Stella Blu Voted “Best” by Main Line Today Mag Monday, June 30, 2008
[Restaurant Makeover] Stella Blu
Owners Marianne Gere and Kim Strengari have revamped their corner bar into an upscale, non-smoking Italian bistro with a 15-foot bar, less kitschy décor, and a contemporary small- and large-plate menu. Culinary highlights: the clam and mussel pot, fried artichoke hearts with balsamic mayonnaise, and lollipop lamb chops with mint-cilantro yogurt and smoked chili oil.
101 Ford Street; West Conshohocken; (610) 825-7060, stellablurestaurant.com
Bella Luna Pizza Kitchen Voted “Best” by Main Line Today Mag Monday, June 30, 2008
[Whole Wheat Pizza] Bella Luna Pizza Kitchen
At Bella Luna Pizza Kitchen—the latest from Stella Blu/Gypsy Saloon power trio Kim Strengari, Marianne Gere and chef Ralph Pallarino—all gourmet pizzas are available with a whole wheat crust so tasty you’ll never go back to regular. Varieties include the Red Luna, with mixed cheeses, San Marzano tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil; the Luna Clam Pie, with chopped clams and sautéed spinach; and the Full Moon, with goat and other cheeses, prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes and a touch of garlic. 116 Ford St., West Conshohocken; (610) 825-7151
Gypsy, Stella & Bella Chef Voted “Best” by Main Line Today Mag Monday, June 30, 2008
[Culinary Eye Candy]
Gypsy Saloon Chef Ralph Pallarino
We’re not going to embarrass Conshohocken’s favorite chef by sizing him up on looks alone. Anyone who’s ever met Ralph Pallarino knows he is affable, charming, talented and, well, pretty handsome. In fact, his good looks earned him a spot on the Food Network’s Date Plate, NBC’s hit show The Restaurant and the Fine Living Network’s Dinner Date. But don’t take anyone else’s word for it—head over to Gypsy Saloon and request a meet-and-greet. 128 Ford St., West Conshohocken; (610) 828-8494, gypsysaloon.com
Pierre Robert & Hooters voted “Best” by Main Line Today Mag Thursday, June 26, 2008
From July 2008 issue of Main Line Today Magazine…
Q&A: Pierre Robert and the Hooters
This year’s Best Radio Icon gets personal with the creative pair behind our pick for Best Comeback.
Best Radio Icon indeed: You don’t need us to tell you how cool Pierre Robert is. Anyone who’s ever encountered this remarkable WMMR mainstay knows he’s the man—a man of the people. On and off the air, Robert is all about the listeners, which translates directly to his passion for music.
And when it comes to local music, the Hooters have always been one of Robert’s favorite local bands. Headed by Wayne’s Eric Bazilian and Ardmore’s Rob Hyman, the seasoned rock quintet is a uniquely Main Line success story, cultivating its core early-’80s fan base at high school auditoriums and clubs throughout the western suburbs before exploding nationally with hits such as “And We Danced” and “All You Zombies.” Last year’s Time Stand Still, the Hooters’ first studio album in 14 years, cements the band’s “Best Comeback” status, as they continue to play to enthusiastic fans in the U.S. and Europe.
Robert recently sat down with Bazilian and Hyman at WMMR headquarters to resurrect old memories and, hopefully, make a few new ones. (more…)
