46 The Queens Courier • buzz • juLY 17, 2014 for breaking news visit www.queenscourier.com BY BRADLEY HAWKS Jinhee Park and Johney Han recently got engaged, and then they decided to open Nosh Borough. “When we can make this restaurant work, we will set a date and make our marriage work,” laughs Park. “For right now,” her fiancé interrupts, “we are just trying to do great slow food cooking — served fast.” They are no strangers to the restaurant scene in New York, and finally parted ways with their last kitchen to open their first independent endeavor. Slow food is the antithesis of fast food. At Nosh Borough, their brisket is smoked for 12 to 13 hours, and they brine their chicken for two days in a special sugar and salt solution. Burgers are a house blend of brisket, ground chuck and sirloin — and they knock ‘em out of the park. Order one banh-mi-style and savor a marinated beef patty topped with a choice of sweet roasted garlic or tangy onion white sauce with lettuce, cucumber, jalapeno, cilantro, pickled daikon and carrots — or just try the Nosh Burger with cheddar, caramelized onion and bacon marmalade. Chicken, pork belly and brisket are available as entrees served with side dishes and a biscuit, or you can have your meat served as a “wafco” — like a taco that uses a paper-thin waffle as a shell. As supporting characters, roasted brussels sprouts with crumbles of bacon are fantastic, and so is the decadently velvety havarti and cheddar mac and cheese. Southern-style dirty rice is speckled with piquant sausage, collard greens are braised with salty bits of ham hock, and corn-on-the-cob is slathered with mayo and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. A creamy country-style sausage gravy can come on a buttermilk biscuit, or you Photo by Bradley Hawks Nosh Borough 25-17 Astoria Blvd. Astoria, NY 11102 347-813-4677 www.NoshBorough.com can have it slathered on a pile of French fries and topped with pico de gallo. Now that’s a whole new kind of disco. And they are also serving a pretty killer chicken pot pie, with the typical pastry crust replaced by a buttery crown of warm buttermilk biscuit. Vegetarians will return for the vegetable tamales, which are built with masa and potato, a blend of poblano and guajillo peppers, earthy mushrooms, sweet onions, a dollop of crema, and pico de gallo. Homemade desserts include a smooth, light and creamy cheesecake topped with seasonal fresh fruit — we devoured a slice loaded with fresh mangoes — or a crazy tasty peanut butter and chocolate tart which arrives like a Reese’s Cup on steroids, built on a blonde cookie crust. If their first month is any indication, this sweet little shop on Astoria Boulevard between 21st and 31st streets is poised to score a grand slam, with an inventive all-star menu that changes monthly. There is ample seating if you want to settle in after ordering from the counter. You can also order delivery from eat24hrs.com. They are even open for lunch. But however and whenever you do, we recommend you stop by and check ‘em out and show ‘em some love. dining out View Over 200 Reviews at queenscourier.com Georgia D I N E R & R E S T A U R A N T D I N E R & R E S T A U R A N T ACT V ACT V Complete Dinner Served 4 to 10 PM Monday thru Friday Except Holidays Complete Dinner Served 4 to 10 PM Monday thru Friday Except Holidays Cup of Soup, Salad, Entree, Potato & Vegetable or Spaghetti, Dessert and Coffee, Tea or Soda Cup of Soup, Salad, Entree, Potato & Vegetable or Spaghetti, Dessert and Coffee, Tea or Soda $1995 $2095 ACT 1 Choice of Soup SOUP DU JOUR - MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER or CHICKEN CONSOMME with Fine Noodles, Matzoh Ball or Rice ACT 1 Choice ACT of Soup IIII DINNER SALAD with Choice of Dressing SOUP DU JOUR - MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER or ACT IIIIII CHICKEN CONSOMME with Fine Noodles, Matzoh Ball or Rice Choice of Entree ACT II BROILED FILET OF SNAPPER ALMONDINE STUFFED FILET OF LEMON SOLE FLORENTINE with Spinach and Feta Cheese BROILED HALIBUT STEAK DINNER SALAD with Choice of Dressing ACT III in Lemon Butter Sauce Choice of Entree BROILED BOSTON SCROD BROILED FILET OF SNAPPER ALMONDINE STUFFED FILET OF in Lemon Butter Sauce LEMON SOLE FLORENTINE with Spinach and Feta Cheese BROILED HALIBUT STEAK BROILED FRESH BROOK TROUT in Lemon Butter Sauce CALAMARI FRA DIAVOLO in Lemon Butter Sauce Calamari and Mussels Served over Linguine CHICKEN PARMIGIANA BROILED BOSTON SCROD with Spaghetti in Lemon Butter Sauce TWO BROILED PORK CHOPS BROILED FRESH BROOK TROUT with Applesauce in Lemon Butter Sauce ROAST YOUNG TOM TURKEY CALAMARI with FRA Dressing DIAVOLO ROUMANIAN SLICED STEAK Calamari and Mussels Served over Linguine Mushroom Sauce CHICKEN PARMIGIANA SMOKED VIRGINIA HAM STEAK with Spaghetti BAKED CHICKEN in Light Mushroom Sauce CHICKEN BROCHETTE TWO BROILED PORK CHOPS with Applesauce with Onions, Pepper and Tomatoes GRILLED CHICKEN SORRENTINO ROAST YOUNG TOM TURKEY with Dressing with Eggplant and Mozzarella ROUMANIAN SLICED STEAK BROILED BEEF LIVER with Fried Onions ROAST HALF Mushroom CHICKEN Sauce with Dressing SMOKED VIRGINIA HAM STEAK PENNE CON BROCCOLI E GRILLED CHICKEN Mixed with Garlic and Oil BAKED CHICKEN in Light MOUSSAKA Mushroom Sauce CHICKEN BROCHETTE Eggplant and Chopped Meat, Topped with Bechamel Sauce ROAST SIRLOIN OF BEEF Au Jus with Onions, Pepper and Tomatoes GRILLED CHICKEN SORRENTINO BAKED LASAGNA, WIDE PASTA LAYERED with Ricotta and Mozzarella in a Delicious Meat Sauce with Eggplant and Mozzarella ACT IIV BROILED BEEF LIVER with Fried Onions ROAST HALF CHICKEN with Dressing CHOICE OF DESSERT: Assorted Danish, Apple Turnover, Assorted Pound Cake, Chocolate Pudding, Bread Pudding, Rice Pudding, Jello or Ice Cream FIINALE PENNE CON BROCCOLI E GRILLED CHICKEN Mixed with Garlic and Oil CHOICE OF BEVERAGE: Coffee, Tea, Fresh Brewed Decaf or Soda • No Substitutions MOUSSAKA Eggplant and Chopped Meat, Topped with Bechamel Sauce OUR NEW AND EXCITING MENU AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY, OFFERS COCKTAILS, STEAKS, CHOPS, SEAFOOD, PASTA, POULTRY ROAST SIRLOIN OF BEEF Au Jus BAKED All Baking LASAGNA,done on Premises WIDE • Private PASTA Parties LAYERED Available with Ricotta and Mozzarella in a Delicious Meat Sauce 86-55 Queens Blvd. • Elmhurst • 718.651.9000 ACT IV (one block west of Queens Center Mall) CHOICE OF DESSERT:LARGE Assorted FREE Danish,PARKING Apple Turnover,LOT Assorted Pound Cake, Chocolate Pudding, Bread Pudding, Rice Pudding, Jello or Ice Cream FINALE CHOICE OF BEVERAGE: Coffee, Tea, Fresh Brewed Decaf or Soda • No Substitutions OUR NEW AND EXCITING MENU AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY, OFFERS COCKTAILS, STEAKS, CHOPS, SEAFOOD, PASTA, POULTRY All Baking done on Premises • Private Parties Available 86-55 Queens Boulevard • Elmhurst • 718-651-9000 (one block west of Queens Center Mall) Large Free Parking Lot There’s a new Nosh in town
