  • Is Astrology the Next Cocktail Bar Trend?

    Is Astrology the Next Cocktail Bar Trend?

    We’ve all seen the infographics on social media—your zodiac sign as a snack, a sandwich, a cocktail. But while no one (yet) has designed a full restaurant around celestial matches, zodiac-themed cocktails are increasingly popular. From cameos on regular cocktail menus to being at the center concept of a bar, everyone’s suddenly interested in creating and sipping drinks fashioned around the sensibilities of Aries, Libra and Virgo. 

    Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know astrology has been a massive pop culture trend in recent years, encompassing everything from podcasts to dating. Sharing your Co-Star astrology profile is as common as exchanging phone numbers.

    It was only a matter of time until cocktails got in the mix. “This trend is trending, in my opinion, as a response to global upheaval and uncertainty,” says astrologer Danielle Mainas, the co-creator of the food-driven tarot deck Cacio e Pepe Tarot. “People turn to astrology for personalized guidance and self-understanding in confusing times. Similarly, in times of dysregulation, many people turn to alcohol and food as coping mechanisms for comfort and relief. Why not give the people a blended option?”

    Little Dipper, a self-described “immersive, astrology-themed bar,” opened in New York City in April 2024. Inside, under a digital display of a starry sky, patrons can order drinks categorized within the four elements: water, fire, air and earth, with each cocktail paraphrasing a zodiac sign. The Grounded cocktail, which refers to the sign of Taurus, features shiitake-infused mezcal and mushroom broth, symbolizing Taurus’ rooted, earthy, stable energy. Each cocktail on the menu is accompanied by a small blurb explaining the logic behind its creation.

    “Our team loves astrology and have a good understanding of it,” Little Dipper co-owner Bobby Papachryssanthou tells Observer. The staff asks guests for their signs, and also share theirs, recommending drinks accordingly.  For the first round, patrons are encouraged to try their “own” cocktail—that is, the drink associated with their sun sign, and for a second drink, a tipple that refers to their moon sign; the position of the moon in the zodiac at the time of a person’s birth.

    The cocktails were created with the help of Alyssa Sartor, a hospitality expert with a passion for astrology. Sartor helped connect the dots, consulting on the drinks’ ingredients and profiles based on her knowledge of mixology and astrology. The team also sought advice from astrologer friends and astrology books. 

    “We felt that a concept like this would be a great way to give our guests something personal that they can relate to,” says Papachryssanthou. “The time and effort that went into finding the right ingredients to each specific zodiac sign makes it an engaging experience, adding that level of personalization and immersive aspect.” Imagine, for example, a Pisces customer being offered the sturdy tequila and habanero-infused Magic cocktail not because they like tequila, but because they’re supposedly “strong and devoted,” Papachryssanthou points out. Needless to say, only the flattering, positive traits of each sign are amplified and played up in the ingredients list.

    Other bars across the U.S. have also been flirting with the zodiac concept. Service Bar in Washington, D.C.—one of the best bars in the country according to the World’s 50 Best—recently ran a limited-edition zodiac-themed offering. Even resorts want a piece of the trend—Under Canvas, dedicated to higher-end camping and glamping, recently launched a program pairing celestially-themed cocktails with stargazing

    The Alchemists’ Garden, a bar in Paso Robles, CA, recently added a monthly zodiac-themed drink to its already other-worldly menu, based on the astrological sign corresponding to each month, for which the team dug deep into the essence of astrology: our craving for meaning and a sense of direction. “One of the oldest methods of navigation was based upon the stars and their astrological positioning,” Tony Bennett, Alchemists’ Garden’s bar manager and owner, tells Observer. 

    To plan the monthly cocktail, Bennett refers to a chart he made featuring each sign’s characteristics, likes and dislikes. For Libra, a cocktail that ran from during the tail end of September and most of October, Bennet tapped into the fact that Libra coincides with the fall equinox, which meant paying homage to the last harvests of the summer as we move into the cooler months. The result contains vodka infused with dill seeds, herbal liquor and agave nectar. 

    The garnish, molecular air made of fresh rose petals and Italicus Bergamot, is a nod to Libra being an air sign. “The drink, like Libra’s symbol—the scale—is surprisingly balanced despite the complex nature of flavors contained within,” he says.

    Tiger and Peacock, located at The Memphian hotel in Memphis, TN, has had a detailed Signs of the Zodiac cocktail menu since opening in 2021. Food and beverage director Evan Potts also pulls inspiration from the signs’ key features. Sagittarius, for example, is known to be adventurous and curious; the bar’s way to embody these traits was to base a cocktail on Angostura bitters. “Most cocktails see a few drops of Angostura to accent a cocktail, while we choose to unleash the full flavor and incorporate an ounce into our drink. After rounding out with the Chinola and orgeat you have a bold and interesting cocktail, with flavors that develop and change as you explore,” Potts says.

    “Astrology and good energy from the stars is something we are all in need of, with the stresses of life and relationships,” says Papachryssanthou. “Tying great drinks to something that we believe is important to everyday life adds another level to the experience.” 

    But are these drinks just a gimmick? Like astrology itself, it’s all a matter of perspective. “I absolutely see the potential for zodiac-inspired cocktails to offer more than just a gimmick-y drinking experience,” says Mainas. “Astrology reflects the human experience, and when bars incorporate zodiac themes, they invite guests into a moment of ceremony and presence.” Cocktails that go beyond the visual do best, with ingredients that reflect the signs’ characteristics and general vibe—painting the dependable bartender inquiry, “What are you in the mood for?” in a completely new light.

  • Why Steve is closing Snappin’ Dogs after 17 years (and where you can still get some)

    Why Steve is closing Snappin’ Dogs after 17 years (and where you can still get some)

    It was almost as if there were clones of Steve Ballas working the Wednesday lunch shift at Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs. 

    The 70-year-old was everywhere — taking orders behind the counter, bussing tables from the packed dining room and exchanging pleasantries with longtime customers of his. But he won’t be keeping up this frenetic pace much longer.

    After nearly two decades slinging hot dogs alongside Colfax Avenue, Ballas is hanging up his tongs. On Saturday, Oct. 19, the iconic condiment-colored building will hot its last dog, the latest in a series of tough-to-swallow changes along the East Colfax corridor.

    “Things happen and it’s time to go out on top,” Ballas said.

    We sat down with Ballas in Steve’s bustling dining room. Wherever your eyes wander, there’s something to be seen, whether it’s newspaper clippings, signs explaining the choice of news channels being played on the two televisions, or the series of panels that tell the saga of Steve. (The first one says, “Genesis: 1958. Christmas Morning – Bridgeport Connecticut.”)

    The style, in a word, is maximalism. But for Ballas, the unifying theme is simple:a love of serving guests, and specifically serving them hot dogs.

    “The smile on someone’s face is all I need, really,” Ballas said. “I mean, that’s the joy of making other people happy with food, and that’s what’s been my success”

    Customers flocked to Steve’s to enjoy one final hot dog

    As soon as a banner announcing its closure went up outside Steve’s in late September, flocks of people started visiting the restaurant to say their final farewells. 

    The dining room was packed for lunch when we visited on Wednesday. Ballas described his at-times overwhelmingly large menu as “Americana” — there’s something for everyone. 

    There are the classics, like the Coney Island-style dog with chili and the Chicago Dog — but there are also dogs you’re unlikely to find anywhere else. The “Denver Dog” features bacon, chili and a sausage wrapped in a flour tortilla instead of the traditional bun. And if you’re feeling especially saucy, the “Chimi Dog” takes the Denver Dog and deep fries it like a chimichanga.

    “People would come because the kids wanted hot dogs and they didn’t have any. They came to my place,” Ballas said. “The kids love hot dogs and so do adults.”

    And judging by the makeup of the diners, he’s right. People from all corners of Denver were there — nurses, firefighters, cowboys, blue-collar office workers, remote-working parents with young children, all crammed into a redeveloped gas station.

    Kathy Valdez came to catch a bite and to say her goodbyes. She’s been going to Steve’s since it opened in the 2000s. 

    “The dogs are good. I mean, who doesn’t like a hot dog?” she said after placing an order. 

    As a New Yorker, Jan Renner holds hot dogs in high regard. And while she can’t get on a flight to the East Coast every week, she can make the drive to Steve’s. 

    “I like Steve’s as much as I used to like the other dogs in New York,” Renner said. 

    Miriam Fernandez has been a regular for the last 15 years. Now she brings her daughter with her to Steve’s. 

    She said that Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs has been a constant over the last two decades while Denver has radically changed.

    For Fernandez, Steve’s closure represents another period of change for the city. 

    “We have better museums. We have more interesting, exciting culinary restaurants and more people. I am a city person, so I love that,” Fernandez said. “But of course, you do see also the losses of this change that happens in any place that’s changing and growing.”

    Steve’s is closing amid great change along East Colfax

    Steve’s isn’t the only restaurant closing in the corridor. Just across the street, Fox Run Cafe, a popular breakfast restaurant, is closing shop. Next door, a rolled ice creamery abruptly shut its doors. Enzo’s End Pizzeria, the go-to for late-night pies at PS Lounge, closed this summer.

    Meanwhile, higher-end restaurants nearby appear to be thriving. Molotov Kitschen + Cocktails, a Russian restaurant a couple of blocks away, was named to The New York Times’ 2023 best restaurants list. Sắp Sửa, across from East High School, was a semifinalist in the Best New Restaurant category of the James Beard Awards.

    Ballas attributes that to a changing restaurant business model: Costs are higher, and customers are willing to pay more money for fancier food. 

    “Think about it,” he said. “People will pay $20 for a vodka drink, but will they pay $20 for a hot dog? No. So you’ve got to change what they’re willing to pay for, which is why I think it’s getting a little more upscale.”

    Kevin J. Beaty/Denverite

    But, even if Ballas was given a chance to do it all over again, he wouldn’t trade his hot dogs for anything.

    “I would just do the same thing, but I would’ve started younger,” he said.”

    Ballas may be entering semi-retirement, but his legacy is set to continue

    After Steve’s closes on Saturday, Ballas will be spending most of his time with his wife, who is in recovery from cancer. 

    “I’m a cancer survivor myself,” he said. “I want to get some of this weight off now that I have less stress in my life, and start walking around and doing some exercises and just kind of enjoying life a little.”

    Ballas already has a contingency plan if he gets bored. A former EMT and police officer, Ballas said he’s thinking about driving a van to take people who use wheelchairs to rehab and hospital facilities.

    While the Colfax location is closing, bits and pieces of Steve’s will carry on. 

    Travelers at Denver International Airport can still grab Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs in Terminal B for another two years, until its lease ends.

    What’s next for the building?

    Meanwhile, hot dogs may still be served by the future tenants of Steve’s building — just not by Ballas. 

    Mama Jo’s Biscuits & BBQ, a Carolina-style BBQ joint owned by husband-and-wife duo Ben and Jodi Polson, is set to take over the space. In addition to smoked meats served with homemade biscuits, Ballas said they plan to keep some of Steve’s hot dogs and burgers on the menu. 

    “They understand my legacy and they want to keep that going and build on their own legacy for this space that’s been here on Colfax,” Ballas said.

  • Chicago’s Best Restaurants to Celebrate Diwali

    Chicago’s Best Restaurants to Celebrate Diwali

    Diwali is a South Asian holiday with numerous food traditions, a time to celebrate for Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains. However, the festival of lights has become a global phenomenon, observed in many countries. Last year, New York declared it a state holiday, giving public school students a day off starting in 2024.

    This year, Diwali — also known as Divali or Deepavali — starts on Thursday, October 31.

    Awareness of the holiday has crossed over to Chicago’s South Asian restaurants, providing a way for folks of all backgrounds to celebrate. Below are some of the more notable Diwali menus and events held at Chicago restaurants. Eater Chicago also has a South Asian restaurant guide for more ways to celebrate.

    Basant, Wednesday, October 23 through November 3.

    This North Center restaurant has pushed the boundaries for what to expect from an Indian restaurant not located along Devon or in downtown Chicago. Neighborhood Indian restaurants often trot out the same generic Northern Indian menus, but not Basant.

    For two weeks, Basant is offering a special a la carte menu and will decorate its space with diyas painted by workers, and a hand-drawn rangoli. The menu includes raj kachori chaat; mango duck kebabs with spicy white sauce & chili crisps; “mini-thali” with raswale alu, masala puri, halwa, and boondi raita; seafood khichdi; and lamb shank dum biryani. Reservations are available via OpenTable.

    Sifr, Sunday, November 3

    While not serving traditional Indian food, Sifr, a Middle Eastern restaurant boosts a menu from James Beard nominated Sujan Sarkar and culinary director Sahil Sethi. Sarkar’s Indienne is Chicago’s only Michelin-starred Indian restaurant.

    Sifr’s holiday offerings consist of a four-course prix fixe. Items include dahi bhalla papdi chaat, papad with pindi chloe, baigan bharta, tamatar ki chaat, sliced onion, aloo tuk, and a mint and cilantro chutney. Entrees include paneer pasanda with lababdar gravy, jackfruit kofta with kadai gravy, butter chicken, or goat do pyaza. Reservations and $75 tickets are available on OpenTable. Sifr is also offering reservations upstairs on its enclosed patio.

    Patel Brothers

    Patel Brothers, the iconic South Asian supermarket chain, launched its Patel’s Fresh Kitchen about three years ago, coinciding with the opening of its new store along Devon. The goal was to serve younger customers who don’t know how to cook but still wanted a taste of home. Fresh Kitchen is 100 percent vegetarian, specializing in flatbreads — there are 20 different types of paratha. For folks throwing Diwali parties at home, they can email the bakery manager at their local Patel Brothers — find the emails on the chain’s website — to order parathas, samosas, and more.

    Umami From Scratch, October 23 to 31 for pickups.

    Divs Ray has been running Umami From Scratch, a micro bakery that takes online orders, since 2020. Her snacks are creative, blending traditions from different regions together with modern baking techniques. She’s launched a special Diwali menu with specials like rose-lime mooncakes, mithai canele, muhallahbiah with poached red fruits and kataifi, and chaat masala sweet potato focaccia. Order online and pick up October 23 to 31.

    Rotisserie chicken chain St-Hubert is cutting prices across its menu, a move that suggests a possible inflection point for Canadian consumers worn down by the increasing cost of dining out.

    The chain, headquartered in Quebec and with over 120 restaurants there and in Ontario and New Brunswick, dropped prices on 100 menu items, and says it would freeze prices on all of its main courses.

    “It is a good time to be playing the price game and trying to take share,” said strategy consultant Mark Satov in an email to Yahoo Finance Canada. “When it seems like everyone else continues to drive price and people at all income levels are frustrated with how much prices keep going up, up, up, it is a good strategy to be a price player or position yourself as one.”

    The chain’s press release makes it clear that consumers’ frustration with prices going up is its main motivator: the menu update is “aimed at helping customers navigate the current economic challenges,” says the release, which also name-checks “shrinkflation,” promising quantity and quality will not change.

    “It’s important that all our customers feel like they’re getting real value for their money,” Richard Scofield, president of Groupe St-Hubert, said in the release.

    Bruce Winder, a retail analyst, says rising prices have caused many consumers to increasingly think twice about dining out, a trend likely very apparent to certain sectors of the industry.

    “I think that’s hurting the sit-down business, the in-restaurant dining business a little bit,” he said. “I think they’ve probably seen a significant volume drop in terms of the number of folks coming in, and they realize they have to sharpen their pencil to get them back into the restaurants again.”

    Winder says he isn’t aware of other chains in the sit-down space making similar moves so far. But he adds the current economic context meant that for some businesses, “this space is going to be really tough.”

    “They may have to close restaurants, they may have to change their business model to try to do more takeout, or even shrink their dining locations.”

    The struggles aren’t unique to the sit-down space, with Canadian fast-food outlets competing for budget-conscious customers with value-menu discounts (mirroring value-menu price wars in the U.S.). Joshua Kobza, CEO of Restaurant Brands International, whose brands include Tim Hortons and Burger King, told investors “the environment has been tough” in an August earnings call.

    Statistics Canada’s latest inflation figures, released Tuesday, were cooler than analysts had expected, but the government agency points out that “price levels remain elevated.” The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is up 12.7 per cent from September 2021. Over that same three-year period, CPI for food purchased from table-service restaurants rose 17.2 per cent. For fast-food restaurants, the rise since 2021 was 19.6 per cent.

    That significant jump in prices is exacerbated by the question of tipping, Winder notes. “When you go to a fast-food joint, there really isn’t a tip, right?” he said. “No, you buy it, you pay the tax, you sit down.”

    At a sit-down restaurant, “you feel obliged to give at least, you know, a 15 per cent tip,” he said. “And you can add on top of that, the recent tip culture, where a lot of restaurants are trying to push, you know, 18 or 20 per cent. You know, that’s something that crosses consumers’ minds.”

    The restaurant industry is subject to a pattern similar to that being experienced by retail, Winder says, where consumers are gravitating either to high-end or discount.

    “There’s been a significant polarization of incomes and equality, and that polarization has led to the middle class shrinking significantly,” he said. “And because of that, you’ve seen a shrinking of middle retail, if you will, and middle restaurants.”

    In the face of this, a restaurant chain has a few options beyond St-Hubert’s move to lean into a cheaper menu without compromising its overall experience.

    Going more upscale is potentially a more difficult strategy “because your brand’s already synonymous with the middle,” Winder says. Alternatively, he says, a restaurant could try to eliminate sit-down space and reinvent itself primarily as a take-out restaurant, reducing costs for labour, rent, fixtures. This was the route taken by Pizza Hut over a decade ago, Winder notes.

    “They had all dine-in, everything was sit-down. Well, they’ve morphed now. There’s no sit-down. It’s all pick-up, and there isn’t much of a dining room in any Pizza Hut. Now, even just to sit down on stools, it’s mostly gone.

    “That might be a forerunner for how some other restaurants have to change.”

  • Canada’s annual inflation fell to 1.6% in September – MoneySense

    Canada’s annual inflation fell to 1.6% in September – MoneySense

    The agency said Tuesday its consumer price index for September was up 1.6% from a year ago compared with a year-over-year increase of 2% in August.

    It was the slowest annual pace for inflation since February 2021 when it was 1.1%.

    Gasoline prices in September fell 10.7% compared with a year earlier. Excluding gasoline, the annual pace of inflation was 2.2% in September.

    Meanwhile, rent prices increased at a slower pace in the month but remained elevated as they rose 8.2% compared with a year ago following a year-over-year gain of 8.9% in August.

    Grocery prices increased 2.4%, rising faster than overall inflation

    Statistics Canada said prices for food purchased from stores rose faster than overall inflation as they increased 2.4% in September, the same rate as in August. Prices for fresh or frozen beef gained 9.2%, while edible fats and oils rose 7.8% and eggs increased 5%.

    Prices for food purchased from restaurants rose 3.5% compared with 3.4% in August.

    The inflation report is the last major piece of economic data before the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decision on Oct. 23.

    The central bank, which has a target of 2% for inflation, has cut its key interest rate three times so far this year to bring it to 4.25%.

  • Trump or Harris? Here are the 2024 stakes for airlines, banks, EVs, health care and more

    Trump or Harris? Here are the 2024 stakes for airlines, banks, EVs, health care and more

    Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris face off in the ABC presidential debate on Sept. 10, 2024.

    Getty Images

    With the U.S. election less than a month away, the country and its corporations are staring down two drastically different options.

    For airlines, banks, electric vehicle makers, health-care companies, media firms, restaurants and tech giants, the outcome of the presidential contest could result in stark differences in the rules they’ll face, the mergers they’ll be allowed to pursue, and the taxes they’ll pay.

    During his last time in power, former President Donald Trump slashed the corporate tax rate, imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, and sought to cut regulation and red tape and discourage immigration, ideas he’s expected to push again if he wins a second term.

    In contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris has endorsed hiking the tax rate on corporations to 28% from the 21% rate enacted under Trump, a move that would require congressional approval. Most business executives expect Harris to broadly continue President Joe Biden‘s policies, including his war on so-called junk fees across industries.

    Personnel is policy, as the saying goes, so the ramifications of the presidential race won’t become clear until the winner begins appointments for as many as a dozen key bodies, including the Treasury, Justice Department, Federal Trade Commission, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

    CNBC examined the stakes of the 2024 presidential election for some of corporate America’s biggest sectors. Here’s what a Harris or Trump administration could mean for business:

    Airlines

    The result of the presidential election could affect everything from what airlines owe consumers for flight disruptions to how much it costs to build an aircraft in the United States.

    The Biden Department of Transportation, led by Secretary Pete Buttigieg, has taken a hard line on filling what it considers to be holes in air traveler protections. It has established or proposed new rules on issues including refunds for cancellations, family seating and service fee disclosures, a measure airlines have challenged in court.

    “Who’s in that DOT seat matters,” said Jonathan Kletzel, who heads the travel, transportation and logistics practice at PwC.

    The current Democratic administration has also fought industry consolidation, winning two antitrust lawsuits that blocked a partnership between American Airlines and JetBlue Airways in the Northeast and JetBlue’s now-scuttled plan to buy budget carrier Spirit Airlines.

    The previous Trump administration didn’t pursue those types of consumer protections. Industry members say that under Trump, they would expect a more favorable environment for mergers, though four airlines already control more than three-quarters of the U.S. market.

    On the aerospace side, Boeing and the hundreds of suppliers that support it are seeking stability more than anything else.

    Trump has said on the campaign trail that he supports additional tariffs of 10% or 20% and higher duties on goods from China. That could drive up the cost of producing aircraft and other components for aerospace companies, just as a labor and skills shortage after the pandemic drives up expenses.

    Tariffs could also challenge the industry, if they spark retaliatory taxes or trade barriers to China and other countries, which are major buyers of aircraft from Boeing, a top U.S. exporter.

    — Leslie Josephs

    Banks

    Big banks such as JPMorgan Chase faced an onslaught of new rules this year as Biden appointees pursued the most significant slate of regulations since the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.

    Those efforts threaten tens of billions of dollars in industry revenue by slashing fees that banks impose on credit cards and overdrafts and radically revising the capital and risk framework they operate in. The fate of all of those measures is at risk if Trump is elected.

    Trump is expected to nominate appointees for key financial regulators, including the CFPB, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation that could result in a weakening or killing off completely of the myriad rules in play.

    “The Biden administration’s regulatory agenda across sectors has been very ambitious, especially in finance, and large swaths of it stand to be rolled back by Trump appointees if he wins,” said Tobin Marcus, head of U.S. policy at Wolfe Research.

    Bank CEOs and consultants say it would be a relief if aspects of the Biden era — an aggressive CFPB, regulators who discouraged most mergers and elongated times for deal approvals — were dialed back.

    “It certainly helps if the president is Republican, and the odds tilt more favorably for the industry if it’s a Republican sweep” in Congress, said the CEO of a bank with nearly $100 billion in assets who declined to be identified speaking about regulators.

    Still, some observers point out that Trump 2.0 might not be as friendly to the industry as his first time in office.

    Trump’s vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance, of Ohio, has often criticized Wall Street banks, and Trump last month began pushing an idea to cap credit card interest rates at 10%, a move that if enacted would have seismic implications for the industry.

    Bankers also say that Harris won’t necessarily cater to traditional Democratic Party ideas that have made life tougher for banks. Unless Democrats seize both chambers of Congress as well as the presidency, it may be difficult to get agency heads approved if they’re considered partisan picks, experts note.

    “I would not write off the vice president as someone who’s automatically going to go more progressive,” said Lindsey Johnson, head of the Consumer Bankers Association, a trade group for big U.S. retail banks.

    EVs

    Electric vehicles have become a polarizing issue between Democrats and Republicans, especially in swing states such as Michigan that rely on the auto industry. There could be major changes in regulations and incentives for EVs if Trump regains power, a fact that’s placed the industry in a temporary limbo.

    “Depending on the election in the U.S., we may have mandates; we may not,” Volkswagen Group of America CEO Pablo Di Si said Sept. 24 during an Automotive News conference. “Am I going to make any decisions on future investments right now? Obviously not. We’re waiting to see.”

    Republicans, led by Trump, have largely condemned EVs, claiming they are being forced upon consumers and that they will ruin the U.S. automotive industry. Trump has vowed to roll back or eliminate many vehicle emissions standards under the Environmental Protection Agency and incentives to promote production and adoption of the vehicles.

    If elected, he’s also expected to renew a battle with California and other states who set their own vehicle emissions standards.

    “In a Republican win … We see higher variance and more potential for change,” UBS analyst Joseph Spak said in a Sept. 18 investor note.

    In contrast, Democrats, including Harris, have historically supported EVs and incentives such as those under the Biden administration’s signature Inflation Reduction Act.

    Harris hasn’t been as vocal a supporter of EVs lately amid slower-than-expected consumer adoption of the vehicles and consumer pushback. She has said she does not support an EV mandate such as the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act of 2019, which she cosponsored during her time as a senator, that would have required automakers to sell only electrified vehicles by 2040. Still, auto industry executives and officials expect a Harris presidency would be largely a continuation, though not a copy, of the past four years of Biden’s EV policy.

    They expect some potential leniency on federal fuel economy regulations but minimal changes to the billions of dollars in incentives under the IRA.

    — Mike Wayland

    Health care

    Both Harris and Trump have called for sweeping changes to the costly, complicated and entrenched U.S. health-care system of doctors, insurers, drug manufacturers and middlemen, which costs the nation more than $4 trillion a year.

    Despite spending more on health care than any other wealthy country, the U.S. has the lowest life expectancy at birth, the highest rate of people with multiple chronic diseases and the highest maternal and infant death rates, according to the Commonwealth Fund, an independent research group.

    Meanwhile, roughly half of American adults say it is difficult to afford health-care costs, which can drive some into debt or lead them to put off necessary care, according to a May poll conducted by health policy research organization KFF. 

    Both Harris and Trump have taken aim at the pharmaceutical industry and proposed efforts to lower prescription drug prices in the U.S., which are nearly three times higher than those seen in other countries. 

    But many of Trump’s efforts to lower costs have been temporary or not immediately effective, health policy experts said. Meanwhile, Harris, if elected, can build on existing efforts of the Biden administration to deliver savings to more patients, they said.

    Harris specifically plans to expand certain provisions of the IRA, part of which aims to lower health-care costs for seniors enrolled in Medicare. Harris cast the tie-breaking Senate vote to pass the law in 2022. 

    Her campaign says she plans to extend two provisions to all Americans, not just seniors: a $2,000 annual cap on out-of-pocket drug spending and a $35 limit on monthly insulin costs. 

    Harris also intends to accelerate and expand a provision allowing Medicare to directly negotiate drug prices with manufacturers for the first time. Drugmakers fiercely oppose those price talks, with some challenging the effort’s constitutionality in court. 

    Trump hasn’t publicly indicated what he intends to do about IRA provisions.

    Some of Trump’s prior efforts to lower drug prices “didn’t really come into fruition” during his presidency, according to Dr. Mariana Socal, a professor of health policy and management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

    For example, he planned to use executive action to have Medicare pay no more than the lowest price that select other developed countries pay for drugs, a proposal that was blocked by court action and later rescinded. 

    Trump also led multiple efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, including its expansion of Medicaid to low-income adults. In a campaign video in April, Trump said he was not running on terminating the ACA and would rather make it “much, much better and far less money,” though he has provided no specific plans. 

    He reiterated his belief that the ACA was “lousy health care” during his Sept. 10 debate with Harris. But when asked he did not offer a replacement proposal, saying only that he has “concepts of a plan.”

    Media

    Top of mind for media executives is mergers and the path, or lack thereof, to push them through.

    The media industry’s state of turmoil — shrinking audiences for traditional pay TV, the slowdown in advertising, and the rise of streaming and challenges in making it profitable — means its companies are often mentioned in discussions of acquisitions and consolidation.

    While a merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media is set to move forward, with plans to close in the first half of 2025, many in media have said the Biden administration has broadly chilled deal-making.

    “We just need an opportunity for deregulation, so companies can consolidate and do what we need to do even better,” Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said in July at Allen & Co.’s annual Sun Valley conference.

    Media mogul John Malone recently told MoffettNathanson analysts that some deals are a nonstarter with this current Justice Department, including mergers between companies in the telecommunications and cable broadband space.

    Still, it’s unclear how the regulatory environment could or would change depending on which party is in office. Disney was allowed to acquire Fox Corp.’s assets when Trump was in office, but his administration sued to block AT&T’s merger with Time Warner. Meanwhile, under Biden’s presidency, a federal judge blocked the sale of Simon & Schuster to Penguin Random House, but Amazon’s acquisition of MGM was approved. 

    “My sense is, regardless of the election outcome, we are likely to remain in a similar tighter regulatory environment when looking at media industry dealmaking,” said Marc DeBevoise, CEO and board director of Brightcove, a streaming technology company.

    When major media, and even tech, assets change hands, it could also mean increased scrutiny on those in control and whether it creates bias on the platforms.

    “Overall, the government and FCC have always been most concerned with having a diversity of voices,” said Jonathan Miller, chief executive of Integrated Media, which specializes in digital media investment.
    “But then [Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter] happened, and it’s clearly showing you can skew a platform to not just what the business needs, but to maybe your personal approach and whims,” he said.

    Since Musk acquired the social media platform in 2022, changing its name to X, he has implemented sweeping changes including cutting staff and giving “amnesty” to previously suspended accounts, including Trump’s, which had been suspended following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Musk has also faced widespread criticism from civil rights groups for the amplification of bigotry on the platform.

    Musk has publicly endorsed Trump, and was recently on the campaign trail with the former president. “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA, I’m Dark MAGA,” Musk said at a recent event. The billionaire has raised funds for Republican causes, and Trump has suggested Musk could eventually play a role in his administration if the Republican candidate were to be reelected.

    During his first term, Trump took a particularly hard stance against journalists, and pursued investigations into leaks from his administration to news organizations. Under Biden, the White House has been notably more amenable to journalists. 

    Also top of mind for media executives — and government officials — is TikTok.

    Lawmakers have argued that TikTok’s Chinese ownership could be a national security risk.

    Earlier this year, Biden signed legislation that gives Chinese parent ByteDance until January to find a new owner for the platform or face a U.S. ban. TikTok has said the bill, the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which passed with bipartisan support, violates the First Amendment. The platform has sued the government to stop a potential ban.

    While Trump was in office, he attempted to ban TikTok through an executive order, but the effort failed. However, he has more recently switched to supporting the platform, arguing that without it there’s less competition against Meta’s Facebook and other social media.

    Restaurants

    Both Trump and Harris have endorsed plans to end taxes on restaurant workers’ tips, although how they would do so is likely to differ.

    The food service and restaurant industry is the nation’s second-largest private-sector employer, with 15.5 million jobs, according to the National Restaurant Association. Roughly 2.2 million of those employees are tipped servers and bartenders, who could end up with more money in their pockets if their tips are no longer taxed.

    Trump’s campaign hasn’t given much detail on how his administration would eliminate taxes on tips, but tax experts have warned that it could turn into a loophole for high earners. Claims from the Trump campaign that the Republican candidate is pro-labor have clashed with his record of appointing leaders to the National Labor Relations Board who have rolled back worker protections.

    Meanwhile, Harris has said she’d only exempt workers who make $75,000 or less from paying income tax on their tips, but the money would still be subject to taxes toward Social Security and Medicare, the Washington Post previously reported.

    In keeping with the campaign’s more labor-friendly approach, Harris is also pledging to eliminate the tip credit: In 37 states, employers only have to pay tipped workers the minimum wage as long as that hourly wage and tips add up to the area’s pay floor. Since 1991, the federal pay floor for tipped wages has been stuck at $2.13.

    “In the short term, if [restaurants] have to pay higher wages to their waiters, they’re going to have to raise menu prices, which is going to lower demand,” said Michael Lynn, a tipping expert and Cornell University professor.

    Tech

    Whichever candidate comes out ahead in November will have to grapple with the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence sector.

    Generative AI is the biggest story in tech since the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022. It presents a conundrum for regulators, because it allows consumers to easily create text and images from simple queries, creating privacy and safety concerns.

    Harris has said she and Biden “reject the false choice that suggests we can either protect the public or advance innovation.” Last year, the White House issued an executive order that led to the formation of the Commerce Department’s U.S. AI Safety Institute, which is evaluating AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic.

    Trump has committed to repealing the executive order.

    A second Trump administration might also attempt to challenge a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that requires companies to disclose cybersecurity incidents. The White House said in January that more transparency “will incentivize corporate executives to invest in cybersecurity and cyber risk management.”

    Trump’s running mate, Vance, co-sponsored a bill designed to end the rule. Andrew Garbarino, the House Republican who introduced an identical bill, has said the SEC rule increases cybersecurity risk and overlaps with existing law on incident reporting.

    Also at stake in the election is the fate of dealmaking for tech investors and executives.

    With Lina Khan helming the FTC, the top tech companies have been largely thwarted from making big acquisitions, though the Justice Department and European regulators have also created hurdles.

    Tech transaction volume peaked at $1.5 trillion in 2021, then plummeted to $544 billion last year and $465 billion in 2024 as of September, according to Dealogic.

    Many in the tech industry are critical of Khan and want her to be replaced should Harris win in November. Meanwhile, Vance, who worked in venture capital before entering politics, said as recently as February — before he was chosen as Trump’s running mate — that Khan was “doing a pretty good job.”

    Khan, whom Biden nominated in 2021, has challenged Amazon and Meta on antitrust grounds and has said the FTC will investigate AI investments at Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft.

    Orlando’s Desmond Meade is one of this year’s ‘genius grant’ recipients.

    Millions of people in the United States each year leave jail or prison to return to their communities. They often face barriers to successful re-entry.

    One of those challenges, directly tied to having a record, is finding gainful employment. People who are justice-impacted — that is, they have a criminal record or a history of incarceration — have a significantly harder time getting a steady, good job compared to the general population. And without that kind of opportunity to reintegrate and rebuild their lives, people are more likely to reoffend and get caught up again in the unforgiving cycle of the justice system.

    Reform activists in Florida like Desmond Meade, president of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and a returning citizen himself, have seen this play out in communities.

    Before becoming a nationally renowned criminal justice and voting rights activist, Meade, 57, struggled with drug misuse, thoughts of suicide and homelessness. He came from a working-class family, grew up in Miami, and later joined the U.S. Army. While stationed in Hawaii, a friend introduced him to cocaine, and he fell into a downward spiral from there. With the right help, however, he was able to overcome these obstacles in his own life, following multiple stints in jail and then prison.

    It was a process. It took time. He went to college, graduated with honors, studied law, and eventually became an advocate for others with a record.

    And that continues today. On Thursday, the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition kicked off its new campaign, dubbed “Let My People Work.” Meade said the campaign aims to raise awareness of the barriers that formerly incarcerated people face in securing a job — and advance reform efforts to break them down.

    As someone who has worked with politicians on both sides of the aisle in Florida to reach bipartisan consensus on these issues, he said the goal is to advance toward a Florida that is brighter and more prosperous for everyone, not just those directly affected by incarceration.

    “If we, as returning citizens, cannot get great jobs or earning opportunities, right, we can’t pay our fair share of taxes,” Meade explained to Orlando Weekly, during a phone call after the campaign’s launch in South Florida. “If we’re facing barriers to housing, we can’t contribute to the local economy.”

    Lacking job opportunities for returning citizens, he said, isn’t just a problem for them and their own families. “It’s the entire state. Communities are losing out.”

    To explain, Meade pointed to data on recidivism and its costs. According to the nonprofit Prison to Employment Connection, formerly imprisoned people who maintain employment for one year after their release are more than three times less likely to reoffend compared to those who don’t manage to find or keep a job. And reincarcerating people — locking them up, instead of giving them the resources they need to prosper — isn’t cheap.

    A 2023 report from the Florida Policy Institute found that out of the 29,242 people who were released by the Florida Department of Corrections in the 2018-2019 fiscal year, 22 percent returned to prison within three years. The estimated cost to the state for this? One hundred and eighty-five million dollars.

    “The Let My People Work campaign, you know, it gives us opportunity to shed light just not only on the returning citizen and the challenges that they face to reentry,” Meade told Orlando Weekly, “but also to shed light on ourselves and our communities, and shed light on potential that we have to actually be major contributes to Florida’s economy.”

    The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition launches its ‘Let My People Work’ campaign in South Florida.

    Advocating for more gainful job opportunities for folks with a record might also benefit those in the system who struggle with the more invisible monsters: addiction, the psychological toll of incarceration and a lack of opportunity to help them find a way forward on the outside.

    Dr. Thomas Hall, a local substance use treatment provider and director of Orange County’s Office for a Drug-Free Community, told Orlando Weekly earlier this year that people recently released from the Orange County jail make up a shocking 1 in 5 drug overdose deaths that occur in the county. In 2023, more than 400 people in Orange County lost their lives to overdose, with most involving illicit forms of the synthetic opioid fentanyl. The county has launched efforts to help this population, but it’s a work in progress.

    Lack of healthcare, decreased drug tolerance and social stigma all can contribute to a formerly incarcerated person’s risk for overdose, if they have a history of drug misuse and they return to old habits on the outside. But so can unemployment, or a lack of social welfare programs to help job seekers find steady work and safe housing after lockup.

    Florida prison reform efforts

    Florida law doesn’t make it easy. While the DeSantis administration is perfectly fine sending unpaid incarcerated workers to clean up hurricane damage, state law maintains literally hundreds of restrictions on job licensing and employment opportunities for workers with a criminal record. Some are specific to certain offenses, others broadly apply to felony convictions.

    Reducing or getting rid of some of these barriers is one of the top reform efforts that the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, along with other reform advocates across the political spectrum, has been pushing to advance. The group estimates that job licensing restrictions for those with a criminal record cost Florida $11.6 billion per year and over 129,000 jobs, at a time when business lobbying groups are pitching child labor reforms to address labor shortages.

    The Institute for Justice, a libertarian think tank, ranked the Sunshine State as the fifth “most burdensome” in the country in 2022 for its occupational licensing laws, which affect workers — disproportionately those with felony convictions — in a wide range of industries.

    Earlier this year, Florida lawmakers actually sought to address this, in an atypical bipartisan fashion. The state Legislature approved HB 133, legislation that sought to, at the very least, make it a bit easier for job seekers with criminal records to apply for a barber or cosmetologist license. Supporters, including the FRRC, saw it as a common-sense strategy to help break down barriers for people who are trying to successfully reintegrate into society, make a living and contribute to their communities.

    The bill earned unanimous support from a GOP-dominated state Legislature that rarely agrees on anything of substance these days. Despite the show of support, however, it was ultimately vetoed by Gov. DeSantis, and thus scrapped. Also vetoed was another bill that aimed to help remove barriers to higher education for incarcerated people, by preventing a person’s incarceration from affecting their residency status for tuition purposes.

    DeSantis, in his veto message, framed it as an effort to “reward criminal activity.”

    Meade, however, called bullshit (our term, not his). “To get Democrats and Republicans to agree on something like this is nothing short of a miracle,” he told Orlando Weekly. “It wasn’t about rewarding anyone, right? It was actually about creating opportunities for the state of Florida to thrive even more economically.”

    According to the Vera Institute, incarcerated people who participate in a college or university program are 48 percent less likely to return to prison than those who do not. Yet, people caught up in the correctional system are generally less likely to have completed high school, all in all, and are much less likely to have a post-secondary degree.

    Federal officials, beyond the Sunshine State, have recognized the problem this poses too, and the importance of solutions. Last year, for the first time in nearly 30 years, incarcerated people regained the ability to receive federal financial aid for higher education. The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, signed into law by President Bill Clinton, explicitly excluded people in prison from receiving federal Pell Grant aid for higher education.

    In 2015, the Obama-Biden administration launched a limited “second chance” pilot program of sorts that restored Pell Grant eligibility at certain universities for imprisoned people, and five years later, Congress passed the FAFSA Simplification Act.

    That law, effective last July, fully lifted the ban on Pell Grant eligibility for those who are incarcerated, provided they’re enrolled in an eligible prison education program.

    Not just jobs, period, but good jobs

    Meade said that reforms to occupational licensing restrictions in Florida and educational barriers for people with a criminal record are the top issues the FRRC is advocating for on a state-level.

    Having a wider range of opportunities, rather than being pigeonholed and automatically eliminated from consideration, can give people a better chance at securing a good job — not just a job, period. According to the Prison Policy Institute, formerly incarcerated people who are employed generally report lower earnings, compared to the general population, even years after release. So the difference is important, especially if you’re looking at risk factors for recidivism.

    Some states (not Florida) and local governments have enacted “ban the box” policies to help eliminate discrimination based on criminal history in the hiring process, or have set up workforce development initiatives. Union apprenticeship programs can also offer a low-barrier-to-entry way for people to gain skills in the trades and make a decent living to support their families, regardless of their history.

    Others have pursued different, controversial strategies to increase job opportunities. In 2021, former State Sen. Jeff Brandes — a Republican known for championing justice reforms in the state Legislature — actually pitched the idea of specifically carving out workers in prison, workers with felony convictions and other “hard to hire” employees from Florida’s minimum wage. The pitch came directly after Florida voters the previous year overwhelmingly voted in support of gradually raising Florida’s minimum wage from a mere $8.56 an hour in 2020 to $15 by Sept. 30, 2026. Currently, the minimum wage for non-tipped workers is $13.

    Brandes, a policy wonk from the St. Petersburg area, argued at the time that implementing a lower “training wage” for these “hard to hire” workers would increase job opportunities by incentivizing employers to hire workers they’d legally be allowed to pay less than someone else they hired for the same work.

    Meade, who disapproved of the idea when it was first introduced, isn’t a fan of this strategy. “I don’t think that you incentivize businesses by reducing the earning potential of returning citizens,” he said. By doing that, “you reduce the opportunity for a person to be able to buy a home and even provide for their family. Folks are already struggling. Why make it even more difficult for people who are trying to successfully reintegrate?”

    The idea was proved massively unpopular, or at the very least a no-go, even among Brandes’ GOP colleagues. It died without receiving a single legislative hearing, and Brandes left office shortly after due to term limits.

    The FRRC’s new second chance campaign, raising awareness of the need to provide job opportunities for those with a record, officially launched in South Florida on Thursday in partnership with OIC South Florida. The plan is to take it statewide.

    “We’re going to treat this campaign the same way we did Amendment 4,” Meade explained, referring to the 2018 ballot initiative campaign his organization led to restore the voting rights of 1.4 million Floridians with felony convictions.

    “City by city, you know, business by business, coffee shop by coffee shop — it’s really talking to people about the benefits of supporting efforts to expand opportunities to people who’ve been impacted by the justice system, and how it’s a win-win for Florida.”

  • Ultreia, Split Lip chef opening “sleazy French street food” concept

    Ultreia, Split Lip chef opening “sleazy French street food” concept

    Escargot wontons would get anyone’s attention. But French onion soup nachos seals the deal.

    Adam Branz, the chef behind Ultreia and Split Lip: An Eat Place, is introducing a new concept at Dewey Beer Co.’s Denver taproom. The Delaware-based brewery has been running Mockery Brewing’s former space in the River North Art District since January.

    The kitchen, called Cul-de-Sac, will feature what Branz calls “sleazy French street food” served out of a food trailer. In addition to the wontons and nachos, the menu will eventually include other tantalizingly off-centered plates like coq au vin nuggets-on-a-stick, duck confit quesadillas made with “a stinky French cheese,” and even slow-poached frog’s legs served with clarified butter, like a lobster roll.

    “My first chef job was at Bistro Vendome, so I have a special place in my heart for French food — and Parisian food in particular,” said Branz, who attended Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts before moving to Denver and working his way up through the restaurant group founded by Jenn Jasinski and Beth Gruitch, which included Bistro Vendome, Ultreia and Rioja.

    But for Cul-de-Sac, he wanted to approach French food in the same way he does with the menu at Split Lip, which specializes in flavor-packed, cheffed-up versions of casual regional dishes like Nashville hot chicken, Oklahoma-style fried onion burgers, and Buffalo wings.

    “The Split lip lens is playful, raw and even abrasive at times,” he said.

    That means treating fun food with the extreme attention to detail — timing, balance, degrees of heat — that classically trained chefs use in more formal settings.

    For the wontons, for example, Branz and his team braise the snails low and slow to bring out the aromatics, pre-cooking them in a classic French butter sauce. Then they are cooled down and folded into the wontons. (Before landing on wontons as the vehicle for the escargot, Branz experimented with jalapeno poppers and ravioli.) “But the wontons came out incredible.”

  • Detroit City Beef is serving sandwiches by chef Matty Matheson from ‘The Bear’

    Detroit City Beef is serving sandwiches by chef Matty Matheson from ‘The Bear’

    Chef Matty Matheson — perhaps better known to some from his acting role in the FX series The Bear — is bringing a taste of Chicago to Detroit.

    The acclaimed chef (who also serves as executive producer of the hit TV show) has revamped the menu for Detroit City Beef, the food cart located outside the Skip in the Belt alley in Detroit.

    Fittingly, Detroit City Beef will serve Matheson’s take on the hot Italian beef sandwich featured in the show, in addition to a vegetarian fried eggplant sandwich version.

    The Detroit City Beef cart is actually an old Italian beef and sausage cart from Chicago that was brought to Detroit and refurbished.

    “Matty’s connection to Italian beef runs deep, as well, with his involvement in The Bear bringing this Chicago staple into the spotlight,” the Skip says in a press release. “Guests can expect the same unpretentious, high-quality approach that defines Matty’s style — simple, bold flavors executed with precision by Standby’s kitchen team. The cart will offer the perfect food pairing with the laid-back, easy-going vibe of The Skip. It’s the ideal stop before or after a game or a show, for an eat-with-your-hands, flavorful experience.”

    The Italian beef sandwich includes braised chuck simmered in beef jus served with mild or hot giardiniera relish on a soft Italian roll (it comes dipped), while the “Eggplant Sammy” features fried eggplant, red sauce, and mozzarella available in mild or sweet versions.

    A native Canadian who cut his teeth in Toronto’s dining scene, Matheson joined the Skip’s sister bar Standby as a partner earlier this summer.

    The new menu will be available at Detroit City Beef starting on Sunday, Oct. 6.

    The Skip is located at 1234 Library St., Detroit.

  • Limited-time Detroit Coney Chicago-style pizza at Uno Pizzeria supports local foster children

    Limited-time Detroit Coney Chicago-style pizza at Uno Pizzeria supports local foster children

    To celebrate National Pizza Month in October, Uno Pizzeria & Grill in Farmington Hills is serving up a Detroit Coney Chicago-style pizza, a unique creation combining Detroit’s beloved coney dog and Uno’s famous Chicago deep-dish pizza.

    A portion of all proceeds from the sale of the limited-edition delicacy will be donated to the Oakland County Foster Closet to support local youth. The Farmington Hills-based nonprofit provides clothing, shoes, hygiene items, school supplies and more to foster, at-risk, adopted, and qualified low-income children.

    Guests who dine in and order the Detroit Coney Chicago-style pizza and bring in a pack of new socks for the local nonprofit’s “Socktober” program will receive a complimentary appetizer add-on.

    “We aimed to create something uniquely local to celebrate National Pizza Month while giving back to our community,” Brian Vermeulen, general manager of Uno Pizzeria & Grill in Farmington Hills, said in a press release. “The Detroit Coney Chicago-style pizza combines two iconic city classics into one delicious dish. Even better, it’s all in support of the Oakland County Foster Closet.”

    The pizza is topped with hot dog slices, chili, mustard, and diced white onions, layered on top of Uno’s signature deep-dish crust.

    “We are deeply grateful for the support of local businesses like Uno Pizzeria & Grill in Farmington Hills,” Michele Austin, founder and president, of Oakland County Foster Closet, said. “These funds and donated items will make a positive difference in the lives of the foster children and foster families we support.”

    The Detroit Coney Chicago-style pizza is available now through October 31.

  • For New York’s Inaugural ‘Make Food, Not Waste’ Restaurant Week, 12 Eateries Vow to Reduce Waste—And Share Their Tips

    For New York’s Inaugural ‘Make Food, Not Waste’ Restaurant Week, 12 Eateries Vow to Reduce Waste—And Share Their Tips

    As New York City gears up to instate mandatory curbside composting, some of the boroughs’ celebrated restaurants are preparing for the first-ever “Make Food, Not Waste” Restaurant Week. Beginning Oct. 6th, all residents in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, will be required by law to compost, separating all food scraps and soiled-paper from other trash. Compost will be picked up curbside by the Department of Sanitation on the same day as recycling.

    The inaugural “Make Food, Not Waste” event is centered around chefs’ commitment to composting and cooking waste-free for one week, and kicks off today, Mon., Sept. 30. The 12 restaurants, many of which have earned impressive accolades, were challenged to create an innovative new dish that encapsulates the zero-waste principle of this restaurant week. 

    “We’re always thinking of creative ways to repurpose ingredients that typically get discarded. For instance, with the sushi rice we make fresh every day, any leftover rice can’t be used for Temaki the next day due to texture changes. But instead of wasting it, we blend the rice and fry it to create crispy, delicious rice chips. Turning it into a completely new and exciting dish is a perfect way to give that leftover rice a second life,” said chef Jihan Lee of Nami Nori, the sleek, airy Japanese restaurant with locations in the West Village and Williamsburg.

    Other chefs prioritize repurposing not only in inventive dishes, but also with helpful tips that are simple for New Yorkers to do in their own kitchens—many of which will become increasingly helpful as residents are required to separate all food waste and food-soiled paper products from their trash and recycling. Lee advises home cooks to meal plan as a basic way to reduce over-purchasing and make the most of each ingredient. Jeremiah Stone of Bar Contra, the hip Lower East Side cocktail bar, is a big fan of saving cheese rinds.

    “There’s a ton of flavor and they can be steeped into a soup with vegetables for more umami and flavor. One example would be to make a vegetable stock with the end-cuttings of vegetables and a Parmigiano Reggiano rind. Cook that for 40 minutes, and you have a lot more interesting flavor development,” Stone told Observer.

    James Beard Award-winning chef Dan Kluger advises one-pot meals as an easy way to control how many ingredients are used and to have a plan for leftovers, if there are any. Fidel Caballero of Corima, a new North Mexican fine dining eatery in Chinatown, always saves vegetable trimmings and meat bones to make broths and stocks. He also loves pickling vegetables that are beginning to turn, rather than chucking them.

    “Composting will help keep organic waste out of the garbage and landfills. Instead, it gets turned into compost that improves soil health and supports local gardens,” Kluger, who supports New York City’s curbside compost mandate, told Observer. “It’s a practical step to hopefully keeping rats out of the trash, and towards a cleaner city and a more sustainable environment.”

    The weeklong celebration of reduced carbon footprints is sponsored by Mill, a food recycling system that breaks down food waste into dry, usable soil. Each participating restaurant has received a Mill compost bin to further their waste-free commitment; the brand will also donate $10,000 to the Lower East Side Ecology Center, which organizes community-based sustainability initiatives and helps New Yorkers with electronic waste and composting.

    For all the New Yorkers looking to reduce composting by dining out (it’s certainly one way reduce food waste, as long as you lick your plate clean), here is the full list of restaurants and bars participating in “Make Food, Not Waste” Restaurant Week and the exciting zero-waste dishes that they’ll debut in honor of the event:

  • 20 greatest American food dishes

    20 greatest American food dishes

    By Forrest Brown | CNN

    America is called a melting pot – and that’s certainly true of its food.

    The USA’s culinary history is that of reinvention. Waves of food influences – Native, African, British, continental European, Asian and Latin – have landed on our shores (and still do).

    People take those classics, mix ’n’ match ’em and then slowly (or quickly) turn them into definitive American dishes. And then we oftentimes send the reformulated food back out into the wider world to complete the cycle.

    From starters to desserts, here are CNN Travel’s 20 selections for the greatest American food dishes:

    Barbecue

    People enjoy barbecue around the world, but Americans have taken a collective passion for low ’n’ slow cooked meat to the next level. Spanish conquistadors brought the cooking style practiced by indigenous Caribbean tribes north. It’s arguably one of the most-argued about foods in the United States – and we’re well-aware of the grand pizza rivalry.

    Four classic, regional BBQ rivalries and styles reign: Carolinas (where they’ve gone whole hog for pork); Texas (where beef is king); Memphis (where it’s all about ribs and rubs); and Kansas City (where a sweet, tomato-based sauce is a must). But that’s just the beginning. Regional types have their own subsets of disputes.

    For instance, head to the South and you’ll discover a South Carolina / North Carolina split on sauces. Then in just North Carolina, there’s the epic division of Eastern (whole hog, vinegar sauce) and Western (pork shoulder, tomato-and-vinegar sauce). In parts of South Carolina, a mustard-based sauce from German immigrants is preferred, and in even more select spots, a relatively secret “barbecue hash” is beloved. Meanwhile, “Texas big city barbecue” is sweeping the whole nation.

    Fried okra

    Fried okra is a delicious combination of two long-standing American culinary traditions.

    The first is how Americans came to embrace various foods and cuisines from Africa that were brought over during the era of the brutal transatlantic slave trade. Okra, which thrives in heat and humidity, became a regular feature in the South on tables of all races and classes.

    Then comes in a second tradition: the American love of deep-frying. (We are the nation of the deep-fried Twinkie, after all.)

    Okra can be found swimming in gumbos, succotashes and such. Hard-core fans might enjoy the slimy green pods simply steamed or boiled. They’re even pickled. But breaded and fried is often the entry point for reluctant first-timers, who can be quickly won over with the crunch and distinctive “grassy” flavor.

    It’s still wildly popular in the South. Irmo, a small town in South Carolina, holds a yearly Okra Strut to celebrate the fuzzy-skinned, cylindrical veggie. Fried okra makes a great snack, a proper side dish or one part of another concoction such as the Fried Shrimp and Okra Po’boy a la the Williamsburg Inn in Virginia.

    Cobb salad

    California’s trendy tendencies go back for decades. After all, this is the state that introduced the pleasing Cobb salad to the rest of the United States.

    Credit for the Cobb salad generally goes to Bob Cobb, owner of the now-defunct Brown Derby chain in Los Angeles. Back in 1937, he whipped up and then chopped up a late-night salad at the North Vine location for Sid Grauman of Grauman’s Theater with what he had on hand.

    Grauman loved it. Then LA loved it. Then America followed suit. And why not?

    The combination of crispy bacon, blue cheese, cold chicken breast, avocado, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes and lettuce is hard to resist. Of course, Americans love to tinker, and salads can withstand a lot of messin’ around. So there are all kinds of variations, such as a tropical Cobb with spiced chicken and mangoes.

    Peanut butter and jelly sandwich

    A satisfying and often humble economic mainstay of the masses, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich was once a decidedly fancy treat for elites in the early 20th century.

    According to the National Peanut Board, peanut butter was first introduced at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago and became popular in upscale tea rooms. Peanut butter and watercress, anyone?

    The first known PB&J sandwich recipe was published in 1901 in the Boston Cooking School Magazine of Culinary Science and used currant or crab-apple jelly. Eventually, mass production techniques in the early 1900s and the introduction of the sandwich as a ration for US military personnel in World War II helped spread the appeal. Parents did the rest, packing the easy-to-assemble, irresistible combo into their kids’ lunch boxes – or sneaking it into their own brown bags.

    The sandwich continues to have a dedicated and sometimes upper-crust following.

    Fry bread

    Flour, salt, baking powder and maybe sugar combined and cooked in lard or oil. What could be more simple? Or more complicated?

    This Native American fare was born of brutal necessity in the mid-1800s when tribes were forced off their lands and relocated to what’s now New Mexico on “The Long Walk.” With their native fresh foods unavailable, they made do with government-provided processed staples to keep from starving to death.

    Since then, fry bread has become a ubiquitous staple passed down through generations and sometimes sold to tourists visiting native lands. It’s quite delicious but not particularly nutritious. It’s a symbol of repression and resilience.

    As Kevin Noble Maillard puts it in 2019’s “Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story”: Fry bread is us. It is a celebration of old and new, traditional and modern, similarity and difference.

    Red beans and rice

    Talk about a successful food partnership.

    Rice has been a vital US crop going back to colonial America, namely in the Carolinas and Georgia where tidal flows and weather made for ideal growing conditions. It was grueling work, conducted by slaves. In the 1800s, Louisiana joined the rice-growing game as mechanization allowed for profitable production there.

    Meanwhile, red beans were a staple in Haiti. After its revolution against France, refugees fleeing to New Orleans brought the red bean tradition with them. The two foods made for a natural pairing and became an integral part of the New Orleans and Louisiana culinary identity.

    Traditionally enjoyed on Mondays (but hardly limited to that day), red beans and rice is often made with cayenne pepper, smoked andouille sausage along with onions, celery and bell pepper.

    The allure isn’t just in the rich, smoky, belly-filling taste. The dish is easy on the budget, and red beans are part of the nutritionally powerful legume family.

    Hamburger

    With the possible exception of apple pie, nothing says “American food” quite like a hamburger.

    Its super-compressed origin story could be fancifully called “From the Golden Horde to the Golden Arches.” Burger expert George Motz traces the modern burger’s ancestry back to 13th-century Mongolia. The raw mutton concoction from the remnants of the Mongol Empire eventually made its way over centuries to Hamburg, Germany, and shifted in make-up to cooked chopped beef. German immigrants brought it over to the United States, where it eventually made its way onto a bun.

    The Founding Fathers weren’t scarfing burgers down on the regular while crafting breakaway documents in Philly in the late 1700s, but by the start of the 20th century, hamburgers were quickly ascending as a dominant food in the United States. And in post-World War II America, hamburgers were the foundation of a vast Fast Food Empire.

    There’s no misunderstanding the hamburger’s juicy, versatile appeal. It’s the perfect food for meat-loving, on-the-go, super-size-me, bargain-hunting, cheese-eating, condiment-craving, make-it-my-way Americans.

    Apple pie

    The fruit itself originally hailed from Asia. The centuries-old penchant for pie came over with colonists from England. But somehow the United States did it again – turning imports into a thoroughly American-identified product.

    In the case of apple pie, it hit peak patriotism during World War II as the US soldier fought “for mom and apple pie.” It’s now American down to the core.

    RELATED: 12 terrific Bay Area pie shops where you can sate your sweet tooth

    Geography and climate also helped it claim fruit pie ascendancy. Good-sized chunks of the US mainland – all with four distinct seasons and sloping terrain – proved ideal for growing apples. The top 10 states for apple production cover a lot of territory: Washington, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, Virginia, North Carolina, Oregon, Ohio and Idaho.

    Attesting to its enduring popularity: Food & Wine published 22 of its most popular pie recipes in 2022. Three of them were apple pie varieties. As a bonus, warm apple pie pairs well with another American obsession: Ice cream.

    Poke

    The last state to join the union launched one of America’s more recent food trends: the poke bowl. The dish – which today usually consists of cubes of raw ahi tuna or sometimes other cuts of raw seafood such as shrimp or octopus – goes back centuries in Hawai’i, well before contact with Westerners.

    Chef Sam Choy, one of the early drivers of the Hawai’i regional cuisine movement in the 1990s, helped expand its popularity well beyond the island chain’s shores.

    Like many vaunted American dishes, poke (pronounced poh-kay) is an amalgamation of multiple influences. Japanese and Chinese immigrants added the use of shoyu (a type of soy sauce) and sesame oil.

    Variations of poke abound. It can be served atop rice, seaweed or in a salad of greens. You might even find it in tacos for a Hawaiian-Latin fusion.

    Chili

    As with so many foods, the further back you go on ancestry of the modern bowl of chili, the murkier things get. But at least within the United States, the loose consensus is chili was popularized in Texas first. In the 1880s, San Antonio’s downtown was known for its Hispanic outdoor vendors called “chili queens.” At the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Texas-style chili was a hit. It spread and morphed from there.

    Today, many questions still surround chili: Beans or no beans? Beef or turkey? Red chili peppers or green? Oyster crackers or cornbread? Super Bowl or any ol’ day?

    Many Texans might throw a fit if a bean gets anywhere near their chili. Red-meat purists are unlikely to gobble up the turkey variety. New Mexicans would probably give green peppers the go-ahead. Southerners will likely insist on a side of cornbread.

    As for a chili-and-Super Bowl combo, we’ll toss that one to Jason Kelce, who lost his Super Bowl ring in a pool filled with Cincinnati-style Skyline chili.

    Clam chowder

    Some say potato. Some say tomato. Some same chow-dah. Some say chow-der. But we’re all talkin’ ’bout clams here, whether it’s the New England variety or the Manhattan variety.

    The Encyclopedia Britannica says the word “chowder” derives from the French chaudière, or “cauldron,” and that it might have originated among Bretons who brought the custom to Newfoundland, where it eventually spread to New England and then beyond.

    Clam chowder perfectly illustrates how Americans can be adaptive and divisive at the same time. Certainly, the two clam chowder camps can be very loyal to their type. New England fans swear by their rich, milk- or-creamed-based formula with potatoes, onions, salt pork or bacon along with those divine clams. Manhattan mavens prefer their soupier, tomato-based bowl that might feature onion, garlic, celery and carrots along with potatoes.

    Down in the Florida Keys, these debates and preferences are just background noise as they devour bowls of conch chowder. (Conch, a type of sea snail, was a staple of the early settlers).

    General Tso’s chicken

    Americans have a special knack for modifying a dish so thoroughly that people in the point of inspiration might not even recognize it. Case in point: General Tso’s chicken.

    It’s named after a 19th-century general from Hunan province in southeast China, but it was invented by chef Peng Chang-kuei in Taiwan in the 1950s. (He fled to the island with the Nationalist government after the Communist takeover of the mainland in the late 1940s.) The dish first became popular in Taiwan and reflected mainland Hunan tastes – salty, hot and sour. No sugar or sweetness was added.

    Eventually, New York City chefs visiting Taiwan in the early 1970s got hip to the dish. But their version – delicious, lightly battered chunks of dark chicken fried in a sweet-and-sour sauce – appealed to that American penchant for anything fried and sweet.

    So like egg foo yung, this beloved “Chinese” favorite has taken on a life of its own in the USA.

    Reuben sandwich

    Corned beef, the key ingredient of a classic Reuben, was developed hundreds of years ago in the British Isles. That “prototype” of the salted meat we know today was often produced in Ireland but sent to England for consumption because the Irish of that time were too poor to afford it themselves. The modern corned beef we enjoy comes from the Irish diaspora in America, who turned to Jewish butchers and their kosher brisket cut as a food source.

    RELATED: Super sandwiches: 16 of the Bay Area’s best sandos to try right now

    As for origin story of the sandwich itself, there are competing creator stories. Nebraska and New York City both lay claim to the Reuben (this is one food fight the South and West Coast have managed to avoid).

    What we know for sure: As the 20th century rolled on, the deli sandwich became more and more of an American darling. And it’s still quite popular in the Cornhusker State and the Big Apple to this day.

    What’s not to love? The classic Reuben layers sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian or Thousand Island-style dressing on rye bread. Messy and magnificent.

    You can also find protein variations across the land: Smoked salmon, turkey and a “Texas Reuben” that has smoked pastrami brisket.

    Grits

    This creamy dish has its roots in the culinary culture of Native Americans, who pounded dried corn to make a coarse cornmeal. They’d then cook it down into a soup or porridge. Like tomatoes, corn was completely new to European colonizers, who quickly took to the concoction.

    It’s most popular in the “Grits Belt” stretching roughly from parts of Texas to the Washington, DC, area, and they’re often eaten as a side at breakfast. But grits can be more than simple, cheap, filling morning fare, as evidenced by the rise of shrimp-and-grits, a popular lunch and dinner option in the fanciest of Charleston, South Carolina, restaurants and beyond.

    Grits often are an acquired taste – puzzling to newcomers who might find them a bowl of blandness. The key: Avoid quick-cook varieties and go for stone-ground grits cooked low and slow. Add butter, salt and pepper to taste. Then cut your imagination loose. Grits can host cheese, runny fried eggs, bacon pieces, finely chopped tomatoes, sauteed onions, okra and even venison.

    Chocolate chip cookie

    Warm-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies and a cold glass of milk – heaven. Americans have an inventive Massachusetts inn owner back in the late 1930s to thank for this yummy treat.

    The story goes that Ruth Wakefield, who ran the Toll House Inn in Whitman, added chopped-up bits from a Nestle semi-sweet chocolate bar to a batch of Butter Drop Do cookies. Things didn’t turn out as she had planned. She thought the chips would melt entirely. But what she got – soft, gooey, distinctive bits – was delicious.

    RELATED: 11 Bay Area bakeries with next-level chocolate chip cookies

    Wakefield sold her recipe rights and the Toll House name to the Nestle company in 1939. Soon enough, they were an American classic. You can get the original recipe here.

    Besides being delicious, it’s no wonder they became so popular. Americans love a bargain, simplicity and food they can eat on the go. And in those regards, the relatively inexpensive, easy-to-make, imminently portable chocolate chip cookie scores a tasty trifecta.

    Gumbo

    It’s hard to overstate Louisiana’s contribution to the American food scene, and it’s equally hard to overstate gumbo’s role in the state’s culinary heritage.

    The roots of the dish – found in the humblest of eateries to the finest restaurants – are from West Africa with invaluable contributions from Native American and French cuisines. The hearty stew is traditionally served with rice. As for what’s in it, that can vary from town to town and cook to cook.

    Li’l Dizzy’s Café in the Treme neighborhood of New Orleans makes a huge pot of gumbo for lunch every day. That allows for about 60 to 70 servings and takes about two hours to prepare. Their Creole filé gumbo starts with a roux (a flour and fat mixture for thickness). Then shrimp, crabs, ham, smoked sausage, homemade hot sausage are added along with onion, bell peppers and a little celery.

    What would happen if Li’l Dizzy’s pulled it off the menu? “Oh, I don’t know if I’d survive it,” owner Wayne Baquet Jr. told CNN Travel. “It may be the most popular item we have on our menu. It’s part of our identity.”

    The chefs and cooks representing Chicago’s South Asian community have expanded their culinary vision in recent years. Restaurants are diving into regional fare, and there are now two options for Indian tasting menus.

    While the suburbs continue to see growth, and with that comes more food options, Chicago has more Indian restaurants than ever, and they’re located all across the city. Urban dwellers can find Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese, and Bangladeshi food. A few Devon Street entries even have outdoor seating, a new development as the city’s South Asian hub continues to evolve. While Devon, the birthplace of Patel Brothers — America’s largest Indian grocer — holds a special place for many, the rest of the city has wonderful culinary options that shouldn’t be dismissed.

  • A West London Dinner Party: Zoë and Layo Paskin Debut The Barbary Notting Hill

    A West London Dinner Party: Zoë and Layo Paskin Debut The Barbary Notting Hill

    Zoe and Layo Paskin. Studio Paskin

    For Zoë and Layo Paskin, going to a good restaurant should feel like being invited to a dinner party. It’s a welcoming philosophy that the siblings have embodied in all of Studio Paskin’s openings, from their iconic (now closed) London nightclub The End, to debut restaurant The Palomar, which opened in 2014, to Covent Garden favorite The Barbary, which opened its doors in 2016, to Michelin-starred fine dining spot Evelyn’s Table. Now, the hospitality group has expanded west with The Barbary Notting Hill, a lively restaurant that is notably bigger than all of their prior endeavors, but still retains that intimate dinner party vibe. 

    “I’ve always enjoyed having people to my home,” Zoë tells Observer. “So that’s, for me, how it all feels and how you’re making someone feel. And they need to feel better when they leave than when they arrive, so when they walk out that door, they think, ‘I just had a great time.’”

    “It’s a bit like music,” adds Layo. “You need all the classical professional things to be there, but a little bit of the jazz that goes on top and feeling with the people who are serving you or welcoming you or are being present in that moment with you is quite important. You need to feel the whole thing is engaged.”

    The Barbary Notting Hill seats 75 guests (the original has only 24), and expands on the sharing plates and flatbreads beloved at The Barbary and its sister restaurant, The Barbary Next Door. The dishes and ingredients are inspired by the Barbary Coast, a 16th-century region that comprised North Africa and southern Europe, although the dishes are modern and forward-thinking. It’s helmed by head chef Daniel Alt, who has included both classics and new offerings on the menu, which is accompanied by a 250-bottle wine list. 

    Guests for lunch and dinner can currently partake in two types of flatbread, accompanied by small plates like fried artichokes and dips like hummus and spinach borani. There is a range of fish preparations, from scallop aguachile to monk fish tempura, as well as larger plates of meat and seafood cooked on the fire (a personal favorite was the coffee rub organic chicken). These can be served with vegetable sides, although there’s no wrong way to order. It’s all intended as a convivial, collective experience, which Zoë describes as a “feast of flavors.”

    “In London, you’ve got a lot of reinvention of Thai food and Indian food, and with lots of cuisines here right now, you get the layering of lots of different dishes and flavors,” Layo says. “It’s a really fun way to eat, because you get a lot more food. Don’t get me wrong: It’s nice having one dish and one thing. But we’ve all been embracing, over the past few years, this option of having loads of dishes together.”

    Zoë and Layo chatted with Observer about the two-year journey to opening The Barbary Notting Hill, how the menu was brought to life and where they like to dine when going out in London.

    Layo Paskin: We asked ourselves the same question. All of our places, and even going back to when we had our nightclub The End, are in central London, but neither of us live centrally. With the pause that happened during Covid, we focused a bit more on our own neighborhoods. So when we started to think about doing [another restaurant], we decided to step away from the center of town, although Notting Hill is a central neighborhood. So that started the conversation. And then, really, what often happens is, you see the site. We saw this site when it was an art gallery and it was a beautiful room. It was quite an immediate reaction to the site. A bit like when you’re searching for a flat and you see something you love. Galleries are nice because you get a sense of peace from the space. So straight away, we got a nice energy from it.

    Zoë Paskin: We always hoped one day to do a corner site. The combination of that and a blank canvas was quite exciting. 

    How challenging was it to develop the restaurant once you found the site?

    ZP: First, we had to secure the site. There were various people going for it. And then the lease took a long time, and the license had to be sorted out because it was a change of venue [type]. We actually went on a high-risk journey with this, evolving what we wanted to do but always knowing we may not quite get there. But once we started designing the restaurant, it was about what we wanted to draw from The Barbary’s core and essence. Obviously, it’s many years later in a very different location. When you find a space you always get informed by it, too. The Palomar was an old restaurant called The Spice Bazaar. The Barbary in Neal’s Yard was a skate shop. 

    LP: In the back of our minds, it was always to take some elements from The Barbary. We wanted to have a kitchen bar still, but we always wanted to have these bigger tables. You put down all of the things you want to include, and then you try to incorporate as much of that into the design as possible.

    Sitting at the counter is a big draw at the original restaurant. How did you balance having tables and a counter here?

    LP: One of the biggest functions in this restaurant, from our perspective, was that the kitchen and the kitchen team could really work. So the positioning of the kitchen and the back of house informed a lot. The kitchen had to be in a certain position, which dictated where the bar is. There were two possible entrances to the restaurant, and we picked the one where your immediate reaction when you walk in is the drinks bar, with the tables to one side and the kitchen bar to the other. These are subtle things, but you think about where the thoroughfares are. If you’re sitting at a table, you don’t want a ton of people always walking past. The reality is you can’t overcome every obstacle, but I think we’ve achieved a lot of what we wanted. 

    How does it feel to finally open a restaurant after going through all of that?

    ZP: In the middle of a service, you feel like you’ve taken this vessel out to sea. In a marvelous way. I quite like standing in the middle of the restaurant and seeing it all come together and all of the respective chatter. But, of course, it is a bigger restaurant to captain, in that sense. 

    LP: The nicest thing about a bigger restaurant is that there’s more places to be in it. Take our restaurant Evelyn’s Table; we can’t really be in service unless we’re actually in service because it’s so small. So it’s quite nice to be in the room orchestrating and working with the team, but not feel too in the way. 

    Octopus Sabzi. Mickaël A. Bandassak

    How did you determine which dishes to bring from The Barbary and which dishes to introduce as new?

    LP: We’ve been testing dishes all of this year. So we’ve got a big bank of recipes that work seasonally with different things, and that will react to how people in the area respond. But we tried to take all of the things that were important to take while also wanting to develop. We didn’t want to open the same restaurant in a different neighborhood. The Barbary and The Barbary Next Door are so small that there was a lot more to the story we could tell, and by doing that in a bigger restaurant with a bigger kitchen, we could have more scope. And none of it is hard and fast. It’s always evolving. That probably makes life harder work-wise, but it probably makes the restaurants have more longevity. 

    ZP: One of the things about the menu is the buildup of lots of flavors and lots of dishes, which is my personal favorite way to eat. I like the way they all complement each other.

    LP: I like that we can also do bigger dishes. We could do a whole fish for two, which is just not feasible in any of our other places. And we’re only just beginning how we’re doing that. We’ve worked on it a lot. Even with our flatbreads, we’ve got lots of toppings and ideas, but because we have a brand-new team, we want to give them a bit of time to feel their way in. Those are the biggest changes in the dishes we’re doing—the rest of the evolutions of dishes that we’ve done and other things we’ve worked on in the same vein. 

    Has the concept behind The Barbary shifted since you first opened the one in Neal’s Yard?

    LP: It’s developed. With The Barbary Next Door, we haven’t got a fire there, so it’s more about raw and slow cooking. That made us look at the cuisine in a different way. With The Barbary Notting Hill, we’ve gone farther into Europe than we have before. It’s the same geography of southern Europe and northern Africa, but we’ve moved that around a little bit. There’s more from southern Spain and southern Italy than we have in the original Barbary. 

    Did you travel to research those places?

    LP: Yeah, that’s the best bit of the job! We went to Sicily. We went to Seville. San Sebastian. El Palmar de Vejer. Costa Brava. 

    ZP: It’s slightly more complicated now that we’ve each got children, but it’s one of the ways we get into a creative space together. 

    There’s still bar seating. Mickael A. Bandassak

    What’s your favorite thing about opening a new restaurant?

    LP: When you see it all come together and you feel that atmosphere and you see all the work, from yourselves and the team, come together. And all of that time and energy and creative endeavor comes together. It feels really, really good. And maybe you get a nice moment with a customer, either re-booking or coming up to you and saying they had a great meal. That’s when you feel, “Okay, we’re in the right area of where we want to be.” 

    ZP: At the end the night last night, I sat down to have some food at the bar on my own before driving home, and I managed to get to chatting with the couple next to me. I just had such a wonderful conversation with them. They had lived on Shelton Street near The Barbary and had loved it and recently had moved to Chelsea. They were so complimentary about their relationship with The Barbary and how they felt about the one they were now sitting in. It was just a magical moment. Very, very special. 

    It’s a nice idea to think about people having living relationships with restaurants. 

    ZP: They are living things, aren’t they? Like I said earlier, you’ve got this vessel and you’ve got the bar, the kitchen, the kitchen porters, the runners, the guests. People are waiting for a table patiently or impatiently. People won’t get off their table. There’s this whole improvisation going on every day where the core elements are the same but they’re completely different every day. And that’s bit where, hopefully, all of the good stuff happens. 

    Where do you both like to go out to eat in London?

    LP: Thinking about it like relationships, I have different places for when I want different things. I like going to Bistrotheque if I’m having lunch in east London. On a night out, I’d choose somewhere like Chiltern Firehouse. If I want turbot, I’d go to Brat. If I want dim sum, Royal China Club. If I want Turkish, there’s a place in Dalston called Number 34. For takeaway, my favorite in Islington is called Afghan Kitchen. We go to all of the new openings, but some I repeatedly enjoy. For me, it’s a personal choice about what I’m in the mood to eat. 

    ZP: I have my favorites, too. Most recently, I keep wanting to go back to Farang. I live quite near and I like strong, spicy flavors. For old favorites in town, I love Barrafina. 

    What’s the most memorable meal you’ve had recently?

    ZP: Whenever we order a ton of oysters and my partner shucks—that feels like a real treat at home. Or we go to the Japanese fish market near us, and we do a massive plate of sashimi at home. When I was at the end of my pregnancy, those were the two experiences I was asking for most. 

    LP: This summer, I was near Saint Tropez and near Dubrovnik, and both times I had lunch in beachside restaurants. Grilled fish and bottle of rose by the sea. If I can picture what my last meal should be, it’s that. Being in those moments, surrounded by friends and family, and feeling that sense of relaxed, late afternoon sun.

  • Bob & Barbara’s must knock down its $35,000 streetery after losing legal fight with city

    Bob & Barbara’s must knock down its $35,000 streetery after losing legal fight with city

    South Street bar and restaurant Bob & Barbara’s Lounge — a neighborhood staple since 1969 — will start tearing down its short-lived streetery next week after losing a monthslong battle with the city over a road resurfacing project that requires removal of the structure.

    The business spent about $35,000 on the U-shaped bar it built on South Street after the project got approval from the city’s Department of Licenses and Inspections in January. At the time, the city failed to mention the upcoming road work, the owners say. Bob & Barbara’s didn’t find out they would need to remove the streetery until May, when they were informed by a city contractor for the Streets Department project.

    “We wouldn’t have built the thing if we knew that there was an upcoming road resurfacing project,” Oskar Duva, one of the bar’s managers, said Tuesday.

    Like many bars and restaurants in the city, Bob & Barbara’s relied on outdoor dining to stay afloat during the public health restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The city’s early outdoor dining program didn’t have overly stringent regulations of what businesses could do to create space for customers outside. Duva said the city’s initial oversight was relatively accommodating to the business community.

    That all changed in October 2022, when the city released new guidelines for streeteries and other outdoor dining arrangements. Bob & Barbara’s original streetery — just a walled-in overhang built to shield customers from rain — was no longer compliant and had to be removed by early 2023.

    Over the next year, the business went through the city’s step-by-step process to design and obtain approval for a new streetery. The process requires review by multiple city agencies, including the Art Commission and the Streets Department, before L&I grants streetery licenses that cost businesses $1,750 per year.

    “It’s my understanding that road resurfacing projects require years of planning, so the Streets Department was certainly aware of this project coming even at the time that they approved our design,” Duva said.

    In an Instagram post Monday, Bob & Barbara’s announced the impending demise of its streetery at the hands of a city government it claimed “made a big ole oopsies” when it handed out a license for a road that was about to be ripped up and repaved. 

    “After many months of battle we regret to inform you that Goliath has won and decreed our structure to be moved, all at expense to the business of course,” the bar wrote. 

    An update to the guidelines

    Located just west of 15th Street, Bob & Barbara’s is cemented in Philly lore for inventing the citywide special — a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon and a shot of Jim Beam for $4. In the mid-1990’s, the Duva family took over the business from its previous owners and maintained its friendly reputation as a dignified dive bar. The owners partly credit surviving the pandemic to having a makeshift streetery, one that required staff to lug bar furniture in and out each day. 

    The new streetery at Bob & Barbara’s isn’t the type of structure that can easily be removed and rebuilt. It has 12 built-in stools and a thick bartop. The streetery was modeled using guidelines published by the city when the new regulations were established in 2022. Duva said he consulted with an engineer to ensure the design complied with the city’s rules and followed its recommendations. 

    But the month after the bar got its streetery license, the city put out an updated set of guidelines that stated all structures must be removable within 48 hours of receiving written or verbal notice from a city official. The newer guidelines advise businesses to “avoid build-outs that would require special lifting equipment, such as cranes, or time-intensive disassembly efforts for removal.”

    Bob & Barbara’s discovered it had invested heavily in a streetery that the city could order them to remove within 48 hours.

    “That was the first time I ever saw that,” Duva said of the updated guidelines. “Construction was already underway at that point, so there wasn’t really any going back. We figured even if we have to spend a good chunk on building a legit streetery, it was going to pay off in the end. We would have changed our design if we had been made aware that we would have to be able to remove it at a moment’s notice, essentially.”

    The city updated its guidelines, in part, to reflect what was already required by law. One of the reasons streeteries are approved for one-year licenses is that city streets are public property.

    “The law specifically requires that streetery structures be removable within 48 hours, and that they be removed for public projects,” the Streets Department said in a statement Tuesday. “This is, again, because they are placed in the public right-of-way, not the restaurant’s property. Other streeteries have temporarily moved for public events like marathons, and for paving projects.”

    The city declined to comment about its communication with Bob & Barbara’s during the streetery application process. Officials also did not answer questions about how the agencies involved in the streetery program coordinated when approving Bob & Barbara’s design and license, and whether they might have foreseen how discussing the road resurfacing project would affect the bar’s plans.

    ‘Unwilling to compromise’

    Philadelphia’s streetery program has been criticized by City Controller Christy Brady for being too complex and making the process too costly for many businesses. During the pandemic, upwards of 800 streeteries operated in the city. By the time the controller’s office examined the issue in August and published a report with recommendations for improvements, fewer than 30 had been approved under the new permitting guidelines.

    Weeks after the Streets Department contractor notified Bob & Barbara’s of the planned road work, the business found a city order posted on its streetery stating the structure needed to be removed by June 30. City officials said the notice was posted on June 6, giving the bar weeks to comply instead of the minimum 48-hour notice.

    Bob & Barbara’s contacted a lawyer and filed for an appeal of the decision, noting how there had been lapses in communication about the road work.

    The ongoing resurfacing project — which covers South Street from 27th to Broad streets — was postponed over the summer. Duva said the business used that time to exhaust all of its legal options, but it was given a new deadline of Sept. 10 to remove the streetery.

    Bob & Barbara’s then filed an emergency injunction to stop the order and they were granted a court hearing last week. It didn’t go as they had hoped.

    “(The city is) unwilling to compromise or reach any kind of agreement,” Duva said.

    In her decision on the matter, Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Sierra Thomas Street ruled in favor of the city’s order to remove the streetery. She noted that the application and licensing process for streeteries requires businesses to attest to the 48-hour removal policy, which is baked into the city code to give priority to scheduled road maintenance and utility projects.

    “On the application for the Streetery License, applicants sign an attestation that they will abide by the removal requirements,” the Streets Department said.

    Whether Bob & Barbara’s was informed about the road work, they legally had acknowledged the city’s terms by applying for the license. And even if the design the bar chose was based on guidelines that failed to stress the importance of building removable structures, the court sided with the city because of the attestation. 

    “The argument was that the streeteries are supposed to be designed to be able to be removed within 48 hours notice,” Duva said. “That is part of the city code, but it was not specified in the set of guidelines that our whole design was based on.”

    In February, Duva shared his frustration over the amount of time it took to get the new streetery approved under the city’s guidelines. In court documents Bob & Barbara’s filed with the city, the business noted that it had to undergo at least two revisions of its streetery design. Despite that, the city never mentioned that it would behoove the business to make their structure easily removable — let alone the fact that South Street was being resurfaced later in the year.

    In hindsight, Duva said he wishes Bob & Barbara’s could have taken a different and safer approach.

    “I wouldn’t have designed it to the level that it is now,” he said. “I would have tried to make it something that could be removed more easily. Based on what I knew at the time, what we built was what the city wanted us to build. Based on what they published, we tried to follow that as closely as we could.”

    ‘A lack of consideration’

    With about a week to go before the streetery is removed, Duva said the part of the saga that stings most is that the city hasn’t shown any willingness to work with Bob & Barbara’s. The Streets Department said the city can’t afford to further delay the repaving of South Street, which was originally scheduled to be completed by the end of August, because doing so could jeopardize federal funding that covers the majority of the cost.

    “They’re just being relentless,” Duva said.

    Although the contractor for the road resurfacing on South Street suggested his crews could work around the streetery, the city didn’t view that as a solution, Duva said. The court ruling also offered no financial relief from the city to make up for the bar’s investment. Removing and rebuilding the structure after the road is resurfaced would cost another $30,000.

    “It would require a lot of work, a lot of heavy machinery, and a lot of money that we can’t put out right now,” Duva said, noting that legal fees have added to costs associated with the streetery. 

    The city gave the bar another deadline of Sept. 30 to remove the streetery, but Duva said his contractor can’t do the job until early October.

    “Once paving is completed, Bob & Barbara’s will be free to restore the streetery as other restaurants have,” the Streets Department said. 

    Bob & Barbara’s isn’t the only business on South Street that’s been affected by the resurfacing project and the city’s streetery regulations. About two blocks west, Pumpkin BYOB closed in July after nearly 20 years in business. Part of the reason for the closure was an order for the restaurant to dismantle a $50,000 streetery it had built to be compliant with the city’s new guidelines. It had to be taken down within a month of being completed.

    Duva said he hopes the plight of Pumpkin BYOB and Bob & Barbara’s convinces the city to take a closer look at how it’s treating businesses and whether its streetery program has clear enough rules and regulations. In his view, the entire situation could have and should have gone differently.

    “Either our design shouldn’t have been approved because of this upcoming road resurfacing project — or, even if they approved it, they should have let us know and we would not have built it,” Duva said. “We would have waited until after the project was finished. It was a lack of communication and consideration for how businesses are trying to operate.”

  • New Orleans-style brunch restaurant opens in downtown Detroit

    New Orleans-style brunch restaurant opens in downtown Detroit

    Sugah Please is bringing a taste of the South to Detroit.

    The New Orleans-inspired breakfast and brunch restaurant named after the popular Southern term of endearment just opened its doors in the heart of downtown, offering comfort food, craft cocktails, and espresso drinks.

    Located at 150 W. Jefferson Ave., the new spot hosted a ribbon-cutting event on Sept. 16 with Deputy Mayor Todd Bettison and City Council President Mary Sheffield. Sugah Please is the 174th business to open a brick-and-mortar in Detroit with support from Motor City Match, according to the city.

    Owner Wendy Ringo originally intended to open her restaurant in Detroit’s Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she instead ended up launching an online delivery service offering coffees, teas, and sweets.

    The pivot led to Sugah Please gaining a strong social media following which supported the eatery in opening a location at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi. After a successful year there, Ringo is returning to her roots with a second location of Sugah Please in Detroit.

    “I couldn’t rest until we found our traction in the city. Detroit is who I am, and Detroit is who I’ll forever be,” Ringo said in a statement. “This is a story of persevering; I think we represent the grit of the city.”

    The restaurant’s dishes are inspired by the owner’s family roots.

    Menu items include Creole Crabcakes, Catfish Beignets, Shrimp and Grits, Seafood Gumbo, and a Peach Bourbon Barbecue Chicken Wings. Guests can also enjoy signature craft cocktails, such as the “Sugah Blue,” which blend traditional drinks with Detroit-inspired innovation.

    Additionally, Sugah Please plans to partner with other Michigan- and Detroit-based suppliers to add more offerings to the menu. Soon, ground coffee, K-pod gift sets, and coffee subscriptions will be available, according to its website, allowing customers to bring a taste of the restaurant home.

    Sugah Please is still in its soft opening phase, operating Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-3 p.m.
