Sugano There seems to be a trend in sushi joints in Lexington: The more authentic the atmosphere, the more obscure the location. This certainly holds true for Sugano, located on Eastland Parkway just outside New Circle Road. A classic hole-in-the-wall, the restaurant features a distinct lack of signage. Once you grace the door, you’ll find that the restaurant is rather casual, cozy and, well ... in need of an upgrade. That being said, the restaurant is always clean; the staff is very friendly and accommodating; and the menu is hand-written by Mr. Sugano. Don’t expect hibachi tables, flaming volcanoes or rolls stuffed with cream cheese. What you can expect is some of the most authentic sushi and Japanese fare in town. Sugano is the type of place you skip lunch for. If you want a fancy interior and a trendy place to take guests, this may not be for you. If you want to impress the foodies in your life... this is the place.

Tachibana If you’re looking for old-school sushi fare, go no further than Tachibana. Continuing in the theme of odd locations, the restaurant is just north of New Circle Road off of Newtown Pike. The exterior of the building resembles an authentic, traditional Japanese restaurant. The interior, while spacious, could use some updating, but the sushi makes up for it. Tachibana features a sushi bar, teppanyaki grills (hibachi), an authentic tatami room and a karaoke room. It also serves excellent soba and udon noodles, as well as other Japanese favorites. The sushi rolls are fairly straight forward, and a picture menu comes in handy for newbies. If you’re looking for the original Lexington sushi experience, this is the place for you. 785 NEWTOWN COURT WWW.TACHIBANARESTAURANT.COM 254-1911

The Red Devil Roll is the house specialty. Made with red snapper tempura with shredded crab (sticks) and spicy sauce, it’s a great option for amateurs and pros alike.

Tomo Tomo breaks the mold of obscurely located, aging sushi joints in Lexington. Located in Chevy Chase, the remodeled restaurant is modern and classy without feeling stuffy or intimidating. And, well, they have really nice bathrooms. The staff and chefs are friendly and the sushi is excellent. Somewhat less traditionally focused, the chefs create innovative rolls that look, as well as taste, great. For a great non-traditional experience, try the Godzilla Roll. Non-sushi favorites include the katsu curry and the various udon and soba options. Tomo is a great place to take a date or a group out for a sophisticated, yet unpretentious, dinner on the town.

Miyako Miyako is a Japanese sushi and hibachi restaurant located off Richmond Road just outside of New Circle Road. Located in a former Uno’s Pizzeria building, Miyako does a nice job of melding the disparate decors. If you’re ordering sushi, the bar would be the best place to be, as the rest of the restaurant is devoted to hibachi tables. The Pink Lady roll, Dancing Tuna and Green Demon rolls are worth looking into. Miyako is a great casual place for sushi with family or friends any night of the week. 2547 RICHMOND ROAD WWW.MIYAKORESTAURANT.COM 268-0708

From Flame to Farm BY RONA ROBERTS | CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Fresh, free food spills through the slats of the iconic multi-colored fence at 4th Street Farm, a three-year old oasis of beauty, hope and health in Lexington’s East End neighborhood. Why garden in a narrow, one-tenth acre lot in an urban neighborhood? For longtime east-enders Geoff and Sherry Maddock –– gardeners by birth, training, and experience –– it’s a matter of mission, faith, and repairing the world.
When the house next door to their East End residence burned down, Geoff and Sherry Maddock, above, took the opportunity to turn the empty lot into a small urban sanctuary of farm fresh produce. PHOTOS BY SARAH JANE SANDERS

F
ourth Street Farm started with two kinds of fire. The literal fire came first. “I was sitting in a neighborhood meeting in October 2009, when someone came in the back and said, ‘the house next to yours is on fire,’” said Sherry Maddock. The building, a purple cinderblock fourplex at 264 E. Fourth Street in Lexington’s East End neighborhood, burned beyond repair. Next door, at the corner of Elm Tree Lane and E. Fourth, the Maddocks’ 129-yearold house and its serene, productive 5-yearold kitchen garden survived without damage. Sherry and her husband, Geoff, watched the ruins from their side windows as the second fire, the figurative one, began to spark. “I was reading ‘Farm City’ and burning with ideas about what we could do next door,” Sherry said, referencing Novella Carpenter’s groundbreaking description of raising animals and vegetables in abandoned space in Oakland, Calif. In 2010, a family member of the couple bought the one-tenth acre lot and burned out building next door to the Maddocks’ home, and invited Geoff and Sherry to use it for good. After observing and planning for nearly a year, in 2011 they planted the first crops. The tiny “demonstration garden” now showcases a bounty of flowers and edible plants, from herbs and tomatoes to fruit trees and asparagus. The Maddocks’ decision to add “urban farmers” and “micro-enterprise developers” to their resumés stemmed, in part, from Wendell Berry’s teachings about forming deep roots
20 | Southsider Magazine May 2014
and forging lasting bonds of affection in one’s community. Guided by their chosen principles of generosity and hospitality, the couple already regularly hosted neighbors at their table for dinner or cups of tea; they also spent their energy helping find health care for the ill and injured and helping refugees solve seemingly impossible problems. Showing their neighbors how to grow their own food and make income from food production seemed a useful next step. Sherry, a trained Fayette County Master Gardener, and Geoff, who grew up on an Australian dairy farm, met at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Ky., where each completed a master of arts in mission studies. Living a life of loving service to their East End neighbors became their own mission. Today, 4th Street Farm thrives as a privately owned, publicly welcoming example of urban food production and environmental stewardship. Its roots draw physical nourishment from rich Bluegrass soil and spiritual strength from the Hebrew concept of tikkun olam, translated as “repairing the world.” “We choose to see that God is at work mending the universe, particularly in the garden, and especially when that garden is located where a burned, abandoned building used to be,” Sherry said. Starting with a cleared, empty plot, and curious about how to expand from gardening to farming, the Maddocks studied permaculture, a framework for using nature’s principles CONTINUED ON PAGE 24 ➤

The chicken coop was designed and painted by David and Lisa Adkins, friends of the Maddocks, and the plot also features handpainted signs by local aritist Pat Gerhard. PHOTOS BY SARAH JANE SANDERS

Recipe for a Summer Garden Tailored specifically for a small backyard plot in Lexington, Ky.
The Step by Step Preparation time: 2-3 hours on a sunny afternoon Growing time: 1-5 months Harvest: Times will vary Feeds: 2-6 people Equipment: Spade or shovel, trowel, rake, gloves, garden scissors or pruning shears, hose, stakes or cages for climbing vegetables, string, row markers or labels
BY SHERRY MADDOCK, PROPRIETOR OF 4TH STREET FARM When Derby Day arrives, it’s time to plant a summer garden in Lexington. This recipe provides suggested ingredients and steps for the cultivation of a 4-by-8-foot plot. Using in-season ingredients from local sources, this garden requires creativity, patience, atte ntion and presence, and produces a surprising amount of fresh pro duce and joy. Before you begin, gather and prepare all your ingredients. Be sure to include culinary herbs such as basil, oregano, Kentucky Colonel mint, chives, thyme or dill, and a diversity of plan t varieties, heirlooms if possible. When you buy local plants that have started their life in this region, they are more likely to thrive.
RECOMMENDED LOCAL SOURCES Plants and seeds: • Lexington Farmers Market • Michler’s • Fayette Seed • Good Foods Co-op • Henkle’s Herbs and Heirlooms • Blue Moon Garlic • Southern States • Bill Best at Sustainable Mountain Ag Center (located in Berea, Ky.)
INGREDIENTS 1. Good soil 2. Compost or organic fertilizer 3. Mulch 4. Water 5. Sunlight 6. Plants: • Heirloom tomatoes: recommended varieties include “Vinson Watts” (from Morehead, Ky.), “Granny Cantrell’s German Pink/Red,” “T.C. Jones,”
“Matt’s Wild Cherry” (available at Michler’s) • Peppers • Kale • Summer lettuce variety (I like “Jericho” or “French Batavian”) • Beets • Kentucky Wonder bush beans or “Mary Moore Greasy” beans from Jackson Co., Ky. – see Bill Best’s heirlooms • Cucumbers
DIRECTIONS 1. Select a garden site with plenty of sun (6-8 hours a day). 2. Decide what to grow. Make a list of plants and buy locally; remember to consider what you like to eat most. See our recommendations for local sources on the opposite page. Once you have decided what you want to grow, sketch a design for the garden and measure a 4-by-8-foot plot. 3. If necessary, remove grass, all weeds and their roots. Clear area.
Mulch, compost, tools: • Landscaper’s Corner – “Living Mulch”(compost/ mulch blend) • Chevy Chase Hardware
4. Prepare soil for planting. It is advisable to get your soil tested (see Fayette Co. Cooperative Extension). Add additional soil if needed and mix in compost. Do not work the soil when wet. The best condition for bed preparation is a sunny, dry day without rain the past few days. After bed preparation is finished, refrain from walking on or stepping in the garden, as it will compact soil and roots (or use our suggested design).
Educational resources: • The Fayette Co. Cooperative Extension is a great resource for publications about planting locally, as well as for soil testing assistance. The best local and regional resource for growing vegetables in Kentucky, “Vegetable Cultivars for Kentucky Gardens (ID-133),” is available in full at their website (fayette.ca.uky.edu – search for the title under the “Publications” tab).
5. Arrange plants with proper spacing on top of the garden bed according to design plan. At this point, you can use wooden stakes and string for straight lines; otherwise, dig holes and add a cup of compost to each. Follow any specific directions accompanying each plant. Gently remove the plants from the growing containers without lifting by the stem. Carefully loosen the roots of each plant and put in at the recommended depth of the soil line. Do not bury too deep. Lightly press soil around the plants. 6. Water upon planting and repeat as needed during the growing season depending on the weather. If rain is inadequate (less than 1 inch/week), then it is better to water deeply once a week. It is preferable to water in the morning. 7. Mulch generously after planting. Add a 2-3 inch layer. This will act as a weed barrier and preserve moisture. Cover all the soil in the plot, leaving a small space only around the base of the plants. Use organic sources of mulch such as shredded hardwood, straw, leaves, or grass clippings. Avoid mulch with dyes or additives. See notes for a preferred option called “living mulch.”
• Lexington Public Library and local book stores are also a great resource for helpful books on gardening and planting. • Local non-profit Seedleaf can provide master community garden and compost training.
8. Weed regularly so your plants don’t have competition for nutrients and water. 9. Spend time in your garden. Care for it weekly. Harvest with joy. Eat sun-warmed from the garden, or prepare your own Bluegrass plate.

to produce food, care for the environment, and live well on the earth. One of permaculture’s main tenets suggests, “Use edges and value the marginal: The interface between things is where the most interesting events take place.” The busy corner of Elm Tree Lane and East Fourth Street serves as a noteworthy Lexington edge. “We live at an intersection,” Geoff said. “Most people would see this busy corner as a liability; we see the goodness of the intersection.” With visibility on two sides, the garden invites neighbors and others in the community to come and go. According to Geoff, the set-up encourages gleaning berries and other food along the edges, as well as conversation across the fence. “It’s not just where we live,” he added. “Our very being becomes intersection.” The narrow city lot serves as a living laboratory for discovering what will thrive in a small urban space. Where water naturally finds its own way into the northeast corner, a rain garden flourishes, complete with water-

loving trees and plants. Beehives and a handsome chicken coop join permanent plantings of vegetables, herbs, and fruits around the edges of the lot, leaving the center for raised beds of strawberries, vegetables, and pollinator-friendly plants. The multi-colored fence facing Fourth Street and beautiful, painted wood signs by Pat Gerhard, owner of the N. Limestone coffee and gift shop Third Street Stuff, signal the farm’s welcoming ways. “This farm has schooled us on generosity and hospitality,” Sherry said. “We learned that we had to be hospitable to bees, for exam-

ple. They need the blooms of parsley, carrots, dill, Echinacea.” Sherry added that the urban chickens, housed in coops on the property, provide plenty of eggs to share with neighbors and friends. “One seed produces many fruits,” she said. The Maddocks intend for 4th Street Farm’s impact to extend to helping neighbors develop food-based micro-enterprises. Neighbors can learn how to use their own small urban spaces to cultivate and sell high-demand food crops like raspberries, which, being hard to ship, work perfectly as hyper-local crops. Born in flames, 4th Street Farm now illuminates what happens when people work with nature in a partnership for good. Sherry notes that a thoughtful, knowledgeable person can plant a specific tree in a specific spot and accomplish wonders. “Sustainability, environmentally critical initiatives, and food can all be the same thing — a fruit tree on the corner of the city block gets to do all those things,” she said. “It produces food, filters water, cleans our air, provides shade, and absorbs heat.” That’s repairing the world. ss

Jackie Betts’ Pie Dough
On Our Table
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie RECIPE BY JIM BETTS OF BLUEGRASS BAKING COMPANY I don’t recall having a rhubarb pie — let alone a strawberry rhubarb pie — when I was growing up in Iowa. But I vividly remember growing rhubarb behind our cardinal-red shed that masqueraded as a garage. Each spring, I would saunter to our back yard, armed with a bowl of sugar, crack off the shiniest, most crimson stalk of broad-leafed rhubarb I could find, plunge it into the sugar and crunch my way through that tart sweet interplay exploding in my mouth. This recipe is a bit more sophisticated, but I hope it awakens in you that same pleasure of springtime. ss
What can I say? My mom is the best cook I know, and this is the best, most reliable pie dough recipe I have encountered. She still comes by the bakery and inspects the product from time to time, to make sure I still know how to make them right. • 2½ cups pie flour • 1 teaspoon salt • ¾ cup shortening • ½ cup cold water • Combine flour and salt in large bowl. • Add shortening. Cut in with fingers in an uplifting, child-playing-with-sand-at-thebeach technique. Take your time. Aerate the flour and shortening until it resembles small peas scattered throughout the flour. • Add water all at once. Combine just until all the dry bits hold together. Use a light touch. • Divide into two pieces. • Roll the first one out to fit your pie pan. • Fill with cooled pie filling. (It can be room temperature, just not hot.) • Roll out second piece of dough and either cut strips to form a lattice, or place whole piece on top to cover filling. • Pinch edges in a decorative fashion. • Brush with egg glaze for (a golden finish); place in preheated 375 degree oven. • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until it looks sumptuous. • Cool until you can’t stand it any longer. Eat.

Southsider’s Drink of the Month
Franco-Dutch
Julep
Tired of the same old mint julep? This international spin on the classic Kentucky cocktail incorporates the traditional Dutch spirit genever — a malty, botanical liquor that is considered the national spirit of the Netherlands — and the French apple-flavored brandy Dauphine Pays d’Auge, served in a traditional julep cup. INGREDIENTS • 1 oz. Bols Genever • 1 oz. of Dauphine Pays d’Auge • 1/2 oz. simple syrup • 1 dash Angostura orange bitters • 2 sprigs of fresh mint • Cobbled ice • Seasonal berries
DIRECTIONS Using a julep cup, rub one sprig of mint inside the tin to release oils, then discard. Add the booze, bittters and syrup to the julep cup; stir. Add cobbled ice and pull up with bar spoon until dilution is reached. Pack with cobbled ice hard and stop dilution. Garnish with mint, small stir straw and seasonal berries.

ost fans of the Lexington-based Blind Corn Liquor Pickers know the bluegrass-influenced band for the mountain-soaked music they have produced for more than a dozen years. But for an important music video they created last fall, the seven-piece band abandoned that sound for a few minutes, turned up the electric guitar, and pushed out a hard-rockin’ rendition of Mötley Crüe’s “Kickstart My Heart.” The video was created for a Kickstarter campaign that helped actualize a project the band’s founder and banjoist, Travis Young, had been kicking around in his head for years: an outdoor festival focused on championing Kentucky music. Thanks in part to the 100-plus people who contributed to the online crowdfunding campaign, which met its goal by more than 150 percent, the inaugural Moonshiner’s Ball will bring together dozens of live music and spoken word acts, many from Lexington, for a weekend-long festival in Berea on May 9-11. The Blind Corn Liquor Pickers are no strangers to bending and exploring new genres. Over the course of their career, they’ve shifted from a four-piece traditional bluegrass act into more of a collective, steadily incorporating elements of blues, psychedelia, jazz and rock into their sound. The ever-changing dynamic has served as a motivation for the band, inspiring its members to continue to shift and evolve. “It’s one of the only things that really keeps us going,” said mandolin player Joel Serdenis, who is the only remaining original member of the band aside from Young. “If we were the same [original] four-piece, I doubt we would have lasted as long. Every Moonshiner’s Ball poster art time you reconfigure, you have to created by Homegrown Press morph, and as long as something good comes out of that, you go on.” With a lineup focusing almost AT A GLANCE: entirely on acts that are either from Kentucky or have a strong connecMoonshiner’s Ball tion to the state, the festival proMay 9-11, 2014 vides an opportunity for the band A first-year, weekend-long festival to reunite with many of its past featuring live music, spoken word, members and friends they’ve made camping, food trucks, vendors and on the road. more.

Also on the bill are Vandaveer, a Washington, D.C.based alt-folk act fronted by former Kentuckian Mark Heidinger (a college pal of Young’s), and the Greenville-based bluegrass/jam band Tonight’s Noise, which features another former bass player of the Blind Corn Liquor Pickers. Lexington writer Ed “Captain Kentucky” McClanahan –– a close friend of the band’s, whose 1970s Playboy article about Lexington character “Little Enis” was the inspiration for one of their early songs –– is among several Kentucky authors who will read on a literary stage curated by Holler Poets founder Eric Sutherland.

“The worst case scenario is that it’s an awesome party with all the people we love in one place,” Young said with a laugh. With professions that range from teaching to tending bar to interpreting Japanese, Young and the other band members serve as the festival’s sole organizers. They’ve taken on roles that range from booking the line-up and designing the website, to coordinating volunteers and ordering official festival merchandise –– “stuff you don’t conceive of until you’re fully committed,” Young admits. “There’s a lot of work,” he said. “It’s good though –– it’s fun and exciting. It’s year one, so it feels like all the work is going to pay off.” Playing hundreds of gigs over the years –– from hometown gigs at their favorite local venue, Al’s Bar, to national festivals with 30,000-plus attendees –– may not have fully prepared the band for all of the detailoriented tasks they’ve encountered planning this event, but it has definitely informed one thing: the way they plan to treat the artists. “If you were to look online on how to produce a festival, there’s information out there that basically says you book your headliners and then you book all the local bands to play for free,” Young said. “This is a proven strategy for festival design out there, and believe me, it’s well in practice.” TRAVIS YOUNG, FESTIVAL ORGANIZER It’s a practice that BCLP has encountered several times as performers, and precisely one they don’t want to employ with the Moonshiner’s Ball. “We want to pay every artist –– if not what they deserve in some Utopian world, at least something reasonable, something they can be happy to get,” Young said, “and then to provide them with an experience as a performer that they’re going to appreciate.” “For better or for worse, we will probably always approach this as artists who have played festivals for so many years, which means we’re probably not very good businessmen,” he added with a laugh.
“The worst case scenario is that it’s an awesome party with all the people we love in one place.”
