Coney Island Kitchen Installers - FREE Estimate 888-214-7090 - Video
Some big changes are in the works for The Modern Hotel's tiny kitchen. For the past few years, the boutique hotel has been cranking out top-notch small plates on nothing more than a four-burner electric stove, two induction burners and a panini press. But sometime at the end of February or the beginning of March, The Modern's kitchen will shut down for two weeks for a remodel.
"So mainly it's putting in a full hood with a 10-fire gas range, a couple ovens. Pretty much upgrading the kitchen from more of like a sandwich deli kitchen to a full restaurant kitchen," said Remi Courcenet, Modern food and beverage manager. "Inside the kitchen, nothing's going to change. We're not taking away more rooms to make a bigger kitchen or anything. It's just upgrading it to more of a commercial standard."
Since the cocktail lounge will remain open during the remodel, Courcenet is searching for other ways to sate hungry patrons.
"We still would like to be able to have some food options for our guests, so we're trying to get some food trucks together to be there at night during that time period," said Courcenet.
The Modern's revamped kitchen should be up and running by mid-March. And that new set-up will pave the way for an even bigger change--The Modern will start serving brunch Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
"The brunch menu is keeping the same vision of food that we have at night, where we're kind of a bar that offers an interesting food selection," said Courcenet. "The brunch is going to be in that same range of ideas; trying to serve something different than the regular eggs benedict. ... It won't look like the traditional brunch menu that you can find everywhere else. We're trying to set ourselves apart."
Chef Alex Cardoza, formerly of the Boise Co-op deli, (full disclosure: He's my boyfriend) will take the reins of the brunch program. Possible dishes include steelhead lox with potato cakes and creme fraiche, scones with fresh berries, and graham cracker pancakes with lemon curd. Courcenet hopes to have brunch in full swing "somewhere around May"--just in time for prime patio weather.
Speaking of remodels, Woodland Empire Ale Craft is currently repairing the damage caused to its roof after a fire broke out Feb. 3. But a little ash isn't stopping the brewery from hosting a grand opening bash Saturday, Feb. 22, from noon-11 p.m. The celebration will feature live music by The Pint Scoundrels and DJ Winkle. Neckar Coffee will be on hand in the morning serving pour-over coffee, and Archie's Place and Boise Fry Co. will be parked on-site serving food. The previous day, Friday, Feb. 21, Boise Mayor Dave Bieter will drop by the brewery for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2 p.m.

The Modern Remodels Its Kitchen, Plans To Offer Brunch
By Janis Mara Marin Independent Journal
If you're about to do a renovation on your home, there's something you should know: If the house is more than 20 years old and has water-wasting fixtures, you must replace them thanks to a new state law being phased in this year.
SB 470 requires that low-flow toilets, shower heads and interior faucets replace non-conserving fixtures in single-family homes more than 20 years old undergoing remodels or additions. This part of the law became effective Jan. 1, and other elements will kick in over the next five years.
As far as the age requirement, "It's going to affect most of the homes in Marin County," said Bob Ravasio, an agent with Coldwell Banker. "Most of them were built before 1994. For example, last year alone, of the 3,452 homes that sold, about two-thirds were built before 1994."

Ravasio emphasized that many aspects of the law's enforcement haven't yet been finalized.
"This thing is still in the stages where we are trying to figure out what the consequences are," the agent said.
"The law provides an enormous amount of gray area and we're trying to get to the bottom of how it's going to be implemented," said Blaine Morris, president of the Marin Association of Realtors.
The law affects remodels, not resales.
"There is nothing in the law that requires the installation of water-conserving fixtures as a condition of sale," said Lotus Lou of the California Association of Realtors.

Sometimes the stars align for the better.
Any property owner in Long Hill Township, who is given an opportunity to replace the roof on his or her largest of three buildings, and upgrade the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) to include air conditioning where there is not now air conditioning, at no additional cost to the month-to-month budget, would take that deal in a heart beat.
Thats the way Long Hill Township voters should approach the $3.6 million school referendum on Tuesday, March 11, now just 19 days away.
Turns out this project comes at a time when the financial stars are aligning in favor of Long Hill taxpayers.
Heres why: First, this project was approved by the New Jersey state Department of Education, to receive as much as 40 percent of the cost of the project in a matching grant from the state.
It is the same matching grant that Watchung Hills Regional High School received last fall. Voters in Long Hill Township, Warren Township and Watchung voted 1,075 to 607 to approve the $12.5 million referendum to do similar kinds of bread-and-butter property owner-type improvements, like roof replacements, HVAC system improvements, and such. That vote took place on Tuesday, Sept. 24. Not only did the proposal receive voter support overall, it also won voter support in each of the individual towns. Long Hill voters voted 401 yes to 249 no. Watchung voters voted 181 yes to 108 no. Warren Township voters voted 463 yes to 250 no.
No Net Tax Increase
So, getting back to why the stars are aligning for Long Hill taxpayers now, in addition to the state matching grant, the grades K-8 Long Hill Board of Education will use as much as $500,000 from the capital reserve budget. So combining the state funds and the capital reserve funds, the bill for local taxpayers for this particular $3.6 million project will effectively be about $1.4 million.
But wait, Long Hill taxpayers there is more. According to school Superintendent Rene Rovtar, a previous capital project bond issue, roughly equal to this new $1.4 million bill, will be retiring when this projects bonds will likely go out on the market. Consequently, Long Hill taxpayers will see no new net increase in local school taxes because of this improvement project.
Lastly, these improvements address two key needs for the Long Hill School District.

EDITORIAL: The stars align for the better
Harford County legislators have summoned local school leaders to Annapolis for a sit-down to discuss what some legislators say is a lack of communication.
The request for a meeting is contained in one of two letters from Del. Rick Impallaria, the chairman of Harford's legislative delegation, that was prompted by the failure of Harford school officials to attend the annual state Board of Public Works review and appeal of local school systems' fiscal year 2015 construction requests that was held Feb. 5 in the capital.
The session typically includes direct appeals from local school and elected officials on behalf of their requests that the state agency in charge of school construction has declined to recommend for funding.
On Feb. 6, Impallaria wrote a letter on behalf of the delegation to HCPS interim Superintendent Barbara Canavan and School Board President Nancy Reynolds, which in part states: "As a Delegation we expect open dialogue between us and the Board of Education and the Superintendent's Office. We are all part of the same team; one of our job duties is to fight for funding for the school system."
The hearing before Gov. Martin O'Malley, state comptroller and treasurer was held on a day when Harford schools were closed because of a snowstorm, as were other systems in the region.
HCPS originally requested $14.4 million in state funds for school construction projects in fiscal 2015, including four HVAC replacements at Fallston High School, Dublin Elementary School, Darlington Elementary School and Ring Factory Elementary School and a replacement building for Youth's Benefit Elementary School in Fallston.
The school system also requested local planning approval for a major renovation of Joppatowne High School and for Havre de Grace Middle and High Schools, according to Joe Licata, chief of administration for HCPS.
The state Interagency Committee on School Construction had approved $10.1 million of the request. During the Board of Public Works meeting, HCPS officials were scheduled to make their case to secure the rest of the requested funding, aside from HVAC replacement at Dublin Elementary School, which Licata said is not eligible for state funding, since it received state funds within the past 15 years.
In a previous interview, Licata had said the harsh winter weather kept HCPS officials, in particular Canavan and Reynolds, from making the trip to Annapolis. He said HCPS officials did, however, send the Interagency Committee on School Construction, all pertinent materials for their appeals days in advance of the meeting.
But Harford delegates and senators have said they were unaware that HCPS officials would not be attending.
