We're talking about Liberty State Park in New Jersey, which has bike and walking trails and a glorious view of the water, Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. And you can take it all in from a restaurant called Liberty House, located at 76 Audrey Zapp Drive in Liberty State Park.
There are a couple of reasons frequent customers come to Liberty House, and a big part of it is the the view. Lower Manhattan is just a taxi ride away...a water taxi, that is. And Lady Liberty is right in your sights.
And that's fun for chef Phil Campanella, who often finds himself preparing food for special occasions like wedding proposals and anniversaries. On his spring menu, he's featuring a savory bread pudding. The wet ingredients are stock, eggs and milk, which are mixed together. The dry ingredients are asparagus and bread cubes, which are mixed separately. Then, the wet mix is poured on top of the dry, and it all soaks together. Chef Phil likes to bake the bread pudding in little ramekins.
Once baked, they're plated and served either as an appetizer or a brunch item. There's also muscles, pasta and kebabs to choose from.
