Community Involvement Paces Growth for Chapel Hill Restaurant Group
By Liisa Sullivan
Founded in 2000, the Chapel
Hill Restaurant Group (CHRG)
serves as a management group
to oversee the operations of
its four restaurants – Spanky’s
(opened in 1977), Squid’s
Seafood Restaurant & Oyster
Bar (opened in 1986), 411
West Italian Café (opened in
1990), and 518 West Italian
Café (opened in 1996).
In 2008, CHRG opened
Mez Contemporary Mexican in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is one
of several restaurant brands operated by Chapel Hill Restaurant
Group. Others include Spanky’s Restaurant & Bar, 411 West Italian
Café, 518 West Italian Café, and Squid’s Restaurant, Market &
Oyster Bar.
MEZ Contemporary Mexican.
The four majority owners are
Mickey Ewell, Pete Dorrance,
Kenny Carlson, and Greg
Overbeck. It has managing
partners at MEZ, 411 West and
Spanky’s, all of whom own a
percentage of their stores.
In addition, CHRG is
currently entering the final
stages of construction of
its newest restaurant, Page
Road Grill, in the Research
Triangle Park. Slated to open
in November, it will be an
American Grill with a southern
twist.
“We
are
approached
periodically to open new
restaurants by developers, but
we like to own our properties
(we own all but Spanky’s),”
Overbeck said. “Instead of
leasing, we take a measured
approach. After we get Page
Road Grill open and operating
consistently, we will carefully
evaluate the possibilities of
developing another property in
the area.”
Marketing Through
Community
“We do very little advertising, instead preferring to
‘market’ our restaurants through
community involvement and
charitable
contributions,”
Overbeck said. “We stage many
large fundraisers throughout
the year, providing food and
beverages and give 100 percent
of the proceeds to a variety
of organizations such as The
Public School Foundation,
SECU House, Mia Hamm
Foundation, YMCA, and UNC
Children’s Hospital.”
CHRG also contributes
food and gift certificates to
hundreds of social, educational,
religious,
and
fraternal
organizations
throughout
the year. In addition, they
allow various non-profits and
community groups to use their
buildings as meeting places in
off hours.

OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2012
Chef Michael Bologna Has Passion for Profession
By Bryan Sullivan
While talent is important, so
also is passion when it comes to
professional success. And in the
culinary field, it’s almost a necessity.
“Be true to your passion and
your profession,” said chef Michael
Bologna, of the critically-acclaimed
Vingenzo’s in Woodstock, Georgia.
“You have to love what you do and
perhaps be a little crazy. Too many
people enter a profession with a
goal in mind, but with no passion.
Without the sincere love and desire,
success will likely elude you.”
Bologna is a New York native
and somewhat of a culinary pioneer;
he introduced authentic Southern
Italian to this historic southern town
and has developed a loyal following
ever since.
From CIA to ’96 Olympics
Bologna is the son of parents who
hail from the region of Basilicata in
southern Italy. They later arrived
in the Big Apple and worked with
food in their own right, which is
where Bologna’s passion for food
was first instilled. Whether at his
father’s butcher shop or in his

Woodstock, Georgia.
mother’s kitchen, Bologna saw his
parents rely on scratch preparation
and locally-sourced ingredients; he
continues to be influenced by those
things today.
Classically-trained
at
the
Culinary Institute of America (CIA)
in Hyde Park, New York, Bologna
was invited to teach there on a year
fellowship. He was only one of 14
out of 1,400 who was asked back to

do so. Some years later, he returned
again to the CIA as manager of
purchasing operations, where he
created and implemented food
specifications for the school. He
then went on to open Nightingale’s
Country Bistro in New York, a
restaurant honored as one of the
nation’s top 25.
In 1995, Bologna moved to
Atlanta. While working in restaurant
concept development, he landed
a job as the food service manager
for the Olympic Village. He was
responsible for catering to top
athletes (more than 10,000) from all
over the world for the 1996 Olympic
Summer games.
Teaching Also a Passion
Bologna has a natural passion
and gift to teach as well as to
cook. He started a professional
culinary school in Marietta – just
north of Atlanta. Today, it remains
a comprehensive education for
beginning chefs interested in truly
making a career in the hospitality
industry. Students not only learn
the skills necessary to master the
classics and express creativity, but
also how to run a restaurant. He no
longer heads it up, but he took the
school from 15 to well over 150 at
its last enrollment. Currently, there
is a waiting list of 200.
Awards & Accolades
Bologna is the recipient of
numerous culinary and public
service awards such as a U.S.
Delegate of Terra Madre, Turin,
Italy for Global Slow Food/Organic
Meetings; a Regional Director for
the American Academy of Chefs,
American Culinary Foundation;
Chair of the American Culinary
Federation Strategic Planning
Committee; and Chair Emeritus

– International Gourmet Products, Inc. We are the market’s most
experienced food service broker, with ownership and management that’s

Mentoring Young Chefs is Key in the Culinary World
By Frederik Lucardie
Some years ago I decided to
pursue another personal goal of mine
and began the journey to become a
member of the honor society of the
American Culinary Federation – the
American Academy of Chefs. It
was a complicated process of many
steps that required dedication and
commitment on my part in varied
endeavors. But I persevered and
was inducted into the Academy in
Anaheim, California, at that year’s
ACF national convention. It was
one of the proudest moments of my
life.
Over the years I have mentored
several of my chef peers into the
Academy. Like me, they viewed
becoming an Academy Fellow
as one of their great professional
accomplishments. Unfortunately,
some of them seemed to hit a deadend at that point and never really
got involved again in Academy
events. Fortunately for me, more of
them continued that commitment
and dedication, and are mentoring
younger chefs who share the dreams
we dreamed when we were younger.
In December, we
will host our first
Academy dinner here
in the Tampa Bay area.
The Academy Fellows
in our chapter, the ACF
Tampa Bay Chefs,
will partner with the
students of Land O’
Lakes High School’s
Culinary Arts Academy
to present a five-course
dinner. I would be hard
pressed to determine
who is more excited
– my fellow chefs and me or the
students.
I will be heading up the entrée
portion of the dinner. My youngest
daughter who graduated two years
ago from culinary school will be
working with me and the students.
It is a slice of heaven for me to
work with both the students and
my daughter. I thoroughly enjoy
the time we spend together in the
kitchen. Working together for an
Academy event is going to mark
some very special moments for us.
Demaris has gone her own way
in the culinary profession since
leaving our restaurant
and is working at a
local hotel as a garde
manger chef. Actually
‘jack of all trades’
would suit her better, as
she seems to be the one
called upon to fill every
position as needed
regardless of how many
hours she has worked
in a day. She worked
almost around the clock
when the Republican
National
Convention
was in town. But she’s young and
she’ll survive just as we all did when
we faced similar challenges.
As with all such events, the
challenges keep popping up and
we keep putting out fires. The
company that was going to provide
the china was unable to deliver due
to a conflict with another major
event. Since we are serving dinner
in a public high school we cannot
serve alcohol, so we’re partnering
each course with a non-alcoholic
wine. By the way, some of them are
actually quite good.
We cannot interfere with the
outlined curriculum of the school
program so we have to work around
it and within it. The students are
more than willing to give up their
free time to participate, so that’s a
bonus. It’s the little things that are
making us all crazy, like not being
able to accept credit cards in a plastic
world because the school is not set
up to receive credit card payments.
To date, my culinary peers are
all working towards the common
good, and egos have been checked
at the door. We can only have one
executive chef and one executive
pastry chef on the menu. Yet we
have six chefs who need to lead
such a dinner to check off that
elective goal on the requirement list
for induction into the Academy. The
two chefs who will lead this year’s
dinner are the two who are closest
to finishing their goals. We will
continue this as an annual event so
the other four chefs will have the
opportunity to work their way to the
top at subsequent dinners.
More importantly, we are all
working with the high school

US Foods Tampa Food Show
Punta Gorda, Florida It’s Fish & More Fish at Whitey’s
Fish Camp in Orange Park, Florida
By Michelle Herrin
Forty-nine years ago, Whitey
and Ann Ham had a bait and tackle
shop. Their family grew to seven
after the addition of five children.
Whitey was in the Navy. He and
Ann found that when the shop was
slow, especially in the winter, they
had to come up with other means
to support the growing family. So
they expanded the bait shop and
began to offer food. They fished for
catfish, and then Ann stepped up to
the plate to cook it.
Small local restaurants along
the water that served fish were
called fish camps, hence Whitey’s
Fish Camp. Whitey’s is located in
Orange Park, Florida, outside of
Jacksonville.
The bait and tackle shop grew
and grew. They added the small
restaurant and then a tavern. This
sufficed until 1988 when a new
restaurant was built. An additional
outside bar area was added in 2002.
Whitey’s Fish Camp now has the
bait shop, a boat ramp, an RV park
that can hold up to 40 RV’s, and
the seafood restaurant. There are
lots of special events and they have
music on the deck with dancing. On
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays,
the music is live. In December there
is a boat parade, where boats are
decorated with lights and a winner
is selected for the best design.
At the fish camp, most people
who come to fish come for the
boat ramp, a fishing license, bait,
tackle, and beer. There are daily
“Bar Happenings” (Beer Pong,
Free Pool, Texas Hold ‘Em, and
Karaoke) and “Dining Specials”
(All-U-Can-Eat and Endless Soup
and Salad Bar). The menu is typical
Florida fish and sides. The fish
can be served grilled, blackened,
broiled, or fried. The catfish (which
is how they got started) is fresh,
wild, locally caught, and served
with two sides. It is usually fried
and served whole.
Whitey’s has its own version
of a blooming onion, The Swamp
Onion, which is served with a spicy
swamp sauce.
Three of the five siblings still
work in the fish camp. Elaine Ham
Cassala and Billy Ham run the
business side. But Billy can often
be seen in the kitchen and in the
restaurant taking orders. Luke
Lawley keeps the fish camp up and
running.
In 2013, Whitey’s Fish Camp will
have been in business for 50 years.
Elaine, Billy and Luke hope to have
special events, special offers and a
huge celebration to commemorate
their 50th anniversary.

Chef Michael Bologna Has Passion for Profession
Conversation with Chef Bologna
What sets your style of food
apart from others in the region?
We prepare and serve traditional
southern Italian cuisine and we
are now a destination dining spot
because what we do is that unique.
Who is your culinary hero? I
have none; it’s about food.
What are three ingredients that
you could not live without? Fresh
ingredients of the day; I can’t live
without what the earth produces
each season.
What words do you want
guests to use when describing
your cuisine? The real thing. What is your most valuable
tool in the kitchen? 10-inch French
knife.
If you could sit down and eat
and talk with anyone about food
who would it be? Young culinary
professionals who have a true
passion for food. This stimulates
my mind and soul. I remain
gratified in my profession through
mentoring – passing on knowledge
– and most importantly – traditions.
solely of libations.
What are some of your most
popular menu items? Gnocchi
with gorgonzola cream sauce and
spinach; Sugo Domenica (slow
braised pork in a tomato sauce); and
house made sausage.
What did you serve for dessert
This is what it’s about for me. I
am a teacher at heart and sharing
means so much.
What would you order as a
last meal? It would depend on my
mood. If it was winter, I might like a
nice comfort food such a cassoulet.
If it was warmer, it may be a supper
at the James Beard House Dinner
in December? A black and white
dessert. It consisted of Buffalo
mozzarella, chocolate mirror glaze
sauce, chestnut honey balsamic
strawberries, and was topped with
crushed macaroons and crushed
roasted chestnuts.
Mentoring Young Chefs is Key in the Culinary World
finest bakers I’ve ever know and my
first teacher at the Culinary Institute
of America, was passionate about
sharing knowledge. Back in my
culinary competition days, he was
one of the most highly respected
judges in the ACF’s stable of
judges. He would always take the
time to stop by my work station
and encourage me. And when the
competition was over, he would
always make time to go over my
presentation and give me advice.
I learned a lot from Joe, both in
school and afterwards, and I know
all his students share my feelings of
affection and respect for him. His
passing left a very large hole in our
culinary world.
students and sharing our knowledge
and skills; mentoring is what it’s
all about. If we cannot share our
knowledge and skills with the next
generation of chefs, what does that
say about us?
I’ve worked with chefs who were
old-school and took their personal
recipes to the grave. As long as it’s
not a signature recipe I’m using at
work or a recipe to which I’ve signed
away rights in a contest, I’m passing
out my recipes to anyone who wants
them. I consider it a compliment of
the highest order when someone
asks me for one of my recipes.
Joseph Amendola, one of the
While I’m no Joe Amendola, I
work to pass on what I have learned
- to my employees, peers, students
(when I was teaching), and my
daughter. I’m looking forward to
the next two months as we enter
the final preparation stage. When
our first Academy dinner is finished
and over with, I know we will all be
able to look back at a job well done.
And, if we’ve sparked an interest in
the Academy in our young students
– that’s just the sucre glace on the
gateau!

Bob Rowe Sales in Miami. He was 83. Bob had an extensive career in the food
business. He started with Armour Meats in 1947, working his way up from the
cutting room to sales. Next was a stint with Howard Johnson’s Ice Cream division,
where he worked as a regional sales manager covering a territory that stretched
from the Carolinas to Texas. In 1968, Bob teamed up with partner Morgan Beaver
and started Rowe and Beaver Sales, a retail/institutional brokerage company. Then
in 1980, Bob started Bob Rowe Sales. Specializing in frozen foods, the company
grew from four employees to 12, and expanded its territory from south Florida
to the central and northern regions of the state. Along the way, Bob started a
cruise line division within Bob Rowe Sales – appointing his son-in-law, Steven
Schultz, president. Bob’s daughter Susan Schultz went to work for the cruise line
division in 1989. (This division will continue to operate under Steven and Susan’s
direction.) Over the years, Bob loved to send out his employees after their Monday
morning meetings with a hearty, “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s make it happen!”
He is survived by his wife Elaine of 62 years, Susan, Steven, and grandchildren.
We must also report the death of Joseph M. Provenzano, formerly with HP
Hood. He was 68. Joe had worked for Hood for five years, most recently as areas
sales manager. He also operated a Bruster’s Ice Cream Shop in Tampa with family
members. Joe is survived by his wife, Judy, four children and grandchildren.
this will stabilize corn supplies and
lead to lower prices. Texas Governor
Rick Perry made a similar request in
2008, but it was denied.
Supporters of the RFS mandate,
which include corn producers and
industry trade groups, believe it
is helping the U.S. become more
energy independent, and to lower
fuel costs and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.
The federal government has
established a comment period to
evaluate the waiver request, and a
decision will be made in November.
No matter the outcome of that
decision, food prices are expected
to continue rising through next year.
USDA is predicting an increase in
the overall food price index of 3
percent-4 percent in 2013, and an
increase of 2.5 percent-3.5 percent
in the food-away-from-home index.
The largest increases are
expected in the prices of beef and
veal (4 percent-5 percent), and
dairy products (3.5 percent-4.5
percent).
“Just about everything is going to
be higher in 2013 with our biggest
inflation concerns being beef,”
said David Maloni, president and
chief commodity strategist for the
American Restaurant Association
Inc. “That said, if we can get solid
corn and soybean crops next year it
could be the start of a longer period
of commodity deflation.”

saying is that it’s difficult for an old
dog to learn new tricks,” Overbeck
said. “We qualify as old dogs, but
we certainly learned some great new
tricks. Establishing the management
company and trusting others to run
the restaurants with our oversight
was the smartest move we’ve ever
made.”
• On-site training: Most of their
executive chefs have completed
Culinary Institute training, but it’s
not a prerequisite for employment.
Most of the kitchen management
