Leader lunches Parents share new lunch ideas, recipes
By Christina Martinez
christina@theleadernews. com
By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com It’s comforting to know that even restauranteurs experience the school lunch dilemma. Brina D’Amico of D’Amico’s Italian Market Café said that even though her girls all like different things they can all agree on Genoa salami and pasta in their lunches. She’s also a big fan of turkey rollups on tortillas, with cheese. Fresh fruit, veggies and water instead of juice are also staples, but she also allows for a little cheating. “Of course they love junk food as much as the next kid – and me,” she said. “They certainly get fruit snacks, cookies or chips.” One of her specialties is chicken nuggets from scratch. “My middle child has an egg allergy so I have found that coating the chicken pieces in sour cream works as a binder,” she said.
get soggy that way. I roll these up and cut them into smaller pinwheels or at least in half.” Other than that, she adds some type of fruit every day, and once in a while she’ll go to the trouble of making ants on a log with celery, peanut butter, and raisins or dried cranberries – otherwise known as Fire ants. Angela Pennington’s plan this year is to make weekly batches of tortilla rolls. “Just meat and cheese, or chicken with pesto – and freeze,” she said. “By lunch time they will thaw and still be nice and cold, and your mornings are easy.” Thanks to her mandolin slicer, Pennington sends thin slices of Granny Smith apples sprinkled with cinnamon, too. Megan Rasmussen’s kids also like the tortilla rollups. Rasmussen sends crackers with meat and cheese too that they can assemble themselves. “My oldest has also been known to take raw okra with blue cheese dressing to dip it in, but I know that isn’t normal,” she jokes.
D’Amico shares her recipe with Leader readers below. Leader parents also chimed in on what they serve their kids when regular sandwiches run their course. Reader Laurie Pitzer says that the toaster oven is her friend. “I’ll often lay a tortilla out, top it with cheese and leftover chicken or pieces of lunch meat,” she said. “If I have fresh spinach, I chop some up and throw it on top, or I’ll add black beans. I just put it on toast until the cheese melts. Then I either fold it in half or add a tortilla on top and cut it into fourths (or halves). I usually wrap it in foil, hoping it will stay fairly warm.” She’s also done the same thing with tortillas, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese. “I will add a side of marinara or left over spaghetti sauce for dipping,” she said. “We’ve discovered it doesn’t

Lori Araiza sometimes includes make your own tacos, with shredded chicken, small tortillas and salsa/shredded cheese. “My kids also love chicken salad with crackers,” she said. Like Brina D’Amico, Araiza touts the simple pasta salad, with Italian dressing, small pepperonis and shredded parmesan cheese, along with crackers, carrots, grapes. A thermos is a key item for many parents. “My kids won’t eat sandwiches so it is a pre-warmed meal in a thermos every day for them,” said Laura Hatem. “Chicken noodle soup, spaghetti, chili and more, including leftovers are usually in rotation.” She and Laurie Pitzer both recommend the Thermos brand which they say is leak proof and lasts forever. “Expensive, but worth it,” said Pitzer. Araiza said that she sometimes uses recycled water or juice turn top bottles as a thermos – “only way to feel secure that they won’t leak,” she said.
medium heat until golden brown. Flip once. •Add additional oil as needed for each batch of frying. •Remove nuggets from pan and allow to drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. •Once cooled, I usually place them in a large zip lock bag, lay the bag flat (so they don’t stick to one another) and freeze. For lunches I put a few in the refrigerator the night before and pop in the microwave in the morning to get the chill off.
Cavatore Italian Restaurant ready for football season For The Leader With Cavatore now offering gourmet pizzas, the Italian restaurant is now ready to welcome in the wagons for the upcoming football and sports seasons. “Our facility would enjoy for the local high school sport teams to have film viewing parties in one of our semi-private dining rooms,” event coordinator Hayley Huckleberry said. “Cavatore offers catering to Houston and most of the surrounding areas, as well as delivery to the Greater Heights area. If a film viewing party has piqued your interest these are a couple of options Cavatore’s suggest: -Buffet style dining with three different pasta options to choose from. -Pizza party style, where you choose 15 preselected pizzas and they serve them to each
table. -Delivery of 30 pizzas to the location that you are viewing sport films before game. Parties at Cavatore are not subject to just High School sports teams. Local high school teams are welcome, as well as sports fanatics. If you plan on having a big game watch party, Cavatore is ready for all sports fans alike or your next dinner with the family. Film viewing parties are welcomed Monday through Thursday evenings. Contact Hayley Hacker for more information and to book your next party. High School film parties will not require a deposit. Contact Hayley at 713-8696622. Cavatore is located at 2120 Ella Blvd.
Mike McElroy has worked in kitchens all across the U.S., but found himself in the right place, at the exact right time. While grilling up steaks for his pop-up at Sassafras, McElroy was also working at Black Hill meats – a family ranch that also specializes in quality meats. Friends and owners of Sassafras had told McElroy that they’d like to host a steak night for their customers. “I thought a steak night would be great and I had access to all of these great meats,” McElroy said. “It really gave me a chance to create my own pop-up with my wife.” Steak night was a hit, but it also was the only time McElroy had his hands in the chef position. When a sous chef position opened up with Paul’s Kitchen, McElroy interviewed with the owner and operator of Gr8 Plate Hospitality, Paul Miller, for a couple of hours. At the end of it, Miller didn’t find a sous chef, but an executive chef for the newest project to the company, The Rolling Kitchen food truck. “When you do a brick and mortar restaurant, if something happens in the community, something changes or there is construction, you just have to deal with what you got,” Miller said. “There’s different marketing ways around it, but after watching the movie ‘Chef ’ and other successful trucks, we thought why not. If it doesn’t go well at the bar you’re at, we can pack up and find the business.” Finding the people is something that excites Miller, but what excited Miller even more than McElroy’s shared vision for a food truck was McElroy’s will to succeed. “He wants to be successful, which means he will be,” Miller said. Before joining the Gr8 Plate hospitality group, McElroy had already started his own research for a food truck and the requirements to get permitted with the city. Miller said the project could have taken over a year, but McElroy got it done faster than anyone ever would have. Miller sees something in
McElroy and has plans for him in his company down the road. “There is a goal to have more than one truck if the truck does well,” Miller said. “We don’t want an over kill, but if the following is there, the goal is to setup a brick and mortar. There’s definitely a goal and timeline. Let’s see how long it takes Mike to Photos by Christina Martinez get there.” At the top, Executive Chef of
The Menu
After running away as a young boy, McElroy found himself working as a dish washer at a young age. He found himself living off of French Fry Poboy’s and other classics that you could find on the streets of New Orleans for a few quarters and dimes. The Rolling Kitchen menu includes the following:

Meet owner of Insomnia Video Game Culture and Vinyl Toys, art show Saturday There is one art medium that I just cannot relate to, it passes my “art radar” by like a speeding train. I can see the “train” but I just can’t make out what all that writing says on the side. In the art world for me, that speeding train is game culture. I can’t ignore it any longer, the Heights has probably the only retail store of its kind in Texas devoted to gaming culture. I went straight to the source, store owner Chris Unclebach to get it straight, once and for all. Unclebach opened Insomnia Video Game Culture & Vinyl Toys four years ago at 724 W. 19th Street, between Shepherd and Durham.

Beyond carrying some pretty unique stuff, I’m definitely most proud of our community involvement and special events. We’ve put on tons of video game tournaments, design contests, charity events, game release parties, meet ups and art shows. We think we’re doing some pretty interesting things in the Heights and love the positive feedback we’ve received.
www.houstondairymaids.com
What kind of art will be showcased at Stay Tooned Saturday?
That’s one of the fun things about this group of artists – there will be a diversity of mediums, styles and content. You’ll probably find lots of prints, buttons, stickers, zines, shirts and some three dimensional or sculptural stuff as well. There are graffiti artists, fan art, pop art, surrealism, lots of stuff. I think there will be something for everyone, truly. And as for the gallery itself, who doesn’t like cartoons?
Did you ever imagine you’d own a retail store for
gamers? Is it like playing “hooky” everyday?

I definitely always envisioned artwork being a part of the store, but not really in this way or to this extent. Having the designer toys from the beginning and being into the art of games is one thing, but putting on large scale group art shows is something that’s only happened in the past year or so. We were thrilled to take over the Monster Show from Domy Books last October and each show has gotten bigger and better. To support and have the support of local artists has been a truly rewarding experience. Now I can’t imagine the store without it.

My background in the gaming world probably isn’t all that unique – I’ve played them since I was a kid and have always enjoyed the artistry behind them. They really encapsulate a lot of creative mediums – the artwork or graphics, story telling, and some of the best original scores produced in the last 30 years. After watching the Houston Symphony perform music from the game Final Fantasy back in 2010, my ex-wife and I left Jones Hall energized and inspired by the crowd and their passion as much as the musical performance itself. It was then that the idea of Insomnia was born.

How did you come up with the idea of starting Insomnia?
I can honestly say I didn’t see this in the cards, haha! I managed Vinal Edge Records (great record store down the street) for 10 years and really wanted to open a record store, but back in the early 2000s that didn’t seem like a smart thing to do. Funnily enough, I’m about to open a record store inside of Walter’s Downtown with John Baldwin. But I digress, the gaming store was born the way a lot of art is born – the inspiration hit and we had to get it out there in the world. Four and a half years later, I’m so glad we did and that we stuck with it through hard times. And yeah, I totally have to resist the urge to play games all day instead of answering emails or cleaning up or whatever I’m supposed to be doing. Actually, I don’t always resist. One of the perks of being the boss I guess! Saturday night discover the world of gaming culture right here in the Heights as Insomnia, 724 W. 19th Street, brings the world of art and gaming together at a show titled “Stay Tooned! Cartoon Art Show & Market.” 7 - 11 p.m. in the parking lot and at “Glitch Gallery Inside Insomnia. Details at www.insomniaVGC.com

The Rolling Kitchen isn’t the only project that Paul Miller is bringing to Leader country. With the redevelopment of Ella Plaza on Ella Blouvard, The Union Kitchen will move into the space that the Golden Wok now occupies. Miller said that the lease has been signed and a complete remodel of the acquired space should start in the next week. “We’re looking to move in and take over the space in October,” Miller said. “We’re already starting to plan for the restaurant and even working on the liquor license and what address fits best.” If everything goes against the odds and stays on track, The Union Kitchen hopes to open doors at the end of January 2016, just in time for Valentine’s day. Upon opening, Miller said the menu will be modified, to keep it simple and not upset customers. “I get calls every day if it’s true about the new location in Garden Oaks,” Miller said. “I try to respond to as many of those questions as I can. I love the energy.” The Union Kitchen is indeed coming to the neighborhood and its sibling The Rolling Kitchen, is parked at Sassafras on Monday and Fridays.

By Christina Martinez christina@theleadernews.com In 1997, Tinn Chim was looking for a job to get her through the University of Houston where she was earning a music degree. Her friend recommended an “easy” position of serving at Pappa’s and it was that not-so-easy serving job that has brought her to love her job at Down The Street. A recent graduate of the University of Houston, Chim graduated with her music degree in performance with training in opera. Even with a performance degree, Chim admitts that she still had a case of stage fright. “Those internal senses of success on my part are what got me through it,” Chim said. “I think it was probably the toughest thing I ever did.” One degree down, Chim said she’s a perpetual student and she’s back in the classroom working on her second degree towards creative writing. Chim started working at Down The Street, 5746 Larkin St., three years ago, while going to school for her performance degree, and has a special connection with the neighborhood bar for getting her through her later college days. “I have such a huge loyalty to this company because they got me through one of my toughest times,” Chim said. “It’s different going back to college in your thirties.” After working her way through one degree and another in the works, Chim has seen the bartending industry develop. “I started in corporate and then went to little dive bars, then to craft cocktails, back to dive and now I’m here,” Chim said. “At a neighborhood bar.” In the last seven years, Chim says she has watched Houston and the industry grow tremendously. She says she has a lot of friends in the industry, on the cocktail and foodie side, and respects their side, but finds it intense. What Chim loves about her part in the industry and being a bartender is the customer interaction and the relationships made.

“It’s the interaction with my guests and peers,” Chim said. “Some people really love the art of creating the drinks or the food. I think I was like that when I was younger, but now being a little older, it’s definitely about the relationships.” The Berry Root Fizzy This month’s featured Behind The Bar cocktail is on the menu at Down The Street and Chim said she chose this cocktail for its refreshing taste for summer and touch of Rhubarb puree, which is a personal favorite for Chim. She compares it to her favorite rhubar pie at House of Pies. “When we started making this in the kitchen, I knew I wanted to recommend the puree to be in a drink. This drink is so good, I tell people to be careful,” Chim jokes.
borhood charm. “My regulars are so regular that they even sometimes complain about the crowd on the weekends,” Chim said. New faces that come into Down The Street tell Chim that they, in fact, do live down the street or that they’ve never even heard of the bar. “I think I have five people, once a week, come in and tell me that they didn’t know the bar existed,” Chim said. “I think they drive by and think it’s just an icehouse and then they come in, see the decor, the menu and love how shabby chic the bar is.” Chim has a great memory

of the bar first opening and draft beer not being available. “We use to have this chalk board where we allowed regulars to write down what they wanted to see on the tap list, and everyone would vote on it,” Chim said. Of the 25 drafts on tap, Chim said about 12 are what the regulars wanted and the rest are seasonals. Tinn Chim might have stage fright when it comes to opera, but don’t expect that when she’s behind the bar at this great neighborhood spot at Down The Street. Catch her Monday - Thursday.

Candidates share vision for Houston’s infrastructure, budget, other issues beries. Anecdotal evidence of these crimes can be found on the social media sites of various neighborhood associations, along with the frustration of residents who don’t feel like HPD does enough. That’s why communities like Oak Forest have pooled together their resources to fund a security program through SEAL security. According to a recent post on the Oak Forest Homeowners Association Facebook page, the program costs about $21,000 a month
Crime Not surprisingly, crime was a hot topic for Christopher Legier, Chris Bell, Ben Hall, Steve Costello and Bill King. King said the Houston Police Department only solves 6% of burglaries and 15% of rob-

for 24/7 security. Oak Forest’s contract with SEAL expires December 31. “Houston needs more police,” said Legier. “We are way short of the number required for a city our size. We need to also raise the starting salary for police to recruit the best and brightest. Let temperament be one of the top factors in who becomes an officer.”

The race for mayor has hit high gear. In the Leader area, the candidates appeared August 12 at a forum sponsored by the Greater Heights Chamber of Commerce – and on September 1, the Leader is co-hosting another forum at Grace Church Garden Oaks with the Garden Oaks Chamber of Commerce and Super Neighborhood 12. What’s important to the
candidates – or to put it a different way, what do they think is important to you? The Leader asked them to name their top three and heard back from six of the eight candidates by press time.

City Budget All the candidates had something to say about the challenging fiscal years that lie ahead for the city. Legier said that the city currently has around $4 billion in assets and near $13 billion in debts. “We are going to have to restructure the budget,” he said. “This means doing away with the revenue cap, renegotiating pensions, taking a closer look at TIRZ’s (tax increment reinvestment zone) and raising taxes. No one wants more taxes or fees. But the reality is if we don’t we are going to have to cut services.” Hall said that he is opposed to raising taxes on residents. “I am convinced that the city has enough money on hand, but is not managing and spending these funds properly,” he said. One of his options for reducing city expenditures is reverting TIRZ revenue back to the City or public projects. “This will produce additional revenue to the city without raising taxes. With such extra revenue, we will be able to address shortfalls and pension
obligations,” he said. “This may require a law change, but the legal option should be available to us.” The “elephant in the room” according to King is the unsustainable pension system. Costello thinks the answer is to return local control of Houston’s pensions. “It isn’t states that go bankrupt, only cities do,” he said. “And as the state’s largest city and the one with the most pressing pension problem, Houstonians should have the authority to craft our own solution rather than continuing to leave our fate in the hands of typical politicians in Austin.” The number of registered voters who showed up for the mayoral race of 2013 was dismal – only 10% of the nearly two million registered voters. Maybe that’s because many thought a second term for Annise Parker was a foregone conclusion. As Legier said: “90% of the electorate allowed 10% of the electorate to decide what happens and who gets resources in the City of Houston. We have to change this attitude. We shouldn’t wait until the bottom is about to fall out or for some other crisis to exercise our right to vote.”

FORUM
Taylor St.
Neighborhood Integrity It’s apparent that Sylvester Turner has been paying attention to the debate about Houston’s historic preservation ordinance with regard to the Heights – something The Leader has been covering since 2013 – when he said that maintaining the character and integrity of neighborhoods is important to him because “families don’t just purchase a home, they purchase a neighborhood.” He said he’s still working through the proposed chances to the ordinance but encourages anything which will get the Houston Architectural Historic Commission away from bias in design guidelines. “I don’t want city to impose a subjective system on them,” he said. For Chris Bell, preserving neighborhood integrity would include the monitoring of hazardous rail cargo through densely populated areas. He refers to the June 11 derailment of a freight train just north of I-10 along Old Katy Road. While reports said the train cars involved carried plastic pellets and soybeans, Bell said the same rail line in any given week also carries millions of
gallons of volatile crude oil. He wants better monitoring of train speed along freight rails in the city.
Stude
Infrastructure and traffic The state of Houston’s roads and drainage was another biggie for the candidates with Christopher Legier, Steve Costello, Sylvester Turner, Chris Bell and Bill King chiming in with their thoughts. Costello, a professional engineer, says he feels uniquely qualified to address Houston’s crumbling road infrastructure. “I drive on the same potholes as everyone else, and as mayor I will have the practical experience to tackle our street issues head on,” he said. Costello helped design and later pass ReBuild Houston, a “pay as you go” system to fix drainage and street infrastructure which he says has already lowered the city’s street and drainage debt by close to $300 million. The ReBuild website lists many projects that have occurred in The Leader area. One of the most recent was the drainage project nearing completion at 43rd and Rosslyn. But King points to the recent Texas Supreme Court that found that the ReBuild ballot measure was illegal because it didn’t make the public
aware of the drainage fee that would be tacked on their water bill. “The pay as you go model makes no sense – the construction costs go up if you wait,” said King, who favors a bond election to fund such projects. He said he recently met with frustrated Oak Forest residents whose undersized sewer pipes couldn’t keep up with their newly constructed, bigger, homes. “They feel so disconnected and frustrated,” he said. Turner is not ready to throw out the ReBuild concept completely but wants to make it better. “We have to have a reliable, dependable funding source,” he said. “I want to make sure that the money coming in is used for a dedicated purpose.”
m
Costello has a plan to add 1,500 new police officers to Houston’s force. “I will stress community-based policing so officers are familiar with neighborhoods and the unique challenges they face when it comes to public safety,” he said. Ben Hall wants to reduce criminal activity inside the city by deploying new visual technology (360 degree camera devices) in high-crime, low-traffic areas. “These 360 degree camera sentinels will serve as deterrents to any would-be-criminals who might intend to frequent high crime areas,” said Hall. “Vehicles used in criminal activity and images of the criminals will be recorded by these cameras for later use if a crime occurs in an area. Preventative measures are cheaper than reactionary measures.”
