Elegance on a plate. Endives signal fancy and while this is neither fancy nor fancy to make it sure looks it. It's like buying something at T.J. Maxx and everything thinking it's designer. Let them believe.

I love fresh pasta. I also love anything that promote beach vibes... which is why when FourSquare asked me to chat with Chef Tim Meyer's of NYC's newest hot spot, Out East, I put on my Hampton chic outfit and headed east.
