Borowski, who grew up in Beverly Hills, started from the bottom of the kitchen hierarchy when he took a job as a dishwasher in a Lansing-area Italian restaurant in 2008.

It’s been years since I dined at Tom’s Oyster Bar, so when I heard they hired Executive Chef Norman Fenton (who redid the entire menu) I thought it was time to give this place another visit and try their new dishes. To say we were impressed is an understatement, the menu options far exceeded your “typical” seafood dishes and were anything but ordinary!

Turkey may be a Thanksgiving tradition, but Norman Fenton, executive chef of Ale Mary and Tom’s Oyster Bar in Royal Oak, has a bold suggestion this holiday season: Consider roasting pork loin instead.

Fenton made a brioche-stuffed pork loin at Wednesday’s Dish & Design, presented by Homestyle at EuroAmerica Design in Troy. He served it over a roasted sweet potato puree with a special cranberry sauce (his secret ingredient: blueberries).

A new menu debuts today at Tom’s Oyster Bar in Royal Oak, where recently arrived executive chef Norman Fenton has set out to upgrade and modernize everything in the house — even Tom’s traditional New England clam chowder.

NEW MENUS

Worth revisiting are the redeveloped 

menus at Ale Mary’s & Tom’s Oyster 

Bar in Royal Oak, where executive chef 

Norman Fenton is making big moves 

after coming on board this summer. 

Some of the highlights include...

including the lupe de mer — "oven-roasted sea bass, elegantly presented in a big white bowl topped with a subtle tomato-olive mixture, a scattering of capers and pickled wax beans, a market-priced dish and one that wouldn't be out of place in any of the area's upscale restaurants."

We’ll also offer tips on setting up a festive holiday table, cooking new fun holiday recipes, and what wine to pair with those dishes.

Appetizers also will be provided courtesy of Ale Mary’s Craft Beer Hall in Royal Oak and wine from Tom’s Oyster Bar.
