Twelve Years of Pastiche: A Conversation with Pat Connors

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Palate & PairingPastiche owner, Pat Connors, is coming up on his 12th anniversary of the well known restaurant.  Taking the restaurant from Ernie’s Bar & Grill in 1997, Pastiche opened its doors in 1998 and never looked back.  Today, Pastiche has a well established reputation as a casual yet elegant restaurant.  We sat down recently to speak with Pat about himself, the restaurant and the industry.

Jim:  Pat, thanks for taking a few minutes out what always seems to be a very busy schedule.  Pat:  Always a pleasure, Jim

Jim:  What led you into the culinary field, Pat? Pat:  I worked for restaurants in high school and college while attending U of A in order to help pay for my education.  I loved the business and the give and take with customers.  It just seemed natural.

Merry Christmans Plus Holiday Wines For the Table

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

After what I'm certain most would agree has been a chaotic year, it's more important than ever to focus upon some quality time with family and friends.  So on this Christmas Eve day, let me wish those of you who celebrate this landmark holiday a festive, healthy and safe Christmas surrounded by those who are most meaningful to you.  This is the time to focus upon the "good" in life.  

With the year end holidays fast approaching, I thought that it would be fun to poll a few of the chefs in town and ask them which wines they would like to see on their holiday table.  We were fortunate enough to catch up with Doug Levy of Feast (www.eatatfeast.com), Beverage House on East Broadway, Pat Connors from Pastiche (www.pasticheme.com), Kevin Anderson, Cellar Mgr of AJ’s Fine Foods (www.ajsfinefoods.com), Jeff Fuld of Elle (www.ellerestaurant.com) and the always entertaining Jonathan Landeen of Jonathan’s Cork (www.jonathanscork.com).  Just for fun, I threw in a batch of varietals that I would like to see on a holiday table.
