Program is a reward for meeting their academic goals

ASHLAND — A pair of seventh-graders — both with dreams of becoming professional chefs — got their first big chance Thursday over the hot stoves of Tease Restaurant as a reward for meeting an academic goal.

Decked out in chef coats and a little awed in their surroundings, Harley Coplin and Elizabeth Hearn helped make the spinach-almond-cream stuffing for Butternut Squash Eggrolls, which were to be served up to regular customers that evening.

The pair earned the honor by being "Zero Heroes," meaning they finished all their homework at Ashland Middle School's Academic Support Center.

"I'm psyched," said Coplin. "This is one of my dreams. I love cooking, especially making cakes. That's what I want to be, a pastry chef."

"It's a very new experience, so interesting," said Hearn. "It gives me a better experience of what it'll be like when I'm older and can be a chef."

Tease chef and owner Marc Rosewood pronounced their work top notch.]]>office@teaserestaurant.netAshland Daily Tidings2010-01-04T10:40:36-08:00http://teaseashland.com/inthenews/files/7502404888ed042836611112af15f377-9.html#unique-entry-id-9http://teaseashland.com/inthenews/files/7502404888ed042836611112af15f377-9.html#unique-entry-id-9By Vickie Aldous

New stained glass door at Tease is among downtown's graceful gateways

A newly installed door at Tease restaurant and bar in downtown Ashland has two different personalities, depending on whether the sun is shining upon it in the day or light from inside is illuminating the door's stained glass at night.

"When the light's behind it, it's full of color. When it's day, it becomes a graphic image," said Tease Owner Julie O'Dwyer.

O'Dwyer and local sculptor Kevin Christman found an old wooden door at a salvage yard in Berkeley, Calif. Christman created a custom stained glass piece of an abstracted orchid that he set into the door.]]>office@teaserestaurant.netAshland Daily Tidings2009-11-09T13:41:16-08:00http://teaseashland.com/inthenews/files/dac59be428a3eb7c1d7547d921eafa7d-8.html#unique-entry-id-8http://teaseashland.com/inthenews/files/dac59be428a3eb7c1d7547d921eafa7d-8.html#unique-entry-id-8By John Darling

In a well-attended, hotly-contested third annual Chef Showdown, Franco Console of Omar's Restaurant walked away with the top honor Sunday at the Ashland Food & Wine Classic.

Given the same set of ingredients from local growers, with no advance notice of what they had to cook, finalists Console and Miles McCollum of Tease Restaurant worked their magic with whole, live lobster, rib eye steak and an array of produce from local growers.

And he talked like a word nerd, too, a super romantic one. He stood before a gathering of wine appreciators with a big smile on his face and asked them to define the word “bucolic.”

He has been quoted in Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel magazine as saying, "There isn't any place in California that's nearly as cute" as Jacksonville, where he has his Quady North Winery Tasting Room, adding, "We're all about the bucolic southern Oregon life.”

The person who gave the correct definition of "bucolic" received a prize: A bottle of Quady Winery’s Deviation that a tablemate swore contains rose geranium, damiana and aphrodisiacs.

Seduction was the theme for Quady North's Vintner's Dinner at Tease Restaurant & Bar in Ashland last week.

Seduction was delivered through wines, liqueurs, course after course of precious foods and stimulating announcements by Quady as well as Tease co-owners Julie O'Dwyer and chef Marc Rosewood. And, of course, by the setting, which is red-velvet and soft-light seducing.

I've been so deliriously happy drinking coffee all these years, it never occurred to me to eat it.

Thanks to the combined efforts of Tease Restaurant & Bar and Noble Coffee, coffee lovers are not limited to an after-dinner cup-a-joe. Chef Trey Hansen of Tease and Noble's Jared Rennie have paired up to give taste buds a buzz as Tease hosts a special dinner on Sunday featuring coffee as the secret ingredient in every course.

Ashland restaurant and bar, vineyard in Jacksonville to host unique event

Diners will be able to mix wines together to make their own blends during an unusual event at Tease Restaurant & Bar in Ashland.

Tease has teamed up with Cowhorn Vineyard & Garden of Jacksonville for a dinner and wine-blending experiment that begins at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the restaurant, which is located downtown on the corner of Second and East Main streets.

The dinner will begin with three courses paired with Cowhorn's Rhone varietals — Voignier, Roussane and Marsanne/Rousanne, said Tease Co-owner Julie O'Dwyer.

Bill and Barbara Steel, co-owners of Cowhorn, will talk about blends and then give diners a chance to create their own.]]>office@teaserestaurant.netOrganic Nation Spirits2009-06-20T16:36:57-07:00http://teaseashland.com/inthenews/files/e6d5a8b0e774bf4833a17ac7258d0c66-4.html#unique-entry-id-4http://teaseashland.com/inthenews/files/e6d5a8b0e774bf4833a17ac7258d0c66-4.html#unique-entry-id-4If you haven’t tasted Christopher’s Organic Pomegranate made with Ashland’s very own Organic Nation vodka, well, let’s just say it’s Martini 2.0.

He said the drawing session at the restaurant was different than the usual experience of sketching a model in an art studio.]]>
