Hungry for more

The food scene in Jupiter has been on fire lately, am I right? Over the past few years, we’ve had Beacon and Lucky Shuck open at Love Street, Lewis Steakhouse come to town, Blackbird dazzle us with its modern Asian flair, Lindsay Autry grace us with true Southern deliciousness at Honeybelle, and just last night I was at the grand opening of Josco Garden in Tequesta, a brand new restaurant concept that Stephen Asprinio opened at the old Josco location, with Chef Aaron Black (formerly of PB Catch) in the kitchen. And that is just the tip of the iceberg— there are so many more great spots I’m loving, if only I had the space to give them all a nod!

Which brings me to two amazing chefs featured on these pages: Pushkar Marathe and Jeremy Ford. Among the top chefs in the area, these guys are also longtime friends—and a hoot to boot! I had such a blast hanging out at our photo shoot at Pushkar’s house while they cooked up a feast (and I’m eternally grateful they fed me when we were done). Read all about their friendship and food philosophy in “Kitchen Confidential,” beginning on page 36.

In “Taste of the Tropics” (page 44), four more local chefs— including Blackbird’s Tim Nickey and Arturo Serrano of Leftovers Café—showcase the unique and Instagram-worthy dishes they created centered on fresh, tropical fruits. We also pay homage to the sandwich with a roundup of some of the most delicious handhelds around in “The Great Sandwich Hunt,” which starts on page 52.

Our special Spotlight this month (page 28) takes you to a hidden gem in Hobe Sound, Casa del Vino, where imported Italian wines and home-cooked authentic fare are the name of the game. And in The Local section (page 23), we highlight the clean cocktail trend with a few tasty potent potables from MOOD in Tequesta. Quick mention: We have begun our search for the annual “Ones to Watch” issue, so if you know anyone who might be a good candidate to feature, please nominate them for consideration. You can read more about what we look for in a candidate and submit nominations at jupitermag.com/onestowatch I hope you enjoy reading our April Foodie Issue! Something tells me it’s going to make you hungry.

Peace and blessings,

Giving back

What a full season this has been! It has me thinking about the many events Jupiter Magazine supports—there are several happening this month that I hope you will consider supporting and attending.

On April 8, the Wild & Scenic Film Festival returns to the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum. Last year’s event was spectacular, and what a beautiful evening it was sitting under the stars by the lighthouse and inlet and watching these short films. If you want to check it out this year, go to jupiterlighthouse.org for tickets.

On April 16, Jupiter Magazine is happy to support Bella’s Angels’ tenth annual Afternoon Tea and Fashion Show. This year, it will be held at The Club at Admirals Cove. You can visit bellasangels.org to get tickets for this great cause and read more about their mission.

The first annual Sunset Soiree for the Hospice of Palm Beach County Trustbridge is happening April 27, and I am thrilled to support this cause with the magazine, as well as personally. As quoted on the organization’s website (trustbridge.com): “Not your ordinary event, join this season’s unique twist on ‘farm-to-table,’ where local food, wine, and talent will leave the city and go back to the farm. It all starts with sunset cocktails, and then the night’s air will be filled with the aroma of culinary cuisine and riveting music. Local South Florida culinary talents will show off at sumptuous food stations, while top music sensations take the stage.” This year’s master of ceremonies is Master Chef Ben Robinson from Bravo TV’s Below Deck, and it should be a wonderful evening at Lady Jean Ranch in Jupiter.

Speaking of annual events, I would like to give a quick shout-out to Lori Griffith and her Chasin a Dream Foundation. This year’s We Walk as Lions Dinner and Fashion Show was fantastic. The “warriors” (children who have benefited from Chasin a Dream) strutted their stuff on the runway, and there were many teary eyes in the house as we listened to these kids’ incredible stories. It was a huge success, and I’m already looking forward to next year’s event. If you’d like to read about some of the children this event supported, visit chasinadream.org

I wish I could mention all of the charitable events Jupiter Magazine supports, but we do share photos from many of them in our Hot Shots social pages. These organizations do so much all year round, and if one in particular pulls at your heartstrings, perhaps you will consider lending your time to help or making a donation. Each charity is so grateful for our community’s support.

Now, sit back and enjoy the April Foodie Issue! Our editor has put together yet another great lineup of stories, so get ready for a culinary adventure. Let these pages inspire you to try a few local restaurants you haven’t yet visited and get those taste buds tingling.

Clean COCKTAILS

Jupiter is home to some pretty innovative restaurateurs, so it’s not surprising to see so many of them riding the trend to incorporate clean cocktails into their bar menus. A healthier alternative to traditional bar offerings, clean cocktails are made with fresh, unprocessed ingredients. Prepackaged mixes and artificial sweeteners are swapped out for fresh fruit juices and herbs, vegetable purees, and natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup.

Jupiter resident Amando Conway, CEO and founder of Liquid Mobility, has helped local restaurants such as Voodoo Bayou and Calaveras Cantina build their craft drink menus. “Folks want to be good, organic, and healthy,” he says, pointing to the newfound popularity of tequila and mescal, liquors often considered healthier due to their high content of agave.

Over at MOOD in Tequesta, operations manager Mike Stone says they make their own syrups, use fresh juices and edible garnishes, and infuse liquors with natural herbs and spices. “The original idea for the bar menu was to be an apothecary, to basically extract the spirit of plants and infuse it into cocktails,” says Stone. Try out this recipe for MOOD’s Marge Likes ’Em Hot cocktail—and visit the Tequesta eatery to sip some of their other clean creations. moodvegan.com —Valerie

ROBIN BLACK WALDER USES AN ANCIENT TECHNIQUE TO CREATE STUNNING JEWELRY PIECES FROM WAX

When jewelry designer Robin Black Walder faced a scary medical issue in 2015, it ended up bringing her clarity. Diagnosed with a meningioma brain tumor at the age of 44, suddenly her eyes were no longer working like they should. “I lost most of the use of my eyes for three months,” says the Jupiter resident. “I started doing wax carving to help restore my sight.”

Robin Black Walder

After undergoing a craniotomy to remove the benign tumor behind her right eye, she took anti-seizure medication for several months while relearning how to use her eyes properly. It took about a year for her to feel spatially “normal” again— and wax carving helped get her there.

Today, she uses the medium to create original jewelry pieces under the brand name Blackbird Jewelry, hoping to spread “awareness through adornment.” Using a technique that dates back to the third century B.C., she begins with a lump of wax,

GUARDIAN ANGELS

It’s sad to think about the possibility of having to leave your beloved pet alone in the world someday. But there are circumstances beyond control as humans age. That’s where Pet Cottage comes in.

The Jupiter Farms business was founded in 2012 with a unique mission: to provide homestyle care for pets whose humans are facing a disability or deployment that makes them unable to care for their animals anymore (or have passed away, leaving their pet without a caretaker).

Through its Lifelong Guardianship Program, Pet Cottage places pets in private homes with people who love animals but could not otherwise afford to have a pet. The lifelong cost of care for the pet is covered by the

from which she carves out a jewelry design. She then pours liquid metal over the design, casting an original piece and incorporating materials like sterling silver, bronze, and natural gemstones. All of her signature pieces are created with purpose: For example, Back Beads—which are meant for meditation like the mala beads used by yogis—are made with 44 beads and include a personal intention card.

Walder is generous in sharing her talents with the community. She created a special We Walk as Lions charm to benefit Chasin a Dream Foundation ($20 from each charm sale goes to the charity), and she regularly donates jewelry to silent auctions for local schools and nonprofit organizations.

“I am hoping that my creations help awaken the wearer’s mind to the present moment,” she says. “Awareness through adornment may be a reminder to slow down and breathe or step back from a situation.... Anything that can bring peace into your day.”

former pet owner (who pays a one-time $3,000 fee to place their pet in a new home) and Pet Cottage.

If that fee is a hardship, a donor-funded scholarship program—the Pawsitively Perry Fund—may help defray costs for some pet owners.

Currently, there are 52 pets in the Guardianship Program; those who cannot be placed for any reason fall under the Sanctuary Residency Program and are able to reside on Pet Cottage’s two-acre property with founder Wendy Derhak, who lives on-site with (at the moment) 10 dogs and two cats. “I always encourage people to have a plan ahead of time,” says Derhak, noting that pet owners and their families can apply well before they need to leave their pet to ensure Pet Cottage holds a place for when the time comes. “To give up your pet because it’s the best thing for them, that’s hard. But I have the greatest admiration for those people who do.”

A Taste of Tuscany

SILVIA AND FRANCO MININNI HAVE CREATED A UNIQUE SPACE IN HOBE SOUND THAT HONORS THEIR ITALIAN HERITAGE AND WHERE WINE IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW

by TRACY MARCELLO

Stepping into Casa del Vino on any given day is akin to visiting a cozy Italian enoteca, where a lucky few can imbibe and nibble in the company of owner Silvia Mininni and her husband, Franco. It’s this shared experience that Silvia says is central to the concept: She wants patrons old and new to feel like they have a key to the couple’s home. “People say, ‘I feel like I’m home without being home,’ and that’s the best compliment we can get,”

says Silvia of the intimate space, which operates as a boutique wine retailer, gourmet grocer, and reservation-only wine pairing experience. “We like that people can relax and enjoy their time.”

Born and raised in the province of Pisa, part of the Tuscany region of central Italy, both Silvia and Franco have a long history in the world of Italian food and wine. Silvia has worked as a public relations representative for multiple Tuscan vineyards,

while Franco learned to prepare authentic Italian cuisine with his grandmother as a child. In 2000, the couple moved from Pisa to Palm Beach Gardens, settling in Hobe Sound six years later and opening Casa del Vino in 2017.

In Hobe Sound, the couple aimed to connect their roots with their new home. “My father used to live in Florida,

and I would visit as a teenager,” Silvia recalls of her early travels to the States. “When we decided to move, we loved that the people here are authentic—what you see is what you get, and that’s who we are. We feel connected with the people around us.”

Upon entering Casa del Vino, which is located on U.S. Highway 1 near Southeast Kingsley Street, it’s hard not to be wowed by the abundance of wine—2,800 bottles fill an entire wall of the cozy space. The shop also carries a carefully curated selection of imported, organic, and artisanal products from all over the world. Truffle sauces, capers, olive oils, gnocchi, and chocolates line the shelves, while meats, cheeses, and spices round out the edible inventory.

Casa del Vino doesn’t have a dining menu, but guests do have the opportunity to sample some of Franco’s talents in the kitchen. Snag a reservation for an afternoon or evening wine pairing (the latter seats at 6:30 p.m. most nights) to soak in all the Italian goodness—but be sure to book well in advance, as a typical seating is capped at 12 guests.

“This is not a classic restaurant, it’s an epicurean experience with wine and food—an event every night,” says Silvia. “It’s an interactive experience so guests can repeat at home what we do here.”

During events—which include private parties, wine tastings, and prix fixe pairings—Franco prepares small plates, working ingredients from the shop into his own recipes to create a unique tasting menu reminiscent of his childhood. “I started cooking when I was 11 or 12, but that changed when I worked as an Italian paratrooper instructor for 25 years,” says Franco. “My passion for food started again when we moved here.” At any given event, he serves whatever he feels like cooking that particular day, so

prepare to be pleasantly surprised.

If Franco’s passion is Italian fare, Silvia’s is certainly Italian wines. Armed with a 2-inch-thick wine list bound in Italian leather, she shares her enthusiasm and knowledge with guests to ensure they choose the perfect flavor profile and price point (bottles range from $25 to the thousands). She also enjoys hosting winemakers—some of whom the couple know personally from their time in Pisa—for tastings and private dinners.

It’s these wonderful personal touches that encouraged Wine Spectator to recognize Casa del Vino with its Best of Award of Excellence last year, though Silvia insists it’s the boutique winemakers

who deserve the recognition. “We have a lot of wines from vineyards that aren’t recognizable [by name] at first sight, but they are incredible selections,” she says of the ever-growing inventory, which primarily includes biodynamic and organic wines from smaller operations in Italy, France, Spain, and California. “Beside the label, there are people, and beside the people, there are stories. We love to let people know what is behind the bottle.”

Book reservations for dinner events and tastings at least three weeks in advance by emailing casadelvinolifestyle@ gmail.com or calling 772.675.2228.

ROUGH Rider

by GEORGE LABONTE

It’s hard to argue against the fact that South Florida offers more to an avid angler than any other geographic region in the coastal United States. Spanning the remote backwaters to the mighty Gulf Stream and all points in between, our backyard provides enough variety to last a lifetime.

Over the course of an angler’s career, one may find his or her needs taking dramatic turns regarding method of transportation. For Kyle Sumnicht of Jensen Beach, this is exactly the predicament he found himself in when his appetite for blue water big game replaced his earlier interest in fishing the backwaters around Stuart. Sumnicht was venturing farther and farther offshore on his 21-foot bay boat, and after one too many rough rides back to the inlet, he decided a trade-up was in order.

His criteria for a suitable replacement included a ruggedly

built boat designed to handle the unpredictable weather changes all too common in our area. A good sea boat with enough freeboard to keep the water outside the boat was the first box to check. A no-frills center console without any clutter that’s easy to fish around and cleans up easily was also key. His basic equipment needs were simple: a fish box to keep his catch fresh, a live well to keep plenty of bait alive, a large shade top for sun protection, electronics capable of precise navigation, and a depth sounder for locating structure and fish.

When Sumnicht began his search, the Dusky brand was top of mind. It was Dusky Sport Center, after all, that had sold his father a 15-foot aluminum Sea Squirt many years ago. Sumnicht had always admired the larger Dusky models that the Brown

ABOUT THE WRITER

Sumnicht originally intended to purchase a 22-foot model, but his first visit to the factory led him into a deal he just couldn’t pass up on a brand-new 252 Open Fisherman that was ready for delivery and priced within his budget. Powered by a 300-hp Suzuki, the 252 is equipped with a large T-top, an insulated coffin box forward, a helm station live well, and Simrad electronics—with just the clean deck layout Sumnicht was looking for.

The winter seas encountered on the great blue water of the Gulf Stream now suddenly much more accessible, the next stage of this Treasure Coast angler’s journey is underway. ❖

Making a SPLASH

Change sets the course for the future—something that the venerable Ritz-Carlton clearly understands.

The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples first reinvented itself in 2021, when it debuted a 14,000-square-foot aquatic play area called The Reservoir. It features a 600-foot lazy river, kiddie splash zone, and three waterslides. Also poolside: private cabanas at the adultsonly pool and the Ría outdoor restaurant focused on diverse Latin American flavors from Mexico, Peru, Argentina, and wherever else Executive Chef Aldo Novoa Rodriguez takes his inspiration for seasonal menus. Whether you order the tacos de camarón estilo Baja stuffed with beer-battered shrimp or the bife de chorizo 12-ounce New York steak, be sure to finish with the house-made flan with

horchata ice cream and hot churros with abuelitachocolate sauce.

GOLF IS STILL KING AT THE RITZCARLTON NAPLES, TIBURÓN, BUT THE PROPERTY HAS EVOLVED INTO A TRUE FAMILY DESTINATION

Clockwise from right: Private, adults-only cabanas; a peaceful drift down the 600-foot lazy river; Ría outdoor restaurant; aerial view of the lazy river. COURTESY OF THE RITZ-CARLTON NAPLES, TIBURÓN

These new amenities are an inescapable draw for intergenerational families since there are likely to be nongolfers in the group. On a cloudless day, smiles are aplenty as grandparents emerge from the lazy river and children splash down a tandem slide while others stand excitedly at the free sunscreen stations in anticipation of afternoon fun.

But back to golf. The resort is home to the Tiburón Golf Club’s pair of 18-hole signature Greg Norman courses that host the PGA Tour QBE Shootout and LPGA CME Group Tour Championship each year.

Another change came last December, when the resort announced its name change to The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón to encompass a broader experience. In addition to tennis drills and fitness classes, these experiences include a virtual reality entertainment lounge; live music at the Bella Vista Lounge overlooking course greens on weekends; and complimentary, 45-minute “lifestyle” photo shoots. Morning people will appreciate the Early Bird Tour golf cart excursion along the certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary courses that kicks off at 7 a.m., before golfers tee up. An alternative is to drowse lazily before heading to the breakfast buffet at Lemonía—which evokes an Italian bistro at this Mediterranean-designed property—and then burning off the calories on the resort’s bicycles.

There will soon be more in store for visitors to the 20-year-old resort. At press time, the facade was getting a new paint job. And as part of the resort’s evolution, guest rooms and suites are being updated (to be unveiled in 2024), and another restaurant by Chef Rodriguez will open by year’s end.

Kitchen Confidential

An intimate dinner with esteemed local chefs and longtime friends Pushkar Marathe and Jeremy Ford

by TRACY MARCELLO | photography by BENJAMIN RUSNAK

Akitchen is not only where we go for nourishment, but it is also where we form some of our strongest memories and relationships. For two of Palm Beach County’s most celebrated chefs, the kitchen is where friendship began—one that is built on a shared appreciation for fresh seasonal ingredients, innovative cooking techniques, and really good food.

“We are both ingredient-focused chefs,” says Chef Pushkar Marathe of himself and Chef Jeremy Ford. “Both of us like sweet, acidic, salty, and spicy. We have an approach to a dish where there are multiple layers of flavors involved.”

The two first met in 2007 while working at 3030 Ocean in Fort Lauderdale. Marathe was a line cook; Ford was sous-chef. They immediately clicked. “Before we knew it, we were friends,” says Marathe.

Their tight friendship was on full display at Marathe’s home in late February,

where the two were having a blast cooking dinner together for a much-needed hangout night to catch up (and be photographed for this story). There were lots of inside jokes about their time as newbies in the industry, lots of Tiki Negronis and wine, and lots of laughs.... Amid all of the playfulness and revelry, though, the underlying respect between the two chefs was quite evident as they artfully moved about the kitchen preparing their feast and admiring each other’s techniques along the way.

By the time the two met at 3030 Ocean, Ford already had several years of experience working in award-winning

kitchens in Florida and California. Marathe, who had just moved to the States after finishing culinary school in Switzerland, had grown up cooking with his mother and grandmother in India while his father was in the Indian Air Force and had accrued a lifetime of knowledge about spices. In the kitchen at 3030 Ocean, the chefs worked in tandem, teaching each other skills both still use in their respective restaurants today.

“[Pushkar] came in wanting to learn and wanting to share, and we just hit it off,” recalls Ford. “The day I opened my eyes to his incredible talent was the day he made a very simple chicken masala. I still remember the first taste of that chicken. That guy’s spice game is probably the best I’ve ever seen from anybody in the world.”

Today, the chefs pay homage to each other’s techniques at several prominent restaurants scattered across South Florida, bringing a dining renaissance to the area with globally inspired small plates and tasting menus. Their talents have earned both men the honor of being semifinalists for a James Beard Foundation Award for “Best Chef: South”—Ford in 2022; Marathe this past February (this year’s winner will be announced in June).

Marathe, who lives in Jupiter with his wife and son, is the chef and co-owner of Stage Kitchen & Bar (pronounced staahj) and

Ela Curry Kitchen (pronounced eela), both in Palm Beach Gardens. At Stage, which opened just a month before the pandemic essentially shut down the restaurant industry, Marathe created an international menu inspired by his culinary school experience in Switzerland and restaurant experience in the Middle East, California, the Cayman Islands, Miami, and Peru.

He reimagined the menu to cater to take-out service during the pandemic, going back to his roots and adding curries since they travel well. He weathered the COVID storm, and his new curries became so popular, he opened Ela Curry Kitchen in 2022—a more traditional Indian restaurant serving

ever-changing chaat, or street food.

Both restaurants feature a la carte menus focused on flavor-forward ingredients like seasonal produce from Kai-Kai Farm in Indiantown, mangoes from Erickson Farm near Lake Okeechobee, and a lot of heat. “I am obsessed with chilies; they add so much height to a dish,” Marathe says of incorporating his own blend of spices into plates like bang bang cauliflower, wood-grilled peri peri chicken, and masala lamb chops with tamarind and cashews. “I love a lot of ingredients, but honestly, if you give me salt, some sort of chili with spice, some acid like lemon, lime, or vinegar, onions, and sugar, I can make anything taste good.”

From top: Ford whipped up a gorgeous salad using French’s Farm lettuce, house-made yogurt, turmeric vinaigrette, soft herbs, and pretty spring flowers; Marathe keeps fresh herbs on hand in his kitchen—curry leaves, mint, parsley, and cilantro.

Ford, who grew up mostly on the Florida coast near Jacksonville, where he ate lots of freshly caught fish, developed a passion for cooking during the two years he spent living in California when he was a teenager. There, his Sicilian-born grandmother introduced him to Italian cuisine and taught him how to use ingredients from her garden to create a true farm-to-table experience that transcended the language barrier between them. “I remember those ingredients really speaking to me, and I think from that moment on, I kind of figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up,” he says. “I wanted to cook.”

Ford, who currently lives in Palmetto Bay near Miami, is the chef and a partner at the Michelin-starred Stubborn Seed in Miami Beach as well as Beauty & the Butcher in Coral Gables. Foodie-show fans may also recognize him as the winner of Bravo’s Top Chef 2015 and cohost of TruTV’s Fast Foodies for two seasons.

In 2021, Ford opened The Butcher’s Club at PGA National Resort as a reimagined steak house that showcases his immense talent. At The Butcher’s Club, he creates standout dishes like Wagyu filet mignon with Ossetra caviar or black winter truffles, mushrooms from Gratitude Garden Farm in Loxahatchee, and locally caught wahoo crudo—a nod to his bicoastal childhood.

“I think the best restaurants, or the best chefs in the world, are the ones who are open-minded about all of this adventurous stuff going on in our industry right now and are celebrating flavors from around the world,” says Ford, who, like Marathe, uses fresh ingredients from local establishments like Kai-Kai Farm and Cod and Capers Seafood Marketplace and often adjusts his menus depending on the season. “We’re driven by

passion; we’re not in this for any other reason than to continue spreading this farm-to-table vibe and supporting the local community in more and more cities.”

Apart from the support they show farmers and small-business owners, both Marathe and Ford are well regarded as kind, dedicated chefs in a profession that isn’t always recognized for its niceties. There’s a genuine camaraderie in their kitchens that is reflected in the dishes each chef and his team produce. “The beauty of [Jeremy] as a leader is, he truly understands everyone’s potential,” says Marathe. Recalling their time working together in Fort Lauderdale, he notes: “He really pushed to get the best out of me, and a big part of where I am in my career today is because of our friendship. I’ll always be thankful for that.”

That friendship has seen them through nearly two decades, from the early days when they barely made enough money to split a sub (or, as Marathe recalls, half a sub), to jumping

off the ledge at a bar in the Cayman Islands into a school of tarpon, to celebrating each other’s successes. Their personal relationship remains strong, even as both are busy navigating busy lives raising families, running their own restaurants, and planning for the future. Both chefs were invited to host dinners at KaiKai Farm this spring (Marathe’s takes place April 23, while Ford’s happened March 12). Ford is slated to open a new restaurant in Fort Lauderdale toward the end of this year, and Marathe will open an all-American concept at a historic site in downtown Delray Beach with restaurant partner Andy Dugard in 2024.

Still, they collaborate as often as possible (keep an eye out for Marathe’s Summer Chef Series, where he plans to host Ford and other chefs at Stage), and Ford says they wouldn’t rule out working in the same kitchen at some point again. “I have so much respect for [Pushkar]—not just as a chef, but as a human being,” he says. “I would trust him with my entire bank account, he’s that kind of guy. Before we lay our heads to rest, I’m pretty sure there will be something we do together.” ❖

I finished it with a mango jalapeño coulis and avocado puree. It was easy to get inspired to create this dish, since Hudson’s is a Caribbean- and Asian-influenced restaurant so it’s part of my daily routine.

The Godfather ($12) has been on Carmine’s take-out menu since it opened in 1988. Arsenio Quinones, who runs the deli counter, builds the ciabatta panini with slices of prosciutto di Parma, fresh mozzarella, arugula, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, extra virgin olive oil, and aged balsamic vinegar and serves it with a side of gourmet potato salad. “It invokes a Little Italy feel,” says Shelby Giardini, the granddaughter of owner Carmine Giardini. “It has been in my family for generations—my grandfather’s father made it for his own family.” 2401 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens; carmines.com; 561.775.0186

BUFFALO FRIED CHICKEN Ste

Chef Chris Garvin was working in the kitchen at Stage and had a hankering for buffalo chicken. He roped in his boss, owner/Chef Pushkar Marathe, and the pair concocted a version with an “India meets the tropics” twist. Bell & Evans chicken thighs are marinated in yogurt with garlic, ginger, and smoked paprika, then doused in chickpea flour. After frying, the chicken is tossed with buffalo sauce spiced with lactofermented Fresno chilies and layered with blue cheese ranch dressing and a pineapple slaw. “It’s the perfect marriage of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy,” Marathe says of the sandwich ($16). 2000 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens;stagepga.com; 561.408.3685

MAINE LOBSTER ROLL AquaGrie

“When we created the Maine lobster roll ($38) for AquaGrille, the intention was to riff on a popular classic from my childhood visits to New England,” says Executive Chef (and Top Chef alum) Stephen Asprinio. The artful dagwood is composed of steamed and diced lobster tossed with poached leeks, fines herbes, and a Tunisian harissa–spiked aioli. It’s then spooned onto a frico, or cheese-crusted brioche bun, and topped with crispy leeks.

“The juxtaposition of leeks and lobster takes it over the top,” says Asprinio. 14121 U.S. Hwy. 1, Juno Beach; aquagrillejuno.com; 561.355.0438

CRISPY CHICKEN Heybee

Lindsay Autry knows how to fry chicken. The James Beard–nominated chef makes her mouthwatering iteration with tender, organic chicken she brines with lemon and rosemary. After dredging it in seasoned flour, it’s dipped in a buttermilk mixture and fried until crispy. “I really love the simplicity of this sandwich,” Autry says. “A few thoughtful ingredients create that special bite.” Her crispy chicken sandwich ($20) is layered on an Old School Bakery brioche bun with butter pickles and shredded romaine tossed with a house-made ranch dressing.

TUNA SALAD

Chrtopr's Kitcn

Christopher’s Kitchen still follows the same recipe Christopher Slawson developed for his eponymous eatery in 2011. To make the tuna salad sandwich ($17), Chef Harvey Gonzalez folds healthy ingredients like apples, almonds, chickpeas, and cucumbers into a vegan mayo he then tops with alfalfa sprouts and slices of cashew cheese. Choose between Sullivan Street Bakery’s artisanal multigrain or gluten-free breads, or have it wrapped in a collard leaf for a low-carb option. Pints of the savory tuna salad are also available to-go in the market.

CLASSIC ITALIAN HERO

Lyna's

Chef Mario Mette’s interpretation of a classic Italian ($15) honors his Neapolitan roots. Bread sourced from the restaurant’s commissary in West Palm Beach is heaped with soppressata, ham, capicola, provolone, onion, lettuce, and tomato and drizzled with red wine vinaigrette. Then it’s rolled and sliced. “This is a very popular sandwich in Naples,” Mette says. “I wanted to bring a taste of Italy to Palm Beach County, and now it’s one of our bestsellers.” 1548 U.S. Hwy. 1, Jupiter; lynoras.com; 561.203.2702(also at 5320 Donald Ross Road, Palm Beach Gardens; 561.249.1822)

Executive Chef Tavoris Ingram excels at cooking with fire. In 2016, he won the FRLA Rapid Fire Cooking Competition and now prepares flash-cooked dishes for The Twisted Tuna’s marinefocused menu—like the standout tuna tataki ($18). “We make ours with a twist,” says Ingram, whose version showcases seared blackened yellowfin tuna on a kaiser roll with Asian slaw, sake-marinated carrots, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, and a drizzle of eel sauce. The sandwich comes with twisted fries and cilantro slaw.

The pulled pork ($7.25) at Mrs. Smokey’s has a magnetic appeal. “Customers have come all the way from Miami for one,” says Elisa Caplan, who owned six Memphis-style barbecue restaurants in New York and Florida before opening the Abacoa hot spot in 2003 with her husband, Chef Scott Howie. The pork is smoked overnight, and diners can create their own variations with rubs and sauces ranging from mild to tongue-torching. It’s served on a sesame seed bun and can be paired with extras like creamy coleslaw, tater tots, Caplan’s grandmother’s prized potato salad, and more. 5430 Military Trail, Jupiter; mrssmokeys.com; 561.557.3800

Made with roast beef, potatoes, and gravy, the original po’boy was born in 1929 during a New Orleans streetcar strike. As the sandwich’s popularity grew, so did the quality of its main ingredients, which have included oysters and other seafood. At Lucky Shuck, the crispy Cajun shrimp po’boy ($21) is made with flash-fried shrimp coated in cornmeal and creole spices like cayenne, paprika, garlic, and ground pepper. Chef John Daly serves it on a toasted Leidenheimer roll with shaved romaine hearts, beefsteak tomatoes, pineapple-bacon jam, and a drizzle of sambal-ranch aioli. 1116 Love St., Jupiter; luckyshuckjupiter.com; 561.532.3331

It would be challenging to find a more balanced flavor profile than the Norwegian salmon club ($22) at Farmer’s Table in North Palm Beach. “The key to it being great is the way it’s built,” says Executive Chef Francis “Fran” Casciato, who prepares the club with two pieces of bread instead of three and extends toppings like nitratefree bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion from end to end. He also cuts the salmon fillet heavy on the bias “so it cooks properly and won’t be ungainly to eat.” Casciato uses fresh Thai basil from the on-site garden to make an herb oil he brushes on the fish. 951 U.S. Hwy. 1, North Palm Beach; dinefarmerstable.com; 561.691.3430 ❖

Barbecue BLISS

THE ULTIMATE TEXAS SMOKE SHOW IN PALM BEACH GARDENS

There’s ice-cold beer, the sides are elevated and rich, and when the meat is gone, it’s gone for the day. (Try again tomorrow before it sells out.) In short, NEVS Barbecue in Palm Beach Gardens already has the markings of a successful BBQ establishment—which isn’t surprising considering the culinary background of owner and chef Tommy Nevill.

The Orlando native’s food journey began at home. “I cooked with my dad on a regular basis, preparing dinners every night,” he says. “From there, I was in the Disney Culinary Program before transferring to Florida State and graduating from the Dedman School of Hospitality in 2005.” Shortly after, he moved to Dallas

and joined Consolidated Restaurant Operations, which operates III Forks among other franchises. As a proprietor, Nevill opened III Forks properties on behalf of CRO in cities including Dubai, Chicago, Los Angeles, Hallandale Beach, and Boca Raton. He eventually made Palm Beach Gardens his home base nine years ago.

While still living in Texas, he had also launched a barbecue catering business. “I fell in love with Texas barbecue and

orFlFlavor

traveled all over the state visiting barbecue restaurants, meeting owners, and learning about the business,” he says. And in 2021, he decided to leave his III Forks job and open his own barbecue joint locally. “My dream has always been to do this,” he says. With one baby at home and another on the way, Nevill and his wife, Kelsey (who handles marketing for the restaurant), got to work on NEVS Barbecue. Late last November, it opened in the Promenade Shopping Plaza.

A key component of NEVS’ menu is the wood-fire rotisserie smoker, which is capable of handling almost 1,200 pounds of produce at one time. Nevill prefers to use post oak wood. “It’s more Texas-style in its flavor profile for our brisket,” he says. Aside from delicious brisket, Neville serves up pulled pork, cracked black pepper sausage, brisket burnt ends, and pulled chicken daily until sold out. On weekends, special orders for

baby back ribs are available, and on holidays, he offers smoked turkey and ham. For off-site catering events, he has a 16-foot trailer outfitted with an old propane tank.

“One thing in the barbecue world that I feel many places lack is the chef-inspired aspect of the side dishes,” he says. “We’re a full scratch kitchen, so everything we do is in-house.” Sauces, dressings, coleslaw, jalapeño corn bread, pickles, desserts… Everything comes out hot and fresh. “It’s an elevated finedining aspect in a quick-service restaurant,” says Nevill.

To that end, the dessert menu goes above and beyond your average BBQ joint offerings with sweet and tasty items like a mixed berry cobbler pie with blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries and fudge made with Ghirardelli chocolate.

For Nevill, perhaps the best part about owning his new restaurant is the opportunity it gives him to share what he loves.

“When I was in Texas, I was so enamored by these barbecue guys,” he says. “They were so open, giving tours of their kitchens, showing off the smokers, and discussing the woods they use. That’s what I love so much—the community and fellowship bringing people together.” nevsbarbecue.com ❖

Dessert DIVA

5 questions with Executive Pastry Chef Denise Elrod of Blackbird Modern Asian

When a restaurant gives desserts a chance to shine, amazingness happens. This is certainly the philosophy at Blackbird Modern Asian in Jupiter, where Executive Pastry Chef Denise Elrod concocts bold creations that are equally delicious and artistic. Elrod previously worked for Norman Love Confections in Fort Myers, served as assistant pastry chef at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and owned her own artisan chocolate company. At Blackbird, she proves that desserts are not an afterthought but an essential part of the dining experience. blackbirdmodernasian.com

What sparked your passion for pastry?

I come from a family of bakers. When my mom was in high school, she worked at my great-uncle’s bakery in Wyoming, and she passed that passion on to me. There’s a picture of us rolling out cookie dough in our kitchen when I was 2 years old. I attended a vocational high school where a teacher recognized my potential, and at 16 I entered a commercial baking and pastry arts competition in Nevada. I won the gold, went on to compete in the national championship, and nabbed seventh place. I remember thinking, I’m pretty good at this—I could do it as a career!

What’s the most impressive dessert you’ve eaten?

Marché Bacchus is a French restaurant off the Las Vegas strip that makes heavenly salted caramel bread pudding. It’s so good, they can never take it off the menu because people like me would lose it. The bread is saturated in custard, then cooked in a bain-marie (water bath) until it’s soft and the outsides are crispy. It’s served a la mode with a warm vanilla bean crème anglaise.

Where do you source your chocolate?

Chocolate-making can be a long and wild process, so I buy mine. I prefer Cacao Barry and Valrhona dark chocolate because they have nice universal flavors that aren’t too bitter or sweet. Knowing where a manufacturer sources its cocoa beans from is important because that can greatly impact a dessert’s piquancy.

How does the current pastry menu at Blackbird complement the Far East–inspired menu?

Executive Chef Tim Nickey and I wanted desserts that exuded Asian panache. The key lime incorporates yuzu—a popular citrus in China,

Japan, and Korea—as well as cinnamon that is endemic to Asia. Our crème brûlée is made with Thai iced tea, which was something I hadn’t tried until Tim introduced me to it. It was the hardest item on the menu for me to perfect. I like adding new desserts quarterly and creating one-of-a-kind selections for the holidays and special occasions.

How do you feel as your desserts are exiting the kitchen?

Excited about our guests’ reactions! The owners wanted a dramatic entrance, so each dessert is presented in a novel way. When the chocolate bomb is delivered to the table, a server pours hot dark chocolate over a large chocolate orb that melts down to reveal ice cream concealed beneath. If I’m doing the pouring, before I start I always pause in case guests want to record a video. The yuzu key lime is another pièce de résistance. It’s nested inside a glass orb with dry ice that billows out like smoke when the top is removed. Guests see it from across the room and want one. ❖

The Lentine family is no stranger to the Stuart area, having owned vacation homes locally since the 1950s. When Lou Lentine Sr. and his family relocated here permanently in 1989, he and his former wife launched the Taco Shack with love and passion for great crafted tacos. The legacy continued when Lou Lentine Jr. moved here from Tennessee with his family in 2020, purchasing the business from his father.

“We had a successful formula,” Lou Jr. says. “We knew by adding better processes and investing capital to triple the size, we could create something special.”

Over the course of the last year, Taco Shack has expanded its Stuart location, added a full bar as well as opened a second location in Abacoa in Jupiter, Florida. Both locations focus on fresh (never frozen) ingredients, innovative recipes and an amazing team of employees who strive to serve the local community. “We are a family-run business that wants to provide something special to the local community,” Lou Jr. says. “We believe that a restaurant is as good as its employees, and we work hard to take care of ours—many of whom have worked for us for 10 years.”

Taco Shack offers great gourmet tacos,

the best margaritas, amazing service, an unbelievable value, and a great time. “We strive to provide fast, fresh food without breaking the bank,” Lou Jr. says.

The restaurant’s goal is to provide great-tasting food from a unique menu with creativity and passion. “People come back because we always have something new for them to try,” Lou Jr. says. “Our wahoo and octopus tacos are receiving an incredible reaction from our guests, not to mention our new margarita menu. We are addicted to our tacos and love that so many others are as well.”
