5th Street Bakehouse 953 W. 5th St. | Reno http://5thstbakehouse.com/ | 775.323.1885 Hours: Mon-Sat 7am-6pm, Sun 8am-4pm Siting directly next to Cue and Cushion on the corner of 5th Street and Keystone Avenue, 5th Street Bakehouse is outwardly modest to passersby, but its appearance does not reflect the boldness of the delicacies served inside. The 5th Street Bakehouse has been open for five months. Owner Daniel Carter, a Reno local and a graduate from the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, says, “I don’t know what it is yet… the neighborhood will decide.” Whatever the neighborhood does decide, Carter will deliver. The Bakehouse makes everything from scratch using local and organic ingredients, including its own cream and

homemade chorizo. True to the bakery’s promise, the chorizo was a request from one of the regulars. The breakfast menu includes a few egg choices, but the obvious star is “El Jefe,” a breakfast burrito with chorizo, scrambled eggs, black bean spread and avocado relish. You can taste the difference in the homemade breads when you eat one of their sandwiches. I tried the Chicken Chipotle for lunch. Made on a fresh focaccia role with juicy chicken breast covered in chipotle aioli and a delicious relish, this sandwich satisfied my hunger for only $7. Served with a mixed green salad, the

portion size was perfect for a quick lunch. The lunch menu also features a North Carolina Pulled Pork sandwich with a superior potato salad. For someone who claims, “I am not really a morning person,” Carter says he enjoys baking fresh pastries, including ham and cheese croissants and bear claws, every morning. The pastries are set out on a display case every morning at 7am so that customers can serve themselves. Depending on the day, there might even be scones and danishes. The pastry case sits right next to the ice cream freezer where customers can choose between the familiar, comfort flavors and the Bakehouse’s unique homemade flavors, like Cracker Jack and rum raisin. The croissants are rich and buttery and especially good if eaten when hot. Unfortunately for me, I arrived a few hours after they had cooled off. The menu appears small, but Carter creates specials everyday. Weekend specials for breakfast include French toast and biscuits and gravy. Another regular created a sandwich that will be added to the menu soon, called “The Momo.” The Momo is made up of turkey breast, roasted red peppers, avocado, Anaheim relish, red onion, and feta cheese, served on fresh focaccia. There are also cakes on display. A slice of chocolate strawberry cake goes for $2.95. 8 www.renopassport.com

The 5th Street Bakehouse is a full restaurant, serving breakfast and lunch all day, including coffee and soon beer and wine. They serve Truckee’s Bonzai Coffee, an organic and free trade coffee at a reasonable price. The Bakehouse also wholesales baked goods to coffeehouses and restaurants around town, including The Hub. If you are looking for fresh food and a chef who is eager to please, come on down to the 5th Street Bakehouse and let Daniel Carter know what you’re hungry for.

The Art of Homebrewing

Brewing your own beer is a very simple process. You basically start by boiling water and adding grains and hops to produce a wort. Once you cool the wort down, add yeast and stick it in a bucket for a week. Then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll siphon that into bottles or a keg, which need to be kept in the fridge for another two weeks. Finally, your beer is ready to drink. The process can become infinitely more complicated, but that is brewing at its most simple and basic level. Although making homemade beer intimidates a lot of people, Rob Bates, owner of Reno Homebrewer, says one need only be able to perform three tasks: boil water, keep everything sterile, and most difficult of all, wait three weeks. Getting Started Most homebrew stores have starter kits available for beginning beer makers. Kits come with two buckets (fermentors), airlocks, spouts, tubes, a bottle capper, caps and ingredients for the first batch of brew. The kit costs about $100 at Reno Homebrewer. 10 www.renopassport.com

Then you need a pot to boil the water, preferably a stainless steel pot that can hold at least six gallons. Restaurant supply stores have a wide selection of pots with good prices. A six-gallon (24-quart) stainless steel pot will cost about $90 at Resco. I would also recommend getting a five-gallon carboy, a glass ($44) or plastic ($25) water-cooler-like jug. The carboy fermenter is useful for a number of reasons, one of which is not needing to start a siphon, which is a pain in the ass. Buying an auto siphon costs $11 to $20 and will save you some grief. Now you can get started to brewing your own beer. But before you run out to the nearest homebrew store, we have some advice courtesy of Nevada Street Bucket Brewing. These tips should take you from rank amateur to the level of somewhat knowledgeable beer newbie. Continued on pg 12

Keeping Your Cool Finding a good place to keep your unfinished beer can be difficult. Beer ferments typically between 60 F and 75 F. Closets, cabinets or garages work well, but remember, the beer will suck the temperature from concrete. It’s crucial to ensure the beer isn’t anywhere too bright. A glass of water with a thermometer helps you get a good idea of what temperature your beer will be at. If you are having trouble keeping your beer cool, you can put it in a basin of water with a T-shirt over the bucket. The shirt will wick the water up the bucket, cooling the beer by 15 to 20 degrees.

Cleanliness Is Closest to Drunkenness The easiest and most important step for a good beer is to CLEAN EVERYTHING. Brewing beer is basically fermenting bacteria to produce that yummy alcohol. If foreign bacteria get into your brew, it’ll make it icky. And not the Icky you get from Great Basin Brewery… the kind of icky that makes you puke. Homebrew stores have great cleaners made specifically for brewing. A lot of brewers like the Star Sans line. Idofor is an iodine mixture so you don’t have to rinse off your equipment.

Brewing with B-Dub Photos by Mike Higdon

When Brandon Wright says he makes “hand-crafted” beer, he’s serious. “At big brewereries,” he says while shoveling grain into a dumpster, “they have machines for this.” But not at Silver Peak Restaraunt and Brewery. No, at Silver Peak every pint is brewed and poured with passion. And hard work. And with more than four million pints to his name in his four years as brewmaster, “B-Dub” knows his craft. Last month, Wright and the Silver Peak team left the brewery for a few days and attended the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. And although they didn’t bring home any hardware, it’s not too late to try some of the beer they entered. The next time you’re thirsty, stop by Wonder Street and throwback a tall, cold one. 14 www.renopassport.com

Third Annual Reno Zombie Crawl Oct. 30, 2010 at 8pm | Amendment 21 http://www.renozombiecrawl.com

What began as an excuse to get a few friends together has become one of the city’s biggest and funnest fall events as the Reno Zombie Crawl returns for its third year. The bar crawl, which will spread across more than 15 bars in the downtown Reno area, is expected to draw more than 3,000 participants dressed as zombies, victims and other similar characters. 16 www.renopassport.com

Event organizer and admitted zombie-fanatic Ed Adkins says that the crawl began in 2008 because he wanted to arrange a fun bar crawl to celebrate his October birthday with his friends. The response was overwhelming, with 300 people coming out that year, which then grew to more than 2,400 in 2009. “I never dreamt the crawl would grow this fast, but I guess that’s why zombies always Continued on pg 22

win,” said Adkins, who lives in and runs two businesses in downtown Reno. He says that his passion for the area comes from Reno’s unique nightlife. Citing the Santa and Superhero crawls organized by different groups as other examples, he believes the creativity and good nature of Reno’s residents along with its all-night bars make it the most fun city in the US. “We’ve got such an amazing 24-hour community in downtown that you don’t find anywhere else,” said Adkins. “And its evidenced by how many people love to get dressed up and participate in these themed crawls.” Similar to the previous years, the crawl will include inexpensive drink specials for participants as well as a collective dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller at some

point as well. Maps and cups will be available the night of the crawl for $5 at Amendment 21 (where the crawl officially starts), but a limited amount of $50 allyou-can-drink passes will go on sale before the event.

Eli Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frightfest

Text by Juliana Bledsoe Photos by David Calvert

ho better to enhance the Halloween experience with monsters and mystery than a professional magician and actor? Eli Kerr’s fifth annual Frightfest haunted house event returns to Meadowood Mall this year with over 7,000 feet of spine-chilling horror. “We’ve got a lot of new scares in there this year,” said Kerr as he worked on a few of the animatronic characters to be used in this year’s haunt. One particularly frightening figure returning this year is a convulsing dismembered grandma, complete with a walker and dangling entrails. Although some of the attractions are mechanical, the house is filled predominantly with live actors. “On average, there’s around 40 actors in the house each night,” Kerr said. This large-scale event enlists over 100 members in cast and crew, primarily volunteers, who show up to help after hearing about it and keep coming back each year. “He’s really fun to work with,” said Kerr’s sister and magician’s assistant, Katie Kerr. “We’re lucky to have all those people and all the support.” The actors get the opportunity to play up the fear factor as much as possible with full costumes and makeup. Last year, they used between five and eight gallons of fake blood throughout the event. Continued on pg 18 www.renopassport.com 21

“Another fun fact is that we go through about four giant bags of cough drops for the actors from all the screaming,” said friend and actor Andrew Ardens. Ardens has routinely provided the first scare of the house and also spearheads the 22 www.renopassport.com

“zombertizing” for the event, which includes passing out flyers around town in full zombie attire, never breaking character. For Kerr, creating the haunted house was a natural progression from his full-time career as a stage magician. “It actually started out as a side job,” said Eli. “Me and a friend started talking about how fun it would be to do a haunted house, and then I got a few monsters from a guy I knew, which got the ball rolling.” Despite the enormous amount of work, Eli has decided to keep bringing the haunted house back year after year. He has collected thousands of pounds of canned food donations for the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. “It’s like a challenge for him every year. I think he’s addicted,” said Katie. “He always loved Halloween as a kid too. He had several costumes so we’d go out trick-or-treating, and then he’d go home and change and go out again.” Eli is also a welder and fabricator, and he makes much of what audiences see in the haunted house, in addition to making his own stage props and illusions. “I love performing, but I love to get dirty and weld and build stuff as well,” said Eli. “I build just about all of my props myself.” Eli started practicing magic as a hobby at age six, and it progressed quickly from there to him performing his first casino show when he was 15. He appeared in season 2 of NBC’s TV show “America’s Got Talent” and has been voted best magician in the Reno News and Review’s “Best of Northern Nevada” Guide. Eli is working on a possible small upcoming tour as well as on pitching three different reality tv shows. He is available for booking at www.elikerr.com. •

Also a writer, a painter, and a dancer, Friscia’s love for self-expression and healing through art is apparent when asked about the inspiration behind Ananda Designs. “I create my designs based on color therapy principles, which is geared towards healing you on energetic and psycho-spiritual levels based on the reactions caused in the brain by different colors as well as the different vibrations carried by the rocks themselves,” said Friscia. With the use of semi-precious stones and crystals, most of which are mined and/or easily found in our region, accompanied by excellent craftsmanship, Friscia creates attractive jewelry 24 www.renopassport.com

pieces that are simple yet slick and eyecatching. Her designs appeal to a wide audience – females as

well as males – and they are not only up with the latest fashion styles, but also carry special healing properties for the person wearing it. “In our everyday lives, we are surrounded with electromagnetic smog, and we, as electro-magnetic beings, can be affected by it, especially in an office environment with lots of machines,” said Friscia. “These stones are meant to ground and balance your energy to keep those disturbances from affecting you, so my main gig is not only to create beautiful pieces that are good to look

at, but also something that you feel good wearing. Plus I’m a total rock nerd, so it’s a great excuse for me to be playing with crystals.” Friscia specializes in custom work for individual people, but she also has pieces for sale at Never Ender and the Kalifornia Jean Bar in Reno.

The Power of Ten – Walk to Cure Diabetes 10.10.10 at 10am | UNR Knowledge Center 775.786.1881 | northernnevada@jdrf.org You ask one person, and they ask one person, and together, we’re significantly closer to the cure. On Oct. 10, 2010 (10.10.10) at 10am, over 5,000 people will participate in the Walk to Cure Diabetes on the campus of UNR. The Walk, also known by many children with juvenile (or type 1) diabetes as the Day of Hope, is the largest annual fundraising event for the Northern Nevada branch of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). JDRF has a singular mission: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. The Reno-based Walk raised over a quarter of a million dollars in 2009 to help bring a cure home to Northern Nevada for the over 250,000 Nevadans with diabetes. The Walk ventures around the University campus twice, and each loop is approximately 2.5 miles. Registration begins at 9am with the Walk starting at 10 am from the front of the Knowledge Center and Student Union. The event is both family and dog 30 www.renopassport.com

friendly, offering all the Starbucks you can drink, lunch and activities along the route. It’s also an opportunity for corporate participation through sponsorship or forming a Walk team. Corporate teams offer an opportunity to strengthen employee morale while giving back to the community, and sponsorship is an easy way to increase the visibility of your brand to over 5,000 potential customers. The management team of Signature Landscapes and Reno Lawn and Landscape - Lebo Newman, Rick Clark and Justin Trimble – have been named as corporate co-chairs. Changing and improving landscapes is what this team of co-chairs know best, and they are deeply committed to raising money to fund research so that the landscape for people with diabetes is changed completely someday soon – through a cure. They also know that by doing good, good will come back. “The walk is a wonderful, feel-good, dogood event for a company team and can cre-

state of Nevada alone, it accounts for $167 million annually. 24 million American adults and children have diabetes, and in the next 30 seconds, another person will be diagnosed. Sadly, one out of every three children born in the U.S. will develop some form of diabetes in their lifetime. Make the Power of Ten work for all children with juvenile diabetes on 10.10.10. Call 775.786.1881 or email northernnevada@jdrf.org for more information on powering a difference. Text by Julie M. Malkin Photos provided by organization
