wine me, dine me: Asian Food Fest– Saturday and Sunday

feeder — Fri, 18 May 2012 20:24:59 +0000

Miss me? At least I’m coming back with something you really must attend. Asian Food Fest, I insisted last year, would be way more popular if it were downtown. The Donauschwaben, where they were located last year, is remote and kind of hard to find. Mind you, I didn’t actually tell anyone this– well, besides the cats. Apparently, the Asian Food Fest organizers heard my conversations (I doubt the cats told), and moved it to The Banks, making it one of the first big events down there that doesn’t have to do with sports.

Campbell’s Scoop: Quan Hapa, new on Vine St. from Pho Lang Thang guys

It’s going to be daring and eccentric, says David Le about the new Asian restaurant he and his partners at Pho Lang Thang are opening in the Gateway Quarter. He, Duy and Bao Nguyen and chef Matt Cranert are opening Quan Hapa (pronounced Wang Ha Pa”) at 1335 Vine St. He said they’ll be doing Asian street food from all over Asia, but “our version” of it. That doesn’t mean they’re going to dumb it down or make it more American. Quite the contrary: “We’re going to go at it hard, make it as crazy as we can, and

DINING REVIEW For anyone who thinks the Green Dog Cafe is too green and too healthy, you might be interested to know that the Dog’s new next-door sister restaurant, Buz, serves excellent meat and potatoes. The beef filet, served with a rectangle of creamy potatoes au gratin (call them scalloped potatoes if you will) and bright green spinach, is as good a square meal as you’re likely to find anywhere. It’s one of a few carefully selected entrees on the menu at Buz, which owner/chef Mary Swortwood opened recently to extend her reach. The Green Dog, which

Perk’nUp Coffee is a new truck that moves around Northern Kentucky, serving espresso drinks, frappes and smoothies. Lora Kastor has been operating it for three months now, mostly in Edgewood and Florence. She makes regular stops at office buildings, and two a day at Beckfield College in Florence. She started the truck after getting laid off–she said it started by joking about it, but she and her husband thought about it more and realized it was probably actually a good idea. She also peddles cupcakes from Heavenly Frosted Cupcakes, and some pastries. The coffee is from Lookout Joe in Mount
