A French chef and winner of multiple James Beard Awards, Boulud owns numerous eateries throughout the world. His restaurants in New York City have received a total of four Michelin stars.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After working for Boulud, Frese moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he ran a Spanish tapas restaurant.

I want to make it a fun, energetic place. I want you to feel that when you walk in the door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frese\u2019s kitchen staff will include sous chef Grayson Spittler and pastry chef Julia Aiello, both of whom worked with him at the Roosevelt Room.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a great crew, and Julia\u2019s pastries are really truly amazing. She\u2019s phenomenal,\u201d he said. \u201cJulia is known for her pavlovas (a type of meringue dessert), and she\u2019s going to do a cocoa dusted pavlova with a sour cherry compote.

There\u2019s a Spanish chopped salad and a filet mignon with Bordelaise sauce, fondant potatoes, a shallot marmalade, and blue cheese frites. The raw bar outside will also have some of my staples\u2014my Wagyu hot dogs and tuna rice bites.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frese also plans to re-introduce some popular Siro\u2019s menu items of the past including the lobster tortilla.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will also continue to do an awesome veal chop, and I\u2019m going to do it with a cherry pepper sauce. We\u2019re also going to have some really nice cuts of steak (from Allen Brothers), and we\u2019re talking about bringing in a Wagyu tomahawk for two,\u201d he said, noting that particular attention will be paid to beautiful plating. \u201cWe will also have a Siro\u2019s sushi roll, and a really nice sea bass with a sweet corn emulsion, lobster and some summer truffles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The menu will also include squid ink fungilli pasta with uni butter and shrimp as well as Frese\u2019s favorite childhood dish&#8212;sausage and broccoli rabe in a white wine garlic sauce served over homemade cavatelli pasta.<\/p>\n<p>After the Siro\u2019s eight-week season ends, Frese will decide what is next for him in his career.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, I\u2019m super excited and grateful to be here,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m taking it day by day and keeping my options open, but I would like to open my own place.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Christine Graf Siro\u2019s in Saratoga opened for the season on July 10 with a new executive chef, Albany native Noah Frese.
