Visit These New England Spots For Caviar Indulgence

Forbes5 days ago
Caviar has been making inroads at restaurants for years now, as an indulgence that doesn't have to break the bank. I love it on everything from raw oysters to Twinkies (don't judge until you've tried it), and I think every day should be National Caviar Day, so read on for a few special spots to get your fix.
Make a meal of caviar at The Banks Seafood & Steak happy hour. The Banks
Happy hour Caviar Menu? Yes please! Served daily from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., it includes a rotating selection of $2 oysters that can be topped with caviar for an extra $5 per; as well as a Caviar Spoon, and everything from Ora King Salmon Tartare Cones to truffle fries, all topped with Osetra.
For a perfect bar snack, order a couple of Chef David Standridge's beet-pickled deviled eggs –with the caviar bump add-on of course. Topped with a crispy clam strip and local fluke crudo, they are as gorgeous to look at as they are to eat.
You can take your caviar experience to go at Lucky Cheetah. Lucky Cheetah
At this upscale underground dumpling lounge, you can order a Caviar Tower, which includes 30 grams of Imperial Amur, accompanied by brown butter blini, lotus root, and crème fraîche. Or if you are more of a dabbler than a caviar fiend, you can order just the Caviar Tin Add-On, which includes 12 grams of caviar from local expert Browne Trading Company, fried lotus root and crème fraiche. Whichever one you choose, slather it on everything at this fun luxe spot– especially the Iberico pork soup dumplings. My only regret is that we didn't save any for our dessert course – I think caviar would have been divine on the coconut cake.
Lucky Cheetah also offers a luxury at-home experience with their Caviar To-Go Box in partnership with Browne Trading, featuring 30 grams of premium Giaveri Siberian Caviar and a mother of pearl spoon, along with a split of Moët & Chandon Brut Champagne and two bags of potato chips to top with caviar. Oh, and a selection of handmade chocolates from Len Libby Candies in Scarborough, Maine. While I've never put caviar on chocolate, I'll try anything once.
A mini caviar roll hits all the right notes at Saltie Girl. Saltie Girl Saltie Girl, Boston
At this emporium to tinned fish, the caviar menu is vast and interesting. Caviar service comes with latkes, toast points, everything bun, crème fraiche, diced shallots, egg whites, egg yolks, and chives. But beyond that, you can enjoy their signature Mini Caviar Roll served on buttered brioche, Caviar Dip made with crème fraîche and served with house sea-salt potato chips, a Latke Waffle topped with caviar, or even burrata and caviar — another indulgence I've never tried but am longing for. Persimmon, Providence, Rhode Island
Want a pure mouthful of the sea? It's layer-upon-layer-upon-layer of umami in Chef Champe Speidel's raw bar speciality: a Rhode Island oyster topped with Maine sea urchin, caviar and a tomato 'ponzu' sauce.

Sofía Vergara undergoes second knee surgery, posts recovery photos on social media

Sofía Vergara shared a health update with fans. The 53-year-old "Modern Family" actress posted photos of herself in the hospital in a July 25 Instagram post, sharing that she had undergone a second knee surgery, although she didn't share the reason behind the operations. "Its done! Round 2 🙏🏼❤️❤️#knee," she captioned the post. One of the photos featured a makeup-free selfie of Vergara on a hospital bed, resting her cheek on her hand as she smiled for the camera while dressed in a hospital gown. The second photo showed Vergara's right leg, which showed a bandage taped on the side of her knee and a brace wrapped around her shin. Many of Vergara's famous friends wished her well in the comments section, including her "America's Got Talent" co-star, Terry Crews, who wrote, "❤️❤️❤️ proud of you!" Lauren Sánchez Bezos also commented, writing "Sending you ❤️" while Patrick Schwarzenegger wrote, "Wishing you speedy recovery !!!!" This is not the first time the "Griselda" star has needed an operation on her knee. She previously shared with her followers on Instagram stories in April 2024 that she had gone through surgery, assuring fans she was in safe hands. "If u ever get a [major] knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night... !" she wrote at the time, adding "Luv u." Vergara was referring to her boyfriend at the time, orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman, whom she dated for over a year before announcing they had split in January 2025. Following her breakup from Saliman, Vergara sparked romance rumors with retired football player, Tom Brady. The two were photographed together while on the Ritz-Carlton yacht during a star-studded European voyage. In the photo, Vergara can be seen posing with her eyes closed as singer J Balvin kisses the top of her head, while Brady smiled at the camera as he sat next to the actress. The pair have reportedly been spending time together in Ibiza, Spain, as a source described the situation as a "summer romance," according to Page Six. "He asked to switch seats to sit next to her at dinner," a source told the media outlet.

Adam Silverman: LACMA's Seeds and Weeds are Ceramic Art

LACMA Seeds and Weeds, Installation view, Los Angeles, 2025, Ceramics has long oscillated between the functional and the artistic. California has a long tradition of makers who span the chasm between the two, from Beatrice Wood to Jonathan Adler. Among the LA ceramic artists who began making functional pottery and who, in the last decades, migrated to increasingly conceptual artworks is Adam Silverman, who has a show of new work, LACMA Seeds and Weeds, at BLUM in LA on view until August 16, 2025. (BLUM recently announced they will be closing the gallery, so see this while you can). Silverman's early background was in architecture, and he takes special care in how his work is displayed. In the Blum galleries, Silverman has grouped certain pieces that take on additional totemic power together, as well as individual pieces that stand out, positioned around the room, on the floor, on a platform, or on a shelf. Silverman's placement of his work is akin to how a Zen gardener places his rocks, contextualizing the work as worthy of contemplation. Silverman was the 2024 artist in residence at the Skirball Cultural Center, where he showcased his installation Common Ground, a conceptual work for which Silverman collected clay, water, and wood ash from all fifty American states, as well as from Washington DC, and the US Territories of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands to make the glazes. The final exhibition includes a tableware set of fifty-six plates, fifty-six bowls, fifty-six cups, as well as fifty-six ceremonial pots. For his exhibition at Blum, Silverman has spent the last five and a half years collecting materials from the LACMA demolition, which he refers to as the 'oozing, living history of the city.' Silverman used the materials to make the glazes; he also would blow matter into the kiln while it's superhot in a manner that affects the surfaces of the pottery. Finally, actual demolition debris was incorporated into the pieces. The total effect does not say LACMA, but rather speaks to the primordial location, sitting as it does near the Tar Pits. LACMA Seeds and Weeds, Installation view, Los Angeles, 2025. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Some of the works grouped together, which Silverman calls 'seeds,' look like fossilized dinosaur eggs that have bubbled up from the tar pits. Silverman calls other works on display, 'weeds,' as if they sprung from the seeds. Some of the works recall ancient amphora, others are objects that emanate a certain ancient power as if used once for ritual or commemorative reasons. The borders between ceramics, sculpture and painting are increasingly porous. At one end of the spectrum are participants in the 'Maker' culture a DYI aesthetic powered by the lowering of barriers to entry for object making. At the other end are artists engaging with ancient mediums whose possibilities have been enhanced by technology. Silverman's works speak to place, time, history, and our emotional connection to the objects derived from specific sites. The source of Silverman's site-specific additives is not apparent when you look at the works. Yet they do add a conceptual and metaphorical dimension that enhances our connection to the work. Silverman's ceramics both delight us and haunt us because we know they are man-made and yet contain primordial history.
