WAKE UP EARLY, WATCH SOCCER,

Get to know the lowcountry’s local farmers and food producers through this series of Q & A sessions with the vendors of Savannah’s Forsyth Farmers’ Market.

Meet September’s featured Forsyth Farmers’ Market Vendor of the month!

NAME: Chandler Case (Marketing & Sales) VENDOR NAME: Verdant Kitchen LOCATION: We have a farm and facility at Lebanon Plantation off of Ogeechee Road in Savannah and we also do some processing at PrepAtl in Atlanta, GA. MAIN PRODUCTS: Everything gingerginger snaps, ginger ales, cocktail syrups, etc. from local organic ginger family crops.

YRS IN BUSINESS: The farm has been active for the past three years, but we are just coming up on our 1 year anniversary for the value added goods.

ONLINE: www.verdantkitchen.com You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter FACILITY DESCRIPTION: Lebanon Plantation is a 1000 acre plantation that is privately owned by the family of one of the company co-founders.

It was once a land grant to the French Huguenots, so it is rich in agricultural history. We have a certified organic processing facility on the farm that is actually a refurbished quail house. The entire property is absolutely breathtaking.

Does your business name mean anything special? Verdant means lush and green, so our name Verdant Kitchen, represents our farm to kitchen business model as well as our values of organic growing and sustainability.

Most Popular product: The Ginger Syrup. It is prized for its versatility as: a simple syrup for cocktails, a salad dressing, sweetener, or marinade. It’s something that makes a great gift, but can easily become a pantry stable because it just takes everything to the next level.

Most Overlooked product (but shouldn’t be): Savannah White Hot Honey- it’s such a premium product. Now, I know that there are a TON of other local options for honey, but we’ve really got something that stands out in taste. Plus, the bottle is so cute!

What is your favorite Verdant Kitchen product? Oh, the Savannah Snaps, easily.

You have to understand that I’m around these products 24/7 and the snaps are the one thing I have no willpower with. They are addictive on their own, but I’ve recently taken to smearing mango sorbet between two snaps for a devilish little ice cream sandwich.

Where do your ingredients come from?

Are they organic or local? Obviously, our

ginger, galangal, and turmeric are sourced locally from our farm. We also use some Australian ginger. We strive to use mostly USDA organic ingredients.

What is special or unique about Verdant Kitchen products? We take a single ingredient

and stretch it across a whole range of products.

We’ve really flipped the food business model (of say selling jam or cookies and doing a whole lot of different flavors of one product type) on its head. Instead, we do ginger, and make as many different types of products as we can from it.

Plus, the whole story of our farm is really truly unique. How many American ginger farms have you heard of?

Tell us a little bit about the process of growing ginger: It needs to be able to

have a nine month growing period, meaning it needs to stay warm in the winter, but really hot temperatures (like we’ve been experiencing in Savannah) CAN stress it in the summer. Because it is a subtropical plant, it also likes constant rain, so we imitate that with drip irrigation.

Any health benefits specific to your products or methods? We don’t make

health claims on our products, but the ginger root is believed to be wonderful for you! It is great as an anti-nausea aid and is a perfect for pregnant women, chemo patients, and travelers suffering from motion sickness. It is also a great antiinflammatory! We’ve had a lot of feedback from our customers that our products have soothed them and that make us very happy.

Give Verdant Kitchen’s variety of ginger infused products a go at the Forsyth Farmers’ Market, this Saturday or any Saturday, from 9am to 1pm at the South end of Forsyth Park!

Besides the FFM, where can customers find your products? Most of our products are available

on our website. Verdant Kitchen products are also sold commercialy all throughout the city- Byrd Cookie Company, Green Truck Pub, The Salt Table, Paula Deen’s Retail Store, the airport, etc. So keep an eye out for us!

What have you learned from your time participating in the Farmers’ Market? The

food industry is really changing- and it’s high time. We (lovingly) say that the farmers’ market crowd is one of the most demanding we’ve ever seen. It’s great to see that people are becoming much more aware of what they are feeding their bodies, where food comes from, and the like.

Behind the scenes of a

restaurant inspection score

by David Gignilliat

A half-dozen chefs in white coats hunch over long metal tables. It looks like they could be having a quick meeting or working on some secret handshake. Maybe a little of both. A few minutes later, the crew disperses and a pair head over to the smallest workspace and begin to cut and peel potatoes. The others start to whittle away at large chunks of halibut and grouper, prepping for the evening’s service. A local delivery man arrives and maneuvers his dolly through the tight kitchen maze, dropping off a cargo of eggplant, sprouts and squash near the walk-in cooler..

Out front, a server inspects tables. Another sweeps.

Another jots down her evening’s section. The host checks the reservation book, and makes a few corrections. Across the room, a bartender stocks bottled beer and checks the kegs. The phone rings. A busser walks over to a corner table and adds a few chairs and place settings. The party just called back to confirm their reservation, and they’re now expecting eight.

A figure appears at the front door, obscured by the late-afternoon shadows like an Old West outlaw as he steps into the saloon. He holsters a clipboard at his side, walks a few steps into the light, and announces himself. “ I’m with the Health Department.

I’m here for your inspection.”

The words reverberate like a struck bell, and there’s an immediate sense of the visitor’s presence.

The pace quickens a few gears, and an imaginary warning begins its countdown. The shift leaders pinball around the kitchen, checking off items on an imaginary mental checklist. “Check the temperature on that sauce. Do all the drinks back here have lids on them? Change your apron. Are the dish rags are in the sanitizer bucket? Who’s food is this? Throw that away.”

The hostess parries the unexpected visitor with polite aplomb. “Let me get the manager for you. Can I get you something to drink while you’re waiting? Actually, she may be in a meeting right now, should be here any moment though, I’ll let her know you’re here.”

While this scene may not play out the same in every restaurant, it certainly sets the stage for a process that is carried out in every food service establishment in Chatham County and across the country. The health inspection and its resulting score, is a process that starts well beyond where the food meets the fork; where regulators and inspectors, restaurants and consumers, all play a role in the well-being of our public health.

“Ultimately, the inspection is just a snapshot of what’s going on, in that window when the inspector’s there,” says Todd Jones, the Chatham County Health Department’s environmental health director, a position he’s held since 2009. “We’re encouraged to go during production. We want to see the facility operating, … that’s when we need to be able to observe the risks.”

Like other county managers across the country, Jones has a lot on his plate with limited resources to get it done. Overseeing a staff of roughly a dozen fulltime field inspectors and a small administrative staff, Jones’ public health responsibilities cut a wide swath, and include food safety, hotel/motel inspections, well and sewage testing, just to name a few. But it’s often the health inspection process for bars and restaurants that gets the most attention. With over 2400 facilities in Chatham County, including 1300plus restaurants, it is truly a sprawling responsibility.

-Continued on Next Page

Snapshot: 2014 Inspection Scores As of this printing, according to the Georgia Dept. of Public Health website, in 2014, for establishments in Chatham County under the category of ‘food’, the following scores were received throughout the year:

260 669 117 3

Scores of 90-100 Scores of 80-89 Scores of 70-79 Scores of 0-69

(A) (B) (C) (U)

All 3 establishments that had received a ‘U’, have since improved their scores to a 100, 99, and 88, respectively.

Well FED did some further research and we were thrilled to find that virtually all of the establishments advertised in this issue and that we regularly promote, have been consistently making “ straight A’s ”, including:

• Abe’s on Lincoln • Alligator Soul • Ampersand • Andaz (22 Square) • Cha Bella • Circa 1875 • Coffee Fox • Driftaway Cafe • Flip Flop Tiki Bar & Grill • Foxy Loxy • Green Truck • La Xalapena • Leoci’s WELLF EDSAVA NNA H. C OM | FEED 17

Making the Grade The inspection scores for a local restaurant actually begins its journey roughly 600 miles north, just outside of Washington, DC, at the headquarters of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While the FDA Food Code provides guidelines for food safety and preparation, these guidelines are not directly enforced by the FDA, meaning cities, counties and states must come up with their own.

Lacking a national standard, some cities rely on scores (San Francisco) or grades (New York), while others rely on both a score and a letter grade, as they do in Savannah.

In Chatham County, the inspection sheet that determines these scores and grades is divided into two distinct sections, the top half covering foodborne illness risk factors and public health interventions. This is the ‘meat’ of a restaurant inspection, with its nine categories contributing to over 80 % of a facility’s overall score. Highly trained inspectors look for risk factors that are based on The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) top factors for foodborne illness, including personal hygiene, sourcing, contamination, food holding, cooking and reheating. Violations in this section can often contribute to pathogen growth, and are therefore more severe, resulting in four- and nine-point deductions.

“We’re looking at a risk reduction formula in terms of getting someone sick,” says Jones.

At the bottom half of the inspection sheet, there are what are known as Good Retail Practices or GRPs, which focus on preventative measures to reduce the introduction of pathogens, chemicals and objects into food.

Only 18 of the 100 possible points are contained in this half of the inspection, spread among nine main sections and 29 subcategories. Though important, Jones acknowledges that more attention is given the top half of the sheet.

“In Chatham County, there’s probably going to be limited violations on the bottom, just because of what our focus is,” says Jones, “I don’t want to nitpick. That’s not why we’re here. Broken ceiling tiles are not going to get someone sick from a [retail practices] standpoint.”

The job of an inspector can be difficult. Like a referee in a football game, every foul and infraction is open to criticism and interpretation.

The worst score a restaurant can receive is a U, or ‘unsatisfactory’ grade, which scores from 0-69.

Last year, only one location scored a U, but Cs (7079) and Bs (80-89) are certainly more common. A facility would have to exhibit several simultaneous violations to be in this range.

With an emphasis on education and prevention, Jones gives at-risk facilities opportunity to get back in compliance. Jones has successfully instituted an informal hearing process between the Health Department and restaurant management and ownership, a solution-oriented model that has now been adopted by several health districts statewide.

Though the meeting is not required by code, it helps avoid a second straight U grade, which can result in a restaurant being asked to close.

“We allow the facility to come in and state their piece. It’s an education piece for them, because they might not know what their employees are doing, if it’s a shift manager versus a GM, or an owner-operator versus a GM, they may not actually know what’s going on. So we utilize that time, number one, to find out what they think is the root of the problem, and then we discuss the violations with them and what we saw, and how do we mitigate that.”

Closing down a restaurant is a remedy of last resort, as it can cause a facility financial hardship and often permanently scar a restaurant’s reputation among its customer base.

“One bad score may hurt someone’s business, and that’s why we’re very cognizant of the repercussions of that,” said Jones. “We don’t want to close anyone down. It doesn’t do any good for a public health department - it doesn’t do any good for a facility.”

With all inspections now available online, a restaurant’s negative score can quickly become the fodder of local newspapers, television and Yelp reviewers. “We’re only in there for that snapshot once every quarter. There are 89 other days during that quarter where something could be different.” said Jones. “Everybody has a bad day.” To combat the short-term sting that might accompany a poor score, with support from the Georgia Restaurant Association, The Chatham County Health Department has added more frequent inspections than the code actually requires.

Food For Thought As the ultimate end-user of a restaurant’s product, food or drink, a motivated customer can provide an extra line measure of safety for themselves and the public. While dining in person, they can keep an eye out for potential safety violations. If a customer has concerns, they can ask to speak with an owner or a manager. And while looking just at the score on the wall can be useful, really digging into an inspection’s details can be even more helpful.

“I would take a numeric or letter grade at face value, as a snapshot of when we were in there.

But I would encourage [consumers] to dig a little deeper too,” says Jones, who is a former president of the Georgia Public Health Association. “What were the violations? Were they corrected? If they’re in a facility dining, and they observe [a ‘C’ grade],, they could [ask to] take a look at the narrative. If a consumer wants to eat there, and they happen to see the low score, they can find out a little more.”

Overall, the goal of any public health system is that which the public will hardly ever notice, reflected in some obscure acknowledgment, like a plaque on a wall in someone’s office. It is when nothing happens that a health director, such as Jones, is doing is job well. It is when education, prevention and effective risk management are proactive and producing positive outcomes. Overall, Jones says inspection scores have improved countywide year after year, a fact which he attributes to education and ‘buy-in’ from the restaurant management, owners and staff.

“Ultimately, my data system is open to the public. It is public record,” Jones says. “And I’m proud of what we’re doing here.”

If You Get Sick It’s not always the last thing you ate.

In fact, if you’ve eaten contaminated food, it’s rare that you’d know right away. If you get sick, and symptoms persist, go see a doctor, who may request a stool sample and/or culture. And keep a ‘food’ diary of all your meals for the last 48 hours. Many foodborne illnesses have an incubation time, ranging from hours to days, and are often indicative of different pathogens.

Here are some broad examples of incubation times for different pathogens: 0-2 hours, intoxication or chemical 2-4 hours, staph infection 12-24 hours, Salmonella or E coli 24-48, Norovirus, ‘Cruise Ship’ virus *If you think you have been subject to a serious case of food poisoning, contact your doctor or other health professional right away.

The sccpss health & nutrition monthly scoop

Chatham Farm to School Program: Growing it on the Edge in 2014

by Rhonda Barlow, MPH, RD, LD, CLC Nutrition Coordinator

P

laying in the dirt as a child was one of my favorite things to do outside at home and at school during recess. Playing in the dirt at school during class time would have been even better and I think many kids would agree. In the cross-curriculum classroom, soil can being used as a tool to effectively teach math, social studies, science, and reading and that’s just how some Chatham County educators are using it.

The Chatham Public School Farm to School Program is in its fourth year of growing local school gardens, teaching nutrition and agriculture across the curriculum and feeding students fresh Georgia grown and produced products. Thanks to a grant awarded to one of our community partners, the West Broad YMCA, by Gulfstream late last year, the Chatham Farm to School Program is progressing to the next level by changing the way our students relate to their food.

Being a member of the Growing Edge Community Collaboration (GECC) allows us to tap into resources we would not otherwise have access to. We are excited about the implementation of the grant this school year which will include planned fun and

educational events and activities for teachers, students and parents. A taste of the upcoming events include the School Garden 101 learning series, Learning Lab Encounters for the students, and Good and Basic Eats parent nutrition education learning series. Field trips to observe nature in action can and will provide an exciting practical experience for the students and will allow the teachers to teach gardening across the curriculum even if their school does not have a school garden on campus.

For more information about the GECC and its upcoming events, keep an eye on the Chatham School Nutrition Department’s website at www.sccpss.com and the West Broad YMCA website at www.westbroadstreetymca.org throughout the school year. wellf edsava nna h. c om | feed 21

Manage Str ess Natur ally with Food and Herbs Written by Nicole Ware, LAc, Actupuncturist & Herbalist of Heal Acupuncture In the Far East, the highest level of medicine was that which prevented illnesses. Doctors were hired by the well-to-do to keep all their family members healthy.

Physicians were considered a failure and in some cases, not compensated, if a patient got sick. As one can imagine, prevention became very important! The concept of using food as preventative medicine became paramount in many ancient cultures and that still holds true today.

In today’s stressful, modern, fast paced life with financial, family and work responsibilities, stress can mount rapidly.

I have found that if people are solid and balanced in three distinct areas of their life, that like a three-legged stool, they can manage a significant amount of stress comfortably.

However, if one of the following areas is not sound, stress can quickly overwhelm their health.

“

The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.

“

Sufficient sleep, a balanced diet, and exercise all keep the mind healthy during times of high stress. If one leg goes, life can get much more difficult. By getting adequate sleep, digesting your food and moving your body, one can happily continue to function at a high level. The following are suggestions one can do at home to help find balance.

Calcium and magnesium rich foods calm the nervous system and encourage sleep. In Asia, they are thought to anchor the spirit and allow deep calming sleep. Oyster shells were used to make broths because they are rich in both minerals. Yogurt, sardines, kale, nuts, and avocados also are rich in these minerals. This is why grandmother might have suggested a glass of milk before bed time – just leave out the chocolate chip cookies. The sugar will enflame and irritate the body. If you avoid dairy, a cup of Chamomile tea is a great alternative.

Refraining from all caffeine including sodas, chocolate and ice tea before lunch time rolls around will also help your body to be ready for a good night’s rest.

Foods that help calm the mind include omega-3 rich foods which feed the brain; such as salmon, walnuts, flax seeds, krill oil, and chia seeds.

Omega-3s and vitamin-B complex are especially wonderful for people who tend towards depression.

Vitamin B rich foods include leafy greens, almonds, wheat germ, turkey, shellfish, mushrooms, and egg yolks. If you are taking vitamin B supplements, remember that vitamin Bs can increase your energy, so they are best taken in the morning.

Other ancient practices such as yoga, acupuncture and meditation have also been cultivated for thousands of years to settle the mind and strengthen the body. Adaptogenic herbs such as astragalus root and ginseng bring the body back to balance, strengthen the mind and increase energy levels.

Make sure to take these in the morning so you can sleep well at night! Passionflower tea, valerian root and lemon balm are very calming as teas. A certified herbalist can also work with you to customize herbal formulas for your particular constitution and specific needs.

SOME FOODS & HERBS THAT PROMOTE STRESS RELIEF

When we are under pressure, the body releases stress hormones that prepare our bodies to run away from danger. Hormones such as cortisol flood your system and prepare us to either fight or flee. Have you had an experience such as a near miss in your car where you feel a surge of adrenalin, tingling and a jolt of electricity? That’s your stress hormones at work!

In modern times we can have these surges throughout the day, like when we are running late for an appointment. Unlike ancient man, we can’t physically run away and burn off these stress hormones. Daily exercise is essential in allowing us to clear the fight and flight hormones from our bodies so we are not stewing in them.

the benefits of

raw goat’s

milk FOR YOUR PET

R

eferred to as “the world’s most complete food known” by the Journal of American Medical Association, raw goat’s milk is becoming more prominent in pet owner’s dietary regimen for their pets. The use of goat’s milk for consumption among humans and their pets is not a new concept, however. The utilization of milk in its natural state to cure diseases dates as far back as 2,000 BC.

by Ben Giddens, Marketing Director of TailsSpin

When Louis Pasteur’s study of sterilization found its way into the “milk world” in the late 1800’s, much of the milk’s natural microbes were killed off by the process eponymously named “pasteurization.” The pasteurization process destroys vitamin C (which improves immune functions by enhancing white blood cell activity), B6 (makes proteins, hormones, and neurotransmitters), and B12 (promotes growth in red and white blood cells), as well as enzymes and beneficial bacteria. This process also denatures proteins found in milk, and promotes pathogens. In other words, pasteurization takes away elements of milk that are valuable to human and animal growth and health, while advancing the development of biological agents that can cause diseases. Feeding your pet raw goat’s milk can help keep the missing vitamins that pasteurization kills off.

“Why raw goat’s milk instead of cow’s milk,” you may ask. Goat’s milk has been considered to be a “universal food” as it benefits adult humans, infants, cats, and dogs. Cow’s milk has a larger molecular size than goat’s milk, meaning that goat’s milk is easier to digest and does not require homogenization.

-Continued on Next Page WELLF EDSAVA NNA H. C OM | FEED 29

“...what other food have you seen referred to as “the most complete food ever known.”

The 20 minutes it takes to digest milk from a goat is much quicker than the 3 hours needed to digest milk from a cow. Goat’s milk also contains 25% more vitamin B6, 13% more calcium, 47% more vitamin A, 27% more of the antioxidant selenium, 134% more potassium, and an outstanding 300% more niacin (B3) than cow’s milk.

Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, and colitis have all been known to be subsided with the help of raw goat’s milk. Raw goat’s milk is known as a natural probiotic, as it carries over 200 probiotic species. It also carries enzymes and prebiotics which help the nutrients in probiotics flourish, causing ease of digestion. The same enzymes that promote the relief of digestion can also assist in alleviating arthritis symptoms by improving circulation, speeding up tissue repair, and reducing swelling.

If your pet is underweight or suffers from malnutrition, the easily absorbable protein in raw goat’s milk can help him/her gain a little extra weight. The palatability of goat’s milk also makes it a great food enhancer for finicky eaters. Owners of kittens and puppies have also been known to use raw goat’s milk to help with their growth.

High levels of caprylic acid are also found in the natural state of goat’s milk. This acid helps fight yeast that builds up in response to allergies. Such yeast naturally forms in dogs’ paws and is enhanced when allergies form. This causes dogs to chew at their paws when allergies are present. Goat’s milk also produces flora (made by the healthy mixture of previously mentioned probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes) to develop on the ears and skin which can help subside infections caused by allergies.

Lastly, raw goat’s milk contains CLA (conjugated linoleic acid, or “the cancer fighting fat”) which has been shown to shrink tumors. Other fats found in the milk contain a higher evolved carotene (ProVitamin A) that has cancer preventing properties.

With nearly 6 million dogs and 6 million cats being diagnosed with new cases of cancer each year, pet owners should take steps to help prevent cancer in their furry family members.

With concern for our pets’ nutrition and desire for knowledge on the rise, the pet owners community is constantly searching for the best foods to give their animals optimal health. So of course, there are many foods and supplements one is able to give their pets to help promote healthy living. Raw goat’s milk is at the top of that list, in my opinion.

After all, it what other food have you seen referred to as “the most complete food ever known.”

Whole roasted

chicken with

salmoriglio

Brought to you by Executive Chef Kyle Jacovino of The Florence

At the Florence, we work hard to offer a soulful approach to modern Italian cuisine backed by southern culture and a conscience effort to reconnect with the origins of our food. With this recipe in particular I wanted to showcase the simplicity of Italian cooking and give it a southern twist of course. Sometimes a recipe may seem so simple but with a focus on quality ingredients, the simplicity of the dish is outweighed by phenomenal flavor. One of my favorite ways to do this is to roast whole animals. Chicken, pig, lamb, rabbit… you name it. From the brining process, to roasting it over a fire in a cast iron skillet and finishing it off with a beautiful but simple herb sauce, this is a perfect recipe for a family style dinner.

For my meat, I chose to feature pasture raised chicken from Grass Roots Farm in Tattnall County. Brandon Chonko, the man behind the poultry, shares the same passion in raising his chickens that I do about cooking. He makes sure his birds live a truly stress free life and maintain a superb diet which gives the meat an amazing flavor.

As a chef in the food industry today I feel it’s part of my job to help our patrons be aware of the differences of where their food comes from as well as to provide them with an amazing meal. I look forward to being a part of the Savannah community and working closely with our area’s many extraordinary farmers and food producers for years to come.

The Florence is located at 1 West Victory Street in midtown Savannah. Once an old ice factory, the space now boasts a coffee/pastry shop, a first floor dining space and upstairs bar with its own tapas style menu. Menus change often though so be sure to eat there more than once! They are open for dinner 6 days a week from 5pm - 10pm and until 11pm on weekends.

THIS RECIPE SERVES 4

step 1. Brine it INGREDIENTS 2 qts of water 1 cup salt ¼ cup sugar 1 tsp. fennel seed 1 tsp. coriander seed 1 tsp. black peppercorn

PREPARATION Combine all of your ingredients in small saucepot and bring to a boil. Let the brine come to room temperature, pour it over your chicken and let sit in the fridge overnight.

Step 2. roast it INGREDIENTS 2-3 lb. whole chicken 1 each - lemon zested and lemon sliced 1 each - orange zested and orange sliced 2 rosemary sprigs 2 thyme sprigs 3 garlic whole garlic cloves ¼ lb. butter sliced into thin cubes 2 ½ T salt 1 T cracked pepper

PREPARATION Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry. Then rub it with the salt, pepper and the zest of the orange and lemon.

Next take half of the thinly sliced cubes butter and place it under the skin of the bird directly on top of the breasts. Take your remaining ingredients (sliced citrus, garlic, rosemary, thyme remaining butter) and stuff it into the cavity of the chicken.

Place your chicken on a roasting rack and bake at 350 degrees for about 1 to ½ hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160. Your chicken will then carry over to 165 during a 15-minute resting period.

Dress the chicken with the Salmoriglio sauce and serve with family style vegetables.

Step 3. sauce it INGREDIENTS 2 cups chopped parsley 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 T salt 1 lemon zested and juiced Pinch of red pepper flakes 1 clove garlic- chopped

PREPARATION Combine all of your ingredients and a small mixing bowl and whisk together for about 30 seconds just to infuse the flavors and reserve.

Will hold for one day.

Step 4. serve it Be sure to let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes so all of the juices will stay inside. When removing the meat from the chicken I like to start right on top of the breasts. You will actually be able to ride your knife along the breast plate and repeat on both sides. For the legs you can simply just pull them off easily with your hand.

For the wings simply just pull them easily away from the joints.

CHEWIN’ THE FAT with

roberto leoci Story by Coco Papy

S

avannahians love their local coastal

food- we’ve been eating it since we washed up on the shores and said “What do y’all want to drink?” This may be why chef Roberto Leoci has prospered in Savannah, cooking his own signature Southern Italian style dishes and bringing classics such as pappardelle alla nonna and bolognese to the tables of Savannah, all with the phrase, Make pasta, not war. While you may not think that the low-country and coastal Italy might be all that similar, just a glance at how we both worship at the church of seafood should let you know otherwise.

Leoci, who you might recognize from Connect’s Best Of or one of his homemade relishes or jalapeño jams at 24e, has been cooking in Savannah since about 2009, with much of that time at his own restaurant, Leoci’s Trattoria.

Leoci is now on the vertical move with his most recent venture: Pacci, a sophisticated coastal Italian concept, the first of its kind to be found on Savannah’s southern shores. I’m at Pacci to meet with Leoci, who trying to make his way out of a busy kitchen - it’s family night, which means pasta overdrive, and a chef who needs all hands on deck.

As I sit outside on the deck of his newest establishment, I can confidently say that the spread at Pacci is nothing short of what you would expect to find in midtown Manhattan.

I’m stunned, not because I wouldn’t expect it, but because as an ex-New Yorker back in Savannah, that can be a hell of a surreal feeling.

Of course, our night isn’t about staying at Pacci to try out the dishes, hoping to get a taste of Leoci’s latest creation.

Instead, we are headed out to Leoci’s spots, the one’s that exists as local favorites and late night refuges for the service industry sector, as we get to know more about the man who has found himself thrust to the forefront of Italian cuisine in Savannah. We sneak out the door of Pacci’s sweet air conditioning and head off into the Savannah night, which, depending on who you ask, can range from balmy to oppressive. The mood is instantly less frantic, as the downtown streets offer the sanctity of a low-key evening, basked in that familiar orange streetlight.

To avoid any ghost or pony tours, we cut through one of the many back alley’s. Between our steps around some garbage, Leoci starts off with the genesis of how this- the two restaurants, the food line, and the rising star, came about. “I actually used to sell ink for a company with some large name brands. But I was too young for the corporate world.. you know, here I was with a phone and a car, and it was just easy money. But my passion was eating on the expense account! It was this job that exposed to me different things to try: tripe, oysters, arugula. My parents, well really, my dad, was too cheap to buy any of that stuff. We mostly ate canned tuna with tomato sauce.”

“It’s good, I promise!”

We arrive at our first stop, Zunzi’s on Whitaker, where Leoci has become friend with the bartender. Sadly, Todd the bartender is off, but it doesn’t stop the entire staff from greeting Leoci with the love one gives away like water in the south. “On the house!” a woman yells to the bartender, pointing towards Leoci, as she keeps squeezing him, big bear hug style.

The air smells like falafel and Leoci gets a jack and coke. I refer back to eating well - very well, on the corporate account. Leoci laughs, and swears it was all for a research. One could assume such research might run one into a bad end, but it was the diversity of food that caused him to give up the corporate life and go into the food industry, starting from the bottom. He ran the gamut of positions, slowly transitioning to his role in the kitchen where the kid soon became the big time chef and creator of homemade prosciutto, an endeavor that only recently began to pay off.

-Continued on Next Page

“I just don’t want Savannah to lose what it is. I can’t really name it, but it’s that something, that thing you don’t find in other cities.

It’s a specialness, a weirdness...”

“I decided to do it as a re-investment in the company. The food line, using your own meats, Pacci has helped solve that. I made this stuff for years in Canada- sopressata, prosciutto, so I thought why reinvent the wheel? We partnered with Hunter Cattle, but the recipes are mine it’s my own meat. It’s genuine.”

The struggle to bring the food line out has been years in the making, but also one of perfect timing, as Savannah seems to be heading back down the path of local foodways. Yet, it’s also a step in many chef’s arsenal of personal branding these days: the food line, the sponsored product, etc. Between the ever-growing appetite for the new and novel, along with the rising popularity of everything from Food Networks, to reality tv chefs, the competition out there can get stiff.

This is not a concern of Leoci’s.

“I don’t look at what everyone else is doing.

I just keep up with my own path, my own purpose.“ It certainly is a fitting mantra, given that Savannah has always been about doing it’s own thing. But in one’s own thing, how does a larger scene grow, and for that matter, does Leoci think that Savannah’s food scene is on the rise? “We aren’t there yet. We don’t have enough demand. But I see things filtering down here, so who knows, maybe soon we’ll see a rise in fermenting and foraging.” We decide to do some local foraging on our own, finishing our drinks, and head to another Leoci favorite, Jen’s and Friends - and by foraging, I meant, get

another drink.

Jen’s has got that just seedy enough atmosphere that all the greatest bars have: dark and edgy, without the fear of catching something. It’s a warm, intimate atmosphere, the perfect bar to call home. Like the embrace at Zunzi’s, Leoci is greeted instantly as a loved local at Jen’s, with a call for a drink on the house, and much, much loud love.

“This is my siesta place- my 3pm spot” he says to me. “I never come here at night, so I’m sure this is surprising.” After the hi’s and how’s your momma’s, Leoci turns to me to ask to make a phone call - he’s checking in on his wife who he has also worked with for years at Leoci’s. They briefly chat and it’s clear from their conversation, he feels instantly relaxed.

It’s one thing to see people talk about the things that make them passionate, and another to see them talk to those who they are passionate about. After they finish with their “love- you’s”, I ask Leoci how the balance between having a personal life and a business gets measured out. He takes a big breath and sighs- anyone who has their eye on a dream knows that sigh. The sigh of wanting it all.

“You know, it can be too much. All I do is cook and work, so maybe it is selfish. Maybe this isn’t what you call a life. But I want to devote my life to doing this. I don’t want - no, I can’t stop. But family can get affected. You always have to lose something to gain something.” I pause in my tracks- as a woman, you get asked that question all the time. It’s the first time I’ve heard a man speak so candidly about the tightrope walk of trying to have it all.

As we pitter down the street from Jen’s and Friends, we make a turn onto Broughton street, the ground zero of Savannah’s changing face, a makeover that is running Atlanta investor Ben Carter around 75 million. Each place we pass seems to be a bigger announcement than the last, whether it’s the already open Urban Outfitters and Gap or the soon to open J.Crew, each storefront reads as proclamation of corporate Savannah on the rise. But after a drink or two, in the company of both Savannahites and transplant’s, there are some mixed feelings about the Broughton street revival, as well as the influx of other outside

investors bringing in more high-end projects.

Leoci is happy that Savannah is on the rise and catching up to speed with other larger citiesthis means more possibilities for an expanding food scene right? But all that expansion comes at a cost. “I just don’t want Savannah to lose what it is. I can’t really name it, but it’s that something, that thing you don’t find in other cities. It’s a specialness, a weirdness”, Leoci says.

But he also recognizes that in effect, he is equally a part of this change. No longer just an independent chef working on his own, but as a partner with Kimpton Restaurants (the primary owner of Pacci), he is part of the change that is happening. It is the same big out of town money that seems to be driving much of the change, both a blessing and a curse. “I mean, when Pacci started, I was able to hire back all my old staff and give them things like benefits and 401k’s -job security. At Trattoria, we aren’t able to do that because we aren’t backed by a larger company.”

It would be easy - hater level easy, to accuse Leoci of selling out for making this type of decision. But what happens when you aim to avoid an eat or get eaten culture that’s just part of the progression of capitalism? Is selling out what happens when we get to providing health insurance, livable wages, and sustainable work environments? Is providing those perks, albeit with the help of a large financial entity, “selling out”? Is it buying in? Or is it just being able to play the cards in front of you and make decisions that aren’t just about you and your success anymore?

“I’m responsible for other people’s livelihoods now too. It’s not just about growing, it’s about responsibility...you know, Leoci’s doesn’t get national recognition, but Pacci does. And, I’m just working my ass off. Sold out to me is just chilling out. Sold out is I’m at the beach drinking a coconut drink and have no worries. I worry. I have responsibility.”

We finish out our night at Ampersand, which on a Wednesday night, is experiencing a rare quiet. But the quiet doesn’t last long, as Leoci gets recognized by a few people, including an eager young Russian engineer, who just so happens to be drawing the design for an infinity engine on a napkin. “You are an arteest.” he

tells Leoci with a thick, but enthusiastic accent.

The two begin to look over his napkin based design for the infinity machine and talk more, leaving one to recognize one of the best things about Savannah, where a Russian engineer and an Italian chef come together for a casual drink. Passion recognizes passion, however form it takes.

Leoci answers his phone again - it’s getting late and he’s filming a segment for Paula Deen’s digital network early tomorrow morning and has been checking the time eagerly, making sure to space the drinks and chase with plenty of water.

Pacci is gaining recognition nationally, and scoring a spot on Deen’s network proves it.

I ask, given the recent timeline of Deen’s last few events, how he feels about being a part of a larger network, one that this writer has felt maybe doesn’t represent the Savannah in the way it needs to be represented. He pauses, giving it thought. It’s not the friendliest question and there is that old adage, “Don’t bite the hand…”.

After a few moments, our kind Russian friend speaks up. “What you have done, the work you have done, speaks for itself.”

Honesty can be a rarity, and it takes quite some time to learn how to navigate it in a world that doesn’t always appreciate it. It’s an apropos way to finish our night, where in an old-school town where new school things are happening, a conversation can bridge the divide between what Savannah has been and what it will become. Roberto Leoci, the Italian southern transplant, making pasta, not war - just happens to be the man with a jack and coke, paving his way through it.

WHAT A TREAT: RETAIL RETREAT We’ve always been huge fans of The Grateful Hound on downtown Barnard St. . But let’s face it, if you don’t live North of DeRenne, odds are you don’t venture downtown all too much. Well, all you Southside and Islanders are in luck. For those of you that haven’t been to a boutique pet supply store, think of it as an Urban Outfitters meets Whole Foods, for your pet. Imagine having someone with great taste, personally curating all the coolest Etsy-esque unique handmade pet items and putting them in one store - that’s Retail Retreat.

Owner Barbara Justice takes it a step further by incorporating a bakery right into the store. Fresh baked dog treats go for $8 per half-pound and come in gluten and wheat free options. The “pup”cakes look tasty enough to give our favorite human’s cupcake store that’s just up the road (Just Desserts) a run for its money. Hopefully folks will stop by there before they head up the road to another big box pet store. Woof.

CHEAP EATS ON THE SOUTHSIDE: WINDSOR CAFETERIA Starting an independent business is tough, starting it in the Southside is even harder. Hiding behind the Walgreens, on the corner of Abercorn and Largo Drive, owner Marcus Snipes has an uphill battle ahead of him, but one look at his boyish grin on Windsor Cafeteria’s facebook page and it looks like he is having the time of his life. Lucky for him, the good reviews keep coming in and he has already cleared 1,000 “likes” in only a few months of being open.

Admittedly, it took one of our readers to clue us in on this hidden gem. While we haven’t been there to eat ourselves, the menu reads like a Southerners wish list, with everything under the sun for breakfast and entrees ranging from alfredo to meatloaf, sandwiches to lasagna, and all the standard southern sides and fare that one would imagine.

The prices are ridiculously affordable: $4.95 for a sandwich & side, $5.95 for an entree with 2 sides.

At those prices, there’s hardly an excuse to pull into one of the millions of fast food chains that dominate the area. Now if people could only see his shiny new green & white sign, as they speed past the intersection, looking down at their phones as they text and drive...
