A Return Visit Reveals Restaurant Reality Just months after opening their doors, Amanda and Bill Whitson welcome back Valley Today host, Janet Michael, and SBA Virginia District Director, Carl Knoblock to share the unvarnished truth about launching Clem's Kitchen at Middletown's historic Wayside Inn. While the couple anticipated challenges, the reality of restaurant ownership has delivered surprises at every turn. Nevertheless, their commitment to quality, community, and scratch-made comfort food keeps them moving forward. Click here to listen to the September conversation. The Best-Laid Plans Meet Reality Originally, the Whitsons planned a cautious rollout—breakfast service only, with dinner introduced gradually over several months. However, customer demand quickly rewrote that script. Within just one week of opening in September, they expanded to full dinner service. "It's definitely not what we thought," Amanda admits, though she emphasizes the fun amid the exhaustion. This rapid expansion tested their team immediately, yet it also validated their concept faster than expected. Staffing: The Universal Challenge Throughout the conversation, both Amanda and Bill identify staffing as their biggest ongoing challenge. Unlike Amanda's early days working at the Wayside Inn for Leo Bernstein, today's workforce operates with different expectations and motivations. Consequently, the couple has built their culture around a simple principle: everyone does everything. Bill proudly notes that he washes more dishes than anyone else, not because he must, but because it frees his team to focus on food preparation and guest service. Meanwhile, Amanda reinforces this philosophy during every interview, making it clear that hierarchies don't exist at Clem's Kitchen—only teamwork. Furthermore, the Whitsons recognize that attracting quality staff requires competitive wages. They deliberately pay above minimum wage, understanding that employees who can cover their bills become invested team members. This strategy has paid dividends, creating a staff that genuinely cares about guest experiences rather than simply collecting paychecks. The Social Media Tightrope In addition to staffing challenges, the couple navigates the precarious world of online reviews. As Carl observes, one negative review can significantly impact a new restaurant, and responding requires finesse that's difficult to muster when you're "in the weeds" with cooking and service. Therefore, Amanda and Bill's decision to open slowly—despite the eventual rapid expansion—gave them crucial time to train their team thoroughly before facing the unforgiving court of public opinion. Scratch-Made with a Twist What sets Clem's Kitchen apart, however, isn't just their operational philosophy—it's the food itself. Amanda, who describes herself as someone who "doesn't measure anything," creates dishes that honor classic comfort food while adding unexpected elements. For instance, her twice-baked potatoes feature a crispy tater-tot exterior that Janet still raves about. Similarly, the restaurant's fresh-baked biscuits—which disappeared in just 28 minutes during a recent sausage gravy contest—come with house-made flavored butters and preserves that change regularly. Moreover, the couple prioritizes sourcing raw ingredients over pre-processed products, despite the additional labor involved. Bill emphasizes that while it's easy to source food, finding quality raw product proves much harder. Nevertheless, guests can taste the difference between hand-cut vegetables and frozen alternatives, making the extra effort worthwhile. A Menu That Evolves Initially unplanned, Clem's Kitchen now changes its dinner menu monthly—a practice that emerged from necessity but has become a strategic advantage. This rotation keeps regular customers engaged while allowing Amanda creative freedom to experiment. At the same time, certain favorites remain constant: burgers, wings, and the popular roasted chicken ensure that creatures of habit can always find something familiar. Additionally, the monthly changes help manage food costs, especially when catering events require specific ingredients that can then appear on the restaurant menu. Events: The Economic Engine Speaking of catering, Bill candidly acknowledges that special events "kept us afloat" during January's slow season. The couple brought their established catering clientele from their food truck, and now these clients enjoy the full-service venue with its bar and multiple event spaces. From corporate gatherings to weddings, these events provide crucial revenue that allows the restaurant to maintain quality ingredients and competitive wages during slower periods. In fact, Bill notes that in today's restaurant landscape, "you gotta do two, three things at once" to remain profitable. Building Community, Not Just Serving Food Beyond the business metrics, Amanda and Bill focus relentlessly on creating genuine connections. Bill regularly sits with guests, sharing coffee and conversation regardless of whether he knows them personally. Amanda has introduced personal touches like allowing regular customers to have designated coffee mugs and accepting family heirloom salt and pepper shakers from neighbors who eat there weekly. These gestures transform transactions into relationships. As Carl astutely observes, "Nine times out of ten, people come back for the relationship versus coming back for the food." This philosophy drives everything at Clem's Kitchen, from the warm greeting guests receive upon entering to the tableside chocolate milk service that makes children feel special. Looking Ahead: Spring and Beyond Looking forward, the Whitsons plan to leverage the four-acre property more fully. They're launching Friday night live music, opening their expansive patio (which adds 40% more seating capacity), and actively pursuing a farmer's market partnership. Additionally, they're exploring ways to highlight the Wayside Inn's historical significance, particularly as Virginia celebrates its 250th anniversary. Carl enthusiastically suggests that local economic development could help showcase this pre-Civil War landmark as a destination for history-focused tourism. Furthermore, Amanda dreams of eventually adding a small retail shop where guests could purchase house-made sauces, pickles, and Tricia's celebrated desserts—particularly that coconut cake that has customers asking to take whole cakes home. The Superpower of Execution When asked about their approach, Bill identifies their "superpower" simply: "We figure it out." While they acknowledge that preparation reveals blind spots, their ability to execute under pressure has carried them through every unexpected challenge. From the rapid dinner expansion to managing a 400-biscuit order that disappeared in under half an hour, the couple consistently delivers. Yet beneath this execution-focused mindset lies something deeper. As one longtime community member told Bill while shaking his hand: "It's back. Nice job. It's back." After years of the Wayside Inn lacking its heartbeat, Clem's Kitchen has restored what was missing—not through financial investment alone, but through genuine care, quality ingredients, and unwavering commitment to community. The Bottom Line Ultimately, Amanda and Bill Whitson aren't just running a restaurant—they're rebuilding a community gathering place. While the work exhausts them and challenges emerge daily, their focus remains clear: create experiences that make guests feel welcomed, valued, and eager to return. In an industry where many cut corners to maximize profits, Clem's Kitchen takes the opposite approach, betting that quality, authenticity, and human connection will sustain them through the difficult early years and beyond. As spring approaches and the patio opens, Middletown's historic Wayside Inn stands ready to reclaim its place as the heart of the community—one scratch-made meal, one warm greeting, and one genuine relationship at a time.
This episode of The JB and Sandy Show is a rollercoaster of nostalgia, laughter, and relatable moments that will have you grinning from ear to ear. The show kicks off with a hilarious debate: is TGI Fridays really making a comeback, or are we all just chasing the glory days of the 90s? JB and Sandy reminisce about the heyday of mall hangouts, Long Island Iced Teas, and the unforgettable “Drunk Joe”—the neighbor who once broke down his own door after a night of epic revelry. “There's no way in the world Drunk Joe is alive. No. There's just… I mean, filthy, nasty, dirty. You can't drink like that and 30 years later still be alive, right?”

This week on The Edible Valley Podcast, we're talking crispy batter, seaside classics, and a little Super Bowl-fuelled adventure. William is back from England — and he didn't return empty-handed. Fresh off a dive into traditional British chippies, Will shares what makes a great fish and chip shop: from no-nonsense service and paper-wrapped portions to perfectly fried fish, fluffy chips, and that unmistakable aroma that follows you home. It's a reminder that some of the world's best food comes from humble places, done simply and done well. The conversation digs into what separates good fish and chips from unforgettable ones — the right fish, the right batter, the right oil, and why texture matters just as much as flavour. There's nostalgia, a bit of grease-stained romance, and plenty of laughs along the way. Meanwhile, Chef Jonathan is gearing up for his next culinary adventure — heading to San Francisco as the city buzzes with Super Bowl energy. From West Coast flavours and diverse food cultures to sustainable seafood conversations and street-level food experiences, Jonathan shares what he's most excited to explore while the football world descends on the Bay Area. It's an episode that perfectly captures what The Edible Valley is all about: food rooted in place, stories behind the plate, and the joy of sharing meals — whether that's standing in line at a local chippy in England or chasing flavours across North America. Grab a fork (or your fingers), because this one might leave you craving fish and chips by the end. Classic Fish & Chips Recipe (Chippy-Style) Serves 4 Fish 4 fillets cod, haddock, or halibut Salt & pepper Oil for frying (canola or beef tallow if you're feeling traditional) Batter 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting) 1 tsp baking powder 1 cup cold sparkling water or beer Pinch of salt Chips 4 large russet potatoes, cut thick Salt Malt vinegar (essential) Method Chips first: Rinse potatoes, pat dry. Fry at 325°F (165°C) until tender but pale. Remove and rest. Batter: Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and cold liquid until just combined. Fish: Season, dust lightly with flour, dip into batter. Fry: Increase oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry fish until golden and crisp, 4–5 minutes. Finish chips: Return chips to hot oil until golden and crunchy. Serve: Salt generously, splash with malt vinegar. Paper-wrap optional but encouraged. #TheEdibleValleyPodcast, #FishAndChips, #ChippyCulture, #BritishFood, #SeafoodStories, #ComfortFood, #FoodPodcast, #CulinaryTravel, #WestCoastEats, #SuperBowlFood, #SanFranciscoEats, #VancouverIslandFood, #SustainableSeafood, #ClassicCooking

This week discover gift ideas for everyone on your list, and try this quick, easy dinner hack to simplify surviving winter meals that are comfort food for the whole family! Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Christmas Gift Ideas What to buy?? The stress, the expense... it all adds up, hence we are here to HELP YOU OUT!! Food: Who doesn't love food and with how expensive everything is, we can all appreciate a good meal. We believe in giving our loved ones gift certificates to local Butcher Shops in their area or to local Ranches and Farms selling their own meats. Do a quick search, and you'll be surprised how many local Pasture to Plate, Farm to Table and so on small businesses there are! Tack Tote: Have a Cowboy, Cowgirl or Equestrian on the list. You cannot go wrong creating a small "Tack Tote" that has all the essentials so that it's ready to either stay in the stock trailer or be loaded when the horses do. The one created by Tigger for me has been a life saver! Inside mine there is wound spray, fly spray, curry comb, brush, hoof pick, leather hole punch, leather strips for repair and don't forget the Chicago screws!! (Also highly recommend having a spare rein and stirrup in the box too... take it from me... Been There... Needed that!) Leather Hole Punch: This is a tool that is worth spending the extra money to buy a Good One! Let's be honest, typically when needing to fix tack you are out... chasing cattle, in a hurry at a rodeo, etc... No time to be messing with a low grade leather punch that moves on one all the time or you have to have the strength of Goliath just to put an extra notch in your latigo! Easy Dinner Hack This hack is so easy, you'll wonder - "Why Haven't I Been Doing This?" Almost every time you're in the grocery nearing the checkout, you've been there... you have to walk by the delish smelling fresh rotisserie chickens. YUM! Well now think about this... There are sales regularly on these too and now you're going to stock up! Hack: Buy Rotisserie Chickens to FREEZE for later! You read that right! I buy a few these at a time, especially if there's a sale. Nothing is done with them other than put in the freezer. When I am needing meals that can sit all day to be enjoyed as my family comes and goes... I thawed out one of those chickens. I especially like the ones in a plastic container as when thawing they make No Mess!! What To Do With The Rotisserie Chicken? Since it is already cooked, your cooking time is short... like cut down big time!! Pull off that meat... then proceed to dice it or shred depending on the use. Wild Rice Soup: Add that diced chicken to say a packet of Bear Creek Wild Rice Soup... Comfort Food that is SOOOOO GOOD! Chicken Enchiladas: Add enchilada sauce (green or red), add the diced or shredded chicken and bring to a simmer. Heat the oven to 400. Using a cooking sprayed glass dish, spoon a thin layer of the sauce in the bottom. Fill flour tortillas with the meat mixture, add your favorite cheese blend and then roll up. Place the tortillas tightly against one another until the pan is full, pour any remaining meat sauce on the top and then garnish with a heavy layer of shredded cheese and chopped green onions. Bake uncovered until the cheese begins to brown. ENJOY!! OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!
