Birthday with a Local Girl

March 29, 2012 by rachelocal

Pre-birthday celebrations are the best, especially when a surprise is involved and ESPECIALLY when the friend being celebrated is as sweet and as dear as Deanna. My friends and I were lucky enough to head to my favorite local, farm-to-table restaurant LBR 614, and a fun and oh-so-delicious meal turned into a birthday surprise when Deanna was presented with desserts from Chef Jeff. I know I’ve gushed about the food at LBR 614 before, but I don’t think I’ve […]

(Thanks to Jimmie for the clever and cute reference.) I attended a class at LBR 614 last night, taught and hosted by Jeff and Jimmie (we’re on a first name basis now). The topic was “Restaurant Secrets,” and to my surprise, most of the discussion and questions […]

LBR 614: A Local Table

March 6, 2012 by rachelocal

Last night I learned a simple equation for an astonishingly good meal: 1 male model + 1 legislative aide (and new friend) + 2 cups of freshly pressed coffee + 1 executive chef + locally sourced ingredients = LBR 614. How does that add up? Read on. LBR 614 is a new restaurant, and I had the pleasure of chatting with Jimmie Sylvester (CEO, owner, and male model) and Jeffrey Bailey (Executive Chef, owner, and genius in the kitchen) at […]
