The Barn at Roger Williams University, Bristol
Get in the Halloween spirit with these (supposedly) true tales of spirits, legends and things that go bump in the night: Crescent Park, East Providence While nowadays the park is home to just a carousel, once upon a time there was a full amusement park there, with rides, a midway, a shore dining hall and the Alhambra Ballroom, which burned down in 1969. Visitors to the Looff Carousel report hauntings by those who died in the fire, as well as music that begins to play by itself and an apparition of a woman in old-time clothing. The Barn at Roger Williams University, Bristol Of the many legends of hauntings on the Roger Williams campus, RWU’s barn is, hands down, the creepiest. Students and visitors report strange visions and sounds from “Banquo,” the barn’s ghost,

who is rumored to be the spirit of a farmhand who froze to death inside the building when it was a working barn in Glocester. There’s a chair on the second floor reserved for Banquo, and students who sit in the chair have reported strange injuries afterwards. The Newport Mansions You can’t throw a rock without hitting a supposedly haunted mansion in Newport. Seaview Terrace has ghostly legends tied to its original owners – including temperature drops, strange sounds (like the broken organ playing on its own) and apparitions – and has been featured on Ghost Hunters. Alice Vanderbilt’s ghost has been spotted throughout the hallways of The Breakers for years. And of course, the granddaddy of haunted spots in Newport is Belcourt Castle, with a collection of supposedly haunted and paranormal items. -Julie Tremaine
An East Providence Orchestra Is Second Fiddle to None Originally founded in 2006 as the Rhode Island Philharmonic Community Orchestra, the Narragansett Bay Symphony Community Orchestra (NABSCO.org) includes both amateur and professional symphonic musicians of all ages. Together, they share a passion for music and serving the community. From Bernstein to Beethoven and everything in between, the orchestra plays a wide range of traditional and modern classical music. They have performed throughout Rhode Island, including for free at local libraries, nursing homes, and for music students at Johnson and Wales. Bruce Goldstein, president of the orchestra’s board, emphasizes NABSCO’s involvement in community music education. NABSCO collaborates with the Rhode Island Philharmonic School and with Community MusicWorks, a nonprofit organization that offers after-school music programs to youth, as well as mentoring and teaching opportunities to professional musicians. The orchestra’s mission is to provide members of the community with high-quality music at minimal costs. General admission tickets are $15, with senior and student discounts available. “Our biggest goal is to reach as many people as possible – that’s really what we’re all about,” says Bruce. The orchestra’s first concert of the season is on October 29 in Providence. -Lisa Allard Photo (right) by Bonnie and Marc Jaffe courtesy of RI Philharmonic Community Orchestra

The Rogue Island Comedy Festival (RogueIslandComedyFest.com) is returning to Newport October 5–9. Now in its third year, the festival has seen a huge boom – an organic shift according to the festival’s marketing director, Katie Latimer. “We didn’t want to go too big too soon,” she says, adding that despite the urge to swing for the fences, the festival’s organizers, which include native Rhode Island comics Doug Key and Rob Greene, preferred to take smaller steps last year, sticking to what had worked for their inaugural run. All ten shows last year sold out, and the fest’s reputation has earned the organizers their first major headliner: Silicon Valley and Deadpool star TJ Miller. With TJ currently having a moment, the fest needed a bigger venue, so the Jane Pickens Theater will be joining Firehouse Theatre, Studio Three, Dockside and Brick Alley Pub to play host to this year’s nearly 70 comics – including plenty of local talent like Ray Harrington, Andrew Williams and Brian Beaudoin. This year they’re putting on 14 shows across five days – including a family-friendly “PG-13” set at Empire Tea and Coffee on Saturday, October 7. Despite the success and the attention that TJ Miller is bringing to the festival, Katie, Doug and Rob aren’t getting ahead of themselves. So we’ll do it for them: this year sounds like a game changer for bringing big names in comedy to Rhode Island. –Tony Pacitti

The Little Bristol Shop Around the Corner
Denise Nehez opened her shop, C & R Mercantile, over a year ago, and the vision she set out to implement has become a reality: a local grocery shop where customers stop in for Wright’s Dairy milk, Baffoni’s eggs and Narragansett Creamery’s Pirate Spread – and, just as important, for a chat and brief respite from a busy world. The Connecticut native came to the East Bay in 2002 and spent years in retail, restaurant and finance work, tucking away the information she gathered about customer service and business. Whether it was breaking down cardboard boxes from deliveries and neatly stacking the pile for trash pickup or always greeting and making eye contact with customers, Denise’s work helped her compile a mental list of how she would run her own business. On June 23, 2016, that business opened. C & R Mercantile is

a flower shop. Everything comes back into this little spot full circle.
When I first came to town, I used to say, “We need a little grocery shop.” I put together a business plan and I had a friend who would invest in it. I have always loved this space: 200 feet of sales space and about 20 feet for back storage. I borrowed the first month to hold the space and then went for it. I’ve done it all on a shoestring. C is for my dog Charlie and R is for my deceased dog River.
The town has been awesome. I have had nothing but positive support from them. The Health Department has been wonderful. Any question I have, I call them. People from Town Hall have made their way over and checked in on me.
My first delivery was Thursday, June 23 [2016], from Farm Fresh Rhode Island. I had half a shelf and one of the fridges, and I said, “I guess I’m open for business.” I started to bring cut flowers in because I love to garden and used to work at
I hate when someone says, “Are you going to work?” It is work and it can be overwhelming at times, but I want to say, “It’s not work. I’m going to my shop.” What’s better than to open the door, sweep the sidewalk, freshen up the shelves and welcome your customers? There is nothing better. You have to like what you’re doing. Wow, I just remembered my parents first met in a grocery store. -Nina Murphy

I just wanted to have some privacy.”ditae ius, to omniende Not this time, though. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time earlier this year, Alayne had just started to put her first experience into words on Medium.com. Her first post, titled “The Locker Room,” described the experience of unapologetically baring her scarred body at the gym. “The next thing you know,” she says, “I’m getting diagnosed.” And this time, the floodgates opened. Through her double mastectomy, reconstruction and recovery, Alayne has been writing near-daily blog posts about her experience – and they’ve been resonating with thousands of readers, in the East Bay and beyond. “It was a totally different experience three years ago than this time,” she says. Now, bravery, honesty and humor define how she shares her experience – or maybe “overshares” is more accurate, since, she says, “I’ll show my boobs to anyone who wants to see them” (maybe/probably/not really a joke). “That feeling of having part of your body taken off was so sad to me,” Alayne says, “but I wrote about it so much that I think it helped release that sadness. The thing that helped me the most was that I met a woman who had the same surgery by the same surgeons. She invited me to look, and I was like, That’s going to be great.” Just as other women with breast cancer have helped ease her own fears, Alayne’s openness has helped to inform others living with breast cancer in their lives, whether they’re the sick ones or not. She’s not providing medical information – she’s

sharing what it’s like for one woman to go through cancer. “I’ve been making a difference in women’s lives for 15 years with the treatments that we do at the spa” that boost women’s confidence and help them to look and feel beautiful, she says. “But now, there’s a depth that feels so connected. I’ve had so many women and men say to me that they love what I’m writing, or they sent it to their sister who has cancer.” As much as her posts celebrate bravery and recovery and thriving in the face of cancer, some reveal an author who’s vulnerable and afraid, especially in the countdown posts before her double mastectomy. In those days she was coming to terms with losing pieces of her body, and fearing the loss of her womanness, her desirability, her sense of self. For someone so adamant about aging naturally – Alayne barely wears makeup other than lipstick, and doesn’t color her graying hair – getting reconstructive implants was a difficult consideration. “There was a moment when I thought, Why am I even going to do this?” Yes, she was diagnosed early and yes, her recovery has been less difficult and faster than some. Alayne is aware she’s making cancer look easy. A close friend of hers is having a very different battle with the same cancer right now. “The thing that’s interesting in people reading my writing is this sense that I’m Wonder Woman,” she says. “I laugh at it – but I don’t like to have that be the perception” of what going through cancer is like. “This is just my experience with it. When it gets caught early, you don’t even feel sick. I want everybody to know that it doesn’t have to be so bad if it’s not bad.” Late in September, Alayne went in for the last in her series of reconstructive surgeries. She’ll continue writing about her recovery, but more than that, she’s just going to continue writing. “I think I have opened up my personal floodgates, and there’s no stopping my truth now,” she says. “I feel liberated by it. I think this… acting ‘as though’ has been the gift of cancer. I get to stand on the precipice of my mortality and look at my life and say, Alright, what do I want to do differently? I really like that.”

H A RV E S T F U N Visit an East Bay farm this fall for pumpkin picking, cider donuts, goat yoga and more
By Jessica Bryant • Photography by Stacey Doyle
Frerichs Farm in Warren
Drive through the backroads of our small state and you’ll quickly realize how much farmland – more than 69,000 acres! – there is. Of Rhode Island’s 1,243 farms, top commodities include dairy, apples, sweet corn, potatoes, and greenhouse and nursery products. But each farm offers a unique bounty of fresh produce, community events and more. Here’s a quick cheat sheet of what East Bay farms have to offer, plus a spotlight on a few of the farmers who make it all happen:
Sweet Berry Farm
Quonset View Farm
Middletown’s Sweet Berry Farm (SweetBerryFarmRI.com) spans 100 acres. The centerpiece: a farm market and cafe that sells its own seasonal fruits, veggies, cut flowers, premium ice cream, and a selection of gourmet and specialty foods. Though named for its strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, the farm offers a broader selection of pick-your-own items, including apples, peaches and pumpkins.
Quonset View Farm (Facebook: Quonset View Farm) overlooks the shoreline of Aquidneck Island and covers 140 acres in Portsmouth. Pumpkins can be picked during weekends in October. The farm also grows and sells rhubarb, and is known for its potato production. Currently, Quonset View Farm is one of only a few potato farms left on Aquidneck Island. Note: this is a cash-only facility.

Frerichs Farm Frerichs Farm (FrerichsFarm.com) in Warren hosts a giant pumpkin weigh-off on October 7, a pumpkin palooza (which includes a pumpkin coach and a Western Town) every weekend through the end of October, a pumpkin drop (where a giant donated pumpkin is hauled up and dropped for a spectacular explosion) and more family activities throughout the season. The gift shop, housed in a barn, offers custom-made pieces, gifts and ornaments. The farm has 11 greenhouses, roughly 20,000 mums, and a variety of annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables and more.
Coggeshall Farm Museum Coggeshall Farm Museum (CoggeshallFarm.org), located on 48 acres in Bristol, is a living museum that depicts what life was like on an eighteenth-century farm. Interpreters, donning the clothing of that time period, perform daily tasks – from milking cows to making candles – and guests can choose to get involved. The property is home to livestock and fowl, an heirloom kitchen that features more than 60 varieties of vegetables, fruits and herbs, and more. For those interested in learning sustainable methods firsthand, check out the museum’s calendar for workshops.
Simmons Organic Farm Two words: goat yoga. That’s right, Simmons Organic Farm (SimmonsOrganicFarmRI.com), sitting on 120 acres in Middletown, was the first in the state to offer this new yoga trend, which is exactly what it sounds like: an outdoor yoga class in which participants are surrounded by baby goats. The farm, which specializes in growing traditional and heirloom produce, is also known for its farm stand, a community-supported agriculture program (CSA) and a petting zoo, offering visitors a chance to get up close with goats, lambs, a pony and more. Simmons Farm offers fresh eggs, grass-fed beef, pork and its own cheeses, made fresh daily using the farm’s own goat and cow milk.
Mount Hope Farm Operated by the Mount Hope Trust, Mount Hope Farm (MountHopeFarm.org) is a national historic site housed on 127 acres of land in Bristol that includes a year-round farmers market, an award-winning 12-room bed and breakfast, a Civil War–era barn you can rent for weddings and other functions, a resident 4H program and a kids’ summer camp. Also on the property are hiking trails, an education center and farm animals (sheep, chickens, goats, donkeys, oh my!). Its produce – roughly 1,600 pounds all together – is donated to a food bank.
Four Town Farm Four Town Farm (FourTownFarm.com) in Seekonk has been around for five generations and offers locals fresh produce for seven months of the year. Its farm stand sells flowers, fruits and vegetables. With more than 30 crops grown on-site throughout the year, Four Town Farm is best known for its asparagus, melons, sweet corn and strawberries. The farm of-
David Frerichs, owner & farmer, Frerichs Farm A typical day: “I usually wake up around 4am, and the first thing I do is watch Michelle Muscatello for the latest weather update. I make sure my water systems are all working properly, and have a hearty breakfast to give me energy for the day. Then, I go to my calendar of work orders to make sure everything is ready for pickup or delivery. After that, I make sure our Western Town, pirate ship, hayrides [and other activity offerings] are all ready for our farm visitors.” Keeping up with the times: “The technology is getting better – I’ve updated my equipment that works faster and
better, which allows us to get done sooner, and it gives me a little extra time to step back and take a look at the world and see what we can do to make it a better place to live in.” Getting the good bugs: “They keep coming up with more organic pesticides, which is really good because we’ve never been big on pesticides around here. And now they’re selling beneficial insects, where you can buy a species of [good] bugs and basically clean up your [bad] bug problem without having to resort to some strong chemical.”

fers pick-your-own strawberries, raspberries, peas, flowers and pumpkins.
Young Family Farm Young Family Farm (YoungFamilyFarm.com) was established 20 years ago in Little Compton. There, you’ll find a family-run farm stand with fresh farm crops, homemade pies and pizzas with fresh vegetables from the farm, an apple orchard (mark your calendars for its Columbus Day weekend Apple Festival),
Tyler Young, owner & farmer, Young Family Farm A packed day: “It depends on what time of year it is; every day is different. This time of year, we start at 6am. My guys get in, we start picking corn, deliver corn and vegetables to different Stop & Shop stores, Shaws stores, and different retail stands, and the day usually ends at 6pm. Then, we go home and do book work. We also make sure the farm stand stays supplied throughout the day, especially for weekends.” A legal battle: “It’s important now for farmers to keep an eye on what’s going on in legislation. You’ve got to be so political now. We’ve been battling this new Food Safety Modernization Act [FDA.Gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/FSMA], which is a federally mandated act that has a lot of overreach by government, and that’s a big concern for us because we’ve been doing this for generations and understand food and what needs to be done. Once they take that away and dictate how we should be doing things, you lose growers who can’t comply with some of these regulations. And that’s the problem: the government thinks they can make this a kitchen out here. It’s not a kitchen; it’s a biological entity.” The future of agriculture: “I’m kind of scared. I have a feeling, with the way legislative things are going, they’re trying to push agriculture out of here. I hate to say that. People want agriculture, they want the farmers here, they want the open space and the fresh food. But if the public doesn’t pay attention, [as an industry] we could be in trouble.”

and pick-your-own options, including apples, pumpkins, flowers, sugar snap peas, lettuce, spinach, kale, and red and golden beets. Young Family Farm also operates a small wholesale potato business. Spanning 300 acres, the farm is one of the three largest in the state, with 100 acres devoted solely to potato production.
Escobar Farm There’s art in everything. But have you
ever been introduced to the art that is corn maze landscaping? Escobar Farm in Portsmouth (EscobarFarm.com) features an eight-acre corn maze, which has, over the years, been sculpted into the Providence Bruins logo, farm animals and more. Visitors can also stay at the property’s Farmhouse Inn, take a hayride and visit the pumpkin patch. And at the root of the operation is a dairy farm: Escobar’s Highland Farm.
Gina MacDonald, executive director, Mt. Hope Farm Lots on the schedule: “This time of year, kids come to camp, we might have URI master gardeners volunteering in the gardens. We also have volunteers who maintain our flower beds. The Inn is quite busy this time of year, and [recently] we finished our major fundraiser, Cool Jazz, with just under 500 attendees. So, there’s a lot of moving parts.” A new crop: “At the farm itself, five years ago, we weren’t growing anything. And this was our first year of growing a cash crop that started in the greenhouse. Historically, Mt. Hope Farm was more intensively farmed than it is now, so we’re in the process of updating our strategic plan and taking a look at what we should be doing in terms of making the cultivation more efficient.” Here’s to the locavores: “I think that as the farm-to-table movement continues to escalate, people are appreciating more and more the value of buying and eating something that’s grown as close to home as possible.”

Charming by the Sea A globetrotting family returns to its Middletown roots
Photography by Grace Lentini
Kathy Lewis and Mohamed Saleh
Kathy Lewis loved growing up in Newport. Her father, Dean Lewis, served as mayor in the early 1950s (a mayoral perk was attending the wedding of then-senator John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier) and the City by the Sea was a warm, welcoming community for the family. But when Kathy met Mohamed Saleh at a reception for the Naval War College’s Class of 1984, her life changed forever. The couple fell in love and soon moved to Cairo, where Mohamed had grown up overlooking the Nile. They lived there for four years with Mohamed’s then-teenage daughter and Kathy gave birth to another daughter,
built a home back in Middletown where their love story began
Dina. The young family later moved to the popular Washington, D.C., suburb of Fairfax, Virginia, where they lived for 26 years until Newport called them back. “[I] always wanted to move back to Newport, mainly because I have an older brother, Jimmy, with special needs and our other brother, Tommy, has

always taken care of him,” explains Kathy. “So [I] really felt the need to ‘do my part’ and help with Jim’s care.” After a casual five-year search, the couple found the perfect home in neighboring Middletown. “The minute we walked into this house, we knew it was everything we had ever dreamed of having in a home. The entire three-bedroom, three-bath home is very beautiful, but the light yellow kitchen with built-ins, white marble countertops, custom coastal drawer/cabinet pulls and blue pendant lights and the adjoining Mediterranean blue family room with a wall of windows overlooking the garden and backyard are what took my breath away and really sold us on the property,” says Kathy. Its locale, in what she describes as a “storybook” neighborhood with lush landscaping and colorful homes, sealed the deal and she and Mohamed settled in about a year and a half ago. The couple did find some initial design challenges, given that they had acquired many furnishings with a colonial feel over the years in Virginia. Here in the Ocean State, they sought to embrace Aquidneck Island’s palpable coastal vibe. Kathy purchased accessories from Design Digs on Spring Street in Newport, where owner and interior designer Jocelyn Chiappone offered her helpful tips on, for example, how to use fabric colors on pillows and tablecloths and add

accessories like lamps, candles and picture frames to marry their old pieces and their new treasures seamlessly. “And our daughter, Dina, styled her apartment in downtown Newport recently and she just has such a fabulous sense of style, so her input and
help was greatly appreciated,” says Kathy. “We definitely didn’t want a starfish and anchor on every wall, but we do have a lovely sea glass collection and the occasional shell that, along with the lovely light yellows and dreamy blues, whisper a welcoming beachy coastal feel.” Most days, Mohamed relaxes on the patio with their pups, Harley and Lily, reads a book, watches the birds and takes in all the natural beauty that surrounds them. “After work, you will find me in my ‘she-shed’ – the shed that we turned into my art studio,” says Kathy. “We miss our family and friends in Fairfax, but we truly love living in Rhode Island again,” Kathy says. “It’s where our love story began in 1984 and it’s where I was born and raised, and where our daughter and my brothers live and where so many of my wonderful friends reside, and so there is a real connection there for both of us. We are very blessed and hope to live out the rest of our lives here on Aquidneck Island, volunteering and giving back to this beautiful island and its people.”

Recharging with a head-to-toe massage at Sakura Reflexology Spa in Barrington Some of life’s most pleasurable feelings are experienced through the feet: burying them in warm sand, dipping them into the ocean on a hot day, finally slipping out of a pair of high heels after a long night out. It makes sense that gravity pulls your body’s energy downward, where it collects. By my first visit to Sakura Reflexology Spa in Barrington, thirty-ish years of pressure had built up in these tootsies. The tranquil atmosphere of Sakura welcomes you upon entrance, from the lavender aromas filling the air to the soft lighting and shoji walls. Rebecca, the owner, greeted me warmly and led me into the peaceful enclosed space where I’d be receiving a Tui Na back and shoulder massage followed by reflexology therapy from Jessie, one of Sakura’s massage specialists. Tui Na is a Chinese rhythmic compression technique applied to different energy channels throughout the body to establish a harmonious flow of Qi, or Chi, and bring it back into balance. As the 60-minute therapy session began, I was instructed to remove only my shoes before lying facedown on the massage bed. There is no oil applied to the skin in Tui Na, so you remain clothed throughout the entire service. Jessie began softly kneading my back, shoulders, arms and calves, then shifted his focus to the knots of tension built up in my neck and shoulders. Being about five feet and one and a half inches, I should be fighting for every extra millimeter, but instead I have the posture of a lowercase “r.” The massage made me feel like a mini hand weight was being removed from each shoulder. Lastly, he massaged my scalp, neck and upper back and then applied a soft chopping-like motion to the back of my entire body. I then shifted onto a towel-covered lounge chair, and my feet were submerged in a tub of perfectly heated sea salt water. While my tootsies rejoiced with relaxation, Jessie massaged my temples and scalp. A warm towel was then placed over my eyes, while the massage shifted to my left arm and then my right, starting at the shoulder and moving to my palms and fingers,

where he released the end of each fingertip with a light snapping motion. Following that, Jessie pulled my feet out of the heated water one by one, massaging each calf, ankle and sole of the foot. From there, he applied slight upward pressure along each bone in my foot to the tip of each toe, and then the same light snapping release as he’d given to the ends of my fingertips. He then administered his knuckles to my soles and heels, which felt equally soothing and ticklish. The newfound lightness and relief I experienced felt as if a pair of waterlogged Uggs I’d been unknowingly trotting around in had finally been removed. Jessie then smoothed hot stones over my calves and feet, ending the service with a hot towel placed over each foot. After the service, Rebecca gave me some green tea and bottled water to rehydrate. I left feeling lighter, recharged and re-Chi’d.

Taste EAT

Oktoberfest and Beyond As such an early influence on US cuisine, German food and its effects on our daily diet tend to be overlooked. But as new restaurants turn back to the art of well-crafted comfort cuisine, the US has taken a second look at its German roots. Redlefsen’s in Bristol proves you can become relevant by staying right where you are, because everything old is new again. It’s striking that a restaurant so essentially traditional can offer dishes and an experience hard to find elsewhere. While the place is capable of getting Octoberfestive, Redlefsen’s prefers the Bavarian over the bachelor party. The interior is warm with dark woods, murals, vaulted ceilings and even stained glass, and they boast a nice covered terrace outside. Lots of Old-World ornamentation abounds, including traditional porcelain taps at the bar, without it becoming kitsch or distracting. Come the crisp days of fall, Redlefsen’s comes into its own, but we managed just fine on this hot summer evening. (From late September to the end of October, Oktoberfest is
Pan Roasted Duck Breast with pumpkin risotto
in full swing at the restaurant, with Alpenblumen Bavarian dancers, accordion music, and a lot of loud singing.) The menu is pan-European and explicitly so, with little flags indicating the country of origin of each dish: Italy, Belgium, France, the UK and, of course, the stars and bars. It’s a little twee, but even if German food victory is uncertain, they conquered the beer list long ago. Among others: Konig Ludwig and Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen, Kostritzer Schwarz, Ayinger Celebrator, all on draught and by the pint, thank you very much, plus more unusual Sours and the Rauchbier in bottles. A taster ($6.50) of all of the aforementioned was perfect, finished with a pint of the Weihenstephaner ($6.75): my old-faithful straw-colored hefe, perfectly poured in a big vase. We began as German as could be with pfannkuchen ($12) and kaesespaetzle ($7) for appetizers. Savory pfannkuchen takes the versatility of the delicate crepe and hammers it into a more substantial meal. With a white cheese sauce flecked with bacon, the
dish could easily end up unrelentingly rich, but instead, with plenty of earthier mushroom varieties, it was hearty and delicious. Similarly, kaesespatzle is Germany’s completely worthwhile retort to mac and cheese or gnocchi. Freshly grated egg dough is dropped into simmering water, forming something between a dumpling and a noodle. The texture of this spaetzle was lovely, surprisingly light, mixed with the perfect amount of cheese and bacon and garnished with chives. Like any great provincial food, there’s nothing sophisticated about it, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it either. Either the starters were so generously portioned, or our appetites were so underrated, that as we cleared our plates our new waitress asked us about dessert. No, no, we have entrees to come. Happily, before our stomachs had time to tell our brains we were full, wienerschnitzel ($26) and a sirloin ($30) arrived. All the recent carpet bagging of that Southern comfort food suggests there’s an appetite for schnitzel, and wienerschnitzel is thought to

Once again this was as traditional as can be: a perfectly breaded crisp veal, topped with a rich brown mushroom sauce called Jaeger. The sides were likewise timeless: purple sauerkraut and still more spaetzle, with lemon anchovies and capers to punctuate and cut through the rich sauce. I thought I out-ordered my wife this time. Her sirloin, though grilled exactly to order with a very nice fruity and vinegary house-made steak sauce and a hefty dollop of mashed potatoes, was a little ho-hum in comparison, simply because you could get it anywhere. Of all the flags hoisted outside Redlefsen’s, by the end of the meal we had to raise a white one rather than take dessert. Next time perhaps, with a little more planning and a little less spaetzle, we might be able to make it. When it’s cooler, it’s just the thing for something a bit different, if you’re committed to putting some meat on your bones and watching some darker pours.

Catch the Seafood Festival at Bowen’s Wharf A most delicious tradition that honors “the harvest of the sea,” Newport’s 26th annual Seafood Festival (BowensWharf.com) is a post-summer celebration that’s all about fun, family and, of course, food. On October 14, dozens of regional vendors assemble under colorful tents to offer delectable preparations of lobster, crab, fish, oysters, clams, quahogs, shrimp, squid, scallops and other fresh, local-caught seafood. Cafe-style seating is available around the wharf, or you can choose to drop anchor at one of the area’s many famed restaurants, all of which will be serving their most celebrated seafood dishes. Along with the scent of coastal cuisine swirling though the autumn air, you’ll also find the streets and sidewalks abuzz with the musical stylings of local bands and artists performing anything from jazz and blues to rock and reggae. Shopping, ship tours and a host of kid-friendly activities ensure that there’s plenty of fun to be had by everyone.

Farm to Fork French bistro Table puts a seasonal, New England twist on the familiar
Table in Barrington has a humble name and a chef as approachable as its menu. In the best bistro tradition, the familiarity of the dishes on offer is just a starting point. The menu shows thoughtful and creative variations on the familiar, and an obvious attention to seasonality. Even meat and potatoes take a trip to the farmers market: their hanger steak is accompanied by confit potatoes, corn and beans, smoked eggplant, peach and pepper chutney – a who’s who of what’s fresh. We chatted with Johnson & Wales grad Logan Tharp, now more than a year in as head chef at Table. He’s more committed than ever to cooking... and to fresh corn.

How did you find yourself at Table? I’ve been at the restaurant since the beginning. I started off as a prep cook to help my friend who was the previous chef. Then I took a job as a server, because at the time I was managing The Melting Pot in Providence and I had more front-of-house experience. Just over a year ago, the chef decided to leave. The position was only supposed to be for a short period of time, but after a couple weeks I figured out I loved it. Here I am, a little after a year, still having a lot of fun. American bistros vary considerably, while French bistros are quite defined. How do you see Table? We are considered a French bistro, but what makes us a little different is that we take a lot of traditional dishes, practices and techniques and we bring a more modern and New England twist to the dishes. What’s an ingredient that you can’t wait to come into season, and what do you do with it? We’re on the edge of our seat waiting for Four Town Farm’s corn – it’s out just now and it’s amazing. We get most of our
produce from there, especially limited and seasonal stuff. Blended with their green and yellow beans, it’s a great complement to a smoked eggplant puree. We’ve done it as corn chowder that people come back for. We’ve also done a twist on Mexican street corn that people love. I grew up a little bit in California; guys would drive around with little trolleys, dip the corn in mayo, queso
blanco, paprika, and a little bit of lime juice on top. I’ve done my take a bunch of different ways – with different aioli depending on the mood, with paprika and lime.

Taste Test B att l e of t h e Cru n ch iest Granola: it’s the super cereal. And Rhode Island has embraced it with a fervor. This fall, as you’re backpacking around our gorgeous state or just jonesing for some oaty goodness in the morning, try one of these delectable granola mixes from the East Bay.
Holy Cow
Munroe Dairy’s (CowTruck.com) Holy Granola knows how to keep the sweet and the savory in balance, combining walnuts and pepitas with crystallized ginger for a flavor that goes down easy and doesn’t overwhelm with either sugar or grit. Oats, syrup, pecans, almonds, coconut and cranberries round out this thoroughly pleasing snack, a great choice to ground your GORP on a fall hike.
Blue Kangaroo Café (BlueKangarooRI. com) in Barrington might make only one variety of granola – a crunchy, gooey mix of cranberries, almonds and pumpkin seeds – but they prepare it three delicious ways. Option one: parfait. The cool, creamy yogurt sets off the nuts and chewy cranberries wonderfully. Option two: granola bar. Portable goodness. Option three: just buy a bag of it and chow down.
50
The Bay • October 2017
Something to Buzz About Granola doesn’t have to be dry and tasteless – at least The Beehive Café (TheBeehiveCafe.com) in Bristol doesn’t think so. The best adjective to describe their product, if their business name doesn’t give it away, is “honey-drenched.” This stuff is sweet, sweet, sweet, and comes served, almost sparkling, atop a bowl of Narragansett Creamery yogurt and fresh, colorful fruit.
