The 2010
The Next Iron Chef winner Marc Forgione continues to rake in glowing reviews and draw crowds to his eponymous contemporary restaurant with inventive dishes such as porchetta with fennel, stinging nettle polenta, and salsa verde. From the restaurant:
"In his eponymous restaurant, Chef Marc 'Forge' Forgione showcases his laid-back yet high-style approach to New American cuisine in a comfortable and energetic atmosphere. Forgione and partner Chris Blumlo originally opened the restaurant under the chef's nickname in June 2008, offering their signature style of contemporary food and drink as well as friendly service that draws an eclectic mix of locals and visitors."
"Marc Forgione, which opened two years ago on Reade Street just west of Hudson Street, is a model neighborhood restaurant in a neighborhood that has no shortage of them."
