NOBLESVILLE -- Steve Keneipp, chef of The Classic Kitchen for 28 years, created his last menu, served his last meal and waited on his last customers.
Keneipp -- whose patrons came to expect to be smothered with attention -- closed his charming restaurant at 610 Hannibal St. on Saturday.
New owner Tanya Marshall, also owner of the Heavenly Sweets bakery in Noblesville, had planned to reopen the restaurant under a new name but said Thursday she will remodel it into a bakery production kitchen.
Keneipp's last menu featured tomato, gin and almond soup; maple-glazed duck; a classic Julia Child chicken divan crepe -- "I knew Julia for about 15 years, so she needed to be a part of this" -- and a turtle sundae, an original dessert he makes with homemade caramels, chocolate and Native American pecans.
"I wanted to revisit all of those things people are interested in having one last time," said the downtown Noblesville resident, who's traveled the world, then developed dishes that he served with a personal story on how they were created.
"We always enjoyed hearing about his travels," said Noblesville's Carole Longardner. She and her late husband, Dick, would go to The Classic Kitchen for many special occasions. They loved Keneipp's food, the way he presented it and his detailed descriptions of the ingredients he used in the dishes of the ever-changing menu.
"It was truly one of those spots in Noblesville that was culturally beautiful and a just a lovely experience every time you went," she said.
"There isn't any place like it," said Noblesville's Annie Cook, who's been a customer since the beginning. She had her annual Christmas lunch "with the girls" there on Dec. 21.
"The food is exquisite, scrumptious, absolutely out of this world," said Cook. Her favorite dish was Keneipp's rich Tahitian vanilla ice cream.
"We're very happy for Steve, that he's going to be able to try some new things, because it's been a lot of hard work for Steve. But I'm very sad for me," said Cook, who loves attending his cooking classes. At the most recent one, Keneipp shared his favorite holiday recipes during five sold-out nights.
Keneipp learned to cook from scratch from his mother while growing up in Vincennes.
After nearly three decades running his restaurant, he's ready to start a new chapter: relaxing, traveling to Brazil and the Caribbean, and writing culinary articles about his itinerary. Keneipp said he also plans to write a cookbook.
With all of the recipes he's shared through the years, Keneipp said, "I'm definitely going to be out there in a lot of homes."

***BACKGROUND***
If you're still lost here's a little background and focus questions:
For anarchists during the last turn of the century the debate between anarchism and decadence was a point of serious division.
Everyone knows that Oscar Wilde represented the union of decadence and anarchism best. But, did you know that he believed that decadence was the best expression of elegance, art and politics free from moral, political and religious coercion? He purposely emphasized the term "decadence" because he embraced all the negative connotations of the Dandy (or the vapid artist hipster) and felt that it was in the interest of anarchism to be the worst possible "citizen." The Dandy was the extension of this theory, a wholly depraved and self-centered person that was, in a word, ungovernable. The decadent movement surrounding Wilde helped to create a dynamic cultural movement that was pivotal in the anarchist rebellions of the 20's and 30's, in helping to create a social atmosphere that was anarchist friendly to providing material support for anarchist projects and anarchist uprisings. On the other hand, many anarchists criticize this philosophy as leading to an apolitical hipster-like population that is more apt to profit off revolution than contribute to it. Where do you stand?!
***FOCUS QUESTIONS***
You may choose from these questions, but don't bite off more than you can chew. You know what you think, so just make it work!
Which is more relevant to you, anarchism or decadence, and is there a time or a place when the two merge?
In an anarchist society what would decadence look like, or would it exist at all?
What are some specific strategies that anarchists can learn from the decadence movement?
Are there any failures that you have witnessed within the anarchist movement that could be avoided with a little dandyism?
When does decadence go too far and should anarchists be worried about the message of decadence?
Or simply write about personal examples of decadent anarchism or anarchic decadence.

Readers weigh in on changes at The N&O
Your turn: Last Sunday's column discussed the elimination of movie summaries from the Channels section, as well as other N&O initiatives to save expense and shift more content to the paper's Web site, www.newsobserver.com. Here are some readers' reactions, excerpted:
l l l
I read your article in today's paper titled, "Worries about the shrinking newspaper." I just wanted to say I think that in some ways, it is actually a good thing that the paper is shrinking. Although I am a Web programmer and spend most of my day online, what I value about the print edition is that I can scan through the main section and the City & State section to find articles about local transportation and land-use issues. I end up recycling the entire remainder of the newspaper without giving it more than a cursory glance. I feel bad about wasting so much paper, so a thinner paper will make it easier for me to justify subscribing to The N&O. -- STEVEN WATERS, Raleigh
l l l
I think the whole attitude of economizing yourself back into newspaper prosperity is about like the tale of the farmer who wished to economize by feeding his mule corncobs instead of corn. It is said the old mule began to like the corncobs about the time he died of starvation. I hope we are not the mule to your farmer.
My daughter, who is a guidance counselor in the Triangle area, says some of her high school students get their news from the likes of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. And a very few years from now, they will be given the right to vote. May God help us all. -- JOHN BISHOP, New Bern
l l l
I understand the need to reduce cost, but how about a compromise? Wouldn't it be possible to include [movie listings] on The N&O Web site and regain some of the perceived lost value? I suspect the cost to do that would be negligible and that most of the people who miss this feature are computer-literate. -- TERRY TENHOUSE, Chapel Hill
l l l
Your article resonated with us. For some time we've been noticing (and grumbling) about the gradual decimation of the editorial/text content of The N&O, while the percentage of the page area containing advertisements (which mean little or nothing to us) continues to increase. And the recent "retirement" of several columnists that we followed regularly has left a void that is yet to be filled. -- RAOUL & JERRIE LEUTERITZ, Fearrington Village.
l l l
Unless means are found (a) to continue the financial support of multiple (and competing) suppliers of real reporting and (b) to ensure that such reporting continues to be read or seen by a broad enough segment of the populace to create a national "information consensus," we will end up effectively lacking a Fourth Branch to keep the other three honest.
A society without accountability for government or corporations is a prospect I don't even want to think about. And though we're still blessed with McClatchy [owner of The N&O], the [New York] Times and many more suppliers of what we need to know, I worry that we're already somewhere along that road. You don't always know what you needed to know before it's too late. -- ANN THACKREY BERRY, Raleigh
l l l
The downsizing is unfortunate. The quality is also being compromised. Two pages for a barber retirement is excessive. A short column would have been adequate. This is just a sample of many other articles from time to time. Your column, and other staff writers could be shortened. Particularly when the content is biased in favor of the paper. -- HOWARD CUNNINGHAM, Raleigh
l l l
I love my N&O .... Love my paper. Love to flip the pages, love to cut out the recipes, love to send articles to my mother. I miss that part of Channels too, but that's the way life goes. -- DOT RICE, Raleigh
l l l
You and I both know a tremendous amount of resources are being diverted to online publication of the news. Any story in the daily paper is generally found online the day before it reaches print. Frankly, I think The N&O is making a tactical error in judgment by opting to rely on the Internet as the future prime source of reader captivation. To be honest, when I check online I usually gravitate toward CNN, Fox News or Yahoo for any stories I might find interesting enough to click on. I do, however, rely on the local print paper to fill in the other gaps. ... -- BOB SULLIVAN, Raleigh
l l l
As to The N&O receiving only "about two dozen complaints ... out of a Sunday circulation of more than 200,000," the nature of complaints is complex. Some people, such as myself, complain when we truly care about a business and wish for it to improve because we want it to survive. Other times we do not complain because we do not care whether the business disappears, or more cynically while we care about the business, we do not believe that our complaint will do any good. In that regard, I feel that this e-mail is a complete waste of my time, but I am breaking one of my rules of complaining and sending it anyway. -- EDWARD H. WILLIAMS, Raleigh

Recipes Article
With a new year will come two additions to the Herald-Republic.
The first actually arrives on New Year's Day -- Relish magazine, which will be included in your newspaper on the first Tuesday of every month.
Relish is not about celebrity recipes or where the stars dine. Instead, its goal is to celebrate America's love of food. From Wisconsin's cheesemakers to New Mexico's chile pepper farmers, the stars in Relish are the folks who make our food great.
Some of the notable elements of the January issue include:
* This & That -- Highlighted in January: Zinfandel grape juice, a cookbook focused on the bundt cake, cherries, a recipe for the Tunnel of Fudge Cake and the perfect diet book for eating out.
* Good Food Fast -- Chicken Dinner: January is a time for frugality both for our pocketbooks and in the kitchen. This article shares a comforting chicken dinner that's perfect for wintry evenings. Recipes include Salad with Orange Cumin Vinaigrette and Braised Chicken with Fire-Roasted Tomatoes.
* The Healthy Table -- The Power of Green: This article focuses on nutrient-rich spinach and features the recipes for Spinach Pesto and Stir-Fried Spinach.
* New American Farmer -- Apricot Heaven: Relish shares the story of Apricot King Orchard, part of the Santa Clara Valley's agricultural area, and its staple crop. Recipes include Apricot and Lamb Tagine, Apricot Meatloaf and Dried Apricot Pie.
* Entertaining -- Super Bowls: Just in time for the big game party, this recipe for Dried Cherry Chili can be made ahead of time and isn't your normal football party fare.
* Marketplace -- Must-have spices: ground turmeric, whole cloves, ground coriander, whole green cardamoms, whole black cardamoms and garam Masala.
We are adding features and recipes from Relish to the Wednesday Taste section, too. And more Relish recipes and tips are available at www.relishmag.com.
The next addition will arrive four days later, when American Profile magazine becomes a part of your Saturday newspaper.
American Profile was created about seven years ago by Publishing Group of America as a weekly magazine that tells the stories of small towns and big cities, ordinary people doing extraordinary things and both the common and uncommon events that bring us together and make a positive impact on our lives. Since its debut in 2000, it has become a weekly part of nearly 1,350 newspapers across the country.
Included in American Profile on Saturday will be:
* Acts of Kindness 2007 -- Readers describe the generous acts of friends, neighbors, family and anonymous individuals who lent a helping hand to someone in need.
* Hometown Hero: Blankets of Love -- Denise Dee's love of crocheting gained a new purpose when she began making blankets to give away to children in need. Her generosity has spread with her organization, Cover Me With Love, which puts knitters to work throughout the country to help critically ill children, homeless shelters, children of teenage mothers, and families in need.
* Health: Managing Medications -- This story offers advice on how to manage multiple medications, including information on avoiding drug interactions, and tips on how to save money on prescriptions
* And more recipes. This issue offers Spicy Chicken Soup and Carolina Chicken and Collard Greens Stew.
