"On sunny days, Chow’s customers and their dogs linger on the front patio, while in the winter they’re gathering in a bar area, or around a rugged fire pit. Funky art fills the yard: A giant fork holds the mailbox. The Chow sign is composed of metal scrap. Owner David Touvel takes the farm-to-table directive seriously; he grows his own ingredients in the restaurant’s garden. Homemade bread accompanies dishes like the Blackstone — a keto-friendly compilation of poached eggs and thick-cut bacon piled on steamed spinach and a cornmeal-crusted tomato. Regulars keep coming back for the sides of cheesy bacon cheddar grits. Sweet, juicy, fat crabby patties can be topped with eggs or served in a salad. It’s a mellow way to start the day." - Barb Gonzalez
"Chow’s customers and their dogs mill around out front near the giant fork that holds this Northwest Newport Avenue restaurant’s metal scrap sign. Indoors, the earthy cottage pop-culture-inspired paintings hang in stark juxtaposition. Chef and owner David Touvel grows ingredients for the menu in the restaurant’s garden, which transform into things like salmon kale salads and seasonal fruit compotes over French toast. House-made bread accompanies dishes like poached eggs and thick-cut bacon, piled on steamed spinach and a cornmeal-crusted tomato. Cheesy bacon cheddar grits are a must-order side. For lunch, pick from honey-truffle-fried chicken sandwiches, smash burgers, Chow mac and cheese, or salads that are even better when just picked." - Barb Gonzalez, Jeffrey Stull

"The market and cafe Chow is now closed and its mammoth space has been subdivided; Doña will take up roughly 4,300 square feet on the ground floor, and there is no word yet on what will occupy the remaining two spaces." - Ellen Fort
