THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT Local Businesses (Still) Need Your Help Hurricane Irma came and did her thing, unleashing her fury on our beloved state from Key West to who knows where. Untold thousands of folks, including our friends, relatives, and people we’ll never meet were impacted and will continue in recovery mode for months to come. Our local businesses are still feeling the impact and their recovery will take awhile too. According to the brainiacs at Dun and Bradstreet, over 199,000 businesses in Palm Beach County were potentially impacted. What might surprise you is that 79.4% of Palm Beach County businesses are classified as a “small business”, based on sales revenue and the number of employees. It is our local, small businesses that need the most help. Small businesses serve as the backbone of our local economy, and when disasters like Irma strike they are impacted much differently than large companies with lots of operating capital. Costs like payroll, rent, utilities, and operating expenses continue while revenue drops to zero. Let alone the additional costs of preparing for storms like Irma. Tack on the high cost of repairs due to wind, water, etc and you’ve got a potentially bad situation that may lead to a small business having to completely shut down. Ask any small business owner what being closed for a few weeks means… So, what can we do to help? If your income wasn’t effected by the storm, we should consider it our duty as locals to go out and spend with those who were. We have plenty of loyal advertisers who could use your support, along with countless other businesses from here down to the Keys. Join us in helping to get everyone back on their feet. Thanks, The Atlantic Current Crew

Jayson Koss Delivering The Food and Being The Good

THE LOCAL BUSINESS ISSUE
I
f you haven’t heard about Delivery Dudes, you’re either living under a rock (where they can still deliver to, by the way) or are starving. Delivery Dudes is the local, and now non-local, restaurant delivery service that brings your favorite foods directly to your pie hole, and is the delicious brainchild of Jayson Koss. Jayson, founder and owner of Delivery Dudes, started the company in 2009. He doesn’t even credit a super mind-blowing realization, either. He just realized there was a need for it and, whamo, here we are. “It was just as simple as we knew that food delivery was happening elsewhere and, at that time, the only food you could get was Rotelli or Papa John’s. I don’t even think the Chinese restaurant was delivering,” Jayson said. “So we said, ‘wow, this makes a lot of sense to do,’ and [a buddy of mine and I] started it.” He traveled around a bit during that time period, at which time the company was more of a side project. But, when he returned to Delray in 2012, he went full steam ahead. The company started out small, with only about five to fifteen deliveries per day, but with determination, persistence and sheer personal necessity, the numbers improved. “I didn’t realize that it was going to be what I was going to do. I ran deliveries because I needed money to eat,” Jayson said. “My girlfriend and I, and our little dog, were living above Deck84. We had no money and were just running deliveries. I learned that I actually enjoyed it, it made me happy, and it was easy. A lot of it was because I could be honest with my work. I wasn’t trying to pull a fast one on the restaurant owners. I realized that I could create transparent win-wins.”
20
@ATLANTICCU R R E NT
And win-wins is what it’s all about. As business grew, he started needing more drivers and more people. He saw that the drivers were having a good time and were having the same type of experience he had. So, they had the great idea to grow the business by growing the team, and giving the drivers the opportunity to work toward earning their own franchise. “It’s another amazing aspect of the business. Five years later and it’s been non-stop,” Jayson said. “If you want to grow and want to do more business, you just need to solve problems. If you solve problems, you get bigger. Then, the bigger you are, the more problems you have. It’s a cycle that consumes your life.” But, with all of that, he’s still enjoying it and realizes that stress is a choice. Their mantra is “be good, do good, have fun,” and in that order. He knows that you have to take care of yourself to do good, and makes sure that everyone knows they need to put their own oxygen mask on first. “You want to do something that makes you happy. Sometimes I get lost and don’t remember that,” Jayson said. “I didn’t mean to start [the business], which is so weird. But it was a platform for making people happy, growing the local business, and making customers happy. I wanted the drivers to have the same opportunity I did. At the end of the day, if I go back to that, that’s what we’re making happen every day.” Let’s revise that. That’s what they’re seriously making happen every day. The company is now comprised of a couple thousand people including employees and drivers, and spans across more than 40 >>

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT
TH EATLANTICCU R R E NT.COM

THE LOCAL BUSINESS ISSUE cities in four states. On average, they make around a couple hundred thousand deliveries per month. “It’s really wild. It’s so stupid to even say it,” Jayson said. “To do 100 deliveries a day is so easy. To do a couple thousand is such a different game. Every step along the way has been so painful. There is so much shit that breaks.”
As far as advice for an aspiring business owner? “Get a job!” (Just kidding.) “It always comes down to two choices for me. It’s either give up or keep going,” Jayson said. “If you strip it all back it comes down to those two things. You’re only playing against yourself and you just need to keep playing every day and you’ll be better.”
But, there’s a plan to make sure it doesn’t keep breaking. He said that a really awesome CEO gave him some great advice, which he values because he has since realized that being a CEO is not for him. First, you need to set the vision. Second, make sure the vision is funded and that there’s money in the bank to make the vision possible. Third, make sure the right key members of the team are there in order to fulfill that vision. In order to pass the threshold from a small business into an enterprise, he realized that he needed to enable his people and not to micromanage them.
Right now, the company is focusing on stabilizing and protecting what they have on their home turf. They are working on making their franchise program more efficient and easy to open throughout the country, as well as continuing to provide a better service for their customers. He says they had a lot of growing pains because they grew so fast for such a long time, so now they want to make the company better, stronger and more stable.
“We are constantly setting goals, hitting them, missing them, reevaluating them and resetting them. Goals for us never had to be accurate, as ridiculous as that sounds. You just have to be working toward something,” Jayson said. “Do we have three to five wet dreams? For sure. But what we try to do is have three to six-month strategies where we know what we need to get done, and why. Then we reevaluate basically every quarter. It might have made sense two months ago and it might not now.”
22
@ATLANTICCU R R E NT
“A part of me thinks that if I’m not hard on myself, then I’m not going to be good,” Jayson said. “If it was to ever be over, and it ended somewhat okay, I hope that I would be able to say, ‘Wow, amazing ride, I crushed it.’” Until then, he’s doing one delivery at a time, helping one new Dude at a time, and crushing it one day at a time. @deliverydudes

Libby Volgyes The Real Foodie Photographer
24
@ATLANTICCU R R E NT
By Darien Davies
Y
ou might think that being a food photographer is all glamour. Who wouldn’t? You’re surrounded by food all day. But, that’s not entirely the case. “The story of my husband’s life right now is being surrounded by gorgeous food that he’s rightfully suspicious of,” said Libby Volgyes, owner/photographer of LibbyVision. “He knows better than to try anything in our house without asking first. The food might be fake, dangerous or delicious, so at this point he sees something he wants and just walks away.” But, for Libby, it’s all worth it. She is passionately driven to photograph food and make it something new, and to put another spin on it and make it her own. >>

THE LOCAL BUSINESS ISSUE
“I just realized that I wanted to photograph food all day, I didn’t know if it was going to work, but I was willing to try.”
Photo by Samantha Timmermann
Although there was no “ah hah!” moment for her starting her own business, which she did in 2012, she basically did what a lot of people think about doing, but don’t. She followed her passion.
“The No. 1 rule is to create an element of movement, even though it’s not moving,” Libby said. “I try and tell stories with my food photographs. I try and tell about the chef, and the dish, and the restaurant.”
“I just realized that I wanted to photograph food all day,” Libby said. “I didn’t know if it was going to work, but I was willing to try.”
For her, the best part about being a business owner is, hands down, how she feels about work. She is excited for every day that she gets to go into work, and wholeheartedly looks forward to it. While she used to live for the weekends, now she lives for the days that she gets to shoot food.
And with that attitude and drive, she took it old-school and went door to door meeting chefs and restaurant owners with the simple “Hi, I’m Libby, and I shoot food” one-liner. Now, she is one of the most talented food photographers in South Florida, but she admits that her first photographs were terrible. However, since she recognized the growth in the industry, and was passionate about it, it was the perfect overlap, so she just kept on practicing.
“I work probably 20 hours per week more than I used to, but I am so grateful for that because I love what I do so incredibly much,” Libby said. “It’s the way I feel when I have work ahead of me. I am so grateful to have a job that I get to look forward to.”
While she’s not tired of the slow motion egg yolk waterfalling over a burger patty (am I the only one?), she does try to make it her own.
In the midst of shutter speeds and apertures, she does still have self doubt, which, to her, is the only negative of being a business owner.
“You have to ask yourself what would excite you as a photographer. Then you show that,” Libby said. “Viewers are inundated with hundreds of food photos a day. It’s up to us as creators to give you something new.”
“You don’t get to self doubt on anyone else,” Libby said. “I go through periods where I want to take better pictures, and I always want my business to be busier. There’s no one you can put it on but you.”
She does just that. If you look at her photos, you almost feel like you’re looking at an art book that happens to have food in it. There’s a certain feeling to each photo, as if it transports not only your stomach but also your mind to where it could be, what it could taste like, and how the hell do I get to eat it?
26
@ATLANTICCU R R E NT
However, that is part of her magic. She is constantly using her passion and drive to push her forward and to reinvent the next picture. Maybe it’s not even the delicious bowl of pasta that’s steaming in your face. It could be the reaction of the person across the table from you who is drooling over his perfectly charred steak and hasn’t blinked in minutes.>>
THE LOCAL BUSINESS ISSUE
Even though she now has years of experience under her belt, there are still some foods that make her cringe. She will always consider the hamburger as the problem child, she hates having ice cream sprung on her, and she will always need her food stylist to help her get the perfect shot for the ribbon of cheese from the pizza slice. And, like her husband, she will come home hangry after a shoot because she either couldn’t or didn’t have time to enjoy the food she was staring at for hours. Much like a chef who pours his soul into his dishes and goes home to beer and pb&j sandwiches, Libby does the same. “It kills your appetite to shoot food all day knowing that it’s cooked for the camera and not to be eaten,” Libby said. “Eating all day was the good ol’ days. Now it’s a granola bar.” And she’s still forever hungry as a business owner, too. “Unless Thomas Keller called tomorrow, I can’t imagine a situation where I’d want to work for someone else,” Libby said. “Figuring out how to run my own business gives me a lot of joy.”

AJ Brockman The Man Behind Lake Park’s Arts District

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT
By David Rolland Photos: Ian Jacob
“L
ake Park used to be called Kelsey City. It was named after an arts patron, Harry Kelsey. A hundred years ago, it’s where people in Palm Beach used to go to party,” AJ Brockman explained. Brockman as the owner of The Brewhouse Gallery and The Kelsey Theater, would make Harry Kelsey proud with his cultural revival of a once dead neighborhood in Lake Park. Brockman has a unique backstory. Born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Brockman has been in a wheelchair since he was 2 years old, but never saw his condition as a disability. He became a visual artist specializing in virtual reality painting. His talents helped him make a living as an artist, but even though his portrait of the Obama family was impressive enough that it got him an audience with the former President, he started to burn out on the hustle it took to sell his work. Those frustrations fueled the idea of opening his own gallery not only to house his work, but to showcase the many other artists in the community. >>

THE LOCAL BUSINESS ISSUE
After an extensive search he settled on Lake Park as the locale for The Brewhouse Gallery. “We went for the spot with the cheapest rent and the biggest space,” Brockman said with a laugh. “When we opened in 2014 our model was an art gallery that had nightly events. Within two to three months we narrowed down the concept to art on the wall with craft beers and live music.” As an artist himself, Brockman was sensitive with the needs of local artists especially their need to pay their bills. “We rent out the wall space to artists for three month periods. It keeps the art fresh and it also allows artists to keep whatever money they make from selling their art. We don’t take any commission.” Being an art focused destination, rather than simply a bar with art on the wall, filled a niche and The Brewhouse Gallery quickly expanded when the convenience store next door went out of business.
thought we could run it.” Brockman saw potential, but after sitting vacant for a decade The Kelsey Theater was in rough shape. “The bones of a theater were there, but it needed a lot of work.” Brockman set up a crowdfunding campaign which raised over $40,000 which allowed them to rip out the seats and add an impressive sound system. “In Palm Beach there are no indoor venues of this size. We’re able to fill a niche so that bands that come down to Miami can add us as another date on their tour.” In the year and a half since The Kelsey Theater reopened, they’ve been able to draw national acts like Henry Rollins, Mickey Avalon, and The Dead Kennedys. Through donations to the non-profit he started called Kelsey Cares, Brockman has been able to pay local artists to create a giant mural. The 900 foot city block long piece of art is the longest continuous mural in the entire state of Florida.
But soon after the expansion, Brockman learned the owner of the plaza that housed The Brewhouse Gallery would be selling. Panic ensued. What if the new owners raised the rent or even worse levelled the spot to build a new development? After talking to the landlord, Brockman was able to buy the plaza for a reasonable price with one stipulation, he had to reopen the historic Kelsey Theater.
Seeing The Lake Park Arts District become a destination fulfills Brockman more than any riches that might come his way from being a successful business owner. “We created a scene that is very authentic. We wanted to build a culture around art. We’ve done it by doing things different. Seeing live music, live theater and fine art in an area that didn’t have that before. That is better than any paycheck.”
“I grew up seeing shows there,” The 29 year-old Brockman said. “I

Meat comes in all forms, sizes, flavors, textures, and so on; however, do we know anything about where the meat we are so aptly shoving into our gourds comes from? I’m not here to prophesy skepticism on the meat industry, but we can’t always believe what we see. At Grace’s Fine Foods, Chef and Owner Bradley Grace demonstrates a very transparent profile of the delectable, abundantly sought after meaty provisions he proffers.

Albeit quite Americanized in speech, upon listening to Bradley Grace for a period of time, you’ll pick up on a pretty contradistinctive accent. Having been born and raised in Ireland, Bradley Grace was very much shaped by his surroundings. “My family weren’t farmers, but my friends and neighbors were. When we moved to New York I saw the industrialization of the meat industry and didn’t want anything to do with it,” shared the Irish native. He was put off so much by the drastic difference in farming in the States compared to his home land that he became a vegetarian for a while. The frightening exposure to the meat industry in America did not hinder Bradley’s interests and knowledge in the industry of comestibles. When Grace moved to New York in his early 20s, he went to culinary school and worked a barrage of kitchen and butchery jobs that molded his experience with meat and his drive to sustain ethically sourced food. America’s larger metropolitan areas (such as New York) have a broader accessibility to the ethical standards of raising and producing meat that Grace stood by. “If I couldn’t source something geographically local, I sourced ethically. Small, free range, pasteurized, family owned and operated farms.” In a way, the practice of farming animals in the most humane way possible is Deck new to a 84 lot of people. It has almost become

niche in its own right, and people like Bradley Grace seek to turn this commodity into a norm. Having said that, Grace saw a land teeming with agricultural potential and demand but not enough awareness among its inhabitants. Nearing two years ago, Bradley Grace and his wife moved to Miami, Florida — the beacon of opportunity he saw was right here in our Sunshine state. “My goal is to connect people with the element of their home state which they may not know exists.” Bradley has done just that and then some. Incorporating his two worlds, Bradley began making sausages in Miami. Reminiscent of his life abroad, sausages (or bangers as they are dubbed in Ireland) were a staple in Bradley’s diet. He remembers going to the local butcher and ordering Irish Bangers — all of this playing into his mission in life today of recreating or rather getting back to the intimate, organic, artisan way of farming, butchering, and consuming. Grace noticed all the local breweries in South Florida and how they either cannot or do not serve food. He then chose to take his sausage operation and vend at different breweries. Working under a 10x10 foot tent with two tables and a grill, Bradley grew Grace’s Fine foods in the most grass roots way, and he is still doing it. He is a resident vendor at Barrel Of Monks brewery once
a week, but he also makes appearances at Due South, Accomplice, and an array of other local Breweries. At the open of West Palm Beach’s Grandview Public Market (located in The Warehouse District), among the other eleven local, respectable, and unique businesses, Grace’s Fine Foods will have a stationary fully operating butcher shop and sandwich counter proffering up to 4 different fresh hand-made daily sausages, up to 3 different cuts of beef and pork, as well as duck, poultry, and lamb. There will be a rotating sandwich list that incorporates the meat offered at the shop including the “Breakfast all day” sandwich. A mouthwatering, taste bud stimulating hand-made Irish banger de-cased and turned into a patty, topped with cheddar cheese and a fried egg, all encompassed in a fresh brioche bun. Bradley’s skills stand on their own with what he produces and how earnestly he produces them. However, his ethical and moral foundations in how he does what he does is what is ever more remarkable. Taking a trip to simply try one of Grace’s highly desired sausages is reason enough to check out Grandview’s new opening, but stay a while and absorb the culture, knowledge, and effort that was put in for you to know what you’re actually eating. @gracesfinefoods

T
hese days, The Funky Biscuit often has a packed house to see national touring acts or local favorites. However, owner Albert Poliak says that wasn’t always the case. Growing up in Washington D.C., Poliak was used to having lots of choices of where to see live music. “People down here weren’t used to having a venue featuring live music five, six and often times seven nights a week. It took some heavy lifting to train people that you can go out and see a great artist on any given night.” In his younger days, Poliak was a singer, songwriter, and touring musician, playing with a variety of bands. He eventually found his way into the investment banking industry, but his passion for music remained, so he juggled the two careers

over the next 28 years. One evening he was performing at Club 303 in Boca Raton. “The room sounded great and during a set break, someone mentioned the space may become available.” Poliak eventually decided to invest in the spot. Originally, he intended it to be a sleepy little musician’s hangout. “I wanted to tie the concept of music and food together somehow and needed a name for the place, so I sent an email to all of my musician friends asking for their suggestions and feedback”. However, when he was driving his two daughters to school one morning, he said to them “how about The Funky Biscuit?” “My daughters hated the name, but when I got home, I Googled it and discovered a site >>

called Urban Dictionary. When I saw the definition of a funky biscuit, I said ‘that has to be the name’.”That definition, which is prominently displayed on The Funky Biscuit’s website reads, “A beat or bass line that rocks the membranes of your brain, brings about a feeling of hedonism and ecstasy and puts a smile on your face.” The Funky Biscuit was born. When the doors opened in July of 2011, The Funky Biscuit was outfitted with a quality sound system and extensive backline, including Poliak’s favorite instrument, the Hammond B3 Organ. “I soon realized that this was not going to be a ‘sleepy little’ endeavor. I tend to do everything in excess, so I quickly became more aggressive with the type of acts we brought in and began to fill the calendar in a effort to really become a premier concert venue.” Among the heavy hitters who have performed over the last six years are Gregg Allman, Johnny Winter, Leon Russell, and Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna.

national acts coming to The Funky Biscuit include New Orleans favorite Eric Lindell on November 16, singer-songwriter Edwin McCain on December 8, and The David Bromberg Quintet on December 16. The Funky Biscuit brand has grown beyond Poliak’s wildest dreams, so much so, that he is looking to expand into other locations. That doesn’t mean there haven’t been challenges along the way. One aspect that has frustrated Poliak to no end is that The Funky Biscuit is primarily regarded as a live concert venue and not for the great food that it features. “Our food is fantastic and we are introducing a brand new menu next month. Our goal is to get the message out to everyone that The Funky Biscuit is not only a quality live concert venue, but also a great place to grab a bite to eat.” Musically, there have been so many great artists that have graced The Funky Biscuit stage. Poliak says, “I’ve been very blessed to have had the opportunity to share the stage with some great musicians over the last six years, and I am both humbled by and grateful for those special moments. However, I try not to let myself get too comfortable on stage because it’s not about me, it’s about the artists. It’s really their house…I’m just renting a room with a great view.” Visit www.funkybiscuit.com for a list of upcoming shows
