Seems she is VERY pregnant and has not been able to spend as much time at the place as she would have liked. They have also had trouble, based on their location, in finding and keeping staff. However, starting today her husband Ken Munz has left his position at Jean Georges and will be running the kitchen at Hope & Anchor full-time. He came out of the kitchen and ran down some new items, which should be available in a few weeks on their totally new menu. Imagine - a four star chef running this little place in Red Hook. At any rate, he said that they are still committed to keeping prices low, and keeping the old favorites on the menu. I'm really excited to see where this goes....

Do I need a reservation on a Friday night??? Fri Oct 18 16:48:45 -0700 2002 1266707 0 Faren
