EOTO Live at Sullivan Hall

Consisting of Michael Travis and Jason Hann of String Cheese Incident the duo mixes the organic sounds of live drums, bass and guitar through a variety of programs and gadgets to create a style of music that is more likely found in a dance club, then a live music theater. What sets EOTO apart from other artists in this emerging genre is how the music is created. While some artists may spend hours pre-mixing samples and elements of music for their live show, EOTO uses nothing pre-recorded, giving them the ability to approach each song with on-the-spot spontaneity and 100% live improvisation.

The focus is on using fresh, local produce to create healthy homey food like they do at Mama Mia and Mother's. In fact Lisa's emphasis on following her passion in life and cooking with love are main ingredients at her two stellar restaurants …Why not take your valentine there for a hearty meal?

So you've been on a roll lately — your first cookbook is out, you were recently on The Today Show, you've been getting tons of media coverage — is there something in your life that you especially attribute all of this success to?

Lisa Schroeder: I think it's really just that the cookbook did come out, it is news. I know that there's no restaurant that serves mother food, so I know that we're unique — but now that there's a cookbook out, that gives people something to talk about. So I gave them something to talk about and they're talking about it.

Having traveled and worked in France, as well as having travelled and worked in other places where dinner was more of a family affair, how do you see comfort food, mother food, as fitting in to the "niche"  dining market in the U.S.?

LS: Well I just felt that even back in ‘92 when I had the idea for Mother's, there was no place to get the kind of food that I would make if I had the time. Thai, Mexican, Chinese, there was all of that — but Read the rest of this entry »
