Don’t Miss the Fried Chicken and Waffles at The Kitchen
July 30, 2015 by
When owner Stephen Henderson originally opened The Kitchen, the restaurant only had 20 seats. The demand for the eatery's excellent food quickly outgrew their ability to serve customers, and after just two years in business, The Kitchen moved to a new space, with fantastic results.
When you walk in, you’ll be dazzled by the stylish decor, which includes a bronzed tin ceiling, crystal chandeliers, and a leaf-patterned wallpaper that’s stunning. But all this plays second fiddle to the food, which regulars report is out of this world. After you place your order, the chef will send out an amuse-bouche to tantalize your palate. Some of the prime dishes that diners rave about include the dark, flavorful lobster bisque and the grilled veal rib chop with a Gruyere popover. The place’s signature dish, the fried chicken and waffles with buttermilk gravy, is sure to inspire repeat visits to this Englewood eatery.

Beautify Your Bathroom With These Easy Tips
July 23, 2015 by
Did you know that by adding a few homey touches, you can make your bathroom feel much more luxurious? Here are a few ways to transform your rental bath into a spa-quality retreat.
- Add fluffy towels. Investing in a new set of thick, plush bath towels is one of the best things that you can do for your bathroom. If you don’t have a set color scheme, classic hotel white always looks great.
- Incorporate baskets. Add attractive wicker baskets or wooden crates to clear away clutter and add a soft, rustic effect.
- Add fresh flowers. Don’t overlook the bathroom when it comes to greenery. Add a vase of fresh flowers or a low-light plant to help clean the air.
- Add floating shelves. If you still need additional storage, add small floating shelves along a bare wall.
- Light candles. Finally, light some great smelling candles along the bathtub or toilet and settle in for a relaxing bubble bath.
