Tableside tradition continues at Italian cuisine classic
tance. It’s something Cavatore says is important to his family and their offerings at their restaurant, and that pride shines through their classic Caesar. The Cavatore Tableside Caesar Salad is made with romaine lettuce, anchovies, croutons, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire and tabasco sauce, black pepper and salt and, of course, garlic; no eggs for this recipe. There are a few hidden ingredients, but you’ll have to stop in for an order and try your pallet at unveiling those secret tastes. Simple and bright are the likings of this salad with each bite – share if you like.
By Christina Martinez christina@theleadernews.com
Fun fact about the Caesar Salad: it’s not Italian rooted. The salad was created by restaurateur Caesar Cardini, who was an Italian immigrant who operated restaurants in Mexico and here in the U.S., according to Wiki. The recipe was adapted with Italian tastes – garlic, anchovies and the occasional egg – and perfected on Ella Boulevard, owner Federico Cavatore jokes. Featured dish: Tableside Caesar Salad Cavatore Italian Restaurant has been open for business since 1983 – that’s 34 years of family service. Through the years, the restaurant has printed a few different menus to adapt to customer wants or needs and seasonal trends. One menu item that has stayed the same is the Tableside Caesar Salad, or Insalata di Cesare. “Tableside service shows the guests how their food is prepared and it puts on a show,� Cavatore said. “It truly captivates you. You don’t find tableside being offered very more because it takes time to do.� In the Italian culture, slowing down and taking that time to spend with friends and family over a meal are of high impor-

A Cantonese classic is a new kind of comfort food Hop over to your neighborhood brewery
By Ozzie C. Davis For The Leader Town in City Brewing Co., founded by college friends who have a passion for beer and bringing people together, opened in 2014. This local brewery is crafting supremely quaffable beers with several new beers rotating every few weeks. Town in City Brewery features seven to 10 beers brewed on-site by Steve, Justin, Mario and the gang. Not only is it a cozy and friendly atmosphere, Town in City hosts and participates in local events if you ever need actual reasons to go have an amazing beer. The secret to Town in City’s brewing processes are written and drawn on the wall in bar room. So, if you want to figure out how they do it, walk on over and take a peek. Featured Beer: Chippedtooth IPA The story behind the Chippedtooth IPA name involves college, beer, inebriated running and an unfortunate tumble and, well, you get the idea. Ironically, this is their highest Alcohol by Volume offering. A sommelier may describe this IPA as “assertive but not overwhelming�. I stole that line from their Bar Manager, Mario-Sebastion Berry, who also happens to be a certified Sommelier. As with most things Mario says, he is spot on with his flavor profiles. This is more of a balanced brew that doesn’t scream hops and bitterness yet also seems to welcome the winter. After you drink a few Chippedtooth IPAs, running may not be recommended as to avoid any incidents.

O.C.D Recommend: Chippedtooth IPA Price: $-$$ Location: At the wonderful 5-point intersection of Cavalcade, Main, and Studewood, which I always thought would work best with just stop signs Voted Best Brewery in Readers’ Choice 2017
Even if the food wasn’t delicious – which it is, but I’ll get to that – I’d pay money just to visit with owner Mary Li. I watched her make the rounds of her restaurant, which is getting ready to celebrate its two-year anniversary, and realized that the friendliness and good cheer wasn’t just for me. Good food without good service is a deal breaker in a market as competitive as Houston and Li knows it. Born in Hong Kong, Li was a resident of Los Angeles and Chicago – where she was in the restaurant business – before moving with her mother to Houston 24 years ago. Li first got a job at the Houlihan’s on Westheimer before quickly being promoted to bartender. For more than 20 years, Li was the face of Tony Mandola’s bar program which explained her desire to have “a restaurant with really good Chinese food and a really good bar.� Mission accomplished. Featured dish: Chow Fun with bean sprouts, beef added As Li explained it, in Hong Kong Chow Fun is the Cantonese version of a hamburger or spaghetti and meatballs in the States – in other words, it’s comfort food. As ubiquitous as Chow Fun is, it is actually really hard to make well because the noodles are so flat and it’s hard to stir fry them without either the noodles getting stuck together, or without burning the soy sauce. Li said it is their test kitchen dish for new hires. Mine was perfect – a tribute to the Cantonese-speaking chefs who work in the kitchen. Fun fact: the point of sale receipts are in English and Cantonese so everyone can read them. My dish came with flank steak which I recommend, but you can get the vegetarian version, too. Today, I share just one dish, but I would be remiss if I didn’t also recommend the soup dumplings. You may be asking yourself how soup and dumplings can go together, but you just have to try them. Li can coach you on the right way to eat them, and she’ll no doubt have a good story for you, too.
B’s recommend: Chow Fun + add beef Price: $$ (Featured dish is $13 with an additional $5 for added beef ) Location: 4705 Inker St. Voted Best Asian in Readers’ Choice 2017

Flying Saucer Pie Co. probed and found to be delicious Flying Saucer must be the most famous pie shop in Houston and we are proud to have it in our neighborhood. The store has been baking pies at this location for 50 years and produces anywhere from 500-7,000 pies per day. If you like to break statistics down like me, on their busiest day, they make around five pies per minute. It is not uncommon for business people to buy 50 to 100 pies at a time to distribute to their customers for the holidays. Flying Saucer offers 10-15 different varieties from fruit to cream pies. They also offer our seasonal favorites for the holidays. Although during the holiday season, you are apt to stand in line for a few minutes, they do expand their hours to keep up with increased demand. So, whether you are in the mood for a single slice on date night or want a pie for each night of Hanukah, go check out this locally famous pie shop. Featured Pie: Strawberry Cream Pie This is the pie that put them on the intergalactic map. It is their top seller every year and is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Even during the holidays, Strawberry Cream outsells Apple and Pumpkin pies. All their ingredients are fresh and made without preservatives. The pie crust is made in-house and could be the best you have ever tasted. For around $15, you can save yourself a lot of effort and still have a homemade pie that is better than Grannie’s.

Let a RumHattan warm you this holiday season cook in New Orleans at Brennan’s and then moved in 2005 to Houston to work with Chris Shepherd. I’m supposed to be talking cocktails here, not gulf shrimp - or southern fried chicken. But I could. You get the point. I’ll let Harold’s bartender Jennifer Caldwell tell you about the cocktails: “I like it that we have an extensive cocktail program, but it’s not ostentatious. These are southern inspired classic cocktails. They are classic for a reason.” Featured Cocktail: RumHattan Jarrett says she is a lover of
By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com
Open for four years now, Herold’s in the Heights has earned its chops as a local favorite. The neighborhood restaurant and bar specializing in Southern and Creole cuisine maintains a casual vibe for when you want to go out for some great grub in an nice setting, but not be all snooty about it. Heights resident Alli Jarrett founded Harold’s, but she’s from the low country of South Carolina. Chef Antoine Ware began his career as a
Old Fashioneds and Manhattans and that she loves a good rum. So, what’s a girl to do? Turn the rum into a Manhattan. They’ve done this by taking an ounce and a half of Don Pancho 8 Year Rum (Caldwell says they like its flavor which is sweet and smoky but not overwhelming) and combining it with a half-ounce of Amaro Nonino, which adds a little bit of bitterness. The two dashes of Agnostura Bitters is another bittering agent that balances out the rum. Lastly, the single Luxardo cherry that sits on the bottom of the glass was

previously basking in syrup – so when you get down to the cherry that has soaked in a number of yummy liquids, it’s a perfect finish. “It’s a winter time drink but a cold drink perfect for Houston weather,” said Caldwell. “It’s holiday warmth when you taste it.”

Craft Chronicles
AIKIDO & SELF-DEFENSE KORYU WEAPONS
My top beers from 2017, Great American Beer Fest awarded The end is near! Well, the end of 2017 that is. As we sprint through the holiday season, it is a reminder that 2018 is right around the corner. Many people take the time to look at the year in review, and I don’t see a reason why Craft Chronicles shouldn’t do the same. I have had the pleasure of drinking and writing about many different beers over the course of the year, but there were many that I wasn’t able to cover that were equally as deserving of a hallowed mention in this humble tome. A majority of the beers not covered were IPAs and Pale Ales since that tends to be where my taste buds point me first. Cali Green and Pussy Wagon from Brash Brewing are always at the top of my list. Mini Boss from Eureka Heights, Art Car from Saint Arnold and Lame Duck from 11 Below have been go-to beers, as well. I’ve also been known to drink plenty of less hop-forward beers such as Nuke the Whales from Eureka Heights, Holler’s Shot Caller Barleywine and Vulgar
Display of Power from Brash. In fact, Houston has even had three breweries win medals at The Great American Beer Festival this year. For those who don’t know, GABF is the Academy Awards of the brewing world with less

red carpet fashion and lots more navy Dickies work shirts and khaki shorts. Thousands of breweries and beers show up every year, but only a small fraction of those are awarded medals. Holler Brewing won a bronze with their Holler ESB. Saint Arnold won two bronzes and a gold with Weedwhacker,
Amber Ale and Pumpkinator, respectively. And finally, Eureka Heights won a gold with Buckle Bunny. A big congrats goes out to all the staff at these breweries for their achievements! All in all, it has been a great year for Houston beer; with too many new releases to count, and even more ready for release in 2018. And you can rest assured that I’ll be waiting patiently to get a sample of each and pass the good word about brewery happenings - including some new openings. So stay tuned to Craft Chronicles
