SPOTLIGHT / BY JULIA RAPP

Four and a half years ago, Dtown Tech was a start up with a questionable future. Today, its a small business that offers quality technology repair services and operates as the hub of Doylestowns community support. According to the owner Blake Lertzman, involvement with the community and an anti-corporate structure are what make Dtown Tech the epitome of small business. The purpose of Dtown Tech is to provide a solution for every single customer that walks through the door, says Lertzman. They offer smartphone and full mac and PC repair. Quality service and building close relationships with customers are of equal importance. The business came about on a whim when a friend of Lertzmans advised him to open a computer repair shop. After finding a space in town with affordable rent, Dtown tech was established. Since then, Lertzman has valued community support and putting a smile on peoples faces. Our customers are phenomenal, says Lertzman. He sees distressed customers come in with technology issues, and leave knowing that their devices will be repaired by the next day. Lertzman also enjoys offering a dose of comic relief. We have professionalism, but were also complete goofballs, he says.

Dtown Tech gives back by supporting other local businesses, donating to area schools, and supporting fundraisers for different organizations. They will be the food and beverage sponsor for the Doylestown Arts Festival this fall and will also support a local schools marching band. Lertzman says that when asked, he never turns down the opportunity to provide a donation that will benefit Doylestown. You got to feed the hand that feeds you, he says. Working in an environment thats busy, and where he interacts with a diverse community on a day-to-day basis, is what makes Lertzman love what he does. Now I have more than I could have ever dream of, he says. | r

ASK THE VET / BY MARISA BRUNETTI, VMD

The variety of pet food today can make choosing a diet for your pet confusing. The media have also presented conflicting opinions that may not be true. The great news is that there are many educated individuals and organizations that can help guide your pet food choices!

Each pet food label is required to have certain factual information; however, labels are also considered marketing tools. The manufacturers name and contact information should be present on the label and consumers should feel comfortable contacting the company. Pet owners should be leery of companies that will not readily give out information. Important questions to ask:

Is the diet tested using AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) feeding trials or formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles?

Is there product research available?

Where is the food produced and does the company have its own manufacturing plant

Does the company employ a qualified nutritionist and who formulates the diet?

What quality control measures does the company use? Is the food tested for contaminants before it leaves the facility?

Will the company provide a complete nutrient analysis for the food so that the amount of any nutrient can be determined on an energy basis?

Is the food complete and balanced, and what life stage is it intended for (growth, reproduction, adult)?

It is important to discuss the answers to these questions and any other concerns you have about your pets diet with your veterinarian. When choosing your pets food, your veterinarian should always be part of the team! | r

MUSIC / FRANK TURNER

Shining a New Light On a Familiar Face

Around this time two years ago, English rocker Frank Turner released his fifth studio album and was about to set foot on a North American tour. Tape Deck Heart, a collection of songs that was spawned from a major break up, went on to become a critically acclaimed record. Today, Turner and his band have recently released Positive Songs for Negative People. Almost ten years into the second phase of his musical career, Turner is going back to square one. Not many bands get here, and many of those that do start

Frank Turner | by Matt Kelchner

Walker has managed to make a name for himself working with high-profile artists. Located in Nashville, he began producing albums for his band The Marvelous 3 around the year 2000. Since then, he has worked with everyone from Weezer and Fall Out Boy, to Keith Urban and Taylor Swift. His duties range from producing to co-songwriting, and everything in between. Turner had a clear idea of the direction the already long written and rehearsed songs would take,

and Walker worked with him to get the most out of him. Butch brought understanding of that approach, expertise, and importantly, the right atmosphere in the studio. Once settled into Walkers Nashville studio, Turner and his band went about things a bit differently compared to their previous studio sessions. Instead of recording each instrument individually, Turner decided to have the entire group play together. Recording like this adds a sense of

sounding comfortable, flabby even, Turner says of those groups that hang around the music world just a bit too long. When he began writing this time around, Turner made it a point to not fall into that pattern. I wanted this record to sound hungry, vital, like a debut. On his sixth release, Positive Songs for Negative People, Turner and his band The Sleeping Souls come out swinging like its their very first album. To achieve his goal, Turner set out to find the right producer. It took a long time to find a producer who understood what I wanted from the album, who was also acceptable to the label, Turner recalls. After going through a fair few other names, I finally ended up chatting with Butch [Walker], and we clicked instantly. The two have a lot in common. Turner and Walker are each living a second life after moving on from disbanded groups and both are singer/songwriters with a collection of their own material. The bond that Walker and Turner shared proved to be key in helping to shape Positive Songs for Negative People. Turner recounts, [Walker] knew exactly what I was talking about. From then on, he was the only person I couldve made the album with.

I dont like to write towards overarching themes, I prefer to let the songs come in the manner of their own choosing.


MUSIC / FRANK TURNER

energy and rawness to the sound, similar to a concert performance. It was just what Turner was looking for with his new album. The band spent just nine days hashing out much of Positive Songs for Negative People. By the time we got into the studio, we were more than ready to record. It was a very easy session in the end.

A FRESH START FOR A SEASONED VETERAN

While making the album may have gone by relatively smoothly, things did not start off that way. I had to fight a fair few battles to keep the album sounding and feeling the way I envisioned, Turner recounts. These kinds of roadblocks in the music world can sometimes result in having entire albums shelved to never see the light of day. Turner stuck to his vision. Its a relief to have it out there, finally, and in the form that I wanted, he says. The outcome is one of Turners strongest to date. Where much of Tape Deck Heart was intertwined with self-loathing and regret, Positive Songs for Negative People acts as the perfect pick me up for anyone down on their luck. I was in a more positive mental space when writing for this record. The previous album was a breakup record, and I came through that, Turner explains, I wanted to move on, both personally and creatively.

From the beginning, the record showcases that wipe the dust off and keep going feel. The second track, Get Better, makes the statement loud and clear with lyrics such as I got me a future, Im not stuck on the past / I got no new tricks, yeah, Im up on bricks / But me, Im a machine and I was built to last. Positive Songs for Negative People acts almost as the ideal counterpoint to Tape Deck Heart. However, this was not the plan from the get-go. I dont like to write towards overarching themes, I prefer to let the songs come in the manner of their own choosing, Turner admits. The closing track, Song for Josh, was written in memory of Washington DCs 9:30 Clubs iconic head of security of Josh Burdette who took his own life in 2013. Aside from the heavy sentimental value behind it, Song for Josh also marks the first truly live track to make it onto the album. It was recorded

at the 9:30 Club, on June 4th, 2014. Turner knew that it would end up on Positive Songs for Negative People, yet he had difficulty placing it amongst the others. Ultimately, he chose it as the final number. I wanted it on the album, and it couldnt really go anywhere else in the running order, he says.

TURNER MAKES HIS WAY TO PHILLY

Turner makes his way to Philadelphia on October 2nd, performing at the brand new LiveNation venue, The Fillmore Philadelphia. It will be the second ever show there, following a sold out opening night courtesy of the legendary duo Hall and Oates. The night will belong to Turner, his band behind him, and his fans who have eagerly awaited new music from their favorite hardcore punk-turned-folk singer. At times, the journey behind Positive Songs for Negative People might not have been the easiest for Turner, but nonetheless hes made it. While it was uphill at times, Im pleased to say I stood my ground, he says. Be sure to check out Frank Turners latest, Positive Songs for Negative People and dont miss him when he pays a visit to The Fillmore Philadelphia on October 2nd! | r

CREATIVE WRITING / BY RACHEL TAFOYA

I was a Nice Girl

I was a nice girl. My name was Chelsea. I had brown hair to my shoulders. Sometimes I put it up into a ponytail because I thought it looked smarter that way, when in reality, your hair has nothing to do with your intelligence. I learned that the hard way. Some people said I was boring. I guess thats why it happened. No one will suspect a boring girl. No one will believe her. She is just a small thing, an unimportant thing. But now, she is different. I liked to take runs along the bike and hike path. I liked to doodle in the sides of my notebook. I liked a boy named Chris. He liked a girl

I ran steady. One two one two one two. My headphones played loud. So I did not hear it coming. It did not sneak up behind me. It did not need the stealth. I was alone and it knew. It was black and red, night and blood. I stopped dead in my path at the sight of it; only its vague outline and eyes visible. It opened its mouth and the woman in my ear buds sang. I turned the other way and sprinted. It followed. Not until I was about to break through the tree line did it catch me. Perhaps at this point, you are thinking it will tear me apart. You are thinking, this is the part when I die. But you are wrong. This is when I am born. I felt digging burning ripping in my calf, and then I was being pulled backward. My face hit the path and one of my ear buds popped out of place. To my left, I heard the beautiful crooning that I loved to run to. To my right, I heard the sound of a nightmare come to life. It pulled me into the woods, off the path and I screamed. But we soon slipped through a hole in the world that brought me into an earthy den. My screams died in the air. The creature was a woman. No, the creature used to be a woman. She stood, hunched, her long black hair in front of her eyes and her ragged nails bared. Her eyes were red coals. Her body was naked, but for the filth

that coated her skin. Her muscles bulged. Her teeth were too big for her mouth, and her lips were bloody and cracked because of it, as if her teeth were still growing. Now, she said. Now it is your turn. And she dissolved into ash. A pain took hold of me, starting at where she had apparently dug her nails into my leg. The pain was knives my eyes. It was the arm I broke in 2nd grade, it was waking up in the middle of my wisdom teeth removal, it was staring at Chris kissing Brit, it was telling my parents I was thinking about taking a year off of school. It was hell. It took me a day to crawl out of that hole. And a month went by. The pain begins to creep back. I feel it in my leg. It urges me to run. It pulses in my nails and under my skin. It is my long lost friend. It asks me questions. Who has hurt you, Chelsea? And I tell it all my secrets. And it asks me another question. Would you like to hurt them back? And then I know, its time to go. | r

named Brit. Theyd been dating for six months, which in high school meant forever. Now I know the true meaning of forever. Sometimes Chris would catch me staring and I would blush and turn back to my notebook and hope that he was still looking. I think maybe he thought I was pretty. A pretty boring girl. Not good enough to leave Brit for. I went for a run on Tuesday the 2nd. I didnt come home until Wednesday the 3rd. Something happened to me. I told the cops that I didnt remember. But the truth was that I didnt want to remember. But I remembered it all. It was like this:

She stood, hunched, her long black hair in front of her eyes and her ragged nails bared. Her eyes were red coals. Her body was naked, but for the filth that coated her skin.

FURNITURE / STENELLA ANTIQUES

A Family History in Furniture | by Jake Bracey

In the early 1970s, Jim Stenella Sr. began selling small antique fixtures out of the living room of his familys Chestnut Hill, PA home. He stocked an array of glassware, dishware, and small antiques. What became peculiar, however, was that his customers often seemed far more interested in the furniture and display cases that they items resided on. Once this had become a fairly regular occurrence, Stenella started selling furniture. He caught on quickly and, due to a family history in dealing antiques, opened Stenella Antiques. Stenellas is now one of the most renowned furniture dealers in the greater Philadelphia area. The

business, now run by James Stenella Jr., is a classic success story. Located in Perkasie, PA, Stenella Antiques has a massive showroom and warehouse that spans almost 30,000 square feet. There is truly something for anyone that enters the showroom. On top of the wide variety of of high-end items that they carry in-store, Stenellas is one of the original pioneers of online furniture sales. In 2000 they were one of the first furniture dealers to begin selling their pieces on Ebay. Every item that is currently on the sales floor is also listed online and can be shipped anywhere in the US. Stenella Antiques reputation has spread

They sell Chippendale, Duncan Phyfe, Queen Anne, Sheraton, and Hepplewhite; styles that cannot be found in any modern furniture store. They also include some traditional French and continental pieces in the showroom. The rare pieces that they offer, compared to other antique furniture dealers, built Stenellas sturdy reputation. Their hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:30pm, and Saturdays from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Stenella Antiques is the only place that features both rare and beautifully-curated pieces, and a unique and personal sales experience. While they offer the convenience of having their entire stock available for purchase online, the showroom is truly a sight to see. | r

as far as Russia, New Zealand, and Japan. The global acknowledgement of Stenella Antiques comes from consistently offering excellent brands and pieces, their quality of service, and their knowledgeable staff. A showroom grown from humble roots, Stenellas approaches serving their customers like family. Entering the showroom is a one-of-a-kind experience. Any person will be greeted with a friendly hello and guidance to what he or she might be looking for. Stenella Antiques in its current form focuses mainly on selling items made by high-end and much sought after furniture makers.

Stenella Antiques is the only place that features both rare and beautifully- curated pieces, and a unique and personal sales experience.

COVER ARTIST / THOMAS DUANE

Thomas Duane began pursuing painting when his band fell apart. Dissatisfied with his career in graphic design, and inspired by the murals in Boulder, Colorado, Duane found his way to the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. Eight years later, the former guitarist and graphic artist is showing at the Jeffrey Meier gallery in Lambertville, New Jersey. In each of his series, he uses multiple works to simultaneously contrast and relate opposite styles of art or play with perspective and spectatorship. Duane is also interested in the effect of technology on appropriation. Duane, now 37, uses what he calls his copy, cut, paste technique. He says I see the process as kind

by Jocelyn Moye

Thomas Duane I see a lot of my process relating to how we use technology.THOMAS DUANE

of relating to how we use technology, but I just physically, literally, employ it in these paintings. While Duanes copy, cut, paste method does not involve digital technology, it mirrors the method of appropriation that is digitally accessible. Technology has become what Duane calls a universal monster. Any image or work, copyrighted or not, can be duplicated and displayed with the functions copy, cut, and paste. All it takes is a few clicks of a mouse. Technology inspired Duanes Universal Monster series. In these paintings, he uses a literal monster. Ive taken the Universal Studios iconic image of Frankenstein, he says. I thought it fit what I was doing with

my process and with the work. The usage of the Frankenstein the icon encompasses both the monster that is the Internet and a copyrighted image. In Duanes paintings, Frankenstein is painted on different sized canvases and each piece is cut differently. Universal Monster is a large single cut, with the top and bottom of the image reversed. Another work, Universal Monster Cuts 19, uses nine smaller images of Frankenstein displayed together. The monster is rearranged nine times, each canvas bearing one more cut than the last, and each image losing and gaining something different as it is reused. Much like the copying, cutting, and pasting of images on the Internet, the iconic image of Frankenstein loses some part of its origin depending on how it is manipulated and displayed.

Duane sees Universal Monster as an endless series, much like the unstop ability of digital technology. Daunes copy, cut, paste technique developed three years after he moved to the Philadelphia area. He was painting regularly, but felt unsatisfied with his work. After cutting up a few paintings, Duane threw the pieces on the floor. I was looking at cut up paintings, he says, all of a sudden, they became way more interesting. Duane experiments with combining different pieces of paintings that he feels are polar opposites with single cuts. In one series, he painted realistic and abstract pieces and displayed them as if they are part of one canvas. Each piece uses a similar palette. Duane sees it as an interesting way to view realism and abstract art. Its the same material, its oil paint, he says, I dont think one is better than the other. People who favor either camp will see a similarity between both pieces, perhaps something that they like in each. In his Mash Up series, Duane studies one section of a well-known work and repaints it. He then pairs the piece with another painting that he feels is completely different, yet bearing some visual similarity. His From Gericault to Lichtenstein shows one piece of Theodore

duanethomasartist.tumblr.com


Gericaults Limbs, a painting of dismembered body parts, and Roy Lichtensteins Wham, a comic book-style image of a plan crash. Duanes replications of the pieces focus on small sections of each painting that have a visual similarity between the form. The toes in Gericaults painting of dismembered limbs are a similar shape to the fire Lichtensteins graphic painting of a crash.

Duane often paints in black and white, which he learned from New Hope artist John Murdock in Gold Light Studio. Murdock uses the academic art approach, a 19th century technique where students paint only with black and white. Leaving color for the final stage of study, artists focus on representing highlights, mid-tones, and shadows to build each form.

Duanes series of black and white paintings bears a commentary on how technology affects the way that people view film on the Internet. We watch so many clips, he says, often short pieces of longer works where the overall narrative does not come across. Duane watches black and white films on YouTube, takes upwards of two hundred screen shots, and paints two or more black and white images. Applying his copy, cut, paste technique to these pieces, Duane sees it as a reflection of how films can be viewed on the Internet in pieces. By rearranging pieces of multiple paintings, Duanes work shows the average persons interaction with thirty-second clips of lengthy narratives. The paintings, like clips, are not meant to tell a full story. I dont want it to be a narrative. Thats not whats important about these paintings, he says, you just know that theres a scene happening. One piece, titled Who is She? arranges images of a womans face and her form from a distance. A man in a mid shot is shown with

a look of surprise and intrigue on his face. Each subject in the painting is looking at the spectator, yet it is apparent that the woman has provoked the mans expression. Like a film clip, there is not much else that comes across. The presentation of multiple perspectives is also used in Duanes horror inspired pieces. His series of vampire paintings, Bite #1 and Bite #2, interchange several cut pieces of two paintings: one featuring a vampire with bloody fangs, and another showing the fearful expression of a human. The spectator witnesses the perspective of both the predator and prey all at once. The years that Duane spent working creatively with others, in advertising and in a band, cut out parts of his own creative process. The influence of others standards left something to be desired. With painting, I dont have to work with anybody, he says. I think that suits me best. Painting gives him the freedom to follow his instincts, where cutting up an unsuccessful piece forms a dialogue on the relationship between the use of images and technology. Duanes first solo showing, a two week residency in August at the Jeffrey Meier Gallery, culminates in a group show for the duration of September. The show will also feature the work of the gallerys other summer residency artists Matthew Marquis and Jason Mones. | r

BLOOD OBOEIntrODuctIOn By caL BEDIEnt

What can I assert about Douglas Piccinninis poems when they take such great care to dismantle assertions, piling their bits into a heap? Assertions are made with words, and

from this heap he gives them back to the world his way, and he knows what hes doing. George Oppen said, if word A must be next to word B, GET it there. Piccinnini

always does, according to the mystery that his ear recognizes. One way of grieving/a dethroned self is through the creation of a nugatory poetic universe where no dark

night is blunted but there is always an unlit match, which is to say, meaning.

Stacy Szymaszek, author of Hyperglossia

The discrepancy between what is possible and the void is here made to rub up against itself again and again, where the match that is not lit inside your pocket suddenly

blooms into a grieving flame and is given away (then taken back) in an act only language can accomplish. Here is where language simply wont be forced to story but

gossips around its centers and edges, backlit in stark, bright, virtual, singing delirium. These poems show me what we lie next to: proprioception in late digital avarice, but

also the mind and the poem (in their vibrant, native ontological enquiries) as avaricious as the world.

Eleni Sikelianos, author of You Animal Machine

James Merrills Marsyas might be the most fitting text for the back of this at once bewildering and clarificatory book, not because the poetry here is anything like

Merrills, but because Douglas Piccinnini seems a descendent of that ancient, flayed musician who happened upon a way to make music and then paid for it. I like that

its enstranging cadences.

A CLOSER LOOK / DOUGLAS PICCINNINI

by Krisy Paredes

Douglas Piccinnini

Lambertville resident Douglas Piccinnini lives in the fluid world of a poet. He is constantly refining and redefining his craft. Motivated by an acute

awareness of what he calls the cultural value in writing, reading, and storytelling, Piccinnini is certainly doing his share to preserve it. The New York City native has been awarded residencies by The Vermont Studio Center, Art Farm in Marquette, Nebraska, and The Elizabeth Bishop Society of Nova Scotia. In 2014, he was selected by Dorothea Lasky as a winner of the Summer Literary Seminars for Poetry. Three years after leaving New York City, Piccinnini has written two collections of poetry and prose, Story Book (The Cultural Society, 2015) and the soon to be published Blood Oboe (Omnidawn, 2015).

Story Book is an episodic novella written in a series of first chapters. In Story Book, I wanted to achieve an emotional arc through a series of narratives, says Piccinnini. I wanted to explore the possibilities of storytelling, in the way that the mind often archives memories: out of chronological sequence, missing facts, fallible, nostalgic, haunted. The novellas often-unnamed protagonist is the same throughout the book. At every attempt to tell his story, the narrative begins at a different point in the timeline of his life. Each chapter comes close to conclusion but ends before any type of resolution is reachedhis story constantly resets itself and begins again as the next chapter: Chapter 1. Blood Oboe, his first book of poems, took almost a decade write. In that time he wrote hundreds of poems that would never see the light of day. In Blood Oboe, my work as a poet is concerned with musicin creating a striking, perhaps unsettling lyricism of unrest. The poems in Blood Oboe dwell in loss of faith, in frustration of the vanishing pastoral, and the new currency of the digital age. Above all, says Piccinnini, the emotional core of my work is concerned with time:

Writing the Past, Present, and Future

its passing, its presence, its future and how people are capable of accessing the past, the present and the future by merely thinking, he says. Piccinnini began to give serious attention to writing in 2004 at Rutgers University. While there, he studied with playwright and director Ken Urban, and poetry with poet and scholar Alicia Ostriker. She was one of the first people who encouraged him to send out his work. In 2007, he followed Ostriker to New England College to work on his MFA in poetry. She was part of a faculty that included Gerald Stern, Carol Frost, Brian Henry, Eleni Siklians, Ilya Kaminsky and Paula McLain.

In New York, Piccinnini ran the Crowd Reading Series, called Caf Orwell at the time. Later, with poet Niina Pollari, he founded the Popsickle Literary & Arts Festival in Brooklyn. Now in its sixth year, the festival aims to unite Brooklyns array of reading series, publishers, and literary organizations into one weekend-long mega-reading. Every six months or so, Piccinnini would travel up to Henniker, New Hampshire to the campus at New England College to meet with his professors, talk about his work, see what his classmates were up to. There was a river there that we went swimming in at night after the faculty readings in the summer. Thered be a lot of drinking and socializing. A lot of the other students welcomed the time away from their friends, jobs, and families to arrive at the bucolic setting of New Hampshire and play poet for a few weeks, says Piccinnini. Back in New York, Piccinnini had his other education. All over the city, there were readings to go toplaces to see people read their work and talk about art. He went to readings about 2 or 3 times a week and started going to The Poetry Project at St. Marks Church in the Bowery. You could really learn a lot by going there if you paid attention, he says. Piccinnini also took classes with Vito Acconci and Anselm Berrigan at The Poetry Project. He found that being there made you aware of the

history and future of the art-scene in New York. And it wasnt about getting famous or meeting the right people, it was about the community

there and making good work. Piccinnini continues to consider himself a student. In Lambertvillein Hunterdon County, my education continues on, he says. He credits the Hunterdon County Library as a literary source and, one of the great joys of my life here. When I asked why he has chosen to write poetry, Piccinnini implied that it was not a choice. He is drawn to poetry because it is language that is inconspicuous. While prose can hide, go unnoticed in the service of the story, poetry is flamboyant in its attempt to capture the attentionin every placed and misplaced word. Piccinnini adds that these things are realized not as much by the artist but the times they are living in. Writing should be of the times and above the times, to see whats going on and see around a corner (in some sense) at the same time. Piccinninis first memories of writing come from common experiences of the American childhood. He says, The first writing I remember was making a kind of booklet about Nintendo when I was in second grade.

In it contained whatever insight my second grade mind had about Nintendo, which were accompanied by my own illustrations. I tried to sell these little magazines to my friends says Piccinnini. The first stories and books of his youth were from the Bible. He thought of them as a text full of fantastic wisdom, of mystery and of violence. Some of the first poems he learned and he had in memory were prayers. The other poems were pledging allegiance to the United States and holiday songs. Now, he adores the imagination of John Ashbery, the compression and music of Emily Dickinson, the silence in compositions by John Cage and Erik Satie, the brevity of Lydia Davis prose. Piccinnini is currently finishing a manuscript of poems entitled Grave Year Soul and has begun working on a novel called The End of My Life So Far. When asked about his future aspirations, Piccinnini replied to continue writing and avoid repeating myself in my work. To use writing as a means of exploring my selfhood and the human condition. Piccinnini is traveling to the Bay Area to read at Moes Books in Berkeley, CA and Book Passage in Corte Madera, CA. In October hell be in New York to read at McNally Jackson and at Poets House in anticipation of his first full-length book of poems, Blood Oboe. | r

The Peruvian sampler is an option for anyone unfamiliar with the cuisine. It is a combination of yucca fries, causa limea, palta a reina (avocado stuffed with chicken, vegetables, and mayonase), and solerito (quinoa with queso fresco cheese and olives). The standout item on the sampler is the causa limea, a chicken and vegetable stuffed potato cake with lemon flavoring. The papas, a potato stuffed with meat, offers the surprising combination of black raisins and olives in the filling. Ceviche is a popular Peruvian dish. It is served cold with white fish that is cured in lime juice. The ceviche chifa, white fish with pickled vegetables, wontons, and peanuts, draws on Asian influence in Peruvian food. This ceviche yields variations on flavor based which elements you pair in your spoon. The Egoavil familys passion for Quinoa has sent them back to Peru for culinary and restaurant management studies at Dgallia and Le Cordon Bleu. Egoavils mother, Carmen, already had a gift in the kitchen, but she saw the opportunity to study in Peru as a way to further her culinary instincts. While Jack considers himself more familiar with the front of house, he traveled to Peru this past winter for five months of culinary study. He admires chefs who can easily imagine new dishes and hopes to further stretch his ability to see the possibilities in the cuisine.

Egoavil uses his imagination often with Quinoas menu items. He designs unexpected or healthier twists on traditional Peruvian food. Using his bachelors in Biology and Nutrition from Penn State, he plans on labeling gluten-free items and offering quinoa as an alternative to rice. Egoavil also plans on re-introducing the restaurants popular Salsa Night, and starting a BYOB community art event in the near future. You have something as a project, Egoavil says about Quinoa, you see it come to realityits a dream come true. While the Egoavil family dreams of more ways to bring their culture to Bucks County, Quinoa already has much to offer. | r

FOOD & DINING / QUINOA

While pursuing his masters at Delaware Valley University, Jack Egoavil designed a concept for a Peruvian restaurant. Drawing on dishes from his culture, he called the project Quinoa. After graduation, Egoavil was a restaurant health inspector in the Bucks County area. When Buffalo Grill was closing its doors on Easton Road, he saw the opportunity to bring one of his dreams to life. Egoavils family, already the owners and staff of the Mexican restaurant El Tule in Lambertville, split their time between the two locations. The family saw an opportunity to do more than just introduce patrons to new flavors. They wanted to create a cultural experience.

While El Tule is heavily influenced by the culture of Jacks Mexican brother-in-law Said Anguiano, Quinoa draws on the Egoavil family history. Each dish is something that we had at some point in our lives, says Egoavil. The family traveled throughout Peru while they were still living in the country and sampled the foods of its different regions. They immigrated to America in 1992 and would open El Tule in 2010. While patrons are often familiar with the Mexican dishes on the menu, Egoavils goal with the Peruvian food is for people to try anything on the menu. In the short time that Quinoa has been open, Egoavil has seen the community embrace unexpected dishes.

Each dish is something that we had at some point in our lives.
