By Christina Martinez Christina@theleadernews. com When talking about Julep on Washington Avenue their cocktail menu might be the first thing to come to mind, respectively. But with the addition of Executive Chef Adam Garcia and his new menu, that first thought might change. The menu, put together by Garcia, is a mix between cold seafood items, and a spin on salty bar items. The menu starts with the oyster selection. Chef Garcia says the oysters change almost everyday. “The oysters are served with Champagne Mignoniette and Horseradish,” Garcia said. “We get those mostly from the east and west coast. So those have been changing and evolving a lot. We sell those by the eat. So people can come in and order one or they can order a dozen.” Next on the list is the Pantry Jars. This menu offers a Chicken Liver Mousse, Smoked Bluefish or a Pickled Quail Egg option. “The Pantry Jars are less seafood oriented,” Garcia said. “So for the people that may not necessarily want seafood

we will have the pickled quail eggs and the smoked blue ﬁsh. This past week was the ﬁrst time we put everything on the menu and those have been received very well.” The menu offers a couple starters that have been bar hits. Garcia says the Hush Puppies, Crispy Potatoes and Snap Peas are fun to share and the Hush Puppies have been their best seller. The menu has a variety of seafood items, including an impressive Seafood Tower that will top any Seafood lover or classic scallops served with peas, country ham and toasted breadcrumbs. The menu is printed daily and is based off of Garcia’s selection from the gulf. “I contacted local providers that have line caught gulf seafood,” Garcia said. “So I’ll get emails about eight hours before my shift on what comes in that day and our menu is based on what that email says. A lot of times we do have a limited menu, but that’s only because there is new stuff everyday. It may be limited, but it’s guaranteed to be fresh.” One menu item, the Razor Clams, which is served with

The Birdhouse ﬁnds nest in the Heights By Christina Martinez Christina@theleadernews.com With crawﬁsh season over, The Boil House on 11th street has opened their doors to a new tenant, The Birdhouse. Oak Forest resident and Chef of H-Town StrEATs, Jason Hill, has started a new venture with H-Town StrEATs chef Matt Opalski and Oak Forest resident Matt Keller in their gourmet fried chicken restaurant. The three business partners met over 14 years ago, when they all worked in different kitchens. The trio decided to get together to open up one of the oldest food trucks in Houston, second to Bernies. “We were originally in Kraftsman Bakery in the Heights, prepping for the last three years,” Hill said. “We needed to move out because they’re developing the old building for lofts. One of our co-workers worked here at The Boil House and we needed a space. They decided to rent some space to us to offset their rent. They liked what we did and our business practices so they offered us the space. It was an opportunity that we couldn’t pass.” The Birdhouse opened their doors to Houston fried chicken lovers last weekend, and Hill

tells The Leader, that The Birdhouse had an overwhelming response. “Saturday we were suppose to be open until 10, but we ended up closing at 6 because we sold out,” Hill said. “On Sunday we sold out, again.” With reassurance, Hill says he has the ratio down and that The Birdhouse shouldn’t have any trouble with selling out anymore. With the venue centered on seasonal practices, The Birdhouse has their menu based around local chicken from Holmes Foods, which is based out of Nixon, Texas. And their southern style sides are focused around in-season crops. Chicken fried steak, a chicken tender basket, and chicken sandwich are staple menu items to ﬁnd. The menu will also note seasonal southern sides with creole coleslaw, classic mashed potatoes and gravy and brazed bacon green beans. Another menu item to try is the chicken doughnut sandwich, which pairs into The Birdhouse’s (soon to open) doughnut shop, Hugs and Doughnuts. Hill and the staff at The Birdhouse say they have the best fried chicken in town.

The Birdhouse isn’t the only new tenant taking over at The Boil House on 11th Street. Sweet Luxuries Bakery is also new to the building and opened their doors this past weekend. Owner of Sweet Luxuries Bakery, Heather Davis says their opening weekend was a hit. “We had a steady ﬂow of trafﬁc,” Davis said. “We sold out of our top seller, the lemon bars. We sold out around 2:30 p.m. and we were all very happy at the end of the day.” Davis said it’s been a long journey learning the ways of the business and the different permits and legalities that come along with it. It’s been about seven years in the making for Davis and her business, and she says what she is most excited about is meeting the community. “This is my favorite neighborhood,” Davis said. “I feel so blessed and honored to start my business in such a great location. It’s a dream come true.”

There’s some sass at Sassafras

��

By Ivee Sauls Ivee@theleadernews.com The owners of Sassafras consider it to still be in its soft open phase because they want to continue remodeling to build out a full bar, complete with new comfy seating. However, the change in ownership has already given the former Crazy J’s Ice House and The Brew House location some much needed sass. With food trucks on Saturdays, steak night on Mondays, occasional taco nights and pop up dinners, Sassafras has more to offer patrons than the ice house predecessors. The interior has been redesigned with new paint, lighting, and large mirrors with frames specially built and designed by Partner Carrie Oliver, who has also done transformations at Captain Foxheartís Bad News Bar & Spirit Lodge, The Honeymoon Cafe & Bar, and Goro & Gun, to name a few. Oliver was also responsible for the landscaping in the planters on the now expanded patio that also has picnic tables that came out of storage from Grand Prize Bar. “People like it, we just have to keep improving,” said Brandee Boyle, one of the three partners responsible for the transformation.

Fernandez is also the bar manager and a bartender at Big Star Bar. Another person having a great inﬂuence on Sassafras is Eric Salzman, Boyle’s boyfriend, who also bartends at Sassafras and is responsible for the red and white sangria and an “above average” selection of wine. “Quality over quantity,” said

Boyle about their selection of wine. “A frozen drink machine is also in the works,” she said. They plan to bring in more pop up dinners and food trucks in an ongoing effort to improve Sassafras. With the new food options, an expanded selection of libations, which includes the wine, sangrias, select liquors and Texas and Houston based craft beer, Sassafras, at 5022 Pinemont, has some sass.

Ninja Ramen 4219 Washington Ave www.ninjaramen.com Ramen: $12-$20 Mazemen: $12-$12.50 Ice Cream: $3 Kid Friendly: Night time noodle joint with a superbly stocked bar isn’t a place for the youngsters LE’s favorite: Spicy Miso Ramen with extra meat and egg If you’re sitting at one of Ninja Ramen’s handful of tables and look up to the thin light fixtures you’ll see what some people think of when they hear the word ramen. Those white, wafer-like blocks of noodles that easily slip out of their light plastic jackets and into a bowl of steaming water for a mini meal most frequently consumed in a dorm are there staring down at you from inside the lights. They are a reminder of what ramen at it’s lowest form can look like. But when you peer back down at your table and a bowl of Ninja’s namesake is dropped down in front of you, what comes out of the kitchen of this new spot on WashingtonAvenue looks nothing like what’s shining down at you from above. Ninja’s ramen, before the broth hits your lips or you pull the brisket from the grip of the chopsticks, instantly appeals to the aesthetic senses. Although wading in a fluid state on top of the broth, the dish has an almost exacting artistic symmetry: faded brown bamboo shoots, glistening strips of bright beige brisket, threads of cream-colored noodles, emerald-tinted onions and a thick slick of ketchup-hued hot sauce all in their own separate areas on the verge of being kneaded together into a singular soup. (The ruby portion of this picture only comes when you go for the spicy option on the minimalist menu, which is what Leader Eater prefers, specifically the Spicy Miso broth.) But the optical and palatable center point of the dish is the halved hard boiled egg that has been marinated for days in a process known as ajitsuke tamago. The lengthy time the egg has spent in a bath leading up to its inclusion in the ramen sucks out the bright whiteness that a fresh egg has yet has given the yoke an eerie, gelatin look with a dense gold gym. When the egg slips from the wonton spoon into your mouth, you forget about the color combinations and focus on the texture that makes the egg so enjoyable with the smooth broth. The tenderness of the egg white is complemented by the slight stiffening of the yoke that has taken out See Eater P. 4B

The Creek is no longer dry Thirsty Explorer Things are happening with The Creek Group. There’s even a rumor circulating that a ﬁfth Creek location may be opening in the GOOF (Garden Oaks/Oak Forest) area. A representative for The Creek Group could not conﬁrm or deny, which means The Leader area will just have to wait and see. Dry Creek, once known as Thirsty the best BYOB in town, after 10 years, Explorer acquired their beer and wine license and became “wet”, offering a great selection of beer and wine. Then they hired Chef Rishi Singh, former chef at Bar Boheme, who is gradually making

changes to the menu to up the culinary game at Dry Creek. They will be modifying a few items per week to honor the clientele and take it slow, but the first change will be the newly launched burger menu. Then on Wednesday, October 8, starting at 6:30 p.m., Dry Creek’s Chef Tag Team, new Chef Rishi Singh and Eatsie Boy’s Chef Matt Marcus, 2012 My Table Houston Culinary Award Up- And-Coming Chef of The Year Winner, will offer five courses with five beer pairings at a 8th Wonder Brewery tap takeover. There will be tunes curated by Craig ‘Sweet T’ Brown from Heights Vinyl and a “Kill the Cask” After Party featuring Brewston Dry Hopped Pale Ale starting at 9 p.m. Tickets are $65 plus

tip and there are only 40 seats available. So, be sure to get yours fast! There are also specials every day of the week with Burger and Pint Night on Mondays, where $14 will get you any burger and any pint, in addition to happy hour specials all day long. On Tuesdays there are half price bottles of wine and the fresh catch of the day. On Wednesdays, there are $12 beer buckets and fried chicken. Karbach cans are only $3 on Thursdays and enchiladas are the special. On Fridays the special is chicken fried steak. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 2 to 6 p.m. Meanwhile, Onion Creek also has specials, which include half price wine by the bottle, all day happy hour and steak night on Mondays. HTX Tuesdays consist of

$3.50 HTX pints and two for one breakfast tacos for Taco Tuesday. On Texas Wednesdays, there are specials on all Texas beers and booze, and tunes from Soular Grooves DJ. Thursday is Jamaican Beer Day with $2.50 Red Stripe, $6 Jamaican Shandys and island tunes. Friday is “Cheap Ass Beer Day” with the Greasy Lips Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, collard greens, watermelon and a biscuit. In other Creek news, Canyon Creek is holding the Creepy Karbach Memorial Run on Friday, October 31. The three mile run in costume will involve beer, hijinks and a costume contest. The entry fee is $5, which includes a t-shirt. For registration and rules, visit www.canyoncreekcafe. com. For more information about any of “The Creeks”,

Nibbles: Tried the Quiche at Cadillac Coffee? By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com

Meghan Ackerman and Austin Lane brought their 1963 Shasta camper van to the First Saturday Arts Market a couple of weeks ago after slowing down their operating hours a bit this summer due to the heat. When things cool down, Lane tells The Leader they’ll be active 4 to 5 days a week. Formerly in Independence Heights, Ackerman and Lane recently relocated to East downtown although they anticipate bringing their food truck to more First Saturdays as well as other locations in the Heights.

Licensed to serve since April of 2014, Cadillac rolled out food and coffee beverages at the same time. “On our menu I’d say it’s 50-50,” said Lane. “From a sales point we probably do 75% drinks 25% food.” Want to taste something awesome? Ackerman’s Moon Tower quiche features rabbit sausage, mushrooms caramelized in Mexican Coca-Cola and Muenster cheese. A baker her whole life, Ackerman is self-taught. Cadillac is her ﬁrst professional stint in the food industry. Be sure to stop by next time Cadillac comes to First Saturday but in the meantime you can keep up with their comings and goings on Twitter

and Facebook.

The previous location of City Oven and new location of Barnaby’s.

Guess who’s moving into the old City Oven location? That would be Barnaby’s Cafe who will be in the space at 2802 White Oak Drive by the end of the year. Bryan Danna, a principal at Revive Development, told the Chronicle that Barnaby’s signed on the dot-

this place has on the menu. The only opportunity for experimentation is deciding between original, spicy, miso or spicy miso broth. And as I explained, adding meat or an extra egg is the only other frills for the dish. However, there is Mazemen on the menu, which is a drier dish with the noodles lightly glazed with a cream sauce (and the choice of the same toppings as the ramen). Beyond that, there is just ice cream (but Leader Eater suggests requesting Ninja’s staff to bring out a special Spam ham and rice bar that tastes much better than it sounds).

Cocktails from P. 1B Fitzgerald’s. These days Burrow can be found behind the bar at Captain Foxheart’s Bad News Bar and Spirit Lodge off of Main Street downtown. Burrow opened his downtown bar with the help of another co-owner, Ryan Rouse. Rouse’s name can be dropped and accredited with the divey Heights’ Big Star Bar, Lei Low, and new to the list, The Honeymoon Café and Bar. A couple other names on the esteemed list have touched our area, but Burrow and Ross are just to give perspective. Previously, I gave a list of items that show Houston’s diversity of how and why we should have a critically acclaimed cocktail. But from that diverse list, draws complexly unique cultures. And from that, how are we supposed to pick a cocktail that paints a portrait of the beautiful melting pot that is Houston? As much as I would like to use my college drinking as a resume platform, it will not suffice. It is something I will leave to the experts and voting panel at the Sammy awards. In the past month I have learned that there are many loyal readers of The Leader. So I don’t need to remind you of our monthly Leader Cocktail of the Month. This month, I, your (also loyal) Managing Editor would like to shake things up. The question Free Press has asked our Houston bartenders is something I am interested in finding out. I talked to two bartenders in The Leader area: Arthur Pichardo at Harold’s in the Heights General Store and Rachel Tate at Cottonwood. I explained to Pichardo and Tate the question Free Press called to each. I asked both to make three cocktails they thought portrayed Houston best and from those three cocktails, we picked one. Here are the contenders: Arthur Pichardo first featured a Pisco Margarita, which he believes shows the diversity of Houston. Flavors in this drink he internationally acclaims to

countries like Spain and Peru. Next on the list was the Prarie Fire. A drink centered around the classic Makers Mark bourbon and paired with keynotes of black pepper and lime juice. Pichardo attributes this name with descriptive spirit lyrics accrediting the black pepper to the ash from Texas wildﬁres, and the basil resembling the once green planes. Drum roll please - Arthur Pichardo’s signature Houston cocktail submission is his Blackberry Vine. The cocktail is centered around his spirit of choice, Herman Marshall, a Texas made gin with accents of lime, local honey, ginger beer and blackberry jam. Next on The Leader’s list is Rachel Tate with Cottonwood. First on Tate’s list was a classic Old Fashion made with Bulleit Rye, simple syrup and bitters. Tate says the drink is one of the most ordered cocktails at Cottonwood, she also says the cocktail never goes out of style and is great to sit and sip on. Next up is Tate’s Moscow Mule. The cocktail is started with Texas’ Tito’s Vodka, naturally, which gives the cocktail easy cool points. The drink is ﬁnished with the usual Mule pairings and served up on the rocks. A second drum roll - Rachel Tate’s signature Houston cocktail submission is the Cool Down. The cocktail’s base is gin, paired with basil, cucumbers, agave, ginger beer, peach bitters and lime juice. Tate accredits the name, to summer accents the drink highlights. But also says the drink can be drank year-round. From the two cocktails submitted by Pichardo and Tate, both show diversity and a different pallet. Which cocktail best represents Houston? I’ll wait for your follow up Letters to the Editor. From both of these drinks and the question Free Press quizzed, we can conclude that Houston is leading the way in the cocktail industry and The Leader area is where it’s happening. Who’s thirsty?

As much as Ninja is minimalist, it also is a traditionalist, taking up the role as a late-night watering hole and sobering-up stop, the natural role of a ramen restaurant. The place opens at 6 p.m. and is slinging soup until 2 a.m., instantly putting itself in a small category of chow spots on this end of town that you can hit up later into the evening. It’s also

Hidden Diseases in Pets

Early Veterinarians practiced emergency or crisis medicine by treating animals only when they were sick or approaching death. As medicine advanced, we found that preventative medicine such as vaccines, parasite control and lifestyle adjustments, saved lives and money. Today, medicine has advanced and Hidden Disease Testing is now allowing us to detect, cure or slow progression of animal disease. This too saves money, but more importantly, it is another reason why pets are living longer than ever before. Some examples of hidden disease are infections, internal parasites, anemia, kidney, GI, heart, diabetes, and liver disease. Endocrine problems caused by thyroid, adrenal, and other gland dysfunctions are common hidden disease as pets get older. Hidden Diseases may be: 1. Silent and assymptomatic. 2. Unrecognized yet causing ongoing unnecessary discomfort. 3. Noticed by the behavioral changes when misery and/or illness starts. 4. The cause of untimely or sudden death Pets age faster than people and disease develops faster also. All body organs will degenerate or mutate over time (Some earlier than others). Hidden Disease Testing in healthy animals - is now cost effective and routinely includes: • Advanced Parasite Testing • Blood Proles • Urinalysis • & ECG’s and Blood Pressure • and more. With future medicine we will no doubt see DNA Proling, which will forecast genetic or inherited diseases. Owners and Doctors will be able to predict and prevent pet disease before it occurs in the years to come (Maybe before the pet is even born.) There will always be some reluctance to change, but with common sense and experience we will advance the care of our Best Friend.

While the Eagles lead handily over Sante Fe by a score of 45-20, the Panthers made a comeback over Kinkaid High School after trailing at the end of the ﬁrst half. The St. Pius game featured a large number of fumbles and turnovers at both ends of the ﬁeld, however St. Pius went on to score 21 unsanswered points in the third quarter, propelling the Panthers to a 36-21 win.

Several private high school football programs in the area are riding good momentum into this week’s game after opening thei season undefeated. Both St. Pius X High School and St. Thomas High School improved to a record of 30 last week after defeating Kinkaid High School and Sante Fe High School, respectively. According to the school’s website, the St. Thomas win marked the 16 consecutive wine at Hotze Field inside Granger Stadium, dating back

to the ﬁnal two games of 2011 and 14 straight games under head coach Tim Fitzpatrick without a loss. St. Thomas defeated Sante Fe by a score of 45-20 and Fitzpatrick praised his team while looking ahead to next week’s homecoming game at Granger Stadium. “We were a decent team tonight and beat a lesser opponent,” Fitzpatrick stated on the school website. “Special teams were good. Stilla lot of work to do in all phases of the game if we want to be the team we’re capable of being.

We have to learn to get tougher mentally and physically, to execute more consistently, but good enough to be undefeated through three games.” St. Thomas kicks off against Episcopal High School, which is currently 2-1, at 7 p.m. Friday at Granger Stadium. It has been a similar story for St. Pius X, which made a comeback against Coach Stephen Hill’s former team at Kinkaid High School last week after being down 14-6 at the end of the ﬁrst half. The game was marked by

a high number of turnovers at both ends of the ﬁeld due to heavy rains throughout the day. The Panthers rallied in the third quarter by putting up 21 unanswered points and another 9 in the fourth quarter, defeating Kinkaid 36-21. Hill said his team won’t be taking it easy against Bay City High School, which currently has a record of 0-3, on Sept. 19.. “Bay City run’s the ball 98 percent of the time,” Hill said. “We’re going from a throwing team to a running team

so that will be one of the biggest things we’ll watch out for. We’re going to just keep doing what we’re doing. The Panthers will kickoff against Bay City High School in Bay City 7:30 p.m. Sept. 19.
