Harty said he was bored in retirement and wanted to take a stab at a new business.

Sponsored by the Springfield Business Improvement District, the event will raise awareness for the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Western Mass.

The music begins at noon and continues through 10 p.m. Admission is free.

Liner notes • It has been 30 years since the release of Skid Row’s self-titled debut and lead singer Sebastian Bach has launched an anniversary tour that will play Connecticut.

Bach comes to the Stafford Palace Theater in Stafford Springs tomorrow at 8:30 p.m.

Tickets are available through the venue website at thestaffordpalacetheater. com.

Bach is the only member of the original Skid Row on the tour although he has extended an open invitation for the others to join in the celebration.

Sebastian Bach is part of local concert folklore due to an incident in 1989 (opening for Aerosmith at the Springfield Civic Center), when he was arrested for hurling a bottle into the crowd.

Gilman had a “second act” of sorts in 2016 when he showed up on Season 11 of “The Voice,” and as a member of Adam Levine’s team he went all the way to the finals and finished second overall.

• Country singer Drake White has canceled his show at the Big E. White and his band The Big Fire were scheduled to open the fair on Sept. 13 with a performance at the Court of Honor stage.

According to John Juliano of

Mellowship Entertainment, who books entertainment for the fair, White has canceled his tour due to health concerns.

White will be undergoing treatment for a brain arteriovenous malformation, which mayoclinic.org describes as “a tangle of abnormal blood vessels connecting arteries and veins in the brain.”

White was recently diagnosed with the problem after stumbling on stage at a concert in Virginia.

items, so I will have stained glass and some fused glass for the coming fall and winter, including the Halloween and Christmas holidays,” she added.

Other items for sale will include sun catchers, night lights, mirrors, novelty figurines, as well as ladies pendants and pins to wear on clothing.

“I’ve been working with wood since a young age ... doing it for some 60 years,” said Gouvin about his carvings.

He said it was McCarroll who actually encouraged him to apply to show at Mattoon Street.

“Bob came into my studio at Indian Orchard Mills and saw my work,” Gouvin said.

Among his many items for sale, which Gouvin noted are made to look primitive, will be

little statues, nautical themed pieces such as mermaids, all kinds of signs and even a paper-mâché chef.

The wood carver noted he gets his wood from an area sawmill “from hopefully storm-damaged trees.”

“We also have a new young artist exhibiting with us who participated in the recent Art Stop(s) pop up galleries in

downtown Springfield that was organized by the Springfield Cultural Partnership,” McCarroll said about Eliza Jane Moser.

The contemporary realist painter developed an interest in classical art and began her study of traditional realist techniques at the age of 14.

Her desire to learn more about the techniques of the old masters lead her to Florence, Italy, where she enrolled in the Florence Academy of Art to study oil painting. She

is currently focusing on creating a body of her own work for sale that merges the ideals of classic technique with current ideas expressive of her own artistic voice.

The festival also pays tribute to the culinary and entertainment arts with food stations – including NOSH, Cajun to Go, Moe’s Dogs, Mexicana, Island Cow Ice Cream and Sidecar Bakery – and strolling entertainers.

Admission to the art fest is free.

The quaint backdrop of Mattoon Street in Springfield with its Victorian rowhouses provides the perfect ambiance for this weekend’s 47th edition of the Mattoon Street Arts Festival.

The longest running arts festival in the Pioneer Valley, featuring artisan-made crafts and fine art, begins Saturday and continues on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Over 100 artists and crafters will be selling their creations in a variety of categories including painting and printmaking, photography, jewelry, wood, metal, ceramics, glass, fibers, and mixed media.

“We have a high return rate among our exhibitors, nearly 80%, who are very loyal.

What that tells me is that they enjoy the environment we provide for our arts festival and that there are customers who are buying,” said Robert McCarroll, a member of the Mattoon Street Historic Preservation Society, sponsors of the event.

“We sold all of our exhibitor space for this year by Memorial Day,” he added.

Among the new exhibitors at Mattoon Street this year will be Eliza Jane Moser of Springfield, Cyndy Ford of Cyndy’s Stained Glass in East Longmeadow, and Alan Gouvin of Gouvin Folk Art in Springfield.

“This is the first outdoors show I have done in a long time. I have heard so much about Mattoon Street and other crafter friends who exhibit at the show said it was time for me to come down and exhibit there. So, I applied and was accepted,” Ford said.

“I like to create seasonal

ommunity, friendship and the Greek culture may be the backbone of Glendi each year since 1978, but the real star is the food which attracts hungry return and new visitors each year.

The annual celebration of everything Greek – sponsored by St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral – begins tomorrow and runs through Sunday at the Greek Cultural Center in Springfield.

Admission to Glendi is $1, which includes a Glendi raffle ticket good for an outdoor gas grill worth $1,000, two $1,000 cash prizes, and plenty more in cash and prizes.

“Greek is my first language.

It is part of my culture. People come to visit Glendi to hear the music and watch the dancers, eat all the food, see

old friends and take a tour of the cathedral. For those who aren’t Greek, it is an opportunity for them to learn about the Hellenic culture and our Greek Orthodox religion,” said Xenophon Beake, return chair of this year’s Glendi 2019.

“I get goosebumps when I hear the music and smell all the food and see people sharing in the food and pastries and talking to one another and having a good time. I never hear a complaint. And, I have to give credit to all the dedicated people who make this happen, from our

committee members to all the volunteers and the food workshop coordinators,” he added, noting he serves as chair to honor his late wife and immigrant parents and to devote as much time as possible to his church.

As for the food, all of the Greek favorites will return from gyros to baklava and from spanakopita to those “oh so good” lamb shanks, and plenty more.

“Everything is baked and cooked in-house. For our grape leaves, for example, parishioners go out into the country and pick them, they

don’t buy them. Preparations begin in July with a series of 15 workshops to start making all the foods. Henry Ford would be so proud of the assembly line that goes into their making,” Beake said.

In addition to all the food, the event also features live Greek music provided by Hellenic Express, Greek folk dancing performed by the Glendi Dancers decked out in traditional Greek costumes, guest dancers from the Cretan Club and St. Luke’s, youth activities, as well as Greek imports for SEE GLENDI, PAGE E12

Center Square Grill offers creative fare, stylish surroundings

I

F WE DIDN’T KNOW BETTER, we would’ve sworn it was the weekend when we visited Center Square Grill on a Tuesday night. Everything about the bustling, sophisticated atmosphere had us feeling like a Friday night out.

The East Longmeadow hot spot truly epitomizes the style of dining most in favor these days: a stylish yet casual atmosphere where diners can come dressed to impress or in jeans and a T-shirt, and enjoy New American cuisine that includes everything from sandwiches to a lobster dinner.

We just knew that we might be in for a treat when the sixteen appetizers on the menu read so well that we had trouble narrowing it down to two. So often faced with the standard litany of fried items to start, having to choose between options like Bam Bam Shrimp Lettuce Wraps ($11); Gorgonzola Fondue Tower ($10); and Lobster & Sweet Pea Ravioli ($14) was a task we welcomed.

And when it all shook out we landed in two totally different places with Bill Wagner’s Frisky Oysters for $14 and the General Tso’s Cauliflower for $12.

Our four oysters were billed as baked with citrus parmesan butter, charred corn, fresh herbs and Andouille sausage.

The mild oysters had a definite citrus twang up front and the bits of salty, crisp sausage made for a pleasant textural contrast. But the dish was less complex in person than on the page mostly due to an overly generous portioning of cheese that overwhelmed the other more delicate aspects of the starter.

We must admit though that even the best oyster may have been overshadowed by the impressive cauliflower dish we chose as our second starter. Yes, I said impressive cauliflower dish. The twice cooked cauliflower was roasted then lightly fried before being topped with a General Tso’s sauce that was as good as any we’d had thanks to a well-balanced orange-y sweetness and a respectable flash of Szechuan pepper heat. The topping of chopped peanuts, black and white sesame seeds and sliced green onions displayed the kitchen’s keen attention to detail and provided the perfect nutty finish. Not a vegetarian amongst us, we were still left longing for a full entree portion of the dish with a bowl of Jasmine rice on the side.

At Center Square Grill salads do double duty as either second courses or as entrees when the popular “Add a

show, clearly overshadowing both the noodles and the accompanying coleslaw.

While Center Square Grill’s chef most definitely showcases (HOANG ‘LEON’ NGUYEN / THE REPUBLICAN) his creative flair and culinary prowess with the composed dishes that make up the bulk of the menu, he is not too arrogant to leave some choices to his guests.

The entree category entitled “Simply Grilled” allows diners to choose a protein, a sauce, two sides and optional toppers such as a Shrimp Skewer (+$6), Crab Cake with Remoulade (+$7), or Hot Buttered Lobster Meat ($+14). Our Grilled Atlantic Salmon for $24 boasted impressive grill marks and a subtle smokiness not often achieved with grilled fish, and our choice of the White Bordeaux Butter Sauce demonstrated the saucier’s impeccable skills. And there’s truly something for everyone to build upon, from a Beyond Burger ($15) to a Smoked Pork Chop ($23) to Filet ents. Next time we might try one of the Mignon ($30).

Delivery services mean new challenges for restaurants

A

PREVIOUS “OFF the Menu” column touched on how the growth of restaurant delivery has been accelerating and how research into consumer preferences suggests that trend will only continue.

There’s no doubt that delivery has, in the past at least, represented a good business opportunity for those who run restaurants. Delivery customers, after all, produce incremental revenue without the expense of maintaining dining rooms staff and space. Moreover, those delivery sales could usually be produced without having to add additional backof-the-house personnel or kitchen facilities.

But as delivery (and take out) become a bigger and bigger part of a restaurant’s total business, cost efficiencies are no longer as obvious, as one set of expenses – maintaining a restaurant’s dining room – are

replaced with those reflecting the additional people, space, and equipment needed to support high levels of delivery traffic.

Other aspects of restaurant delivery present a separate set of problems. Major pizza chains, for instance, have long struggled to find the combination of technology, ingredients, and procedures that ensured their delivered crust-and-sauce handiwork arrived “hot and fresh.” Now other segments of the food service have to confront a similar dilemma – how to get their product to delivery customers in a high-quality, “straight from the kitchen” condition. Not every dish travels well, and both menus and recipes will need to be reworked to optimize the delivered restaurant experience.

Many of the traditional brands are already tackling these issues, working with manufacturers and food suppliers on

How much does temperature affect a wine’s taste?

T

HERE ARE SO many things that go into making a wine taste a certain way.

The soil where the grapes are grown.

When the grapes are harvested.

Whether the grapes are aged in oak barrels or steel tanks.

And how many weeks or months those grapes stay in those containers.

And even after the wine is put into bottles, there are many different factors that can affect how a wine tastes.

How the wine’s transported.

When the bottle’s opened.

Even the shape of the wine glass can sometimes be an issue.

There’s also another important detail that wine

In general, most people serve white wines chilled and red wines at room temperature. So depending on the temperature of your refrigerator or your house, many white wines are served somewhere in the 40 degree range and Ken Ross many red wines in the upper Wine Press 60 to low 70 degree range.

The results?

The differences between the warm and chilled white wines were very subtle and yet very surprising. But when it came to the red wines, the warm and chilled versions of the same wine were practically completely different wines.

This wine tasted delicious at room temperature (about 68 degrees) and exhibited many of the refreshing flavors I associate with this delightful, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The signature fresh cut grass flavors were there. But they were much more subtle, much more subdued. There were also hints of melon and a slight sparkling wine quality as well.

Berkshire Brewing to celebrate 25 years

W

HILE THERE seems to be a new brewery popping up on every corner these days (not that I’m complaining), we sometimes have to stand back and tip our hats to the first breweries that set the table for craft beer in the Pioneer Valley.

The first one, of course, was the Northampton Brewery, which is still going strong at 32 years. Others include The People’s Pint and Amherst Brewing Co. But today we are toasting — or getting ready to toast — Berkshire Brewing Co. in South Deerfield, which will celebrate its 25 anniversary at the Franklin County Fair-

grounds on Sept. 28 As a guy who has been around for a few years, I have known the brewery’s owner and co-founder Garry Bogoff for many of the past 25 years, and along with being a fantastic brewer, he is also one heck of a nice guy who knows how to run a business.

And one thing he was on the forefront of way back in 1994 was making sure the beer people drank from Berkshire was fresh. That commitment, along with an arsenal of great beers, set Berkshire apart.

Of course a lot has changed since Bogoff and Chris Lalli started brewing just seven barrels at a time. (Lalli left the brewery a few years ago.)

The company now owns its own canning line and distributes a broad range of year-round and seasonal ales and lagers to locations across New England. But the brewery keeps it regional in order to ensure that the freshness factor is still in place.

And while the brewery’s range of great beers has grown immensely, its original Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale has served as a gateway beer for years for those dipping their toes in the craft beer for the first time. It’s the perfect piece of craft brewing that is balanced and a nice way for skeptics to enter the world of craft beer.

Anyway, the bash on Sept.

28 will feature music from NRBQ Headquarters, Clean Living, and other local acts, including Flying Saucer Band, She Said, and Berkshire’s own Cold Windy Nips.

Workers will be pouring as many favorite Berkshire brews as they can bring, which will include gluten-free options from Ginger Libation, Nine Pin Cider and Pumphouse Wines.

There will also be a variety of different food trucks, including Cousins Maine Lobster, Fancheezical, Goten of Japan and Dean’s Beans Organic Coffee Company.
