hello everyone, welcome 2 Stove, the restaurant in sunny PoNo, the historic part of port Norfolk which is in the historic city of Portsmouth in, this is crazy, historic virginia.
my name is sydney meers, I do a kind of neo-southern style of cookin with a touch of my home state of Mississippi and a bit of what I've learned along the way. my grandmother really taught me cookin and then I added some education from johnson and wales university culinary arts and voila, here I am.
we use here at stove great produce, fish and meats I get not to far from the restaurant, I grow food for here, make my ham as well as getting a great va. style salt cured ham from tom and dee dee darden's farm in Smithfield, I get some great yellow, blu and brown oyster mushrooms from dave and dee plus my ole frin, judy clark of clark's farm in chesapeake plus a bunch more so you can count on fresh, local and very good foods here at stove. i'm surrounded by water so fish is the best and i mostly cook fish but in autumn and winter i do a bunch of meat, wild game and pig, love pork bellies, oh my, anyway you can see we are devoted to preparing real good and healthy foods for out clientele.
so, call and make a reservation, it's a nice 30 seat restaurant with great art and if you want, i'll stop by and have a glass of wine with u, xo sydney
