BIG OAK HOT WINGS

Near the center of Bogue Banks, a barrier island off Morehead City, you pull into the parking lot of what looks like a 1960’s burger stand.

There’s no dining room, just a small easy-to-miss brick building. At the window, you place your order (trust us, make it a shrimpburger). The server writes the order on a paper sack, which soon will be handed out with your meal inside: fried shrimp, tartar sauce, coleslaw, and ketchup, all piled on a steamed bun.

Messy and totally yummy.

Simple Rules Wine & Food

W

alk into many wine and spirits stores, and you will likely encounter a dizzying array of selections. While wine selections at such stores were once limited to a few well-known brands, many niche and private wineries have begun to make their vintages available to a wider clientele, so now shoppers are treated to both familiar and less well-known options.

To novice diners, the vast array of wines and flavors can make selecting a bottle or two to accompany a meal a bit more challenging. But one need not be a master sommelier to find the right pairing. The following tips can help anyone select wines to go with their menu or the type of occasion.

depending on the region in which the grapes were grown. It is commonly described as crisp and fresh in flavor and is often recommended with sushi.

• Work from light to dark. Just as you begin a dinner service with some appetizers and salad before moving to heavier courses, the wine should follow suit. Select lighter wines to accompany the earlier course before opting for deeper, richer wines as the meal progresses.

• Hearty meats, such as steaks and chops, pair well with rich reds. Cabernet sauvignon and bordeaux are great when paired with meat. Malbec and shiraz can hold their own if meats are spiced and extremely flavorful.

• Consider champagne to accompany appetizers and opening courses. Champagne works particularly well with salty foods, which is why it is often a good match for hors d'oeuvres.

If you are planning a cocktail party or are out for hors d'oeuvres, you may want to choose champagne as your go to.

• Opt for sauvignon blanc when you do not want the flavor of the wine to be overwhelmed by the food. Sauvignon blanc works with early courses that pack a flavorful punch.

Sauvignon blanc can be grassy or tropical in flavoring, 10 | fork & spoon

• Match delicate seafood dishes with a light wine. Pinot grigio or chablis are delicately flavored and will pair well with seafood.

Fish that is served in a rich sauce may be better matched with a heartier chardonnay.

• Make rose your go-to wine when serving cheese. Although some cheeses work great with white or red, rose is typically a safe bet when serving cheese because of its acidity and fruity character, offering the best of both worlds.

• Rustic wines will work best with rustic recipes. Try to find a wine from the same region from which the meal originated.

Pinot noir is a light-bodied red wine that has full flavor and can work with many pasta dishes as well as earthy ingredients, such as mushrooms.

Though some people follow a strict personal code regarding wine pairings, your personal tastes should dictate what you ultimately serve. Experimentation can yield an unexpected flavor combination that complements the nuances of both the food and the wine.

For over a decade, Kathryn’s Bistro and Martini Bar has been leaving Emerald Isle diners raving night after night. Voted #1 Fine Dining on the Crystal Coast five years in a row, Kathryn’s remains Emerald Isle’s premier restaurant, drawing praise from both traveling visitors and grateful locals alike.

Kathryn’s success has been built upon its unrivaled menu, featuring fresh, local seafood and Certified Angus Beef. In addition to the menu, Kathryn’s offers nightly features, including innovative selections of beef, fish, and soft shell crabs.

While every menu item is sure to please, Kathryn’s Maryland Crab Cakes have become the restaurant’s signature entrée. Made with fresh, local lump crabmeat, even folks from Maryland (the owners’ home state before relocating to Emerald Isle in 1995) admit that Kathryn’s crab cakes are the best!

Kathryn’s also puts a twist on traditional southern cuisine with the Carolina Classic: Kathryn’s own version of shrimp and grits – a true southern favorite!

Kathryn’s is excited to announce an addition to the menu this year. After repeated requests from diners, Kathryn’s has added lobster to the menu. Diners no longer have to wait for lobster to be a nightly feature – they can come in and enjoy lobster every night of the week.

The upscale menu selections are not the only reason people keep coming back – Kathryn’s has become Emerald Isle’s favorite place to enjoy a martini. Housing over 30 different variations of martinis, including both exotic concoctions and the traditional favorites, you are sure to find something to suit your fancy. Kathryn’s offers an extensive selection of wines by the glass and bottle at a great value.

Owners Ken and Kathryn Ayre are thrilled to continue offering superior food alongside unparalleled employees.

“The expertise and loyalty of our team has contributed greatly to our long term success,” says Ken, who is very grateful for his employees – many of whom have been part of the team since the doors opened in June 2004.

More than ten years later, the family business is still first-class all the way. The combination of the relaxed, yet elegant atmosphere, superb food, and dedication creates a dining experience you do not want to miss!

Dining Out with P arents know taking kids out to eat requires patience. The sights and sounds of a restaurant can be overwhelming and distracting to children used to eating at home. Toddlers have not learned to control their impulses yet, and even schoolaged children may experience intermittent breakdowns when they are uncomfortable or not feeling well. But parents who want to take their tots out on the town can employ some easy steps to make eating out a fun excursion for everyone.

Practice

Daniel Post Senning, the great-grandson of etiquette expert Emily Post and co-author of “Emily Post’s Etiquette,” says parents can practice dining out by replicating the experience (as much as possible) at home.

Ask the children to use inside voices and exhibit proper behavior at the dinner table.

Remove children from the table if they misbehave and try again another time.

Parents can get their youngsters accustomed to dining out by gradually working their way up to more formal restaurants. Start by dining out at a place where table behavior or noise may be more tolerable, such as a fastfood restaurant, before moving on to a casual restaurant and then a nicer restaurant when kids can handle it.

Provide distractions

Many young children cannot sit still for long and may need a series of distractions to keep them entertained throughout meals. Pack a bag of tricks that includes toys, games, books, and even a digital device tuned to kids’ favorite programs.

Pick restaurants that do not have a long wait to get a seat so that kids’ patience has not worn thin before you even make it to the table.

A sightseeing walk around the restaurant also may be able to provide a welcome distraction until the food is ready.

Pack snacks

Although the goal may be to eat out, kids may not be as patient as adults when waiting for their meals to be delivered. Ask servers to bring out the kids’ meals when appetizers are served or think ahead and have some light 20 | fork & spoon

snacks, such as crackers or dry cereal, available to tame kids’ hunger pangs.

Choose restaurants wisely

Make concessions as to where and when you eat. Coordinate around nap times so children will be happy and well-rested.

Select restaurants that accommodate children. Ask to be seated out of the way just in case your son or daughter acts up.

This way you will not disturb other patrons.

Restaurants tend to be less busy right before dinner service and directly after.

If you can time your meals to these off-peak hours, it may make for a more enjoyable dining experience.

Offer plenty of praise

Always let children know when they are doing a great job and behaving well in a restaurant. Engage kids in conversation and keep them entertained. Boredom or attention-seeking behavior can make dining out with youngsters more difficult to manage.

A treat or a special reward (sticker or coloring book) can be offered to a child who behaves when dining out.

Be courteous and respectful

Many children will eventually act up in restaurants, and parents should respond to such instances as courteously as possible.

Apologize to those around you whom your child has disturbed. Remove your son or daughter from the area and take a few moments to help him or her calm down. If kids can’t be calmed down, ask that your meal be wrapped.

Remember to clean up after yourselves and thank the wait staff for any extra service, such as lugging a heavy high chair or providing extra silverware if kids drop any forks or spoons.

Don’t leave a large mess for the server, and tip accordingly.

Children grow accustomed to dining out over time. It may take some practice, but with the right planning, families can enjoy meals away from home.
