Summer is moving right along...

It won’t be long before this heatwave subsides and we all start breathing a little easier. I welcome the days of being able to sit outside on the porch without breaking a sweat and seeing more passersby on foot and by bike. (My own has been in the shed for over a month now.) My hopes are that this issue will act as a bit of inspiration for our readers to get out there and try something new, get a bit more active, or simply come on out of the a/c and at least into the shade for a lil while. This month we have some great tips on preserving the summer harvest, from our local garden guru, Kelly Lockamy; Annie Quinting from Oatland Island takes us into the beehive (and noone gets stung!); Then we decided to resvisit our neighbors at Best Academy. We actually featured them in our very first issue of Well FED (back when it was in black and white) and decided it was time to check on the garden and give them the full color treatment! Our friends at the Grateful Hound have been helping us with the pet section and had quite a nice time covering some of their favorite pet friendly dining spots. Whitney and I have already started to retrace their steps with our own dogs and I definitely agree that they have put together a great list. Also, be sure to check out our recipes this month from Scott Miller and Chef Matt Roher. Roher recently opened up a new BBQ joint in Bloomingdale that we plan on enjoying soon for their next concert. (Schedule on page 30) Finally, we would like to congratulate Elizabeth on 37th as they celebrate their thirtieth year of business. Photographer William (Tree) Chambers got some great shots of owners Greg and Gary, (page 34) who have been such great supporters of Well FED from early on. To all our supporters, we thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts. We never thought that this publication would grow as fast as it has, but because of all of you, ...well, let’s just say that we have all been Well FED!

> Savor the flavor of summer all year long by learning to preserve your own fresh fruits and veggies.

e can grow food year-round here in our Deep South climate, so why bother to preserve the harvest when we can harvest from our gardens all the time? I don’t know about y’all, but I like to add a can of tomatoes to my winter stews, blueberries in my smoothies in months other than June and July, and I especially enjoy fig preserves on my winter toast. Yes, eating seasonally is ideal on every level, from energy consumption to nutritional value, but let’s face it—a diet of collards, radishes and turnips can get pretty tiring by mid-January. Learning to preserve your harvest (or a local farmer’s harvest) increases our local food security, decreases fossil-fuel consumption of transporting out-of-season foods, and boosts the local economy, among many other intangible benefits including the self-satisfaction of gazing at rows of beautiful food in clear glass jars (no BPAs to worry about here! See the July Well Fed issue on that subject.) So what about the nutrient loss? Unless your fresh produce is eaten within 72 hours of harvest, you’ve already lost 15-60% of its original nutritional value; canned vegetables lose about 20% through the preserving process. So yes, eat freshly harvested produce year-round, but don’t hesitate supplementing with your own freshly harvested and preserved produce. Besides that, if you don’t count your labor of love in growing and preserving your food, it costs half the amount of store-bought food. And that statistic doesn’t even account for your own produce being organically grown, which adds a huge value tag on many levels. According to a UGA pamphlet on canning, if properly handled, home-canned freshly harvested vegetables are higher in nutrient content than most grocery stores’ “fresh” produce! How long do you really think it takes to get produce from the fields in California to the shelves of your local grocer? So when

Well FED

considering canning the bounty of summer crops, make sure you know exactly how fresh the produce is, either by harvesting it yourself from your own garden, from a pick-your-own farm, or ask the farmer at the market when he/she harvested the crop you’re buying. At the farmer’s market, you can often arrange a week ahead of time to buy a case of freshly picked tomatoes, peaches etcetera. They’ll appreciate knowing they already have a case sold for the next market day! Preserving food inhibits the natural ripening activity of food enzymes, by either removing water (dehydration), or removing oxygen (canning), so that bacteria, yeast and mold organisms cannot degrade the food. However, nutrient content such as vitamins A, C and riboflavin decrease with long storage times, so eat your preserved food by the time it comes around to harvest that food again—and start the cycle all over. Following are brief descriptions of two food preservation methods: canning and drying. Fermenting might have to have an article on its own next month! These methods offer a way to store food without reliance on electric energy so that when the electricity goes out in stormy weather you don’t run the risk of losing your preserved food. I won’t attempt to describe all processes here; rather, I’d like to give a glimpse of what it all entails so you can feel inspired to take a class, learn from a book, friend or relative about your methods of choice. There are two processes for canning. For tomatoes and fruits that are high in acid content or for recipes that add acid such as lemon or vinegar, steam or water bath is used. Use pressure canning for low-acid foods, which are basically all the rest. Blanching the food stops the enzymes that cause fruits and vegetables to ripen, helping to preserve the color and texture during storage. The food is washed, blanched, peeled, cubed, sliced or left whole, heated in a sauce pan and sealed in jars to then be processed in the appropriate canner.

Shelf life is one to two years, the pressure method having the longer storage life. Canning requires basic kitchen supplies and will cost about $75–$100 for the steam or water canner or $100+ for a pressure canner and $8-10 for 12 jars. However, these materials are re-used year after year so they can be considered “capital costs.” There are several steps in the dehydrating process to follow. Wash, blanch, peel or not, and slice thinly and evenly, then dip in an ascorbic acid solution to further preserve the color and texture. Syrup dips can also be used to make candied fruits. Spread produce on drying racks in dehydrator, watch and wait 2–10 days depending on moisture content and size. Conditioning the dried foods is the last step and consists of putting dried foods in an airtight container for several days, allowing the remaining moisture to be evenly distributed throughout the batch, watching for condensation, and re-drying in the dehydrator if condensation appears. Finally, store food in air-tight containers. Shelf life depends on storage temperatures, moisture content, and light.A safe rule of thumb is 6–12

months. The cost of buying or making the dehydrator is the biggest capital outlay. I highly recommend a solar dehydrator to save energy and money in the long run. Make it yourself—Google can be your best friend in finding designs, and You Tube has lots of demo videos on the subject. The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension service has pamphlets available online and through their office in the Old Court House on Bull St. The Savannah Urban Garden Alliance (SUGA) is offering four classes on food preservation through the W. Broad St.YMCA’s Growing Edge Educational Garden in August (13th & 27th) and September (17th & 24th). I will be teaching canning and fermenting, and David Malpass will be teaching dehydration and demonstrate the construction of a solar dehydrator. Look for upcoming events by signing on to Facebook pages of the Savannah Urban Garden Alliance and Transition Town Savannah. We’ll create event pages for you to sign up on, and the class will be held only if ten or more people attend (donation-based fee.)

The Buzz about Bees by Annie Quinting

When I started working at Oatland Island Education (now Wildlife) Center in 1995, the second and third floors of the 75+ year-old main building were used for storage. Most of the stuff was junk, but I found a pile of beekeeping equipment stored in trash bags on the third floor. There was a stack of hive boxes out by the garden area where we taught children about how people keep bees and use the honey as sweetener, but the hive was empty. I got to thinking that Oatland Island should have bees. And that’s where this journey began… Not too long after that I read an article about Ted Dennard, owner of Savannah Bee Company. I decided to contact him to see if he would come out and tell me what the piles of beekeeping equipment were and what I needed to get started. He was very gracious and dedicated many hours going through the equipment and teaching me what it was, what I needed to add and about beekeeping in general. It was a serendipitous encounter because Ted ended up working at Oatland as a naturalist, and together we got the Oatland apiary started. Later, he housed his fledgling company there. Looking back on it now, it seems so odd that I would have gotten involved with bees, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Honeybees are such wondrous creatures. When I pull a frame from the hive, I’m mesmerized just watching them. Their calming buzz, their fragile wings fanning, their little bottoms hiked in the air wafting pheromones, their dances that tell the others the secrets that only they know…amazing! They perform their duties without question. Everything they do is for the survival of the colony. They work themselves to death, literally. A worker bee will live six weeks in the summer. When they come out of their cell (cocoon), they enter the work force by starting with menial, but necessary, tasks. First, they’re “housekeepers”—cleaning cells and taking out the garbage. Then they become “nurses”—feeding the larvae. Next, they’re “waxmakers”—building honeycomb, capping brood cells and finished honey. Then they’re promoted to “guard bees”—protecting the hive from predators. Finally, they graduate to “foragers” or “field bees”—the ultimate position of responsibility, other than the queen, who is the egg-laying machine. The queen’s responsibility is to lay eggs (up to 2,000 a day!) and thereby build the colony of workers so that they can store as much honey and pollen as possible to keep the colony alive through the dearth months. Workers are incomplete females and generally do not lay eggs, although occasionally there can be a “laying worker,” an indication of a queen-less hive and a detriment to the colony as a whole.Then there are the drones, or males. They only have one job—servicing queens from other hives.

They do not have stingers and cannot feed themselves; nurses have to feed them. When cold weather comes, the workers boot them out because they don’t want to waste their energy or resources on caring for the drones during the winter. Today, honeybee colonies face many threats, which magnify the importance of beekeepers. Beekeepers must be constantly vigilant about monitoring parasites such as Varroa mites, small hive beetles and wax moths, all of which can decimate a colony if not kept in check. Other threats come from viruses and fungi, which cause various brood diseases.The most recent threat is called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). There are many theories about what might cause CCD: it might be pesticide toxicity, a virus or malnutrition, but one thing is for sure—when the cause is identified it will be one more thing on the beekeeper’s checklist. Since it is much more difficult to be a beekeeper now than ever before, why bother? The most important reason is that 30% of everything we eat is a dependent upon honeybee pollination. This includes most fruits and nuts as well as a good many vegetables that adorn our plates. Even indirectly they help us by pollinating crops such as alfalfa, which is a major food source for livestock. Think of it this way: If honeybees ceased to exist, when we ordered a hamburger at our favorite joint, all we’d get is an empty plate—no ketchup, mustard, lettuce, bun, tomato, onion, cheese, or meat! Of course there are other benefits, not the least of which is that liquid gold called honey. Honey is the best-known product made by honeybees. They create it by sucking up nectar from flowers, which goes into a “honey stomach” where the bees add special enzymes. When the honeybees return to the hive, they regurgitate (I love to tell the kids that after they’ve tasted it!) the nectar and place it in the honeycomb cells. Because nectar is mostly water, the bees fan the honey with their wings to dehydrate it. When it has dehydrated sufficiently, they build wax caps over the cells to encase the honey. They will later use it as a food source (carbohydrate) for themselves and the larvae. Their protein source is the pollen they collect, which they also store in the comb. Honeybees are the only bees that actually overwinter in colonies, and therefore they must store food in their “pantry” for the winter. In actuality, they don’t use all the honey they store, and that is why beekeepers can take a portion of it, but they must leave 20-30 lbs. (the amount depends on the region) for the bees to survive on. Other products that we can utilize are beeswax, pollen, propolis (a natural antibiotic), royal jelly, and bee venom. Each of these gifts from the hive has health benefits that cannot be rivaled by even the most costly manmade creations. So, the next time you see a honeybee in your yard, don’t scream and swat. Instead, give her thanks, for she is working very hard and will give you gifts that will enrich your life.

Don’t let your child come to school with Doritos at Best Academy—they’ll go right in the trash.

By Natalie Vonloewenfeldt

Bob and Nancy Isaacson, the owners of the small private preschool, are committed to teaching healthy eating as part of their curriculum. Junk food doesn’t make it past the door. And as part of the tuition, Best serves freshly-prepared, vegetarian meals to all of their students—the only preschool in the area to offer such a service. For years, scientists have been reporting that what kids eat effects how they learn. More parents and politicians have gained awareness about early childhood nutrition and have taken action regarding unhealthy items on local school menus, but the focus seems to be on schools for kids 5 and older. The Isaacsons saw a niche that needed to be filled for younger children in daycare, from birth to five years old. “ If you are going to make an impact in someone’s life, there is a distinct advantage at this age,” explains Bob.

The Isaacsons never expected to run a preschool of any kind. Nancy was a stay-at-home mom, raising four girls. Bob owned restaurants and properties in Atlanta and Savannah and is a practicing attorney. The family has always been mindful of civic opportunities, however, and when they rented one of their properties in Savannah’s Victorian district to a daycare, they noticed a positive effect on the surrounding community. Loitering on the street corner went down and the area seemed more family-friendly, sprouting the idea that daycares are good business for neighborhoods. Then Bob spotted a huge but mostly unused playground attached to a church in a different neighborhood where they owned property. The neighborhood (along the Waters Avenue redevelopment corridor) was perfectly situated for the diverse student body they

were hoping to serve. He approached the church, and the minister had long thought a daycare would be a perfect fit for the building used for meetings and Sunday school and connected to the church playground. The church agreed to rent the space to the Isaacsons, and Best Academy was born. They learned quickly that the Academy would take more than a good idea to sustain it. In the restaurant business, Bob had always hired someone else to run the show. This time, Nancy was took the helm. She knew there was a need to fill and that most schools did not offer their students freshly-prepared, healthy meals.

It was also important for the school to be affordable, progressive and diverse. So they went to work rehabilitating the building, improving the playground, hiring an experienced staff and planning meals. There was a learning curve, but they eventually found the rhythm. “ We found out that it is really all about the teachers,” says Bob. “If you have great teachers, you get great results—just like when you are operating a restaurant, it’s all about the chef.”

Food is just another way to engage the kids. The school has an organic garden that parents help plant twice a year. The students tend the garden by weeding, watering and finally harvesting—they are amazed to see the plants grow from a tiny seedling to a food source. Plus, they can eat right out of the garden since no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers are used, only soil donated by Longwood Plantation that’s brewed from organic compost. As they get older, the children become involved in preparing the meals as often as possible. The measuring and mixing in cooking is often used to introduce children to science, but at Best Academy it’s also about teaching kids where their food comes from. This week, the kids filled ravioli with a butternut squash filling for lunch. Bob makes pancakes with them some mornings. “They love to crack the eggs,” he says with a broad smile.

The healthy menus play an important part. Rice, pasta, quesadillas with cheese, fruit spread instead of jelly, all-natural peanut butter and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables are staples. The vegetarian emphasis is less about not eating meat than it is about the kids learning to eat—and like—what’s most nutritious. Parents may look at the menu with spinach pizza on it and say “My child won’t eat that,” but the Isaacsons report that they have few problems with picky eaters. Best’s academic curriculum is loosely based on a science curriculum called ScienceStart!, but the teachers have a lot of freedom to tailor their classes to the students’ particular needs. “ No matter what, all children still need their ABC’s, 123’s, colors and shapes,” Nancy says. “We have no interest in being babysitters; we are always engaging them. If a teacher is changing a baby’s onesie she might say, ‘we are taking off your blue onesie and putting on your yellow onesie.’”

COFFEE IS CULINARY by Scott Miller

he statement that coffee is culinary is one I have borrowed from the administrator of one of the largest forums on the internet specifically focused on many aspects of coffee: brewing, grinding, making espresso, roasting, locating local shops, equipment reviews and many other topics. The idea that coffee is more than a utility for caffeine delivery interests me tremendously. I attended culinary school and worked in the hospitality industry for a number of years long before I became focused on high quality specialty coffee roasting. As I began to explore coffee and the huge variety of flavors that can be found in coffee from different regions, I was reminded of the training and education we received in school regarding wine. There are parallels in the coffee world: growing regions, bean varietals, farming methods, and brewing methods all make a difference in the final tasting experience. Another really interesting aspect of coffee, is its use in culinary applications. Almost anyone who has tried more than one brownie recipe has likely encountered coffee as an ingredient. Most of the brownie recipes I have seen suggest using instant coffee granules. The purpose of coffee being added to recipes where chocolate is a featured flavor is that coffee intensifies and enhances the chocolate. My experience with coffee

and in the kitchen has convinced me of something a culinary school instructor was fond of saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cannot make chicken salad from chicken scratch.â&#x20AC;? The point being is to use the best possible fresh ingredients you can afford to get the best results. When it comes to instant coffee, if you price it per ounce, it is expensive in addition to probably not offering the best flavor you could get from simply using finely ground coffee. We regularly grind coffee for recipes in our shop to fine powder like what is used for Turkish coffee to use in recipes with great success. The use of coffee in sweet dishes is fairly common and there are numerous sources for ideas. What has always been more interesting to me is how coffee can be used as a savory component to best show how it enhances a dish. Many people who grew up in this area or other parts of the South are familiar with redeye gravy. Since coffee is the main component of redeye gravy, it is safe to say coffee actually is a savory component with which we are acquainted. Coffee based spice rubs, marinades and sauces are excellent ways to use to enhance meat, seafood and chicken. If you have a favorite spice rub for meat and want to see how coffee can add another dimension to your cooking you could simply substitute coffee for some of the paprika that is so often a major part of many spice mixtures. Coffee adds a savory depth of flavor that is pleasant without being overpowering. - continued on next page Well FED

Using coffee as part of the liquid in a BBQ sauce is also another way that coffee can contribute to a meat based dish. When I began to experiment with using coffee in both bean form and liquid I was able to better appreciate the great versatility that coffee brings to the table outside of simply enjoying it as a beverage. Here is a simple recipe for Coffee Cardamom Chicken and a tasty Tomatillo sauce if you want to experiment with coffee as part of a savory dish. Bon AppĂŠtit!

COFFEE CARDAMOM CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS: 8 tablespoons coffee, ground 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground 1 teaspoon cardamom, ground Zest of one lime 4 chicken breasts DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 375Â° F. In a large bowl, mix together the coffee grounds with the pepper and cardamom and the zest. Coat chicken on both sides and place in a glass or ceramic dish. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least one hour. To cook, remove the dish of chicken from the refrigerator and place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes or until chicken breasts are no longer pink. Serve with homemade tomatillo sauce (recipe below).

TOMATILLO SAUCE INGREDIENTS: 12 oz. tomatillo, husks removed 2 ea. jalapenos (stemmed) 1 medium white onion, peeled & roughly chopped 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 1/4 cup cilantro leaves and stems, chopped 12 oz. chicken stock salt & pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS: Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Grill tomatillos, jalapenos, onion and garlic in skillet, occasionally turning to toast all sides, for about 5 minutes. There should be some charring of the ingredients; this adds to the savory flavor of the sauce. Put the ingredients from the skillet into a blender, add cilantro and puree until smooth. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Pour puree into pan and cook, stirring constantly, until it darkens in color, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, season with salt and pepper, and lower heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 30 minutes.

In addition, the staff has been known to serve complimentary beef bones to their four-legged customers. Live music makes Blowin’ Smoke a hot spot on the weekends (sets begin at 6:45pm), but be mindful that the noise may scare some dogs.

It is no secret that Savannah is a dog-friendly city. From the multitude of dogs that regularly romp in the city parks and squares, to the water bowls lined up out front of downtown shops, Savannah’s love for its canine friends is clear. Perhaps nowhere more can Savannah’s enthusiasm for its dogs be seen than in the numerous dog-friendly restaurants that the city has to offer. Classic downtown destinations such as Mellow Mushroom, J. Christophers, Wild Wing Café, Vinnie Van Go Go’s and The Olde Pink House are well known for catering to their canine clientele. Stroll by any one of these restaurants during mealtime and it’s a safe bet that you will see some dogs relaxing and enjoying a day out with their family. However, Savannah is also home to some off-the-beaten-path restaurant gems where both you and your best friend will be made to feel right at home. Whether you are searching for a great breakfast, meeting some friends for lunch, or are in need of a memorable evening on the town,The Hostess City offers something for any occasion.

Here are some options you should consider adding to your dog-friendly dining repertoire.

Kicking Back with BBQ

If you are like my husband and you enjoy bonding with your dog over your shared love of meat, meat, and more meat, then an evening at Blowin’ Smoke BBQ (514 MLK Jr. Boulevard, Savannah) is right up your alley. In addition to featuring a large amount of covered

Romantic Evening Who says that a night of fine dining by soft candlelight means that you have to leave your dog at home? At Leoci’s Trattoria (606 Abercorn Street, Savannah), people and their canine friends can leave the city behind and escape to the quiet respite that is Leoci’s large, beautiful and shaded outdoor deck. The staff is comprised of dog lovers, as evidenced by the ice-cold water dishes that are brought to your dogs immediately after being seated. Not only does the serenity of Leoci’s deck

create a calm environment where dogs can relax at your feet, but the large grassy area behind the restaurant is the perfect spot for potty breaks or a game of fetch. After dinner, you and your pups can enjoy a walk around Forsyth Park, located just steps from the restaurant.

to keep you and your pooch cool. Finally, though dogs are famously not permitted on the on Tybee’s beaches, the Tybee Island Dog Park is located just down the street from the restaurant. It’s a great spot for some off-leash fun either before or after your meal.

Casual Dining Near the Water

Delicious treats await both you and your pup at Tortuga’s Island Grille (2815 River Drive, Thunderbolt), where the only thing better than the breezes off of the Intracoastal Waterway is the food. The owners and staff at Tortuga’s are dog lovers, and the restaurant has multiple large dog bowls ready to hydrate your pup. Since mosquitos and gnats are often a problem by the water, the staff keeps plenty of a locally made, all natural bug repellant called “No Natz” on hand. Because it is all natural, it is safe to spray “No Natz” liberally on both you and your dog. Note that Tortuga’s has only limited outdoor seating available, so it is wise to call ahead to make sure there is a spot for you and your dog. After your meal, consider taking your dog for a stroll along the Thunderbolt waterfront or through Bonaventure Cemetery, just a short distance away.

Weeknight Meals

Ever since coming under new management, getting a table at Sol (1611 Habersham St) has been increasingly difficult. Any restaurant featuring more tables outdoors than inside makes it an ideal spot to bring your dog for a fantastic midweek meal. Each table has an umbrella and there are plenty of fans to help keep everyone in your party cool. What’s more, there are plenty citronella torches to make sure that the bugs don’t bother you or your pup. The combination of great food and drinks, plenty of outdoor seating, and an extremely dog-friendly staff makes this an easy and enjoyable place to bring your dog.

Staycation Dining Need a break from the everyday? North Beach Grill (33 Meddin Drive, Tybee Island) is the perfect place for both you and your dog to get away from it all. Step on to the deck at this cool little spot located adjacent to Tybee’s North Beach parking lot and you can’t help but feel like you are on vacation. And though you are dining close to the beach, most of the outdoor tables have large umbrellas

Yappy Hour!

For drinks and food with your dog after work, we suggest Tubby’s Tank House (2909 River Drive, Thunderbolt), located just down the street from Tortuga’s. Tubby’s enormous outdoor porch features a large bar, friendly service and plenty of seating, making it an ideal spot to unwind with your dog in tow. Watch a game on one of the outdoor televisions while your dog tries to nose his way into your stash of free popcorn. And to make sure you dog doesn’t miss out on all of the fun, bring along a Bowser Beer (nonalcoholic doggie beer) from The Grateful Hound to help ensure he lives up to his party-animal potential.

Remember that this is just a small list of some of our favorite restaurants to bring our dogs. There are many other wonderful options that would love to welcome both you and your pooch. So the next time you go out to eat, don’t forget to bring your best friend along and enjoy!

BlueGrass & Barbecue by David Gignilliat

A restaurant run by Chef Matthew Roher means many things. First, it’s going to be local flavors and local ingredients, including meat, poultry, fish and dairy sourced by area purveyors. There’ll also likely be a staff-run organic garden, meaning the vegetables and herbs he uses actually come from the property, not some far-flung exotic locale. And you won’t find the box trucks of the national food distributors making deliveries- Unless they made a wrong turn, that is. Roher, who has established Cha Bella as the local citadel for ‘earth-to-table’ dining since taking over the East Broad Street eatery in 2007, has adapted his novel approach to the world of smoked and grilled meats, recently debuting his newest venture, Bluegrass BBQ, in Bloomingdale. “Like a lot of chefs, I’ve always been a big fan of barbecueing, of cooking big primal cuts of meat. It’s always been something of a little private dream of mine to be able to have a little spot where I could just cook and eat,” admits Roher. “I had heard through the grapevine from a few different people that there was a vacant space in front of this really groovy luthier by the name of Randy Wood, and that he was actively looking to get an operator in there to take it over.”

Bluegrass BBQ officially opened June 13, and the results have been positive. Roher is trying to convert his new local clientele “one plate at a time.” “I don’t want [guests] in here just because of the [organic] story. I want them in there because the food is killer,” he says. Like many barbecue spots, the BBQ menu is straightforward - divided among starters, sandwiches, plates and sides - but has the occasional culinary flourish redolent of a classically-trained chef like Roher. For starters, smokey wings and kettle chips (homemade and topped with crumbled blue cheese and pulled pork). Sandwich offerings include homemade sausage, BBQ pork, meatloaf and a grilled summer vegetables, all served with a side.The ‘plates’ come with two sides and cornbread, and include shrimp and fried green tomatoes, pit pork, meatloaf, a ‘kitchen-sink’ style BBQ salad and house-cured country ham. On Friday and Saturdays, guests can enjoy slow-smoked local brisket plates and pastured pork ribs.

“wait a second, maybe there’s a better way to do this...” A little investigation confirmed the rumors. The space had been vacant for a while, and even in its few recent cameos as a BBQ spot, the dining experience and ownership had been inconsistent at best. Roher began talking with Wood, something of a legend in the luthier (one who makes stringed instruments) community, and the two just clicked. Though he wasn’t really looking to expand at the time, it was an opportunity he just couldn’t pass up.. “In fact, we were really poking at it pretty hard to find a reason not to [pursue it], and we just couldn’t,”

Roher recalls his stints at New York City eateries in the mid-1990s where it almost seemed like a competition to see who in the community get the most creative, rare and exotic ingredients from around the world, without regard to sustainability or the local community. “We’d have 15 or 20 different countries coming in each day off the trucks … It wasn’t a big deal back then, but when you start to realize the precious resources that we have, the escalating fuel prices, the impact on the local farmers, you start to realize that ‘wait a second, maybe there’s a better way to do this,” he says. -In fact, there was... From 2002 to 2003, Roher worked at the exclusive Hampton Island resort, 40 minutes outside of Savannah. The property included a 15-acre biodynamic farm, fishing boats and local hunters, meaning he could source nearly all his product autonomously. “When you get used to working that way, as a chef, you really can’t go back, “ says Roher, who attended the Culinary Institute of America. “I figured, if I’m going to be in this business, and I’m going to feed people, this is the only way I can do it.” Over the last 10 years, Roher has cultivated relationships with nearby farmers in virtually every product category, an effort that has been bearing fruits -- and vegetables, among other things -- one order at a time. Green Bridge Farms, based in Guyton and run by Michael Maddox, provides beautiful organic vegetables (“string beans with the leaves still on them and 15 different types of peppers,” Roher mentions fondly). For his milk and dairy, Roher often uses Southern Swiss Dairy, in Waynesboro, Ga., about 100 miles northwest of Savannah near Augusta. A family-owned and operated milk processing facility, the milk and dairy at Southern Swiss is certified natural and free of chemicals and hormones, and is processed and bottled the same day as it is milked. On the protein side, for many of his chicken, pork and beef needs, Roher uses Savannah River Farms, run by Kelly and Ben Deen, fourth-generation cattle farmers. He also uses Hope Grows Farm in nearby Sylvania, run by Elliot McGann and Arianne McGinnis, young farmers who met while working for Americorps in post-Katrina New Orleans.

“It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that a naturally-foraging pig that’s been fed an allvegetarian diet and is not pumped full of medicines, chemicals and nitrates, it’s going to be just plain better for your body. It just is,” suggests Roher. This approach extends to the healthy preparation of classic Southern side items, which traditionally have not been known as a haven for calorieconscious preparation. “And many of our sides and other items are not laden down with additional fats or overly long cooking times, and things like that,” adds Roher. “ For example, our string beans are just fresh, bright, crispy and flavorful, as opposed to them either coming out of a metal can or [on the stove] boiling for hours.” Roher suggests that the late summer in Savannah is an ideal perfect time for home cooking, whether its the classic weekend barbecue with friends or just a solid summer family meal.. “I’d say balance is the whole key, “ says Roher, who harvests okra, collard greens, cabbage, mustard greens, tomatoes, sunflowers and sweet potatoes each Tuesday out of the Bluegrass garden. “If you’re going to do a slow-cooked meat, a barbequed meat or a whole table full of ribs, keep in mind that this time of year, you have an absolutely amazing array of local vegetables at your fingertips, and the grill does really well with them.”

Two Brothers, One Restaurant, 30 years of history.

by Aly Morita with photos by William Chambers

As a recent transplant from Los Angeles, I’ve been fortunate to indulge in my share of innovative restaurants and gourmet fare. My experience at Elizabeth on 37th eclipsed them all. One expects great food when visiting a reputable restaurant, yet in the South one can also anticipate a friendly reception for which the region is so famous. There is something to be said about Southern grace and hospitality—a warm welcome, a “Yes, Ma’am,” “Thank you, Sir,” or a friendly smile and easy banter. There is also something to be said about longevity and thoughtful practice—two elements one rarely encounters in the restaurant business. Elizabeth on 37th embodies all of these qualities. To dine there is not to just simply partake in a fine meal. It’s like visiting someone’s home, except that the person in the kitchen is an award-winning chef (James Beard “Best American Chef” and Forbes “Top 40 Restaurants in America”) and the owners have collected over thirty years of experience in hospitality, epicurean genius and fine wines. Situated on the corner of 37th and Drayton, the turn-ofthe-century Greek Revival mansion can seem imposing and grand, but upon entering, a smiling cadre of waiters awaits. At the suggestion of a friend, I was told to ask for Gary to recommend a wine for my dinner, which I did to my kind, pony-tailed waiter. “Oh. Well, I’m Gary,” my waiter answered. “Perfect!” I exclaimed, surprised to have met the Gary mentioned by my friend. It was not until later that I came to find that Gary is actually one of the owners of the restaurant. Faux pas or not? Despite the accolades and esteemed reputations, owners and brothers Greg and Gary Butch do not rest on their laurels. Every day the two brothers don waiter’s garb, describe with loving detail the specials-of-theday and welcome guests as they have for the last 30 years. They may fade into the background of Elizabeth’s or among the fleet of waiters, but they are nonetheless present and involved with the daily operation of the restaurant. -Continued on next page.

The Butch Brothers, Gary (below) and Greg (above)

“Our pride comes one plate at a time” Before local, sustainable, or organic became part of the foodie vernacular, Elizabeth on 37th set the standard in Savannah for fresh, innovative fine dining. Their menu is a solid, inventive representation of Southern fare that makes abundant use of local harvests (Sapelo Island clams, Vidalia onions, Georgia shrimp, coastal grouper) and from their own herb and vegetable garden. Fried, heavy or rich don’t come into play here. Instead, Southern food becomes fresh and delectable while the dining experience remains warm and personal. A bit of history: In 1981, Elizabeth Terry and her husband Michael moved from Atlanta to Savannah. They bought the old mansion on 37th Street with the intentions of taking her knack for cooking to the next level. She had long entertained family and friends with her innate understanding of food—how to cook with a little panache, which herbs and portions of meat and dairy lent to a memorable dish, and how to marry the fresh vegetables and resources available here in Georgia to create the elements of a wholesome meal. She was, so to speak, the Julia Child of the South—selftaught and full of joy for cooking. The Terrys set up shop serving only two main course dishes but were an instant success. Savannah hadn’t seen the likes of them before, as the best dining in Savannah at that time was a Chinese restaurant downtown.

Inevitably, the popularity of Elizabeth on 37th precipitated the creation of more entrées. As the menu broadened, the Butch brothers came on board to manage the front of the house. After a successful run, the Terrys came to Greg and Gary in 1988 to proposition them for the next chapter. During a slow, thoughtful transition, Kelly Yambor, the current Executive Chef, apprenticed under the original Elizabeth.The Terrys moved west, and the brothers and Ms.Yambor continued the legacy. For more than 20 years, Elizabeth on 37th has retained its standard for freshness and originality set by its namesake.Though their success could afford them lives of leisure, the Butch brothers show up every day with grace and good humor. They continue to participate in Savannah’s community—lending their support to a worthy cause , getting to know the locals, welcoming with equal enthusiasm the SCAD graduate or couple celebrating their first or 50th wedding anniversary. A gourmet meal can be expected, Southern hospitality anticipated, but what makes Elizabeth on 37th truly exceptional is the excellence they’ve upheld for the last 30 years. Although the original Elizabeth Terry may be gone from the kitchen, Kelly, Greg and Gary continue to maintain the integrity of her cooking and hospitality. Their standard of excellence is delivered every day. —one plate at a time.

Fine Summer

Whites

by Kevin Smith of Savannah Sommelier

Most afternoons during the dog days of summer, there is a brief period when a soft breeze pushes the heat of the day away for the night. This pocket of time is suited perfectly for relaxing outdoors with friends—and the enjoyment of crisp white wines. Here are four suggestions that are refreshing on the palate as well as the wallet—all retail for under $20.

Albarino Our first adventure takes us to the northwest corner of Spain where the Rias Baixas district produces the varietal Albarino. The name is translated from “the white wine from the Rhine,” presumably after the Cluny Monks who brought the grape to Iberia in the 12th century. Originally, it was thought to be a Riesling clone from the Alsace region of France, but it also has ties to the French grape Petit Manseng. The Rias Baixas district generates Spain’s Albarinos, most prominently in the town of Cambados. The grape has a distinctive aroma, close to that of Viognier and Gewurztraminer, showing hints of apricot and peaches. On the palate, expect a crisp and clean wine with flavors of rich ripe fruit. We suggest the 2009 Alargo Albarino, best paired with a delicate whitefish like halibut or with any of our region’s many shrimp-based dishes.

Vinho Verde Let’s travel south to the northern area of Portugal, specifically the Minho region close to Braga, where locals lovingly manufacture Vinho Verde wines. Made from local grapes such as Azal, Avesso, Trajandura, Loureiro and Arinto, the Vinho Verdes are light and fresh and exhibit lemon or straw-colored juice. With less than one atmosphere of pressure in the bottle, they are not categorized as sparkling wines, but they do have a definite petillance. We qualify Vinho Verde wines as a “back porch quaffer,” meaning they usually contain a low alcohol content (8%-11%) and have fruity and floral aromas. Historical records dating back to 870 CE make note of the Vinho Verdes, and the Romans, Seneca and Pliny all made reference to vines in the area between the rivers Minho and Douro. There are references to exporting this wine to northern European countries from the early 12th century. Close to 35,000 hectares are “under vine” (about 86,000 acres) in Portugal, making up 15% of the region’s total farming area. Split among this swath of land are 30,000 producers of grapes that make up Vinho Verde wines. We recommend the 2009 Quinta da Aveleda Vinho Verde. For a relaxing afternoon, fill an ice bucket with three or four bottles of this wine and set it by the pool. Complement this wine with light, mild cheeses and some nottoo-tangy chorizo. It also pairs wonderfully with seafood, fish and flavorful fruit salads.

Picpoul De Penet To sample the next wine, we travel northwest from Portugal to the Mediterranean coast of France. Here, just northwest of Marseilles in the town of Meze, grows a refreshing varietal called Picpoul de Penet. Picpoul is grown mostly in the Languedoc and Rhone Valley areas of France, thriving in dark-skinned (Picpoul Noir) and light-skinned (Picepoul Blanc) versions, as well as the rare Picpoul Gris. Picpoul grapes enjoyed a lengthy history in the Languedoc area of France until the phyloxera root infestation in the mid 1800’s, when the varieties dropped in popularity due to susceptibility to fungal diseases. But the good news is that it’s making a comeback: With over 2500 acres currently under vine in France, we can expect to see this varietal grow in stature. Picpoul tends to bud late and still has some sensitivity to oidium (a fungus) but its bold taste earns it ardent admirers (the name literally translates to “lipstinger” and refers to the acid content of this wine.) The grape is also widely used as a blending grape in the production of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The wine tends to be green/gold in color and very full-bodied and shows some lemon flavors. Our favorite is the 2010 Font-Mars Picpoul De Pinet, though your favorite retailer or sommelier may have a different recommendation for this varietal. It pairs well with fish, oysters and poultry—our favorite meal with this wine is bowtie pasta with chicken with a spinach-laced cream sauce.

Pinot Gris Our last stop on this whirlwind tour of whites takes us all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to the Napa Valley of California. The origins of Pinot Gris date back to the Middle Ages in the Burgundy region of France, where the grape was so popular that cuttings were distributed throughout France, then to Germany and Hungary. The grape is now grown across the globe in 16 countries, from Argentina to Canada. The grape itself is thought to be a mutant clone of the Pinot Noir grape and exhibits on the vine like a pinecone, often gray in hue. The name is literal—“Pinot” means pinecone, and “Gris” means grey in French. The clone of Pinot Gris grown in Italy is known as Pinot Grigio. David Lett of Eyrie Vineyards in Oregon planted the first domestic Pinot Gris vines in the late 1960s. In an attempt to increase sales, David began grafting Riesling

vines to Pinot Gris in 1981. He needed to create a sustainable market for this fledgling varietal and decided to market the wine to salmon fisherman as the wine was a great match with fish. The popularity of Pinot Gris burgeoned in the mid-1990s when well-capitalized producers could bear the burden of expensive marketing campaigns. King Estate, near Eugene, Oregon, was the first domestic vineyard to develop a sustainable market for Pinot Gris and is credited with bringing the Pinot Gris grape to the consciousness of American consumers. King Estates is the world’s leading producer of premium Pinot Gris as well as the world’s largest organic vineyard. For this last summer white, we recommend the 2008 Hendry Ranch Napa Valley Pinot Gris. (The Hendry family has been farming the same vineyard in Napa since 1939 and markets ten different varietals carefully distributed among 47 distinct blocks of land carved out of 114 acres, each block with distinct soil characteristics and differences.) This delicate Pinot Gris shows a sweet floral nose, is light-bodied and crisp with aromas of citrus, nectarine and cream. There’s a bright acidity with characteristic minerality and a lime-rind edge on the finish. Light entrées pair wonderfully with this wine, from fresh-caught seafood to pasta salads.

By the water, under the stars, a picnic with friends—a bottle of one of these crisp white wines enhances any plan to enjoy the rest of the summer. Kevin Smith is the owner of Savannah Sommelier LLC.
