Jockey Hollow (Morristown)
The Jockey Hollow compound, which is housed in the Vail Mansion, which was originally home to an early AT&T president, combines numerous culinary ideas into one. The Oyster Bar is a casual brasserie; The Washington Room is a more premium dining choice with a tasting menu; The Vail Bar is a cocktail bar; and The Rathskeller is a beer hall and event venue all in one. The long reflecting pool, gorgeous marble building, and meticulously kept grounds will transport you in a way few restaurants can, whether you're stopping by for a plate of oysters, an exceptional burger, or a five-course tasting menu.
They are so trained as a nation to buy the same items all of the time, to frequent stores and restaurants that all look the same. A dining room at a New York mall may just as well be in Dubai. Across the country, restaurateurs are attempting to establish businesses that can be copied 400 times. A lot of what they do at Jockey Hollow is a statement against homogeneity and mass culture.
They have witnessed more erosion of artisanal culture in my 58 years on this planet than at any previous moment in history. When done well, the restaurant industry is one of the few remaining authentic outlets for artisanal production. They not only prepare your cuisine to your requirements, but they also select only the cleanest and most sustainable materials for their menu and wine list. Their dedication also aids in the support and sustainability of the small farmers, winemakers, cheesemakers, craft brewers, and distillers who make their world unique.
