Phantom Gourmet: Tastings Wine Bar And Bistro In Foxboro
FOXBORO (CBS) - Just steps from Gillette Stadium at Patriot Place in Foxboro, Tastings Wine Bar and Bistro serves food far more refined than your typical tailgate.
Inside their cozy and stylish dining room, customers are enveloped in warmth and wine bottles, while back in the bustling kitchen, chef Ben Lacy turns out food that can't get any fresher.
"We source local ingredients from local farms, most less than fifty miles away," Lacy said.
In fact, he's so committed to cooking with local ingredients, he bases all his recipes on what's coming off of the farm.
"I really start from the farmers themselves. I start and see what they have available. (EDIT) And then from there, we move on to create the dishes," Lacy said.
Dishes like Roast Pork with braised cabbage, peaches, and pumpernickel, lamb succotash with yellow beans, escarole, and sweet corn, and grilled flatbread topped with whatever's in season.
Tastings also offers a selection of snacks and small plates, like lamb meatballs, fried calamari and aged organic popcorn And everything they serve is bound to pair well with something from their extensive wine list boasting hundreds of wines from around the world and an impressive eighty offered by the glass so you can always find something new to try.
"The focus is on exposing people to new wines, to different wines, to wines from all different regions of the world, and really expanding people's repertoire," Lacy said.
For more food and fun, watch the Phantom Gourmet Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. on myTV38.
