The Lark + Lucky Penny - Part II - Sherry, Owner | Derrick, GM | Chef Jason

We continue our Special Fall Restaurant Series meeting with the staff at Acme Hospitality's The Lark Restaurant + Lucky Penny.

We talk to General Manager Derek, Chef Jeremy and we take a peek "behind the curtain" with Owner Sherry Villanueva.

Like nearly every business, the past few years have been really, really hard on our friends in the restaurant business.

But that’s not what this special restaurant series is about…This series is cheering on and supporting those who have survived the years by highlighting their accomplishments and reminding all of us about what makes each restaurant special.

It reminds all of us, including the restaurateurs, sometimes why our neighborhood restaurants and staff are so important to our social wellbeing. They continue to be a part of our lives.

Restaurants will forever remain our happy gathering place for life’s most important celebrations, or simply just to connect with friends at the end of a long week. This year we kick off the fall restaurant series with our friends from Acme Hospitality. They live for their restaurants and their guests, and they follow my favorite personal rule: Get better every day.

But - - - I’m going to let them tell you why they love their restaurants.

If you haven’t been, go.

If you’ve been, you will fall in love with your Acme Hospitality restaurants all over again.

If you love restaurants and are curious about what happens behind the curtain, then sit back and just enjoy.

And then go.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
