LIFESTYLE LETTER

Welcome autumn!

October 2022 PUBLISHER

Missy Gurley | missy.gurley@citylifestyle.com PUBLICATION DIR ECTOR

Melissa Curtis | melissa.curtis@citylifestyle.com

Cullman’s annual Oktoberfest celebration is coming to a close and the Cullman County Fair is about to begin. These are things that signal the beginning of autumn in our hometown.

As we all know, October can be a little bit late summer, a little bit fall around north Alabama, as far as temperatures go. But as far as activities, events, food and drink, Autumn is truly upon us, and we are here for it!

Friday night lights are ablaze across our communities, with high school football teams, cheerleaders and bands leaving it all on the field. And coming up quickly will be what is, to some, one of the most festive holidays of the year: Halloween! There are many, many family-friendly events planned for the little ones, including the always popular Spook the Lake! on Smith Lake.

While we step out of the brutal heat of summer and welcome the cooler winds of autumn, we look to familiar comfort foods and drinks to get us in the bonfire, flame-orange leaves and snuggly sweater weather frame of mind.

Think delicious, hearty chili (maybe served with a twist?), hot apple cider (or perhaps something with a little kick?) and decadent desserts like warm apple pie or crumble. Maybe it’s a good thing we’ll have on our comfy layers!

Kick back and enjoy this issue. Take time to relax and maybe try one of the featured recipes. Autumn is here, and we’re so glad you are, too!

SLEEK, MODERN STONE SETS THE TONE ARTICLE BY WENDY SACK PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY BECKY SHERER

Discover Jasper’s Granite South

Beautiful, unique, sustainable. That’s what you’ll get when you allow Jasper’s Granite South to help you renovate or build your dream kitchen.

Specializing in granite countertops, the locally owned business was founded in 2018 and offers more than 100 slab options in natural and engineered stone.

Owner Becky Sherer said, “Granite has eye-catching grains and is the most durable of all stones. Quartz is a non-porous, manmade, engineered stone. For the most part, the slab will match the sample. Quartzite is a natural stone with no connection to quartz. This is the best of all worlds because it looks like marble but performs like granite. Marble is the softest, most delicate of all of the above. In my opinion, there is no substitution for marble. It’s a timeless look. I tell my clients, ‘As long as you know what you are getting and understand how to treat it, you will be fine.’

Marble has been used in many historical buildings and withstood time. But, if you expect your tops to be perfect, marble is not the choice for you.”

16

H OM E U P DAT E | HOM E + DE S I GN

As for what’s in style, Sherer said, “The Calacatta quartz look with long, linear veins has started dying down. I see a lot of black coming back. My other favorite stone is called Nero Mist Honed; it has the look of soapstone but is a granite. It is at a great price point, and like a marble is super timeless. We are also seeing a lot of quartzites being used, with colors ranging from Taj Mahal to Calacatta quartzite and Mont Blanc.”

It's not just beautiful materials that make Granite South unique.

“We try to treat every customer like they are the only one. I don’t want to do just one job for my client, I want to be a family staple. I want to build a relationship. It’s not about just making a sale; it’s about treating each person how I want to be treated,” said Sherer. “The layout of a slab is, in my opinion, the most important part of the fabrication process. We do all fabrication in house and by hand. I feel like the quality of a hand-fabricated top is far better than a machine-fabricated one.”

Black stone is making a comeback.

This quartz countertop shows the beautiful detail of the stone.

LOCALLY BREWED ARTICLE BY WENDY SACK PHOTOGRAPHY BY MISSY GURLEY

Step up for a cold one at Goat Island Brewing

Mike Mullaney, 2022 Cullman Oktoberfest Burgermeister, poses for a photo at Goat Island Brewing.

LOCA LLY SOU R CE D | FOOD + BE VE RAGE

G OAT I S L A N D B R E W I N G

Goat Island has about 13 beers in regular rotation, plus one-off specialties and seasonal varieties.

Goat Island Brewing has been a local favorite since it opened in 2016.

The Bavarian-style Oktoberfest lager is available from August-October.

Goat Island’s tap room offers light eats to go along with its many beers.

Mullaney recommends, for a beer connoisseur, all of them! But especially the Thrill Hill Vanilla Porter. And for IPA lovers? Goatopia.

No matter what, Mullaney said, Goat Island is in Cullman to stay.

“We are never going to move the brewery to a different city.”

- Mike Mullaney You’re probably familiar with Cullman’s Goat Island Brewing. You might know president and co-owner Mike Mullaney. Maybe you got to know him better when he stepped into his lederhosen as 2022 Cullman Oktoberfest Burgermeister.

His duties included appearances, talking with schoolchildren about Oktoberfest and Cullman’s German heritage, photos and generally being a good sport.

Mullaney said his journey to founding Goat Island started as a home brewing hobby. “We had a little intermediate step with the Blue Moose Cafe, and then we went full-fledged and started planning for the brewery in 2014 and opened it up in 2016,” he said, mentioning co-founders Brad Glenn, John Dean and Gery Teichmiller.

Goat Island’s tap room has been hopping ever since.

Its beers are wildly popular, and not just locally. “We've won several statewide awards, but the biggest award that we've won was at the national level. Our Dunkel, which is a dark German lager, won a silver medal at the Great American Beer Fest in Denver,” said Mullaney.

“We made a very fortunate decision in late 2019. We purchased a canning line.

Before that, we were basically just a draft brewery. In 2020, when Covid came along, all draft beer stopped, all restaurants and bars stopped, and canned beer in grocery stores and package stores took off,” he said. “We were able to pivot and never missed a beat.”

Goat Island distributes across Alabama, Georgia and the Florida panhandle.

“We want to be a regional brewery,” Mullaney explained. "We’re very focused on expanding our distribution. We love the tap room, and it’s a big part of our business. I don't know if you've seen our stage lately, but it's pretty amazing.”

No matter what, Mullaney said, Goat Island is in Cullman to stay. “We are never going to move the brewery to a different city,” he said. “We’re all Cullman boys, so we aren’t going anywhere! Someday we might consider opening a second location, but right now we have our hands full with the current brewery location.”

Alabama-based chef Jonathan Harrison

‘This is how I imagined my life’ MEET ALABAMA CHEF JONATHAN HARRISON

Jonathan Harrison is all about lending a hand.

The Alabama-based private chef who competed in Chef Gordon Ramsay’s “Next Level Chef,” making it to the top 10, recently traveled to Poland with the nonprofit World Central Kitchen, which provides meals in response to humanitarian, climate and community crises.

“We went with World Central Kitchen to help feed the Ukrainian refugees, and we made 2,500-4,000 meals a day. We just did what we could to make people's day a little brighter,” said Harrison. “We were 12 miles from the Ukrainian border, in Przemyśl. At one point the trains

were dropping off 60,000 people a day in this little city of 40,000. It was amazing. It’s such a beautiful country, and the food was incredible.

Experiencing Eastern European cuisine was very cool. I really enjoyed my time there and getting to give back and help as much as possible.

“It was probably one of the most formative experiences I’ve had, at 30, to have your perspective rocked so much. I got to meet a number of refugees with some pretty intense stories. I plan on working with World Central Kitchen whenever needed. I met people from Spain and Vietnam and the UK and France and people from one end of this country to another. Everybody was there with this common goal, and there was one positive goal in mind. You were there to bring light, positivity and hope to somebody else. It was a fulfilling thing to do, while filling someone else's cup as well.”

Harrison said cooking for others is his love language. He loves cooking, but he also loves seeing the smiles and the effect it has when people taste his food.

“We're all given different gifts, different things we can or want to do. I think the best way to use those gifts or those desires is to help other people and to affect other people positively with those things. We have to use that skill for good whatever way we can. If that’s me cooking you a steak, I really don't see the issue,” he smiled.

In the months since his stint on “Next Level Chef,” Harrison has been busy with business clients in Birmingham and families on Smith Lake, to name a few.

Of his personal chef gigs, he said, “My goal is to make life a little bit easier for you. I want to make your vacation an actual vacation where you don't have to think about what to cook, the store, or what's coming up or what you need for dinner or lunch or breakfast. You don't have to get up and press ‘go’ on the coffee pot; I'm there to do that for you. I think people really enjoy it because it really does take just such a large part of the day off their plate.”

Harrison is aware he’s living his dream.

“When I was a kid, I pictured myself being someone who flew places and did this. I try to be as present as possible. I think it's so important to look around and acknowledge where you are. This is how I imagined my life. I'm trying to stay as cognizant of that as possible,” he said humbly. “Last year, I would've given anything to be doing what I'm doing now. And I’m not even close to where I want to be yet. I’m still working on it!”
