			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Uncasville, CT (November 18, 2009) – <strong>Bobby Flay</strong>, celebrated chef, restaurateur, television personality and cookbook author, opens <strong>Bar Americain</strong> today at Mohegan Sun.  Conveniently located off the hotel lobby, the 276-seat restaurant celebrates America’s diverse culinary heritage, inspired by Bobby’s extensive travels throughout the country.  His decidedly American menu is mirrored by the energetic fast pace of the time-honored European brasserie.</p>
<p>“I’m thrilled to introduce Bar Americain to Mohegan Sun,” says Bobby.  “Here I’ll celebrate the vast culinary traditions found in the US while also featuring dishes that showcase the wealth of ingredients and traditions of New England and, given our location, that of the Native American culture.”</p>
<p>This is Bobby’s 10th restaurant in operation and his second Bar Americain; the first opened in New York City in March of 2005, receiving rave reviews including two-stars from The New York Times. Today, Bar Americain continues to be an essential mainstay in Manhattan’s dining landscape. </p>
<p>“We  are  extremely  excited  to have Bar Americain as part of our culinary roster, and are proud that Bobby Flay has chosen Mohegan Sun to be the site of  his  first   fine dining venture in  the New England market,” says Lynn Malerba, Chairwoman for the Mohegan Tribe. “ There is no doubt that this is a  perfect match of one of America&#8217;s great Chefs and one of America&#8217;s  most amazing  entertainment  destinations,”  added Mitchell Etess, President and Chief Executive Officer for Mohegan Sun.</p>
<p>With a menu that ranges from spiced-up starters such as <em>Shrimp-Tomatillo</em>, <em>Crab-Coco</em>nut and <em>Lobster-Avocado Shellfish Cocktails</em> to ‘gotta have’ sides like <em>Hot Potato Chips</em> with <em>Blue Cheese Sauce</em>, <em>Creamed Kale</em> and <em>Brooklyn Hash Browns</em>, American regional fare never sounded, looked and tasted so good.  Bobby takes his cues from the bounty of local New England ingredients, introducing new menu items inspired by the region and of Native American tradition with dishes such as <em>Crispy Connecticut Oysters</em> with <em>Crème Fraiche Chowder</em> and <em>Bacon Relish</em> as well as a <em>Native American Taco</em> with <em>BBQ Duck, Cranberry</em> and<em> Red Chile</em>.</p>
<p>Bobby’s true commitment to the foods of this nation are represented in entrées such as his <em>Buttermilk Fried Chicken</em> with <em>Honey and Pink Peppercorns</em>, <em>Lime and Black Pepper Biscuits</em> and Red Snapper, <em>Florida Style</em>. <em>Fulton Fish Market Cioppino</em> served with traditional <em>Sour Dough Toast</em> is Bobby’s hometown version of the San Francisco favorite.  Creole-inspired <em>Duck with Dirty Wild Rice &amp; Pecans</em> pays homage to the great food city, New Orleans. </p>
<p>And brasserie standards &#8211; <em>Shellfish Platters</em>, <em>Mussels &amp; Fries Americain</em> with a <em>Green Chile Broth</em> as well as a <em>Vidalia Onion Soup</em> with a <em>Parker House Crouton</em> and <em>Blistered Vermont Cheddar Cheese</em> &#8211; are anything but standard when prepared Bobby Flay-style. </p>
<p>Bobby’s affinity for the classics continues with a dessert menu he created including favorites such as <em>Sweet Potato Pie</em> with <em>Graham Crackers</em> and <em>Cinnamon Ice Cream</em>; <em>Blackberry Soufflé</em>; <em>German’s Chocolate Cake</em> with <em>Coconut Whipped Cream</em>; <em>Granny Smith Apple Tart with Maple Walnut Ice Cream</em> and <em>Deep Dish Chocolate Cream Pie</em>.</p>
<p>The cocktail program reflects Bar Americain’s commitment to all things American including an extensive list of Bourbons, a favored spirit of Bobby’s. Designed by partner Laurence Kretchmer, the rotating menu of classics includes such standards as the <em>Bronx Cocktail</em>, <em>Americano Highball</em>, and <em>Dark &amp; Stormy</em>. In the one move away from all things American, the wine list will feature a vast selection from around the world. </p>
<p>Acclaimed architect, David Rockwell of the Rockwell Group marries the design of the original Bar Americain in New York City with the energetic pace of Mohegan Sun, infusing even more movement, boldness and craftsmanship to the re-envisioned American brasserie. At 11,500 square feet, the façade of the restaurant will face the hotel lobby, Casino of the Sky, and Taughannick Falls. Handcrafted in Paris, Bar Americain&#8217;s memorable zinc-top 16-seat bar will warmly welcome both restaurant and hotel guests as they enter the restaurant via the colorful marble tile floor. The once-standard brasserie tiled floor takes on new life at Bar Americain in a diamond pattern of gold, pumpkin, charcoal and white marble. Other design elements are consistent with the original including a prominent hand-carved African Mahogany screen made by local artisans and several custom glass, wood and metal wine towers found throughout the space. Warm, rich woods set the scene, punctuated with familiar fabric and zinc light fixtures floating high above the curved “Hollywood” banquettes. The backdrop of the dinning room features a large exposed Raw Bar, highlighting a bounty of seafood from New England and beyond. </p>
<p>Bar Americain is Bobby’s second venture at Mohegan Sun; he opened his fourth Bobby’s Burger Palace (BBP) on July 1, 2009 during the re-opening of the Winter Entrance. At BBP, Bobby presents an array of burgers inspired by America’s regional flavors and traditions as well as his love for the grill.</p>
<p>Bar Americain’s bar and lounge, conveniently located off the hotel lobby, is open seven days a week from 11:00AM until close.  The restaurant is open for dinner Sunday through Thursday from 5:00pm until 11:00pm and Friday and Saturday from 5:00pm until midnight.</p>

<p> In addition to weekly tournaments, Mohegan Sun offers daily tournaments that range from $50.00 to $200.00 buy-ins. Players are reminded that Player’s Club points can be used for daily and weekly tournaments and to register early due to limited seating.</p>
<p align="center"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Sit-N-Go</span></p>

Players can participate in one of Mohegan Sun’s “Bounty” or “Survivor” Single-Game tournaments. All tournaments take place daily.</p>
<p align="center"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Fall Showdown</span></p>

<p>Todd English’s Tuscany has made some tasty additions for their fall menu with the freshest ingredients and foods of the season.  From <strong>Tortelli of Butternut Squash</strong> and <strong>Striped Bass en Cartoccio</strong> to <strong>Bisteca alla Fiorentina</strong>, this fall’s offerings showcase autumn’s favorite flavors.</p>
<p>Over 10 new dishes and appetizers have been added to the menu, including; <strong>Cavatelli</strong>,  an Eggplant Pasta dish with fresh Capers, Raisins and Pine Nuts;  <strong>Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken</strong> with Grilled Shrimp, Cheddar Polenta and Onion Relish; <strong>Lobster  Carbonara</strong> served with a 2 ½ pound Lobster with Carrot Nage and Carbonara Risotto.</p>
<p>For the full menu, visit <a href="http://www.mohegansun.com/dining">mohegansun.com/dining</a>.</p>
<p>James Klewin’s <strong>Tortelli of Butternut Squash</strong>, a savory and sweet new offering fresh with Prosciutto, Sage and Brown Butter, is also on the menu.  Try it in the restaurant or at home with Restaurant Chef James Klewin’s recipe.  </p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Tortelli of Butternut Squash</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><span style="text-decoration: underline">For the Tortelli Filling</span><br />
2 tablespoons unsalted butter<br />
5-6 cups diced and peeled butternut squash<br />
1/2 cup ground amaretti cookies<br />
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs<br />
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese<br />
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
1 tablespoon fresh sage</p>
<p>Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and add squash. Cook until the squash is just beginning to caramelize (about ten minutes). Add water to cover and cook until tender for about twenty minutes and drain. Place the squash and remaining ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">For The Dough</span><br />
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour<br />
1 teaspoon kosher salt<br />
5 large eggs<br />
Semolina for sprinkling</p>
<p>Flour large cutting board or work surface. Place two cups of flour along with salt on board and make a wide well in the middle. Place the eggs and yolks in the well. With a fork, follow the perimeter of the well and bring in small amounts of flour. Continue until most of the flour is absorbed. If the dough is too wet, add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Divide the dough into two pieces, put through the pasta machine, folding in halves each time and repeating fifteen to twenty times to knead the dough. Continue, gradually decreasing the number on the machine until the dough is paper thin.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Tortelli Assembly</span><br />
1 batch butternut filling<br />
1 batch pasta dough</p>
<p>Cut pasta into 4-inch squares making about forty squares. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of each square. Lightly brush edges of the dough with water. Fold the pasta over, corner to corner, forming a triangle and press edges to seal. Place on a sheet tray sprinkled with Semolina.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">To Finish<br />
</span>1 cup unsalted butter<br />
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage<br />
1 large pot salted water<br />
Salt and pepper to taste</p>
<p>In a pan, melt butter over medium heat until it browns and begins to foam. Add sage and season to taste. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add Tortelli in batches so water never stops boiling. Cook until tender (about three minutes). Toss the pasta with butter and serve. The dish will serve approximately four to five people as an entrée and seven to eight people as an appetizer.</p>
