Ross' Grill Earns 'Best Bite' Award

The complex, delightful flavors of Executive Chef Omar Neil's
fennel bisque earn a Best Bite award for Ross' Grill, in the Whalers Wharf.

TheYearRounder's Best Bite award is given to recognize a really good dish or meal, or a restaurant that is consistently outstanding, or a genuine bargain in a Provincetown eatery. A Best Bite award goes this week to Ross' Grill for their phenomenal fennel bisque, drizzled with a little chive oil.
This velvety soup has a depth of flavors that defies description. It is simply the best thing I've tasted in PTown restaurants over the last couple of weeks. We hope to see this soup du jour appearing again on Ross' menu, soon.
It's the creation of Chef Omar Neil, in the kitchen at Ross' Grill for the past 8 years, now in his 2nd year as executive chef. Bravo!

Untitled gouache on paper by Provincetown painter LaForce Bailey, 1893 - 1962

Award-winning modernist painter LaForce Bailey studied in Provincetown with Charles W. Hawthorne in the early 1920s. Later, his career as an art professor at the University of Illinois allowed him to spend his summers painting in Provincetown, often depicting fishermen and waterfront scenes, creating unusually large watercolors along the working harbor. He considered some of his own work to be too modern for the tastes of much of the public and held back a number of paintings from his one-man show of 1941. His work can be found at the Julie Heller Gallery, on the beach at 2 Gosnold Street. Click the painting above to see more of his work.

Oil on paper "Elizabeth" by beloved Provincetown and New York artist Arthur Cohen, 1928 - 2012

This is a painting of Cohen's wife, the pianist Elizabeth Rodgers, one of his favorite subjects. He also loved to paint landscapes, the Brooklyn Bridge, MacMillan Pier, and any spot along the roads and beaches of Provincetown. He even turned his old Jeep into a mobile studio so he could paint where and whenever the scene struck him. A long-time summer fixture in PTown, he exhibited in half-a-dozen galleries here. Click on the painting above to read a fascinating piece on this highly respected, deeply loved PTown artist. All three pages of the article are well worth reading.

DeQuattro has lived, worked and exhibited in Provincetwn, Florida and other locations, receiving many awards and grants for his fine art and wearable collections.
