KINSMOKE

The barbecue craze has come to Healdsburg in the form of KINSmoke,
a casual barbecue-meets-sports-bar restaurant in the old Center Street
Deli location on the east side of the Plaza. The eatery serves carnivorous
favorites, from ribs to shoulder, pulled pork and more. Sides include tater
tots, hush puppies, slaw, potato salad and other Southern mainstays.
KINSmoke also pours a number of beers-some local, some (much) more
far-flung. Its name gives a nod to the owners first restaurant, the popular
KIN in Windsor. Even if you just swing by for a smell, it's worth a visit.

NEW ROOMS AT HOTEL HEALDSBURG

ASIAN FUSION COMES TO TOWN

Rooms inside the chic Hotel Healdsburg have received a makeover, and the
result is something sharper and snazzier than ever before. The new rooms,
which debuted in February, are the result of a collaboration between Myra
Hoefer Design and David Baker Architects. Modernized accommodations
boast custom cowhide benches, linen-slipcovered chairs, silk and wool rugs,
as well as reclaimed wood bedside tables. Paintings of clouds, unique to each
room, play off of white walls and pale green-blue shutters. An oasis on the
bustling square.

Asian food always has been hard to find in
Healdsburg; hopefully Persimmon will change
that for good. The Persimmon restaurant opened
in January with a Vietnamese-accented pan-Asian
menu that features a variety of finger foods (think
dim sum) and noodles. Executive Chef Danny Mai,
who fled Vietnam for the United States during
the 1980s, also offers various kinds of pho, the
popular Vietnamese noodle soup. Interestingly,
the financial backers of this eatery are the Diaz
brothers, the same family that owns Agave,
El Farolito and Casa del Mole-some of the most
popular Mexican fare in town.

NEW CHEF DUO AT SPOONBAR

AL
L

It took two chefs to replace Louis Maldonado, but Spoonbar, inside the H2
Hotel, now has a co-executive chef duo at its helm. The chefs, Patrick and
Casey Van Voorhis (pictured below), are a married couple who met as students
at the Culinary Institute of America and have spent quality time in the kitchens
of San Francisco's Acquerello (where Patrick was the executive sous chef) and
Jane Bakery (where Casey focused on bread). Their plan is to revamp the
menu with more of a rustic Italian focus, featuring items such as rye gnocchi
and roasted carrots with prosciutto. Healdsburg's roster of Italian eateries just
got deeper.
