Chautauqua Area of New York – So Many Artisan Entrepreneurs Are Bred Here

www.americantravelnews.com . The Reverie Creamery is owned by partners Riko Chandra and Jim Howard in Mayville, New York.  Reverie produces its own seasonal cheeses and also carries a variety of cheeses and goodies from around the world with a focus on small, American, artisanal companies.  Reverie is dedicated to using local ingredients and collaborating with a range of local artisans.  Their artisan products reflect a meaningful relationship to the land and Western New agricultural heritage. Because Reverie Creamery selections of cheese varies seasonally,  there always new things to try. They started as a cheese store selling a selection of Artisan cheeses, but soon began making their own fresh cheese. They are dedicated to using local agricultural products that they continue to market.

Besides their cheeses, their store is full of local food products and handmade items such as carving boards, ceramics, and many other beautiful locally made gifts.They also have cheese & wine pairings, harvest dinners, and many other events. We tasted some of the cheeses that were made on site. Delicous!!! For more information go www.reveriecreamery.com  716-789-5757

 

Riko believes that “Every piece of fine cheese that you savor has a story to tell”
The upper Crust Bakery Fredonia

 

After the cheese tastings, we were ready for lunch. Just a short drive later we arrived at the Upper Crust Bakery and Soup Co. on Main Street in Fredonia, New York.

Their sandwiches look so big, so I ordered a half of homemade tuna with a bowl potato soup. Of course when I looked in the desert case, just had to have one of their delights. Hard to make a decision. They had cinnamon buns, pecan buns, blueberry and raspberry clouds and much more. With my raspberry cloud enjoyed a fresh cup of espresso.

Everything looked so good, it was hard to pick

For more information call: (716) 672-2253 or their website is: www.uppercrustfredonia.com

Kings Kitchen-A Southern Kitchen On a Local Charlotte, NC Mission

AMERICAN PRESS TRAVEL NEWS–Charlotte, NC–Right in the city of Charlotte, NC sits the Kings Kitchen. Barb and I loved the food and especially the concept for this restaurant-that was so much more than a place of gastronomy!

From the Kings Kitchen Bakery at the restaurant, this cheese Danish style pastry had me licking my fingers after all of this large pastry made it past my palate!

From their original mission statement 12-years ago: The King’s Kitchen operates as a public restaurant, serving local, healthy, Southern cuisine and the profits and proceeds from “The King’s Kitchen” goes toward feeding the poor. In addition, The King’s Kitchen works with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Dream Center to operate “The Restoration Program” a five-part training program to employ, train and minister the gospel of Jesus Christ to the homeless, the poor, troubled youth, rehab graduates and other members of their community who are in need of employment. The King’s Kitchen operates in the spirit of excellence by training and equipping the whole person (spirit, soul and body) thereby sending out developed leaders into their community. This is being done by working together with other local ministries, businesses, nonprofits and people of faith. According to Lindsay Nielander, Event Coordinator and Manager, the Chef, Steven Young Graduated from Johnson & Wales Culinary School, but most importantly he has drawn not only from his schooling, but also from being able to use local produce and goods that has allowed him to experiment, yet keep the flavors as close to the Southern traditions of down- to- earth cuisine that pleases all who indulge in his presentations. Once we get back and enjoy a full spectrum of entrees we will publish another well deserved piece on the Kings Kitchen and Bakery. In the meantime, don’t wait, give a call to 704-375-1990 or also go to kingskitchen.org  The Kitchen is located at 129 West Trade St. Charlotte, NC 28202

 

A coconut dessert to dream over! We only had time to try a couple of desserts and coffee. We had other time constraints, but we’re going back! Everything is luscious at Kings Kitchen and the people are so dedicated to cuisine and people!
