A favorite of Chef Jason Weiner's of Almond:
Mavericks in Montauk is another place to check out. It's more of a scene, with an Instagram-worthy, glamorous feel β completely different from what we do here.
Their dramatic raw bar tower is worth trying.
Chef Jeremy Blutstein, who worked with us on our kimchi program, is super talented. Try his roasted carrot dish with Middle Eastern vibes. Suzannah who works with Marilee (of Foster Farm and Sagaponack Farm Distillery) always jokes that she gave all her carrots to Jeremy instead of me, which is our ongoing friendly competition.

This card was written by Chef Jason Weiner, who opened Almond restaurant in 2001 with Eric Lemonides β friends since they were six and five growing up in Brooklyn. Jason honed his craft in kitchens from New York to San Francisco to Las Vegas before settling in the Hamptons with his wife Almond Zigmund, an artist whose name and art graces the restaurant. Jason, together with Eric, have built a beloved restaurant focused on local sourcing, French bistro techniques, and unpretentious hospitality that now includes L&W Market.
