“The basic menu at The Brighton is one we will respect for years to come,” commented Michael, “because it’s all about uncomplicated, traditional foods that have stood the test of time... just like The Brighton. We’re really excited about introducing these new menu additions that are traditions in our both of our families.” |

“My great grandmother’s recipe for (pasta) sauce was the first institution we wanted to establish at The Brighton,” explained Michael. “It was a staple in our diet as a family, and is the standard by which we measure all sauces.”
CW’s family (both sides, in fact) hails from Cape Cod, where fishing plays a big role in his family’s past time, and fish play a big role in their diet. “You will find a new signature New England clam chowder on our Friday menu, which was passed down by my great aunt (Pat)” explained CW. “Also, we are offering something that few Rochestarians have ever heard of: stuffed quahogs, or “stuffahs” as my Cape Cod relatives call them. These are actually made on Cape Cod for us, from adult littleneck clams (or cherrystones), which are cooked, hulled and minced, and then added to a stuffing that is put back into the shell. Heated and served open, with a little butter, lemon and cocktail sauce, it’s a great appetizer and complement to our soups and chowders, as a meal.”
