A Time to be Thankful

NOVEMBER 2017

T

hankful: it’s a word that gets tossed around a lot this time of year as November arrives and 2017 begins to draw to a close.

And although it typically marks the winding down of the year, November is also a season of beginnings. This month begins the season of giving and the season of receiving.

It begins the season of family gatherings and time spent with friends. It’s the month of Thanksgiving Day parades, Black Friday shopping, mom’s traditional holiday dinners and naps on the couch when you’ve had too much turkey ... or casserole ... or pie …

But, perhaps most importantly, it’s the beginning of a season of reflection and gratefulness.

While we’re incredibly thankful for all of the food, wine and family time November brings—food and wine is this month’s theme, after all—here at Hendersonville Lifestyle, we’re truly thankful for you and the time you spend reading us each month.

When we fill this magazine each month with local events, locally-owned businesses and inspiring members of the Hendersonville community, it’s because we’re thankful for everything the place we call home has to offer, and for you—the readers and members of this community—who continue to inspire us to make every issue of this publication special.

Thank you for taking the time to join us as we strive to connect you with your community through meaningful words and beautiful photographs.

I want to give a personal thanks to my editor and freelance writers for all they do each month to make this happen and special thanks to contributing photographer and writer Rick Murray for his hard work in assisting me each month to bring you a great magazine.

And to you, our readers, take some time to think about what you’re thankful for this November. May you find gratitude in the little things, and may the list of what you’re thankful for go on forever.

OCTOBER 17 DECLARED GOLDEN APPLE DAY The Hendersonville Chamber Foundation declared Tuesday, October 17, Golden Apple Day to celebrate and honor Hendersonville area teachers. In recognition of this proclamation, the Hendersonville Chamber Foundation hosted a celebratory event for teachers from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Bluegrass Yacht & Country Club.

Several years ago, the Hendersonville Chamber Foundation created the Golden Apple Grant program to promote education in the greater Hendersonville area. The purpose of the grant program is to help teachers address unique needs or to develop creative new programs which advance teaching and learning within the guidelines of their schools. All approved grant projects must fit within established school missions coincide with the goals and objectives of the school or school system. Although projects may focus on a single teacher and classroom, teams supporting grade or discipline-wide results are also supported, as well as schoolwide projects.

To prepare for the event, Hendersonville Area Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Kathleen Hawkins requested community support through the contribution of personalized notes and greeting cards expressing gratitude toward local teachers. Also, area businesses and citizens were encouraged to donate gift cards and door prizes to provide to teachers during the Golden Apple Day celebration.

The Chamber foundation is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm of the Hendersonville Area Chamber whose mission is to provide educational resources to the Hendersonville community. Fundraising for the foundation is obtained through personal and business donations, advertising sales for the Portrait of Hendersonville and the annual Freedom Festival event held every July 3.

TURKEY

AND “DRESSING” THANKSGIVING LOOKS FOR WOMEN AND MEN ARTICLE JACKIE MEWBOURNE

I

t’s that time of year again as we get ready to gather together with our friends and loved ones to celebrate Thanksgiving and all that

we are grateful for. We joyfully prepare our traditional dishes of sweet potato casserole and pumpkin flavored everything. We make room for out-of-town guests and stock our liquor cabinets to brace ourselves for those family members we see once a year.

Once the big day has arrived to eat, drink and be thankful, we scratch our heads wondering what to wear. Most often it’s a casual affair with the focus being on family and friends, so I’ve rounded up three looks for both men and women to help take the guesswork out of your day.

OWNER, CA SA VIEJA–AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE SERVED BY FAMILY TO FAMILY

Two of the most popular eateries in Hendersonville

share a common name: Casa Vieja. Casa Vieja offers authentic Mexican cuisine served in a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. Owned and operated by Hector Salazar and his brother, Jaime, the restaurants are routinely packed with customers eager to enjoy authentic Mexican food and drinks served by enthusiastic servers.

Hector Salazar began his restaurant career more than 25 years ago in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. From Hopkinsville, he and his family moved to Lebanon, Tennessee, and then Tupelo, Mississippi, before opening the first La Terraza restaurant in Nashville in 2000. After several years in business with La Terraza, Hector and Jaime Salazar partnered with another investor to open the first Casa Vieja restaurant on East Main Street in Hendersonville in 2007. The original restaurant was followed up by the opening of the second Casa Vieja eatery, located near the Hendersonville Walmart, in 2012.

The son of a dairy and pork farmer in Mexico, Hector learned the value of hard work at an early age.

His father “taught him how to work long hours and that nothing is given to you," he says. "You must work hard and appreciate the things that you have. Ultimately, you must make your own way in life.”

After moving to the United States, Hector began his career as a busboy and a waiter before finally earning a spot as a restaurant manager. While working as a manager, he and his brother saved as much as they could to accumulate enough money to open a restaurant of their own.

"We are very blessed to be in Hendersonville," he says. "We are especially grateful for our customers who have become a part of our family. Without our customers and our family, Casa Vieja would not exist.”

When asked what distinguishes Casa Vieja from its competition, Hector responds that “it is our atmosphere, our people and our food. We use the best possible quality ingredients, including prime cuts of meat, poultry and seafood.

We strive to be just a little more authentic than the rest of our competitors. Our service and our cuisine sets us apart.”

Josh Woodham MANAGING PAR TNER, THE CHOP HOUSE– FINE DINING IN THE CITY BY THE LAKE

Hendersonville’s rapid growth over the past decade brought in many restaurants offering a wide range of cuisines. Although they provided local diners with new choices, none of them offered the intimate, fine dining experience so often found in larger cities. That void was filled with the opening of the Chop House Steakhouse on Anderson Lane in 2007. Serving entrees ranging from steak burgers to prime rib and soft cut pork chops, the Chop House has become one of Hendersonville’s most popular eateries.

The Hendersonville Chop House is managed and operated by local restaurateur and managing partner Josh Woodham, who came to Sumner County in 2011.

Woodham started in the restaurant business when he was “a 15-year-old kid in high school washing dishes at a Shoney’s.” After college, Woodham decided to stay in the business “because restaurant work was something that he liked and that he could do well.”

Around the same time, he went to work for the parent company of the Chop House chain, Connor Concepts.

After spending several years with the company in various positions, Woodham was given the opportunity to manage the Hendersonville Chop House.

When asked what he loves most about his business, Woodham says “I love the excitement, the rush that you get when you get busy–the adrenaline gets flowing when I am working alongside people in a teamwork environment." He then adds he “enjoys executing our plan every day. From maintaining clean facilities to greeting our guests with a big smile at the front door, ensuring that their salads and entrees come out on time and correctly–if we can do all of these things right every day, then we will come out on top.”

According to Woodham, the key to success in his industry goes far beyond the traditional elements of great food and service. He states “a lot of people think that we are in the food business, but the truth is, we are in the people business. We are relationship-driven and we always have to build new bonds with our customers and our community.”
