Bouquet owner to open new restaurant

Stephen Williams, chef and owner of Bouquet in MainStrasse, is opening a new restaurant a few blocks south.

Son & Soil will sell organic sandwiches and smoothies, along with coffee, and a few grocery items. It will open in the space that used to be the Cake Rack Bakery on Main Street. (Jeanette Werle of The Cake Rack closed the Covington location but still operates in Findlay Market.)

Williams – who uses a lot of locally grown and locally made products – will be using Sixteen Bricks bread, a local artisan bakery that sells mostly to restaurants.

Sandwiches planned include cranberry walnut bread with smoked cottage ham; Gruyere cheese and fig jam; and a wrap with avocado, Kentucky mushrooms, pickled red onion, brown rice, arugula and white-bean hummus. Smoothies will include one with peach, avocado, spinach and homemade cashew milk.

The restaurant will also serve Lookout Joe's coffee, sell some Sixteen Bricks bread and produce delivered from local farms.
