Welcome to I W I N T E R 2 0 0 4 ABOUT THE COVER ARTIST: Sophie Navarro is a local artist who has worked in video production and animation. She is currently designing comic books and gift cards and is available for freelance artwork. She can be reached at munravin@hotmail.com n the heart of winter, there’s really nothing better than staying close to home, decked out in your softest, warmest fleece clothes, sipping at a cup of hot tea or cocoa. But — should you get a hankering for the outside world, for a meal made by someone else, for the company of friends and loved ones, let this winter issue of Chow! be your guide through the storms. You’ll find the ever-growing Eugene, Springfield and Corvallis restaurant listings here, along with news, food trends, and reviews: Lance Sparks takes us to LCC’s new Center for Meeting and Learning, where the chefs of tomorrow practice the art of culinary creativity; Karman Ratliff looks into the craziness of the low-carb craze; and former Chow! editor Marina Taylor reviews oodles of local noodle places. So rinse out your teacup, cover the fleece up with a layer of Gore-Tex, and brave the storms for good, local eats. — Bobbie Willis E DI T OR : BOBBIE WILLIS • A RT D IR EC TO R : KEVIN DOUGHERTY • G R A PH I C A R T IS T S: JAMES BATEMAN, TODD COOPER • C O V ER AR T: SOPHIE NAVARRO • C O N T RI BU T I N G W RI T E R S : LANCE SPARKS, KARMAN RATLIFF, MARINA TAYLOR, PAUL NEEVEL P H O T O GR AP H Y: JAMES BATEMAN, TODD COOPER, PAUL NEEVEL, KARMAN RATLIFF • AC CO U N T RE PR ES E NT A TI VE : MARK FRISBEE Fisherman’s Market Fantastic Seafood Entrées Entrées change weekly.
