Colicchio protein controls new joint

Tom Colicchio’s new Bridgehampton restaurant, Topping Rose House, still doesn’t have an official opening date, but he assures us it will be soon. “Sometime in September,” the celebrity chef told us at United Way’s What’s on the Table at Bruce and Avis
Richards’ Southampton home on Saturday. “There will be protein, but instead of serving a 12-ounce steak it will be, maybe, a smaller portion with more vegetables,” he said of the menu. “Everything at the source is antibiotic-free, hormone-free, and it’s pricier. But especially out here and especially in summer, produce is amazing, and I want to take advantage of it.” Jon Bon Jovi, Katie Lee and Hilary Rhoda also attended the event.
