The gleaming open kitchen, real butcher block tabletops, and the renaming of the restaurant to Kitchen + Farm, all put the emphasis on “makers.” Duskie and John dedicated a surprising 50% of the square footage of the new restaurant to the kitchens so that they and staff can make their own salumi, bacon, pasta, gelati, and more. Also paying homage to the hog is local junk artist Patrick Amiot, whose playful pig’s head sculpture made of recycled oil drums and propane tanks will be installed soon. That honor is commemorated in a large crown sculpture installed above the open kitchen, a focal point of the dining room. Porcine paraphernalia pop up everywhere, reminding guests that Duskie and John are literally the Queen and King of Pork, having won the titles at the Aspen Food & Wine Classic’s Grand Cochon. Barnwood paneling and board and batten counterfaces add to the feeling that the food is direct from the farm. At Zazu Kitchen, a large, U-shaped counter is now the heart of the dining room, made intimate with dropped lighting and long wood planks that mimic a low ceiling.
For Duskie, it was the “heartbeat and warmth” of the restaurant. The renamed Zazu Kitchen + Farm, which opened yesterday, is as open, interactive, and creative as the community itself.Īt Zazu Kitchen, the couple brings their culinary values of “knowing the face that feeds you.” At the former restaurant, a cozy space with low ceilings, Duskie and John loved the long counter where they would spend hours interacting with their customers. When she and husband John Stewart sought a new home for their popular Zazu Restaurant + Farm, they chose The Barlow in Sebastopol, not only because it was a “community of makers,” but because most of the current tenants were longtime friends, such as Kosta Browne Winery, Greg La Follette, and Village Bakery.
