Celebrate July 4th at Bogart'a Bar & Grille. Will it be fireworks or Hancock?

Our great debate this week at Bogart’s Bar and Grille, is whether Hancock the Movie or celebratory fireworks are going to be the “Big Bang” this upcoming Fourth of July. The debate began when our staff started discussing Hancock weekend and if more South Floridians prefer to be inside the cool air conditioned theater dining on our sliders, onion crusted snapper or wasabi crusted tuna rather than baking outside, watching fireworks and praying that the rain will hold off for just one more hour.
As tradition has taught us, native Floridians are immune to the heat and stay outside enjoying the rain, storms and wet chairs, while the new generation of out of town Floridians now living here, flock to the malls, theaters and restaurants to seek refuge in the cooler climate. One thing however, remains the same, we as a population love to watch pretty colors light up the sky while grabbing on to a loved one going, “Wow, that one is the best so far.”
This year the management and staff of Bogart’s Bar and Grille invite you to try something new. While it’s raining outside come enjoy lunch, dinner or both while watching Hancock or any movie that grabs your fancy. Our food in unforgettable, our staff is eager to please and filled with personality, our bar is stocked with your preferred cocktail and your favorite dish is anxiously awaiting your arrival….
Happy Fourth of July, we look forward to spending it with you.

Iron Man hits Bogart's Bar & Grille!!

Iron hit the fans last weekend with an early start of Iron Man the movie by Marvel Comics, Thursday 8pm at Muvico Palace 20. It sold an estimated $100.8 million in tickets at North American theatres and an estimated $200 million plus world-wide.
Oscar nominee Robert Downey Jr. stars as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the story of a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity, Tony builds a high-tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man. The film also stars Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow and Oscar nominees Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges.
Many movie fans will remember Jeff Bridges from his role as ‘The Dude’ in the cult classic movie The Big Lebowski. Downey Jr. was a great choice for the lead role. It was refreshing to see a seasoned actor with amazing talent, but a name not bigger than the role itself play a superhero. This is the same way I felt with seeing Christian Bale play Batman in Batman Begins. I am looking forward to the new Batman movie, Dark Knight, which premiers July 18th, 2008 and features Heath Ledger’s last work, playing the role of The Joker opposite Christian Bale.
Iron Man is currently playing in five of our six Premier Level Theatres (must be 21 or older) at Muvico Palace in Boca Raton, and there are approximately 18 showings everyday. Movie tickets can be purchased online at http://www.muvico.com/. Grab dinner and a drink at Bogart’s and bring them into the theatre with you for the ultimate dinner and Iron Man experience!

"Salt & Pepper Puts a Roof Over Our Head" Salt, and It's Importance In Cooking

My fond interest of salt began when I had just started a new job at the restaurant I will soon call home once again. I was a daytime grill man and for the first 2 weeks I was not salting my food, the chef of course noticed this immediately and berated me about it daily. He called me "salt and pepper" and then everyone else began to as well. I didn't understand how important these little granules actually were until I began to taste things with and without it. The quote above, (see title) is from the very Chef who gave me this nickname and it has been one of the best lessons that I have learned during my culinary career. To this day I will still answer to that name. When I began to taste differences in the food I was producing I started to see what the Chef had been talking about and pounding into my head all this time.
Salt is a vital part of our lives and well being. It has many effects on the body, it is an essential component of our diet and keeps the body running correctly. NaCi (sodium chloride) or better known as salt, breaks down in the body and provides it with Sodium which the body is not able to manufacture on it's own. Sodium is a primary electrolyte and is vital to almost all of the body's movements and nerve impulses, without it we would not be able to function. It also provides the body with Chloride which is essential to our digestive and respiratory systems. It is also essential for osmosis, which is the process in which enables water to travel through the cell walls. This is vital in keeping osmotic pressure of the body's cells at an equilibrium. Bust as we all know to much, salt can also be dangerous for the human body. It can cause dehydration, through the process of osmosis the cell's water is pulled out by the sodium and the body can dehydrate. It can also cause high blood pressure which can damage blood cells and cause stroke or heart attack. This is the reason why we have seen such a boost in the amounts of "low sodium" diets out there in the past few years.
Another important food enhancing technique that involves the use of salt is brining. Brining is generally done with the solution of salt, water and sugar. It can be done to all types of meats as well as vegetables. When brining meats, the meat is submerged in the salt solution for an amount time, in which the salt is able to penetrate into the meat and flavor the inner most parts of the meat. It also enables the meat to absorb water and keep the natural juices inside of it. This is due to the high concentration of salt and water on the outside of the meats cell walls. Without the presence of slat in our food there would be no flavor or taste, it would be bland and would not reach out grab your taste buds like the food that is considered to be great does.
Thank goodness for salt!

Bogart's Concession Offers Healthy Alternatives to Traditional Theater Candy and Popcorn.

For eons, a night at the movies has gone hand in hand with indulging in popcorn, candy, soda, nachos, and every other temptation offered at the theater's concession. This sugary, buttery feast is all fun and games for children's fast metabolisms. However, as we age our metabolisms slow and we begin to suffer consequences from such indulgences.

At Bogart's Bar and Grille, your movie-going experience can mature along with you, guilt-free. We offer a variety of healthy alternatives to traditional theater snacks. In addition to our candies, gourmet chocolates, and complimentary popcorn (free with the purchase of a Premier seating movie ticket), we have salads, pita wraps, bottled waters, and smoothies.

Our new Mixed Berry Smoothie, a delicious blend of fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple juice, sorbet, and no fat yogurt, is a great way to snack healthy. Add an optional Protein Boost and make it a meal substitute. If you are dining in the restaurant, avoid the concession line by ordering a Mixed Berry Smoothie from your server. It is an excellent lite dessert, perfect for sharing with your date after a heavy meal.

WHY ON THIS NIGHT DO WE EAT AT HENRY’S of BOCA RATON, FL?

Only a few of us know that there are really 5 questions for Passover.
Four of those questions were answered by God, but the fifth question?
The fifth question is: why on this night do we eat at Henry’s?
Which leads us to a sixth question: Why, instead of sitting and enjoying the company of your family and friends, would you spend hours on end cooking dish after dish (and later cleaning dish after dish), cleaning the house, setting the table for the adults, another table for the kids, serving the food, only to be rewarded by washing all the dishes, putting everything away, AND THEN doing it all again the NEXT night!

Why go through all that trouble when you know that Chef Joseph Giannuzzi and the staff at Henry’s can do it all for you!

The tradition continues year after year at Henry’s, and this year Seder dinner will be offered April 19th and 20th . There are seating's available for you and your family to dine and enjoy the holiday together. We are offering a prie fixe 4 course traditional Seder menu or one can order ala carte.

And everything is also available for you to take home,
nobody will know you didn’t make it yourself,
let us make your matza balls and prepare the brisket,
you can take the credit, we won’t tell.

Call for more information and reservations.
