Wired sea glass is the centerpiece of this bespoke necklace

Turning Beach Treasures into Business Woman-owned and -operated business hand-makes memorable pieces from local sea glass Sea glass can easily be considered the treasure of Rhode Island beaches. What was once regular glass that has been eroded and weathered by the ocean, the frosted-looking find comes in various pastel shades, hidden among shells, rocks, and sand. It takes concentration and a keen eye to spot the fragments, but the focus can be rewarding. For Bristol’s Victoria Woolard, this is more than just a fun beach activity; it’s the foundation of her pandemic-born business. Woolard is founder and owner of Still Waters USA: a new small business that makes intricate jewelry and decor with local, hand-picked sea glass. It’s a one-woman show, with Woolard doing every part of material collection, design, production, and distribution on her own. “My goal is for the pieces to not just be intricate and beautiful for people, but also to share the beauty and peace of being by the water and in the environment,” Woolard says, and the effort behind her products is a testament to this desire. While other companies will always outsource or get man-made sea glass, Woolard personally picks nearly all her pieces from RI and CT beaches. “I pride myself on it being real, authentic sea glass,” she states, and makes her business even more unique by customizing pieces by request. “Someone will reach out to me and ask if I can make a specific or new product, and I’ll make it,” she says, adding, “we will incorporate people’s own sea glass if they request it and turn it into a memorable piece.” Woolard will even source sea glass from either state if customers have a preference, and when it comes to gift-giving, she offers a “message in a bottle” that can accompany the piece. She also places care instructions that describe how to clean and care for jewelry in every package, ensuring that pieces last. It may be surprising that this intricate and thorough process was completely self-taught. When the pandemic hit, Woolard was a healthcare worker with a new preemie at home, and she and her husband turned to the beach as a safe escape with their newborn. “I was finding tons of sea glass at the time. I just had so much sea glass that I was accumulating and didn’t really know what to do with it, and my husband was like, why don’t you see about crafting jewelry? Everything was self-taught, so I went online, started learning, and started to teach myself how to do it.” Psalm 23:2-3 inspired the Still Waters USA name, and the business was established. With products coming directly from the environment, maintaining sustainable practices is important to Woolard. Glass collection plays a role in beach cleanup, and she makes sure her packaging is recyclable and easily reusable. Her environmentally friendly products can easily be purchased on her Etsy site, by messaging Still Waters USA on Facebook or Instagram (@stillwatersusa), or by emailing her at stillwatersusa@gmail. com. Woolard can also be found at outdoor markets in the warmer months, with locations advertised on Facebook and Instagram. Photo courtesy of Stillwaters USA The Bay • August 2021 9

By Nina Murphy

The Lure of the Water Bob Sousa of Bristol recounts how fly fishing has impacted his life Bristol’s Robert J. Sousa spent more than 30 years as a Fisheries Scientist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. He has made it his life’s work to promote environmental conservation. The Vietnam veteran and URI graduate who has a PhD in Biological Sciences is the author of The 24 Greatest Flies You Don’t Leave Home Without and Learn To Fly Fish in 24 Hours: An Hour by Hour Start-Up Guide. Sousa created the Fly Fishing Merit Badge for the Boy Scouts and was the lead writer for the Merit Badge series: Fishing, Fly-Fishing, Fish & Wildlife Management. He currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Boy Scout National Fishing Committee and is Vice Chair Emeritus – BSA National Fishing Committee of the American Fisheries Society. He was the 2013 recipient of the Scouts’ prestigious William T. Hornaday Gold Medal, which recognizes major contributions to and service in environmental conservation. FINDING PEACE: In Vietnam during a monsoon I just needed to go fishing. I had a stick, string, and paperclip. It wasn’t about catching fish, it was about going fishing. Chaos around me. You do stupid stuff to stay sane in an insane environment. ENCOURAGING INCLUSION: I recently updated the Fish and Wildlife Merit Badge booklet. [Merit badges are updated every five years.] My effort is to ensure a gender-neutral text as well as using numerous photos of young women (and young men) doing a broad array of fish and wildlife management activities.

LASTING MEMORY: A scout had cancer and his Make a Wish was to get his fly fishing merit badge. There are 10 requirements. No problem. I can teach casting and fishing at the

same time. He caught a fish and then a couple more. He was looking up at me trying to give me a smile. He completed all 10. I heard the ambulance come, which took him to the hospital where he died. I put the last smile on this kid’s face. That’s why this stuff means so much to me and why we volunteers do what we do.

HOMETOWN ASSET: Bristol has a beautiful resource on all three sides and environmentally you have to invest in that. Everybody who buys a fishing rod or motor boat fuel pays a tax on those purchases and everybody doing that is making a contribution.

CAPTURED AUDIENCE: The Boy Scouts is the largest youth program in the country. At the annual jamboree we attracted 50,000 kids to the fishing venue. I saw it as an opportunity to give kids a fishing rod, get them excited about fishing as a way to stay off the streets and away from guns, while teaching them about conservation and doing something good for the environment.

As blue-green algae threatens RI waters, Newport neighbors work to heal a troubled pond Almy Pond in Newport is among the unhealthiest bodies of water in Rhode Island, plagued by blue-green algae that makes the pond dangerous for people and pets. But a local group hopes to change that with an ambitious strategy to tackle annual algae blooms.

Nearly every week, Jim Chace samples the water at the outlet site where Almy Pond flows out toward Bailey’s Beach, a private beach club in Newport

The Bay • August 2021

We walked to an outlet site where water trickles out of the pond. Chace unzipped his bag and took out several bottles, which he then carefully filled with water from the meager stream. Dissolved oxygen is an important test, since algae blooms can lead to lower oxygen levels, Chace said. He took the sample and added a chemical that’s supposed to react with oxygen to turn the water a dark yellow. But the color barely changed. “That’s crazy. So normally, this is like a deep amber,” he said. “I mean, there may be really no oxygen, essentially, measurable in that water.”

Blue-green algae blooms typically happen later in the summer, when temperatures are warmer. So it’s not a good sign to measure such low oxygen levels so early in the season, Chace said. “Never have I seen it like this,” he said, examining the dissolved oxygen sample. “I’ve sampled for so many years in so many ponds around Aquidneck Island. At this point, this will always have some color.” This year, Almy Pond was the first body of water in Rhode Island to receive a health advisory from the state, warning the public to avoid contact because of blue-green algae.

On the day I met Dr. Jim Chace at Almy Pond, he warned me not to get too close to the water. The 50-acre pond in Newport was already experiencing a significant cyanobacteria bloom, also known as blue-green algae, which can release harmful toxins. The water was greyish green, like pea soup. Chace is a biologist and professor at Salve Regina University in Newport. He was there to test the water, as he does nearly every week, for various markers of the pond’s health: dissolved oxygen, phosphorus, E. coli, and more.

Jim Chace holds some loose biochar, a highly-absorbent type of charcoal being used to pull phosphorous and other nutrients from Almy Pond’s waters

The problem isn’t unique to Almy Pond. Last year, Rhode Island officials issued health advisories in 19 different bodies of water because of cyanobacteria blooms. And it’s a growing problem globally, said Jane Sawyers, a scientist with the state Department of Environmental Management. “More places are seeing more cyanobacteria,” said Sawyers. “It’s because of the increasing temperatures, stagnant water, changing precipitation, more nutrients in the water — so farming, fertilizers on your lawn, pet waste.” Phosphorus is a key nutrient that fuels

algae blooms in freshwater ponds. The United States banned the use of phosphates in laundry detergents back in the 1990s, but phosphorus is still found in fertilizers and animal waste — and typically reaches ponds through stormwater runoff. In Almy Pond, there is so much phosphorus built up in the sediment, the pond essentially pollutes itself. It’s called “internal cycling” — and it happens every year when the algae dies, is broken down by bacteria, and then releases phosphorus back into the water again. That means blue-green algae can still thrive,

even when the hundred-plus homes around Almy Pond have largely stopped using fertilizers with phosphorus and other contaminants. “That can be frustrating to people because they say, ‘Well, we did everything,’ or, ‘We’ve done a lot. Why isn’t it better?’” Sawyers said. “And it’s this internal cycling [that] can continue to feed itself for many years after the actions have happened.” That’s what the Watershed Protectors, a new coalition in Newport, is trying to disrupt. Back in May, the group came together to submerge 400 bags of biochar in the pond. Biochar is a special kind of highly-absorbent

charcoal. From the shore, the installation looks like a long line of lobster buoys, or the boundary of a swimming area. But under the surface, the bags of biochar are, hopefully, pulling phosphorus and other pollutants that fuel algae growth out of the water. In recent years, this low-tech method has been effective at cleaning up lakes in states like Colorado and New Jersey. But Almy Pond is the first place biochar is being used to tackle algae blooms in Rhode Island, said Sawyers. “It’s exciting to see something new, and to see if this is going to work for Almy Pond,” she said. Sawyers said the state’s strategy has focused on issuing recreational advisories, since contact with a harmful algae bloom can lead to vomiting, headaches, and rashes — and even worse symptoms in children

Four hundred “socks” of biochar were installed in Almy Pond during May. The bags, which are attached to a long rope and buoys, initially floated on the water before sinking below the surface.

and pets. But preventing algae blooms in the first place is much harder. Newport recently received a six-figure grant to remove a section of asphalt pavement near Almy Pond and restore the natural habitat to serve as a sort of buffer for runoff. But Sawyers says other, more high-tech solutions tried elsewhere — like treating water with a copper sulfate algaecide — aren’t necessarily effective in the long-term. And they can be very expensive. “It’s been a little bit of a stalemate. Mother Nature, and pollution, and the community have sort of had to repair to their corners, and it’s been that way for a very long time,” said Peter Kiernan, chairman of the Spouting Rock Beach Association Foundation, better known as Bailey’s Beach. Bailey’s Beach is one of Newport’s most exclusive, private beach clubs, and Almy Pond

flows directly onto it. Kiernan says that poses a public health hazard, since many people splash in the public waters off Bailey’s Beach — including the runoff from the pond. The club tests the bacteria levels in this area, and they’re often unsafe for swimming. Kiernan has been talking to the city about cleaning up Almy Pond for years, but it wasn’t until he learned about biochar that it started to feel financially feasible. “We were elated because instead of ten million or even tens of millions [dollars], you’re talking about tens of thousands,” he said. The total cost of the biochar study — about $40,000 dollars for the first two years — is being funded entirely through private donations, Kiernan said. The group spearheading the project, the Watershed Protectors, is a bit of a surprising partnership — between Bailey’s Beach (SRBA

Organizers say it could take a couple years to know if biochar is effective at tackling Almy Pond’s blue-green algae blooms. In the meantime, the City of Newport has also received a $180,000 grant to remove a section of asphalt pavement near the pond and restore the natural habitat.

Foundation), the Aquidneck Land Trust, Save The Bay, the Newport Tree Conservancy, the Preservation Society of Newport County, Salve Regina University, the Aquidneck Island Planning Commission, and the Eastern Rhode Island Conservation District. “We don’t agree on everything, doesn’t matter,” Kiernan said. “We all agree we want to try and fix Almy Pond.” Also unusual is the City of Newport’s role. While both city and state officials have okayed the biochar study, Newport is not responsible for organizing the project or paying for it — as some other municipalities have in states where biochar is being tested. But organizers say that has allowed them to try this promising but still experimental strategy, knowing the City of Newport won’t be out a penny if it doesn’t work.

Chace also says he thinks Almy Pond probably hasn’t been a top priority, since it’s not a source of drinking water and doesn’t flow out onto a public beach. “Where you’re gonna put your dollars for cleaning up the environment is going to go to other places,” he said. “So what does it take? It takes a community of people.” Organizers say it could take a couple years to know if biochar is effective at tackling Almy Pond’s blue-green algae blooms. In the meantime, the City of Newport has also received a $180,000 grant to remove a section of asphalt pavement near the pond and restore the natural habitat. Back at Almy Pond, Chace gears up in rubber boots, protective glasses, and an N95 mask before paddling a canoe into the algae bloom. He’s headed for the center of the pond, to take more samples and mea-

sure the murkiness of the water — a test of how much the algae has grown recently. It may take a couple years to know if the biochar is working or not, and there are questions about how replicable it would be in other Rhode Island ponds. But Chace is hopeful. Decades ago, locals used to skate on the pond in the winter, and sail and fish here in the summer. It was a place, like many bodies of water in Rhode Island, that meant something to people — and helped them connect with the environment. “None of that is happening now. It’s like a live sculpture — where you just sit there, if you look out your window, and you look at this beautiful water. You can’t touch it, you can’t go near it,” said Kiernan. “And so the question is: Why does it have to be this way?” Kiernan hopes the biochar project might show — it doesn’t.

The retired couple, who enjoy water skiing, wakeboarding, and paddle boarding, spend the warmest seasons based in Newport Harbor, traveling the waterways of the New England coast all summer long aboard their motor yacht. “Once it gets below 60 degrees we start the journey south down the Intracoastal Waterway where the winter destination is Key Largo.” Photography by Cate Brown, courtesy of Ally Maloney Winzer The Bay • August 2021 21

In contrast to nubby grasscloth bar stools, elegant pendant lamps hang in the kitchen area, and in the bathroom, colored glass hardware connects with glass and tile for a cohesive look that reflects both location and style.

Life & Style INFLUENCER

By Sascha Martin

Meet Jackie Ignall From Barrington via Brooklyn: the lifestyle blogger dishes on savoring her adopted state, one cup of coffee at a time

The name of your brand is Wander & Lash. Where did it come from? I started my editorial career as a travel writer and got to experience some amazing places, hence “Wander”. I then shifted gears and became a beauty editor, hence “Lash”. How do you keep your travel and beauty interests fed locally? I like to get coffee or a meal at local spots and check out the shops to see what they carry on their shelves. I also love to walk around and look at the homes and buildings. Which locations top your list of must-experience destinations near and far? I may be biased, but I do think New York City should be top on the list: the energy on the streets is like no other and you are guaranteed amazing food, hospitality, and great shopping. I love living so close to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. Also Yosemite National Park and Northern California: the landscapes are unbelievable in that part of the country and seeing the natural beauty of Yosemite blew me away. Thailand for its great food, scenery, history, amazing beaches, and top-notch hotels! What are your favorite spots around Little Rhody and why? I spend a lot of time in Warren. I love the restaurants, the waterfront, and how it has this quirky charm but also a Brooklyn vibe, which reminds me of back home. I love the clam shacks in the summertime, Bywater, and Square Peg. Spending time in Providence gives me that city fix when I need it and Newport is always a great spot – it has the perfect coastal vibe with a little-city feel. What are some of your favorite locally made beauty products? I love The Peyton Company, and some of the local candle brands such as Aster Candle and 62+Lex – both are hand-poured here in the Ocean State and make my home smell amazing. Does RI have any coffee or pizza comparable to NYC? If yes, do tell! Yes, Rhode Island does, and I do think the coffee is better here! I love all the unique coffee shops we have, especially Kaffeology in Portsmouth, The Nitro Bar in both Providence and Newport, Ceremony on Thayer Street, and The Shop on Wickenden Street. Nothing beats NY pizza, but there are a few standouts here such as Jeff’s Pizza in East Providence, Al Forno for their grilled pizzas, Providence Coal Fired, and Federal Hill pizza.

THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER Maximizze Rover’s enjoyment of Rhody’s hottest month by embarking on a dog-themed treasure hunt across the region BY BELINDA JONES August is like the Sunday of summer, with every back-to-school banner calling to make the most of the kind of fun you can only have in the warmest of seasons. With Fido leading the way, we start in Bristol, weave our way up through Warren and Barrington, get a little bit country in Tiverton and Little Compton, then set a course for Aquidneck Island. Whichever East Bay locale you and your pup explore, remember to take the time to relax, breathe in the fresh country or ocean air, and always stop to smell the dog roses!

BE A GOOD DOG

Friendly reminder to keep your furry friend on a leash while out exploring and to check for pet policy updates at the establishments you plan to visit – that way you won’t be on the receiving end of any sad puppy dog eyes.

Bristol

Few things in life are more satisfying than seeing your dog happy. If your pup is the type to slam down its furry butt at the merest hint of a treat, start by packing a picnic. Bristol’s Woof! Woof! Pet Boutique & Biscuit Bar (31 Bradford Street) has everything from Happy Dog Meal kits containing cheeseburger and fries-shaped treats to chicken-flavored dog beer, aka Cock-A-Doodle Brew. If you’ve got a hot dog on your hands, manager Jocelyn Turner will direct you to the freezer for frozen yogurt or encourage you to make your own bone-shaped icy treats: “Pour Blueberry Pom Burst goat milk into a silicone mold for the perfect combination of refreshment and nutrition,” advises Turner. With flapping flags and expansive water views, Independence Park on Thames Street Is a great picnic spot and a favorite stroll for locals Adrienne and Brian, who just adopted Husky-Golden mix Sophie from Bristol Animal Shelter (10 Minturn Farm Road). “We wanted to give our Lab a harmonious sibling experience, and the shelter staff were so patient about allowing us to make gradual introductions; they really care about making the right match.” The ultimate place to work off all these treats is the 464-acre wonderland of Colt State Park (Route 114). Dogs lap up the waterside walks and bike trail jogs but Kathy and her Shepherd-mix Bailey sometimes opt for a quieter stroll at the historic cemetery, where responsible dog owners are welcome to amble with their respectful pals. Regular hydration is also vital. At The Beehive Cafe (10 Franklin Street) your pup can enjoy a patio water break while you wash down Bacon and Brown Sugar Pancakes with Old Brown Dog ale. If your pal is a longlimbed splayer, opt for the larger enclosed terrace at DeWolf Tavern (259 Thames Street), complete with “DeWoof” jar of dog treats.

Expert Advice: ADOPTING

“There are advantages to adopting a dog in the summer,” notes Jess Geas, owner of Petrichor K9 Training (PetrichorK9.com) currently working with the shelter’s darling deaf Dalmatian, Brady. “It is much easier to potty train when it’s warm outside, and families tend to have more free time to work together on training and bonding.” Disadvantages come with excessive heat. “Stick to grassy areas and only use sidewalks if you can Treats worth rolling over for at Woof! Woof! PB&BB

place your palm flat to the ground and hold it there comfortably for a full seven seconds.”

Warren

Pomeranian mix Luna is a Cafe Water Street (279 Water Street) regular, always looking for the shadiest spot due to her excess of fluff. “The other day at the park a family dumped out the ice from their cooler and she went over and lay on it!” owners Samantha and Jeremy laugh fondly, envisioning the steam coming off her. The trio also raved about the enchanting Waterdog Kitchen + Bar (125 Water Street) where you can enjoy a “Pooch-ageez” Bloody Mary and traditional Portuguese Pas-

tel de Nata dessert on the shell-strewn terrace, with fire pits flickering on cooler nights. While some dogs are great explorers and socialites, others prefer to snooze contentedly at your feet, in which case you need a good book to enjoy on your outing. Lisa Valentino at Ink Fish Books (488 Main Street) welcomes canine visitors into her stylish, light-filled store with a jar of dog treats and occasional cameos from her soulmate pup Zola. Suggested titles include What’s My Dog

Thinking?, The Plant Based Dog Food Revolution and the summer 2021 release of London’s Number One Dog Walking Agency: A Memoir by Kate MacDougall. Check out the range at Lilly’s Bone To Pick, including neck attire made from up-cycled men’s shirt collars: “So the next time your pet interrupts your Zoom meeting they can be well-dressed!” Creator Sharon Lupo makes all her dog treats on site at Hope & Main in Warren (691 Main Street).

Black Pear

Ink FIsh Books

Barrington Yorkie Lulu loves her spa days, almost as much as the popsicle-shaped treats at Rumford Pet Express (182 County Road). Newlyweds Dawn and Chris Pawlowski (how apt!) gaze lovingly as Lulu diligently licks away all the peach-colored dog frosting. “She’ll save the biscuit part for after her swim!” For human and canine leftovers, check out the delightful doggy bags in the gift section at Barrington Books, just two doors down (184

County Street). The winged pug lunch bag is insulated and reusable and if you’ve ever had poop bag rolls unravel in your purse and turn into a magician’s never-ending handkerchief trick, you’ll appreciate the neat dog-print zipper pouches. While you grab an iced latte with housemade lavender syrup at the nearby Black Pear (312 County Road), your dog can be picking out a Rhode Island-print bandana or bow tie, made by the chef’s mother.

BARKING AREAS Open spaces to enjoy with your dog, sticks included.

Animal House of Grooming (306 Market Street) owner Melissa Costa shares these great tips: “Always thoroughly rinse off after a visit to the beach as saltwater can irritate a dog’s skin. Hold off on shaving your dog’s coat as it acts as a protective layer against the sun. If you have recently adopted a dog, give them a few days to settle into their new home before booking a grooming appointment. And if your

leashes dyed to match the summery hues. Across the street, Groundswell Cafe + Bakery (3883 Main Road) is an exquisite stop for a pastry and pup pic beside the ‘66 Ford truck brimming with flowers. Enjoy a sensory experience well beyond the buttery flakes of your croissant: the chic-styled tables on the dog-friendly wraparound porch transport you to the Paris of technicolor movies, complete with subtle ‘50s jazz

serenades piped outside. Don’t be surprised if your pup starts woofing with a French accent and/or takes up the accordion. For a real Bone Appetite moment, track down Pavlov’s Dog Treat Truck (check @pavlovstreatsfordogs on Instagram for location updates). We found the truck at Tiverton’s Farmer’s Market (43 Muse Way) dishing out waffle cones with Frosty Paws ice cream and tacos with chicken and mozzarella to eager chompers.

Little Compton While Newport has the lion’s share of pet-friendly hotels in East Bay, Little Compton has one of the loveliest, especially from a dog’s point of view. The Stone House Inn sits on dreamy Sakonnet Point Road with a swathe of manicured lawns and hip pet-friendly quarters of Great Dane proportions. En route, stop off at Wilbur’s General Store (50 Commons) for an illuminating dog collar and leash so you can walk after dark and make a wish on Sirius the Dog Star.

Portsmouth

Portsmouth Dog Park (50 Smith Road) is like the gold standard for dog parks with a proud community feel; you can even see family portraits of all the happy regulars – from Collies to Corgis, Westies to Weimaraners – by clicking the “Our Photos” tab on their website: PortsmouthDogParkRi.com. Your dog will be happy to chill after all that play, so head to the picturesque waterfront property at Greenvale Vineyards (582 Wapping Road) for a selection of estate-grown wines including the prettily named Skipping Stone White.

Middletown

If you want to reward your pal with a dream dog vacation, book a day – or week – at the exceptional Lucky Dog Resort (599 East Main Road). This picture-perfect facility gets rave reviews for its enrichment-focused care, sunny-day splash pool, candy-colored playrooms and the option to board your pup in the style of a sleepover, curling up with his or her new best friends. They even offer a Wedding Valet service so your dog can join you on your special day!

If you’re touring the scenic loop at Fort Adams and spy what looks like a jaunty fox on a leash, it could be Spaniel-mix Truman. “He loves swimming so this is a great spot on a hot day,” says owner Mary, who also enjoys the sweeping bay and bridge views at Belle’s Cafe, set within the Newport Shipyard (1 Washington Street). Wellspaced tables, shady canopies and yummy fare make this an ideal dog-friendly breakfast destination. Pro-tip: Make reservations. For dinner, consider chowing down at Perro Salado, Spanish for the Salty Dog. This Mexican restaurant (19 Charles Street) nestled within 18th century Decatur House has a dog-friendly patio where you can drool over specialties like sticky pork ribs and avocado fries. Braving the Burning Passion cocktail complete with Hellfire bitters? Have a cooling cucumber aqua fresca lined up!

If you are planning on setting sail, get your sea dog kitted out with a Bay Dog life jacket at Wag Nation (181 Bellevue Avenue). Is your pup panting? Try these three items to help combat August heatwaves: Cool Dog Boots for scorching sidewalks, an Ice Vest or Ice Band to lower body temps, and a Cool Pet Pad for your pup to lie on. Add a little nautical fashion flair with Instagrammable captain hats and sailor suits from Port of Paws (this month’s Rhody Gem on page 19, 433 Thames Street). You’ll also find tough rope toys woven into ship wheels and flip-flops – far preferable to your pup chewing your deck shoes. Continuing the yachtie vibe, bliss out with serene marina views at the new Brenton Hotel (31 America’s Cup Avenue), which offers one of the most reasonable pet fees in town.

Lobster Shooters

Appetizers with Distinction Local catering business infuses Afro-soul flavors in sumptuous small bites Hors d’oeuvres are a quintessential primer for any party but the small plates you’ll find from Distinguish Catering turn finger food into an art form, from deviled eggs whipped with sweet potato puree to Blackened Shrimp Tostones drawing color and flavor from pickled red onions, seared shrimp, and fresh guacamole, all atop a yellow plantain. “We specifically engineer and hand-craft each item to incorporate an Afro-soul or Caribbean flavor profile to give each bite a taste of home,” says executive chef Jessica M. Zeon, a Johnson & Wales graduate who founded her boutique catering business around devising gourmet food influenced by her African American and Liberian roots. Take Fried Lobster Shooters, for example – breaded in panko and fried to crispy perfection, these seafood bites are served on a stick and cradled in a tall glass with sauce at the bottom, for optimum ease. Zeon explains, “The house-made Smoked Pepper Aioli Sauce is derived from the Ultimate Smoked Pepper Sauce, a family recipe that dates back centuries in Liberian food culture prepared with assorted peppers, onions, and smoked seafood.” While seafood is a staple of Ocean State and Distinguish Catering cuisine, Zeon also offers vegan appetizers like seared potato pancakes with charred corn and a smoky filling, and menus can be personalized around an event. “We strive to bring innovation to the food culture in Rhode Island,” Zeon says, “by providing exceptional flavors with the freshest ingredients from farms and local markets, while infusing our motherland’s flavors and cooking techniques into our vision of soul food.” DistinguishCatering.com | By Abbie Lahmers Photo courtesy of Distinguish Catering The Bay • August 2021 41

Pawtucket mainstay goes small-batch with Warren beer hall

Open, grassy spaces with views of our rugged Rhody landscape and outdoor taps pouring craft beers are aplenty around these parts. Here’s a handful of nearby breweries with lush beer gardens open for summertime sipping. NEWPORT CRAFT BREWING & DISTILLING CO. Take in the view of the Newport Bridge while sipping a Rhode Trip IPA and playing lawn games. The outdoor pavilion is open through October with 10 beers on tap (and beer flights of four if you can’t choose one) along with a full cocktail list.

Bristol brewers pour unique flavors and artsy vibes Rebecca Ernst and Todd Nicholson describe the Bristol area as the “perfect beer tourism destination”, and an easy choice to forge their identity with Pivotal Brewing Company, a brand that’s all about atmosphere and creativity. “We wanted to create a product, taproom, and experience that gives us endless opportunities to color outside the lines and create a funky and interesting backdrop for the community to be a part of,” Ernst explains, which combines unique brews, eclectic art, music, and food in a space that veers away from the traditional. Inside a historic mill building with high ceilings and abundant windows, you’ll find everything from hazy IPAs and fruited sours to crisp lagers and barrel-aged offerings come late August. “Think street art meets a vintage industrial vibe. We’ll incorporate artistic elements with vintage furniture and merge it with exposed brick, rusted out metals, and various textures and colors,” says Rebecca. “Our aesthetic will be much like our beer, forever changing and evolving.” Bristol, Facebook: Pivotal Brewing Company

East Bay Beer Garden Destinations

Fans of The Guild in Pawtucket, and their Providence beer garden pop-up near the Pedestrian Bridge, can rejoice as the craft brewery cooperative breaks ground on its first East Bay location. Co-founder Jeremy Duffy describes the concept of The Guild Warren as “small-batch brewing meets a fun beer hall atmosphere with great food.” This means a full menu of pub snacks and entrees to complement hoppy and malty notes, and steps from the Palmer and Barrington rivers, an outdoor deck will also host scenic water views. But best of all is the sheer variety: 16 taps will be pouring favorites from Pawtucket – think Bohemian Grove Pilsner and Path Forward Amber Lager along with their crushable IPAs and sumptuous stouts – but also offer space to experiment with new flavors brewed in-house. According to Duffy, “It will be our innovation hub and a place of great collaboration,” but some secrets will have to wait to be unveiled early this month, when the new beer hall is slated to open.

Food & Drink EXPERIENCE

Passing the Torch

One of the most beloved restaurants in Warren’s eclectic downtown culinary scene was Eli’s Kitchen, the brainchild of Food Network show Chopped champion and award-winning chef Eli Dunn. It was a favorite not only for Warrenites but for Rhode Islanders of all coasts and counties. When Eli’s closed at the end of 2020, many local foodies were too forlorn to focus on the potential of what could take its place. As an OG appreciator of Warren eats, I felt the same sting when we lost the predecessor to Eli’s: Bebop Burrito. I didn’t want to move on, but I was so happy when I did. The cozy space on 40 Market Street

changes hands once again, this time to Hunky Dory. Co-owners Sam Duling and Joanna Ray were both employees of Eli’s Kitchen when it shuttered, so it’s no surprise that Hunky Dory continues many of chef Dunn’s values – including serving comfort food and a strong dedication to sourcing their ingredients from local farms. With this in mind, I couldn’t wait to try what the duo had up their sleeves. First up was the Smoked Baffoni Chicken Wings, which are stunning in presentation alone: A dry-spice base is striped with thick, sweet, Alabama white barbecue sauce. These wings are a great introduction to what Hunky Dory has to offer. You’re

getting a meaty, smoked chicken wing with a clearly Southern-inspired combination of peppery heat and a tangy, mayo-based sweetness – a one-two punch of bold flavors from two very different directions. Another starter on the table is their delectable Pimento Cheese. Served with several large sheets of seeded cracker, the ultra-rich cheese is topped with candied jalapeños, offering a striking and welcome contrast. This

was, bar none, my favorite pimento cheese experience (and yes, I do mean experience). Thoroughly impressed with the appetizers, I was ready for the main course. The Fried Chicken Sandwich is a thick, satisfying breast with a peppery, crunchy fry. It was a larger sandwich than I expected, in the best way. With a dollop of ramp leaf ranch dressing and pickles, this big boy is served on a Martin’s sesame seed potato roll. With just a

For more information or to donate, please visit our website hint of bite to it, this is what a fried chicken sandwich should be. The Smokehouse Sandwich is a combination of bratwurst, smoked onion, more of those incredible candied jalapeños, and some Carolina gold barbecue sauce. It’s a sweet (and slightly mustard-y) left turn from the Fried Chicken Sandwich, and although bratwurst is often the main player, this sandwich features a rotating cast of sausages from local farms. Finally we arrive at the Hunky Burger. The HB is a Stony Creek Farm smash burger delicately topped with Cabot cheddar, onion, dill pickles, and special sauce. Smash burgers give you a crispier, thinner patty than traditional burgers, and chef Duling pairs them with their steal-the-show steak fries. Crunchy, and so thoroughly potato-forward, Hunky Dory fries are worth the trip alone. For a northern coastal town, Hunky Dory is covering an underrepresented style, Southern cuisine – and they’re serving it with care, grace, and white barbecue sauce.
