Town Officials Approve Outdoor Location for Walk-In Fridge at Silvermine Market (Expanded Menu To Follow)
|
Town officials on Monday approved a request from the owner of Silvermine Market to locate a new walk-in refrigerator permanently outside his 1895 building, freeing up more kitchen space inside for a soon-to-expand menu. Noting the narrow lot at 1032 Silvermine Road and saying that the market has coexisted with the Silvermine Arts Guild next-door for many decades, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted 5-0 in favor of granting a variance (which was needed because the walk-in unit is located within a side yard setback). The market’s owner for nearly 10 years, Lou Aloupis, said that following an approximately $25,000 interior renovation, the kitchen has a new hood, grill and pizza oven. He and Chef Scott Kaluczky are perfecting their homemade Neapolitan pizza-making process now and plan to offer it on their menu after Labor Day, and also will add freshly grilled burgers and hot dogs after September, Aloupis said. Silvermine Market customers “are all excited,” he said Tuesday afternoon during the lunch rush.
