East Hampton’s Florence “Flo Fab” Fabricant mentioned Chef Arie Pavlou’s newly-opened Bistro Été, in the former Robert’s restaurant space in Water Mill, in The New York Times last week. Of course you read about it in Dan’s Papers first. And have you read Pavlou’s book? It’s not a cookbook, but it sizzles! Read a review of The Congressman’s Wife here.
