America’s Best Bites (4:30 p.m. Saturday, The Cooking Channel), hosted by Natalie Forte, is in
its first season, and Abigail Street’s Chef Dan Wright and his wife Lana
will be featured on the third episode.
Nothing screams artisan or handcrafted
food like a flannel-shirted, tattooed server. Remove the pageantry from
the building, please, and just give us the weird cuts of beef or spruced
up hot dog served alongside a Prohibition-era cocktail.
Chef Daniel Wright, who owns Senate with
his wife, Lana, is Food & Wine’s
People’s Choice for the Best New Chef in the Midwest. He has two hit
restaurants in the hottest neighborhood in town. He is days away from
becoming the father of twins. His mojo is working overtime.
The Gateway Quarter should have its own zip code: Four Five Two Oh, Oh, Oh! Located in the south central area of
Over-the-Rhine, during the past few years the Gateway has become a
dining mecca. It’s home to some of the hippest new eateries in town,
with rampant buzz amongst the Twitterati and lines out the doors on
weekend nights.
