Eggplant: The Violet Fruit

3 years 8 months ago

There’s one dish I always look for on a restaurant menu: Eggplant Parmigiana. I’ve eaten it all over town, though I’m sure I’ve not exhausted the possibilities.

Review: Elmwood Owners Find a New Win in Pizza Champ

3 years 8 months ago
For most of his adult life, Chris Kelling would head into work donning a stiffly pressed shirt, suit blazer and, sometimes, a pocket square. Though not employer issued, it was the de facto uniform of his job as a hospitality professional at some of the country's top fine-dining restaurants and one he wore with pride as the co-owner and front-of-house face of the sleek Maplewood restaurant Elmwood. Today, Kelling's work ensemble is quite different.
