Ottawa Magazine - Places to Watch [General]
2008 Oct 28
MMF - Here is some of the stuff that was written in two seperate areas of the aforementioned Ottawa Magazine - Best Restaurants Issue.
Stephen Beckta will see his staff go from 30 to 70 when he opens his second restaurant. The new 120 seat eatery will be named Play and housed in a heritage building at 1 York Street. One York is owned by Sarah Jennings and her husband Ian Johns. Beckta says the venue will be "more playful, less formal, and less expensive. So as to focus on shorter and more frequent visits." Expected to open in January, serving quality food with a more relaxed feel. Look for crazy-ass cheeses and charcuterie. www.playfoodandwine.com

Yep, that article really makes the reader drool! Is business at Jean Albert's (LeRoy's
) increasing as a result? I have to admit to being very interested in the fried chicken with waffles.

Soul Food - I too read that article, and I have to say my mouth was watering. (BTW, cute pic of yourself & your lovely bride).
The food described by writer Shawna Wagman was enough to set off anyone's curiosity...
Mains - Gumbo, Southern Fried Chicken, Ribs with Whiskey BBQ Sauce, Fried Pork Chops, Chili Cheese Fries
Sides - Homemade Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, Baked Beans, Candied Yams, Creamed Corn, Sweet Water Bread
Beverages - Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
Desserts - Sweet Potato Pie, Banana Pudding, Southern Peach Cobbler
This is definitely a roll up your sleeves and get messy with your food kind of place!
LeRoy, I'm looking forward to my first visit!
