Beginning June 19th, John Clarke will be performing at Route 7 Grill on Fridays from 5-8pm. Throughout the summer, he’ll be joined by different friends and musicians, including local favorites Adam Post, John Roberts, Ben Schworm, Rob Sanzone, and Lisa Anderson. Please come for dinner, stay a while, and listen.

John Clarke is relatively new to the Berkshires, but has been a regular at Club Helsinki over the past year. As a solo performer and as frontman in ever-changing bands, his singing continues to attract attention. John has played his own songs under the names johns’ train and prodigal sunshine, and has been a favorite at Helsinki’s Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen tributes. His song "you" won second place in Helsinki’s first ever song-writing competition. John’s style of singing brings a sense of immediacy to his songs, making even covers of classic favorites seem like his own.

We’re thrilled to be part of The 2008 Saveur 100... #10.
Not bad for under two years old!
#10 Whey Good
We’re suckers for swine, but there’s one variety that really has us in its thrall: WHEY-FED PORK. The rich flavor and tender texture of meat from hogs whose diets are supplemented with whey – a nutritious, liquid byproduct of the cheese-making process – may seem like the latest trend in boutique meats (chefs like Dan Barber of New York’s Blue Hill restaurants and John Besh of Restaurant August in New Orleans serve it), but the practice of feeding pigs whey has long been prevalent in areas where pork and cheese are produced in close proximity. The animals enjoy the taste, and whey’s slightly acidic, lactic base gives their flesh a nutty, velvety quality. For down-home dishes cooked with whey-fed pork, we visit the Route 7 Grill, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, which cures, smokes, spit-roasts, and grills pork from pigs that have been fed whey from the nearby Berkshire Cheese Makers.

We got a mention as one of “America’s Best ‘Farm To Table’ Restaurants” in Gourmet magazine!
Route 7 Grill is not the kind of restaurant that prints the chef’s name on the menu. It’s a big barn of a place serving barbecue, burgers, and fried chicken—homey, simple stuff. What sets it apart is that most of its meat comes from local farmers, as do most of its vegetables. “This,” says owner Lester Blumenthal, “is the bridge between the small farm and the common guy’s mouth.”
