Zoës Kitchen brings a taste of Mediterran­ean good to Goodnoe Corner

- By Cary Beavers

NEWTOWN TOWNpefm - The food comes out fastI but don’t refer to the menu at woës hitchen as fast foodK

The chain restaurant­I founded in Birmingham­I AlaKI has come to NewtownI opening its doors on its doodnoe Corner location jay 9K Their goal is to offer customers the best of both culinary worlds – fast service and good foodK

“We’re fast casualI” said general manager eunter BryantK “We have a quick service mentality with a full-service kitchenK”

Carefully avoiding the phraseI fast foodI Bryant said the restaurant’s priorities are exactly where they should beK

“We try to expedite the serving process so we can spend the most time on our foodI” Bryant saidK ft’s the food – despite the quick service and real silverware and real plates – that has Bryant noticing repeat customers in just three weeks of businessK

They specialize in jediterran­ean goodI which is something Newtown hasn’t had muchI if anyI of yetK

“WH fiOO a niFKH in 1HZWoZn,” BryanW saidK “We don’t have a lot of competitio­n around hereK”

The majority of the food they serveI according to BryantI is made from scratch using raw ingredient­sK Not much frozen in woësI especially not its best-selling chicken kabobs or popular orzo tabuli saladK Other frequent orders are the dreek salad and pita sandwiches­I Bryant saidK

counded by woe CassimusI the restaurant’s calling card used to be its chicken saladI which is still quite popularK After woe’s son took overI the restaurant took offK Newtown is about as far north as the chain has traveledI with other stores in Bryn jawrI Collegevil­le and jarltonI NKgK jost of the other shops are much further southK

woës hitchen continues to use original recipesI including one for vava’s eomemade Chocolate CakeK Evava means “grandmothe­r” in dreekI Bryant saidKF The recipe is really more of a guidelineK eandmade every dayI the cake doesn’t come out exactly the same way twiceK

The store is located at 2U0 pK pycamore ptreetI and is open from 11 aKmK – 9 pKmK jonday – ThursdayI 11 aKmK – 10 pKmK on cridays and paturdaysK To see their menuI visit zoeskitche­nKcomK
