Heidi Whitney-Schile didn't set out to become a brilliant chef, but food and the love of cooking and baking started at a pretty young age and it continued through college (she cooked for her roommates) and she used cooking as therapy when she found herself in a job she didn't love. When a friend asked if she would bake a wedding cake, Heidi decided right then and there - if the cake was a hit, she would quit her job and go to culinary school. The cake was a hit. Over the next several years, Heidi had intentful culinary moves that she says helped her grow, learn, push her boundaries and comfort zone. She says one of her first chefs told her "there's no failing in the kitchen," and Heidi calls it "failing forward." She says every oops or wrong turn has always led to personal growth. She's currently the winery chef at Ambar Estate (the story of getting here is a good one) where she believes she's found her happy place.

Ming pretended to be composed, "I can definitely learn this."Zh: 莲笑着点头，“没关系，我们一起加油。”En: Lian nodded with a smile, "It's okay, let's do our best together."Zh: 接下来的问题更加棘手。En: The next problem was even more tricky.Zh: 厨房里的调料用得差不多了，唯独缺了一项重要的香料。En: Most of the kitchen's spices were nearly used up, except for one important seasoning.Zh: 明皱着眉头，在厨房里左翻右找，En: Ming furrowed his brows and searched around the kitchen.Zh: 终于灵光一闪，发现了一瓶辣椒酱。En: Finally, a light bulb went off in his head when he discovered a bottle of chili sauce.Zh: 他灵机一动：“看来我们得即兴发挥了！”En: He had a brainwave: "Looks like we'll have to improvise!"Zh: 莲狐疑地看着那瓶辣椒酱，“你确定吗？这可是饺子，不是麻辣烫。”En: Lian looked suspiciously at the bottle of chili sauce, "Are you sure? These are dumplings, not malatang."Zh: 明坚定地点头：“试试看！”En: Ming nodded firmly, "Let's give it a try!"Zh: 于是，他们在饺子馅里加入了辣椒酱。En: So, they added the chili sauce to the dumpling filling.Zh: 虽然心中有些紧张，但明和莲怀着期待，将一盘盘饺子送到了门厅的小桌上。En: Though a bit nervous, Ming and Lian were hopeful as they delivered plate after plate of dumplings to the small table in the entrance hall.Zh: 吃饺子的朋友们一开始没有察觉特别之处，但第一口下肚后，立刻引发了一阵意料之外的轰动。En: Their friends, who were eating the dumplings, didn't notice anything special at first, but after the first bite, it caused an unexpected sensation.Zh: 有人吃得辣得面红耳赤，有人则恣意欢笑，纷纷给出好评。En: Some turned red from the spiciness, while others laughed heartily, all giving positive reviews.Zh: 一时间，水杯在桌面上此起彼伏。En: For a moment, water cups rose and fell on the tabletop.Zh: “真有意思的口感！”一位朋友大声称赞，“这种味道从未尝过！”En: "What an interesting taste!" one friend loudly praised, "I've never tasted such a flavor before!"Zh: 经过这场小小的混乱，明和莲偷偷相视一笑。En: After the small chaos, Ming and Lian exchanged a sneaky smile.Zh: 虽然这并不是原始食谱，但他们的创新获得了大家的喜爱。En: Although it wasn't the original recipe, their innovation was loved by everyone.Zh: 明终于意识到，原来创造力和灵活性也能让自己出彩。En: Ming finally realized that creativity and flexibility could also make him stand out.Zh: 后来，这种辣味饺子在当地成为一种新风潮，几个街区以外的人也慕名而来。En: Later, this spicy dumpling became a new trend locally, with people from several blocks away coming to try them.Zh: 在新年夜的家宴上，明骄傲地为家人端上了他的“特别版”饺子。En: At the New Year's Eve family banquet, Ming proudly served his "special edition" dumplings to his family.Zh: 莲一边夹起一个小小的辣饺子，一边开玩笑说：“看来，我们都学到了不少呢。”En: Playfully, Lian picked up a small spicy dumpling and joked, "Looks like we've learned quite a bit!"Zh: 明自信地微笑，而莲则莞尔一笑。En: Ming smiled confidently, while Lian gave a gentle smile in return.Zh: 他们知道，这场饺子挑战不仅带来了欢声笑语，更给他们的新年庆典增添了意外的惊喜。En: They knew that this dumpling challenge brought not only laughter but also an unexpected surprise to their New Year celebration.Zh: 故事，在这快乐与满意中，划下了圆满的句号。En: The story concluded in this joy and satisfaction, drawing a perfect ending.

A crumbling 1849 house, abolitionist lore, and a quest to cook for the next hundred years—this is the story of how Maggie and Matt Noble turned The Tavern on the Square into a living landmark. We sit down inside the restored space in New Wilmington, where original beams meet brand-new wiring, and the elevator isn't a luxury but a promise that everyone belongs at the table. We trace their unlikely route from California kitchens and construction sites to Amish-country sourcing in Western Pennsylvania. Culinary training in Napa taught discipline and seasonality; small-town life sharpened their commitment to scratch cooking. The result is a tavern menu with a conscience: stocks built from bones, sauces fired to order, and a flagship burger made from a single, 100% grass-fed, grass-finished cow raised three miles away. Beloved staples like Korean sticky ribs and crispy-skinned salmon sit alongside pizzas that turn local harvests into a seasonal showcase, and cocktails crafted to slow and savor the evening.Plan a visit to this historic gem and bucolic community for a delicious experience.
