Tellers Blazes A Trail In Chophouse Menus On Long Island

Tellers Chophouse and Executive Chef Alan Kwan blaze a trail in chophouse menus on Long Island with a broader flavor profile of beef selections and new, surf and turf entr�e combinations.

In addition to the classic, prime and dry-aged steaks that form the backbone of the Tellers menu, the American chophouse introduces four new proprietary ranch selections. Diners are presented with a broader flavor profile range from the rich tasting, corn-fed Nebraska-reared beef to newer and lighter tasting, grass-fed beef from smaller farms in Oregon, California and Maine. This is possible as the taste of beef, like wine, is affected by terroir or the special characteristics of geography - soil and microclimate. The new beef options are also sustainable ones from cattle reared in the traditional manner, pasture-raised to grow at their own pace. This is the way all cattle were once raised before the rise in prime beef's popularity, its scarcity and its cost. The new choices also allow Tellers to pass along cost-options while helping to support smaller farmers.

Chef Alan Kwan also introduces five new seafood entrees as part of a custom surf and turf menu. New are Cioppino, a chunky tomato-based fisherman's stew with onions, celery garlic and red wine, saut�ed scallops with a chanterelle mushroom and a black truffle ragout, lobster scampi, grilled shrimp and jumbo prawns. Each dish bears Kwan's signature touches: seasonal ingredients; flavor with each bite; and a sense of fullness that does not equate to heaviness. When combined with classic beef and new proprietary ranch selections, diners will have the option of over fifty surf and turf menu combinations. The menu will be reviewed regularly and evolve based on availability of beef but also diner preference.
