Farm to Table

Farm to Table is not a new concept; in fact it has been around for many, many years. Farmers Markets have long been an important part of the farm to table concept. Essentially farm to table means “harnessing the produce and livestock of locally grown farmers and ranchers; to put it simply, buying local.”

Over the years, the farm to table concept has grown into a restaurant concept where the restaurant’s ingredients are sourced as locally as possible, meaning they tend to be very fresh, and they have been through a minimal series of middlemen, if any, literally going directly from the farm to the table.

The farm-to-table restaurant trend is part of a larger movement to eat as locally as possible, taking advantage of seasonally available fruits and vegetables and focusing on the environmental and cultural impacts of farming. As a general rule, farm-to-table restaurants readily identify themselves, as the farm-to-table concept is considered a selling point.

Here are just a few of the top designated certified Farm to Table restaurants in Florida where you can expect fresh local ingredients, fresh from the farm:

Mexican Cookbook: Mexican Food History and Mexican Every Day Cuisine

by Aron Smith

There are many reasons to travel to Mexico; from the beaches of the Mayan Riviera to dream islands like Holbox and Cozumel, passing through the Mayan ruins of Teotihuacan to the capital Mexico City.

Mexican cuisine remains one of the most beloved and appreciated outside the country of origin, immediately after the Asian ones, such as Japanese or Chinese. It may be that it comes very close to the tastes of texas, it may be the inevitable presence of chili, but Mexican food has always been a huge success.

Foodie Fun Facts

4%

Cheese is the most stolen food in the world. In fact, it’s stolen so much it has its own percentage! About 4% of all cheese made around the globe ends up stolen. There’s even a black market for cheese!

100

One fast food burger can have meat from 100 different cows. It sounds like a crazy amount, but the ground beef used to make burgers, both in fast food places and grocery stores, is made of a collection of muscle tissues.

70%

Although we may be accustomed to burgers, goat meat accounts for 70% of the red meat eaten globally. This is great news because goats are better for you and the environment.

1:4 60%

Humans’ DNA is 60% the same as bananas. Our genes are comprised of 3 billion building blocks which are surprisingly un-unique. From this, 60% of our genes are identical to that of a banana.

One in four hazelnuts end up in Nutella. Nutella is so popular, 25% of all hazelnuts end up in a jar! Since they’re in such high demand, some universities are trying to grow them in labs in order to negate global shortages.

49%

During the Revolutionary War, the Americans would avoid sandwiches due to their association and origin in Britain. Clearly, that has changed today, after a 2014 study found that 49% of Americans over 20 eat one sandwich every day.

40% 200

Australians eat the most meat. Coming in at a whopping 200 pounds per person every year, Australians take first place, but are still closely followed by Americans.

Specifically, a whopping 40% of produce grown is never sold just because it’s too ugly. Because consumers won’t buy imperfect fruits or veggies, grocery stores, in turn, refuse to stock them.

2.5 Billion

McDonald’s sells 2.5 billion hamburgers per year. That equates to 75 McDonald’s hamburgers sold every second, every day, or 6.5 million hamburgers each day.

Cuisine Gadgets

If you’re in the mood to try your hand at preparing international cuisine, you may want to check out this list we’ve prepared featuring gadgets designed to help you navigate your way through just about any recipe you plan to tackle.

Make authentic, rich, and spellbinding salsas and guacamole with the aid of a beautiful and efficient molcajete. Perfect for replicating traditional recipes, a molcajete allows you to grind up herbs, spices, grains, and a range of fruits and vegetables, to make spreads, sauces, and dishes with smooth textures and balanced flavors. amazon.com

No home chef can cook truly authentic paella without using one of the most iconic pieces of kitchenware in Spanish restaurants and tapas bars: the paella pan. Paella pans are designed to be able to prepare large quantities of golden paella. The design distributes the heat equally across its large volume, allowing you to gently cook the rice, vegetables, and delicious meats together in harmony. amazon.com

The glistening chrome exterior and the sight of fresh pasta squeezing through the rollers are synonymous with Italian kitchens. Italian cooking is at its most breathtaking when everything is prepared from scratch. Even the most luxurious of storebought pasta cannot compare with preparing your own.

amazon.com

Do you dream of sliding a freshly baked Neopolitan pizza from the heat of your outdoor stone oven? A pizza stone gives you an authentic yet practical way to bake your pizzas and other dough. Pizza stones can be used in your home kitchen oven. Their texture and ability to evenly distribute heat allow for an even, crisp bake, and that iconic stonebaked taste. amazon.com

Elevate your European-inspired casseroles, stews, and meat dishes by staying true to the centuries-old Northern European technique of cooking in cast iron cookware. A Dutch-French oven pot is surprisingly lightweight, despite its robust appearance. It is key to capturing authentic flavor and texture when cooking various French and Nothern Europe classics. amazon.com

Crepes are a surefire way to add a generous dose of French-inspired sweet or savory to your dinner party or brunch. A crepe pan’s tapered rim allows you to cook flawless crepes, in a quick, balanced way. Durable, yet easy to handle, crepe pans are a welcome addition to any worldly home kitchen. amazon.com

If you or a foodie close to you longs for spicy meat tacos or cheese-smothered enchiladas, a tortilla press will undoubtedly be a great addition to the kitchen. Passionate chefs and foodies will tell you that store-bought tortillas simply cannot come close to the fresh, delicate taste of homemade tortillas. amazon.com

Foodie Travel Destinations

Discovering new food can be the whole reason many of us travel. It’s simply all about that destination meal. According to Eater.com, a renowned foodie source, there’s good food everywhere, but destination meals are different. They whisk travelers from their cooking routines and familiar takeout spots, drawing them out with flavors that can’t be replicated, service that can’t be matched, and most of all, a story that can’t be told elsewhere. Below, you’ll find Eater’s best foodie cities with captivating stories written by a diverse cast of chefs, home cooks, street hawkers, and restaurateurs telling us why we need to visit these cities right NOW.

Guadalajara, Mexico

Street Food - Guadalajara, Mexico

Markham, Canada

Guadalajara is the new Mexico City. After years in the shadow of CDMX, Tapatíos are threatening to nab the title as the country’s gastronomic center. Financed by local tech and tequila industries, celebrated young chefs are drawing international diners and expanding on their parents’ success. The buzz builds on the city’s famed taquerias, fondas, and street food, as well as Jalisco’s ancestral agave spirits. It’s also a destination for mariscos, spicy tortas ahogadas doused in incendiary Yahualica chile salsa, and antojitos (snacks) like red and green enchiladas and crispy tacos dorados. And then there’s birria, found at honored institutions and street stands. Strolling through the city, sizzling comales awaken the senses with aromas of chiles, tomatoes, and spices, while young locals can be heard toasting the enlivened dining scene. Grab a glass. —

Bill Esparza

The most diverse city in Canada, Markham brings an amalgam of gastronomic riches from the Asian continent to its gleaming plaza s and bustling streets.

For a decade, construction has sprawled across Markham, always augmenting the suburban Toronto enclave. These new buildings provided space for new immigrants, further diversifying a complex community, and for thriving local restaurants to expand. More often than not, those places spotlight Asian cuisines, from high-end Chinese restaurants to strip-mall Hakka noodles to Afghani kebab shops. It’s no wonder David Chang, who runs restaurants downtown, believes Markham has the best food in Toronto.

Toronto imposed a longer ban on indoor dining than other major cities. But when Ontario lifted most capacity limits in October, it roused restaurants, cafes, and bars from their slumber. Joints are jumping again, and the neighborhood has resumed its rocket growth. Don’t make a quick stop to Markham on your next trip to Toronto; plan your whole trip around Markham. —

Faiyaz Kara

Afghani Kebab - Markham, Canada

Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia

Another city that never sleeps, the capital of Malaysia boasts an overwhelmingly diverse culinary scene. Take a listen to Kuala Lumpur. Most days the streets reverberate with hawkers exchanging friendly banter, utensils ricocheting off woks, chendol trucks rumbling by, diners chatting excitedly at tables spilling out of open-air restaurants. Then, in 2020, an eerie silence took hold, interrupted only by scattered footsteps echoing through deserted alleys. Lockdowns caught the food and beverage industry off guard. But the noises of dining have returned, along with brand-new sounds: Home bakers zipped by delivering bitesized Nyonya kueh, private chefs warmly greeted guests for homecooked meals, and proud locals paraded culinary tours through plates of nasi lemak and char kuey teow. The smells, sights, sensations, and of course tastes returned too, as locals and expats fill the streets again, not only in the city center but in lively suburbs and coastal enclaves. From the sound of it, Kuala Lumpur is hungry for visitors. —

Ian Poh Jin Tze

Saint-Martin, Caribbean

The Saint-Martin tourism board declared 2022 as the year of gastronomy, a signal that the dining industry is bouncing back from both the devastating Hurricane Irma in 2017 and the COVID-19 pandemic. The optimism isn’t misplaced; the island’s restaurants, from haute tasting menus to beach bars, are thriving, pairing delicacies like accra salt cod fritters with Champagne in celebration of the Creole and French flavors that drive the culinary scene. Unlike some nearby Caribbean destinations (including the touristy Dutch half of the island overrun with cruise ships and casinos), it can feel effortless to eat well in French Saint-Martin, even on a budget. Wake up with fragrant herbal bush tea and warm johnnycakes, guava turnovers, or pain au chocolat. For lunch, taste the oceanic bounty of fresh spiny lobster with crisp frites. Follow that with beef samosas at the bar paired with epic blended concoctions. And for dinner, goat curry or a nouveau tasting menu, followed by Cuban cigars and aged rhum agricole. — Maria C. Hunt

San Antonio, Texas

For a city named after the patron saint of lost things, San Antonio is great at holding onto its heritage. From the Alamo to the River Walk, the city is home to an assemblage of historic cultural landmarks, as well as institutions of tacos, barbecue, and other food traditions. Diners still rely on homegrown staples like the 65-year-old Ray’s Drive Inn (home of the puffy taco) and Schilo’s delicatessen (serving German-style deli meats since 1917), as well as decades-old local chains like Bill Miller Bar-B-Q and Burger Boy. Over the last decade, San Antonio has embraced change without losing its grip on its roots. Just look at the Pearl; following the opening of the Culinary Institute of America in 2008, the mixeduse development became a hotbed for dining, including Southern coastal eats at Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery and new Asian American cuisine at Best Quality Daughter. Same with Southtown, where restaurants like Little Em’s Oyster Bar and Battalion are becoming must-visits for splurge meals. — Polly Anna Rocha

A Treasury of Indian and Persian Miniature Paintings

Opening February 18, 2023 through May 7, 2023

The complex cultural heritage of India is woven into a rich, colorful fabric in this compilation of Indian miniature paintings. The first Indian paintings to receive notice and appreciation in the West were the miniature, created for the Mughal courts of India. Their realistically rendered tableaux of court life, warfare and portraiture appealed to Western tastes. Other works comprising this exhibit include Deccani: Muslim paintings from South India, Rajasthani: Paintings from the plains in North India, Pahari: Paintings from the Himalayan foothills, and the Dhruva Folios, which illustrate portions of the Prince Dhruva story from the fourth book (Pusan) of the Bhagavata-Purana.

New Treatment with

Jaw-Dropping Results

Premiere Facial Cosmetic Surgeon Provides Early Access to Jawline Definition Treatment

The first and only hyaluronic acid filler to receive U.S. FDA approval for improving jawline definition is now being offered by Volusia and Flagler Counties’ premier facial cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Curtis Schalit, F.A.C.S.

Dr. Schalit is honored to now provide the new JUVÉDERM® VOLUX™ XC treatment for the improvement of jawline definition in those over the age of 21 with moderate to a severe loss of jawline definition. During a clinical study, the makers of JUVÉDERM® VOLUX™ XC said 82% of participants reported satisfaction with the appearance of their lower face and jawline through the 12 months following treatment.

Dr. Schalit is one of only a small group of providers across the country who can offer this new treatment, due to his elite status as a Top 250 National Allergan Account, putting him in the top 1% of providers. Dr. Schalit received specialty training to be able to administer these injections and is now offering the treatment before it is released to other providers.

“I am excited to be one of the very first to provide this new treatment for my patients,” said Dr. Schalit. “Jawline definition loss is one of the biggest issues we see and to now have this amazingly successful non-surgical treatment available in our arsenal of tools to fight the signs of aging is huge and just one of the ways I strive to provide the very best care for my patients.”

JUVÉDERM® VOLUX™ XC is the latest in the line of specifically designed treatment options created by Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV).

Dr. Schalit is partnered with Florida Oral & Facial Surgical Associates, the top regional oral and facial surgical practice. To schedule a private consultation, visit drschalit.com or call 386-239-3600

The Goods on Grief

What to Send When Someone Dies

by Diane Michael

A phone call to your local florist is typically the first thing done when we hear that someone has died. If you’ve been on the receiving end of these deliveries, you know they’re appreciated but can become overwhelming quickly. Here are a few unique ways to express your thoughts.

PLANT A TREE IN THEIR HONOR

There are many services out there that will plant a tree in the name of the person who died. They can even be there when it’s planted and watch it grow every year. It would really be nice on the year anniversary to give a gift that has the coordinates engraved somewhere.

FOOD DELIVERY GIFT CERTIFICATES

Bringing over dishes is a long-standing tradition but also can be overwhelming. Sending gift cards to a food delivery service is a great way to help them not have to think about cooking meals and allows them to choose what they want and when.

MEMORY BOWLS

When all the relatives and supporters have left, it can become very lonely. Memory Bowls were created to nourish the soul and keep the loved one’s memory alive. With inscribed pebbles, crystals, and a stand to put the loved one’s picture or card, these bowls are made with great care for comfort when used. Many options can be found on Etsy.

All thoughts are appreciated but choosing to send unique items at this time can really make a huge difference. There are many other options out there. Take some time to find what’s best for you.

Dr. Curtis Schalit, F.A.C.S.
