Tonight Only!
Secret Santa stops by Grants and Bricco restaurants with a special gift to each dinner table. So take a break from buying gifts and let Billy…I mean Santa give you one instead. And he doesn’t care if you’ve been naughty or nice.

Nanny Hattie’s Potato Latkes
December 21, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Happy Hanukkah
4-6 large Idaho potatoes
2 eggs
2 onions
2 -3 tablespoons Italian bread crumbs
pepper to taste
cooking oil (corn or canola works best)
Grate enough potatoes to give you 3 heaping cups and place in a bowl of cold water. When ready to make the mixture, drain well and squeeze out extra water.
Beat eggs and grate onions and add to potato mixture. Add pepper and bread crumbs to make a messy mixture that will hold together.
Heat enough oil on medium high to thoroughly coat the bottom of the skillet. Drop little blobs, about 3 inches round, of mixture into oil cooking until golden and crispy on each side. Make sure to stir batter well before dropping in a new batch. Drain on a paper towel. Keep warm uncovered on a cookie sheet while making the rest. Serve immediately with homemade applesauce.

Holiday Food And Toy Drive
November 26, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Every year during the holidays, millions of families go hungry and without the things they need. This year families are struggling even more. To help those in need, Grants and Restaurant Bricco will be collecting non-perishable foods as well as toys new or used, to be donated to the West Hartford Department of Human Services as well as the WIC Program (Women Infants Children). There will be boxes set up at the front doors of both restaurants starting on Thanksgiving Day, November 27th thru December 31st. If you are coming in for lunch or dinner, you can simply drop something off on your way in! Providing families with healthy options that they cannot access on their own is important. So please give generously.
Suggested items: Peanut Butter, Pasta Sauce, Cereals, Boxed Macaroni & Cheese, Tuna Fish, Canned Chili, Canned Stews, Mayonnaise, Apple Sauce, Oatmeal, Baby Food, Instant Formula.
