NCJW puts culinary expertise on menu Feb. 10 KRISTEN MOTT | STAFF REPORTER kmott@cjn.org
T
hree local chefs will provide their perspective on Northeast Ohio’s dynamic culinary scene during the National Council of Jewish Women/ Cleveland’s winter meeting at 11:30 a.m. Feb. 10 at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven. The event will feature chefs Douglas Katz, Chris Hodgson and Richard Soren Arnoldi. “We know that the culinary cuisine in Cleveland is really being publicized everywhere and we thought wouldn’t it be great to get some of the outstanding chefs that are known in town and do the event around Cleveland and from their different perspectives,” said Mindi Axner, executive director of NCJW/ Cleveland. “We thought it would be really exciting to feature three different chefs from three different areas of the culinary world.” Katz is the owner and executive chef of fire food and drink in Shaker Square, owner of The Katz Club Diner in
Arnoldi
Hodgson
Cleveland Heights, and chef and partner of Provenance, Provenance Cafe and Catering by Provenance at the Cleveland Museum of Art. “I think chefs contribute so much to local neighborhoods and the community in general in terms of city development and value,” Katz said. “I hope that what’s accomplished is to really hear from each chef on how he contributes to the local community and what our impact is, what it has been and how we can do more.” Prior to opening fire, Katz served as executive chef of Moxie, the Restaurant in Beachwood and worked at several other restaurants, including The Little Nell in Aspen, Colo., and Wildwood Res-
taurant in Portland, Ore. Katz is also a big advocate for sustainable food systems and locally sourced ingredients. He serves as a chef ambassador for the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Cooking for Solutions program, Katz which promotes environmentally responsible fishing and fish farming. “Our ingredients are what make us successful within all of my restaurants,” he said. “I feel like that guides me to make decisions. We work with local farmers and we really care about the authenticity of our ingredients, especially as it pertains to fish. “We really try to learn as much as possible about the ingredients that we have and we’re advocates for our local food systems, for authentic food and for quality.” Hodgson is the mastermind behind Dim and Den Sum, the first food truck to ever travel the streets of Cleveland. After competing on Food Network’s “The Great Food Truck Race” and “Food

Village Diner’s new owner hopes to replicate ‘Cheers’ ED WITTENBERG | STAFF REPORTER ewittenberg@cjn.org
M
arci Izeman, who has a background in catering, is the new owner of Village Diner, at 28149 Miles Road in Orange. Izeman, a Solon resident, bought the diner from owner German Genzelis last fall and took ownership Jan. 5. The restaurant has remained open for breakfast and lunch throughout the transition. “I have always wanted this place,” said Izeman, a firsttime restaurant owner. “It’s small and intimate and you get to know the customers. It’s all home cooking and comfort food, which I love. I love the feel of ’50s diners.” Izeman is the diner’s fifth owner since 2004, when it was launched as Mom’s Diner by Brad Friedlander, owner of Moxie, the Restaurant in Beachwood, and his partners. She said she wants to “make it more known.” “My goal is to grow old here,” she said. “I want it to become a family kind of place, kind of like ‘Cheers,’ where everybody knows your name.” One change Izeman plans to make at Village Diner is to operate her new business, Marci’s Creative Catering, out of the site by this summer. She recently hired a catering chef to help with this division of the business. “We’ll do small dinner parties, private parties, bar and bat mitzvahs and smaller weddings,” she said. “I can’t handle a party for 1,500 people, at least not yet.” Izeman got her start in catering in 1999 as a party planner for Executive Caterers at Landerhaven in Mayfield Heights. “I specialized in kosher catering and did all the Orthodox weddings and religious events, like bar and bat mitzvahs,” she said. Since leaving Executive Caterers in 2010, Izeman has worked at The Bertram Inn & Conference Center in Aurora; a Taste of Excellence, an off-site catering company based in Strongsville; and for Aramark, an international company for which she handled catering for the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Izeman said she isn’t planning any major changes to the menu at this time at Village Diner, where she helps with the cooking. “I make chili, some soups, meat loaf, family recipes – a lot of scratch cooking,” she said. “We cut our own french fries and home fries with fresh potatoes, not anything frozen, and we use real eggs, not powdered or liquid.” Village Diner offers seven different kinds of omelets, including a “create your own.”
“We serve breakfast all day long,” she said. “We don’t do a lot of lunch food; people come here (primarily) for breakfast.” Izeman said her entire family helps out at the diner, including her parents, Arlene and Robert Gross. She’s not affiliated with a synagogue at this time, but added her family has “long involvement in the Jewish community.” Hours for Village Diner are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Izeman said the diner is available to rent for private parties after hours, and it can do specialty menus.
