Local businesses are instrumental in making the event hum. “Kim Fitzwater at Food Services of America plays a huge role in organizing food donations,” Holen says. “Our main sponsor, U.S. Bank, has been with us for four years. Darlene Felkins, Executive Director at United Way, is incredibly vital to our success. This event wouldn’t exist without her.” The 2012 event will be feast for the senses. 2011 winners Newman and Leroux will again be teammates and “draw knives” with a team made of chefs from 2011 People’s Choice Award Winners Astoria Coffeehouse & Bistro and Stephanie Inn. The two teams will compete for the Iron Chef Goes Coastal title. “Part of the fun is that no one knows who (Newman and Leroux) will be teamed with or against,” Holen says. “It adds an element of surprise.” As with every good meal, dessert plays an important role. Attendees cast votes for the People’s Dessert Choice, where local pastry chefs compete for Best Dessert of Clatsop County. “I hope everyone comes hungry,” Holen says. Another fun aspect is a judge’s chair auctioned to the highest bidder. The guest judge then visits each restaurant and casts his or her vote for the 2012 People’s Choice Award Winner. “We’ve had celebrity judges, like (state) Sen. Betsy Johnson, but we wanted to give attendees a chance to join the action,” Holen says. Most importantly, the Iron Chef event benefits local charities. “People are justifiably cautious about donating money,” Holen says. “What’s great

According to Holen, in 2011 the event raised almost $30,000. The idea of using what they do for a living to benefit their community is a huge draw for Holen and Newman. “I think it’s wonderful that the industry I work in comes together so willingly,” Holen says. “It’s rewarding to see people give of themselves to make this succeed. It makes me proud to do what I do.” Newman agrees. “As a young chef, I imagined myself cooking rich food for rich people,” he laughed. “Now, I make a living doing what I love, and it gives me the opportunity to give back. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

New in Town
BY COAST WEEKEND EDITOR REBECCA SEDLAK • rsedlak@dailyastorian.com
Introducing the
NEW
mouth OF THE COLUMBIA
COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW mouth@coastweekend.com
Look for the Mouth’s first column next week, Nov. 15, in Coast Weekend
S
ince I’ve become Coast Weekend editor (eight weeks ago, but who’s counting?), I’ve been asked the same question multiple times: “Where is the Mouth of the Columbia?” For the past few weeks, Coast Weekend has been searching for a new Mouth columnist. In the meantime, the weekly dining column has featured contributions from various writers, who kindly filled in while we looked for the right person. I hope you enjoyed the recipes and seasonal food tips that our former news reporter Deeda Schroeder wrote (and tested!) for us, as well as the wine column by Bridgewater Bistro owner Tony Kischner. I’m pleased to announce that our “new” Mouth will debut in Coast Weekend’s Nov. 15 issue. So be sure to check back next week to read the first review. In choosing a new columnist, it was important to us to find a good fit for the Mouth position. When we made the announcement that Coast Weekend was looking for a new food reviewer, our office was inundated with people in the community who wanted the job. After wading through the sea of applicants, we narrowed it to five finalists – and sent them out to local restaurants to see if they had the chops to fill the spot. Then, after sizing up their test reviews and conducting some interviews, we came to a decision. The Mouth of the Columbia position has only been held by three people. The name originated with the late Richard Fencsak, the first 10 | November 8, 2012 | coastweekend.com
Mouth, and we’ve kept it because it conveys eating, communicating and our geographical location in a short and sweet byline. The Mouth dines and writes anonymously to guarantee fair treatment and write honest reviews. As the fourth holder of the title, our new Mouth comes from a family of good cooks and has worked with food in various avenues in the food industry, including waiting on tables, bussing tables, prep cooking and working as a barista. The Mouth’s knowledge is mainly self-taught, but that doesn’t mean the Mouth’s enthusiasm level isn’t exponential. “I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t interested in food,” the Mouth said. “To me, food means so many things. The first thing is love. I love food in the same way that an artist loves his canvas or a musician loves her piano ... Food also means family, friends and community. Perhaps the only ritual shared by all of humankind is that we all have to eat, and when we do, we seem to like doing it socially. In this fast-paced world, it makes me sad that shared mealtimes with family and friends have been replaced by eating on the go. To me, there is nothing better than good food being shared in the company of friends and family.” When reviewing a restaurant, the Mouth will consider several factors, such as atmosphere, service, alternative options like vegetarian or vegan dishes, price and – of course – the food itself. “Life is too short for mediocre food. Food is a celebration, not
Coast Weekend editor Rebecca Sedlak
just sustenance. It’s to be prepared well and enjoyed,” the Mouth said. “When I visit a restaurant, I ask myself two questions: ‘Is the dining experience worth the price I’m paying?’ and ‘Could I make this better at home?’ Dining out can turn into a costly endeavor, and I don’t think any of us can really afford to spend money on bad food or poor service,” the Mouth said. “When we go out to eat, we want to know that we’re spending our money wisely. I know not everybody is a home gourmet, but at the same time, why go out to eat if it’s not better than what you can make at home? “I believe that every restaurant, even those that may not receive high marks in every category, has something good to offer. I feel it’s my job to uncover those ‘somethings’ and share them with readers,” the Mouth said. “Like most people, I’m somewhere between food snob and food slob. I believe five-star food at an elegant restaurant has a place, just as corn dogs at the state fair do.” – The Mouth As someone who considers herself a bit of a foodie, I’m excited to interact with a food writer, and I’m proud that our publication offers this type of criticism and culture to the Coast community. On a personal note, I’ve been interested in food and cooking since high school, when I was diagnosed with several mild and moderate food allergies, including gluten, eggs and cow’s milk (don’t feel too sorry for me; I’m known to bake a mean gluten-free and vegan cupcake). I have a blog (facooking.wordpress.com) where I test recipes, explore the kitchen and play the substitution game. Join me in welcoming our new Mouth. Whether you agree with the Mouth, disagree, have questions or want to suggest a restaurant to review, we want to hear from you; send emails to mouth@daily astorian.com. As someone new to the area myself, I’m looking forward to seeing what restaurants the Mouth recommends.

all is harvest season – a time to celebrate the bounty of our lives, particularly those gifts from the earth. And what better way is there to show Mother Earth we appreciate her offerings than by shopping for that Thanksgiving meal at local farms that are treating her right.

Though the farmers market Stokhouse Farm participates in is closed for the season, a variety of produce and poultry are still available at the farm for harvest and pick-up. RIGHT TOP.

Slow Food
Anyone with a backyard garden knows that the trick to growing delicious produce is in the soil. Petro-chemicals give veggies a rush of energy, but they burn out the microbes and other elements in the soil that create its long-term fertility. Mass-produced tomatoes are picked green and grown to withstand transport in large truckloads. But homegrown, heirloom tomatoes – such as the ones local farmer Fred Johnson tends in one of his covered greenhouses – are bursting with flavor and nearly as sweet as apples. Johnson left the world of restauranteuring to get on the other end of the food chain. Now he wields his chef knives in a big farm kitchen on his 80 acres beside the Naselle River in Washington. Farmer Fred’s philosophy is “feed the soil, and it will feed you.” That can be a slow process, but you can taste the difference.
Community of Stewards On the North Coast we are graced with a growing community of farmers who are growing certified-organic produce and naturally raised livestock. They have a commitment to use few or no pesticides or herbicides and to treat both the soil and livestock with respect. The Zimmerman family – Tom, April and the “Veggie Girls”: Abigail, Grace, Chloë and Emma – tend 37 acres of the Glory B Farm in Grays River, Wash. Their produce is offered at local farmers markets and is also available at the Astoria Cooperative. (Don’t leave Fido out of the celebration: Emma also makes yummy dog treats.) Puget Island is another enclave of organic consciousness. Two couples who thought they were moving to the country to retire have taken up the issue of local, sustainable food. “Rob and I bought this place and had no intention of doing what we’re doing now,” says Diane Stockhouse of Stockhouse Farm. “We’ve lived here since we retired in 2004-05, but prior to that I was in high-tech in Hillsboro, and Rob was a college professor at Pacific University in botany. Now we just love to grow things. “I still grow veggies like you would in your own personal garden, only on a little larger scale. But I don’t have acres of any one thing,” Stockhouse continues. “Everything is grown in small quantities. I plant many times over the year so I have a constant supply of produce.” And “supply” is the key word. Diane runs down the list of what the Stockhouse garden is still producing: carrots, different kinds of winter squash including delicatta and butternut, beets, rutabaga, kale and chard, some fennel, kohlrabi, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and, she says, “We still have artichokes—this has been a phe-
nomenal year for artichoke. We’ve probably picked over a 1,000 – they just won’t stop!” “We also have sage, parsley, rosemary,” she continues, “potatoes, apples, pears, quince. We’ve had various onions this year including Walla Walla sweets, storage onions, red onions, Cipollini, garlic, scallion, shallot and leeks.” Across a slew from Stockhouse Farm are Mike and Kim Howell and their Little Island Farm. Howell retired from Bonneville Power Administration, and the couple found land on the island as retirement property. “It was just a pasture, and we built the whole thing,” Howell said. “It’s been a lot of work but also a lot of fun. We just finished our seventh year. I don’t believe there is such a thing as retirement – it’s all a big lie! – but I sure enjoy what we’re doing.” The Stockhouses and Howells met at a boat show and teamed up to create the Two Island Farms Market. The market closed at the end of October, but, as Stockhouse said, “We are still open at the farm if people want to give us a call, 360-8494145. Then we can talk about what you want and what we have. And I can make arrangements to harvest and pick for you.”
Rob Stockhouse tosses feed out to a variety of free-range birds, including turkeys, chickens, ducks and geese at Stockhouse Farm on Puget Island in Washington.

Thanksgiving Birds Stockhouse Farm also has turkeys, geese, ducks and chickens – a bountiful variety for that Thanksgiving centerpiece. And Little Island Farm has naturally pastured chickens and turkeys. Howell explains what naturally pastured means. “We’re raising heritage-breed turkeys, breeds that go way back. Not like those big doublebreasted birds you see in the grocery stores. Those birds can’t breed, they can’t lay eggs and they can no longer walk after about 11 weeks because their hip sockets just fall apart. “Naturally pasture-raised means our birds aren’t loaded with foreign materials, chemicals or salt water. They get good feed and no soy products. I guess the best way to put this is if you’re going to raise an animal for meat, it’s your responsibility to give it the best life you can for the short life it has. “Our birds will have a flavor difference too,” Howell continues. “First of all they have more dark meat than those double-breasted birds, and the meat is juicier.” The Howells do their own USDA-approved slaughtering and

No Thanksgiving meal would be complete without cranberries, and the Long Beach Peninsula, long-known for its berries, has another dynamic duo in town rocking the boat. Jessika Tantisook and Jared Oakes are raising organic cranberries on 10 acres in Long Beach, Wash. “We’re bucking the system,” said Tantisook who just completed her Master of Business Administration in sustainable business at Bainbridge Graduate Institute. “We hear all the time from farmers here that raising organic cranberries can’t be done. We’re doing it all at once – we’re new to cranberry farming, and we’re going organic. People think we’re crazy. “I think if some of the better growers on the Peninsula would choose to go organic they would probably do better than we are. But we’re learning everything we can, and part of our mission is to appreciate all the farmers here and help create change. We definitely want to work with the local community. When you start out, you have to earn respect.” Tantisook and Oakes are producing USDA-certified two-year transitional organic cranberries. They are focusing primarily on producing 100 percent organic cranberry juice, no sweeteners added, for high-end restaurants. But they will make available some of this year’s harvest for locals. “People can come by the farm, 15202 Birch Street in Long Beach, to pick up berries from November 5 through the 14,” said Jessika. “We’ll be around from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the price is $5 a pound.” So, if you want to support Mother Earth this Thanksgiving, support our local farmers who are putting their hearts into their work. Or, as that wise farmer and poet Wendell Berry said, “In any discussion of agriculture or food production, it would be hard to exaggerate the importance of love. No doubt there are people who farm without it, but without it nobody will be a good farmer.”

anglers. Set in Pacific City, the play opens with the Blessing of the Fleet, an annual event that kicks off the fishing season, and it references local landmarks such as Haystack Rock and the former Sunset West Restaurant and Bar. The production touches on environmental regulations, fishery management practices, gender issues and tensions between loggers and fishermen. “We had so much great material from all the interviews,” said Chris Forrer, a senior theater major at Linfield College who co-authored the play with Linfield Professor Jackson Miller. “People who fish always have great stories. This is an intriguing piece of Oregon culture. Thirty or 40 years ago Pacific City was one of the top fishing ports on the West Coast. They’re out there catching so many fish that when they run the boat into the sand it just sinks because it’s so heavy.” Miller said the process of gathering the material gave them
—Ken and Elaine Aubrey
a vivid and intimate picture of life in Pacific City and in the dory community. “As a playwright, it’s been a unique opportunity,” he said. “It struck me how much fishing has impacted the people and how deeply personal some of their experiences are.” “Being a dory fisherman is no easy task,” Miller said. “They’ve all had experiences
where they felt fearful for their lives. Almost everyone has a story about a big storm or mechanical problem or even seeing a shark, and they’re mindful of the risk when they go out to sea. We heard one story about fishermen who went out in their dory and spread the ashes of a friend who had died the season before. When you hear those kinds of stories it’s impossible not to be
moved by them.” The play is sponsored by the Pacific City Arts Association and Pacific City Dorymen’s Association, and also supported by an Arts Build Communities grant from the Oregon Arts Commission. Linfield College students make up the cast, and the production is directed by Linfield Theatre Arts Professor Janet Gupton.

Both men took 11 weeks on the trek, obsessed with circling the United States. Comparing and contrasting Steinbeck’s 1960 great Ameri-

No Shave November Beard growing contest at Fort George ASTORIA — It’s No Shave November at Fort George. The best beard after one November’s amount of beard growth wins an official “Bearded Mug” in the Fort George sold out Mug Club for the year. The culmination of No Shave November will take place Dec. 1 – “Mug Club Day” – as the vote for the No Shave November Champ takes place. Mug Club renewers will get their Mug Club Day mug fill on the house, with Customer Appreciation Day mug prices after that. There will be live entertainment and plenty of awkward beard growth. Who can grow the best facial hair in exactly 30 days? This is a celebration of manliness and all the glory that is the male beard. Let the best man win, although women are encouraged to participate. Rules: • One complete month of absolutely NO SHAVING ... PERIOD. • Contestants must have a picture of themselves, clean shaven, next to a Nov. 1, 2012 newspaper.
• Pictures are to be submitted via facebook.com/fortgeorge breweryandpublichouse, twitter.com/fortgeorgebeeror or no shavenovem ber@fort george brewery.com • Judging will take place Dec. 1 (Mug Club Day) at Fort George at 7 p.m. • Contestants must be present to win. • Grand Prize will be chosen by unanimous crowd vote. • Grand Prize? A special bearded Mug Club membership, and beard bragging rights for the year – a value of $85, but considered priceless. • Entertainment will be provided and consolation prizes will be awarded to the less beardly, un-stachely and prepubescent. • Amendments to 2012 – Employees will be judged separately. This is for the people and for the kids. Everyone in attendance receives one vote. Additional votes may be purchased for $1. Money will be donated to Locks of Love. ***All hair and proceeds will be donated to beardless children. After all, it’s all about the kids.
