Gerry Dawes & Friends July 31, 2018 Video Version I, WPWL, Pawling Public Radio show with guest Christopher Cannon from Gerry Dawes on Vimeo.

On July 31 on Gerry Dawes & Friends on WPWL 103.7 Pawling Public Radio I featured the great Christopher Cannon, who was a legendary restaurateur in New York City, before he moved to Morristown, NJ to take over a landmark mansion in the center of the city and turn into Jockey Hollow Bar & Kitchen. Jockey Hollow has five (in season) first rate dining venues, including the great bar room restaurant, the Rathskeller (with live entertainment) and the superb seafood restaurant Da Pesca, which Cannon supplies from specific fishing boats and oyster farms working along the New Jersey coast.

The music was more selections from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, including songs from Gracie Slick and the Jefferson Airplane.

And Gerry Dishes's featured soft-shell crab dipped a chili-laced egg bath then corn meal with Spanish pimentón flakes (red pepper flakes, not picante; similar to piment d'espelette) served on a bed of Mexican corn, with shredded Mexican Cotija cheese, lime juice, jalapeños, red pepper flakes and Catalan aioli.
