Uncle Lou was transferred to a federal ICE facility, John Morgan launched a $100K contest to name his new political party, Orange County mayoral candidates were pressured to resign early, a lawsuit over a Charlie Kirk-related firing was settled, and other news you may have missed last week.
BY CHLOE GREENBERG, MCKENNA SCHUELER, AND LIV CAPUTO & JAY WAAGMEESTER/FLORIDA PHOENIX
» Uncle Lou was released from jail into ICE custody Cleon Williams, affectionately known in the community as “Uncle Lou,” was released from the Orange County Jail last Tuesday and is now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Baker County Detention Facility in northeast Florida. His attorney wasn’t immediately notified of where Williams was being transferred, but after he was processed, Williams’ location was searchable in an ICE database. Williams, a 62-year-old bar owner originally from Jamaica, is being accused by federal officials of overstaying a temporary work visa. Williams first came to the U.S. through a visa program in 1987. Local artists, musicians and bands in the community have launched fundraisers and benefits since Williams was arrested and jailed on an ICE hold earlier this month, with proceeds intended to help Williams cover the costs of his live music venue, Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall, and support his family.
» Orange County mayoral candidates were pressured to resign early A group of labor unions that collectively represent more than 70,000 workers in Central Florida are calling on Orange County mayoral candidates who are currently in an elected position to resign from office ahead of a state-imposed deadline, in order to prevent Gov. Ron DeSantis from unilaterally choosing an appointee to replace them. Under a 2021 state law, elected officials who are seeking a different office must resign from their current position no later than 28 months before their term ends in order to allow for a special election to be called to replace them. If they resign after that deadline, the governor may appoint any person of their choosing to replace the official. Delegates to the Central Florida AFL-CIO — including representatives of the Orange County teachers union, the United Auto Workers, Transport Workers Union and Unite Here hospitality unions — voted unanimously to approve a resolution calling for local mayoral candidates to “protect elections” and prevent a situation where DeSantis could, theoretically, appoint a right-wing ideologue to local office without voters’ consent. This would specifically apply to sitting Orange County commissioner Mayra Uribe and Orange County clerk of courts Tiffany Moore Russell — two of six candidates who are in the running for Orange County mayor this year.
» Florida settles with state biologist fired over Charlie Kirk-related post Florida Fish and Wildlife Executive Director Roger Young last week agreed to settle a lawsuit filed in September by former FWC biologist Brittney Brown for $485,000. Brown was fired last fall after reposting a statement critical of the late Charlie Kirk on her personal (and private) Instagram account. The reshared post was a parody of how a whale might see the world. “The whales are deeply saddened to learn of the shooting of charlie kirk, haha just kidding, they care exactly as much as charlie kirk cared about children being shot in their classrooms, which is to say, not at all.” At the direction of Young, a FWC division director fired Brown, prompting the lawsuit, according to court records. Brown, in the original filing, alleged retaliation and viewpoint discrimination violating her First Amendment right to free speech. Through last week’s settlement, Brown will receive $275,000, $40,000 of which represents back wages. An additional $210,000 is for attorneys’ fees and costs. “All I wanted was my job back,” Brown said in a news release.
» John Morgan opened a $100K contest to name his new political party
As initially teased last month, Orlando attorney John Morgan (founder of the law firm Morgan & Morgan) has officially kicked off a contest to name a new political party he wants to create. The prize is $100,000, so make it a good suggestion — you only get one entry. Morgan first announced the contest after confirming he doesn’t plan to run for Florida governor this year to succeed outgoing, term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis. Morgan, a former Democrat, said both the left and the right are too extreme, and he wants to give people another viable option for a political party to affiliate with. You can submit your entry to Morgan’s contest at namethepartycontest.com.
» ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ payments from the feds are coming to Florida at last The first installment of the federal government’s promised $608 million reimbursements for the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” immigrant detention center presumably hit Florida last week, or will be coming ASAP, according to newly obtained correspondence. “Your payment request … in the
amount of $58,292,145 has been approved. The payment was accepted by our financial system on 5/15/2026,” reads an email sent from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to the Florida Division of Emergency Management. “Please expect an electronic payment to be made to your organization’s bank within 3 to 5 business days.” Neither FEMA nor Florida emergency managers responded to questions about what specifically the $58 million is for, or how many additional payments will be made before the full $608.4 million grant is paid out. The federal reimbursement can only pay for operational costs, not modifications or construction linked to the remote Everglades center. The payment is long-awaited, coming two months after federal officials lifted environmental holds that had tied up the funding in the first place and 10 months after the center opened. It also comes just weeks before the center is expected to shut down, as the New York Times first reported.
» County commissioner Nicole Wilson launched a youth leadership program Orange County commissioner Nicole Wilson, representing District 1, has launched a new district youth leadership council that’s intended to help ensure young people have a voice in the local governing process. It’s a volunteer-based council that will meet monthly, according to Wilson, who decided to launch the program after talking to local high school students about issues such as teen vaping and e-scooter rules. “Everything we do will affect them,” Wilson said. “I think about it all the time.” According to Wilson’s website for the program, the leadership council’s goal is “elevating community voices, conducting issue-focused research, and developing actionable policy recommendations that advance equity, opportunity, and quality of life for District 1 residents.” Applications for council positions will be accepted on a rolling basis. To be eligible, you must be a resident of District 1 and be a student in grades 9-12.
ELECTRIC YOUTH
Orange County considers new safety rules as rising number of teens drive e-bikes and scooters in ways dangerous to themselves and others
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Driving a car or motorcycle in Florida requires a valid driver’s license or permit.
But riding an electric bicycle or powered scooter, also known as a micromobility device, does not. And it’s becoming a problem, according to county staff, who are looking to address the issue through a proposed set of regulations.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office and school safety officials say a rising number of teenagers and young adults are using these electric-powered devices to get around, often operating them at speeds above 30 miles per hour. Within the Orange County school district, an estimated 11,800 students are now using these devices — mostly middle- and high-school students.
“We commonly see them over 50 miles per hour, even with the younger kids,” said Lt. Michael Crabb, discussing the issue with commissioners at the latest Board of County Commissioners meeting.
He showed alarming body-camera footage of teens zipping away from Windermere High School last month on their own micromobility devices after school. Some students rode against the flow of traffic or could be seen jaggedly weaving between cars across various lanes.
“They may just not realize that it’s illegal to go the wrong way on the road with traffic,” Crabb noted.
Unlike motorcycles, Florida law doesn’t require a driver’s license, permit, registration or insurance to operate an electric bike or scooter. There is also no minimum age requirement in order to use them.
“Micromobility devices provide a low-cost transportation option that supports local business activity, while reducing public and individual transportation expenses,” acknowledged Lauren Torres, senior project manager for
Ashley Lachance, Colton’s mother, urged county commissioners on Tuesday to create local rules for these devices and maintain compassion for parents who are trying to do right by their kids.
“I would be willing to bet that every parent has sat down with their child more than once and reminded them,‘Wear your helmet,’‘Use the crosswalk,’‘Stay on the sidewalk,’‘Pay attention to cars’ and ‘Look both ways,’” she said Tuesday. “I know I did. I constantly reminded Colton to be safe.”
Lachance said she believed schools “should seriously consider implementing some form of driver style education course or certification requirement” for e-scooters and e-bikes. “Not because parents are failing, but because every additional layer of education matters,”she argued.
Setting ground rules
Local community stakeholders, including school safety officials and law enforcement agencies, appear to agree. That’s why the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has proposed a set of regulations for county commissioners to approve as a local ordinance.
“There’s a lot of optimism ... right now to set some sort of ordinance structure that gives them enforcement capabilities in those municipalities,” he affirmed.
A state bill passed by the Florida Legislature this year could also add further statewide regulation to the use of electric bikes and scooters, if signed into law by Gov. DeSantis.
If signed, Florida Senate Bill 382 would require riders to provide an audible signal to pedestrians before passing, set a speed limit of 10 mph within 50 feet of pedestrians, establish a state task force on micromobility device use, clarify enforcement protocol and mandate statewide tracking of crash data.
“It has not been signed by the governor yet, but unless he vetoes it, this will become law as of July 1,” Crabb said.
Looking ahead
Orange County’s public works division.
“But this rapid growth in this type of device is also leading to an increase in crashes and trauma-related injuries. Law enforcement is actively addressing unsafe behavior, but they have limited tools, staffing and a lack of clear local standards.”
A national trend
During the pandemic, both e-bike sales and e-bike accidents increased. In 2022, more than a million e-bikes were sold in the United States, up from 287,000 in 2019, according to the Light Electric Vehicle Association. During the same four-year period, e-bike injuries went up 10-fold — from 2,215 to 23,493, according to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System. A study by the University of California San Francisco found that between 2017 and 2022, head injuries from e-bike accidents increased 49-fold.
According to Dr. Mitchell Michalak, a lead epidemiologist for the state Department of Health in Orlando, children and young adults under 19 accounted for 54 percent of all emergency department visits in Orange County in 2025 related to micromobility collisions. Thirty-seven percent of those ER visits involved children under 15.
“This is just emergency department visits, so this does not necessarily capture all micromobility accidents that may have occurred,” Michalak informed county commissioners.
The rise of e-bike use has also led to tragedy in the community.
Earlier this month, for instance, local 13-yearold Colton Remsburg died after colliding with a pickup truck in Lake Nona while riding an e-scooter without a helmet. He was on his way to pick up flowers for his mom for Mother’s Day. Sadly, he never made it home.
The ordinance, as proposed, would include rules on standard speed limits for micromobility devices, the ability to impound electric devices for violations, parental notification for minors, and enforcement capabilities — in the form of a non-criminal traffic violation — for “reckless” activities such as speeding, failing to slow down in the near vicinity of pedestrians, or weaving between cars on the road.
“We want to engage the parents,” Crabb explained. “We want to hold them accountable for the behavior of their children.”
Orange County commissioner Nicole Wilson, representing parts of east and south Orange County, first requested a discussion of micromobility devices in December. County leaders then asked staff to do research on potential regulation opportunities and gather data to inform their decisions.
From their research, staff found that several Florida municipalities have already moved to enact their own local ordinances to provide basic regulation for micromobility device use.
St. Johns County, for instance, passed an ordinance in 2024 that requires e-device riders to yield to pedestrians, prohibits more riders on the device than it is designed to accommodate, and prohibits weaving, reckless riding and unsafe speeds. The county further strengthened that ordinance in 2025.
The city of Palm Coast similarly enacted local regulations of e-devices in 2025, setting a minimum age of 11 to lawfully ride an e-scooter or e-bike on city streets, sidewalks and paths. The city of Winter Garden created a minimum age requirement of 15 earlier this year for the operation of e-devices as well.
Danny Banks, director of public safety for Orange County, said there’s a “lot of appetite” from law enforcement agencies throughout Orange County municipalities, including Winter Garden,“to see some step in enforcement opportunities” on micromobility devices.
County staff say 90 percent of the proposed ordinance for Orange County commissioners is ready as draft language. More research needs to be done, however, before a proposed ordinance can come back to the board of county commissioners for a formal vote. The goal is for this to occur within the next two to three months.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings — who will be leaving his office within the next year due to term limits — said he’d also like to see a grace period for enforcement activity. “The education piece is really, really important here, just to kind of create a curriculum working in partnership with the school district and everybody else to get that out, to educate our children,” he said.
“I want our children — since I have grandchildren — I want them to have the opportunity to know how to do better, OK? And that will take a public education and awareness campaign.”
There’s already awareness in the community of the risks of not taking action at all. Linda Sibley, a 72-year-old resident of Winter Garden, told county commissioners during the public comment period that her life “almost changed in a split second” due to reckless e-bike use in 2024. She said she was on an early morning run one morning when she was nearly struck by three teens speeding past her on high-powered electric bikes on the way to school.
“I don’t know exactly how fast they were going, but I do know this: If I had been struck, I would have been either killed or seriously injured,” she said. “Since that time, I have been passionately advocating for e-bike, e-scooter and moped mandatory safety training, not only for the students, but for their parents as well.”
“I shudder to think what would have happened to me, a 72-year-old grandmother struck from behind by a speeding e-bike,”she admitted.“Their school day would have just been a normal day, but my life would have been shattered forever.”
Brittany Wilson, another Winter Garden resident from Horizon West, added, “Without reasonable safeguards, it is only a matter of time before more serious injuries or fatalities happen in our community.”

COOL THINGS
A little A/C goes a long way in the Central Florida heat — here are some of the coolest things to do while beating the heat
BY CHLOE GREENBERG
It’s the same old story in Orlando again this year: We’re hot. You’re hot. It’s hot out.
But that doesn’t mean we’re going to let the unrelenting Florida heat get the best of us, or our summer. We’ve tracked down the coldest — and the coolest — places to go, things to do, shows to see and parts of the city to explore in Orlando over the next couple months. All of which have one thing in common: They’re indoors and blessed by a Floridian’s best friend, some good old-fashioned heavy-duty air conditioning.
All around the city and its surrounding neighborhoods, locals and visitors alike can find reprieve from the sun with comedy shows, art museums, the Blue Man Group, H Mart, vintage shops, bookstores, skate rinks, arcades and more. Here’s where to stay cool, cats.
Orlando Museum of Art
2416 N. Mills Ave.
Soak in some art, learn a bit about your community’s creativity and immerse yourself in all things inspirational at Orlando Museum of Art. Founded in 1924, the museum is home to a rotating series of temporary exhibitions and traveling shows complemented by mainstay works. This summer, guests can dive into the 12th Annual Florida Prize in Contemporary Art Exhibition, on display May 30 through Aug. 23. Bonus points for those chilly marble floors.
Semoran Skateway
2670 Cassel Creek Blvd., Casselberry
This retro skating rink offers daily deals and special events like “Old Skool Jams” on Saturday nights and “Family Fun Night” on Tuesdays, so there’s sure to be a draw for the whole family here. Admission prices for this summer range depending on the day of the week, but it’ll run you about $9 per skater most days.
Enzian Theater
1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland
The Orlando area’s very own arthouse movie theater has a fast-moving schedule of both cult classics and buzzing indie hits on offer nearly every day. There’s a bar, comfy seats and no shortage of cool A/C inside. Check their schedule for special matinees, shows for kiddos and filmmaker events.
Independently owned book stores
Various locations
You may not know it, but Orlando is a bookworm’s haven. The city and surrounding neighborhoods are home to a very special handful
of locally owned book stores and literary shops: A Spiral Circle, The New Romantics, Writer’s Block, BrightLight Books, Authentic Books, The Story Room Collective, BookBurn, Best Used Books and so many more places to get lost in.

There is an endless variety of Asian eats and treats to wade through in this massive shopping palace, as well as a food court and restaurants to take a nosh break.
Orange Tree Antiques Mall
853 S. Orlando Ave., Winter Park

It’s a great place to find oddball gifts, collectible tchotchkes and some eye-popping home decor.
Orange County Library System
Various locations

The Morse Museum houses the most comprehensive collection of the works of stained glass pioneer Louis Comfort Tiffany in the world, including the masterpiece that is the Tiffany Chapel.
Orlando Roller Derby
4801 W. Colonial Drive
The Orlando Roller Derby League is a nonprofit, skater-run and skater-operated league with several teams based out of the City Beautiful. This summer’s home game schedule features many opportunities to get rowdy with hometown spirit. Home games are played at Barnett Park Gym, located on West Colonial Drive.

445 S. Magnolia Ave.
Orlando has no shortage of homegrown music venues, but Judson’s isn’t just a venue, it’s an experience. One of the newer locations to hear some live tunes in town, Judson’s Live lives inside the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and provides an intimate listening room experience. It boasts plenty to eat, a full bar, and impressive acoustics and decor.
The Kitty Beautiful
360 State Lane
We could all use a little extra love. Downtown Orlando’s Kitty Beautiful is one of the city’s best spots to make a new friend (or maybe add a new family member!) with plenty of cats and kittens available for adoption and cuddles. Reservations are strongly suggested to secure a spot, where you can snuggle a few hours away and grab a coffee and some light bites.
Sak Comedy Lab
55 W. Church St.
Laugh your day (and maybe your borderline
heat exhaustion) away at Orlando’s own storied comedy house. Downtown’s Sak Comedy Lab is home to an ever-evolving calendar of improv shows from both local and visiting funny folks. It’s also the laughing-out-loud birthplace of some majorly successful players in the comedy world, most notably actor Wayne Brady, who went on to find fame as a performer on Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Orlando Science Center
777 E. Princeton St.
If you want to experience some naturally occurring thrills while learning about the world around you, Orlando Science Center has it all. With options and exhibits fit for all ages, it’s a great spot to bring young ones. Check out their calendar for a list of events happening this summer and beyond.
Putting Edge
5250 International Drive
Putting Edge really does put the edge in mini golf. This completely indoor, black-lit neon golf course is the perfect spot to test your athleticism (and maybe your eyesight) while inside in cool comfort.
Dezerland Park
5250 International Drive
This massive indoor amusement center offers plenty to do for the whole family, including a bowling alley, go-karts, a movie theater and more. Dezerland is also home to the Orlando Auto Museum, showcasing thousands of vehicles, altogether valued at more than $200 million.
Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn to Life
1486 Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista
Acrobatics meet animation history in this long-running show inside Cirque du Soleil’s tentshaped theater at Disney Springs. If you want a further leap into the experience, the “Page to Stage” option gets you a backstage tour, artist meetand-greet and your pick from the best seats in the house.
Our Orlando exhibit
Mennello Museum of American Art, 900 E. Princeton St.
Our Orlando is back for a fourth year, offering museum-goers a snapshot of the city’s visual arts environment as seen through the works of three local creatives. Artists Tasanee Durrett, Mado Smith and Martha Jo Mahoney display works fit to this year’s theme “focusing on a moment in an artist’s studio.” The carefully crafted exhibit is on all summer with shows running through lat August.
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit
7324 International Drive
What better way to escape the Florida heat than to test your knowledge of the ice-cold fate of the “unsinkable” ship that met an immovable iceberg? Orlando has its very own experiential Titanic restaurant, where characters share tales of their past while you dine as an honored guest for the evening.
A CHILLY DOZEN
12 amazingly icy treats to soothe your summer scorch
BY JESSICA BRYCE YOUNG
Compared to other cities, Orlando only has two real seasons: summer and summerer. By July, the air feels drinkable, your steering wheel could serve as a branding iron, and simply walking to the mailbox qualifies as cardio. Which means this when we start treating dessert less like a luxury and more like survival equipment.
Fortunately, Orlando has become a powerhouse city for cold sweets — and not just standard scoops. We are lucky enough to have Japanese kakigōri shaved so finely it dissolves on your tongue like fresh snow, Korean bingsu stacked with fruit and condensed milk, Southeast Asian snow bowls loaded with tropical toppings, creamy Filipino-inspired ice cream, old-school soft serve, Italian ice and every frozen hybrid in between.
Some of these spots are polished dessert destinations. Some are hidden in food halls or tucked behind other businesses. Some are wildly photogenic; others are gloriously old-school. All of them offer a temporary reprieve from Florida’s annual heat delirium.
Here are 12 of the best icy treats in and around Orlando.
Sampaguita Ice Cream
1235 E. Colonial Drive
Named after the national flower of the Philippines, Sampaguita Ice Cream has developed a devoted following for Filipino-inspired flavors that stand out from standard scoop-shop fare. The menu rotates regularly, but expect flavors like ube, pandan, calamansi, mango and Filipino-inspired pastries transformed into ice cream form. The texture is rich and creamy, and the flavors balance the familiar with the genuinely distinctive. Even people who arrive planning to “just sample” usually leave holding a full cup or cone. Located in Mills 50 alongside Orlando’s best cluster of Southeast Asian restaurants, Sampaguita is new but already feels deeply connected to the neighborhood’s evolving food identity.
Koko Kakigōri
620 N. Thornton Ave.
Behind Kaya in Mills 50 sits one of Orlando’s most quietly magical dessert experiences. Koko Kakigōri specializes in authentic Japanese kakig ō ri: ice shaved so impossibly fine it barely resembles ice at all. Instead, it arrives as a towering, cloudlike sculpture layered with house-made syrups and fruit. Every serving feels meticulously assembled rather than mass-produced; even the ceramic serving bowls themselves are handmade.
On brutally hot days, sitting beneath the bodhi tree on the shaded seating area with a melting mountain of kakigōri in front of you feels less like dessert and more like emotional recovery. It’s Friday-Sunday only, and once they sell out, they close up, so don’t dilly-dally.
Freeze Your Brain Shave Ice
7725 Turkey Lake Road
International Drive can be sensory overload, which makes Freeze Your Brain a welcome sugar-fueled cooldown stop amid the tourist chaos. The shop specializes in Hawaiian-style shave ice, crunchy crystals with vividly colored syrups, giant portions and customizable toppings. There are ice cream combinations hidden beneath the shave ice, “snow caps” and tropical flavors designed specifically for weather that feels like a personal attack. It’s cheerful, unapologetically touristy and exactly the sort of sticky-handed summer experience that works best when temperatures hit triple digits.
Saigon Snow
1110 E. Colonial Drive
Inside Asian food hub Mills Market, Saigon Snow delivers Southeast Asian-inspired creations that somehow manage to feel both decadent and refreshing at the same time. Chef Hung Huynh — winner of Bravo’s Top Chef Season 3 — built the concept around the tropical flavors of Vietnamese street desserts. His standout is the Ube Snow, a gigantic bowl of fluffy shaved snow topped with pandan mochi, jackfruit, condensed milk and vibrant purple ube syrup that makes the whole thing look almost psychedelic. The portions are massive enough to share, though you may regret offering to after your first bite. The texture mix is the real magic: chewy mochi, airy ice shavings, fresh fruit and creamy drizzles colliding in every spoonful.
KŌRI Bakery + Dessert
721 N. Mills Ave.
At KŌRI Bakery + Dessert, owner Gillian Lau turns cold desserts into maximalist comfort food. The Mills 50 dessert shop serves elaborate shaved snow bowls piled with whipped cream, mochi, syrups, fruit and ice cream, creating desserts that feel somewhere between a parfait, a sundae and a fever dream. KŌRI also branches out into Asian-inspired cold dessert soups, jellies and specialty drinks, giving the menu much more range than the average ice cream stop. The textures are a huge part of the appeal here: silky panna cotta, chewy mochi, creamy soft toppings and fluffy shaved snow all
layered together. It’s sweet without being cloying — exactly the sort of thing you crave (need?) after spending 10 minutes in a Florida parking lot.
SnowBean
515 N. Alafaya Trail
SnowBean serves Korean-style bingsu, the wildly popular shaved milk dessert known for its feather-light texture and extravagant toppings. Unlike traditional crunchy shaved ice, bingsu uses frozen milk shaved into delicate flakes, producing something far creamier and softer. SnowBean’s versions come topped with strawberries, cheesecake bites, black sesame, matcha and fruit combinations stacked high enough to require strategic excavation. The lakeside patio makes this one of the more relaxing spots in town — especially around sunset, when the heat might ease down into merely oppressive.
Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream multiple locations
At this point, Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream has become part of Orlando civic infrastructure. The local chainlet built its reputation one shop at a time on small-batch ice cream with rotating seasonal flavors, and people stay fiercely loyal for good reason. The staples are consistently excellent, but the rotating specials are where Kelly’s really shines: inventive flavors that manage to feel playful without tipping into gimmicky territory. Their shops also hit the sweet spot between neighborhood hangout and destination dessert stop, making them one of the safest recommendations in town when indecision strikes.
Greenery Creamery
420 E. Church St.
Owned by the same couple behind Sampaguita, Greenery Creamery has become one of downtown Orlando’s most beloved artisanal scoop shops. The dairy flavors are excellent, but what truly sets Greenery apart is how seriously they treat vegan and plant-based ice cream. Instead of feeling like an afterthought, the vegan options are creamy, rich and thoughtfully developed in their own right. Seasonal ingredients appear regularly, and the menu tends to lean locally inspired without becoming overly precious about it. On sweltering evenings downtown, the line spilling out the door has become a familiar sight.
Propitious Mango
7501 W. Colonial Drive
One of the internet’s favorite frozen desserts has quietly landed inside Orlando’s H Mart. Propitious Mango — the viral Chinese mango ice cream treat that exploded on TikTok and Instagram thanks to its hyper-realistic looking, mango-shaped bars — is stocked at the Asian grocery megastore, giving locals a chance to try the social media-famous treat without boarding a flight to Asia. Instead, grab one (or six) of the intensely fruity, silky and refreshing mango-shaped pops from the freezer case. It’s the perfect excuse to wander H Mart and accidentally spend $47 on snacks you can’t identify. Absolutely no regrets!
Salt & Straw
1486 Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista
The Portland-born Salt & Straw inside Disney Springs built a national reputation on aggressively inventive ice cream flavors. If you’re the kind of person willing to seriously debate olive oil versus hay as an ice cream flavor, you’ve found your spot. The menu features chef-driven combos like strawberry balsamic with black pepper, pear and blue cheese, or honey lavender. Even when flavors sound bizarre, the execution tends to win skeptics over. Sure, Disney Springs can be overwhelming, but this is one of the few spots there genuinely worth braving the crowds for.
Twistee Treat
Multiple locations
The giant cone-shaped buildings make Twistee Treat impossible to miss, and honestly, Orlando would feel emotionally incomplete without them. The local institution specializes in dipped cones, overloaded sundaes, shakes and old-school roadside dessert nostalgia. Classic and reassuringly unpretentious, Twistee Treat isn’t trying to reinvent dessert. They are simply handing you an enormous swirl of soft-serve and sending you back into the humid night slightly happier than before. And sometimes that’s enough.
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice
Multiple locations
Family-fave Jeremiah’s perfected the art of the heat emergency treat. Their signature “Jelati”layers Italian ice with soft ice cream into a wildly effective confection that somehow tastes lighter and richer at the same time. There are seemingly hundreds of flavors — tropical fruit, sour candy-inspired options, creamsicle — and the texture is somewhere between slush and sorbet. It’s cold in the most aggressive way, which becomes extremely appealing around August when Orlando feels like someone left the entire city inside a crockpot. In a place where summer lasts roughly 11 months, that level of cold is less of a treat and more of a public service.

ACID TRIP
Sabai Thai Street Food takes guests on a bracing and invigorating culinary excursion through the alleyways of Phuket to Isan
BY FAIYAZ KARA
Let’s pause a moment and give thanks to all the neighborhood Thai restaurants of the ’90s and early aughts that gave rise to the swell of ridiculous (as in awesome) Siamese hotspots now in our midst. In recent years, Tuun and Isan Zaap, with their unabashedly bold and invigorating dishes, blazed a new trail for a string of newcomers spotlighting regional variants and street fare like Talay, Lim Ros, Thai Super Bowl, Budsaba and Lert, just to name a few.
In SoDo, Sabai Thai Street Food presents cookery from Phuket to Isan — Phuket because that’s where Sabai chef-owner Viradee Pissara ran her restaurant, and Isan because that’s where she’s from. She and her son, Alex, a wok maestro with experience cooking at, coincidentally, Lim Ros and Isan Zaap, form the rock-solid foundation of Sabai’s scratch kitchen, from which a tight and tidy list of items are fired. Or not fired, as in the case of the racy papaya salad ($11) with its julienned shreds
mortar-and-pestled with tomatoes, long beans, carrots, peanuts and chilies splashed with fish sauce and lime. As perfect as the salad is on its own, it also makes an ideal side bite when indulging in, say, panang ($14) with jasmine rice. That homemade curry paste is fried in a wok with coconut cream until it “splits,” bringing out all those rich scents and flavors.
Aromatics and vegetables are then added, followed by meat — soft, velvety slivers of chicken in our case. Not only was the curry “so well incorporated,” as my dining comrade said, but the lemongrass, lemon leaf and Thai basil gave off such an intoxicating fragrance. We couldn’t help but save some of that papaya to have in between bites of house-made Isan sausages (three for $10). Garlic provided the powerful bite in these porky tubes filled with glass noodles, cilantro, rice and the well-kept secrets of a multigenerational family recipe. The outstandingly alliaceous numbers weren’t

SABAI THAI STREET FOOD
3333 S. Orange Ave.

enough to quell the vampiric desires we had toward the beef jerky ($12), also house-made and served with a sweet and spicy nam jim jaew. Funnily enough, I got a pain in the neck from hunching over a bowl of veg-filled tom yum soup ($16) with surprisingly sweet and expectedly sour notes. The stock is composed of a chicken-bone base simmered for hours with lemongrass, makrut lime leaf and galangal. Its characteristic sweetness comes not from palm sugar but a combination of several ingredients they’re closely guarding.
“If you like that, you need to try the tom yum noodle soup,” said my accommodating server. Indeed, no other restaurant in the city is making this most signature of Sabai’s slurps. One sip of the singular broth reveals the four S’s of Thai cooking — sweet, sour, salty and spicy. A very specific ratio of pork bone to chicken bone to beef bone forms the stock that simmers for 48 hours with daikon, onions, crispy garlic, peanuts and a proprietary blend of herbs and spices. It’s what made Viradee’s stall in Phuket a culinary destination, and it’ll do the same for Sabai. In that broth is roasted pork, ground pork, bean sprouts, peanuts, garlic, pickled radishes and a choice of either rice or egg noodles (we opted for rice). Oh, and red-hot chilies. There’s always red-hot chilies. But fear not, all you capsaicin-phobes — heat levels can be adjusted to all tastes. For the chicken larb ($14), I went balls-out “Thai hot”; for the fried rice, I tempered it down to “medium” so that I could savor the liberal amount of crab ($17) set atop the glistening kernels.
When co-owner Bill Spradlin, a soft-spoken chap who happens to be Viradee’s husband and Alex’s pop, came by to ask us how everything was,“Great!” was our collective response.“Well, all credit goes to my wife and son,” he proudly half-whispered. As a testament to their kitchen acumen, a takeout order of pad thai ($14) from one lunchtime visit yielded a “Wow, that tastes so fresh!” from my better half, and that was a good 45 minutes after I picked up the order.
“Sabai” is Thai for “relax,” and everything about the place — its cozy quarters, family photos, chill music and, yeah, Bill’s voice, leans into that vibe. I relaxed my mouth onto a beautifully presented serving of mango sticky rice ($12) and damn near fell asleep right afterwards. Word of advice: Get that decadent dessert now. If you didn’t know, mango season is upon us, and those tropical treasures will peak over the next couple of months.
At Sabai, it pays to show your street smarts. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

My Two Cents — The third autobiographical animated series from Italian cartoonist Zerocalcare shows him struggling with the demands of running a small business, once again with an armadillo along for the ride to serve as the corporeal manifestation of his conscience.

Spider-Noir — Nicolas Cage portrays the Depression-era equivalent of Spider-Man in a gritty crime thriller that’s made some changes to the Marvel canon for the character’s first

The Four Seasons — They’ve already blown through the calendar year covered in the 1981 Alan Alda film, so for Tina Fey and her crew, Season 2 of this series remake was going to entail either tweaking and building on the events of the source material or inventing an entire fifth season. They chose the former, obviously, but was that really the best path to take? I mean, if they wanted to go the Downton Abbey route and eventually break out into theatrical, the title Six Seasons and a Movie was right there. (Netflix)

Wait a minute, doesn’t that sound like a certain show we all met her through? The difference is that the characters populating this office comedy are no Scranton schlemiels, but rather New Yorkers immersed in glamorous and lucrative pursuits like investment banking. Finger on the pulse, Mindy. If it’s any consolation, we already had you fitted for a guillotine anyway. (Hulu)
A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER (PHOTO COURTESY OF NETFLIX)
DRIVING MOMENTUM:
MURPHY AUTO GROUP TEAMS UP WITH THE ORLANDO STORM
Hurtling into relevance upon its creation, the United Football League’s Orlando Storm has spent its first season taking the field by... you guessed it... storm. Backed by a lively sports culture and supercharged fans, the Orlando Storm dips into the second half of the UFL season nearly undefeated. It’s safe to say the team is powered by more than just what happens on the field—it’s driven by the community behind it. There is no collective that shares a sentiment so closely as one of the Storm’s most enthusiastic partners, Miracle Toyota of Haines City.
Miracle Toyota’s overarching President and CEO--Mike Murphy--has grounded each of his dealerships upon his C-3 Commitment: a promise to serve customers, communities, and local charities. He defines Miracle Toyota as not just for profit, but also for purpose, and his pursuance of a partnership with the Orlando Storm was not a decision borne from monetary strategy. “Spring Football matters to me,” says Murphy, “because it provides players and coaches a platform to continue to chase their dreams of professional football in the NFL. The UFL also provides the financial resources these young people that will not make it to the NFL need to bridge the gap between college and the professional Workforce. Spring Football also creates an avenue for players who were in the NFL to get back to the NFL, so for these reasons Spring Football matters to me.”
Not only does the up-and-coming Orlando-based UFL team provide significant opportunity for players and coaches, but it also presents unrivaled benefits to small businesses such as Miracle Toyota. Mike Murphy notes deep gratitude for the partnership, deeming it a “fantastic marketing partner because of the affordability.” Feasible pricing on top of an honorable cause “allows local business owners an opportunity to market directly to football fans that are historically too expensive to advertise to during the NFL Season. For a local business like Miracle Toyota, we can afford to be a
local Partner of the Orlando Storm. We have not been successful in the past trying to find Tampa Bay Buccaneer sponsorship opportunities.”
Murphy’s respect and enthusiasm for the Miracle Toyota x Orlando Storm movement doesn’t stop there. “Since Partnering with the Orlando Storm, we have seen an increase in our WalkIn Traffic and Website Traffic,” he says. “With our pregame activations, ingame promotions, and the utilization of QR Codes, we KNOW that customers are coming from the UFL sponsorship.” It all ties into the duality of profit and purpose... the support of a small business that in turn feeds into local communities and builds up a sports league that lives and breathes opportunity for those reaching for it.
Taking it a step further, this community-forward partnership’s reach extends beyond small businesses and those involved in the team itself. Neither organization would stand for excluding its customers. Each Orlando Storm home game includes the chance to win the Miracle Move Down, in which watchers are hand-picked from the stands, and Mike Murphy himself breaks the news that their seats will be upgraded to field-level. Additionally, the dealership itself advertises Test Drive For Tickets on a daily basis, giving away free tickets to anyone who test drives a vehicle. The football team’s winning streak is one thing, but a win for the entire community is another.
At its core, the partnership between Miracle Toyota and the Orlando Storm represents something much more than advertising or brand visibility. From creating opportunities for players chasing their next level, to driving real impact for local businesses, to creating one-of-a-kind memorable moments for fans, the collaboration rests upon the union of profit and purpose. In a league built on community culture and rising momentum, that might be the most meaningful win of all.
Football fans in Central Florida have two chances left this season to experience the Orlando Storm: Sunday, May 3 at 4 PM and Friday, May 22 at 8 PM. Take a test drive at Miracle Toyota and get your free tickets or follow and message @miracletoyotafl on Instagram for 35% off tickets, courtesy of Miracle Toyota.

DAMNED IF YOU DO …
Aurelio Voltaire is in Orlando to screen his film Demonatrix, play the Abbey and maybe even squeeze in a trip to the Haunted Mansion
BY MATTHEW MOYER
Gothic renaissance man Aurelio Voltaire has tried his hand at a bit of everything — musician, writer, artist, actor, director, stop-motion animator, dark lifestyle guide and (ahem) the “Martha Stewart of macabre
an inveterate multi-tasker, hey, why not play his “spooky ditties” later the same evening? So it is that Voltaire will be at local horror con Spooky Empire on Friday night to host a screening of The Demonatrix complete with Q&A. Then on Saturday, he plays a show at the Abbey. He seems unfazed by burning the candle at both ends this week.
“If I wasn’t contractually obligated to be on a stage singing songs about monsters, or making movies and showing them at horror conventions, I’d be at both places anyway,” he tells OW.
The Demonatrix , released last year, is a passion project for Voltaire, who co-wrote, co-directed and even played a priest (there’s a joke in there somewhere) in it. The film tells the tale of a dominatrix who accidentally summons a demon, with her friendly neighborhood priest (played by Voltaire) and his demonologist mentor (plays by Hellraiser ’s Doug Bradley) mobilizing to — hopefully — save the day.
This is a project that consumed a decade of his life, and one that sees him drop his usual mask of wry amusement when he speaks about it.
“This was my first feature film I’ve directed. I directed TV commercials for about 20 years. I did a lot of stuff for MTV, Sci-Fi Channel, Nickelodeon, etc. I always dreamed I was going to grow up to make monster movies, and somehow, well, I specialized in stop-motion animation. At some point in the late 1990s, the bottom fell out of the stop-motion business and I found myself obsolete, so I decided to take up a more reliable career, and I became a musician,” Voltaire explains with deadpan comic timing
“A friend of mine, Jeff Ferrell, who opened for me in Seattle about 10 years ago, is a filmmaker, and he told me when I was ready to make my first feature to reach out to him, that he would help me. So he co-wrote, co-directed, co-starred in this film. From the time we started writing the script until the time the film was done was about 10 years, so it took many, many, many years of dreaming about it and working on it, and then a couple of really intense years of raising the money and going out there and filming it. So yes, it is a passion project. It had been a dream of mine to make a feature-length ‘monster movie’ since I was 10. It took roughly 50 years, but apparently your patient dreams come true.”
Despite having all the elements in place to result in a pulpy gory and gonzo grindhouse frenzy, The Demonatrix is not the film you’d think it is by the poster, prosthetics or personnel involved. Voltaire takes glee in reciting reviews lamenting that the film is “not horny enough,” or the poetry that is the comment “Why no boobs?”
7 p.m. Saturday, May 30
homemakers” — with no small degree of success. But it’s his feature film The Demonatrix that he’s currently turned his fearsome focus on.
Voltaire’s touring the film on the horror convention and film festival circuit. And because he’s
“It’s a surprisingly respectful take on a priest and a dominatrix, despite the fact that the title sounds like the setup for a joke: ‘a priest, a dominatrix, and a demon walk into a bedroom.’ You would expect it to be really tongue-in-cheek, and while there are elements of camp, people have walked away saying, ‘Wow, I think that was one of the most honest and respectful portrayals of a sex worker I’ve ever seen in a film,’” he says. “I’ve also had people tell me that they did not expect
for the priest to be portrayed in a way that was as sincere. … I wanted to make a film about two human beings who were so different and on completely different ends of the sociological spectrum, and could still find their way to being friends, or at the very least, good neighbors.”
Voltaire is an artist who has been consistently confounding expectations — with a sly wink — for nearly three decades. He’s a study in harmonious contrasts: He’s been signed to tastemaking gothic label Projekt since the 1990s but also been likened to Martha Stewart for his YouTube show on home decor for the darkly inclined. He even just published the handsome tome Gothic Life, which both dispels misconceptions around the subculture and instructs you on how to throw a diabolically great dinner party. For him the throughline for all of these endeavors is his own enthusiasm, not the hope of a big paycheck.
“David Bowie very famously said, ‘Never play to the gallery.’ I will be very, very frank with you, and tell you that the one or two times in my career, particularly my music career, when I did something because I thought that’s what would be successful, it’s always been a miserable failure,” he says.
What is not a miserable failure is Voltaire’s carefully cultivated and sizable fanbase in Florida. He has been darkening the door of the Sunshine State for many years, going from playing comic book stores to comfortably selling out much more spacious venues. We ask how he endures the heat and humidity and got some surprising answers.
“Well, first of all, I should tell you that I’m Cuban,” he explains.“So you could say I’m a tropical goth. I love the tropics. In my downtime, you might think that I dress in three layers of black velvet and sit in a dark room, but you’re more likely to find me in the jungles of Indonesia or the jungles of Malaysia, or on a beach in Costa Rica. I love the heat,” he says.
So inevitably we ask this tropi-goth what he’s going to do with his precious free time in Orlando. Go to Disney World, of course, but gothic-style.
“We love to go to the parks. I am one of those — I’m going to put this in air quotes because I don’t say this, but other people have said this to me — ‘insufferable Disney adults’ who loves to go to Disney World. My fiancée and I, half the time we go to Orlando, will make a trip to Disney World to go on the Haunted Mansion ride a couple times,” he says, also confessing to a hankering for Dark Universe. “Come to Orlando for the sun and beautiful weather, and stick around for the macabre tourist attractions!”

LOCAL RELEASES
For a little while there, industrial music was looking like a goner. Perhaps not physically, but definitely qualitatively. In recent years, however, there’s been a rising wave of new music that’s true to the roots.
Of the various strains of industrial to see a revival, electronic body music has been a redeeming surprise. The metal sect prevailed after the 1990s heyday until the techno-minded set took over the genre’s corpse. But here we are decades later and here comes EBM straight out of history to mount an underground comeback and restore my faith in humanity.
The latest Orlando EBM contender to emerge is Angel Husk. Though the name is new, the shadowy artist behind it is already known in the electronic scene for experimental IDM act H13NA and ambient noise project Chien Maudit. Now, he’s doubled down on industrial with two recent back-to-back Angel Husk releases dropped within a week of each other.
Besides a new stylistic avenue, Angel Husk is also a notable foray into vocals for a historically instrumental artist. “I had been wanting
that’s imbued the most DNA.
For one, Angel Husk’s singing could easily pass for Nivek Ogre. Moreover, most of both the A Wolf’s Goodbye LP and the Wolf Brigade EP sounds like lost material from Skinny Puppy’s prime era. The EP’s “Sleeper Cell,” for example, could be a B-side to “Worlock,” and the LP’s “Gasoline Coat” could be an outtake from Cleanse Fold and Manipulate
But overall, Angel Husk has nailed the vintage formula. The tone menaces, the electronic beats stomp, the synth hooks stab and the samples are ample. From the LP, “Bomb” pounds like late Front 242 and “Solipsis” carries echoes of A Split Second, while the EP’s “Hyperstition” chants and kicks like Nitzer Ebb.
As a bountiful introduction to Angel Husk, A Wolf’s Goodbye and especially the Wolf Brigade EP are good, orthodox works of classic pedigree. It’s revivalist industrial music inspired by the immortal touchstones of the canon. Both collections now stream everywhere.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Death Angel, Vio-lence, Incite: You can simultaneously be both legend and underdog. Such is the lot of California thrash-metal phenoms Death Angel, who are certified pillars of the landmark 1980s Bay Area thrash movement despite never becoming a household name like their scene contemporaries Metallica. Nevertheless, Death Angel have proven to be a historical triumph by reforming in 2001 after a decade’s hiatus to become an extant creative force that even earned a Grammy nod in 2020. Now they return to honor their legacy with a 35th anniversary tour for magnum opus Act III, where they’ll perform the breakthrough album in its entirety. Opening will be fellow Bay Area peers Vio-lence and Arizona’s Incite, who are fronted by metal scion Richie Cavalera. (6 p.m. Thursday, May 28, The Abbey, $27)
The latest Orlando EBM contender to emerge from the shadows is Angel Husk. He has the vintage formula nailed; the tone menaces, the electronic beats stomp, the synth hooks stab and the samples are quite ample
to start a project with vocals that was more influenced by synth-pop and ’80s-’90s industrial and EBM,” he says. The resulting Angel Husk is an uncanny and well-studied exercise in classic EBM. While he cites Front 242 and Skinny Puppy as core influences, it’s the latter
DJ Icey, Rabbit in the Moon: DJ Icey is the undisputed king of Orlando breaks, and Tampa’s Rabbit in the Moon are one of dance music history’s most iconic acts. Together, they’re a living pantheon of Florida dance-music greatness. In addition to DJ sets by both, it’s also a special birthday party for legendary RITM frontman Bunny. Talents like these are what made Central Florida globally famous in the 1990s. (10 p.m. Saturday, May 30, The Vanguard, $20-$50)
Hannah Stokes Band & Metamorphs: This special engagement with esteemed soulfolk-jazz act the Hannah Stokes Band and upward jazz combo Metamorphs is a bill that’s not just double but exponential. In addition to individual performances by the two local groups, Hannah Stokes’ songs will be made even more lush when her band is boosted by Metamorphs’ mighty horn section. It’s a union of Orlando talent filled with flavor and possibility. (7 p.m. Tuesday, June 2, Judson’s Live, $29.21-$41) music@orlandoweekly.com

Pathways 2026: The Carlos Malamud Prize
The Carlos Malamud Prize is a biennial group art
exhibition featured jointly at the Rollins Museum of Art and the UCF Art Gallery. The exhibit features work from six emerging artists across Florida working in a wide range of media ranging from the traditional, like ceramics and portraits, to the
nontraditional, like furniture and a Modelo beer can. The winner will receive $10,000 and a solo exhibition in 2027, and will serve as a juror for the next exhibition in 2028. The opening reception is split over two days, Wednesday at UCF Art Gallery
and Thursday at the Rollins Museum of Art. The winner of the prize will be announced at the Rollins reception on Thursday. 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, UCF Art Gallery, 12400 Aquarius Agora Drive, cah.ucf.edu/gallery, free; and 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Rollins Museum of Art , 1000 Holt Ave., Winter Park, rollins.edu/rma, free. — McKenna Fiorino
Psycho
THURSDAY, MAY 28
Soundtracks can make or break a film. Finding the perfect song, the perfect voice and the perfect genre to fit a film, especially a film dependent on an audience’s feelings, can be difficult. For horror, a soundtrack of joyous and light-hearted songs rarely fit the theme of a film; rather, music that boosts suspense or dread locks a viewer in. Bernard Herrmann’s tense and string-heavy soundtrack for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film Psycho did just that. Thursday, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra will perform that soundtrack live to accompany a screening of the movie. According to no less an expert than Hitchcock himself, “33% of the effect of Psycho was due to the music.” With the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra re-creating Herrmann’s masterpiece, the emotions and sense of ever-present danger in Psycho — particularly in the shower — should be a treat for horror and classical fans alike. 7:30 p.m., Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., plazaliveorlando.org, $40. — Paige Bright
