Give to the Rogovoy Report, Enjoy a Free Dinner for Two at Castle Street Café

Castle Street Cafe(GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass., January 3, 2014) – Castle Street Café is offering the opportunity for contributors to the Rogovoy Report to enjoy a free dinner for two – with the option to dine with Seth Rogovoy — as a way to thank the community for its support of the Rogovoy Report’s curated e-newsletters and online stories it provides free to all.

For every $10 contribution made to the Rogovoy Report in the month of January 2014, participants will be enrolled in this thank-you giveaway program (every $10 increment counts toward another chance to win, e.g., $50 = 5 chances to win). Four contributors will be selected randomly at the end of the month to receive a $100 gift certificate good for dinner at chef-owner Michael Ballon’s popular establishment, which emphasizes locally grown ingredients. (N.B. Alcohol and gratuities are not included.) Those selected may choose the option to have Seth Rogovoy accompany them for dinner at Castle Street.

All contributions made to the Rogovoy Report in the month of January 2014 will count toward the thank-you giveaway. No other enrollment is necessary. To contribute, please go to the Rogovoy Report and click on the PayPal “Donate” button in the right-hand panel. (Recurring payments made in January will be counted – another advantage of setting up monthly recurring payments to the Rogovoy Report.)

Castle Street Café is located at 10 Castle Street in Great Barrington, right next door to the Mahaiwe Theatre.

Michael BallonFor nearly a quarter-century, Castle Street Café has been a favorite of locals and visitors alike. The restaurant, which has sourced its menu extensively from local farms and purveyors since long before “farm-to-table” became a buzzword, has garnered praise and critical acclaim from media outlets ranging from the New York Times and the Boston Globe to Food & Wine and Wine Spectator as well as Yankee Magazine and Rural Intelligence. Castle Street offers two menus – a dinner menu and a pub menu served in its Celestial Bar, which features live jazz several nights a week. Chef Michael Ballon is the author of the Castle Street Café cookbook; his columns appear in several local publications; and he is a frequent guest on WAMC Northeast Public Radio.

The commitment to local products and service is evident in the dining experience at Castle Street Café, as well as in Michael Ballon’s generous offer to reward contributors to the Rogovoy Report with the bounty of his kitchen.
