When we last spoke with the always on the go Celebrity Chef Eric Greenspan he was just about to compete on Food Network’s “Chopped – All-Stars Tournament,” Part 1 against Madison Cowan, Brian Malarkey and Art Smith. We’ll get updated on the results of that intense cook-off.
Chef Eric was also about to launch a mysterious new seafood concept on what was previously the hidden back patio of The Foundry on Melrose. That restaurant, now open, is Mare with a focus on fresh seafood. It’s located in the back of the Melrose Umbrella Company. You enter through Greenspan’s Grilled Cheese located next door.
Mare opens on Weeknights at 5:00 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday service starts at 3:00 p.m. Reservations are accepted for groups of six, or more, guests. You can call ahead and get a feel for anticipated wait-times.
Current menu highlights are Fried Smelt with roasted lemon and Whole Branzino with fig pomegranate sauce. There is also a fun “Choose Your Own Shellfish” option (black mussels, clams or shrimp) with a “Choose Your Broth” selection (leek and white wine, tomato fennel, pistou, spicy sausage romesco, or vadouvan green apple.)
Chef Eric is with us to provide all the needed updates.
