You may recall this is where Adrienne and I spent the first week of our time out East, and where we discovered a nice little restaurant called The Reservoir. We&#8217;ve <a href=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/2008\/08\/11\/mini-vacation-in-review\/\" target=\"_self\">made a point of visiting the restaurant every now and then<\/a> (and even brought some of you with us), both for the good eats and good memories. Last night we broke tradition and under the advice of a co-worker, ordered the Chicken Murphy, along with the Tony Salad for One (it&#8217;s big enought for two) and a side of sauteed spinach. Turns out Chicken Murphy is large pieces of chicken, somewhat breaded and cooked along with our choice of medium-spicy peppers and lots of mushrooms in some sort of broth, topped with thick-sliced fried potatoes. Interesting, and very tasty. Which is a good thing, because we have lots of leftovers!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_771\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/dsc_2138_2.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-771\" data-attachment-id=\"771\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/2009\/01\/31\/chicken-murphy-at-the-reservoir\/dsc_2138_2\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/dsc_2138_2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,531\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D90&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1233358896&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;16&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.04&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"dsc_2138_2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Chicken Murphy at The Reservoir in South Orange, NJ&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/dsc_2138_2-300x199.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/dsc_2138_2-600x398.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-771\" title=\"dsc_2138_2\" src=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/dsc_2138_2-600x398.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken Murphy at The Reservoir in South Orange, NJ\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/dsc_2138_2-600x398.jpg 600w, http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/dsc_2138_2-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/dsc_2138_2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-771\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chicken Murphy at The Reservoir in South Orange, NJ<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By the way, if you want to hear the music we heard last night, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wnyc.org\/shows\/eveningmusic\/episodes\/2009\/01\/31\" target=\"_blank\">WNYC is broadcasting live the same concert from Carnegie Hall tonight at 8pm EST<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I scored some complimentary tickets to see the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and Anoushka Shankar (daughter or Ravi, half-sister of Nora Jones) play in one of our favorite near-Jersey suburbs, South Orange.
