Chef Q&A: Meet Chef Amy Wojcik
Thursday, Oct. 9, 2008
Who or what inspired you to become a chef/baker? I enjoy cooking and you’re supposed to go to school (culinary arts) — that’s what you do! I already had a degree in hospitality management and then followed it with culinary arts to have a well-rounded background. Incidentally, I never did work in hotel management. Full story »

The annotated menu: EVOO Market and Bistro
Thursday, Oct. 2, 2008
If recipes are like blueprints, then a menu is the city skyline — a panoramic view of the chef’s architectural abilities. At EVOO Market and Bistro, the menu is more Naples than New York. There aren’t any skyscrapers, dishes of awe-inspiring imagination. Instead, these dishes are hurricane proof. They may not be flashy, though flourishes pop up throughout, but they are built to weather the harshest of criticisms. Full story »
Let’s Talk Food: The fruit of the gods
Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2008
Bright and brilliant October is harvest time throughout much of the world. Festivals, in celebration of the bounty of God and nature, are held to glorify a prolific and profitable harvest.

Baby, why don’t we go way down to Cocomo’s
Sunday, Sept. 28, 2008
Familiar lyrics start off with “Aruba, Jamaica, ooo, I wanna take you.” You can sing along, as almost everyone knows the first verse to the famous Beach Boy’s song, “Kokomo.” But at Cocomo’s Grill in Marco Island, the essence remains, “We’ll get there fast and then take it slow.” Full story »

Let’s Talk Food: Priciest pork quite a prize
Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2008
Anthony Bourdain is my hero. For years I have harbored the secret ambition to travel the world and sample the cuisine in exotic countries.

The new CJ’s on the Bay
Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2008
When Jacquie and Curt Koon crested over the Judge S.S. Jolly Bridge on Sept. 22, 2007, they cruised through the classic Marco Island entrance, but on that first day of autumn, and on the first day of a new lifestyle, they could never guess as to the excitement of what would happen exactly one year later.

Come Monday... there’ll be a bay view, but no Bayview
Sunday, Sept. 21, 2008
Easy access by both land or sea is seldom found in Southwest Florida. Bayview, on Marco Island, is one of the few waterfront restaurants that offers this convenience. Located in The Esplanade, it is just two miles from the Judge S.S. Jolley Bridge. The view of Smokehouse Bay from this spot will probably never change, but Bayview restaurant will be no more.

Review: Lavish digs, but uneven service, food
Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008
