IN OUR WORDS

A full plate Nashvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evolving culinary scene

I

envy Nashville college students these days. When I attended Belmont in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, our dining options were slim and our coffee choices were even slimmer.

We had Hillsboro Village, albeit much smaller than it is today, for local food and drink, but 12South, East Nashville and Germantown werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even on our radar. They were neighborhoods best avoided at night. And during the day.

Nowadays, when it comes to dining, Nashvilliansâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;college students or notâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have endless options at their fingertips. Pick a neighborhood, any neighborhood, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re practically guaranteed to find a hip hot spot (or five) serving up unique fare with a celebrity chef at the helm. As Nashville has risen to It

City status, our culinary landscape has risen right along with it. What do you want to eat? Chances are you can find it within a 10-minute drive (assuming you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heading there at rush hour, of course).

For this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s epicurean issue, we charted Nashvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food evolution and identified the five biggest dining trends in our city right now.

Turn to page 63 to see what they are.

And we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing culinary scene without mentioning the men of Strategic Hospitality, the brains behind The Catbird Seat, Pinewood Social and Patterson House. They make pretty handsome cover models, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you agree? Find out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for them on page 75.

hen chef Tony Galzin and his wife, Caroline, moved from Chicago to Nashville in 2012, one of their first priorities was to get connected to an urban farming program. They had volunteered with one in Chicago, helping to educate kids about sustainable food systems.

It didn’t take long for the couple to find Hands On Nashville and begin dedicating their time to the Urban Agriculture Program. So it only made sense that when Tony and Caroline teamed up with local restaurateur Christy Shuff to open a restaurant in town—West Nashville’s highly anticipated Fifty First Kitchen & Bar— they sought out Urban Agriculture Program manager Josh Corlew to design an on-site garden. The partnership, which Tony calls “a natural fit,” will be the first of its kind for Hands On Nashville. “It’s really exciting for us as an organization,” Josh says.

The 600-square-foot garden is being built on the double lot that Fifty First inhabits at the corner of 51st and Illinois in The Nations neighborhood.

The garden will grow a rotation of seasonal fruits, veggies and herbs that Tony hopes will fill much of the 50-seat

restaurant’s needs. Additionally, Fifty First will be sourcing local produce and meat from area farms for their menu of seasonal small plates rooted in rustic Italian techniques.

Over time, Josh hopes the garden will evolve into a teaching tool for Hands On Nashville. “Our experience with Fifty First is going to really help inform some of the ways that we are able to teach growing and production planning for these kids,” he says. He also envisions that the experience will educate students on the various ways that food and agriculture can translate into a career, whether as a farmer or a chef.

Josh hopes that the partnership will be the first of many. “It’s broadening our horizons on what the possibilities are for our involvement in the Nashville foodscape,” he says. And the possibilities for collaboration extend in both directions. Fifty First plans to launch an ongoing dinner series with guest chefs that will benefit Hands On Nashville and other local nonprofits.

This sounds like the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Fifty First Kitchen & Bar plans to open later this month. For more information, visit 51nashville.com.

deal of effort to corral everyone into the living room where Sarah’s impressive whistle quieted them down and prompted her husband to joke, “It’s good to be married to a woman who can wolf whistle.”

David’s sister, Robin Patton, board chair for the Nashville Zoo, thanked her brother and sister-in-law for opening their home before introducing Rick Schwartz to share about the exciting happenings at the zoo. In 2014, the Nashville Zoo welcomed 840,000 visitors (a far cry from the 72,000 that visited in the zoo’s first year in 1997).

This amazing growth is just one of the many reasons that construction is underway on a new entrance, which will include restrooms, a gift shop, first aid, security and two new lanes in and out of the zoo. The zoo has also broken ground on a barrier-free Andean bear exhibit, something Rick calls their “most sophisticated exhibit” to date. And let’s not forget the red panda cub that was born this year, the impending spider monkey exhibit, the planned 44-acre African experience and the worldwide conservation efforts led by Rick and his team. There is always a lot happening at the zoo!

Spotted among the animal lovers in the room were Schwartz Edie and David Johnson, Jennifer and Billy Frist, Amy and Overton Colton, Lisa Manning, Susan and Bill Joy, and Anne Davis.

Dee and Risso, Chihuahua mix sisters who recently arrived at the shelter, were also a part of the welcoming committee. Hosted at the home of Peggy and Randy Kinnard, the party was a casual gathering of Top Tails Society members and served as a thank you for their generous support and contributions to the NHA each year.

A fine selection of hors d’œuvres provided by Kristen Winston Catering included warm Parmesan and kale puffs with sweet hot mustard, beef tenderloin on crostini and ahi tuna tartare on wontons. Guests gathered in the sunroom and living areas, sipped on a signature cocktail known as The Southside and chatted about the turmoil of recent snow days—as well as Peggy’s extensive photo book collection. Displayed on numerous coffee tables were books on famous photographers, designers and travel destinations, as well as several appropriately themed dog photography books.

Among the many Top Tails donors in attendance were Robin and Richard Patton, David Richardson, Sally and Neely Coble, Tooty Bradford, Colleen Conway-Welch, Dorothy Earthman, Richard Horton and Teresa Miller.

Ringing in the New Year

A

Chinese New Year celebration was fully underway—albeit a week late due to the snow, but a thrilling surprise nonetheless— as guests walked into the home of Corinne and Brock Kidd.

The room was brought to life with the help of DJ Kyle Stephens, while others took a break from the fun and chatted with friends on the cozy white couches surrounding the dance floor. The appropriately titled Big Yellow Bang served as the evening’s specialty cocktail, an Old Hickory Whiskey sour, to wash down the delightful desserts of truffle cones and brownie bites.

And while the Big Yellow Bird himself did not make an appearance, there were many kids at heart partaking in the festivities including co-chairs Michelle Poss and Matia Powell, Beth Curley, Valerie and Chris Cantrell, Carlene Lebous and Peter Westerholm.

Chefs Matt Bolus, Hal Holden-Bache, Levon Wallace, Sam Tucker, Karl Worley and Vivek Surti served courses of beans and cornbread, biryani and raita, chopped salad and stuffed shells, chicken potpie and banana pudding. The menu evoked a sense of nostalgia from the crowd, who could be overheard sharing memories of their own favorite home-cooked meals across the community-style tables. Francis Ford Coppola Winery, a fitting addition, provided a variety of wines from their portfolio that the famous director dedicated to the women in his life. The evening was a true reflection of the tone set by three women wanting to celebrate the uniting theme of food and family—and wine!

Proceeds from the dinner benefited Nashville’s Conexión Américas and

Guests enjoyed light bites while mingling with the visitors from Napa, including NOTES co-founder Debi Cali.

The evening also included a silent auction of framed, handwritten lyrics of each writer’s biggest hits: Tony’s “The Dance,” Vivek Surti, Crystal De Luna-Bogan Pat’s “Unanswered Prayers,” Chris Tompkins’ “Dirt,” and Chris DeStefano’s “Just Gettin’ Started.”

WELCOME TO MY WORLD

B

ack in the 1960s, country music star Eddy Arnoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little slice of the world was a pristine, wooded tract adjacent to Radnor Lake. VocĂŞ, a one-of-a-kind residential neighborhood currently rising in those woods, respects the late singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to save the trees and preserves that natural

setting, with fully half of of the 61-acre community preserved as natural open space.

With a tree survey as a starting point, VocĂŞ brings the best minds in community planning and architecture together to create a uniquely sustainable, carefully conceived development that breaks the mold, offering creative country living well within the city limits.

hiskey distilling is a Tennessee tradition, and Nashville has come a long way from the days when Jack and George ran the show.

When Prichard’s Distillery opened in 1997, distilling was legal in only three counties. In 2009, Charles and Andy Nelson resurrected Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery, originally founded by their great-great-greatgrandfather, following new legislation that made distilling legal in 41 more counties. There are now 11 operating distilleries in Middle Tennessee with several more on the horizon, including H Clark Distillery, the first distillery to open in Williamson County in more than a century. And since whiskey is essentially distilled beer, brewing is just as natural to our Tennessee roots.

Brewing in Nashville dates back to the late 1800s to the William Gerst Brewing Company. Although they brewed their last batch in the 1950s, Yazoo resurrected the beer in 2011 with their replica of the original Gerst Amber. That spirit of collaboration lives on today in Nashville’s community of microbreweries and distilleries, and we, as lucky consumers, get to reap all of the tasty benefits.

This craft community is young but wise in the way they learn and grow together, often helping one another with equipment and brewing techniques, or partnering on special editions and supporting local nonprofits in the process. Twice in the past year, Jackalope and Black Abbey have partnered for a cause. Their Left Behind Pale Ale benefited the Tennessee Craft Brewers Guild, and proceeds from their Cloyster Stout— an oyster stout brewed with whole blue point oysters—were donated to prostate cancer research. Barrel-

aged beers have grown in popularity over the past several years, and local brands have jumped on the trend.

Belle Meade Bourbon barrels were used for Black Abbey’s Oatmeal Altbier as well as Blackstone’s Black Belle Imperial Stout. Little Harpeth Brewing created a Hot Scotchy for the Winter Warmer event made with unfermented wort and Belle Meade Bourbon, and Tennessee Brew Works re-released four of their regular beers aged in barrels from Prichard’s. Their Southern Wit beer is aged in the Double Chocolate Bourbon barrels, and the Walk the Lime spring seasonal is aged in the Fine Aged Rum barrels.

Bars and restaurants answer the demand to drink local by stocking the bar with Tennessee labels and finding unique ways to collaborate on their menus. Cool Springs Brewery partnered with Chauhan Ale & Masala House to create original brews infused with garam masala spices. (The saffron cardamom double IPA is one of the more popular

combinations.) Restaurants like The Sutler and Whiskey Kitchen use Yazoo beer batter to give their dishes some regional flavor, and The Catbird Seat uses Yazoo Hefeweizen yeast in their yeast and potatoes.

Even the subtle presence of liquor pairs well within the meal, like the Corsair malt whiskey pecans at Kitchen Notes or Lockeland Table’s bananas foster pudding with Prichard’s rum crème anglaise. Artisan confectioners are also incorporating area spirits into their sweets, as is the case with Bang Candy Company’s boozy caramels (using Belle Meade Bourbon and Corsair Red Absinthe), the Whisper Creek truffles from Tempur Chocolate Shoppe or Olive & Sinclair’s Bourbon Nib Brittle, which is made with cacao beans aged in Corsair barrels.

The demand to drink local has never been louder, and if these recent collaborations with Nashville microbreweries and distilleries are any indication, there appears to be plenty of business to go around.

Natural selection How Strategic Hospitality shaped Nashville’s culinary evolution

I

THE CATBIRD SEAT MERCHANTS PINEWOOD SOCIAL

Epicurean_10page_Final.indd 75

f you peruse the list of Strategic Hospitality’s dining establishments—Pinewood Social, The Patterson House, The Catbird Seat, Merchants, Aerial and Paradise Park—you’ll find that there’s truly something for everybody. But creating a diverse suite of options isn’t Strategic Hospitality’s key to success. Rather, it’s an unwavering dedication to creating the optimal experience for each and every customer, whether they’re indulging in a multicourse dinner at The Catbird Seat or ordering burgers and beers at Paradise Park.

Spearheaded by Nashville natives and brothers Benjamin and Max Goldberg, Strategic Hospitality’s growth mirrors that of its owners.

“If you follow the trajectory of what we’ve done, it’s where we are at that moment in life,” Benjamin says. “They start off as places where we’d want to go, and then we talk and see if we have the ability to hopefully create them.”

Just over a decade ago, Benjamin opened Bar 23 in the Gulch—long before it was a main artery of the city—with a friend from college, filling a void for an upscale lounge and thus attracting a youthful crowd. Bar 23’s popularity paved the way for City Hall, a large music venue next door, and, just blocks away, the instantly iconic Paradise Park on Lower Broad.

At this point, Benjamin saw the way his city was evolving and recognized a huge opportunity to participate on a larger scale. He knew his younger brother, Max, was the perfect business partner to do this with, but Max was living in New York at the time.

“The idea was that Max would come back, we’d partner together, form Strategic Hospitality together and then grow together,” Benjamin says.

Max adds, “Benjamin really saw this momentum, this tidal wave building in Nashville, and was a visionary.”

Together, the brothers built their staff and introduced a wide variety of dining experiences to a city on the cusp of it-ness. Among their projects: Aerial, the swanky rooftop event space capping Paradise Park; The Patterson House, a discreet bar focusing on the craft of the cocktail; The Catbird Seat, an adventurous and unparalleled culinary concept; and,

their latest success, Pinewood Social, an uncategorizable establishment offering everything from breakfast to dinner and bowling to swimming.

They also revived Merchants, both preserving and elevating the beloved downtown mainstay.

So, how did they do it? Bypassing conventional indicators like market research, the Goldbergs instead focus on creating concepts that they’d personally enjoy and then knocking it out of the park in their execution.

They also have a few secret weapons in their arsenal, including their culinary director, chef Josh Habiger, who Benjamin says is one of the most talented people in the world. Josh, initially brought in to plan and open The Patterson House (along with New York-based Alchemy Consulting), was also the brains behind The Catbird Seat and built the menu at Pinewood Social. For Benjamin, Max and Josh, the most important part of the business is the customer.

“Every single person who comes in the door, we’re appreciative of, thankful of, and so happy that they’re there,” Max says. “While we have them for that special time, we obsess over their experience.”

“That goes down to every single person that comes in,” Josh says. “The Catbird Seat specifically because we talk to every single person that comes in. If one person is bummed out, we feel like we failed. It’s such a personal thing here.”

Strategic Hospitality also provides consulting services, and—as you’ve likely heard—they have a few new endeavors on the horizon. Their casual

French offering, Le Sel, will open this summer in the Adelicia, inhabiting the former Tippler space. Le Sel will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, led by chef Rene De Leon, serving what Benjamin describes as “what’s happening now in French cooking,” including a centrally located raw bar.

They’re currently working with the Nashville Sounds on The Band Box, a restaurant in the right field area. While intended for stadium attendees, the space will also be open to non-ticketholders. Without spoiling any surprises before the stadium opens later this month, they told us to expect general stadium food with a twist. If you’ve dined in any of Strategic Hospitality’s restaurants, you can only imagine what they’ll do with burgers, hot dogs and frozen drinks.

If it sounds like having a restaurant in their hometown baseball stadium is fulfilling a childhood dream of sorts—apparently, there’s some sort of competition involving Benjamin attempting to hit a home run, so keep your ears open for that—it’s just another way that Strategic Hospitality is enriching the community they live in and love.

“Growing up here was one of the greatest experiences in the world,” Max says. “We’re so proud of the city. I think, right now, it’s the most exciting city in the world, and what’s so incredible for us—and, I think, any business in Nashville right now—is that people want to see Nashville do well.

They’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and support you. I think, as a result, Nashville is the most supportive city in the world.”

TAKING VOWS

ickson D h t e Elizab Megan marries Eskind n i e B David

D

r. David Eskind and Megan Dickson met at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center when he was doing his internal medicine residency and she was working on the same floor as a medical intensive care unit nurse. They married in September in the Wills Perennial Garden at Cheekwood.

The bride wore a taffeta gown with a lace bateau neckline designed by Augusta Jones, and the groom wore a custom tuxedo from Brooks Brothers. Jessica Slinger was maid of honor, and Kristian Beach was matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Sara Eskind, Casey Schoelen, Jennifer Stammer and Whitney Pica. Matthew Eskind served as best man, and groomsmen were Adam Dickson, Shaun McFall,

Neal Idnani and Arthur Kim. Arran Allan was the ring bearer.

Dinner and dancing followed in a tent on the lawn of Cheekwood Mansion. Something Special catered the seated dinner of fresh lobster salad, filet mignon and sea bass with seasonal vegetables.

Dulce Desserts designed the four-tiered wedding cake and the groom’s cake, which was emblazoned with a “V” in gold fondant. Later, while dancing to the music of The 12 South Band, guests enjoyed mini cheeseburgers with fries and chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches. Kelly Dellinger Events planned the party, and Mike Whitler of Branches designed all of the flowers.

The rehearsal dinner was held the night before

at aVenue in downtown Nashville. Guests enjoyed a typical Southern meal of fried chicken and short ribs, accompanied by live bluegrass music. The groom’s uncle, Steven Eskind, emceed the roasting of the bride and groom with particular emphasis on a lively session of “You’re so David if....”

After a wedding trip to Australia and New Zealand, the couple returned to Nashville where David is completing the final year of his residency and will begin his practice at the St. Thomas Medical Group in the fall. Megan is working at Nashville Skin and Cancer. David attended Montgomery Bell Academy, New York University and Vanderbilt University Medical School.

s chicken, in all its forms, nudges past pork at restaurants across town, pulled chicken might be the new barbecue. Better yet, you can make it easily at home. Smoky chicken pulls apart just as nicely as a pork shoulder and in less time. Dark meat thighs offer the most flavor, but use whatever you like.

Indoor barbecue starts with the slow cooker. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly designed to deliver steady heat that will gently break down muscle fiber, transforming it into soft, tender, juicy meat. And unlike traditional barbecue, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need your attention. Plug it in and go do something else. Your indoor barbecue is in good hands.

Next, your kitchen smoking system requires all-natural liquid smoke, found in a little brown bottle next to marinades and barbecue sauces in the supermarket. While long misunderstood by barbecue purists, liquid smoke is a very cool and widely used ingredient. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll really be surprised by how good it smells in the kitchen. You might think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had it, but you have. Liquid smoke is in all foods with â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural smoke flavorâ&#x20AC;? on the label. Use whatever brand you like.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all based on naturally condensed smoke particles made from smoldering wood without carcinogens and impurities. Yes, liquid smoke is healthier than your outdoor contraption.

All you need now is a little dry rub seasoning blend and a good homemade barbecue sauce. We use basic pantry staplesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powderâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for our dry rub. Just mix them up, and sprinkle it over the meat.

For the sauce, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going with a Nashville take on the famed mayonnaisebased Northern Alabama white sauce. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re employing the perfect accessory to pulled pork and Nashville hot chickenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the dill pickle chip (and some pickle juice). Its tangy edge balances the creaminess of the mayonnaise and distributes the pickle throughout the whole sandwich. Make the sauce as hot as you like.

>> Pulled Smoky Chicken BBQ with

Nash-Bama White Sauce

4 pounds chicken (skinless thighs, breasts or a combination; for more flavor, use bone-in) Âź cup all-natural liquid smoke For the dry rub seasoning: 2 teaspoons Kosher salt 2 teaspoons black pepper 2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the sauce: 1 cup mayonnaise ½ cup chopped dill pickle chips Ÿ cup dill pickle juice ½ teaspoon Kosher salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Place the chicken in a medium to large slow cooker. Pour the liquid smoke over the chicken. Mix the salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the chicken. Cover the slow cooker, and cook the chicken on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours. When fully cooked, the meat will easily pull apart when pierced with a fork. Remove the meat (and bones, if any) from the cooker and pull apart with two forks. Return the meat to the cooker with the juices, and turn the dial to low or warm and serve.

To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Serve the pulled chicken on warmed hamburger or hot dog buns cut in half for appetizer/party-size bites. Drizzle the sauce over the meat in the sandwiches.

Note: If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a slow cooker, combine the meat and seasonings in a covered Dutch oven or a pan tightly covered with foil and cook it in the oven at 300°F for 4 hours or until pull-apart tender. Serve as above.

While much of the city fought off cabin fever at home, Second Harvest—in conjunction with the Mayor’s Office, Office of Emergency Management, Metro Public Schools and other community partners—had been working overtime during the winter storms to ensure that the 400,000 children, adults and seniors struggling with hunger in Middle Tennessee didn’t go without.

Second Harvest works with 450 partner agencies to distribute food across a 46-county territory. That’s nearly half our state! However, with the recent winter activity, their services were needed far beyond their normal reach. Volunteers packed more than 5,000 emergency boxes with groceries that were distributed to 16 locations, in and outside their borders, resulting in an unanticipated—but necessary—cost of $75,000. This substantial and unexpected expense made our presence at the First Harvest Café all the more pertinent.

Under the direction of executive chef Mark Rubin, formerly of Belle Meade Brasserie, the First Harvest Café has been serving lunch to the community twice a week since the Martin Distribution Center opened in MetroCenter 10 years ago.

On Wednesdays, express lunches of soup, salad and sandwiches are served for $8, and on Fridays, all-you-can-enjoy buffets are $12, with proceeds feeding directly back into the Second Harvest mission.

Our Nfocus team assisted sous chef Tyler Smith to prepare the always-popular Santa Fe menu. Tyler, whose résumé includes gigs at Gaylord, Schermerhorn and Bridgestone Arena, is no stranger to cooking for the masses, but he feels most at home in Second Harvest’s learning kitchen. “I once read it’s the responsibility of every higher-level chef to teach those learning under you,” he says. “It’s about keeping the trade going and also serves what we do here in this learning kitchen.”

Warming tortillas, slicing flank steak and filling beverage pitchers, we worked alongside two dedicated volunteers employing their culinary skills to serve the mission. Barbara Fritch has volunteered at the café every Friday for the past six years and Nancy Vienneau, a 10-year volunteer veteran at the café, also partners with Tyler on the Cooks Rule! summer cooking camp for youth and teens hosted at the Culinary Arts Center.

The steady line of hungry patrons included a slew of regulars like Don Oats, First Harvest Café’s very first customer. He says dining at the café every week is both a filling and fulfilling way to support the many efforts at Second Harvest. “I can say I’ve

never been served a bad meal in 10 years,” Don says. “The food is good, great volunteers, excellent cooks on staff whom I believe are not just here to cook, but because they have a ministry. They are very conscientious in giving back to the community.”

A shocking one in six adults and one in four children struggle with hunger in Tennessee, a statistic Second Harvest hopes to alleviate through a combination of feeding programs that include the School Food Pantry Program, with 19 locations across three counties; the Backpack Program, which sends food home with 6,700 children each weekend; and Middle Tennessee’s Table which rescues, sorts and distributes food from nearly 200 local grocery stores and food donors. Second Harvest also provides weekly and monthly meals for at-risk youth and low-income seniors.

The Mobile Pantry Program, which delivers groceries to families in a farmers’ market type setting, distributed 5.9 million pounds of food last year.

At Second Harvest, their motto is no donation is too small whether it be one dollar, one can of food or one hour of your time. More than a third of Second Harvest’s food is donated through local grocers, manufacturers, farmers and food drives. Anyone can volunteer to host a food drive or give through the Virtual Food Drive feature on their website.

In addition to food donations, Second Harvest relies heavily on an army of volunteers. Last year, 31,000 volunteers contributed more than 78,000 volunteer hours. From sorting groceries to packing backpacks, there are volunteer opportunities available to everyone ages 6 and up.

The organization’s greatest need, however, is financial assistance, particularly after such a brutal winter. A single dollar provides four meals, and 95.7 percent of every dollar donated goes directly into the programs. Funding is raised through direct contributions, as well as annual events like Generous Helpings (May 14 at City Winery) and Stars for Second Harvest (June 9 at the Ryman). Thanks to generous donors, Second Harvest served more than 23 million meals to children, families and seniors in need during their last fiscal year alone!

As we bundled up to head back out in the snow, carrying the weight of what these snow days meant for so many Tennesseans, Second Harvest communications manager Elizabeth Bradbury described what drives this dedicated staff and community of volunteers through even the toughest of times. “I learned that although times here can be stressful, it’s a much different kind of stress,” she says.

“Even when you have a bad day, you’re still helping people.” To learn more about how you can fight hunger in Middle Tennessee, visit secondharvestmidtn.org.

Throws like a girl A new conversation on an old stereotype

O

ur girls are being picked on. Victimized. I got wind of this in a commercial for a women’s hygiene product that aired during the Super Bowl.

Not one of your typical sources, but you do what you have to do when kids’ lives are at stake.

Anyway, come to find out the phrase “throws like a girl” is not a valid description of a clumsy throwing motion but rather a sexist epithet.

Same goes for “runs like a girl” and “fights like a girl.” The goal of the ad campaign is to change the connotation of “like a girl” from negative to positive. Why? The stereotype is harmful to young girls.

The one-minute commercial paraded five little girls, three women, one boy and one man in front of the camera as the director, a woman, cooed: “Show me what it looks like to run like a girl.” “Show me what it looks like to fight like a girl.” “Show me what it looks like to throw like a girl.”

All four adults and the boy demonstrated, and perhaps reinforced, “like a girl” stereotypes for each activity—flailing arms, hissy fits and Kevin Spacey in House of Cards, respectively. (We’ll get back to Kevin in a moment.) Meanwhile, when asked to run, fight and throw “like a girl,” the five little girls in the commercial, ages 7 to 13 I’m guessing, just, well, ran, fought and threw without affectation.

The implication was that the little girls were too young to have been tainted by the stereotypes. There was no conjecture on how they might have avoided that in today’s media saturated world.

The villain of the piece? The 12-year-old boy, of course. After he completed his “throw like a girl” impression, a super appeared on screen. “When did doing something like a girl become an insult?” This was followed by the following exchange.

Director: “So do you think you just insulted your sister?”

Boy: “No, I mean, yeah, insulted girls, but not my sister.”

The boy insulted girls in general because, in his experience, they can’t throw, but not his sister because she can. “Throws like a girl” is not an epithet, it’s a description of an actual physical act, a way of throwing that is all but universally understood, in this culture at least.

Halfway through season two of the Netflix series House of Cards, Kevin Spacey’s slimy politician character was asked to throw out the first pitch at a major league game. It was then that a new generation was schooled on why “throwing like a girl” is an insult. Has there ever been an uglier pitch?

Folks got riled up and critic James Fallows of The Atlantic did some digging. Seems Spacey had thrown out the first pitch in a real-life Orioles game the year before. “Perfect,” the newspaper called it. So Spacey’s “throw-like-a-girl” pitch in the Netflix series was an act. My point: there is such a thing as “throwing like a girl,” and, if you care, Fallows even provides instructions on just how to do it.

First off, and you can chisel this in stone, “We’re all born throwing like a girl.” Second, as Fallows explains, “throwing is a motion nearly anyone can do, but that no one starts out knowing how to do....For whatever reason, the typical 12-year-old boy has spent more of his life throwing balls, stones and sticks than the typical 12-year-old girl. Thus, more boys than girls learn how to throw, and more girls than boys throw the way you do if you don’t know how.”

Throwing. It’s apparently something boys do right. And if girls don’t want people to accuse them of throwing like a girl, they should put in the time. The boys did. I think the actual girls out there already know this and I’m guessing the girls who care whether or not they throw like a girl, don’t. Throw like a girl, I mean.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure a moveable feast worthy of Julia Child has ever been prepared on a pirate shipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on the high seas or in fictionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but author Eli Brown enchanted and tempted me from the moment we set sail in his rollicking novel, Cinnamon and Gunpowder! It is 1819, and the beautiful pirate Mad Hannah Mabbott has grand plans involving revenge, love and treasure. After slaughtering the evil Lord Ramsey at his own dinner table, she kidnaps his chef, Owen Wedgwood, and brings him to sea as her personal cook. Each Sunday, working cleverly with a limited supply of ingredients, he must prepare a meal beyond her wildest dreams or else die. Chef Wedgwood manages to astonish herâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and me!

On his preparation of a cod dish: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between the opaque striations, wisps of fat clung to the crisp potato breading and resolved upon the tongue like the echo of a choir surrendering to silence. The saffron warmed all together as sunlight through stained glass blesses a congregation, while the shrimp sauce waved its harlotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kerchief from the periphery.â&#x20AC;? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hardly be surprised if Mad Hannah fell in love with him.

This novel interweaves the history of the British opium trade with China in addition to everything else.

Who in the world imagines such a book, not to mention writes it?

Apparently an experimental urban farmer in Alameda, Calif. Eli Brown, I applaud you!

Closer to home, brilliant mother-daughter team Alice Randall and Caroline Randall Williams have

recently brought us another delicious offering, Soul Food Love: Healthy Recipes Inspired by One Hundred Years of Cooking in a Black Family. You might have heard about this book as Alice and Caroline have been making national news on shows like Dr. Oz. Alice, you may know, is an author, songwriter and professor at Vanderbilt. I picked up Soul Food Love because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a friend of Aliceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be a friend to fall in love with the simple, healthy dishes in this cookbook. The Sweet Potato, Kale, and Black-Eyed Pea Soup, the Savory Avocado Salad and the St-Germain cocktail Dearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sweet Forgiveness are personal favorites. For a cook who tries to keep things simple and healthyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and often failsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this is a welcome addition to my arsenal.

Soul Food Love is, equally, a beautiful and powerful family history and what Alice calls, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a series of love letters to generations before and after us.â&#x20AC;?

Alice and Caroline think a lot about their grandmothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; relationship to the kitchen over the generations, and this book is in many ways a call to arms to embrace a healthier relationship with food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will spend the rest of our lives putting fruits and vegetables onto our plates, and inviting fruits and vegetables onto the plates of others. As well as some lean meat.

And some whole grains. Ancient and modern,â&#x20AC;? write Caroline and Alice.

This book is a generous invitation to join them. Alice may also be inviting us to join her for a movie before too long, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll happily accept: sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optioned the movie rights to Cinnamon and Gunpowder.

rthur awakened me at 6 a.m. I let Spouse sleep, and I walked Dog through town. I remembered many houses, some in better, some in worse shape than the last time I’d seen them more than a decade ago. The café on Main Street wasn’t yet open, but lights burned in the kitchen. Most of the shops differed from those I recalled, although the bookstore—a rare independent—occupied the same storefront. The street retained the angled, head-in parking of American small towns that have largely disappeared.

It was Sunday morning, and I was back in Starkville, Mississippi. We’d returned to attend a memorial service for Price Caldwell. The last time we’d seen Price had been in 2001 at Eudora Welty’s funeral. Now it was his turn to be finalized.

My husband and I lived in Starkville from 1975 to 1977. He was newly sprung from graduate school, teaching at Mississippi State University while turning his dissertation on Welty into a book. I worked on ana master’s in English and introduced freshmen to literature.

And we became good friends with Price and his wife, Alice Carol. We read and discussed the stories and poems Price wrote, analyzed great and not-so-great books and gossiped about English department politics.

AC and I went antiquing. Price and Spouse, pretending to be William Christenberry, photographed decaying houses and barns, abandoned cars and trees twisted by storms. Together we cooked, dined and laughed—a lot.

This closeness continued after we moved to New Orleans and then

Nashville through the 1980s and ’90s.

We went to each other’s houses for parties, shared a place one summer in Boston. I journeyed up and down the Natchez Trace to help AC design their home renovation.

In the 21st century, we became more distant. Price spent much of each year teaching in Japan. AC negotiated life in Tokyo. They bought a vacation home in Thailand. We exchanged news in Christmas letters written for a general audience.

At the reception after the service, I stood in the Caldwell home, and for a few moments, distance melted away. The house itself incarnates the sense of time not lost but preserved: a plain, white structure of the early 20th century South, with big rooms, high ceilings, wide plank floors, broad central hall, beadboard kitchen and a generous porch whose hammock and swing are actually used.

I found a lot of myself within the walls: grasscloth and paint colors, furniture and art, lamps and pottery. I’d had a hand in their purchase or placement—and knew the stories behind each piece.

My feeling of present tense was of course an illusion. There were objets I’d had no role in acquiring or arranging. The gray hair of many of the guests made them look as if a frost had fallen. Price’s study still had walls of books but also contained an empty hospital bed.

I remembered the hard wisdom Welty imparted, at the end of The Golden Apples, describing the matterof-fact departure of mourners after a funeral: “This was the past now.”

Collecting eggs 1941

C

hickens in the backyard—a Nashville tradition old and new! Since its inception in 1849, the Tennessee Historical Society has worked to promote the interests and preserve the history of the Volunteer State, an effort that encompasses our agricultural background. This photo of a young girl collecting eggs encapsulates Tennessee’s treasured history of farm life, which continues today with our city’s modern farm-to-table concepts. The year after this photo was taken, the THS established their premiere publication, the Tennessee Historical Quarterly. In a 1960 issue, Harriet Arnow described the Cumberland Valley pioneers’ crops of wheat, oats, barley, beans, potatoes, apples, peaches, pork and corn, with much of that corn being turned into whiskey. Fortunately, that is a tradition that also stood the test of time!
