We enjoyed another phenomenal dinner at James on Main in Hackettsown, NJ. We enjoyed Hiramasa (yellowtail kingfish) crudo with yuzu peach emulsion, avocado oil, and jalapenos; octopus al ajillo with local garlic, hot paprika, heirloom tomato, and arbol chilis; burrata with local peach salad, toasted pecans, and aged balsamic; Viking Village scallops with sweet corn velvet, foraged chanterelles, crispy house bacon, and red sorrel; wood fired hog chop with maple coffee glaze; duck leg confit with house made sausage. We also had an awesome amuse bouche of pastrami cured salmon. It all went great with an excellent 2009 Napa Cabernet. Mrs. P’s name is Debra. When she was young her grandfather used to call her Little Debbie cupcake after the brand. On the way out we saw an old Little Debbie poster and had big “Debbie” pose next to it with her Loubitons. That is what the last picture is. She only wanted me to take the picture of her shoe and the poster
