With Christmas already in the rear view mirror, it’s now the New Year that is coming up on us quickly, and that means New Year’s Eve.

This New Year’s Eve we have a special chef and a special menu and a special 7:00pm seating. Please call Liz at the Deli to reserve — 652-3354.

Our chef for the evening is Fred Decker. He’s a Maritimer who, like many of us, spent time out west. You may remember a column he had not long ago in the Telegraph-Journal called Field and Table.

You can find out more about Fred (including his fascination with food, particularly local food) at the Bounty of New Brunswick site, where Fred also has his blog.

As for what is on the menu, it begins with a variety of appetizers, including caramelized pears with brie and honey, cucumber rosettes, tapenade toasts and more … all followed by a palate cleansing chef’s choice sorbet.

This will be followed by the primary business at hand, the main choices – land and sea. These options are a pesto chicken or glazed salmon or beef wellington or our vegetarian choice, roasted vegetable strudel with roasted red pepper coulis.

For the full details on our main choices, as well as our ‘something sweet to finish’ dessert duo, have a look at our complete New Year’s Eve menu (.pdf file).

It’s a special New Year’s Eve at the Urban Deli with a special 7:00pm seating. Please call the Deli at 652-3354 and ask for Liz to reserve a seat.

We’re looking forward to a great evening and hope you can join us!

We’re geared up for next week’s Chop Chop “Feast”-ival. What’s that? Have a look at Dig in at the Chop Chop Feastival! As the article says, “The concept was to celebrate local businesses, local food, and show how far the city (Saint John) has come.”

It starts Sunday (November 1) and runs through Saturday (November 7) and it’s a fine opportunity to get a taste of Uptown Saint John. Of course, we’re not open on Sundays so the Urban Deli will be getting underway on Monday (November 2). And what does all this mean?

It means all of the participating restaurants (including the Urban Deli) will feature something as we show the world what Uptown Saint John has to offer by way of food. Here’s what we at the Deli have planned:

Urban Deli 2 course lunch or dinner for $12:
– Soup or Salad and a Montreal Smoked Meat Pizza (Vegetarian Pizza also available)

Our Chop Chop Plate for $10:
– The Trio: Hummus, Roasted Garlic & Artichoke Dip & Chicken Liver Pate served with Seasoned Pita Chips

If you’re a foodie, you may want to keep your calendar open next week so you can try all the features at our Uptown restaurants. And even if you aren’t a foodie, it’s a good bet you’ll discover something or someplace new.

How many places can you visit in a week?
