Celebrity chef Nick Liberato, host of Netflix’s Restaurants on the Edge, has called his soon-to-come The Borscht Belt in the Stockton Market a “love letter to the Jewish delicatessen.
But Russ & Daughters, a New York culinary institution founded by a Jewish immigrant, doesn t see it quite so fondly.
The iconic shop and cafe with four New York locations alleged in an Instagram post that Liberato copied Russ & Daughters design. It did not include a legal threat. The design that you copied for your deli does not even come from a deli, the post reads. You are copying us without credit or an understanding of the food tradition we uphold, while couching your plagiarism as homage to some bygone era that has disappeared.
Celebrated Bucks County chef Max Hansen is making a move to Princeton, New Jersey, to open a venue for his popular catering business, Max Hansen Caterer.
Princeton Farmhouse, the Mercer County headquarters of his catering operation, is a 25,000-square-foot, multimillion-dollar venue on an 82-acre campus with full-service liquor license.
Hansen, who has served the Mercer and Bucks county communities for more than 25 years, saw a lack of sizeable premium event spaces in the Princeton area. Once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, the event space will accommodate up to 300 guests for sit-down affairs, he said.
Princeton Farmhouse, a full-service catering and event facility, includes a commissary kitchen, offices, large deck, grounds with native and sustainable plants and a New England-style farm aesthetic. The venue, which was five years in the making, is being designed by Studio Hillier with construction beginning late this summer. The opening is slated for summer 2022.

Welcome the newest trend in international travel vaccination vacations.
Optional for a fortunate few with money or connections, international travel for vaccines could be a double-edged sword, say public health and travel experts.
More international travel is expected this summer. Vaccines are drawing visitors from countries where supplies are scarce, noted Bruce Rosenberg, chief operations officer at HotelPlanner.com. That benefits struggling airlines, hotels and restaurants.

Tourism in Bucks County is big business and the hospitality industry feeds and shelters those who visit here.
To help the industry get back to normal as more people are vaccinated and the pandemic eases this coming spring and summer, the county is funneling $7.1 million in state grants of $5,000 to $50,000 to qualifying restaurants, bars, hotels and motels.
Applications will be taken from March 15 through April 2 electronically for these “first come, first served” grants.
Called CHIRP, for COVID-19 Hospitality Industry Recovery Program, the funding will provide assistance to those businesses employing fewer than 300 full-time equivalent workers and that have maximum tangible net worth of not more that $15 million.
