New to the list include Carpe Diem in Hoboken and newly opened Park Avenue Bar & Grill in Union City and Soul Flavors in Jersey City.

<p>Hudson Restaurant Week is presented by 77 Hudson, a residential building under construction on the Jersey City waterfront. To celebrate the week and 77 Hudson's sponsorship, participating restaurants will be offering an exclusive drink called the Big Apple 77 Hudson Martini. In addition, 77 Hudson condos will feature luxurious top-of-the-line kitchen appliances by Bosch. Visit www.hudsonrestaurantweek.com for your chance to win a Bosch gourmet coffee machine (valued at $1200). Hudson Restaurant Week is produced by Get Out Hudson publications. </p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p><em>First time attendees at this week’s NATPE 2006, the global television confab, may wonder who those two guys are in the zoot suits cooking up a storm on the tradeshow floor. NATPE veterans know them as the hardest working chefs in showbiz. The Clever Cleaver Brothers are Steve Cassarino and Lee N. Gerovitz — professional chefs who turned their love for food and laughter into a unique showbiz career.</em></p>

<p>Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) January 23, 2006 -- First time attendees at this week’s NATPE 2006, the global television conference this week at Mandalay Bay Resort, may wonder who those two guys are in the zoot suits cooking up a storm on the tradeshow floor. NATPE veterans know them as The Clever Cleaver Brothers, the hardest working chefs in showbiz.<br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Now in their 12th year of exhibiting at NATPE, The Clever Cleaver Brothers are Steve Cassarino and Lee N. Gerovitz — professional chefs who turned their love for food and laughter into a unique career as television personalities, infomercial hosts, cookbook authors, magazine columnists and, as one pundit called them, "stand-up chefs."</p>

<p>At this annual schmooze-fest for television’s influential executives, rising stars and power brokers, Steve and Lee will not only be working their booth in person for all 21 hours of the three-day tradeshow, but they will also be bagging groceries — and then giving them away free to attendees. The two chefs plan to hand out 2,500 bags of freebies, including Cholula Hot Sauce, Au'some Sour Fruit Juice String Pouches, Georgia Pecans and other goodies. </p>

<p>Seen nationally on "The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno," "Entertainment Tonight," "Fox & Friends," “Dateline NBC” and dozens of other network and cable shows, television's zaniest chefs also produce their own syndicated TV programming, which has now been broadcast in more than 50 countries in five languages. During pro football season, “Tailgatin’ with The Clever Cleaver Brothers™” airs in 18 U. S. cities with a weekly audience of nearly 2-million viewers. Later this year, commuters will see their programming on transit system video terminals throughout the country. </p>

<p>At NATPE 2006, the duo will introduce their new series of TV cooking vignettes “The Clever Cleaver Kitchen,” a 52-week series of 90-second program inserts shot in high definition and available for broadcast this Fall by local stations.</p>

<p>After hours, The Clever Cleaver Brothers have become part of NATPE lore by showing up in their flamboyant attire at posh TV exec parties — whether of not they are on the guest list!</p>

<p>“For years, we’ve been sneaking into King World’s mega-party without an invite,” says Cassarino. “And that’s not easy,” he adds, “considering we’re wearing matching gold lamé suits!”</p>

<p>“Roger King always smiles when he sees us and tells us that he needs to get better security — next year,” says Gerovitz.</p>

<p>This year however, the culinary duo won’t be doing any partying on Wednesday night.</p>

<p>“We have a rehearsal that evening at a TV studio on Dean Martin Drive for a national satellite media tour scheduled for early Thursday morning,” says Gerovitz.</p>

<p>“And they want us back in studio for a 2:00 AM call for five hours of interviews with morning TV shows in earlier time zones,” adds Cassarino.</p>

<p>After a quick breakfast and change of costume, Steve and Lee plan to be back at NATPE by 9:00 AM and put in another day on the tradeshow floor. Then it’s off to Los Angeles to tape a guest appearance on the Soap Network’s “Soap Talk.” </p>

<p>When these two culinary cut-ups aren’t producing or hawking their TV wares, they’re on the road with their Vegas-style cooking show appearing at casinos, fairs, festivals and theaters. Steve and Lee also find time each year to squeeze in nearly 100 live appearances on TV stations in major cities. Later this month the duo will head out for their annual “Pigskin Party Recipe” 10-day tour with appearances on daytime TV shows in Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Ft. Worth, Hartford, Kansas City and St. Louis. </p>

<p>“Hard work is a key ingredient in any recipe for success,” says Gerovitz.</p>

<p>“Of course, it helps to have fun along the way,” adds Cassarino.<br />

<![CDATA[<p>Innovation in terms of new products launched and heavy advertising expenditures boosted flavoured bottled water and powder concentrates. However, as a result of improved disposable income and a more certain macroeconomic scenario, consumers began to resume their predevaluation drinking habits, returning to their favourite brands and products. This boosted an overall recovery in volume sales. Some soft drinks' prices increased ahead of inflation, such as functional drinks and fruit/vegetable juice, paving the way for a brighter future.</p>

<p>The Carbonates in Argentina report offers a comprehensive guide to the size and shape of the market at a national level. It provides the latest retail sales data (1999-2004), allowing you to identify the sectors driving growth. It identifies the leading companies, the leading brands and offers strategic analysis of key factors influencing the market - be they legislative, distribution, packaging or pricing issues. Forecasts to 2009 illustrate how the market is set to change.</p>

<p>Product coverage includes: cola carbonates (standard, low calorie, other), non-cola carbonates (lemonade/lime, orange, mixers, other). Data coverage includes market sizes (historic and forecasts), company shares and brand shares.</p>

<title>An Increase in Personal Disposable Incomes in the UK Has Seen an Increase in the Demand for Better-Quality Chilled Foods</title>

<![CDATA[<p><em>Research and Markets (researchandmarkets.com/reports/c31307) has announced the addition of Chilled Foods Market Report Plus 2005 to their offering.</em><br />
 <br />
Dublin (PRWEB) January 23, 2006 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c31307) has announced the addition of Chilled Foods Market Report Plus 2005 to their offering.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>This Market Report Plus focuses on the UK chilled prepared foods market, which comprises the following sectors: cheese, yogurts and chilled desserts, ready meals, delicatessen meats, yellow fats, pizzas, dressed salads, savoury pastry products, cream and other chilled prepared foods. We estimate that, in 2004, the total UK chilled prepared foods market was worth £8.09bn at retail selling prices (rsp), a rise of 5.3% on 2003.</p>

<p>Growth in the chilled prepared foods market has been driven by a number of factors. A positive economic background — with an ongoing rise in personal disposable incomes from 2000 onwards — has manifested itself in the food market through greater demand for more convenient, better-quality foods. At the same time, interest in food of all kinds is stronger than ever, as a result of a rise in international travel, a thriving restaurant trade in international cuisines and strong media interest in cookery. This has encouraged the development of regional and specialty products. In addition, consumers are willing and able to pay for more convenient food options.</p>

<p>These trends have become apparent in the chilled prepared foods market with an ongoing programme of new product development (NPD), revamps and relaunches to engage consumer interest. Successful development of branding in areas such as healthy eating, premium, regional and other sectors has also played an important role. In particular, the growth of functional foods has driven development in chilled dairy products, including spreads, cheese and yogurt products. Organic and `free-from' ranges have also had an influence.</p>

<p>The chilled prepared foods market includes a number of the UK's largest food groups, such as Dairy Crest Group PLC, Unilever UK Foods Ltd, Uniq PLC, Northern Foods PLC and Nestlé UK Ltd. Many offer their own major brands, including Cathedral City, Flora and Ski. At the same time, retailer own-label brands are prominent in all sectors. Since the late 1990s, retailers have been successful in developing the quality image of their brands and adding to them with the introduction of sub-brands based on health, quality and other factors.</p>

<p>The chilled prepared foods market has been outperforming the food sector as a whole for a number of years. Consumers have viewed the chilled cabinet as a destination for convenience and quality, and suppliers have managed to generate and maintain interest through a developing and changing portfolio of products, as well as major brands. In addition, consumers are often willing to pay more for chilled products than for ambient or frozen versions of the same lines. As a result, in real terms, sales of chilled prepared products will continue to grow in the medium term. </p>

</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Existing shareholders of Foodco oversubscribed the company’s offer by more than 239% within a week of the announcement. </p>

<p>Foodco had offered 16.5 million common stocks on a par value of AED 1 per share. Sense Gourmet was set up in October 2005 with a capital of AED 33 million. The shares are expected to be listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Market (ADSM) in the fourth year of the company’s operations.</p>

<p>“Our shareholders have once again proved that they have enormous faith in the company. With the subscribed amount, the total capital of Sense Gourmet now stands at AED 56 million including Foodco’s share of AED16.5 million,” said Foodco’s Managing Director and Member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Ahmed bin Ali Khalfan Al Dhahery.</p>

<p>Sense Gourmet was set up as a subsidiary of Foodco to expand into catering, restaurant franchise and other retail operations in the hospitality sector. The company was formed with a specific purpose of establishing high-potential restaurants across GCC countries in partnership with renowned restaurant operators as well as catering services.</p>

<p>“The shareholder response gives us the necessary impetus to go ahead and implement our well-laid out strategies for Sense Gourmet. We have great plans for our subsidiary and we are sure the company will make its mark in the industry,” added Mr. Al Dhahery.</p>

<p>Over an expected investment horizon of five years, shareholders will get yield in the region of nearly 37%, remarked Mr. Al Dhahery.</p>

<p>The company will also deploy its capital in potentially high yield investment opportunities, especially in restaurants business. Currently the focus is on the GCC countries, the neighbouring MENA region and South Asia.</p>

<p>“Sense Gourmet is projected to generate more than 36% additional turnover annually for Foodco. The already vigorous bottom line of Foodco will get a further stimulus with Sense Gourmet. But more importantly, we are sure Sense Gourmet will ensure better returns for our shareholders besides bringing further enhancement to our profitability,” remarked Mr. Al Dhahery of Foodco.</p>

<p>Foodco, the parent company, is already in the process of setting up a AED200 million industrial zone for foodstuffs in Abu Dhabi which could be achieved on the same basis as sense gourmet namely, 50% current shareholder and 50% Foodco. </p>

<p>Foodco is a public shareholding entity that operates under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the UAE. The company is head quartered in Abu Dhabi with branches in Dubai and Al Ain. </p>

<p>Prominent among Foodco's portfolio of brands include Virginia, Mubarak Basmati Rice, Hafeet Spring Water, Quick Tea, F Tissues, Al Safwa Powder Milk, Danchi Chicken, Master Food range of food products, and Wrap 'N' Roll Aluminium Foil.</p>

<p>The company retains a large portfolio of high profile brands including household names such as Virginia, Shehrazade, Mubarak Basmati Rice, Hafeet Spring Water, Quick Tea, Karkade Cordial Drink, F Tissues, Al Safwa Powder Milk, Danchi Chicken, Master Food and Master Chef range of food products. Foodco also has sole agency rights of major international brands such as Pasta Zara, Orlando Vine Leaves, Languiru Frozen Chicken, Golden Frozen Chicken From Frangasul-Doux, Jelly Joy Juice and Pak Dairy.</p>

<p>In addition to dealing in a wide range of premium brands, export and distribution of essential commodities like rice, sugar, salt and cooking oil are placed on top of Foodco's portfolio of services. The company is also a volume supplier of frozen poultry, meat and vegetables to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen, Iran and Egypt.</p>

<p>The FMCG company recently made a foray into associated businesses like packaging and providing a range of solutions to the foodstuff industry. </p>

<![CDATA[<p><em>Miller’s Ale House Restaurant in Alpharetta will host a first class Super Bowl party on Sunday, February 5th starting promptly at 5pm. And, it's all about the food.</em><br />
 <br />
Alpharetta, GA (PRWEB) January 21, 2006 -- Miller's Ale House Restaurant in Alpharetta will host a first class Super Bowl party on Sunday, February 5th starting promptly at 5pm. Their annual $50 per seat all-you-can-eat buffet event is "fit for tailgaters and NFL owners alike and will include a massive amount of peel-and-eat shrimp chilled by a four foot ice sculpture of the Lombardi Trophy," stated Mike McGann, General Manager of the restaurant.<br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>McGann expects to have a full-house on Super Bowl Sunday and will highlight a food spread the size of an offensive line to include: crab legs, a steamship round, clams, oysters, homemade Italian six-foot hoagies, chicken wings, pastas, salads, chips and more. The price of admission also includes an open bar of well, call and premium liquors, all draft and bottled beer and wine by the glass (excludes shots and bottled wine).</p>

<p>Miller's Ale House Restaurant will close down to the general public during the Super Bowl hours for this exclusive party event. Throughout the game Miller's Ale House Restaurant will be giving away plenty of great gifts. In the past those gifts have included golf bags and accessories, tee shirts, coolers and more.</p>

<p>With all there is going on how will the patrons be able to see the game? Miller's Ale House Restaurant has 44 TVs so everyone has a prime seat for the game. Also to support the patron who may not want to drive home after the festivities the Homewood Suites across the street has agreed to give ticket holders from Miller's Ale House Restaurant a special discounted rate for the night.</p>

<p>With the evening ending when the game clock reads 00:00 – surely some will be hoping for overtime.</p>

<p>Miller's Ale House Restaurant is located at 10750 Davis Drive in Alpharetta, off of Mansell Road, just west of GA 400. It is next to the parking areas of Sam's Club and Home Expo. Jack and Claire Miller opened the first Ale House Restaurant in Jupiter, Florida in 1988. This successful casual-dining restaurant chain attracts customers from all walks of life by offering great food and drinks at an incredible value. Two featured proprietary items include "Zingers" (boneless chicken wings coated in a choice of sauces) and a homemade ice cream cake dessert known as "Captain Jack's". The chain has grown to a total of 38 restaurants in Florida. Miller's Ale House Restaurant in Alpharetta opened its doors for business in August of 2004 and is the only Ale House Restaurant outside of the state of Florida. It quickly became identified within the local neighborhood as the ideal meeting ground for people to come and relax, have an enjoyable lunch or dinner, socialize with friends, watch a sporting event or bring the entire family in for a great meal and fun. Hours: Sun thru Wed from 11:00 am until 1:00 am and Thurs thru Sat from 11:00 am until 2:00 am. For Super Bowl party tickets phone the restaurant at 678-277-2581. </p>

<title>Happy Couples Giving Crabby Gifts this Valentine&apos;s</title>

<![CDATA[<p><em>Exotic seafood dinners prove popular as a Valentine's Day gift among couples.</em></p>

<p>Harrisburg, PA (PRWEB) January 20, 2006 -- Move over box chocolates and cut flowers. There's a new trend in gift giving and it's not the usual sugar overdose or floral arrangement.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>"Busy, professional couples are opting to stay home and celebrate Valentine's with a movie and a great meal," reports Curt Engle, president of Harbour House Crabs. According to Engle, sales of their "Dinner for Two" selection of Maryland Blue Crabs, jumbo shrimp and crab cakes have more than doubled over last year's Valentine's season. "Experts talk about the nesting effect and I think the idea of sharing an intimate meal and staying home for the night has a lot of appeal right now."</p>

<p>Whatever the reason, Engle is more than happy to supply love birds with all the essentials needed for a night in. "We Fed Ex the entire package in chilled stryofoam packaging, and we include mallets, instructions on how to prepare the meal, the whole bit."</p>

<p>For those who do want to venture out, Engle has a "Dinner and a Movie" package that includes two Regal movie tickets and four expresso bean brownies. When asked why crabs were such a popular Valentine's gift, Engle explained it this way. "Unlike other types of meals, eating crabs is an experience. You get to hammer the shell, dunk the crab meat in butter and generally have fun making a mess."</p>

<p>Prices for the combo dinners range anywhere from $69 to $109 with healthy sized portions that comfortably feed two. "We've had a number of celebrities that like to order crabs for special occasions," Engle continued. "Perhaps that's what started the trend." Engle and his crab steaming crew were invited to Wango Tango, a celebrity studded event held in Anaheim, California last year. The group served a number of notables including Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Lopez and The Black Eyed Peas. Harbour House Crabs was also featured in Food & Wine Magazine as well as Real Simple Magazine.</p>

<p>"We like to say that if you really love someone, you'll give them a case of crabs." The idea seems to have gained merit as more and more crabby couples crack, hammer, peel and dip to their heart's content.<br />

<p>About Casa Noble<br />
For many years, our love, pride and passion in producing exceptional Tequila has been demonstrated in Casa Noble's quest for perfection. The result is a unique concept that blends originality in both the superior tequila and their decanters.</p>

<p>Casa Noble ultra premium Tequilas begin as carefully selected individual 10-year-old plants of Blue Agave. Each one must meet the strict requirements for water and sugar content. We slow-cook them for 38 hours in stone ovens. Then, using only the core and hearts of the agaves, we extract their potent juice. The fermentation process is 100% natural, followed by a triple distillation. The result is Tequila so pure and full of agave flavor that it has elevated the concept of tequila to new levels around the world.</p>

When I initially contacted Aqua Distribution my attentions were for something completely different then the results of today. In a matter of a month, Naor Cohen (President of Aqua Distribution) and I were negotiating on rights, working together in Los Angeles, and pitching our brands to celebrities and VIPs in Hollywood. It was bizarre how fast things transpired, but I’m very please with what is happening. I’m elated to say water brought us together, however funny that may sound.” </p>

<p>The partnership between Aquabar (www.aquabar.ws) and Aqua Distribution, Inc. (www.aqua-store.com) will united two distinct companies, while addressing the growing consumer demands for premium waters in North America. In their agreement, Aqua Distribution, Inc. is offering Aquabar exclusivity on select imported brands and a percentage of its client base, while Aquabar is to focus on the promotions and marketing of these brands and distribution within the U.S. As per the agreement, "Aquabar will become a marketing arm for Aqua Store and a distribution gateway, offering easy access to the U.S. market." </p>
