Venue Description

About Cook & Brown

As one of the major metropolitan cities in the Northeast, Providence has begun to come out of the woodwork and into it's own with respect to it's culinary diversity.With the resurgence of the local and national economy, Cook & Brown is proud to be able to offer the local community of increasingly knowledgeable and sophisticated diners a new and exceptional restaurant concept. We are driven by our desire to provide refined cuisine at an accessible price point with warm and welcoming yet professional service. With a focus on New England seasonality we will work tirelessly to procure the best ingredients from local farmers, fishermen, ranchers and food artisans. Combined with precise European technique the food will have a rustic, country-style essence yet will be carefully presented in a refined manner. The food will be paired with esoteric old world wines as well as handcrafted cocktails and small batch beers. The restaurant will offer a full bar menu as well as a traditional a la carte menu offered both in the dining room and bar area. In the future, Cook & Brown will also be open for brunch Saturday and Sunday, providing a new option for local merchants and residents to have a quick bite, or for those wishing to relax and enjoy a leisurely weekend meal. By integrating the restaurant into the community at large we hope to become a fixture in the landscape of Providence for years to come, a destination for locals and visitors alike. The overall vision for Cook & Brown is to complete this dining experience by providing an atmosphere that is comfortable and homey so that each diner will leave with the feeling that they have just been to a dinner party in the home of a dear friend.

About Nemo

As proprietor and head chef, Nemo Bolin brings 15 years of restaurant experience to Cook & Brown. He began his career at L'Etoile restaurant on Martha's Vineyard, a French inspired fine dining establishment inside of a Relais and Chateau property. It was there, in his formative restaurant years, that he developed a love for the business and began honing his skills as a cook. After graduating from Union College with a B.A. in English Literature he realized his true passion was cooking and he subsequently enrolled in culinary school in Boston, MA. Since that time he has worked in some of the most highly regarded restaurants in Boston (No. 9 Park, Locke-Ober, Craigie St. Bistrot) and San Francisco (Rubicon, Chez Papa Resto). In addition he has worked in other areas of the food, hospitality and service industries to increase his knowledge and skill in all facets of restaurant management. These include managing a boutique wine store, baking and overseeing all kitchen staff at an American-style bakery and working as a production chef for a large catering company.

Chez Pascal Providence

.0m away

We met while working on opposite sides of the ‘house’ at the wonderful Hamersley’s Bistro in Boston. Soon thereafter we set our course for Rhode Island and opened the doors of Chez Pascal in March of 2003. The restaurant is constantly evolving with the ebb and flow of local, seasonal produce; taking cue from the fantastic farmers who inspire us and remaining true to classic, thoughtful food. the truck Hewtin’s Dogs Mobile Food Truck was created in 2008 as a result of Matt’s incessant fascination (passion) for making sausages and curing meats. It was an extension of our beloved Hot Dog Cart that was located in the park across the street from the restaurant in weather permitting months. The Truck was designed to feature our House Made Sausages, Sandwiches and Cured Meats, changing frequently like the restaurant menu, based on what is in season. It developed a wonderful loyal following (to which we are most grateful). In 2012 we opened the wurst kitchen and as a result retired the truck. However, you can still get our house made sausages, sandwiches etc, all the wonderful things you knew and loved from the truck. But now you’ll always know where we are. the wurst kitchen The Wurst Kitchen is a small open kitchen located in Chez Pascal. This opened in 2012 and focuses on our house made sausages even more! Open for lunch and dinner. Check out the Wurst Kitchen story on this site! You haven’t had our best until you’ve had our wurst. If you’ve been a hundred times or have never been before, we invite you to experience all that the seasons have to offer through our menus. We hope the charm of the dining room, the comforting ease of the staff, and the enticing combination of flavors and aromas will make your first visit to Chez Pascal & The Wurst Kitchen the first of many. We look forward to seeing you soon! Kristin & Matthew Gennuso
