Still lamenting Joe Davola's... anybody know what Chris is doing/planning ?

Yeah I dug JD's.. it looks like something is going on in that old location. Anyone know?

That wasn't Howerton, right? It was the guy from Jackson's Organic Coffee. Maybe last name something like Stockton? Last I heard, Chef Howerton was working for a purveyor of high end meats (but this was shortly after he left Corbetts).

But of course, I could be completely confused.

You are correct. Christopher Stockton opened what was then Jackson's Organic Coffee with Sondra Powell. He left for Davola's, she stayed and turned it into Red Hot Roasters. Two nice people, two good spots. I hated to see Davola's close.

Chris Howerton's Facebook page shows him at Michaels Finer Meats & Seafoods. He's a good chef, and I bet he'll turn up at someplace interesting one of these days.

Oops wrong guy

Stockton is the kind Brit- you'll know him when he shakes your hand. He's kind of batting a .1000 in the Louisville Restaurant Scene right now.

Howerton and me go back like Superman Underoos- we were friends before he went to Sullivan. He likes his job and is doing quite well at it. Pulling him back into the business would be a task. Trust me, I've tried.

When you have great friends, you learn from them. One of the coolest things I've heard all year was Howie's explanation of how he would return to the business:

'Steve, I've done [the avante-garde] If I was to return to the business, I would make simple and honest food.'

Anyone know what's going on with the location? I was riding by there today and there were folk in there working on it, looked like it had been pretty well cleared out and they were doing new framing for in the interior.
