Family affair
We’re not ones to feed stereotypes—usually. But we think it’s a shame if a big Italian family saves all of its spaghetti for itself and doesn’t share its genetic predisposition toward premier pasta-making with the general public. So it’s about time that the Oliva family has chosen to get out of their own kitchens and […]
Material world
So, it’s a little hard to believe, but apparently it’s Christmastime again already. I’ll be honest and admit that last year Christmas cheer got me into debt, so this year I’m going to try to rein the plastic in a bit so that I’m not still paying for the joy of giving in June. That […]
Life lessons
Like many people whose parents prod them into piano lessons, Elva Holland had an early relationship to music that was more about self-discipline than escape. But lots of kids in parentally-enforced music lessons grow up and leave the scales and etudes far behind. In Holland’s case, the lessons seem to have stuck more closely. Then […]

BibliOdyssey is without a doubt a nerdy website, but it is also a treasure trove of human accomplishment and […]
Republic of Belmont
First they got themselves a coffee shop (La Taza), then a jazz club (Saxx), the Bridge/ Progressive Arts Institute, their own BBQ spot and now a neighborhood wine and cheese shop. Some call it Soho, some call them Bobos (Bourgeois Bohemians, that is)—but we just call them damn lucky for living within walking distance of […]
Corn to be wild
Note: This recipe is part of a year-end series of classic Acquired Tastes from the C-VILLE archives. This one first ran in 2004. Easy to overlook in the Gleason’s building on Garrett Street, Baker’s Palette stands ready to satisfy cravings from the sweet and flaky to the hot and frothy. Open Saturdays and Mondays from […]
We Ate Here
We walked into Baggby’s at high noon on a Wednesday—the exact middle of the week—and were reminded in a pleasant way of elementary school. It’s hard to explain, but something about this experience just took us back. Maybe it was having our name written on a brown bag that would later hold our lunch (the […]
