Ben Fullelove – owner of the Petrol Station and the soon to be open Brash Brewing at 510 W. Crosstimbers Rd. – said some-one recently called him the Godfather of Craft Beer. He eschews the title the same way his right hand brewer Vince Mandeville doesn’t like to be called a master brewer.

“Chicago is an example of a city with a rich craft beer culture and Houston is at the start of one,” said Fullelove. “We just want to help push the scene along.”

Come March, Fullelove and Mandeville will be doing their part with the opening of Brash Brewing Company, in a 13,000 square foot building tucked behind the concrete remains of the first Houston Whataburger.

Fullelove’s wife Sacha found the building for sale online. “I almost signed a lease on Pinemont but this is a little more

rol Station regulars that Fullelove jokes he’s thinking of putting in a gate. It would surely be welcome.

A “big party” is planned for April but first they need to con-centrate on the opening. Due to permitting delays, their original summer opening was pushed back. After a recent meeting with a city inspector, Fullelove and Mandeville are hard at work re-tooling their boiler room.

Mandeville, who worked for 11 years in all aspects of produc-tion at St. Arnold Brewery before leaving in 2014, said he was part of the move from the original St. Arnold’s location to Lyons Avenue.

I drove down to Galveston this past weekend to take part in Mardi Gras festivities. The streets of downtown were painted in green, gold, royal purple and beads. Lots of beads. I don’t know if I’ll ever understand the fascination with the bead throwing and acquiring, but there is one thing I did under-stand. The food, and more importantly – King Cake. There was a sweet old lady selling her home made King Cake at the parade Saturday night.

What’s in a name? For one thing, a lot of discussion about it on social media regarding the newly opened Kathy’s Myti-Express inside the Dr Gleem Car Wash at 3103 Ella Blvd.

The new Express is a separate entity than MytiBurger on 43rd St., which Kathy Reynolds-Green closed in 2012 and then sold shortly thereafter to Shawn Salyers. After she closed the restau-rant she told The Leader that she was staying on part-time as a consultant. Salyers told The Leader in 2012 that he wanted her involved so “I can do it right.”

Art ValetA Margarita a Day will keep..

Nibbles, from P. 1B

Occasionally, people just pop up on my “radar,” over and over again. I first met my friend and artist Diane K. Webb in this manner, first at a group show hosted by metal sculptor Mi-chelle O’Michael at The Foundry, one of Houston’s original artist studios, and then at receptions and open studios. Webb already “knew” me; that always startles me.

What is evident from that first meet-ing and still remains true, is Webb’s paintings are as vivacious as her atti-tude toward life!

My most recent unplanned visit with Webb was at the 10th Anniversary cel-ebration of Winter Street Studios. I had no idea that she moved into a new stu-dio, which took me a minute to get over my jealousy, as it has a roll-up door and small deck, an unheard of combo in an art studio in town. Once I could focus again, Webb gave me a tour of her latest work, which is the focus of her solo show opening this Friday evening.

Born in Maine, Webb is the middle generation of three genera-tions of visual, literary, healing and performing artists. Webb is also a theater director and curates art exhibitions in thematic co-ordination with Stark Naked Theatre’s plays each season. She has exhibited her paintings, installations, and curated work in solo exhibitions and group shows in Houston and throughout the U. S. and Canada.

Surrounded by three generations of creatives, it is no surprise that Webb uses as her inspiration for her current solo exhibition, the emotional journey of the poem, “Everything” by Pulitzer Prize winner and American poet, Mary Oliver, from the 1990 collection, “House of Light.” Oliver is best known for her very descriptive visualization of nature.

“No doubt in Holland when Van Gogh was a boy…” wrote Mary Oliver in “Everything” where she focuses on the light or

the lack thereof, echoing in its depth the human journey of the psyche. From the simple physical pleasure of childhood to the adolescent drive toward meaning, the challenge and despair of identity, the lost-ness and final remembering, returning to a deep-er and richer light.

Webb is best known for her color rich paintings that capture ideas and translate them into abstract visual elements, as she states of her painting approach in this series: “Using the palate of Van Gogh, referenced by Oliver in her opening stanza and in-spired by the painter’s tireless attempts to demonstrate the light, I approached these twelve pieces working light against dark. Each piece began with selected words from the poem cut into the still wet gesso followed by layers of light, dark, light, dark, ochre, umber, ultramarine, yellow and alizarin.”

I definitely will keep Webb on my radar now, and you can too. Webb works out of Studio C6 at Winter Street Studios and can be found at the 2nd Saturday open studios. Her website, which has the big paintings that I men-tioned is diannekwebb.com.

Insensible Light, at M Archi-tects, 1206 Nance St. in Houston, 77002. The opening reception, featuring an artist’s talk at 7:00 will be held Friday, February 20, 6 to 9:30 p.m. The exhibition will extend through March 27, 2015.

Cohen is the founder and manager of First Saturday Arts Market. Con-tact him at [email protected] or visit him on the web at ArtValet.com.

Well, a margarita a day will definitely keep something away or maybe just make you late for work. It seems like there’s a dedicated day for just about anything these days. National day for pizza was earlier this month. There was even a day dedicated to Random Acts of Kindness earlier this week. So if you missed the pizza and you didn’t pay it forward, you have another shot in celebrating. On Sunday, Feb. 22, it’s National Margarita Day! A whole day dedicated to margaritas. So drink up, just don’t be late to work.

National Margarita Day on Sunday

Spiciest Margarita6 - 9 p.m.

A few bars over on Washington are taking part in a spicy margarita challenge and they want you to be the guinnea pigs! Margaritas will be made with jalepeno infused El Jimador tequila. Spicy! The competition will be at the following places. TQLA - 4601 Washington Ave., Liberty Station: 2101 Washing-ton Ave., Benjy’s: 5922 Wash-ington Ave., and El Tiempo: 5602 Washington Ave.

Don Jose 5305 Antoine Dr. 77091 Happy Hour: Sun. ALL DAYSomeone recently spoke about this neighborhood favorite as

the place to catch up with fam-ily and friends, eat and most importantly, drink a margarita. Happy hour is all day on Sun-day!

Green explained that when she purchased the restaurant in 1988 after working there since 1973, there were five other MytiBurger restaurants and each one paid for the right to use the name. While she didn’t operate a true franchise, Green said she paid a monthly fee for the name rights.

She said she has registered Kathy’s Myti-Express with “the State of Texas” and also talked with the original owner of MytiBurger about the use of the Myti-Express name.

Current 43rd Street Myti-Burger owner Shawn Salyers is lauded by many for resurrect-ing the iconic burger joint as well as for the things he does to benefit the surrounding community.

Salyers chose to limit his comments about the new res-taurant. In online comments, he said he had an agreement regarding the use of the My-tiBurger name with the family who runs the other remaining restaurant by the same name, which is in Spring Branch at 9405 Kempwood Dr.

As for Green’s decision to use the ‘Myti’ name on her restaurant?

“I am disappointed,” Saly-ers said. “We’ve worked really hard to rebuild this business and be part of this commu-nity.”

There were those on so-cial media who said the issue should be a “private, business matter” between the two par-ties and those who thought that the “impression the busi-nesses were affiliated” created

a serious case of misrepresen-tation.

As for Green, she is prepar-ing for a March 14 grand open-ing.

“I am just trying to make a living and provide a service,” said Green.

of cake with the baby is asked to continue the festivities by providing the next King Cake. Originally, king cakes were a simple ring of dough with a small amount of decoration. Today’s king cakes are much more festive. After the rich Danish dough is braided and baked, the “baby” is inserted. The top of the ring or oval cake is then covered with de-licious sugar toppings in the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold.

Mardi Gras is here with Fat Tuesday kicking off earlier this week. When researching and talking about finding King Cake in the area, two places are the crowd favorites on Yelp and social media.

The Boil House606 E 11th St., 77008713-880-3999It’s no surprise that this

seasonal Cajun eatery is a top spot for ordering King Cake, they specialize in Louisiana crawfish after all. The Boil House crew brings over King Cake from a staple venue in NOLA, called Joe Gambino’s Bakery. The bakery bills itself as the ‘King of King Cakes’ and has been in the business since 1949. These king cakes are made by hand daily with a sweet, special recipe where Danish dough and infused with cinnamon swirls through-out. The king cakes are then iced with classic fondant icing and topped with purple, green and gold sugar. There are op-tions for ordering online with Gambino’s bakery, but The Boil House will take care of that for you. The Boil House

will open from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 20; 12 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21; and 12 until sold out on Sunday, Feb. 22.

Three Brother’s Bakery4606 Washington Ave.

77007713-522-2253If you’re looking for some-

thing made in house, Three Brother’s Bakery is an area fa-vorite. The bakery is going on five generations so they might know a thing or two about King Cake and tradition. On the bakery’s blog, they speak of their love for this sweet holiday and the tradition that goes along with it. But the bakery also says that they love new creations and new tradi-tions. A new addition to the Three Brothers Mardi Gras lineup: Cheesecake King Cake. This new confection is a Three Brothers Bakery original and features Cheesecake on top of their traditional King Cake at the bottom. A new-meets-old

treat that is sure to be a crowd pleaser with the family, office or maybe just for you.

Business Spotlight

It’s easy to see why Cristobal Mexican Grill & Bar consider their restaurant a “family establishment.” Owner Junior Cris-tobal runs the restaurant with the help from nearly all of his close relatives, including his brothers, his sister-inlaw, father, wife and his mother.

Cristobal first took over the restaurant, located at 11031 Northwest Freeway, just over five months ago. His family had previously owned a restaurant in Acapulco, Mexico, and many of their dishes borrow from cuisine most familiar to them from their homeland, particularly seafood dishes.

“It’s traditional in Mexico to have a family-run business like this, but we take great pride in ours especially,” Cristobal said. “We’ve always known about the best ways to make this kind of food and even when we were kids we had a passion for work-ing in the kitchen.”

Among some of the more popular items for customers in-cludes the restaurant’s mole negro and their special margari-tas, the latter of which is available for free for those who are visiting Cristobal’s for the first time. Also as part of a current promotion, customers who eat at Cristobal’s five times will also be eligible to receive free food on their next visit.

Cristobal’s Mexican Grill & Bar is open 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call 832-849-0947 or 832-849-0955.

Business SpotlightPie Five Pizza opens in the Heights

By Jonathan [email protected]

Heights residents want-ing a quick pizza fix may find all they need at the recently opened Pie Five Pizza on Yale Street.

The self-described “fast-casual” pizza chain opened several new locations in the Houston area in January, in-cluding a location in Katy and in the Heights, at 107 Yale St. The chain is not unlike other fast-casual chains like Chipo-tle, where people can custom-ize their dishes to their liking in a manner of minutes. Pie Five, however, promises a personal pizza in five minutes or less.

Thus far, the restaurant has been well-received by cus-tomers in The Leader area, and the Heights location cur-rently maintains a four-and-a-half star rating on Yelp with seven ratings. Adam Schmidt, Pie Five’s National Marketing Manager, said the chain has taken off recently with loca-tions opening up around the state and beyond. Much of the appeal comes from the chain’s emphasis on fresh ingredients.

“All of our dough is made fresh here, aside from the glu-ten free dough,” Schmidt said. “All of our pizzas are com-pletely customizable and the price is always $6.99.”

Schmidt said there are a few exceptions regarding the pric-ing, including a toddler-sized pizza at a few dollars less, and a cheese pizza that has a $1.50 discount. The chain also offers salads in pizza dough bowls and side salads along with the usual pizza offerings. A bundle deal with a personal pizza, drink, salad or dessert costs about $9.

While customers are free to customize their pizza how they choose, other creations are available, including Pes-to Chicken Alfredo, Buffalo Chicken and a Farmer’s Mar-ket pizza among other offer-ings. A variety of crusts are also offered, including artisan, classic pan, whole grain and gluten free.

Schmidt said the Pie Five concept has continued to evolve and things like online ordering are currently be-ing experimented on. Calling ahead for orders still might be tricky, however.

“Take-out, or call ahead, is complicated because it’s a 50-50 answer,” Schmidt said. “If they’re really busy here and you’re just looking for one or two pizzas they probably can’t accommodate you. But if you want to order 10 pizzas at a time well ahead of time they might be able to, but it’s at the restaurants discretion.”

For more information about Pie Five Pizza, visit www.piefivepizza.com.

Contributed PhotoThe inside of the recently opened Pie Five Pizza in the Heights is not unlike other similar, fast-casual chains like Chipotle - only at this establishment, pizza is on the menus.

Keynote SpeaKerS The Leader’s 2015 Senior Expo is just a

few weeks away and we don’t want you to miss it. Our expo is designed to bring in community leaders and businesses to talk about issues that are important to you. We will have speakers attending to help with health care concerns, including the impact of the new Affordable Health Care Act, and what it means to Medicare. Professional finance planners will be in attendance to help you take that dream trip or manage your fixed income, and attorneys who will talk to you about any legal concerns you might have.

But this won’t be all serious business, ei-ther. We’ll have a breakfast in the morning and lunch in the afternoon. The best part is that it is all free! All you have to do is regis-ter with us and let us know you’re coming. Call us at 713.686.8494.

We hope you can make it!
