The Buoy Bar, known for its excellent seafood and creative cocktails, did not see the light of day quickly. It spanned over 90 years, having slowly evolved from its humble beginnings as Scotty’s Fishing Station.

“Scotty’s Fishing Station started it all in 1929,” says Jeane Magan, Managing Director of The Buoy Bar and a member of the five-generation family business.

She says Scotty’s was more of a marina, where people could pick up bait and gear and rent boats.

“Over time, Scotty’s slowly evolved and focused more and more on food and drink,” recalls Magan. She adds that until 1999, when The Buoy Bar made its unofficial debut, “We were still renting a few single sculls.” But a few years later, the skiffs left and the food of the place became the center of attention.

In fact, the main kitchen of the Buoy Bar is also the old engine room, where the engines were stored as part of Scotty’s fishing station.

Magan says that although she continues to run the bar, her parents Roberta and Tom Doheny are still involved in the business, as are Magan’s four brothers.

“We are a real family-style establishment; everyone works at the bar part-time or full-time, ”she explains.

His brother Andrew now runs Scotty’s, which is adjacent to the Buoy Bar and is still a top destination for fuel, bait and tackle, as well as a similar but more streamlined seafood menu.

“Scotty’s menu is a mini-Buoy Bar menu but more kid-friendly,” says Magan, adding that they also have a full bar and concession-style menu that includes quesadillas, pizzas and tacos. “Scotty’s has a smaller menu but just as good.”

In the kitchen of the Buoy Bar is Magan’s brother, Matthew, who creates and runs a seasonal menu filled with fresh seafood, such as steamers in white wine basil broth, mussels in marinara or in Buffalo sauce, or a special homemade lobster pizza, described as a gigantic pizza-style lobster roll.

“It’s a thick crust pizza with fresh arugula, lobster cream sauce and lots of lobster meat,” says Magan.

Matt was originally supposed to help in the kitchen, but he quickly took to the job of chef.

“Matt reads cooking magazines and does a lot of research on food. He’s doing a great job, ”she said.

Other favorites among customers include a grilled cheese sandwich with crab, bacon and always fresh fish of the day like swordfish, striped bass, plaice, salmon and scallops.

Asked about running the bar during Covid, Magan said they had to transform to make take out.

She says they were initially closed for a short time, but then had a tough conversion to take.

Magan explained that they had nothing ready to make take out. “Our bartenders became drivers because they needed work.”

She says during the summer of 2020 they offered boat service which helped as they didn’t have enough room inside the bar to properly move the tables away.

“We made our full menu for the boats in the summer, then for the winter we used igloos, heaters and globes, as the winter restrictions only allowed us four tables inside. We survived. “

She added that they had to buy all the little things, from on-the-go condiments like ketchup and mustard to packages of salt and pepper. “Takeout kept all of our employees employed and kept us in business. “

She says food costs across all areas have all risen due to the pandemic. “A case of chicken wings is more, scallops, cups, straws, gloves … everything has increased in price.”

However, she also says that commercially they are almost back to pre-pandemic levels, noting that they are “very weather dependent”.

Going forward, plans are in place to expand the bar kitchen to better serve customers.

“We’re a total family business that has essentially evolved from Scotty’s burger service to what we are now… a full-fledged restaurant. “

“If I opened a wine bar, it would always be in El Cerrito,” says Sullivan. “It was like there was a real opportunity here.” (Another wine bar in town, Scene, is currently closed.)

Sullivan has a serious pedigree in the Bay Area: his parents are Sylvie and Michael Sullivan, co-founders of Beaune Imports, which imports some of Europe’s most famous wines to the United States such as Domaine des Comtes Lafon and the Domaine de Montille in Burgundy. She says she has always been passionate about wine but wanted to forge her own path rather than join the family business.

Instead, Sullivan has spent the last few years working for Alice Waters, owner of Chez Panisse. While she started working as a restaurant waitress in college, she is now in a fundraising role for the Waters’ Edible Schoolyard Project, an initiative that teaches school children about food and agriculture.

During the pandemic, however, Sullivan began to rethink his professional goals. “It has always been a fantasy to open my own little corner,” she says. “It wasn’t until a few months ago that I even thought that the crazy dream of opening a wine bar could come true.”

Banter takes inspiration from other East Bay wine bars and shops that Sullivan admires, such as Bay Grape and Minimo. There will be both a retail component and a bar; the corkage fee for opening a bottle on site will be $ 10 more than the retail price. That’s lower than the corkage fees of many other similar models throughout the Bay Area, which are typically closer to $ 15 or $ 20.

But that’s part of the beauty of being in the more affordable El Cerrito, Sullivan says. “If I had to pay rent in San Francisco, it would be different.

She and her fiancé, Devin Hohler, who helps with the construction, set up a full kitchen. There will be standard wine bar snacks like olives, cheese and cold cuts, but also more substantial dishes like sandwiches, salads and “a hot entree,” Sullivan says. She hopes people can stop by for a casual afternoon drink and a bigger meal.

As for the wines, Sullivan does not yet have details on what will be on offer, but she does know that the selection will shift towards low intervention and natural wines, with an emphasis on organic and biodynamic farming.

“I mean natural, but I don’t mean natural on the funky side of the spectrum, either,” Sullivan says. “It will focus on well-balanced wines with good acidity. This list will not fetishize the obscure; people who just want a glass of familiar-sounding Cabernet or Pinot will find something here, she promises.

While many of the potential spaces she saw in El Cerrito are located in linear shopping malls, Sullivan was drawn to this one because it is a stand-alone building and bathed in natural light. In addition to the kitchen, she and Hohler install a reclaimed wood bar. The aesthetic will feature “neutral elements with steel accents,” she says. And there will be plants – lots of plants.

More details will emerge as Sullivan nears the opening. She submitted her liquor license application and says the town of El Cerrito has looked supportive so far.

As the news spread, the response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, Sullivan says. “People are thrilled to have a neighborhood wine bar that they don’t have to go to in Oakland or Berkeley for.”

Last year, about 20% of U.S. high school students, or roughly three million, reported using e-cigarettes at least once in the past 30 days. The annual study is conducted by the FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which said changes in methodology this year due to the pandemic made it difficult to compare with previous years.

The flavors most commonly used among young people were fruits, candies and desserts, mint and menthol, according to the survey. More than half of young e-cigarette users reported using disposable devices. Some 26% of high school vapers reported using the disposable Puff Bar brand, followed in popularity by Reynolds American Inc.’s refillable brand Vuse at 11%, Smok at 10% and Juul at 6%. Among college e-cigarette users, 30% said their usual brand was Puff Bar.

“The use of Vuse products by young people is unacceptable, and we will continue to investigate how young people access our products,” said a spokesperson for Reynolds. Vuse is intended for adults and remains “an important option for adult smokers looking for an alternative to smoking,” she said.

Juul Labs Inc. in 2018 landed in the sights of regulators when its sleek, USB-stick-shaped vaporizers became a status symbol for teens. It is the most used brand of electronic cigarettes by American high school students over the past three years. Under pressure from regulators and facing investigations into its marketing practices, Juul halted most of its advertising in the United States, closed its Facebook and Instagram accounts, and stopped selling all of its flavors in the United States except tobacco and menthol. It remains the best-selling brand of electronic cigarettes in the United States, but has lost market share to Vuse and others.

Joe Murillo, chief regulatory officer for Juul, said the company has undertaken a reset. “While millions of adult smokers have converted to our products from cigarettes, we will only be trusted to provide alternatives to adult smokers if we continue to fight underage consumption,” he said. .

Puff Bar sales surged in early 2020 when federal restrictions banned the sale of sweet and fruity e-cigarette refill pods like those from industry leader Juul Labs Inc. not be met, the original FDA flavor restrictions did not apply. for them. Underage vaping fell after these restrictions were implemented, but the use of disposable e-cigarettes among children and teens jumped.

In July last year, the FDA ordered the company to halt sales, saying its products had not been authorized by the agency.

The brand stopped sales on its website, but continued to sell in retail stores with flavors such as Watermelon, Blue Razz, and Lemon Ice. Puff Bar resumed sales on its website in February this year, claiming it had changed its ingredients and now used nicotine that was not derived from tobacco. The change could allow it to bypass the FDA.

Since last year, the FDA has been concerned about the popularity of Puff Bar among young people, a spokesperson for the agency said. She added that the agency was considering how to treat Puff Bar and a number of other brands claiming that their products contain synthetic nicotine and therefore fall outside the jurisdiction of the FDA.

We don’t know who owns the brand. Puff Bar did not immediately respond to an email request for comment.

This year’s investigation was the first to be fully conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to changes in the way the survey was conducted this year, the results are not comparable to the findings of previous surveys. This year, students answered questions through an online survey in their classrooms, at home or elsewhere. Before the pandemic, the investigation was conducted in person in classrooms.

Health officials said a significant number of young people have vaped this year despite many learning remotely and may have less access to e-cigarettes from friends or classmates. Some 2.8% of middle school students, or about 320,000, said they had used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days.

“These data highlight the fact that flavored electronic cigarettes are still extremely popular with children,” said Mitch Zeller, director of the Center for Tobacco Products at the FDA.

The findings could inform the FDA’s pending decisions on which e-cigarette products it will allow to remain in the US market. Some lawmakers and public health groups have called on the agency to ban all flavors of e-cigarettes other than tobacco.

Among the FDA’s decisions so far, the agency has removed more than a million flavored products from the market, including vaping liquids with flavors such as apple crumble, cola and cereal. cinnamon, claiming that the manufacturers had not provided sufficient evidence that their products benefited from it. adult smokers to an extent that outweighed their potential appeal to young people.

Sept. 30 (Reuters) – Whiskey maker Johnnie Walker Diageo Plc (DGE.L) said on Thursday its new fiscal year had a “good start” and expected its operating margins to rise as people opt for premium brands and spend more in restaurants and bars.

The recovery in Europe has been ahead of its own expectations, while in North America, despite supply constraints, the business has been “performing strongly,” the company said in a statement ahead of its annual general meeting. later in the day.

Sales in bars and restaurants, hit by restrictions imposed by COVID last year, are rebounding sharply in both regions as higher vaccination rates encourage more people to venture out.

Sales in the African, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America and Caribbean markets are also doing well, but Diageo has warned that it expects some volatility in those markets to persist.

“We have got off to a good start in FY ’22 … as we benefit from the resilience of non-trade (retail) and the continued recovery in on-trade (bars and restaurants),” said the general manager Ivan Menezes.

The company also benefits from customers who buy more premium drinks and increased sales through higher-margin channels such as e-commerce, Menezes added.

It’s 70-ish, sunny, and incredibly gorgeous weather in DC. And you know it won’t last long. Here’s where to make the most of the outdoors while sipping a delicious drink and / or enjoying something tasty this week.

Fancy a happy hour with a view, a fancy dinner or a new hotspot? Try one of our 25 favorite spots by the water.

The weather is also shaping up to be mild this weekend, a perfect time to adjust to a nice brunch by the water’s edge before the temperatures cool down.

Fall for crabs

The prices are often lower, the crabs are plumper and it is indeed pleasant to spend hours picking outside. Here are our favorite Chesapeake crab houses, as well as some classic DC area crab houses within the city limits if you don’t want to drive.

Take your best friend to a puppy-friendly patio

These restaurants, bars and beer gardens go beyond welcoming pets. Forget about water bowls – we’re talking puppucinos, alcohol-free dog beers (yes, that’s a thing), and even built-in play areas where they can run off leash.

A number of new restaurants have recently opened with atmospheric outdoor space. Quattro Osteria (pictured above) recently made their Shaw debut with an impressive menu from a team of native Italians, including Tosca elders and brothers Giovanni and Salvio Ippolito.

Looking for something more casual? DC Chaia’s popular “taco farm” store just opened in Bethesda with a taco window and small front patio (part of a much faster, more relaxed expansion trend that’s happening right now).

More in the mood for elevated eyesight? Try one of these eye-catching rooftop bars and restaurants.

WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday denied the United States rights to land a charter plane carrying more than 100 Americans and US green card holders evacuated from Afghanistan, flight organizers said.

“They will not allow a charter on an international flight to a US port of entry,” said Bryan Stern, founder of the nonprofit Project Dynamo, of the customs agency and border protection of the department.

Stern spoke to Reuters on board a plane his group chartered from Kam Air, a private Afghan airline, which he said sat for 14 hours at Abu Dhabi airport after arriving from Kabul with 117 people, including 59 children.

His group is one of many that have emerged from ad hoc networks of US veterans, former and current US officials and others who formed to support the US evacuation operation last month, which ‘they saw it as chaotic and poorly organized.

DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

An administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they were unfamiliar with the matter, but the US government generally takes the time to check manifestos on charter planes before allowing them. to land in the United States.

The administration of US President Joe Biden has said its top priority is to repatriate Americans and green card holders unable to leave Afghanistan during the US evacuation operation last month.

A senior State Department official said on Monday that the United States was aware of around 100 U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents ready to leave Afghanistan.

Six Americans, 83 green card holders and six people with special U.S. immigration visas granted to Afghans who worked for the U.S. government during the 20-year war in Afghanistan were on board the Kam Air flight, Stern said.

He had planned to transfer the passengers to an Ethiopian Airlines chartered plane for a flight to the United States which he said had cleared landing at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Customs then changed customs clearance at Dulles International Airport outside Washington before denying the plane’s landing rights anywhere in the United States, he said.

“I have a big, beautiful, giant and gigantic Boeing 787 that I can see parked in front of us,” he said. “I have a crew. I have food.”

Stern said intermediaries in Kabul had obtained permission from the Taliban-led Afghan Civil Aviation Authority for the groups to send a charter flight to pick up passengers from Kabul airport.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Police arrested the owners of El Chila sports bar on Monday, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said on Tuesday.

Marvin and Gabby Betancourt each face six counts related to their operation of the bar, including corrupt business influence and non-payment of food and drink tax.

Court documents obtained by News 8 allege the couple filed false sales tax returns and failed to keep proper business records.

The IMPD says there have been 29 official incident reports at the bar – located in the 6300 block of West 34th Street near the intersection of West 34th Street and North High School Road – since December 2018. The reports included aggravated assault, drug investigations and shooting involving an officer.

The shooting took place in November 2020. Luis Suarez, the man shot by police, was charged with pointing a gun, criminal recklessness and carrying a handgun without a license.

The Betancourt are due to appear Thursday for a first hearing.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A Maui man with a long rap sheet has been arrested again following a chain of events over the weekend.

Marcus Ruggiero, 56, of Wailuku, Maui, is now behind bars, this time charged with negligent injuries, impaired driving, reckless endangerment and more.

According to Maui Police, early Saturday morning he was seen driving recklessly on the Lahaina Bypass. Officers were unable to stop her and called off a pursuit in the interest of public safety.

Just before 6 p.m., he was again seen driving in Wailuku town. There, an officer on leave saw Ruggiero colliding with a pedestrian jogging along the Honoapiilani highway. The officer stopped to assist the man from Waikapu, 27, as Ruggiero walked away without rescuing.

Maui Police said the jogger suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.

The chain of events continued as Ruggiero made his way to Paia via Hana Highway, and was later found in the Makena area.

In the parking lot at La Pérouse Bay, police said he struck another parked vehicle. It was then that the police were able to surround him and take him into custody. At the time, police said Ruggiero allegedly showed signs of impairment.

He was charged with 12 additional offenses as a result of the series of events. Police examined his file and found that he had made 77 arrests and 58 convictions. Of these, 15 concerned felonies, 24 misdemeanors and 19 minor misdemeanors.

During his most recent arrest, MPD said he was on bail for attempted murder, driving without a license, reckless driving and resisting stop orders.

His bond has been revoked and is now set at $ 264,000. He is still being held at the Wailuku Police Station.

“Mr. Ruggiero’s arrest was a collaborative effort of all the Patrol Districts, Lahaina, Wailuku and Kihei. The fact that no one has been killed by Mr. Ruggiero yet is nothing short of a miracle, ”said Lieutenant Hankins, MPD traffic commander.
