Embodying the spirit of Pomeroy’s early Portland pop-up projects, including the dinner series Family Supper that she ran with her then-partner Michael Hebb, L’Échelle will first operate as an experimental pop-up — a casual no-reservations bistro open Thursday through Saturday — before transitioning into a full-service restaurant early next year, according to Pomeroy’s longtime friend and business partner Luke Dirks.

Stew Leonard’s, the cluster of grocery stores in the tri-state area, has separated itself for years for its family-run feel, homemade prepared items, and petting zoos. But no element is as campy as its animatronics. Some are at select locations, like the Holstein Family Singers (cows with a jingle written by Stew Leonard Jr. himself); while others are at all stores, like the Chiquita Banana. No two stores are alike when it comes to the mascots. Recently, Diva Cheese — a provolone who wears a fluffy boa like a Vegas showgirl — has received such an outsized response that the company decided to invite her on tour, at Stew Leonard’s in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, like the musical star she born to be.
