This is not your average walk-up-counter, Stryofoam-to-go box kind of barbecue joint. Chef and owner Mike Jones opened his approachable but elegant Texas-style barbecue restaurant in early September, expanding his repertoire from the long-time vegetable-forward Mizuna to include slow-cooked, smoked meats a couple blocks down the street. It’s casual but refined, with black cloth napkins, white dishware and table service. The dining room is warm and inviting, done in red brick and wood. Plenty of natural light comes in from a pair of skylights overhead as well as a front wall of glass. There’s a lodge- or saloon-like feel, but the Western-style ambiance isn’t overdone. Brisket is an early top-seller. But Austin’s Live Fire Barbecue also specializes in wood-fired, spice-rubbed pork ribs, pork shoulder, pork belly and chicken. Jones had the kitchen built out to accommodate a large custom-made smoker with three pits with weighted lids. Sides include smoked Gouda mac and cheese, sweet potato fries or braised greens. Don’t skip dessert. Jones asked his mom for an old family recipe for pecan pie “that’s better than any pecan pie that I’ve ever had in any restaurant. It’s been passed down by her mom and her mom.” It’s $6.95 a slice. 421 W. Main Ave. (509) 290-5851.

Fanton’s menu is a cavalcade of carefully executed crowd-pleasers that recalls Eastern Standard: raw bar, charcuterie, pastas, local seafood, roasted and grilled meats and a couple of sandwiches. It starts with four choices of pristine raw oysters ($3 each), delicate fluke crudo ($11) brightened with vivid citrus accents of pomelo segments and blood-orange juice, and Jonah crab cocktail ($12) rendered as an easy-to-share plate of picked claw meat with a subtle mango/lime dressing. Crispy head-on shrimp ($9) deftly combines a generous portion, unoily fry job, lightly kaffir lime-spiked aioli dip and batter that conceals the heads—don’t tell your squeamish friends and they might unwittingly learn why that flavor is so superior to headless. If you’re not yet tired of Spanish octopus ($13), the version here boasts lovely char and a delicate, moist chew.

“About 10 years ago, a co-worker kept twisting my arm to grow these things,” he said. “He eventually brought a plant into work one day, put it on my desk and told me to take it home and plant it. I was somewhat dubious about it at the time; after all, it’s kind of a silly hobby. People don’t eat these pumpkins, and they take up a huge amount of space in your garden. I generally set aside 1,000 to 1,200 square feet for a single plant, which translates into a 30-by-40-foot plot. That’s bigger than most people’s gardens.”

Cut the feta in similar size to the watermelon. Place them both on a large, shallow bowl or platter. Add in the torn parsley and chopped mint.

Adam Hegsted’s newest restaurant celebrates one of his favorite, local, natural ingredients. Honey isn’t found in every menu item at Honey Eatery & Social Club – but almost. The Scotch egg is served with honey mustard. The house burger comes with honey-bacon jam. The pulled pork sandwich features honey-vinegar sauce. The Honey Fried Chicken is topped with honey butter. The cedar-cooked Idaho trout includes a honey glaze. Breakfasts come with toast with honey. Anyway, you get the idea. Entrees are contemporary, fun and elevated comfort foods at approachable price points – something for which Hegsted is known. The eatery, located on the main floor, is open for breakfast, lunch and (very) early dinner. It offers an eclectic, boho-chic vibe. The ceiling is high and tan-painted pressed tin. Chairs are metal and colored orange, yellow, white and black. Stained glass evokes honeycomb. Murals on the walls feature flowers and a honey bee. The subterranean tapas bar and lounge, or social club, is open evenings. The focus here is craft cocktails and small plates. The ambiance is more intimate than upstairs, with low lighting and a low-slung ceiling, exposed red brick and dark, tufted armchairs. 317 Sherman Ave., Coeur d’Alene. (208) 930-1514. honeyeateryandsocialclub.com.

Watermelon seeds are high in calories, agreed. But do you where most of those calories come from? Turns out, most of the calories which come from watermelon seeds come from healthy fatty acids. One cup of watermelon seeds give your metabolism the kick it needs and nourishes your body with essential nutrients as well. However, they still are high in calories and eating too much of them can induce weight gain so be mindful of your portions.
