Made with fresh tomatoes, red peppers, onions, black beans and chipotle chili peppers, Kavarna's Chipotle and Black Bean Chili is spicy and good.
Kavarna has had many employees over the years, but one stands out for having pursued a career in coffee to an extant that frankly makes our jaws drop. Sarah Kluth (who met and married fellow Kavarna alumnus AJ Kluth) is well on her way to becoming the queen of coffee. Several years ago she moved to Chicago and began working for Intelligentsia Coffee. In a very short period of time she worked her way from being a barista at one of the United States' finest coffeehouses (Intelligentsia has this reputation) into a position in their Quality Control department. She's now one of a handful of people in this country whose job is literally to drink coffee. What's next? President of the Specialty Coffee Association of America? Here is her account of a recent trip to Peru in pursuit of coffee excellence.
