elcome to our first ever Food Issue! From cover to cover, we delve into the dining scene in Raleigh, which seems to change every week. We’ve got the latest on our local Farm-to-Table, where to eat outside, both on patios and rooftops, and a perspective on three people who have been in the restaurant business in Raleigh for a really long time. Have you heard about what a local group has coined as “Raleigh’s Food Corridor”? Learn how activists are wrestling with issues such as food deserts, sustainable food systems and building stronger community through food in the heart of Raleigh. People are having meals outside of their homes now more than ever. The latest statistics show that the average American household’s monthly expenditure on eating out has surpassed the monthly grocery budget. New York Magazine reports “Americans are spending more at bars and restaurants ($54.857 billion) than they are on groceries ($52.503 billion). It’s the first time it’s happened in recorded history.” If you’re tired of eating at the same old places, you better know your latest food and beverage scene in Raleigh so you can explore more options. Look

over our guide listed by day of the week, in order to expand new ways to stretch your dining dollar in “Bargain Bites”. This year the Raleigh-Cary area landed in seventh place in the country for “Highest Well-Being Community” for large communities. One reason might be that here in Raleigh, the three leaders of our local hospitals are collaborating together more than ever to make access to health care and preventative health care more consistently available to all Raleigh residents. They get together at least once a month to discuss innovative community health strategies and ways to collaborate. Read about their individual ideas and initiatives and how, by working together, each hospital is raising the level of health care for all citizens. Be sure to check out our special section featuring medical professionals in our area, and how their special areas of medical attention may be just the thing you need to keep yourself in fine form. Have a great summer,

Beat the Heat

Locally sourced strawberries and gin make the perfect summer cocktail By Steven Major Hot summer days need cocktails like rainy days need umbrellas, and North Carolina has no shortage of hot summer days. Fortunately, the bartenders at Bittersweet have no shortage of cocktails. Kim Hammer opened the restaurant and bar in May of 2014, and her combination of great drinks and delicious food made with a focus on locally sourced ingredients has met with great success. Located on East Martin Street in the center of downtown Raleigh, it’s the perfect spot to step out of the summer heat and sip on something cold and refreshing. Striking the right balance with summer cocktails can be difficult; too sweet and it feels like you’re drinking spiked punch at prom, too bitter and the heat starts to get less bearable. Ordering what sounds like a refreshing drink only to find yourself focusing on your water and debating knocking the glass over so you can order something different is never enjoyable, which is why I often find myself ordering a trusty standby like the gin and tonic. But life is about trying new things and I had never had a drink at Bittersweet that I didn’t enjoy, so when I saw the Strawberry Letter 23 on the drink list I was cautiously optimistic and gave it a try. I have ordered many since. Made with gin, strawberries, lemon juice and basil, it’s light and refreshing and incredibly delicious. The strawberries are sweet, but they don’t dominate the drink. They’re locally sourced from Lil’ Farm in Hillsborough so instead of that syrupy sweet daiquiri taste many strawberry flavored drinks have, the flavor is much more mild and crisp. The basil, (also locally sourced from Raleigh City Farm) and the lemon offset the sweetness to add a tart and herbal flavor. Mixed with Durham Distillery’s Conniption, a dry gin with strong herbal notes and a crisp finish, the combination is perfectly balanced. It’s great for an after-work cocktail and works just as well in the evenings paired with some Vanilla-Rum Crème Brûlée. So the next time you find yourself downtown, go support your local farmers and a great local business and order a Strawberry Letter 23. 26 | midtownmag.com

Simple as a Scan

DietSensor Reveals Food’s Nutritional Value By Dan Bain Have you ever needed to know the nutritional value of a meal, but not had the convenience of a label to tell you? DietSensor has launched a pocket-sized scanner that can detect the chemical components of your food. No, seriously. The scanner, called SCiO, analyzes your food at the molecular level using spectroscopy – the observation of how molecules interact with light. Simply point it at your food, press the button, and receive information on the food’s calories, fat, carbohydrates, and additional content. While the device is great for dieters, its concept was actually intended as a tool for people with more serious medical needs, such as diabetes or heart disease. That’s why the founders developed a nutrition coaching app to work with SCiO, helping patients monitor, track, and plan their meals in accordance with their medical needs. The app includes a growing database of more than 600,000 different foods from 50 countries, and coaches users toward their nutrition goals. DietSensor should be available in September, but the SCiO device is available for $249 pre-order (plus a monthly fee of $10-20 for the app) at dietsensor.com.

Profess Your Love for Food and Caffeine with Snappy Graphic T-shirts By Karlie Justus Marlowe Photography by Matt Williams Photography

Hungry for a twist on casual style? Look no further than your morning coffee order. Fueled by national pastimes of caffeine consumption and Sunday brunch, screenprinted graphic T-shirts emblazoned with food and drink favorites have taken the place of ironic band tees for laid-back weekend wear. “We carry these T-shirts because graphic tees are in style and on trend, and the verbiage can be funny,” said Linda Abdeljabbar, assistant manager at Uniquities. The Triangle boutique, which has Raleigh outposts in Cameron Village and North Hills, brought in a selection of tees from the Pyknic line for spring and summer. The line caters exclusively to fun and quirky food-centric lifestyle goods. Post up at Morning Times on the regular? Try the “Death Before Decaf” tee, cut in the brand’s signature slouchy dolman shape. Always make it a point to stop by Treat after a dinner out at Bida Manda or Provenance? The “Ice Cream is Cheaper Than Therapy” is a winner.

Consider Sunday brunch at Humble Pie the only way to cap off the weekend? “Weekends Are for Waffles” is a lightweight cotton mix suitable for North Carolina humidity. “Uniquities caters to a variety of customers anywhere from teens and young professionals to the trendy mom,” said Abdeljabbar. ”Some customers can relate to the wording, as well think it is comical.” Abdeljabbar suggests an easy approach to styling the shirts, factoring in lazy summer days and multiple courses. “We like to style them with distressed or regular denim shorts and a casual shoe,” she said, pointing to the store’s crop of J Brand or Joe’s Jeans styles and Dolce Vita gladiator flats. On the contrary, tuck any of the grey-hued versions into a bright floral pencil skirt with blocky wooden platforms for a study in contrast – just don’t take them too seriously. “They are just for fun,” says Abdeljabbar.

Taking the Long Way

Dave Wofford returns to Raleigh with 20-year retrospective By David Fellerath The printer Dave Wofford has been working so long in central Durham, with so many artists based in the western half of the Triangle, that it’s surprising to learn he started his career in Raleigh with Antfarm Studios in the Warehouse District. This summer, Wofford returns to the City of Oaks with a 20-year retrospective of his work, channeled through his Horse and Buggy Press, a graphic design, letterpress print shop, and book production studio. In a show that opened in Chapel Hill’s Cassilhaus before moving downstairs at CAM Raleigh – near his old studio – Wofford presents a survey not just of his work, but of his entire handmade aesthetic. The term “horse and buggy” conveys a time when people moved more slowly and took greater care with the things

they produced. True to form, the show features not just samples of Wofford’s work, but locally handmade furnishings: side tables by Al Frega, chairs and a lamp by Scott Howell, cushions by Jessica Ullom, a book rack by Tim Schrand. “We wanted to create a reading environment within the show, rather than just having people look at works on walls,” Wofford says. One of the older pieces in the show is a limited edition copy of an Allan Gurganus short story called “It Had Wings.” Featuring illustrations by Gurganus to accompany his whimsical tale of an old woman’s encounter with an angel in her backyard, the product is a hand-dyed memento that comes in a clam-shell box. Deliberately rare and beautiful, it’s a rebuke to the stacks of bestsellers on endcaps at Barnes &

Noble, all marked down 20 percent. (Even this last sentence seems quaint, from the late ‘90s, when “It Had Wings” was produced.) Aside from the essential material aesthetic of Wofford’s work, the show functions as a survey of the cultural production of Chapel Hill, Durham and Hillsborough. The show includes a translation of Rilke poetry by David Need, record sleeves for vinyl releases by Kenny Roby and The Mountain Goats, “Maji Moto,” a photojournal of life and drought in southern Kenya by Courtney Fitzpatrick, and poetry issues from Jeffery Beam (along with his wedding announcement). And sometimes it’s not art being produced, but children: a letterpress baby announcement from photographer Lalitree Darnielle and her Mountain Goat husband John.

“20 Years of Horse & Buggy Press (and friends)” opened at CAM Raleigh on June 13th and runs through August 7th. Visit horseandbuggypress.com and camraleigh.org. 32 | midtownmag.com

Not Just Peanuts & Cracker Jacks Durham Bulls Leading Ballpark Concession Charge By Dave Droschak The Durham Bulls is a model franchise when it comes to minor league baseball achievement. It doesn’t get much better than a classic sports movie depicting the team that still resonates today, along with a beautiful ballpark setting annually translating to box office success. But something was missing. Two years ago the Bulls broke tradition from a longtime national concession company contract and launched Bull City Hospitality, with the team taking over all of the park’s concession and catering operations. The marching orders were simple – increase the quality of product and photograph courtesy of the Durham Bulls

service with reasonable price points. “Those were things we felt we could move the bench marks on,” said Dave Levey, who was hired as the team’s director of food and beverage. Levey came to Durham with more than 20 years of food service experience at sporting and tourist destinations, including several NFL teams. “And I felt taking this job would allow me some nice creativity in the concessions industry.” What other park has a July 4th special that features a milkshake with real apple pie as the topper? Levey’s thumbprint on the food and beverage operations, and in particular on the concessions side, has centered on local and statewide partners with name recognition such as the Angus Barn, Moe’s Southwest Grill and Foothills Brewing. Concessions at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park even feature a health-conscious fresh fruit cart that “sells hundreds of dollars worth of product” each game. “It can be helpful if you can get a local brand or concept like Angus Barn in here, because people associate quality with the Angus Barn,” Levey said. “Fans don’t look at the price and say, ‘What’s the deal with this?’ And Moe’s has also met that challenge fairly well considering

we have a Moe’s location inside the stadium and a location not even 50 yards up the street. There is a slight price difference, but in the park you can get a very customizable burrito; you are going to get something you want.” The Angus Barn Steak and Cheese is a pound of beef that costs $16. Dig in. “We cut them in half all the time for people. It can be a two-person job,” Levey said of the popular offering. The Bulls also became the first minor league park to brew its own craft beer in-house. Bull Durham Brewery is brewed on the second level of the stadium, with two taproom carts on the concourse during games. So far, it appears that taking over the concessions operations has been a major hit for the Durham Bulls and their fans. “The attitude we’ve taken with Bull City Hospitality is to focus on our core items,” Levey said. “We want to have a great hot dog, not just a good hot dog. We want to have a great cold beer; a great soda. With the local partnerships we’ve created we want to focus on products that one out of every two people buys when they come into the park – and how do we make those people happy.”

Dining Ouch Fast Food Fadventures

by Dan bain, Fed Up Father, danbain07@gmail.com

36 | midtownmag.com

For the last 15 years, we’ve had to dine at chains and fast food places almost exclusively with two rowdy boys in tow. The only exception was a recent trip to Margaux’s, and we left the kids at home for that. But we were meeting several other couples to recount and complain about our shared experience in kids’ activities. There’s just no escaping parenting, especially at dinnertime. With kids, every meal is an adventure, and their adventures usually start at about the same time their words do. One of the earliest phrases learned by one of our sons was, “It’s hot.” That became his standard complaint. He’d be sitting in his high chair and we’d put a bowl of rice in front of him. “Ee hah.” We’d put a bowl of cereal in front of him. “Ee hah.” Once, I swear, we put a bowl of ice cream in front of him, only to have him complain, “Ee hah.”

I think it became a game with him. It’s not that he didn’t like the food, it’s just that he had other things he’d rather have been doing at that time. To this day, if his food is too hot, he asks if he can go back upstairs to watch two more minutes of television while it cools off. I also think he tends to fill up quickly; he’s always eaten like a bird. He’ll take two bites of a $15 hamburger at a restaurant, then say, “I’m full.” But in my mind, it sounds like, “Ee hah.” While one of the boys insisted ice cream was hot, he secretly loved it. Not so with his brother, who refused to try it for the first three years of his life. On his first birthday, he enjoyed the requisite cake, but would only cast a suspicious glance at the cold stuff in the bowl. He might have touched it with his finger, but would go no further. It wasn’t until we were at a friend’s birthday party two years

later that he finally gave in. (As usual, peer pressure trumped parental assurances.) He had one taste from an ice cream cup, and was hooked. Thus began a long history of visits to Dairy Queen, where he also discovered toppings and eventually Blizzards. It was during one of these visits that we were sitting around the table, quietly enjoying our ice cream in a restaurant full of patrons, when I made the mistake of asking my wife Kim how hers tasted. She said it was good, and returned the question. Mine was good, too. Our three-year-old must have felt left out, because he suddenly slapped his hands on the table and exclaimed, “My ice ceam… deYISHUSH!” and placed so much emphasis on the last two syllables of “delicious” that every person in the restaurant heard him, and immediately turned to gawk at us. That’s not so bad, though; it was arguably even cute. But there were other occasions when the words weren’t so adorable. About a year later, we were at On the Border, and he was working on a puzzle on the kids’ coloring sheet. I think it was similar to a Jumble puzzle, where he had to unscramble the letters of four words, then use one circled letter from each word to form the answer to an incredibly corny joke. The joke was something like, “What did fishing cavemen like to catch?” And the unsolved answer was, “Jurassic ----.” One by one, he solved the other words and filled in the letters C, A, R, and P. Yes, I’m afraid the punchline was, “Jurassic carp.” As if that weren’t awful enough, our boy genius chose that particular moment to be the only time I can remember when he wasn’t able to sound out a word. It had never happened before, so I didn’t see it coming when I asked, “So what does that spell?” Whereupon he also chose this moment to be dramatic in answering me, standing up on his chair and throwing his head back to proudly shout, “Crap!” to the entire restaurant. With all eyes on me, the only thing I could do was smile at him and say, “Not quite. It’s actually pronounced, ‘carp.’ But that was a good try!” And then sink under the table like I was stuck in a Jurassic tarpit. The best adventure with words, however, came two years later, at Bojangles’. We’ve always loved that place – to the point where Kim ate

there enough during both pregnancies to instill a love of their menu in both boys – but I’d understand completely if Bojangles’ didn’t love us in return. During his first-grade year, he went through a phase where he thought it was funny to mispronounce every word he said for an hour or two. The way he did this was to start every word with the same letter. On the night in question, that letter was F. This means that evening, he said a whole lot of F-words. But only one of them was the F-word. It started out innocently enough, with him telling me all about his fay – how fool had gone, what he thought of his feachers, etc. We both thought it was pretty funny when he talked about fearning to fraw with folored fencils at his favorite flass, which of course was fart. Then we went foutside to flay a fame fogether, until we felt fungry. By that time, his Fommy was fome from fork, so we asked her if she’d like to go to Fojangles’. She said fes. At Bojangles’, the game continued while we ate our ficken filet fandwiches, and he stood on our fench, looking out the findow and announcing all of the fehicles friving by on the fighway. “Far! Fotorcycle! Factor Failer! (They have feighteen feels, you know.)” Little did I know there was a truck coming soon. And even that would have been okay, if he’d replaced only its first letter. But for whatever reason, he’d just started treating consonant blends as single letters, and switching out the entire phonetic sound – rather than changing “tractor” to “fractor,” he’d changed it to “factor.” Likewise, “trailer” became “failer” and “truck” became…offensive dinnertime conversation. Especially when shouted. Even more especially when shouted in front of a group of postchurch blue hairs sitting nearby. The only person more shocked than they were was his mother. “What did you say?” she demanded. Which of course was the worst thing to ask, because he started to answer. I think we drowned out his reply with our protests, though. Some people complain about screaming babies in restaurants, but a screaming baby is a luxury. It’s when they learn to talk that the problems occur. And we’re supposed to take them to fancier places? Truck that. midtownmag.com | 37

Glamping Must-Haves

Hammock Tent

when the great outdoors meets high maintenance It may not be expected, but I’m a gal who loves an outdoors getaway or camp adventure once in a while. Of course, if I’m going to do the outdoors, I’m going to do it in full-on GLAMPING mode. This means glamorous camping, and while I’d prefer to go all out with electricity, running water and even a disco ball, traditional camping can even be spruced up with some basic “glamsite” essentials. It’s the simple things in life. Here are my top glamping accessories: by anna churchill, Synergy Spa, Aesthetics & Wellness, feelsynergy.com

Avène Thermal Spring Water Just a quick mist on your skin, and you’ll instantly feel up to six degrees cooler. This natural spring water is clinically proven to help calm, soothe and soften the skin. Take it on a long hike, or on the canoe when you need a quick jolt of coolness. I recommend the 50ml size for traveling, unless you’re a mistaholic – then you may wish to carry the 150ml or 300ml sizes. >>$9-$18.50, aveneusa.com 38 | midtownmag.com

If you can’t have a tent with walls and a four-poster bed, a hammock tent is the next best thing. Hammock tents put traditional tents to shame, as they provide the shelter you need but keep you off the ground to help deter bugs and stiff muscles. Various and affordable options in styles and configurations give you plenty of choices to accommodate your crew. >>$250 and up, available online or at participating outdoor outfitters

North Carolina distillers move beyond the moonshiners’ legacy By julie johnson

There’s a new aisle in the local ABC store devoted entirely to distilled spirits from North Carolina. Barely over a decade ago, not one of these companies existed. Today, our state is second only to Kentucky in terms of the number of distilleries. There are now 53 of them, 21 of which opened in the last year, with more in the planning stages. Trace our love of strong drink to the Moravians who settled Salem and established the Single Brothers’ Distillery in 1773. Or to that unique stew of religion, Prohibition and taxation that gave us moonshine and NASCAR in the last century. But the modern surge in Tar Heel distilleries probably owes a debt to the success of craft brewing, and the shared appeal of local production and distinctive character. Since the first steps in producing distilled spirits are nearly identical to the process of making beer, the two are fermentation siblings. The other impetus for this overnight growth was the passage just over a year ago of a bill that permits North Carolina distilleries to sell one bottle per customer per year directly to any adult who tours the distillery. This has provided a modest but important revenue stream for small distilleries – as well as giving curious drinkers new destinations where they can learn and taste. Those tourists, however, may be surprised to learn that not all distilling companies control every stage of their 40 | midtownmag.com

production process. “One of the dirty secrets of our industry is that 75-80 percent of American distilleries do not make their own alcohol from scratch,” says Scott Maitland, president of the NC Distillers Association and founder of Top of the Hill Distillery. Instead, they buy neutral grain spirits from bulk producers, then redistill it, flavor it or age it to their own specifications. This is perfectly legitimate, although many distilling companies coyly skirt the subject. But the fact is, leaving the fermentation and initial distillation to a big producer often makes sense and can provide a gentler entry into the business. Distilling equipment is expensive. And unlike home brewing, a hobby that serves as an incubator for brewing professionals, there is no amateur league where future distillers can legally perfect their craft before going pro. Home distilling is frowned upon (See: ‘shine, revenooer). Neutral grain spirits, which all come off the still clear, can be steered in many directions after distillation, allowing secondary producers great flexibility. Spirits distilled at 95 percent alcohol, filtered, can become vodka. To make gin, start with spirits that do not exceed 80 percent alcohol, and redistill the spirits with juniper and other botanicals (aromatic herbs and spices). If the grain base is over 51 percent corn and the fermented spirit is aged in a new American oak barrel for color and flavor, it becomes bourbon.

Barrel aging takes time: it’s not unusual to see young distilleries launch with white spirits (“moonshine,” vodka and gin), then add the brown spirits (bourbon and other whiskies) later. The seven distilleries in the Triangle all operate under the terms of the same state license, but they run the gamut all the way from those that flavor or spice neutral grain spirits produced by others to full grain-toglass production. At Durham Distillery, the art lies in the redistillation of neutral, corn-based spirits with a heady assortment of botanicals to make two different Conniption gins, both of which are receiving positive national attention. The 88 proof American Dry is bright with cucumber and citrus, and dialed back on the expected juniper; the more assertive 114 proof Navy Strength brings bold cardamom and pepper. Barrister and Brewer, the company behind Mystic Bourbon Liqueur and Heart of Mystic Bourbon, is making the transition from the most modest to the most involved expression of distilling under the state’s license. The company opened in 2013 in shared space in Durham leased from Brothers Vilgalys Distillery, which produces a spiced Lithuanian liqueur. For its first three years, Barrister and Brewer midtownmag.com | 41

commissioned a contractor to create a bourbon to the company’s recipe. Onsite in Durham, the distillery filtered the bourbon, then bottled it from the barrel as Heart of Mystic, or added honey and spices to create the liqueur, an American interpretation of a Scotchbased sipper one of the founders brought home from a trip to Scotland. This summer, the company makes the leap straight to full grainto-glass production, on a 22-acre farm/distillery north of Durham. Founding partner Jonathan Blitz says “We’re going to build a distillery, grow heirloom corn, and we’ll also have some of the botanicals for our products. We’re going to do the whole process there with products that we produce from the land.” Along with traditional tours, the company will offer distiller-for-a-day experiences for small groups, Blitz explains. “You’ll get that experience of going from the grain from the field, into the grain mill, into the cooker, into a fermenter, and in the afternoon see that whole batch come into a finished white dog [raw spirits straight from the still] and go into a barrel.” In Chapel Hill, Top of the Hill Distillery has been a comprehensive grain-to-glass operation from its beginning in 2012. All of the products are organic, with ingredients sourced from within a 100-mile radius. The grain base for all the TOPO spirits is 100 percent wheat, an unusual choice at a time when bourbon, which is corn-based, is the 42 | midtownmag.com

hottest spirit around. “I think the biggest fallacy is that bourbon is the ultimate expression of American whiskey. Why does bourbon dominate the scene?” TOPO’s founder Maitland asks. “After the Civil War, everybody’s broke. Bourbon was the rotgut whiskey prior to the war; it explodes after the war because everybody’s broke. Rye whiskey, which was 70 percent of the market, drops to 10 percent. And wheat whiskey disappears altogether because it was seen as too expensive: wheat whiskey is not made for 150 years.” “Bourbon became the tradition in the South because that’s what Granddaddy drank. And why did Granddaddy drink it? Wheat whiskey is what Granddaddy would have drunk if he’d had any money.” Maitland speculates that the cachet we attach to the age of bourbon is simply related to the fact that young corn whiskey is unpalatable, making

the aging necessary. Wheat whiskey, he maintains, is so smooth right off the still that aging on wood is only needed for flavor and color, not to mellow the spirit. TOPO’s Eight Oak Carolina Whiskey is aged on wood chips, not in barrels, and takes advantage of the flavors of eight different combinations of wood and char (toasting). And what of North Carolina’s iconic spirit, moonshine? Maitland chuckles. “My definition is if you are putting ‘moonshine’ on a label, by definition it’s not moonshine, because moonshine means liquor on which no taxes have been paid. However, in the vernacular, people are now using the term ‘moonshine’ to describe any white spirit that’s not vodka or gin, and that has not been aged in wood.” After 243 years of distilling history, moonshine has become respectable, sitting side by side on the shelves with an array of other distinctive Carolina spirits. photograph courtesy of Top of the Hill Distillery

A Reliable Recipe

The steady, healthy growth of Susan Caldwell’s Flour Power Studios

By corbie hill PHOTOGRAPHY By MATT WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHY

In 2008, Susan Caldwell lost a lot of weight. She did it the traditional way, and it was hard work – lots of exercise and eating well. Caldwell dropped an impressive 150 pounds and was featured in People Magazine’s “Half Their Size” issue that year. For her commitment to health, though, this was only the beginning. She became a certified personal trainer and started a small youth fitness program. To promote smart nutrition choices, she would occasionally bring in basic cooking equipment and do simple recipes with the children. The kids loved it – so much so that they were disappointed on days they were just working out. “You could see the sadness on their faces,” Caldwell recalls. “‘What do you mean we’re not cooking?’” Later that year she started teaching youth cooking classes at her house, and the rest is history. Today, she’s the founder and CEO of Flour Power Studios, a kids’ cooking studio with four locations, including a brand new studio in Cary – the first franchised location. In 2015, Caldwell’s entrepreneurship won her one of the Triangle Business Journal’s “Women in Business” awards, and her plan is for there to be 50 Flour Power locations within five years. When Caldwell puts her mind to something, whether it’s losing weight or running a business, she has a remarkable track record: if anyone can do it, she can. Caldwell wants to grow, and she wants to grow smart. She wants to grow right. She wants Flour Power to be all over the Southeast, but only if it can be invested and 44 | midtownmag.com

involved in local communities. “I’m not the kind of person who is going to choose a franchisee just because they have the money. They have to be involved in the communities,” Caldwell says. “They have to understand what it’s like to be a small business owner and be up to the challenge.” Caldwell wanted the new Cary location, which opened at Parkside Town Commons in June, to be the first franchise. She knew Cary needed a place like this, and that location sold out a summer camp not only before any other location, but before it even opened. In the next year, she’d like to open three new franchise locations. “I am all about slow, controlled growth,” she says. “That is probably the opposite of what most people say.”

Flour Power founder and CEO Susan Caldwell.

Flour power indeed: A cooking class gets ready to dig in.

Indeed, Flour Power has been rising for years already. In 2008, it was still an experiment of sorts: Caldwell operated Lil’ Chef, as the business was initially called, out of her home. It became so popular that she had to kick her husband and kids out of the house on weekends so she could run classes. In December 2009, she took over half a gym space in Falls River Town Center and converted it to a kids cooking studio. By 2011, Caldwell moved the business to North Hills, changed the name to Flour Power, and opened a new studio with two kitchens – and twice the space. “Midtown is an amazing place. It is the hub, to some degree, of Raleigh,” Caldwell says. She identifies with its ‘live, work, play’ slogan, and knows Flour Power has an excellent home here. By 2013, she wanted to expand. Caldwell is from the area and had to see if her success stemmed from her community ties or if the model could flourish in a new environment. So she opened a studio far from Raleigh, in south Charlotte. The 2100-square foot facility there is thriving, she happily reports. In 2015, she opened a location in Falls River Town Center; 2016 brought Cary, and the future should bring many, many more studios. Still, her mission centers on health and wellness. “I’m a big believer in hands-on cooking and the more hands-on kids are with food, the smarter choices they make,” Caldwell says. “They’re more likely to try more foods.” It’s a good fit for children who may not play sports, she says. There’s still friendly competition (though it’s more like Iron Chef than Ironman) and teamwork (though this involves oven mitts, not baseball mitts), and kids come away with a broad understanding of what goes into their food and where it comes from. They learn food science: they do experiments and blow stuff up. The kids come home a lot nicer, too. Four times a year, Flour Power offers children’s etiquette classes. Caldwell can’t abide rudeness or bad manners, so she doesn’t. And parents love what she achieves - with cooking, with etiquette, and with simply providing a safe and trusted environment at Flour Power. “We see so many repeat customers. Having owned this business now for seven or eight years, we’ve watched kids who started out with us in preschool who are now going into middle school,” Caldwell says. “Parents know when they bring their kids to trackout camp or summer camp, it’s like leaving them with family.” midtownmag.com | 45

Rent Your Home and Avoid Taxes on Sale By Joshua Furr, Rental Specialist

In 1997 Congress passed new rules about the sale of personal residences. The tax code now allows a married couple that has lived in their primary residence for at least two years to sell that home and totally exclude taxation on the first $500,000 of gain. Single individuals can exclude up to $250,000 in gain. The home sold has to have been your primary residence, and you have to have occupied it as your primary residence for two of the preceding five years. Many people are aware of this rule, which is a real break for homeowners selling in a market where prices are increasing as todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home prices surely are. What most homeowners do not know is that they can actually move out of their primary residence and rent that home for close to three years, and still sell it as a primary residence and avoid taxes on the gain in value as described above. This is because the new rules say that the sellers must have occupied the property as their primary residence two of the preceding five years, and those years do not have to be the two immediately prior to the sale. Why does this matter? How might I use this to my benefit? Expert prognosticators in the field of housing economics all seem to be saying that we can expect significant appreciation in value over the next 3646 | midtownmag.com

48 months (see PulseNomics. com). With that being true, it may well be smart to hold the home you live in now and rent it for the next two to two and a half years to gain the coming increases in value. For example, if you currently live in a $400,000 home, and it is expected to appreciate ten percent over the next two and a half years, that is a potential gain in value of $40,000. Why walk away from that? Many savvy homeowners are using a strategy with which they refinance their present primary residence while they still occupy it as their home. In that refinance they are pulling out cash that will be used as a down payment on their next home. With mortgage interest rates still at historical lows, it makes sense to leverage the next home as much as possible to preserve capital. Most homebuyers put no more that 20 percent down, and many use higher leverage than that. After refinancing their primary residence while still owner occupied

(which leads to a lower interest rate and lower fees), the property owners use the cash from the refinance as a down payment on a new primary residence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but they do not sell the original property. They hold it and rent it for up to two and a half years to reap the reward of continued appreciation over that time period. This strategy allows the property owner to have two properties appreciating in value, instead of one. And this strategy can be used every two years. There are particulars in each personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home ownership situation, so to fully understand the rules that apply in a situation like this, one would be wise to review IRS Publication 532, which is available on the IRS website (www.IRS.gov/publications). Or give me a call and I will help you evaluate your individual situation.

Relieving Hunger, Reclaiming Health We feed. We teach. We grow.

By carol wills photography By Ruhama Wolle

Riley, Inter-Faith Food Shuttle’s Cat-in-Residence, prowls the hall outside Cindy Sink’s office. His entire job is to maintain the home-like ambience of the building where Sink, Director of Marketing, Communications & Development for the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle (IFFS), keeps a close watch on the agency’s work of feeding, teaching and training people at risk for hunger in a seven-county area, including Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Johnston, Nash and Edgecombe counties. Riley, with his coal-black fur and shining green eyes, seems to be very proud of the enterprise of which he is a part – and no wonder. How did the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle come into being? IFFS is the outcome of the efforts of two energetic women – co-founders Jill Staton Bullard and Maxine Solomon – who, 27 years ago, noticed that restaurants and grocery stores often discard foods that are still edible. Bullard, who is Christian, and Solomon, who is Jewish, saw an opportunity to recover such food and distribute it to hungry people, many of whom live in “food deserts” – communities without grocery stores or other sources of nutritious food. That’s how the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle came into being. Today IFFS has grown into a thriving enterprise that receives regular donations from grocery stores, restaurants, corporations and individuals, and distributes them in refrigerated trucks to low-income neighborhoods, schools, food pantries and senior centers, usually within a day. Cindy 48 | midtownmag.com

Cindy Sink, Director of Marketing, Communications and Development, with the Mobile Tastiness Machine.

Sink sums the program up by saying, “We look at how we can meet people’s needs where they are.” She notes that IFFS recovers six million pounds of food per year that would otherwise be wasted. ‘We feed, we teach, we grow’ is really a structure for how this organization functions,“ Sink says. ‘We feed’ are the first words of the IFFS tagline. IFFS is a member of the national Feeding America network of food banks, along with the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. IFFS employs about 40 staff members and utilizes the generous and caring efforts of about 6,500 volunteers who sort, package and distribute food to those in need. Volunteers prepare BackPack Buddies for over 2,000 children each Riley keeps a close eye on the IFFS staff. week during the school year. BackPack Buddies bags are filled with

weekend meals and snacks, and are given to youngsters who qualify for free or reduced-price meals at school. IFFS also runs its own food truck (known as the Mobile Tastiness Machine) to bring hot, healthy meals to children in low-income communities during the summer. Volunteers pack grocery bags for seniors living on fixed incomes who may not have access to a grocery store. The Shuttle’s refrigerated trucks deliver healthy food – produce, eggs, meat, prepared entrees and canned goods – through Mobile Markets, where families can “shop” for free. The second part of the tagline, ‘We teach,’ refers to IFFS’ educational programs, such as Cooking Matters classes that teach families how to shop for and prepare tasty, nutritious meals on a budget. IFFS not only teaches recipients how to prepare meals for home, but also conducts an 11-week culinary job training program for unemployed and under-employed adults, and helps graduates find employment in the food industry. Sink says that 18 months after graduation from the training program, over 70% of their graduates are employed. The last two words of the tagline, ‘We grow,’ refer to IFFS’ educational programs that help grow skills for selfsufficiency. In addition to learning how to prepare food, IFFS is teaching people how to grow their own food. In southeast Raleigh, the Camden Street Learning Garden is a community garden where each participating family has a plot. “Growing food empowers participants with skills they can use for a lifetime, but more than that, gardening together builds a sense of community,” says Sink. IFFS’ Seed to Supper program utilizes NC State Extension Master Gardeners to teach low-cost vegetable gardening to beginner gardeners. Additionally, IFFS is developing a Junior Master Gardener Program to incorporate into elementary and middle schools. The IFFS Teaching Farm on Tryon Road is a place where volunteers help grow food to be donated, and incubator farmers learn small-market farming. These beginner farmers learn as they grow and sell their produce at the on-site farm stand open Thursday through Saturday during the growing season. Check out farm stand hours, volunteer opportunities, and other ways to get involved at www.foodshuttle.org. In addition, you are invited to participate in the BackPack Buddies Mediathon to End Childhood Hunger on July 13th. WRAL-TV and Mix 101.5 WRAL-FM will present a day-long food drive and fundraiser featuring local companies and community members coming together to help hungry children. midtownmag.com | 49

What About the Kids? we’ve got answers to your legal questions

My ex-wife and I have been sharing custody of our children for years (I have them every other weekend). We never went to court regarding custody and have nothing in writing because we have never had any conflicts about the schedule. She is remarrying and intends to take our children to live in California. Can I stop her? Technically, no, there is nothing that you can do to stop her from moving. However, you can seek the Court’s intervention to stop her from taking your children with her to California by filing a claim for custody as soon as possible. Depending on the specifics of your ex’s plans to move to California, it may be possible to get the court to hear the matter immediately and enter orders that would keep the children in North Carolina pending a full hearing on your child custody claim.

Since my ex-wife has always been the children’s primary caregiver, do I really have any chance of getting custody of the children and stopping her from taking them to California? Yes, you do. When one parent wishes to relocate, the court examines several factors specific to the relocation question. While there is no absolute rule that would bar the relocation of one parent with the children, it would be a rare case to allow a relocation which alters a successful custodial arrangement in which both parents have regular and consistent contact with the children.

Is it true that the court will always give preference to placing the children in the custody of their mother? No, that is not true. Basing a custody decision on gender is unconstitutional. The court will consider many different factors in deciding child custody, but above all the court is tasked with determining what custodial order is in the minor children’s best interest. What specific facts does the court consider when determining who should have custody of the children? Each case is determined by its particular facts and circumstances but the court is generally guided by long recognized principles, including but not limited to keeping siblings together, maintaining the status quo to the extent possible and maximizing the roles that each parent has in the children’s lives. Unfortunately, many parents involved in custody disputes will focus on attacking each other, but the court is seldom interested in those attacks. Rather, the court is interested in the practical considerations about your children’s lives that impact them on a day-to-day basis. Those considerations include things like where your children attend school in relation to where each parent lives, what extracurricular activities the children enjoy and which parent is best situated to support those activities, what medical or psychological needs impact the children’s lives, what custodial schedule best supports the children’s routines and schedules, and like concerns. The court will also want to hear evidence about each child’s specific personality and each parent’s relationship with each child.

Pioneer Restaurateur

celebrating tradition, community and diversity By paul savery photography By davies photography

In 2006 I took a new job in downtown Raleigh and began to wander around looking for a good lunch spot. Downtown Raleigh was drab and moribund, and a desert for good restaurants. The pickings remained slim until about about 12 months later, when I stumbled upon a newly opened Mexican restaurant at 106 South Wilmington Street. Decorated in vibrant colors and serving food made from fresh ingredients, the staff was diverse and friendly, and this oasis was presided over by a woman with a beautiful smile and a warm greeting. This place, was Centro Mexican del Corazón, and the woman was Angela Salamanca. Angela is the restaurant owner and one of the pioneers leading the downtown Raleigh local business revival. Originally from Colombia, Angela had an uncle (Carlos – the owner of Dos Taquitos, another Raleigh restaurant) who gave her the inspiration to enter the restaurant business. “His generosity and passion have been such a changing force in our family, and I know I am not the only one who has benefited from his gift.” Angela is proud that her restaurant’s food “is representative of all of us that work here. Made from scratch, made with love and intention, by the hands of women and men who have come to this country with the promise of a dream. We are a family!” Centro’s menu offers many traditional Mexican dishes: Pozole, a traditional soup with pork and hominy; Tortas de Papa and Calabaza, a combination of chayote patties, cheese and roasted potatoes; and Chilaquiles Chilangos, a dish consisting of 52 | midtownmag.com

corn chips in red chile sauce with queso fresco and a fried egg. Beef tongue is one of Angela’s favorite meats. Tongue is popular in Latin America (and many other parts of the world). While growing up in Colombia, tongue was a treat for Angela and it remains one of her favorite taco fillings. If you are lucky, you’ll stumble in on a day she puts tongue on the menu as a special; she recognizes it is a minority taste in USA. Just over a year ago Angela opened a new bar above her restaurant called Gallo Pelón, which she says is the first Mezcaleria in the Southeast. Mezcal is distilled alcohol made from the agave plant, native to Mexico. She is very dedicated to educating her customers about the finer points of the premium Mezcal she has specially imported for Gallo Pelón. Recently she took her bar staff to meet some of her Mezcal producers in Oaxaca, where years before she attended cooking classes. (Cheap tequila drunk to excess at student parties has tarnished this category of drinks.) The bar serves snacks like yucca frites and tamales until midnight. Angela is committed to making a difference in her community and is very proud of her Day of the Dead party, which takes place on the last Saturday of every October. Surely it is one of the most colorful annual celebrations to be held downtown. The event was launched six years ago to commemorate the death of her sister. Following Mexican tradition, she sets up one altar outside Centro and another one in a local cemetery, where people place offerings such as photos and trinkets of deceased loved ones along with flowers and other tokens. The two altars are the starting and finishing lines for a 5K race followed by a dance-off costume contest. She describes the race as “celebrating tradition, community and diversity” as well as being a fundraiser for the Brentwood Boys and Girls Clubs of Raleigh. “At home, I keep things simple when cooking. In my fridge there is always spinach, eggs, bacon and cheese. We also keep quinoa or rice at hand. Fish is our protein of choice, and we share with our neighbors whatever is in the garden.” She cooks at home when her two daughters are with her, Sunday through Wednesday, and likes to invite other family, neighbors and friends over to eat. One of her summer favorites is the Italian classic combination of vine fresh tomato, fresh basil, and fresh mozzarella cheese. Her essential go-to cookery book for cooking at home is Yotam Ottolenghi’s Plenty Angela has selected ‘Envuelto con Salsa de Cerdo’ as her Sunday Supper recipe for Midtown Magazine readers. She describes this dish as “a take on corn bread, but creamier, with a touch of jalapeno.” The bread is topped with pulled pork and a tamarind sofrito sauce. “I love this dish because it makes sense. It is a representation of South meets Latin. It is familiar to the Southern palate while very representative of Latin flavors,” enthuses Angela. midtownmag.com | 53

Greg Cox

Triangle Food Critic Talks Life, Love and Liver Pudding Sandwiches By Karlie Justus Marlowe photography By davies photography

In the digital age of extreme personal branding, one of Greg Cox’s shining achievements is anonymity. As the News & Observer’s restaurant critic for the past two decades, Cox keeps a low profile to discourage preferential treatment when reviewing both tried-and-true and latest-and-greatest Triangle eating spots. He knew he wanted to be a writer at a young age, when one of his poems was published in the local paper. The food part? It’s a bonus. “Just didn’t know I’d become a food writer, didn’t even know there was such a thing,” said the North Carolina native, who likes to burn off working breakfasts, lunches and dinners with bike rides on the American Tobacco Trail.

“

...whatever James Bond says, it’s stirred, not shaken...

“

56 | midtownmag.com

Midtown Magazine: What is your signature cocktail? Greg Cox: Something old school: Depending on the weather and my mood, a negroni, a manhattan, or a martini. Two parts gin, one part vermouth. That’s gin, not vodka – and whatever James Bond says, it’s stirred, not shaken. MM: What is your greatest fear? GC: Dying before my time – which, as I understand it according to Einstein’s theory of relativity, is 30 years older than I am at any given moment. MM: What is your most treasured possession? GC: In the kitchen, my knives. On a desert island, my copy of the Norton Anthology of Poetry. Neither has let me down over several decades of use, and both are capable of cutting to the heart of the matter at hand.

MM: What is your favorite word? GC: Syzygy. I love the sound, and it’s a great word if you’re playing hangman. I just haven’t figured out how to work it into a restaurant review. MM: What would your superpower be? GC: Ability to eat tall mounds of tacos in a single sitting. Or as much of anything else I’m in the mood for, without having to worry about the health consequences. MM: Who would play you in the film of your life? GC: It’s already been made. I was Anton Ego in Ratatouille. MM: What’s your favorite bingewatching TV show? GC: Pretty much any British murder mystery series. Problem is, I seem to have burned through everything available on Netflix and PBS. Any suggestions are welcome, I’m getting desperate. MM: What is your guiltiest pleasure? GC: A bourbon and a cigar on the patio, okay, I don’t really feel guilty but my wife says I should. MM: Who would you invite to your dream dinner party? GC: Alton Brown, Nigella Lawson,

midtownmag.com | 57

Anthony Bourdain, Ina Garten. We’ll make it a potluck, I’ll provide the drinks. MM: What vacation spot do you return to again and again? GC: The North Carolina shore. Anywhere from Wilmington to the Outer Banks. It’s all good, as long as I can find fresh seafood and a beach to walk on. MM: Which living person do you most admire, and why? GC: Malala Yousafzai, winner of the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize, for her courage and truly inspiring example of a meaningful life. MM: What is your favorite smell? GC: Cedar needles, crushed between my fingers. The smell transports me instantly to childhood Christmases, when my father would take my brothers and me out into the woods behind our house to choose and cut just the right tree. The aroma intensified once we got it inside the house, and eventually I came to identify that smell with the start of the Christmas season. MM: What is something that people would be surprised to know about you? GC: My favorite sandwich when I was a kid was liver pudding with mayo on white bread. I still occasionally treat myself to one. MM: What is the closest you’ve come to death? GC: When I was a toddler, I “borrowed” my mom’s keys when she wasn’t looking, and decided that an AC power outlet would make a great ignition to start my pretend car. I don’t think that’s what they have in mind when they say “He lights up a room.” MM: What is the most important lesson life has taught you? GC: Patience – though I have to admit that I’ve been a slow learner in that particular subject.

THE STATE OF FARE By Adam Sobsey Photography by Davies Photography

ohn Ford was going to be a pilot – got his license, all that – but he’s now the head chef at Cameron Bar & Grill in Raleigh. Really the two professions are not so different: you must make quick decisions on the fly, and trust your training and instruments up in the rarefied air of the job while keeping your thoughts firmly on the landscape and weather. As Ford puts it, aptly, of both: “I hate being bored.” Ford is Eschelon Restaurant Experiences Group’s reigning Manager of the Year, an accolade he earned partly by making Cameron Bar & Grill an unexpected locavore haven. Local food dots Cameron’s upscale pub-style menu; the highlight is Ford’s Saturday farm-to-table feature: a special teeming with ingredients he sources from the region’s bounty, reinvented every week. On a warm Saturday morning in May, Ford is at the State Farmers’ Market in Raleigh, his chef ’s coat drawing curious looks from shoppers as he conceives the night’s farm-to-table special. He wants to build it around the strip steaks he has back at the restaurant. It isn’t long before an arresting display of purple and gold cauliflower catches his eye.

“.. bacon has a unique ability to transform other foods into something magical.”

“Let’s keep it ECU,” he wisecracks, referring to the colors of East Carolina University athletics. He loads up his bag, to which he adds some red and white new potatoes (a nod to the hometown NC State Wolfpack, perhaps?). Then, his culinary gears spinning, he picks up seasonal asparagus from Tart’s Farm. Moving purposefully now to Ronnie Moore’s Fruits and Veggies, he asks the vendor about the best herbs – a good chef trusts his growers. “Got some good lavender,” he’s told. It’s a risky choice – lavender’s perfumed intensity can overwhelm a dish – but along with trust comes a willingness to take risks. Ford buys the lavender, and some thyme. To integrate the lavender into the dish, he has another idea: tomatoes, which are just coming into season. So he stops by Langdon Farms’ stall and scoops some up. Back at Cameron, Ford gets right to work. The cauliflower florets are separately and quickly blanched – just two minutes – so they retain their crunch. Then he submerges them in an ice bath to brighten their purple and gold hues. The potatoes are roasted with the herbs, olive oil and a touch of white wine for deglazing; meanwhile, Ford hollows out the tomatoes and stuffs them with a slightly smoky Lissome cheese from Boxcarr Farms in Cedar Grove, mixed with a little cream and more of that lavender and thyme. He tops the stuffed tomatoes with panko. What to do with the asparagus? Easy. As Ford puts it in his bio, “bacon has a unique ability to transform other foods into something magical.” So he wraps a few asparagus stalks in a belt of bacon. They’ll be grilled that way and propped up against the steak, which will be crowned with the stuffed tomato: “height-factor,” Ford explains. The finished dish is more than a dazzling riot of color. There’s something royal about it, too, like a red king holding his staff, seated on a purple and gold throne, with his garland of lavender. Ford’s Saturday farm-to-table special at Cameron Bar & Grill is just one of many examples of the reach and rootedness of farm-to-table dining around the Triangle. This is no longer a fad, but simply how we dine now: a commitment to good flavor and health, to the environment, and to our economy. Probably nowhere is the farm-totable spirit and soul more alive, more midtownmag.com | 69

central and more fertile in Raleigh than at Raleigh City Farm. James Edwards – aptly and succinctly “@organicist” on Twitter – mans the Raleigh City Farm Saturday morning stand at Peace and Blount Streets, and he’s also the man who cofounded the farm and grew the produce he’s selling. A quietly intense guy who was raised not far south in Seagrove, he spent years as a cook and chef, finally co-owning his own restaurant, Off the Square in Albemarle. But he wanted to get “deeper into the food system,” he says. Edwards sold Off the Square and came to Raleigh, where he and a high school classmate, Chris Rumbley, connected through friends with developers who were forward-thinking enough to consider turning a vacant city lot not into yet another building, but rather an urban farm. As Rumbley puts it, “we started to give structure to an idea that didn’t have a clear way forward.” The first load of soil was spread on the site in 2013. It didn’t take long for nearby chefs

to come calling. “We found supportive customers in downtown restaurants right away,” Rumbley says. Sean Fowler of Mandolin, which opened less than three miles from the farm about a year earlier, says, “It was a unique concept to me. It was cool to see an empty lot downtown transformed into a cornucopia, and cool to see something on the plate that was grown right here in Raleigh.” Fowler has a particular fondness for Raleigh City Farm’s radishes and hakurei turnips, both part of the wide-ranging, flavorful brassica family, in which Edwards specializes. Mandolin has also used the farm’s lettuce for his fried pig-ear salad – Mandolin’s take on the traditional wedge salad. Other regular clients include Ashley Christensen’s restaurants, Busy Bee/State of Beer, Capital Club 16, Fiction Kitchen, Garland, and Kimbap. Once Raleigh City Farm set down roots, it quickly grew offshoot enterprises. One is the Farmers’ Collective, a group of about 25 farms spread across central North Carolina whose produce is gathered at Raleigh

City Farm and redistributed to area chefs. (The Collective also operates “Farmshare,” a CSA.) A third presence on the farm is Endless Sun Produce, which grows hydroponically on the site and provides, among other vegetables, year-round lettuce to Raleigh restaurants and retail customers. The trio now operate as separate business entities, with Rumbley running the Farmers’ Collective and Edwards rooted at Raleigh City Farm. Restaurants source their produce from both, as well as from Endless Sun. There is “a balanced demand and production plan,” Rumbley says, which offers not only consistency and variety – Fowler of Mandolin was happy to find a source of pawpaws through the Farmers’ Collective – but uncommon freshness. Jason Smith, the owner of 18 Seaboard, immediately after singing the praises of the City Farm and the Collective, called Rumbley to find out what was available. By the next afternoon, midtownmag.com | 71

he had built an entire special around it: a flavorful springtime dish of grilled chicken breast with a salad of Farmers’ Collective greens and shaved Chioggia beets. You can also source these vegetables for your own kitchen at the Raleigh City Farm stand on Saturday mornings. You might see a cook from Standard Foods, which is right behind the farm stand, wander over to pick up a little produce, or just to chat collegially with Edwards. Raleigh City Farm remains the city’s culinary ground zero, the place where Raleigh’s farm-to-table legs are most firmly planted. Yet Edwards wants to expand it. Not geographically – Raleigh City Farm is cozily nestled into its city block – but socially and economically. This is, after all, a business in an urban market economy. He envisions, for example, opening another restaurant someday – one that would source its produce more completely from Raleigh City Farm, in a direct symbiosis. But his plans involve more than bringing the farm to the table; he wants to bring people to the farm, and not just on Saturday mornings at the stand. There are already volunteer opportunities that educate and stimulate, like “Wine and Weeds on Wednesday,” a collaboration with neighboring Wine Authorities. There is the potential for more: to make 72 | midtownmag.com

Raleigh City Farm not just a fertile spot for vegetables, but for the community as a whole, a place given to experiment and outreach that transcends simple commerce. “This isn’t about making money,” Edwards says, laughing at his slow-food finances. “It’s learning.” His small but potent acre is his classroom, and it’s calling for consumers – that is, all of us – to attend to its aspirational reimagining of how urban life might work, and to consider the entirely different model of socioeconomic life implicitly proposed by a venture like Edwards’. As ancient as food cultivation is, Raleigh City Farm’s approach is, in our times, very new. But perhaps we’re ready for it. Perhaps in some way Edwards isn’t talking only about produce when he says, “We all want to taste something we’ve never tasted before.”

CSA PDQ Raleigh City Farm’s produce stand is open Saturday mornings, 9am-12pm at 800 Blount Street (raleighcityfarm. com/farmstand). If you can’t make the trip, Wake County abounds with Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs and other sources for home delivery of locally grown and produced food, as well as many more that offer convenient pickup locations, such as Double T Farm (double-t-farm.com), Hilltop Farms (hilltopfarms.org), and Wild Onion Farms (wildonionfarms.com).

cooking in the

capital A Cultural and Culinary Experience By Rachel Vachon Photography By Davies Photography The evolution of Raleigh’s food scene has no doubt been influenced by the outsiders attracted to NC State University and the Research Triangle Park’s draw of employees from all over the country and world. Our capital city is growing and thriving, and continues to welcome new people and businesses, embracing our native Southern food culture and outside influences through the variety of food served. Longtime a home to foodies and an evolving restaurant scene, Raleigh continues to bring people together over excellent meals and the creation of complex community connections. The evidence is with our large pool of chefs – new area chefs, North Carolina natives who left to learn the craft and have boomeranged back to open restaurants, and chefs and food professionals within the city who have been at it a very long time. This last group has witnessed the changing times and food fashions, and survived by their commitment to provide the best food possible to a growing and changing metropolis.

Chef Walter Royal, Angus Barn On a day-to-day basis, Chef Walter Royal oversees a wide range of cooking responsibilities. He is the executive chef for the Angus Barn and a separate dining area known as the Wine Cellar. There are also two private catering facilities – adjacent to the Angus Barn is indoor/outdoor lakeside catering space the Pavilion, and Durham’s American Tobacco District boasts Bay 7; both are available for private events. Additionally he oversees the menu at a concessions stand at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, which serves the Angus Barn Original Steak Sandwich. At all locations he delights guests with his excellent cuisine. Since beginning his career over 37 years ago, he’s worked in a variety of restaurants. Walter knew he wanted to be a chef since he was a young boy of 14, cooking alongside his mother and grandmother. This early experience inspired him to continue to learn and move forward in his career, attending culinary school in Atlanta before moving to the Triangle and working alongside and training with many of the most influential chefs here. “I think cooking and being in the restaurant kitchen is in my DNA,” Walter says. An early opportunity he had was to work with Edna Lewis, a chef who authored several books about Southern cooking at Fearrington House Restaurant. Working with Edna Lewis, another AfricanAmerican chef, allowed Walter to really

midtownmag.com | 75

dive into the world of cooking, and heavily influenced his cooking abilities and style. He worked alongside Ben Barker there and eventually moved to work with him at Magnolia Grill, continuing later with stints at Bonnie Brae and his own restaurant before landing the top spot at Angus Barn. Walter’s kitchen, one of the largest in the area, is a fun place to work, yet operations often change from day to day. He keeps menus fresh by experimenting with a variety of food cultures and styles together. “It is a wonderful thing to know you can make people happy through feeding them and educating them about food,” Walter says. His monthly three-hour cooking classes at the Angus Barn are almost always sold out a year in advance; stay posted for openings on the not-yet-posted 2017 schedule, on the Angus Barn website. Jill Santa-Lucia, Catering Works As a little girl growing up in Fairport, New York, Jill Santa-Lucia was inspired to cook at a young age by her grandmother, who taught her to cook and bake. “My grandmother was an amazing cook and baker; in terms of cooking, she had the most influence on me as a child,” Jill says. As she got older, Jill continued to learn everything she could about cooking, working in restaurants in high school, studying Julia Child’s book Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and learning the aesthetics of displaying food and tables from watching Martha Stewart. Eventually she attended Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island and received her culinary degree. In 1989, with the help of sister Lorin, Jill began a new adventure in Raleigh. “I started Catering Works with the passion to cook and nurture people through my cooking. I love setting a pretty table, and making people feel like they are guests at their own party.” As president and culinary director of Catering Works, she and her team oversee everything 76 | midtownmag.com

from the cooking and food presentation to personalized menus and event design. She helps clients fulfill their vision for an event and customizes it accordingly, estimating that she feeds, on average, 1,000 people a day. Jill’s heart to care for and nurture people really shines through in her work. Whether it’s organizing, planning and producing an event and menu for a client or cooking lunch every day for her employees, she enjoys creating moments that create a sense of connection. She

is also passionate about helping people understand where their food comes from and what ingredients she uses. Experimenting is also a part of what Jill enjoys about her job, trying recipes that involve uncommon proteins and exotic fruits and vegetables. It is hard to pin down her most special recipe. “For now my favorite dish is a vegetable coconut curry, but next week it could be a fig pizza or anything with figs,” Jill says. “One of my all-time favorites is Timpano – it’s an all-day process and a show stopper.”

She gives full credit for her success to the many people who have helped her and have worked alongside her over the years. “We have been so fortunate to work with great, hardworking, fun people who make it a joy to go to work every day,” Jill says. “Also to having loyal customers who have stayed with us through our years of development, trying new recipes and menus, and have given us great feedback to grow. I have a very supportive and understanding family who understands what it takes to have this business. Encouragement goes a long way.” Chef Andrew Pettifer Margaux’s Chef Andrew Pettifer from Margaux’s Restaurant grew up in South London and discovered his enjoyment of cooking while he was in school. Andrew explains that London schools had classes in woodworking, metalworking and home economics. He chose woodworking – as did most of the boys, according to Andrew – but midtownmag.com | 77

discovered the trade was not his strong suit and switched to home economics. It was here, at the age of 14, that he learned of his love for cooking. He later went on to college for an apprenticeship in cooking. Since then, Andrew’s training has had a variety of influences, some of which have come through traveling to places such as Bali and Brazil. He even settled in Sydney, Australia for a time to work and continue to improve his skills. Andrew credits his experience in Australia with being a significant part of getting his grounding and proving his dedication to his craft. While there, he worked as a cook for four days and then went to school on the fifth day, which was paid for by his employer. This allowed him to learn both the technical and cooking aspects of the industry and how to run a business. As his wife was originally from Raleigh, they moved back to that area in 1996. It was then Andrew began working at Margaux’s. When

78 | midtownmag.com

he joined the staff, Andrew took the all-French menu and turned it into a fusion of French, Southern and Asian foods. As both co-owner and chef, Andrew oversees the entirety of the back house operations at Margaux’s, from working with vendors to planning, organizing and preparing the menu, which changes every day. While Andrew doesn’t have a favorite dish to prepare, he does enjoy experimenting when he cooks. Andrew believes in empowering his staff to cook, to be creative and really gain experience. His kitchen is a fun environment that works together as a team where every member has input. “I like people to be creative and come up with their own dishes that we work up and put on the menu,” Andrew says. Despite the long hours and tough aspects of running a restaurant at times, Andrew says it is very rewarding and he loves what he does. “It’s a labor of love.”

Bloomsbury Bistro At Bloomsbury Bistro in Raleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Five Points neighborhood, the focus is on fresh and in-season. The menu rotates every six weeks to reflect the availability of ingredients. Chef and owner John Toler was trained in classical French cuisine, and Bloomsbury offers up French food with an ethnic flair. That means on any given night the foie gras mousse parfait can co-exist on the menu with the Moroccan-style crispy lamb shoulder chop on a bed of spicy chickpeas and couscous. The Bloomsbury dining room is a quiet, intimate and elegant setting. There is also hearty fare available on the special bar menu. bloomsburybistro.com midtownmag.com | 81

Irregardless Café When founding chef and owner Arthur Gordon served the first patrons at the Irregardless Café in 1975, he was ahead of his time with a vegetarian menu, a commitment to locally sourced food and sustainable practices. Over the years the menu has added seafood and meat, but the farm-to-table commitment is still going strong and the restaurant has its own community garden. “Irregardless is the first vegetarian restaurant I knew in Raleigh 25-plus years ago,” says Patti Nore from Raleigh. “It has expanded its menu yet stuck with the “hippie-ness” of great alternative food other than meat. Arthur and his wife are simply awesome. Even after the horrific fire, which closed the restaurant for eleven months, his staff continued to get paid. The music, atmosphere, and the entire venue is, to me, the best Raleigh has to offer.” There is live music nightly at Irregardless and diners have been known to push back the tables and dance irregardless.com

The Mecca The Mecca Restaurant has been open in Raleigh since 1930 when Nick and Helen Doumbalis opened up a luncheonette at the corner of Fayetteville and Hargett Streets. They expanded and opened the current location on E. Martin Street in 1937, and Doumbalis family members still run the restaurant today. In its long history the Mecca has been a popular spot for politicians and people involved in state government. “The Mecca is the restaurant of choice for lunch downtown by all politicians, judges, elected officials, celebrities and downtown employees,” says Carol Chapman, who worked downtown for years. “Where else could you get Southern home cooked food like biscuits, sweet potatoes, chicken and dumplings, plus all the local news at the same time? The Glorified Jumbo Hamburger has been on the menu at The Mecca since 1958. Their late-night hours are a more recent addition. mecca-restaurant.com 82 | midtownmag.com

Margaux’s Located on Creedmoor Road in North Raleigh, Margaux’s Restaurant opened its doors in May of 1992. The menu is changed seasonally to take advantage of fresh ingredients that are available, and the three-course fixed price menu is loaded with tasty options. The décor is eclectic and the walls are usually filled with art. Cofounding owner Steve Horowitz is a huge supporter of Raleigh’s arts scene. Many Raleigh residents consider Margaux’s their family dining destination. “I’ve been going to Margaux’s since I was a teenager; we consider it our family restaurant and birthday celebration spot,” says Raleigh native Nesha Daubenspeck. “The food is always delicious and the chefs do a wonderful job of mixing up the menu with the seasons. There is a reason Steve Horowitz and his restaurant have been around 20-plus years. Steve has watched our family grow up just as we have watched his.” margauxsrestaurant.com

Angus Barn The big red barn and the silo on Glenwood Avenue mark the spot of a legendary Raleigh restaurant, the Angus Barn. Rookie restaurateurs Thad Eure, Jr. and Charles Winston swung the barn doors open in June of 1960. Thad Eure’s daughter, Van Eure, is the current owner and operator of this self-proclaimed “beefeater’s haven” that also specializes in seafood and celebrations. “When I made a reservation on Open Table I commented that it was for my daughter’s birthday and every person we came in contact with that night, from the host to the waiter to the guy who filled our water glasses, wished her a happy birthday,” says Margaret Nobles of Raleigh. “It was truly special and appreciated. Not to mention her crème brulée was on the house.” And the Angus Barn wine cellar is its own special place. “If you truly want a magical, memorable night, go to the Angus Barn for one of their special dinners in the wine cellar,” says Liz Crute. “My husband and I went to both the Downton Abbey and Titanic dinners. Truly incredible food, wonderful wines, and dressing up made it a fabulous evening to remember.” angusbarn.com midtownmag.com | 83

42nd Street Oyster Bar The 42nd Street Oyster Bar and Seafood Grill traces its beginnings to 1931 as a grocery store that served draft beer and oysters. In 1987, Thad Eure, Jr. of Angus Barn fame, along with several partners, fashioned it into a restaurant with a motto “seafood any fresher would still be in the ocean”. There really is an oyster bar, and oysters on the half-shell are shucked by hand to order. The menu changes daily and includes the locations where the oysters were fished. There are many seafood options on any given day, in addition to chicken, beef and, of course, oysters. The sides are Southern in nature and include legendary hush puppies. The restaurant has its own nighttime scene with live music. 42ndstoysterbar.com

Clyde Cooper’s BBQ On January 1st, 1938, with $50 in his pocket, Clyde Cooper opened the doors to his barbecue restaurant on Davie Street in downtown Raleigh. He ran the place for 50 years before he sold it, but even today there have hardly been any changes to the menu. The owners describe the food as clean and simple. The barbecue is made from pork shoulder because it’s a lean cut and is still done the way Clyde described it, as just having a “kiss of vinegar”. The potatoes and Brunswick stew have been on the table since the beginning. The biggest change happened when the original building that housed the restaurant, which is believed to have been built in 1884, was torn down and Clyde Cooper’s BBQ was relocated to its present location on South Wilmington Street. Some of the wooden booths from the old location were moved into the new. clydecoopersbbq.com

Winston’s Grille Winston’s Grille is another Raleigh restaurant that was born on the Angus Barn family tree. It opened in 1986 as Winston’s Restaurant and the owners were Will O’Neal and Charles Winston, Jr., whose father opened the Angus Barn with Thad Eure, Jr. It was a more formal dining space in the 1980s and the owners decided to take it a little more casual, and it evolved into Winston’s Grille and an elegant, casual and comfortable space. The menu is traditional American with an emphasis on foods prepared from scratch. It is a popular spot for Sunday brunch and it is known for its complimentary blueberry muffins. winstonsgrille.com photographs courtesy of vinnie’s steakhouse

Vinnie’s Steakhouse & Tavern Vinnie’s is a destination for its Certified Angus Beef but the seafood, including jumbo lobster tail and tuna, is equally as good. The centerpiece of the dining room is the wine cellar. There are white linens on the tables and comfy leather seats to sink into and relax. The bar is a bustling scene with a regular cast of who’s who in Raleigh on the stools. Bartender Steve is the best in the business, and you’ll get white linen under your meal should you order there.

Food Truck Insider

Midtown writer Corbie Hill wanted to know what it’s like inside a local food truck. He worked a shift at Arepa Culture to find out. On a hot June afternoon, I strolled across the parking lot of Big Boss Brewing in Raleigh toward the Arepa Culture truck just beside the patio. I’d asked to work a shift: I wanted to see what it was like inside a food truck. I wanted to write about it. Sure thing, they said – how’s Friday? So I got my Arepa Culture shirt, slipped it on and went to work. By Corbie Hill 5:18pm: For the next few hours, the Arepa Culture family and I will be in close proximity: right now, though, I’m just meeting my new coworkers. There are four: Hannia Jara and Pedro Rodriguez own the truck, while their son Marcel Jara and his girlfriend Alexa Presas, both 19, work in it. Pedro moved to North Carolina from Venezuela 33 years ago, and that nation’s cuisine inspired the truck. Hannia and Marcel are from Costa Rica, while Alexa grew up in Raleigh. She and Marcel have dated since they were high school freshmen, and she’s basically family by now. They’re all completely at home in the Arepa Culture truck and around each other, and they welcome me easily and instantly. 5:39pm: I’m learning the ingredients: here’s the stewed chicken, here’s the sweet barbecue, and here’s the beef. Under the lid here at the sandwich station are the sliced avocados, tomatoes, pico de gallo, and various kinds of 86 | midtownmag.com

cheese. Below are sauces. Beside the grill are the arepas, an English muffin-sized Venezuelan maize bread that’s inherently gluten-free. Hannia contacted the company that makes the masa flour Arepa Culture uses, and they confirmed it: nothing but corn. 5:45pm: Hannia checks the thermometer up front and notes that it’s 100 degrees in the truck. I chuckle – this is what I came to experience, after all. There are people inside Big Boss and on its patio drinking beer. Later they will be hungry.

6:19pm: I stand at the sandwich station and mirror Marcel. First, I put the arepa flat on the cutting board. I press it gently with my palm and slide a plastic knife into the side – it has to be plastic, as the soft corn dough will stick to metal – and it slides through with little resistance. Now I have two halves. I put it in a large triangle of foil and fold it around the back and I drop in a little white cheese. Onto the grill goes sautéed peppers and onions and fresh greens, which cook down. The peppers, onions, and greens go in the arepa, then more cheese goes on top, and then I throw a few little slices of avocado on the top, just for kicks. Voila: I have made myself a Veggie Lovers. 6:28pm: I take my first bite, and it is good. The white corn flour arepa is a perfect staple: anything would go well on this. I try the cilantro sauce and I like it. I try the hot sauce, and it’s amazing, a smoky, thick, de árbol pepper sauce of Pedro’s creation. I put a little more hot sauce on. Then a little more. Then even more. I can’t get enough. 6:34pm: I try the Fish Lovers. It’s a wildly different flavor, based on the savory punch of smoked salmon and capers, yet the subtle arepa flavor complements it nicely. 6:44pm: Marcel is still handing me food. He wants me to try a cachapa, a yellow photograph by Hannia Jara

5:49pm: “So you haven’t eaten an arepa before?” Marcel asks me, excited to see what I think. 5:54pm: Alexa is hungry, so Marcel makes her a Reina Pepiada – that is, a chicken salad with avocado arepa. He really cares about presentation, so even when he’s making supper for his girlfriend he

corn pancake folded around melted cheese. This kind of food is common throughout Latin America, though it has different names and is prepared differently in different countries. In Costa Rica, for example, it’s served open. I’m stuffed, but I take about half a cachapa and bite in. “Holy crap,” is all I can say. It’s so good. 7:05pm: Alexa and Marcel are both in school at NC State, he for biology and she for psychology, and the young couple has just signed a lease for their first apartment together. Marcel wants a career in medicine, requiring many more years in school, but he doesn’t feel like this and the arepa business are mutually exclusive. He wants to make Arepa Culture a brand. 7:10pm: A line forms. People are hungry. It’s go time. 7:25pm: Business is moving now, though this is a pretty gentle shift I’m working – Hannia didn’t want me overwhelmed on my first day. At festivals, when they’re really cranking out arepas, they form an

8:58pm: It’s the end of a thirty-odd minute rush, and I get some water. This is spacious for a food truck, I’m told, and I believe it: the three of us have been hustling this whole time without tripping over each other or feeling crowded.

assembly line, all four of them locked in, focused, and making food. 7:57pm: The orders are still coming in and I think I’ve found my rhythm. This is fun. 8:29pm: The temperature in the truck has fallen to 95, but by now I actually feel hot. I’ve been on the grill a good bit, both making fresh arepas from masa flour and serving the meat portions, and at this point I’m sweating profusely.

9:08pm: Pedro and Hannia are back. Thunder is booming in the distance, but customers are still lining up (and I get the feeling they will until the storm hits, forcing them inside). Hannia sits in the newly installed passenger seat and holds Pedro’s hand while he sits in the driver’s seat. “You gotta be there at the good times and the bad times,” Hannia says: they come out to Big Boss on slow days and on busy days. Today fell somewhere in the middle, and that’s fine. 9:32pm: I leave just as the first drops fall. The thunder is really loud now, and I walk out of the camaraderie that developed quickly and naturally with Hannia, Pedro, Marcel and Alexa and into the rain – literally. I miss my new friends already. I have to come back to this truck.

Alert: Tuesday is the best night of the week to find deals; ask around and about. A good bargain is Cameron Bar & Grill, which offers hearty $5 burgers and $3 cans of craft beer every Tuesday. Much of the restaurant’s produce is locally sourced, making Cameron a cut or five above the usual pub fare. 2018 Clark Ave., Cameron Village

WEDNESDAY DINNER:

The casual, cheerful Remedy Diner is, like Kabab and Curry, a veggie and vegan haven – but there’s plenty of meat on its bones, too. At $15, the nightly Blue Plate Special (after 5pm) is the most expensive item on the menu, but it’s also the largest. You may want to return for The Remedy’s weekend brunch (hard not to want a dish called “The Hot & Gooey”), but allow for a wait. 137 East Hargett St. THURSDAY LUNCH:

The pleasant al fresco seating at Sunflowers Café matches its fresh and bright food. (There’s good indoor seating, too.) Light, healthy sandwiches and salads are Sunflowers’ calling cards, but there are excellent soups, too, as well as satisfying Mex-influenced fare. Sunflowers gets busy, but counter service is efficient. Don’t miss the fresh-squeezed lemonade. 8 West Peace St. THURSDAY DINNER:

On Thursday nights at Kimbap Café, $49 gets you three items from the menu and an entire bottle of wine – date night, done and done.. Kimbap’s Korean-inspired menu has good variety, including a hearty Farmers’ Market Stew that starts with a 12hour broth and slow-cooked brisket,

then piles on the veggies and egg. And keep an eye out for Kimbap’s very reasonably priced wine and beer dinner events, which offer up to seven courses plus pairings for as little as $55 per person. 111 Seaboard Ave., #118 FRIDAY LUNCH:

With the weekend underway, you want some adventure – so take I-40 to the bazaar that is Grand Asia Market and make for the food court, where you can drive yourself pleasantly crazy trying to choose from the dozens of items. Noodle soup? Dumplings? Fried rice? Chinese-style roast duck and barbecue pork? When you’re done eating, you can stock up on Asian groceries. Pro tip: hit the bakery on your way out. 1253 Buck Jones Rd. midtownmag.com | 91

Mexican-meets-Low-Country-Southern cuisine at Jose and Sons in Downtown Raleigh.

SATURDAY LUNCH:

Buy your produce and flowers at the State Farmers’ Market, then go to the Market Shoppes building and find the tiny Market Grill, which offers made-to-order, no-nonsense, deeply satisfying breakfast and lunch sandwiches at ancient prices, including a good chicken salad on toast for a whopping $2. This is the kind of timeless place where, when you ask the employees how old it is, they look at each other quizzically and answer, “Twenty years maybe?” It feels eons older. 1201 Agriculture St. SATURDAY DINNER:

Jose and Sons, in the renovated depot building downtown, has “Mexican-Meets-Low-Country-Southern cuisine,” Eyman says. The menu ranges from mussels in a coconut-habanero broth to flautas and shrimp and grits. Portions are big – the Gouda Mac N’ Queso appetizer, which includes kale, suffices for a meal. The $45 Chef ’s Picnic For Two will probably feed at least three. And the bar serves up good cocktails, all at $10 or less. 327 W. Davie St. BONUS:;;;: SATURDAY LATE NIGHT:

The cheap, delicious burgers at the legendary Char-Grill need almost no introduction, nor do its beloved shakes. Perhaps most importantly, you can get them until 2am (Hillsborough Street location only), and the late-night line is itself a form of entertainment. 618 Hillsborough St. SUNDAY BRUNCH / LUNCH:

Sometimes you need a break from the Sunday brunch restaurant lines, long waits, and familiar eggs-and-whatever. It’s summer, it’s Sunday, and you want to get outside. Find food trucks! Start with roaminghunger.com/rdu to see who’s where, check Twitter, drive past fairs and other public events. Bring a blanket, or just sit in the car and devour. Congratulate yourself on eating your way cheaply through the week.

Taverna Agora

Babylon

This Greek kitchen on Hillsborough Street is home to an open-air rooftop patio shaded by trees and surrounded by twinkling lights. It’s a magical place to enjoy a drink. Taverna Agora relocated to this spot near Glenwood South from its original location in northwest Raleigh, and the move included adding this popular outdoor dining space. “Taverna Agora Greek Kitchen & Bar’s fantastic rooftop patio is the perfect location to enjoy lunch, dinner or cocktails with friends,” says Mindy Stroupe with LM Restaurants, Inc. “Twinkling lights, grapevines and beautiful flowers adorn the patio and evoke a romantic setting like no other in the Triangle.

Celebrating

SecondSaturday Monthly Food Event Builds Connections Between Downtown Businesses and Urban Agriculture to Strengthen Community By Karlie Justus Marlowe Erin White talks a lot about making connections. Fresh out of a meeting with a horticulture professor at NC State University, he excitedly shares some of his latest collaborative ideas. “We were talking about educational opportunities for people in the South Park neighborhood,” he said. “One of the questions that came up is how we can capture some of the intellectual capital at NC State. Could people in the neighborhood take horticulture courses there, either online or through certificate programs?” White is the founder of Community Food Labs, a Raleigh design and consulting company with a focus on sustainable food systems. For the past three and a half years, he’s focused on a small grid in downtown Raleigh that encompasses both the city’s poorest communities and its fastest-growing food scene, banking on the power of introductions and conversation starters to create a stronger community through food. 106 | midtownmag.com

Participants in the Blackberry Brigade get their hands dirty for a good cause.

Physically, the Raleigh Food Corridor stretches along the two miles of Blount and Person Streets, from South Park through downtown and up to Mordecai. It connects food deserts, fast-changing neighborhoods and Raleigh’s oldest historic districts. “In a city like Raleigh, we see there’s disparity,” said White. “There are some people without opportunities and some people with a lot of opportunities co-existing really close together. A food desert can be a good place to start talking about the needs that exist here.” The term food desert is used to describe areas with low income and low access to food based off of the number of grocery stores and a variety of factors such as high unemployment, low access to transportation and negative health outcomes like diabetes and obesity. “In Raleigh you’ll find food deserts all over the place. In addition to southeast Raleigh, you have small pockets north of downtown and in southwestern Raleigh where those same qualities come together,” said White. “There’s a difference between the USDA term based off of censustracked boundaries and what you see out on the street.”

Together with a leadership board of eight area non-profits, White’s team set out to make connections to benefit both residents and businesses. “The Food Corridor is a connecting tool that connects potential resources with other potential resources,” he said. “Can we develop urban agriculture enterprises and marketing channels up the Food Corridor so they can sell to downtown businesses, connecting the resources with the products?” Six months into its planning, it became clear the movement needed a tangible way to promote its mission. That’s when Second Saturday was born. “Second Saturday is a vehicle to bring energy and tangible projects to the Corridor,” explained White. “The Corridor itself is a lot of ideas and a little theoretical, and Second Saturday is a way to bring people to the place to connect them, host conversations, build gardens, celebrate that we can all be here together, generate new ideas. It’s the monthly day that happens.” In its third year, the monthly event is still evolving. Similar in set-up to the arts-focused First Friday event, Second Saturday occurs every month between April and November around downtown Raleigh and includes a wide variety of food-related events ranging from historic preservation talks and foodie film screenings to cocktail how-tos and front porch art sales. Each month focuses on seasonal items, like July 9th’s blackberries and tomatoes theme and the August 13th focus on watermelon and okra. “One of my favorite Second Saturday events from last year that we’re planning on doing again this summer is the Blackberry Brigade, in collaboration with the Piedmont Picnic Project,” said Jennifer Truman, the event and media

Using local ingredients, downtown eatery Centro worked with the Boys and Girls Club to create a Second Saturday DIY salsa stand.

coordinator at Community Food Labs. “They created maps for teams to forage for blackberries and compete for the most poundage. We sold the berries to local chefs and the money was donated to a non-profit.” In addition to interactive events hosted by museums, non-profits, residents and urban gardeners, downtown businesses have participated with unique food offerings. Videri Chocolate makes a special chocolate only available during the event, and in 2015 Centro partnered with the Boys and Girls Clubs to make a DIY salsa stand on the sidewalk outside the restaurant using local ingredients. This year, the team hopes to ramp up community conversations around key food issues like technology, accessibility and composting, to connect residents and businesses, and better measure the financial impact and attendance of the monthly collection of events, while keeping with its core mission of connection and collaboration. “A lot of people come to downtown Raleigh to eat at restaurants and experience a cool foodie scene,” said Truman. “What we do with Second Saturday, through fun workshops and other events, is bring it back full picture to see how food works, see where the gaps are and talk about how to fill them in.”

Je Ne Sais Quoi Downtown Restaurants With That Certain Something By Jenni Hart

You can’t have a great dining-out experience without good food and prompt, thoughtful service. But what makes a meal truly memorable? Although the French term je ne sais quoi refers to those qualities that defy description, a few of our favorite downtown restaurants are worth the effort. lucettegrace My first visit to lucettegrace, I sat in a sunny window on a perfectly crisp spring morning, sipping a refreshing iced chai tea latte and enjoying a rare, uninterrupted hour catching up with an old friend. I patted myself on the back for ordering the Dixie Cannonball – a hearty cheddar biscuit filled with savory sausage gravy – but was equally nourished by the bright energy of the space. When I returned a few weeks later, this time with a sweet tooth, my first bite of Candy Bar Cake spoiled me for every dessert I’d ever tasted that was too heavy and cloyingly sweet. Nostalgic for the patisseries I’d been to in Nice, Cannes and Vienna, I added lucettegrace on South Salisbury Street to my growing list of favorite downtown spots.

midtownmag.com | 109

Joule Coffee + Table If it is possible to fall in love with a space, I’m downright smitten with Joule Coffee & Table. The building itself will mark its hundredth year in 2017, and Joule’s front of house is the perfect marriage of light industrial and vintage aesthetic. Exposed ductwork is suspended below tin ceiling squares, bookending the near-century span of 223 South Wilmington Street. The lighting is soft and nicely diffused. And even during the busiest times, I’ve been seated with a companion in the main dining area and still enjoyed an easy conversation without too much ambient noise or bustle. The staff is always warm and friendly, with just the right level of attentiveness. The menu is imaginative without being trendy. Uncle Alex’s Cubano is possibly the best sandwich I’ve ever had, and every item I’ve tried on the brunch menu has been exquisite: Make sure to sample the hotcake. But I’ve saved the best for last. One of my favorite times of day to stop into Joule is around 3pm, when you can still order from the lunch menu, but the pace is laid-back and the pre-cocktail vibe is strong. I like to sit in the front window and order an iced pourover coffee, watch dogs walking their people, 110 | midtownmag.com

and pretend to read a book or work on my laptop. From 1940 to the mid-1990s, a pawnshop occupied the Joule property. As I sip, I like to imagine all the wheeling and dealing that went down here, along with the advent of US involvement in World War II, the birth of rock ‘n’ roll, the civil rights movement, and economic booms and busts that a pawn and loan business must have felt acutely. On most days, by the time the iced coffee cylinder in my glass has melted, I’ve spent just enough time daydreaming and dog-watching that the task of heading home to make dinner and help with homework seems infinitely less daunting. The Mecca A weekday lunch or late-night bite at the Mecca Restaurant on East Martin Street consistently delivers comforting fare at prices that defy the expectation most folks have for a downtown destination. But I return time and again for the sheer charm and nostalgia of the place. The shotgun layout and floor-mounted barstools are quintessential American diner décor; the wood paneling and vintage silver-backed mirrors flank booth seating to the left. The Mecca opened in 1930 and has operated in the current

location since 1937, when men’s clothing stores were called haberdasheries, and you could walk into a dime store and purchase something worthwhile for ten cents. Four generations of the Dombalis family have contributed to its venerable reputation as a Raleigh landmark. With all the new construction and freshened-up facades in downtown, the Mecca holds a singular appeal for those who appreciate history. The next time you’re out late and you’re leaving a show or heading home from a party, don’t even think about drive-thru tacos. The Mecca serves sandwiches and soups Monday through Wednesday until midnight, and Thursday through Saturday until 2am Breakfast, lunch and dinner are also served, with the restaurant opening at 7:30 each morning, Monday through Saturday. 42nd Street Oyster Bar 42nd Street Oyster Bar is another downtown dining destination where the experience of the whole is greater than its parts. Longtime Raleigh resident Peyton Hatfield stops in with her husband, Scott, about once a month for a peck of steamed oysters and a beer. She says the oyster bar is always packed with others who crave the same indulgence, and the festive atmosphere tends to spark friendly conversation with interesting people. “Oysters

are the perfect food,” Hatfield says. “One ingredient, prepared simply; add a beer and it’s perfect!” Seafood lovers will have a hard time deciding from among the bountiful offerings of fresh, in-season menu items, and steak, chicken and pasta dishes and scrumptious desserts ensure every guest in your party will be happy with their meal. The classic, elegant setting, spirited atmosphere, and live music on the weekends keep 42nd Street consistently on the list of downtown favorites.

What is

TMJ or TMD? by Tracy Davidian DDS, PA, Physiologic Aesthetics, Carolina TMJ & Facial Pain Center

What is TMJ or TMD? Most people call problems of their jaw TMJ. However, TMJ actually refers to the joint itself. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is a term describing dysfunction of muscles of mastication (muscles that move the jaw) and the temporomandibular joints. There are many symptoms associated with this disorder, which people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t automatically think of being related to their jaw joints. TMD Symptoms The most common symptoms are pain and restricted mandibular movement, and noises from the TMJ (like pops or clicks) during jaw movement. Other symptoms can be tinnitus, clogged ears, headaches, neck pain, grinding, clenching, fracturing of teeth, or head and face pain. Some people experience

many symptoms, as TMD is a complex disorder that is thought to be caused by multiple factors. Although TMD is not life-threatening, it can definitely affect a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life. Ringing in the Ears Many patients who have TMJ pain also have ringing or congestion in their ears, and sometimes there is no pain present. Causes may be due to improper alignment of the joint and your ear canal. When the joint is compressed against the fossa this compression pushes on your ear canal, which can cause symptoms such as ringing in the ears, congestion, or ear pain. By decompressing the joint with either a removable or fixed orthotic, you will be able to decrease the pressure on your ear canal, thereby eliminating, or significantly reducing or

even eliminating the ringing in the ear, congestion or pain. Muscle Pain and Trigger Points A muscle trigger point is a specific point on a muscle, which when stimulated by touch, pain or pressure can give rise to a characteristic referred pain, tenderness, motor dysfunction or autonomic phenomena. Trigger points can often refer pain to different areas, and are commonly mistaken for headaches or other pain issues such as toothaches. TMD Treatment Options Treatment options for TMD can include exercises, spray and stretch, neuromuscular massage, ultrasound, biofeedback, iontophoresis, TENS (transcutaneous electoneuro stimulation), trigger point therapy, medicinal, orthotics (bite splints), braces, and/or porcelain crowns.

Collaboration

Cooperation

Best Outcomes

Over a period of three years, Raleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three major hospitals have brought new leaders on board. Donald Gintzig, a retired naval rear admiral, became president and CEO at WakeMed in 2013. David Zaas moved from Duke University Hospital to become president of Duke Raleigh in July 2014. And Steve Burriss moved up from COO to president at UNC Rex Healthcare last year. In the past, relations between these three complex institutions have been highly competitive. Now, the changing economics of health care and, perhaps, the philosophies of these leaders have altered the dynamics between their facilities. By Julie Johnson

What are the biggest challenges hospitals are facing?

Burriss: One important challenge facing hospitals nationwide is the shift from taking care of sick patients to keeping people well, which requires a major change to our mindset. More than ever, hospitals are being held accountable for their outcomes, but that accountability now extends to patient behaviors and decisions when they are not in one of our facilities. We have to help prevent what is preventable, better manage what is ongoing, and engage the patient in managing his/her own health. Gintzig: We believe in the shift toward a system of health and a culture that keeps people healthy and reduces the incidence of illness, injury and disease. Additionally, we are focused on areas that are challenging the health care industry as a whole: increasing quality, safety and services while decreasing costs. Zaas: We have higher expectations than we’ve ever had before around improving quality, safety and patient experience, all in the face of lower reimbursement for the services we provide, as well as a much greater degree of scrutiny from the media and the public. What medical advances do you find most exciting?

Burriss: The biggest advancement at UNC Rex during the next few years will be the opening of the new heart and vascular hospital on our main Raleigh campus. We expect the eightstory building will open and begin treating patients in early 2017. We’re proud to participate in research that could lead to the next generation of treatments or devices, such as stem cell therapy and biodegradable stents to open up blood vessels. The second initiative is Rex Health Ventures, an investment fund that we started in 2012 to partner with companies and organizations focused on innovations in health care. By investing in and partnering with other companies, UNC Rex supports the development of new treatments, tools,

products and services that improve the provision of health care. Gintzig: Telemedicine and its role in helping the health industry achieve transformative improvements. As applications become more mainstream, the growth of telemedicine creates more opportunities for direct patient impact. We continue to expand our WakeMed eCare offerings for patients with services that enhance access to quality care, improve patient outcomes and manage capacity and costs. Zaas: Personalized medicine – using the genetics of the individual to understand their response to specific therapies, allowing you to pick therapies that are more effective – is exciting. Some of those advancements have led to better survival and less costly therapies, as well as fewer side effects. The personalized advances that we’re seeing, especially in cancer as well as in other chronic diseases, are really exciting. What are our best options for controlling health care costs?

Burriss: Unfortunately, we are spending too much money treating

illness that is preventable. Our biggest opportunity is to help individuals better manage their health, but the results of these efforts may not materialize for years. In the meantime, innovation is one key to controlling costs. In addition, we work with UNC and other affiliated hospitals across the state to share best practices, care and service. Gintzig: Better coordination and collaboration are key to improving quality, affordability and overall health. One example is the implementation of the Epic electronic health record system, a tool that helps improve how we deliver the highest quality patient care while driving down costs. With all Triangle-area health systems now operating on Epic, we are able to more effectively communicate and share information, which has meant less duplication, safer care and a more seamless continuum of care. Zaas: We need to focus on making sure that the right patient gets the right care in the right sort of location of service. We know we have patients and populations that use our emergency rooms and expensive sites of care, and we’re working with our community partners to figure out how midtownmag.com | 117

David Zaas (Duke Raleigh), Steve Burriss (UNC REX Healthcare), Donald Gintzig (WakeMed)

we can provide that care closer to home in lower-cost settings. I think it’s also fair to say that we believe that the expansion of coverage in some form to all citizens of North Carolina would be a benefit for the health of our community and for our health systems. Without stepping into the political battle around how we achieve that, it’s really important for all of us to state that access to health care services and coverage is important for everyone, and we ought to work together to get there. How do you see your institution’s relationship with the Raleigh community?

Burriss: UNC Rex has been an integral part of Raleigh and beyond for more than 120 years. We work closely with a wide range of community partners including Wake County, the city of Raleigh, local towns, and multiple non-profit organizations to improve access to care, provide prevention and education programs, and more. We are helping tackle major problems in our community, such as behavioral health care, and access to care for everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. UNC Rex invests more than $2 million annually to assist UNC Health Care in operating the UNC WakeBrook campus, which treats individuals suffering from behavioral and mental health crises. The UNC Rex mammography screening program includes two mobile units that travel to community health clinics and other sites across Wake County and beyond to improve access for underserved women, many without insurance. Gintzig: WakeMed is of the community, 118 | midtownmag.com

by the community and for the community. As a community leader and as a community asset since 1961, we are committed to making a positive impact on the people we serve. Our organization’s efforts focus not only on providing exceptional patient care when it is needed, but on the initiatives, outreach efforts and partnerships that directly benefit the health, well-being and quality of life of the Raleigh community. Zaas: Duke is relatively new to the Raleigh community. We’ve changed our name in the last year from “Duke Medicine” to “Duke Health” to focus on how the business of hospitals and health care systems has changed. As we focus on the health of the community as our primary goal, those community partnerships become more and more important, because a lot of the barriers to health aren’t just care delivery: they are the socioeconomic determinants that limit people’s ability to get care. We’re truly committed to making Wake County and the Triangle the healthiest community in the state and in the region. What are the biggest strengths your hospital brings to any collaborative effort with the other two major hospitals?

Burriss: We routinely work with Raleigh’s other two hospitals on a number of community-wide initiatives. We collaborate and jointly fund (with other organizations) the Wake County Community Health Needs Assessment. We have a group that meets regularly to discuss caring for those in our community who suffer from behavioral health issues and finding ways to keep them out of our emergency departments. We believe there are opportunities to

work together in clinical areas to better serve our community, such as the prevention and treatment of strokes. Gintzig: I’m a strong believer in bringing together our strengths and resources for the greater good of the community. For instance, our more than 40-year history working together with UNC to educate the next generation of health care professionals. Our collaboration with Duke Medicine improved access to pediatric care and pediatric specialists for children and families in Wake County and the greater Triangle area. Beyond the Triangle, WakeMed is also part of a shared services collaborative with Vidant Health and Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center that brings together our collective talents and best practices to improve quality and affordability for all North Carolina patients. Zaas: We’re fortunate to live in a community that has three great health systems that really do work well together, and I think we’re all committed to similar values. Duke tries to bring this community the real advantages of a world-class academic medical center and a world-class university, and a level of care and access to services that’s uncommon and special. Our goal is to bring that level of outstanding care, innovation and commitment to education here to Wake County in an area that’s closer to where people live. I think we also bring a commitment to working together with our partners to focus on improving the health of the community as our primary goal, and a focus on patients and families. I think it’s a great partnership between the community and all of our health systems.

2016BESTDOCTORS >>> Chiropractic

Atlas Chiropractic of raleigh Brea, Kristy, Dr. Boccella, Carol, Michelle

With over 20 years of experience in the Triangle, Dr. John Boccella offers modern chiropractic care to restore proper spinal alignment without forceful manual manipulation by utilizing the Atlas Orthogonal technique.

10931 Strickland Road, Suite 131, Raleigh, NC 27615 919.518.1234 AtlasChiroRaleigh.com

When the Atlas (the top bone in the neck) is out of alignment, your entire body becomes out of balance and misaligned. An Atlas misalignment may result in nerve pressure and inflammation, causing a disruption of the normal function of the nervous system. This dysfunction may play a major role in a variety of symptoms and pain in different areas of the body. The Atlas adjustment is non-invasive, painless and highly effective.

How Food Changed Raleigh Watercolor and Text by Frank Harmon, FAIA ABOUT Everyday Places takes a close look at Raleigh’s urban fabric and its under-appreciated areas that are essential to a healthy city.

Not so long ago, Raleigh was a chicken and gravy kind of town, where a good restaurant meal started with a shrimp cocktail and ended with strawberry cheesecake. To get a more eclectic meal you had to go to New York City or Washington, DC. No more. Raleigh’s downtown is now a culinary mix of wine bars, breweries, coffee shops, and funky dinner spots in a city that once featured cafeterias and Jello dessert. Keeping up with new restaurants is now a hobby and Raleigh has become a culinary destination, written about in The New York Times and The Washington Post. And better food is leading to the transformation of downtown. Raleigh’s downtown suffered over the last three

decades of the 20th century. Shopping centers and office parks stole much of its population, and Fayetteville Street was converted into a pedestrian mall. This left a stock of unused low-rent buildings available to a new generation of chefs and restaurateurs who were willing to experiment. Now the mall is gone, people are living downtown, restaurants prosper and, most importantly, the city is alive with people day and night. Which means it’s also a safer city. “This is something everyone knows: A wellused street is apt to be a safe street,” wrote urban critic Jane Jacobs. “A deserted street is apt to be unsafe.” You can still get chicken and gravy downtown, but it’s likely to be prepared with buttermilk and honey with a side of macaroni au gratin.
