LIFESTYLE LETTER

The Foodie Edition

October 2022 PUBLISHER

Amber Smith | Amber.Smith@CityLifestyle.com EDITOR

Kristen Wojdan | Kristen.Wojdan@CityLifestyle.com

If I had to name a few of my greatest joys in life, food would be one of them! I love the way food draws people together, takes us back to our childhoods and makes experiences that much more fun and memorable. From popcorn at the movies and pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving to trying a new restaurant for date night, food has a unique way of fostering joy, comfort and community. This is by far our most decadent edition of the year and you are literally in for a treat, no pun intended. If you were like me in the past—someone who rotated between favorite spots but had the desire to venture out and try new things—then this edition is for you. We have had the pleasure of meeting numerous restauranteurs in Frederick and have been blown away by the level of class, creativity and care. We hope the heartfelt stories, recipes, local guides and more inspire you to expand your culinary horizons! Whether meeting friends at that cool new spot you have been curious about or celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month by trying one of Centro Hispano de Frederick’s recipes, we encourage you to branch out and have some fun. Time around the table with loved ones is priceless. Lower the lights, put on some music and toast to the things that matter most. As always, thanks for reading and we look forward to seeing you around town.

Stone Heart Bakery

While studying European bread baking at Montgomery College, Ronald apprenticed to a master baker at Sutton Place Gourmet in Bethesda. He came to Stone Hearth Bakery in 2005. One week after the owner said he was thinking of selling, Ronald bought the business. He accomplished his American dream! Although Ronald expanded the offerings to include a wider variety of European breads, one of Ronald’s specialties is sourdough bread. It’s strictly made from his own starter resulting in loaves loved by aficionado visitors from San Francisco. StoneHearthBakeryllc.com As you expand your collection of foods, there are two Frederick shops that can enhance your meal. Lebherz Oil and Vinegar Emporium can offer some interesting suggestions for your side dishes. Oil and vinegar don’t just come in standard flavors, nor are they solely used for salads. Here you’ll discover some new options. LoveOliveOilVinegar.com

Lebherz Oil & Vinegar Emporium

You can find another source of inspiration at The Spice & Tea Exchange of Frederick. Talk with Keith about your collection of foods so far and discover which of the myriad of spice options could wrap it all together. Maybe some tea, too. Keith Campbell-Rosen was so hooked when he walked into a Spice & Tea Exchange several years ago that he opened his own Exchange in Georgetown. He chose to move his business of individual and in-house mixes of teas and spices to Frederick a few years later. Keith says Frederick has offered better foot traffic, better space, a better building and location, a better life. He loves it here and his store exudes that homey feeling of good tastes. Here you’ll discover an array of spice blends for nearly any global cuisine. If you’d like, you could purchase individual fresh spices in whatever quantity you need. It’s the perfect place to get that tiny bit of something for a unique recipe. SpiceAndTea.com/Frederick Wander down to Carroll Creek and over to McCutcheon’s Factory Store for sauces, baking mixes, honey, jams and LOTS more. Check out the recipe for their apricot jam to use with a pork tenderloin you may have purchased earlier. McCutcheons.com

“My dad just said, ‘Hey, I need your help’…so I was not going to leave him all by himself…I hopped on board to help him out. I started in the kitchen and my love for food just grew from there.”

Welcome to Lucky Corner, a family-owned Vietnamese restaurant bathed in elegant dim lighting and savory aromas. With graceful light fixtures dotting the ceiling, plush leather booths to sink into and calm, friendly staff to serve you, one step into this place is a step into a state of relaxation and phenomenal hospitality. Lucky Corner has more than earned its raving reviews from locals and visitors alike, but the journey here was certainly a long, hard road. The story begins with a family, looking for a fresh start and better prospects. Hailing from Vietnam, Pha Huynh and his family were headed to the United States to pursue their dream. Traveling by boat and with two children, the voyage was a risky one—and with the youngest crying nonstop, they had to make an impossible decision: get caught and face the consequences, or split up and try the longer route when the time was right. They chose the latter, leaving son, Trung Huynh, and mother, Ha Duong, in Vietnam while Huynh and his daughter made their way to the States. It took ten years, a season as refugees in Thailand, two more failed voyages and persistently hard work on Pha’s part before Ha and Trung were finally able to join their father and sister. “...my father migrated here when he was younger with my sister—empty-handed—and just worked his way to where we are today…I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my father, who did all the paperwork and got my mom and myself over here,” Trung shared. But that hard work and perseverance has led Pha Huynh to far more than a joyous reunion with his family in their long-awaited destination. With a catering business back home in Vietnam, cooking has always been a family affair, and Pha

Huynh wasted no time putting that experience to work when he arrived to his new home. He went from taking dishwashing positions in restaurants to earning his title as an award-winning chef with the luxurious Grand Hyatt Washington hotel. As he continued to embark down the chef path, his skills were sharpened and broadened—along with the types of cuisine he became familiar with—and a burgeoning desire to open his own restaurant was revealing itself. Pha began searching for the perfect location to pursue this dream, but heavy competition and expensive rent led him to continue his search. As he made his way northward through Maryland, he finally stumbled upon the original Lucky Corner location on 7th and North Market that was for sale. It was just what he’d been looking for! From then on, Pha and his wife, Ha, worked hard to transform Lucky Corner into something of their own by resolving preexisting issues and introducing new items and systems—but they didn’t keep the hard work to themselves. In fact, it seems diligence runs in the family, as that’s what lured their son, Trung, into the business. “I did not want to get into the restaurant business…” Trung explained. “I was just trying to pursue a career in business management…but then my dad just said, ‘Hey, I need your help”…so I was not going to leave him all by himself…I hopped on board to help him out. I started in the kitchen and my love for food just grew from there.” With hard work and service instilled in him through the example of his parents, Trung set his future plans aside to support the family business when they needed him. Now, they’re a local favorite.

Fast forward 16 years to today, Lucky Corner is housed in a bigger, better location in Westview Village with Pha Huynh, Trung Huynh and Ha Duong all still working tirelessly to make Lucky Corner stand apart from the rest— and it shows. Guests come back on repeat for consistently delectable Vietnamese and pan-Asian meals and incredible service to match. Having accumulated a rating of almost 5 stars out of nearly 1,000 Google reviews, the perseverance, excellence and diligence of Pha and his family are so evident you can taste it. You can taste it in their perfectly-sweetened Vietnamese coffee, their melt-in-your-mouth cubed steak and potatoes, their satisfyingly crispy spring rolls and their expertly pan-seared Chilean Sea Bass. But that’s not all that makes them special. “...We’re almost like a one stop shop. I say that because over the years, we’ve learned from different customers to see what kind of food people like—so trying to cater to all different ethnicities…that way they’re happy when they come in because they know they can always find something on the menu that they’ll enjoy,” Trung explained. Lucky Corner aims to serve something for everyone. They proudly serve everything from pan-Asian favorites such as Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice, to Vietnamese specialties like Coconut Beef and Caramelized Pork, to Lucky Corner novelties like their Cubed Steak and Potatoes or Black Pepper Shrimp and Scallop. When you dine at Lucky Corner, you’re not just grabbing a bite to eat. You’re supporting a family whose endured the impossible to get here, and they continue working with diligence to deliver the best. LuckyCornerRestaurant.com

Meet Tim Jones

Bronx-Born 5-Star Chef Turned Faithful Frederick Foodie ARTICLE BY ARLISS VELDHUIZEN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY KRISTEN WOJDAN CONTINUED >

OCTOBER 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM / F R E D E R I C K

Frederick is awesome. We think so, you think so–and though we’re biased, it’s not just us. People who visit our city from far and wide rave about its charm, its diversity, its up and coming downtown and its blossoming cuisine scene. Some love it so much they go from visitor to resident. That’s just what happened for the distinguished Chef Tim Jones, and of all the places he’s seen and lived, it looks like he intends to make his forever home here in Frederick. Born and raised in the Bronx, Tim always knew he wanted to pursue a career in the food industry—and it was all thanks to his mother, an extraordinary chef who cooked with skill and heart. “...my mom really instilled in me a passion for food because she would always get so excited about anything we would cook…” he shared. “My mother was just a good cook in general, and that inspired me to be a good cook because it would make her so happy—it would make me happy—to cook things and see people respond…” And she didn’t just cook for family. She cooked for many friends from many different backgrounds, each of them unknowingly inspiring her to branch out beyond a single type of cuisine. “My mother just embraced everybody’s culture which inspired me to get more into food; we had friends who were Puerto Rican, so she made good Puerto Rican food…she had friends from Yugoslavia and she’d figure out to make the food that they would make…there was nothing we didn’t eat in my house,” Tim recalled. This passion and skill for cooking that was second nature to his mother was contagious for young Tim—so much so that he dove headlong into the food and hospitality industry as soon as he could. Circumventing New York City’s law that doesn’t allow anyone younger than 16 to work in restaurants, he purchased a folding bike at 14 years old and made the long trek to his first job at Nathan’s in Westchester County. He was going to get into the industry one way or another—and things have only gone up from there. Today, Tim is entering into a new role as the Senior Executive Chef for George Washington University in D.C., overseeing all food service to campus students, faculty and guests. Between five dining halls and 7,000-9,000 students, he’ll certainly have a tall task– but he’s more than prepared for it.

LOCA L LIM E LIGH T | L IFE + CULTURE

Graduating from the renowned Culinary Institute of America at 20 years old, Tim has had a successful and colorful career with an impressive resume. He earned his place as the youngest-ever Banquet Chef at the famous 5-star Diamond Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. He has worked everywhere from New York restaurants to opulent Four Seasons, Hilton and Hyatt hotels. He ran the kitchens of the University of Nebraska Medical Center and worked as Executive Chef at large Midwest casinos. Most recently, he was the director of food and beverage for Washington Nationals Park, and now he transitions into his new position with George Washington University. You could say he’s experienced it all, and he’s been everywhere. And out of all these places, Frederick stole his heart, and we can’t say we don’t see why—all bias acknowledged. Upon graduating from culinary school, his mother moved to St. Louis and worked in real estate, but when the market dropped, she was on the hunt for a new home. She ended up finding that home in Frederick, along with his sister, Timika—and that’s what drew him here. “I was in New York and I was missing my family...and I said, ‘You know what? Let me move back to where family is,’ and I decided to move here to Frederick and slow down my life a little bit,” he shared. “We always liked Frederick, because Frederick is a very diverse community, where it’s multiracial, multicultural, it’s got a very good, thriving, exciting downtown community that people are engaged in, and a lot of activities…every weekend there’s something going on that’s hospitality, food and beverage related that’s exciting…Frederick has become my home and I truly love living in Frederick.” And of course, food is an important factor. Some of his favorite spots? Here’s what he had to say: “...I love Thatcher and Rye—one of my favorites to go to…Sardis has the best chicken—I’m addicted to it, and last but not least, Jerk and Jive. I love their oxtails. Frederick has come a long way with the food scene and the food is very diverse and eclectic!” We’re glad to have such an esteemed chef and awesome human in our community, and we’re excited to see where his culinary skills will continue to take him.
