What’s Cookin’ Germania Männerchor by: Ashley Sollars
Being the editor of News4U definitely comes with some cool
perks. I get to throw the first pitch at an Otters game, I get to interview
some very interesting and sometimes even famous people, I get to toss weenies…
Err! Back that train up! Weenie tossing?! Yep, this year, I will attempt to
catch weenies at the Volksfest Celebrity Weenie Toss! Sh...

What's Cookin'--Roca Bar on KY Ave by: Ashley Sollars
“The entire N4U
gang was invited in to do some sampling, and they brought out so much food, we
all had doggie bags. My most sincere compliments to Kevin Roberts and his staff
for such a clean and efficient kitchen. (They even have cameras to ensure the
highest quality of food.)”____...

What's Cookin': House of Como by: Ashley West-Albin
When I was told I was going to be sampling Arabian food this
month, I cringed. I usually begin my food reviews with some quirky story of my
past, but Arabian food? No quirky little story here… In my pea brain, I equated...

Whats Cookin': Acropolis by: Ashley West-Albin
A few years ago, I vacationed for a
few weeks in Europe and discovered that though
we share the same “Western civilization” attributes, I was completely out of
sorts. Let me back up a little. If you have never met me, I’m a girly girl and
I don’t like to be inconvenienced or uncomfortable. I don’t ...

Old Chicago by: Ashley West-Albin
When I was in grade school, the school system would bait our
young minds with food, in return for analyzing approved books. This barbaric
system was called “Book-It” and the food that was so highly desired were 1980s
Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas. Man, I would do anything for that round, cheesy,
buttery crusted, skillet-baked, pepperonied piece of heaven, even read books...

Marigold Bar by: Ashley West-Albin & Dylan Gibbs
One of the great joys of frequently eating out is that you
tend to find great food in unexpected places. Of course there are many eateries
you enter, expecting to have a delicious meal because of an established
reputation. An surprising place for a delicious home-style meal prepared by a
lady who is a surrogate grandma, Annie Mae, is right around the corner of
Evansville’...

Quarter Note by: Ashley West-Albin
New flavors and food textures are always welcome to my
palate, as I personally get fed up with lack of variety. The first thing I was
asked when I entered The Quarter Note in Washington Square Mall was if I was a
“salt only” kind of girl or if I could brave venturing spices and flavors that
aren’t readily available in the area. Namely, Cajun-inspired essences were on
th...

Tin Fish by: Ashley West-Albin
"We try to buy locally and support the community by spreading the money around; we are not high-end, we are not pretentious, we are not frou-frou. You can eat a high-end plate, but you can also just get fish and chips" -- Joseph "Larry" Melluso
Ever heard that song, "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me" by Keith Urban? My job consists of chatting ...

MA. T. 888 by: Ashley West-Albin
Have you ever heard the phrase, “presentation is everything?” In the world of food, this statement is only half true. You can be surrounded by the most beautiful settings and feast your eyes on the most gorgeous steak you’ve ever seen, but if the steak is tough and putrid, your experience could be considered jaded.
