The Man of Montauk

Gabriele has been hired as the executive chef at the Montauk Yacht Club on the southern tip of Long Island. He's there to check on things - make sure the dishes are being made to his specifications, reconnect with the line chefs and maybe make a few tweaks to the menu. The rest of the family is happy to be out of the city and, while they're there, visit good friends Tony Bourdain and his wife Ottavia. The restaurant is doing well but could use a lighter dish in the heat of the summer. Gabriele goes fishing to get inspired, catches some stripped bass and comes up with something great. Later, at Tony's, Gabriele prepares tuna tartar with basil, lobster arrabiata and a delicious caipirinha cocktail to cool off. Tony, a chef himself, Ottavia and Debi all love the food. Gabriele really is the man, when it comes to Montauk.
