An Interview with “Best Chef” Hitchcock Owner Brendan McGill
Posted on 19 March 2013.
If Brendan McGill has a “thing” it’s the real thing, as in real food and being a real guy. Sound simple? It is, and yet it’s hard to find in the food(ie) world, where pomp and pomposity often posture as good eats and talent. Localism is a big-time buzz word these days, often paid more…

Posted on 13 October 2012.
3 p.m. The term hero is tossed around loosely these days. But in the case of Bainbridge Island’s Sergeant Julia Bringloe, hero hardly captures it.

by Sarah Lane and Julie Hall, September 24, 12:40 p.m. After being blamed for losing the keys to her former office at the Police Department and after standing up to the City often enough that she will not likely be given the honorary keys to Bainbridge Island any time soon, Kim Hendrickson, the former secretary/chief…

Posted on 29 August 2012.
