It's been a rockin' year for Saul Bolton: The Brooklyn restaurant pioneer celebrated the 10th anniversary of his landmark Saul Restaurant in August, and two months later the Times followed up with a glowing two-star review. Now, Bolton has teamed up with Num Pang's Ben Daitz to open The Vanderbilt in Prospect Heights. The pub-grub spot features savory bites like boudin blanc, duck rillette and grilled octopus, which can be washed down with growlers of beer and chased with homemade jelly donuts. "Contemporary small plates, but with larger portions," is how he describes the menu, which tops out at $16, and adds that for him "it's a change of scenery. It's much more casual and it's cheaper. I'm psyched." We are, too.
