MeMe’s Diner Alums Are Collaborating on a Summer Residency in Provincetown | Eater Boston

"In Provincetown, Nor'East Beer Garden is hosting a summer-long residency (through October, weather permitting) by New York chefs Bill Clark and Dori Santos: Clark, a pastry chef and former co-owner of the now-closed Brooklyn favorite MeMe’s, and Santos, an industry veteran who learned much of her approach in Ptown. I see the menu playing on Provincetown’s food history and summer food — for example, a blueberry cornflake crisp with sour cream whip based on a blueberry crisp from Peter Hunt’s 1950s Cape Cod Cookbook; cold-smoked beets with brown butter vinaigrette, an ode to Santos’s favorite hangover cure, the buttered beet; and a clam frites that uses the Beer Garden’s lemon frites in an unexpected way. They also serve Santos’s family pork adobo, presented as an easy, not-fussy favorite meant to feel like sharing a piece of her. The chefs emphasize nods to the Beer Garden’s cultural history and regulars while bringing a personal, memory-driven vision for the season — aiming to balance the familiar and the surprising rather than reinventing the wheel, and to make visitors feel like friends when they come in." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
