BOSTON, MA July 13, 2004 -- This is Dorchester? Sunny days, pleasant nights, and 3-course dining under the stars at The Blarney Stone is shining new life on dining in Dorchester. Launching a summer menu featuring causal American cuisine designed exclusively by new executive chef, Scott Pelletier, and delivering a 3-course dining prix fixe option grilled on the outdoor patio under the stars the second Tuesday of every month, The Blarney Stone outdoor patio has kicked off the summer with a bang and brings the only outdoor bar option into Dorchester.

Born in Medford, MA and raised on the New Hampshire seacoast, Scott Pelletier has worked in such illustrious kitchens as Liberte and Coconut Grove in San Francisco; Perfetto, a highly acclaimed restaurant in Portland, Maine along with two other restaurants; and most recently commandeered the kitchen at the Pillar House, a long running institution in Lower Newton Falls. From there he went to the White Star tavern and garnered many favorable reviews. His appreciation for local, in-season ingredients, coupled with his formal French training, defines Scott’s cooking style.

“This is an exciting experience for me as I’ve been given free reign to create a fun, American seasonal menu using fresh herbs and vegetables straight from my home garden and our patio garden,” said Scott Pelletier, executive chef at The Blarney Stone. “This neighborhood has long been neglected in the restaurant scene, and I’m very excited at how the Blarney Stone is cutting their own path to deliver a much-needed dining destination to the up-and-coming neighborhoods south of Boston.”

On Tuesday, July 13th, The Blarney Stone launches a 3-course tasting dinner prix fixe ($45 drinks included, $30 food only after 6pm) which is all grilled directly on the candlelit patio. The 3-course menu will be offered on the second Tuesday of every month throughout the summer. Featuring specialty menu highlights available this one night only, July’s menu includes: grilled blarney beef jerky & red bell pepper, snow pea and orange salad; cool chili spiked honey dew melon & yogurt soup; grilled orange - lemongrass salmon with sweet & sour sauce, shiitake mushroom kebabs, fire roasted potatoes; grilled jerked pork tenderloin with smashed sweet potatoes & fried bananas; big people s'mores chocolate chip cookies, grilled marshmallows & chocolate; fried chocolate ravioli sundae; grilled bananas, coconut caramel sauce & vanilla ice cream; and much more.
