Restaurant guide

Yesterday was Bolete’s 11th birthday. Admittedly I am terrible at ceremony. Lee and I both forget our wedding anniversary almost every year. I am terrible at slowing down, taking it all in, living in the moment. I mean who has time for that? So this year I forgot again on the actual morning. So today I promised myself as we travelled with most of our staff to spend a few days together (an annual tradition) that I would reflect. I looked through years of photos; staff we still consider family, celebrations, guests who have become close friends. And this picture was the one that best represented how I feel today: GRATEFUL. For every hand that has opened this door whether to come to work, to celebrate, to mourn, to partner or to come home. Lee and I walked through this door to begin a journey I couldn’t have imagined with just our shared dream, a lot of love and a TON of people who believed in us. And some who didn’t. I carried both my babies home through this door. So as we get ready to open our third passion project I always remember where we started. Walking through this door. Thank you for all the love, support and continued appreciation for what we do. It takes a village and we are so grateful. #gratitude #followyourdreams #eatbolete #11years #bolete #birthday #anniversary #reflection #takeapause #lehighvalley

This year OITF was a family affair! While it sure was muddy it sure was fun and yummy! Thanks @out_inthefield and @bloomingglenfarm for having us for the third year and for everyone who joined us. #outinthefield #outstandinginthefield #eatbolete #farm #farmdinner #eat #loveyourfarmers #perkasie #atleastitstoppedraining

Have you checked out the new Bolete merchandise yet? Holiday season is just around the corner!

We are all SUPER excited to have some puffballs around here. Is it mushroom? Is it a marshmallow? Is it a volleyball? Try them tempura fried tonight with sriracha aioli, grapefruit, sweet and sour mushroom sauce and baby bok choy #yummy #puffballs #local #eatbolete #eattheearth #forager #goofballs @leechizmar photo cred to @thehorsechild

And The Beet Goes On..... barreled gin, nardini armaro, cherry balsamico, local beet juice, lemon juice, heavy dash angostura. It’s some of Stephen’s best work. #andthebeetgoeson #eatbolete #farmtoglass #sofreshandsonew #summertimesippers #beets @food52 @thehorsechild @tales_of_the_cocktail

So this guy @thehorsechild slings it all night long and then on Saturdays makes all of us a cocktail at the end of the night. I guess you could say #liquorishislovelanguage. Thank you for being generous with your craft. We ❤️ you #grateful #bethankful #slayallday #youiskindyouissmartyouisimportant

When Daddy gives you bone marrow it's like Christmas in June. Roasted Bone Marrow with cornichon, radish, peppers, capers, egg and sourdough. This girl's love language is def food #chefkidlife #marrowisforlovers #eatbolete #itslatinformushroom #lovelanguage #food52 #kidsofinstagram #coltonisabel

Ms Hemingways's Daiquiri new to the menu. Hibiscus infused manatawny rum, grapefruit, maraschino, and lime. Come and drink some Summer in...#eatbolete #itslatinformushroom #daiquiri #hemingway

So all week we have been cheering Lee on. These people need some serious cheering on. These folks right here made it possible for Lee to do this ride. They kicked ass and made my heart swell. When you start with a dream and 10 years later people still nearly kill themselves making it a reality with you then they are for sure your family. We love you. @leechizmar @staples570 #youneverdoitalone #dreams #saythankyou #gratitude #chefscycle #badass #kickass #theseamazingpeople

These two look pretty happy for being close to their 300 mile mark. Thank you to all who have supported Lee. He has raised a little over 15k for @chefscycle @nokidhungry and there is still time to donate. @tmaws No worries Lee is doing another 300 mile ride and you can always get it then 😬😬😬 #crazy #makeamericafullagain #chefscycle #howmanymilesdidyouridetoday #feedourkids

I am so incredibly proud of my husband for doing this ride, for our incredible team at Bolete for making it possible and grateful to all the generous people that supported him in raising over 13k. One day and 100 miles left!! https://www.facebook.com/ChefsCycle/posts/773242962886010

Chef was reunited with dear friend Phil who is doing the ride with him. He is 160 miles into his three day/300 mile ride. There is still time to donate!! Every dollar provides ten meals to hungry children across America. #makeamericafullagain #chefscycle #giveback #eatbolete @chefscycle #feedthechildren #endchildhoodhunger http://join.nokidhungry.org/site/TR/ChefsCycle/General?px=3275791&pg=personal&fr_id=1481

One of my fave things about Spring is this dish back on the menu tonight! Rhode Island Fluke Sashimi with peas, pickled ramps, beech mushrooms, pea tendrils, pea purée and ramp foam. #eatbolete #dirttodelicious #ramps #food52 #springhassprung #seasonal #bolete #rampseason

Sleep deprivation and creativity don't necessarily go hand in hand BUT the world waits for no one so....working on a reshaping/reworking of the list and hoping to be inspired by all the #roseallday that we just got in. Come and get it!! #rose #txakolina #ameztoi #bandol #corbieres #eatbolete #itslatinforrose

That's right we do!!! We are currently in search of a line cook, server, host and backwaiter to fill out our family. We are looking for individuals with experience, humor, humility, joy and an excellent work ethic. Please apply at [email protected] with a resume. We look forward to meeting you.

Stephen tells me this is what to drink this Summer and so I #believe him Dugges Tropic Punch Swedish sour ale dripping with sweet guava, tart pineapple & juicy mango. Quenching & tart Stillwater Cloud 5 hop IPA brewed with oats & lactose. Pillowy and dreamy. A must try! Evil twin low life Pils A modern take on your dads lawnmower beer. Grassy, malty, golden & undeniably crushable #listentostephen #summeryummyumm

Sometimes date night looks like fifteen minutes and some shared oysters on the back porch #actualchefwifelife #oysters #eatbolete #surfandturf #husbandofarestauranteur #itsthelittlethings

I am not the easiest wife. I am not exactly sympathetic and I can be tough so I feel like I can say objectively that my husband kicks ass for doing this ride. Being a Chef is not easy - long hours, never seeing your family and the list goes on. But still this crazy has been getting up super early to ride to work, riding long rides on his day off and staying up late to train. So please consider giving to this worthy cause. He is going to ride 300 miles in three days with chefs from all over the country donating this time to help feed hungry kids. Even one dollar counts. http://join.nokidhungry.org/site/TR/ChefsCycle/General?px=3275791&pg=personal&fr_id=1481 http://join.nokidhungry.org/site/TR/ChefsCycle/General?px=3275791&pg=personal&fr_id=1481
