Seamus Mullen Heads to the MePa

Flo Fab reports today that Seamus Mullen will be in the kitchen at The Standard Plaza when it opens this Friday at The Standard Hotel.  The Plaza is open through September 30th and gives New Yorkers another alfresco option with its outdoor seating.

The menu features dishes like heirloom tomatoes with smoked burrata, watermelon and crisp quinoa ($16) and grilled sweet shrimp with chorizo, zucchini and myer lemon ($15).  These "media raciones" are smaller plates meant to be shared and a wood-fired grill will be the cooking element for many of them.  Hotel owner André Balazs’s farm upstate will provide some of the produce.

Seamus Mullen isn't trying to reinvent the wheel at The Standard Plaza, he's just making "food that's part of the enjoyment of eating outdoors."
