I’ve been watching the rebirth of The Gateway over the past year or so with cautious optimism. It looked like it was about to receive last rights not very long ago. But, with the addition of excellent eateries such as MidiCi and, more recently, places like Chedda Burger, Seabird, and Punch Bowl Social, The Gateway is drawing hungry and thirsty crowds again.

Provençal-Style Beef Daube
I will never, ever forget the best bowl of beef stew I ever tasted. It was at a restaurant in Provence, France, in the town of Avignon.
