filet, New York strip, etc. ... But
items like salmon, pompano and
red snapper are usually sell-outs.
Crumpets does its own
butchering ... buying whole sides
of beef and cutting them at the
restaurant ... A professional
butcher for over 30 years comes
in three or four nights a week to
cut up the meat which Mark and
his staff prepare so expertly.
Steaks are fully trimmed very
close so that there are no fat
glands or sinew ... Just edible
meat.
They are aged for two to three
weeks ... and lightly marinated.
Sauces are all natural ... No
bases.
The Delmonico steak, for ex-
ample, is marinated in Cajun
spice and served with a bell pep-
per sauce.
Crumpets now has its own
smoker, too ... for the salmon, lok,
turkey, etc. that are prepared.
It makes just about every-
thing itself ... soups, sauces,

dressings, most of the pastries ...
and even its own potato chips.
The menu and wine list at
Somerset Inn are anything but
the standard kind you would or-
dinarily expect in a hotel.
With a chef of such culinary
expertise as Mark Kuzma, there
is no such thing as ordinary....
Crumpets' dinner menu is defi-
nitely not what folks would look
for in a lot of hotel dining rooms.
Many of the dishes border on
the sensational that can come
only from someone whose cuisine
knowledge has a high ranking.
Small wonder people have
been discovering Crumpets ...
and not telling anyone else.
The guy who took his gal there
for her birthday was probably
one of them.
