Ferrante- Jazz, Friday June 29
Felix & the Cats was formed by Felix Endico who has studied with the likes of “Wild Bill Davis”, the Duke Ellignton musician and arranger of the Count Basie classic “April in Paris”. He also has had the honor of sitting in with Erskine Hawkin’s band, of “Tuxedo Junction” fame and the last to play the Savoy Ballroom. Felix has also been influenced by both R&B legend Jimmy “Preacher” Robins as well as Red Blazer regular Sol Yaged (“The Benny Goodman Clone”). Needless to say these influences have been incorporated into the Cats’ repertoire that is guaranteed to delight.
Reservations are highly recommended as tables are limited. We look forward to see you on Friday, June 29.

Statement
Stamford has become my home since 2008; it inspires me and energizes me.
One finds history, innovation, and technology here. Those who know me, know that I prefer walking through town than riding a car and when I walk my eyes feast on points of interest which I try to capture in my paintings and drawings. My paintings are not a literal recording of what I see but are an atmospheric impression of what I feel about what I am documenting. I express my feelings through line, color, and texture. This collection of work is a tribute to the city of Stamford and its people, and also a thank you to Stamford for making me feel welcomed.

Morton's Steakhouse - Favorite Dish - Morton’s “Million-Dollar” Hamburger
Morton’s “Million-Dollar” Hamburger, one of their restaurant's favorite dish. Check it out below.
Years ago, before Arnie Morton and Klaus Fritsch really knew one another, they both worked at the Playboy club in
Serves 6
4 pounds coarse-grind ground sirloin
4 large eggs
¾ cup tomato juice
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 large hamburger buns
3 tablespoons clarified butter
Six ½ – inch thick slices tomato
Six ¼- inch thick slices Spanish onion
6 large leaves iceberg lettuce
Ketchup or another topping, for serving
1. Preheat the broiler. Lightly oil and position the rack as close to the heat source as possible.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sirloin, eggs, tomato juice, salt and pepper. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix thoroughly. Divide the meat into six equal portions and gently form them into patties. Transfer to the broiler pan, and using a small sharp knife, make a crosshatch mark on the top of each burger about 1/8 inch deep. (This lets the juices percolate through the burger, and we also like the way it looks.)
3. Brush the inside of each bun with the butter. Toast the buns in the broiler for about 30 seconds on each side, or until lightly browned; be careful that the buns don’t get too browned. Remove the buns and cover to keep warm. Reposition the broiler tray so that it is about 6 inches from the heat.
4. Broil the burgers for 3 to 3 ½ minutes on each side for rare, 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare and 4 ½ to 5 minutes on each side for medium.
5. To serve, put the bottom half of each bun on a plate. Top with a burger and then a tomato slice, onion slice and lettuce leaf. Add the top of the bun. Repeat to make five more burgers. Serve with ketchup, if desired. At the restaurant, we offer ketchup, sautéed mushrooms, sautéed onions, and cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Swiss and Blue Cheese are the most popular).
