ecently, some friends and I reflected over lunch about the time and energy people in our community give to good causes. During our discussion, it dawned on me that all the names mentioned were benefactors of different ages and from all walks of life, from individuals to organizations small and large.

It doesn’t surprise me that teenagers are doing remarkable things, nor that the people who made their fortunes elsewhere and moved here to enjoy the good life are making generous contributions. Likewise, it’s not news to hear about the amount of work and financial contributions from year-round residents to support the community’s needs. And because people of modest means have long given a much greater share of their income and assets to charity than the truly wealthy, it wasn’t a shock when these individuals were mentioned.

What really grabbed me was what a unifying force charity, philanthropy or simply good works can be in a community. CEOs hammer nails next to a grocery store shelf-stocker while walls go up on a Habitat for Humanity house. Kids, a school teacher, a professional athlete, a middle manager who was recently downsized and a woman who just sold her software company for big bucks sit in the same pew at church and drop what they can into a special offering collection plate for a fellow parishioner dealing with a life crisis.

Do all of us realize what a difference—individually and collectively—we are making in Palm Beach? I have been here a long time, and although I travel frequently and am familiar with other wonderful communities, it occurred to me that I, like so many others, may sometimes take for granted the community spirit, good will and generosity of our neighbors.

I could throw some statistics at you, but that’s really not the point.

You’re already doing great things. The contributions are evident. So let’s hammer nails, mentor children, help someone increase skills in this tough job market, rally friends to help with a good cause or take on the less-glamorous jobs at church or a local not-for-profit.

We’re all in this together. As I sat with those friends having lunch, I thought, overall, we’ve done a darn good job so far. Let’s stay the course.

v EDITOR’S LETTER

All in Good Taste uick: What is the one thing that brings people, regardless of ethnicity or socioeconomic background, together socially?

If you said “food,” you are spot on. There is not a single culture that does not, on some level, congregate around a meal. Even tribal desert dwellers break (sandbaked) bread to celebrate something as simple as day’s end.

In Palm Beach, we have, well, more sophisticated palates—and the array of restaurants, bistros, markets and even street-food establishments reflects it. In our annual food-themed issue, we have visited, and revisited, many of the places that make Palm Beach such a Mecca of gastronomy and have whipped up a menu of craveworthy delights.

The centerpiece of the issue is “Top Ten Tables,” a roundup of Palm Beach’s most extraordinary dining experiences, according to the educated, if subjective, judgment of our restaurant critic, Mark Spivak. A dedicated foodie who’s sampled the goods at eateries across the globe, Mark is always on the lookout for a culinary treasure. In the ever-changing tableau of restaurants-of-the-moment, picking a handful is a challenge, but he has risen to the occasion. See his choices on page 54.

When it comes to dining establishments, perhaps none is as legendary as Le Cirque. The New York icon and its colorful ringmaster, Sirio Maccioni, were fêted during the Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival with a tribute dinner at The Breakers. The Circle was transformed into a southern version of the Cirque dining room, and the food was prepared by top chefs who once worked under Sirio—including Daniel Boulud and Jacques Torres. Needless to say, it was the epicurean event of the year. Bask in the afterglow with us by turning to “Being Sirio” (page 82).

Always striving to bring you exclusives keeps us relevant and fresh. This month’s exclusive is a stunner: We take you inside the 250-acre Wellington home and riding facility of the Jacobs family. That’s Jacobs as in Delaware North and the Boston Bruins, the family that pretty much dominates the airport and sports-venue hospitality industry and whose reach extends to national parks, gaming and more. They’re very private and as nice as can be, which makes this story even more of a treat. Read all about these amazing “Stewards of the Land” on page 60.

forward Questions

Q 3 v Leann rimes

Country star LeAnn Rimes first perked up America’s ears at 8 years old, when she was crowned a singing champion on an episode of Star Search in the early ’90s.

As a teenager, she became the youngest-ever artist to win a Grammy, and now, at age 30, she has 11 albums under her belt. Her hit songs include 1997’s “How Do I Live,” which is the second-longest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and 2000’s “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” which went No. 1 in 11 countries. Her newest album, Spitfire, out this month, is described as her most honest work, featuring songs about personal struggles. She will perform April 7 at the Sunrise Theatre for the Performing Arts in Fort Pierce. —Jennifer Pfaff n Do you have a favorite song you like to sing?

I sing along to the radio a lot. When I was little, my mom used to make fun of me because I used to sing all the time. Her big line is, “You used to sit on the toilet and sing.” So I think I did not grow out of that as I got older. I probably still do that and I don’t even realize it. n What are some of your other interests?

I’ve gotten into photography recently. I have a natural eye for it. My husband is a great photographer. He just got me a new camera, and I’m still learning how to use it. I’m one of those people who doesn’t read the owner’s manual. n What did you learn growing up in the spotlight?

You’ll never, ever please everyone. Ever. You’re wasting your time if you try. Trying to live the best life I can and being true to myself is probably the biggest lesson I’ve been learning recently. That’s a lesson I will constantly relearn.

Queen of Clubs Golf was never more important to Stacy Lewis than when it was taken away. Sidelined for almost a year in college following surgery for scoliosis, Lewis was more focused than ever when she returned, winning the NCAA championship two years later. Since going pro, the Palm Beach Gardens resident has had a nonstop schedule, a commitment rewarded with the 2012 LPGA Player of the Year title and letters from inspired scoliosis sufferers. These days, the only things getting in her way are the added expectations.

first class v Mesmerized by Malaysia Kuala Lumpur, the center of Asia’s cultural melting pot, is an explosion of exoticism.

By Paul Rubio © zadiraka vladislav—Fotolia.com

Often overlooked on the Southeast Asia tourist trail, Malaysia shines as the continent’s cultural kaleidoscope, where disparate flavors, trends and customs create a single nation. Though the country is divided ethnically and politically among its diverse Malay, Chinese and Indian populations, for the average visitor, Malaysia is a cultural wonderland, flaunting a global showcase of opulence, bizarre foods, serene landscapes and manmade marvels.

Most recognize the capital, Kuala Lumpur, called “KL” by the locals, from the 1999 film Entrapment with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones. The world’s tallest building then, the Petronas Twin Towers (petronastwintowers.com.my),

soaring 1,500 feet towards the heavens, formed the backdrop for the characters’ final heist. Even though the dual structure lost its title as the planet’s tallest edifice in 2004 to a Taiwanese skyscraper, it’s still one of Kuala Lumpur’s most jaw-dropping attractions and just the starting point of a city filled with the unexpected.

An entire village dedicated to business and leisure envelops the Petronas towers. Kuala Lumpur City Centre, or KLCC (klcc.com.my), encompasses parks, recreation centers and the mother of all shopping havens. Every upscale store imaginable spreads over three connecting megamalls with an

entire floor of Asian restaurants and two floors of food courts. Visitors quickly realize shopping and eating are Malaysia’s two national pastimes. The city’s premiere hotel, the Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur (mandarinoriental.com/kualalumpur), is in the center of the KLCC neighborhood.

The property offers instant immersion into the finest ingredients of the KL melting pot. The guest rooms and suites exude the brand’s signature sophisticated style with elegant wood furnishings accessorized by tasteful gold and copper drapes, pillows and linens. The view-heavy outdoor pool area satisfies the craving for sun-drenched afternoons filled with cool cocktails and relaxation. The hotel’s 10 food and beverage outlets reflect the country’s diversity with venues that have become true social and eating institutions. For example, Lai Po Heen, the hotel’s contemporary Cantonese restaurant, teems with sexy, multinational businessmen and fabulous lunch ladies sampling traditional Chinese specialties like bird’s nest soup and more regional items such as durian pancakes. Downstairs the party rages nightly at the hotel’s trendy Arabian-style lounge, The Casbah.

The more understated Mandarin Oriental Club Lounge caters to business and leisure travelers. It offers space for work or relaxation and multiple opportunities to delight in local and regional dishes at breakfast, afternoon tea or cocktail hour. It may not have the variety of the famed hawker stalls of Jalan Alor, KL’s superlative street-food market, but you may well find your plate filled with dishes like pineapple fritters, curry fish head and banana-leaf rice.

One could endlessly bask in the Mandarin Oriental’s luxury, but it’s worth spending days exploring the wider environs. With postcard-perfect vistas, Meredeka Square faces the lavish Sultan Abdul Samad Building, also known as the Big Ben of KL for its grand clock tower. The highly manicured Lake Gardens area is home to the National Butterfly Park (once the largest in the world); Deer, Orchid, Hibiscus and Bird parks; and National Planetarium.

Nature lovers will also want to head to Firefly Park Resort (fireflypark.com) in Kuala Selangor, which offers night trips down the Selangor River to watch masses of fireflies light up the entire sky. Think of it as aurora borealis meets entomology rather than the confluence of mismatched ideas—insects with luxury travel. u

diversions v day trip closet case A stylish new partnership between St. Regis Bal Harbour and Neiman Marcus is a fashionist’s dream.

Clockwise from top: The balcony of the Presidential Suite; the glittering lobby, with antiqued mirror vestibules; the St. Regis Bar, where the new, and authentic, sushi experience awaits; the ultraluxe pool cabanas.

The Neiman Marcus Closet (above and right) includes edited pieces chosen according to the guest’s style preferences and posited in her suite (below).

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Heading to Bal Harbour for the day (or the weekend) usually involves a shopping trip or two. There are other indulgences to be had in the “Square Mile of Style,” but a peek at the luxe Bal Harbour Shops is pretty high on the priority list.

These days, the St. Regis Bal Harbour, which went up across the street from the Shops a little more than a year ago, vies for our attention. We want to shop, yes, but what about those amazing oceanfront day villas that include everything from WiFi to an Evian spritz? Or the nightly Champagne sabering ritual at The Bar? Or the Remède Spa’s truly indulgent 24-karat (as in gold) facial?

The resort’s powers-that-be must have felt our predicament, because they now offer a clever little program called the Neiman Marcus Closet at the St. Regis Bal Harbour. It’s as easy as a Pucci caftan: Before checking in, fill out a questionnaire about your style preferences and bodytype details, and voilà—an edited selection of merchandise will be waiting for you in your guest-room closet. Buy what you want; the St. Regis butler will return the rest.

There are some pluses to this. First, everything is pre-arranged so you don’t have to go through the personal-shopping exercise, which can feel a bit like retail boot camp. Second, you can check into your suite at 6 p.m. and instantly have something new—accessories and all—to wear to dinner. And there is something to be said about forgoing the rigors of browsing, not to mention carrying piles of shopping bags.

But the most important benefit is the extra time you’ll have to enjoy resort amenities like the new sushi menu at The Bar, which by itself is worth a trip down. It’s a totally authentic experience down to the wasabi paste, which is made tableside by rubbing the fresh root on a sharkskin grate—and the ideal scene for showing off new covetables.

Tread lighter The 2013 Range Rover adds luxury and sheds 700 pounds to create the finest 4x4 by far.

BY HOWARD WALKER

No longer can the abbreviation “SUV” be associated with that icon of British style and elegance, the Range Rover. Sport utility vehicle? You obviously haven’t laid eyes on the all-new version.

There’s nothing even remotely utilitarian about this fourthgeneration Range Rover—which is why I’m officially changing its moniker from “SUV” to “SLV,” as in “Super Luxury Vehicle.”

To prove my point, enjoy a moment of comfort and hedonistic relaxation in the reconfigured, redesigned rear cabin of the 2013 Range Rover Autobiography.

Getting in and out is so much easier now thanks to bigger, barngate-wide door openings, along with an “Access” ride height mode for the standard air suspension that lowers the car by two inches.

You can leave the step ladders in the garage.

Lengthening the car’s wheelbase also has added 4.7 inches of stretch-out legroom in the back, transforming it into the promnight Town Car of SUVs. Then there are the seats. Opt for the Executive Class package and you get individual pews the size of Barcaloungers. At the touch of a button, they can recline, give you a back massage only a Swed48

ish Helga can perform, heat you up or cool you down. Once ensconced, you’ll never want to leave.

And why would you when 8-inch high-res video screens in the back play your favorite movies? When cranked up, the 29 speakers in the optional 1,700-watt Meridian Signature Reference audio system can make your ears bleed. Enya has never sounded so mystical.

If you can pry yourself out of the back and slide behind the wheel, the driving experience will change the way you think about full-size 4x4s. Conjure up an image of a Rolls-Royce on stilts—this is it. Maybe that’s why they share those “RR” initials.

The biggest change here is weight. For this all-new model, the Land Rover folks made the bold decision to switch from steel to aluminum for the entire body structure. Compared to the previous model, this new Range Rover is a whopping 700 pounds lighter. That’s huge. It’s like extracting three Warren Sapps from the back seat.

Less weight means zippier acceleration, nimbler handling and better fuel economy, all of which this new Range Rover achieves with aplomb. Compared to the previous model, this one feels like there’s Red Bull in the fuel tank.

{

Follow Howard Walker’s The Wheel World blog on palmbeachillustrated.com

That’s certainly the case when driving this Autobiography model, with its standard 510-horsepower, supercharged V-8 under the hood, coupled with a rapid-shifting 8-speed automatic.

With less metal to move, this four-wheeldrive rocket ship can streak from standstill to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. That’s crazy fast. And with a stump-pulling 461 poundfeet of muscley torque at your disposal, mid-range thrust for fast, safe passing is simply breathtaking.

It’s not just straight-line performance that makes this new Rover a joy to drive.

It’s equipped, for the first time, with Land Rover’s Dynamic Response active lean control system. Using the car’s air suspension and some computer wizardry, it can reduce the amount of body roll on corners and smooth out the ride.

And while I could fill an entire issue of Palm Beach Illustrated with a description of the Range Rover’s highly advanced 4x4 technology, believe me when I say it can go anywhere. I just spent three days in Utah on the Hog Canyon Trail near Kanab, taking it places no luxury vehicle should venture.

So what is the cost of perfection? New Range Rover pricing starts at $83,545 for the entry model, climbing to $130,995 for the bestof-the-best supercharged Autobiography.

“Best-of-the-best” really does sum up this remarkable, go-anywhere machine. It is, to my mind, the finest, most capable luxury vehicle in the world. The fact that it can climb mountains is simply a bonus. A Super Luxury Vehicle indeed. u

Several years after opening, Buccan remains one of the most intriguing and unusual restaurants around. The credit goes to Clay Conley, a chef with culinary interests as far-flung as South America, the Caribbean and Asia.

Conley’s constantly changing menu places emphasis on what he describes as “small plates with big flavors.” Dishes are divided into categories such as Raw, Green, Crispy, Wood-Fired, and Flour and Water. The kitchen is open, and the light, airy space is filled with copper-topped tables packed close together, creating an atmosphere of boisterousness and shared conversation. You enter Buccan through the bar and may be tempted to stay there for the exceptional happy hour Monday through Friday. No matter where you sit, you feel a palpable buzz to accompany the creative food.

CAY DA | BOCA RATON Ask local chefs where they eat on their night off, and you’ll likely hear two words: Cay Da. Tucked away in a strip mall, this small, familyoperated Vietnamese eatery has been Boca’s best-kept secret since 2002.

While the decor is unimpressive (it resembles a school cafeteria dressed up for dance night), the food is distinctive and flavorful.

Begin with the cold special shrimp rolls, rice paper packed with limemarinated shrimp, cilantro, onions and crushed peanuts (the favorite dish of Buccan’s Conley). The crispy eggplant may be off the menu, but the chefs will likely make it for you if you ask; it’s flash-fried, featherlight and juicy, topped with rice noodles. Among the entrees, the fluffy steamed flounder is flavored with fish sauce and garlic and garnished with broccoli, snow peas and carrots. Crispy noodles are pan-fried and served with an assortment of vegetables and your choice of shrimp, calamari or chicken.

The husband-and-wife team running this place couldn’t be nicer, and the cuisine is healthy and delicious.

Recommend 50 Ocean to someone, and you’ll inevitably find yourself saying, “Yes, but … ” Yes, the restaurant is perched on top of Boston’s On The Beach, the quintessential waterfront joint in Delray, but this is no dive bar. It’s an elegant retreat with a ceiling of pecky cypress, a backlit bar inlaid with quartz and agate, and some remarkably good food.

Don’t miss the crispy whole belly clams—tender and briny, lightly breaded and fluffy. The kitchen is adept at breathing new life into culinary clichés, such as fresh and juicy coconut shrimp and a flavorful, perfectly cooked surf and turf. Service is friendly and enthusiastic, chatty without being intrusive. The lounge area is dimly lit and sexy, festooned with photographs of Hemingway that recall Key West’s glory days. Ask for a table near the window, and enjoy the stunning waterfront views that remind us why we’re here.

COOLINARY CAFE | PALM BEACH GARDENS There’s something contagious at the Coolinary Café: Everyone is having fun. The customers are enjoying themselves, as they’re supposed to, but the servers and kitchen crew also are having a blast. The source of most of the enjoyment is Tim Lipman, the owner and chef who runs the open kitchen in the small dining room.

Lipman is a former head chef at Leftovers Café, part of the Little Moirs Food Shack empire. His offerings include dishes such as a pan-roasted wild mushroom salad, crispy fried Florida rock shrimp, flatbread topped with pieces of spicy soppressata and a braised, meltingly tender Berkshire pork shoulder. To wash it all down, there’s a respectable selection of craft beers and a short but well-chosen wine list.

Coolinary Café is an example of how well a concept can be executed when approached in the right spirit, without attitude and with a desire to please. No reservations are taken and the place fills up quickly, but it’s worth the wait.

KELLY COULSON

Asian fusion restaurants have been sweeping across America in recent years, but they’re still in short supply in South Florida. Kapow! is changing that, in large part because of the innovative menu devised by Roy Villacrusis, the consulting chef who helped launch the restaurant several years ago.

Among the delightful selection of small plates, don’t miss the wok-charred edamame, stuffed shishito peppers, orange soy glazed ribs, and the beet and peach tea cured salmon. There’s also a varied selection of noodles as well as a section of steamed buns and larger entrees, such as red curry shrimp or Creekstone Farms skirt steak.

The cocktail list is just as textured as the menu: a range of reasonably priced, handcrafted cocktails using seasonal herbs, natural sodas and fresh juices. You can stop into Kapow! for a drink, a snack or a full meal. Whenever you come, it’s bound to be fun.

In an area where humidity clogs our sinuses and salt air eats up our cars, it’s surprising we had to wait so long for a first-rate seafood house. Thierry Beaud, Reid Boren and Julien Gremaud, partners in West Palm’s Pistache brasserie, finally came to our rescue.

PB Catch is elegant and understated, with a formal dining room flanked by an elaborate raw bar. The restaurant prides itself on promoting local fishing and sustainable seafood programs, but there are options for die-hard meat lovers. The wine list includes about 150 carefully curated choices, heavy on the classics of Bordeaux and Burgundy but with a good representation from California as well. Unless you go deep-sea fishing or know someone who does, an evening here is your best bet.

Chef Scott Varricchio has a hefty resume: a pastry apprenticeship at Manhattan’s legendary La Côte Basque, followed by stints at Picasso in Las Vegas and New York’s Ouest and ‘Cesca. His restaurant is perched on the edge of the ocean in Vero, and the subtle harmony of the food matches the splendid water views.

Varricchio’s flavors are simple and vibrant, and his everchanging menu is augmented by a list of daily specials. The pasta section is more than a nod to his Italian heritage.

Pappardelle with rock shrimp are napped in a slightly spicy sauce infused with the tang of a seafood reduction, and al dente linguine is offset with baby spinach, scampi butter and tasty heirloom tomatoes. Veal flank steak is a thing of beauty—tender and flavorful, marked by the grill and garnished with sautéed cannellini beans. Add a short but well-focused wine list and a bartender who enjoys his work, and you have a winning combination.

MAX’S HARVEST | DELRAY BEACH

Everyone suddenly seems to be offering a farm-to-fork experience, but few places are doing it better than Max’s Harvest.

Dennis Max, the restaurateur who introduced South Florida to California cuisine in the 1980s, is still ahead of everyone else.

The ingredients here are carefully sourced and screamingly fresh, and they convey an intensity of flavor that makes one stop and pause. The kitchen is in the competent hands of Chris Miracolo, and his menu changes weekly depending on the whims of the market. Decor is sleek and modern; the snug room holds perhaps 40 diners, with room for another 20 on the terrace and an intimate private room in the rear. The space can be noisy when full but fits in perfectly with the trendy Pineapple Grove section of Delray Beach.

Vagabondi | WEST PALM BEACH This tiny, 34-seat restaurant is the creation of Chef Carlo Sernaglia and dining room manager Fernando Diaz.

Tastefully decorated, with a vibe that blends the Mediterranean and the romantic, it could easily be located in San Francisco or lower Manhattan rather than South Florida.

Sernaglia works in a space smaller than most home kitchens, with no freezer or walk-in cooler. The state of the market reflects his deliveries, which in turn dictate his daily menu. A dish such as plump, feather-light ravioli stuffed with goat ricotta and spinach is the pasta of your dreams. If the fisherman’s seafood stew is offered on the night of your visit, don’t pass it up; pieces of fresh fish are combined with shrimp, clams, mussels and calamari in an intense and zesty tomato broth based on a savory, reduced seafood stock.

Reservations are taken at two-hour intervals, and you’ll be lucky to get one.

HMF stands for Henry Morrison Flagler, the man who built The Breakers and opened up South Florida for tourism. The dining establishment occupies the space that formerly housed L’Escalier and the Tapestry Bar and was the most anticipated opening of 2012. HMF exceeds even those high expectations.

The space is sleek and glamorous, keeping with its mission to revive the glory days of the Palm Beach cocktail culture. The menu consists of five-dozen inventive small plates that change frequently. The culinary wingspan ranges from Asia to South America to the Deep South, but each dish is executed faithfully and with passion.

The cocktails alone are worth a visit. Creative concoctions include Chanel #6, a favorite with the ladies, and The Redhead, a sort of nouveau cosmo.

Best of all, HMF puts the customer in control of the experience. You may pop in for an espresso or spend several hours dining, but either way you’ll have an unforgettable evening.

Some of the Olmsted elements incorporated here include the winding driveway, which offers intermittent glimpses of the house in the distance; natural arbors of native tree species like slash pines and live oaks; ponds with fountains and water fowl; picturesque bridges over water; expansive meadows (the Jacobs’ interpretation is a derby course near the front gate); and flowering trees, such as tabebuia and bottlebrush. The effect is one of wood pasture and sprawling parkland, similar to the centuries-old landscapes of gracious European estates.

FOR FAMILY’S SAKE Peggy and Jerry Jacobs, with dogs (from left to right) BB, Peaches and Finya, began acquiring Deeridge in 1979 and moved into the property in 1988. It was, and is, an idyllic Southern refuge for all the family members who ride and show horses.

A SENSE OF PLACE—AND PEACE The circular motor court in the front of the house is a replica of a similar arrival area in the East Aurora home. Mute and trumpeter swans (right) glide along a tranquil pond. Some of the younger swans were actually born on the grounds and nest on an island near the northern boundary. “They give that peaceful look to the property,” Peggy says. “I just love to sit on a bench and watch them.”

A FOCUS ON ART The portrait of Jerry Jacobs jumping, hanging above the fireplace in the living room, was painted by famed artist LeRoy Neiman, who specialized in action sports.

The antique decorative garland around the painting is the work of English sculptor and wood artist Grinling Gibbons.

In 1979, Wellington was a rural, dirt-road community in the western hinterlands of Palm Beach County. There was very little happening in the burgeoning town, but if you were a horse lover, you saw the beauty in it.

“The [Palm Beach] Polo [and Country] Club was just being built, there were virtually no homes and there were dirt roads all the way to the turnpike,” says Jeremy “Jerry” Jacobs, chairman of hospitality giant Delaware North Companies and owner of the Boston Bruins hockey team, who visited Wellington that year for the first time. “You could ride anywhere. It was wonderful.”

At the time, Jerry and five of his six children were showing horses and had come for a small show at the fairgrounds. He and his wife, Peggy, didn’t expect to put down roots, but the dusty town with woodlands as far as the eye could see worked its magic on them. Over the next few years, they acquired options on 800 acres, some of which they exercised and some of which they sold, even

tually ending up with 250 acres that became Deeridge Farms, the family’s winter home and riding facility.

As idyllic as Wellington was, however, it lacked a visionary plan for preservation. To the Jacobses’ dismay, roads were eventually developed. Then a shopping center went up. Then offices. “There were no restrictions or controls,” Jerry says.

Not one to sit idly by, he rounded up other like-minded people, and together they established a 9,000-acre protected area called the Wellington Equestrian Preserve. That was about 13 years ago; to this day, the Jacobses remain outspoken advocates for the preservation of Wellington’s green spaces and horse environment, fiercely challenging potential development. “The temptation to institutionalize this unique area is there for people who see profit in it,” Jerry says. “The value exists in that it continues to be rural and horse-oriented. We are very aggressively pursuing to maintain that quality of life.” palmbeachillustrated.com | APRIL 2013 63

AN EYE FOR BEAUTY Photography is Peggy’s passion; she’s been at it since 1975.

“I don’t go anywhere without a camera in my hand,” she says. She aims to capture organic portraits with a caught-in-the-moment quality. The photo hanging in the Lily Pond Porch is of her grandson Will fishing in East Aurora. Her portraits and landscapes are displayed throughout the house.

For the Jacobses, the preservation mindset is a reality on a macro and micro level. The family business, founded in 1915 by Jerry’s father, Louis, and two uncles, began as a popcorn and peanuts vending venture and grew into a global hospitality behemoth with $2 billion in annual revenue and operations in food service, sports venue management, gaming and entertainment, national park facility management, and airport restaurant and retail services. Even as Delaware North grew, Jerry—and now his three sons as well—did not forsake the values that were important to him and his family: environmental responsibility, conservation stewardship and a strong code of ethics.

GreenPath, one of the more visible Delaware North initiatives, encompasses everything from carbon-credit buyback to the use of sustainably grown food to custom-designed wastewater treatment plants.

“When you’re a family-owned company, you put yourself on the line, so to speak,” Jerry says. “There’s a saying about customers hav

ing the phone number of the owner. You have to do the right thing.”

That same mentality filters down to their personal properties.

In their historic home in East Aurora, near Buffalo (also named Deeridge Farms), the Jacobses undertook a massive project: preserving the grounds designed in 1927 by legendary American landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. “We reestablished the greenhouse, put in a tree nursery and rehabilitated a lot of the vegetation,” says Peggy, who led the endeavor. “I went through with an arborist and identified all the trees and tagged them. It was a labor of love.”

The effort was so comprehensive that it won the National Association for Olmsted Parks’ Olmsted Legacy Award in 2012. The board, Peggy says, “hadn’t seen anything preserved on that level.”

The same attention went into Deeridge in Wellington. The property was initially grapefruit and orange groves with large canals used to pump water to the trees. “We started by building the stable and palmbeachillustrated.com | APRIL 2013 67

THE HEART OF THE HOUSE The poolhouse was built before the main house, in 1985. The family would spend days here and retire to two condos in the evening. Today, the space remains “the hub of life,” according to Peggy. “The kids come through after showing (horses), the little ones swim and play tennis, and everyone brings friends.” A buffet lunch is served here every day, so family members can help themselves anytime. This is also where everyone gathers to watch the Bruins games.

The Jacobs men—(left to right) Charlie, Louie, Jerry and Jerry Jr.—pose with the Stanley Cup, which the Boston Bruins won in 2011. It was the first time the team brought home the cup since the Jacobses bought it in 1975.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE HORSE “Riding has been close to me and my family,” Jerry says. “It has always connected us.” Though he hasn’t competed in 20 years, riding was a lifelong sport for Jerry. Now, 13 members of the family show competitively so the Jacobses have devoted acres to riding facilities, including two barns that accommodate 25 horses, paddocks, bridle paths (opposite page) and a jumping course. To make practice as valuable as possible, they have introduced regulation footing—the same used in horse shows—in the course, where the Jacobs children and grandchildren (Melissa, a Georgetown University student who shows in the young amateur division, is pictured at left) ride daily.

GO, BRUINS! The family room (above) is where small groups of friends and family gather to watch the Bruins games.

The billiards table in the foreground is circa 1920s. In Jerry’s office (right), Bruins memorabilia abounds.

Some of his favorite objects include—naturally—the Owner’s Cup from the 2011 Stanley Cup win and a bobblehead of himself, which a friend had made as a joke.

kept building 20 acres at a time,” Peggy says. “Eventually we built the pool house and then the main house.”

They also developed the parkland-like grounds in the Olmsted manner. Meandering driveways, sprawling lawns, woodlands, bridges and elaborate waterways, all faithful to the Olmsted signature, share space with riding facilities on the property.

The “farm” is a great gathering place for their six children, 18 grandchildren and one great-grandchild, many of whom ride and show horses. During the holidays and school breaks, in particular, the place is buzzing with activity. It’s how they like it.

“If we were somewhere else, we’d probably never see them,” jokes Peggy. “So we gave them what they like: sunshine and horses.”

And several big screens on which to watch the Bruins games when they can’t be in Boston. “They come and go as they please,” says Jerry, who is still over the moon about the team’s Stanley Cup win in 2011, “but the Bruins is a mandate. Everyone shows up for that.” u

“

The value of this unique area exists in that it continues to be rural and horseoriented.

“

Sirio Maccioni knows how to make an impression.

It’s the night of his Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival tribute dinner, and he’s arrived at The Breakers in style—his hot pink satin pocket square matching the Magnolia Room’s sleek decor.

This is the same man who has captivated elite diners for almost 50 years. As the ringmaster of Le Cirque, one of Manhattan’s most celebrated restaurants, he’s entertained luminaries such as Pope John Paul II, Frank Sinatra, Andy Warhol and Martha Stewart. The Italian restaurateur is also credited for introducing the United States to classics such as pasta primavera and crème brûlée.

“You have to have great food,” Maccioni says of running a successful restaurant.

“But it’s not only the food that makes people come back.”

Maccioni opened Le Cirque in 1974, and it quickly became a mecca for celebrities and food enthusiasts alike. Having survived nearly four decades of industry change, Le Cirque remains an institution, an achievement Maccioni attributes to its persistent high quality. “You have to be good one day after another, one year after another,” he says.

Maccioni has always demanded organization, skill and the highest level of execution at Le Cirque, and many eminent chefs have launched their careers in the restaurant’s fast-paced kitchen.

Notable alumni include Sylvain Portay, Alain Sailhac and Geoffrey Zakarian.

On December 8, 2012, several Le Cirque stars gathered at The Breakers to help host “An Evening with Le Cirque: A Tribute to Sirio.” Chefs Daniel Boulud, Marc Murphy and Jacques Torres—Le Cirque alumni—along with The Breakers Executive Chef of Banquets Jeff Simms, Master Sommelier Virginia Philip and current Le Cirque Chef Olivier Reginensi prepared a feast in Maccioni’s honor.

Guests dined in The Circle, bathed in warm candlelight, while listening to accolades from Maccioni’s colleagues and admirers. Le Cirque’s signature decor was mimicked in every aspect, from logoed napkins and sugar packets to Rhynchovanda blood orange orchid arrangements.

The dinner began with Reginensi’s preparation of Lobster Salad Le Cirque, a dish introduced in 1978.

84

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

The chefs prepared courses such as Emmentaler fondue (top left) and crisp paupiettes of black bass in Barolo sauce (above).

Reginensi became a chef de partie at Le Cirque in 1993 and went on to work at several acclaimed restaurants before returning to Le Cirque in January 2012. He remembers when the restaurant became so renowned it was praised in France.

“When we were talking about the United States, we were talking about Le Cirque,” he recalls. “There was one place: Le Cirque, Le Cirque, Le Cirque.”

Boulud presented the second course, a rendition of Le Cirque’s iconic crisp paupiettes of black bass in Barolo sauce, which Boulud introduced in 1986.

With four moving parts, the dish was perhaps the most complex of the evening.

Boulud served as executive chef at Le Cirque for six years (and earned it a fourstar review in The New York Times) before leaving to begin his impressive chef-restaurateur career, which includes opening Café Boulud in Palm Beach. “My days at Le Cirque

were very intense,” Boulud says.

“Very filled and fulfilled.”

Maccioni jokingly describes his relationship with Boulud as “love/hate,” confessing they did have their differences. “I’m glad at my age now, we’re the best of friends,” he says.

For the entrée, Murphy prepared veal medallion served atop a bed of finely diced fregula and green beans.

“I wanted it to look like confetti because [it’s] Le Cirque—it’s the circus,” he says. The dish was crowned with veal sweetbreads and a touch of horseradish veal reduction sauce.

Like Reginensi, Murphy served as a chef de partie at Le Cirque under Portay. His fondest memories of working at the restaurant involve Maccioni bursting into the kitchen, impressively speaking Italian, French and English in the same sentence.

Next was a warm and wintery interactive fondue course from Simms, who chose the dish because it fed into the rest of the menu.

Simms played a crucial role in sourcing highquality ingredients and coordinating plating. With five diverse chefs and about 40 additional culinarians working on the dinner, Simms wasn’t sure what to expect. By the end of the meal, however, he was overwhelmed by the level of camaraderie and generosity in the kitchen.

“When you can work with people like that and have an evening like that, it just makes you a better chef,” he says.

Dessert, by Chef David Burke, arrived in the form of butterscotch panna cotta with crunchy meringue sticks. Burke described the dish as “a perfect dessert 86

Burke knows Maccioni as a neighbor to his Upper East Side restaurants and admires him for his dedication and passion for the industry. “It is a true honor for anyone to work under Sirio,” he says.

After dessert, Torres sugar-coated the evening by hosting an after-party. The chocolatier, who Maccioni praises as “a miracle” and “some kind of a genius,” entertained guests with fresh pastries and hot chocolate.

Torres says the dinner was a way to thank Maccioni “for the platform that he gave us with Le Cirque to do what we love to do.”

Before the meal’s end, Vincent Giamporcaro, a guest from Boynton Beach, approached Maccioni and introduced himself, handing over a 40-year-old business card.

Four decades ago, Maccioni—who was working at New York’s The Pierre at the time—had written on the card the address of the hotel and a home phone number so Giamporcaro could always reach him for a reservation. Amazed by Maccioni’s hospitality, Giamporcaro held on to the card.

It was a relic from Maccioni’s early days and a testament that he always knew how to make an impression. u

sWeeten The Deal Pour these wines to savor dessert in a glass.

By Mark Spivak

Back in the days before refrigeration, sweet wine reigned supreme. The high sugar levels functioned as a preservative, a means of extending the life of the wine beyond the six to 12 months common at the time. And while centuries ago these beverages were reserved for aristocrats and tables of the rich because people’s palates preferred them, today the opposite is true—dry wines tend to rule.

Even so, modern oenophiles thoroughly embrace and enjoy these sweet sips, which can be priced from affordable to stratospheric. The easiest and least costly des-

Treat yourself to Sauternes from Château d’Yquem (pictured) and the ice wines of Inniskillin’s winter harvest (below).

sert wines to make are those in which fermentation is stopped early. The process creates residual sugar—a portion of sugar not converted to alcohol. The most popular examples include Ports, as well as Muscats produced in the South of France. In both of these types, the wines are fortified, meaning neutral spirits have been added to stop the fermentation and raise the levels of sugar and alcohol.

Another method relies on cold weather to increase the sugar levels in grapes.

German winemakers in particular take full advantage of this fact to elevate the production of eiswein (ice wine) to a fine art.

To make this uncommon and expensive elixir, fruit is literally left to freeze on the vines and is sometimes harvested as late as December. Canadian ice wine, pioneered by wineries such as Inniskillin, is a less pricey yet high-quality and delicious alternative to the German version.

The most famous sweet wines are produced as a result of Botrytis cinerea, or “noble rot.” This benevolent fungus attacks grapes from the outside and dehydrates them, raising the sugar level while leaving the acidity intact. White grapes with thin skins, such as Sémillon and Riesling, are the main 90

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

targets. These wines are difficult to make because the fungus only appears under specific weather conditions and the fruit must be harvested by hand, sometimes one berry at a time. However, results can be glorious: Wines of the Quarts de Chaume in the Loire Valley made from Chenin Blanc and the renowned late-harvest Rieslings of Germany’s Mosel region are pure, honeyed gold.

The best known botrytis-affected wine is the spectacular Sauternes. Produced in the southern Graves region of Bordeaux, where the maritime climate frequently yields conditions favorable for noble rot, Sauternes generally is composed of a blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle grapes. Along with the red wines of the Médoc, the sweet wines of Barsac and

Sharp cheeses and poached pears are winsome complements to dessert wines.

Sauternes were ranked in France’s official Classification of 1855. These two sweet varietals were broken into First and Second Growths.

Just one property stood out as a Superior First Growth: the peerless Château d’Yquem.

The singular estate has been making wine since the early eighteenth century. It was owned for more than 200 years by the LurSaluces family and then purchased in 1996 by LVMH Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton. An 80/20 blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, the magical liquid is highly sought-after and extremely expensive. Bottles from the best recent vintages, such as the 2001, have commanded prices in the neighborhood of $1,000. Anyone with very deep pockets might want to pick up a bottle of the 1811 for $120,000.

Sweet love leads to fine food marriages. Those who believe the only suitable pairings for Sauternes are foie gras and strong cheeses need to broaden their horizons and consider some unexpectedly happy couples.

On its website, Château d’Yquem plays matchmaker, hitching its wine with oysters and mussels (favorites of Balzac and Dumas, respectively), lobster, poultry, game and desserts like poached pears and apple tart.

Sommeliers have long agonized over how to follow Sauternes when it is served early in a meal with foie gras. To solve the dilemma, Yquem suggests serving consommé immediately afterward to refresh the palate.

You will fall in love all over again when dessert arrives. u

Evolving Italian Evo elevates Sicilian cooking to an art form.

By Mark Spivak

94

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Chef Erik Pettersen is a man on a mission.

His goal is to recreate the culinary heritage of his Sicilian parents and grandparents, and he is succeeding beyond anyone’s expectations.

His restaurant, Evo (short for “evolution”), moved to the Tequesta Fashion Mall in the fall after five years in another location. The new venue allowed him to expand his seating capacity and obtain a full liquor license. The main dining room is warmly decorated in tones of red and gold and looks out to a garden highlighted by a gazebo and outdoor tables. Near the entrance are a popular bar and an auxiliary room that can be used for private parties. The overall feeling is one of elegance, comfort and style.

Pettersen is a fourth-generation chef, and red sauce runs deep in his DNA. An appetizer of eggplant rollatini ($14) redefines the dish: The eggplant is gently fried, as promised on the menu, while the filling of whipped ricotta and pecorino Romano is feather-light, and the San Marzano tomatoes are bright and tart. A starter of gamberetto oreganata ($18) is equally impressive. Tender U-6 jumbo shrimp are but-

Gambero con prosciutto a Campari and costoletta di vitello (bottom left) are among the specialties at Evo.

terflied and sautéed, topped with seasoned breadcrumbs and served in a sauce of white wine, lemon, butter and fresh garlic (this is one chef who doesn’t skimp on garlic).

To find out how good Southern Italian cooking can get, order the meat platter ($34), which will transport you to a Sicilian home on a Sunday afternoon. Meatballs are light and fluffy, sweet sausage is studded with pieces of fennel and veal braciole is meltingly tender. Dressed with more of those remarkable San Marzano tomatoes, the dish is served over al dente half-rigatoni. At the other end of the spectrum, a daily special of hog snapper ($35) gets a distinctly Northern treatment, sautéed alla francese and set atop a mound of spinach. The delicate treatment contrasts nicely with the rich, intense flavor of the fish.

Pasta entrees consist of classics such as linguine alla vongole, bucatini carbonara and a painstaking Bolognese sauce made from veal, pork and beef. In the unlikely event you should have room for them, desserts are traditional as well: lemon ricotta cheesecake, tiramisu, chocolate brownies and assorted gelati.

Snapper livornaise (far left); the dining room at Evo.

The wine list comprises nearly 200 bottles, weighted toward Italy (as it should be) with a healthy representation from California. Prices are reasonable, and there are even some affordable Super Tuscans on the list. Wines by the glass are interesting, including Borgo Conventi Pinot Grigio ($9) and Prunotto Arneis ($11). The glass

selections are customized to fit the evening’s specials, and unusual reds such as Tormaresca Neprica or a Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso are likely to appear.

Service is delightful, beginning with the friendly greeting at the door and continuing throughout dinner. The servers are cheerful, helpful and walking advertisements for Pettersen’s repertoire and methods. They are well-informed on the preparation of the dishes and offer recommendations to first-time diners.

Evo is an intriguing dining experience, a well-executed effort to transform Southern Italian cuisine from a cliché to an art form. Not surprisingly, it is ex-

tremely popular with locals, and reservations are strongly advised. Whether a newcomer or regular, you’ll be treated with the same warmth and partake of some singular, flavorful food. u

sweet Sake

When it comes to alcohol, fruit is a common addition in cocktails and certain light beers. At Palm Sugar on Clematis Street, it’s also in the sake.

The Asian restaurant creates its own pineappleflavored sake using real fruit, a healthier alternative to simple syrup. The process is easy: Pineapple is added to a base sake, which sits for two weeks and is tasted halfway through. The result is a refreshing, sweet sip, served cold, that will have even sake skeptics cheesily requesting, “Sake to me.” (561-820-9206, palmsugarwpb.com)

Like many business partnerships, local restaurateurs Dennis Max and Burt Rapoport have experienced their share of collaborations and independent projects. After a falling out more than a decade ago, they’ve patched things up and joined forces again to open Burt and Max’s at the new Delray Marketplace.

Billed as the new version of Max’s Grille, the restaurant retains the duo’s California fare concept and farm-fresh focus. For the most part, the menu offers dishes that won’t make guests feel guilty, including gluten-free options like cedar-plank roasted salmon and free-range roasted chicken, both of which are served with wild rice and quinoa pilaf. Burgers and fries are on the menu, too, along with intriguing wood-fired pizza combinations, like the Al Caprino: grilled eggplant, pine nuts, roasted peppers, goat cheese, mozzarella, spicy arugula and tomato sauce on whole wheat dough.

balance kicking gluten For some, “gluten-free” may be the newest dieting buzzword, but for others, it’s a crucial part of life. Gluten, a protein found in grains like wheat, barley and rye, pops up in many food products. Some people are unable to digest gluten because of intolerance to the substance or celiac disease. There are a number of naturally gluten-free alternatives, such as almond flour and soy, and the market for these products is growing. Enter the South Florida Gluten Free Expo. Phyllis Kessler, founder and president of the South Florida Celiac Support Group, established the event six years ago. “I decided there was a need to bring companies from all over the country to Florida, to have people sample their gluten-free products and to find out how they can buy them locally,” she says.

This year’s expo takes place April 27 at the South Florida Fairgrounds and will include products from national and international companies as well as medical information. (561-637-0396, southfloridaceliacsupport.org)

Under Kornblum’s guidance, the hour-long class flies by. Pilates-inspired stretches lead into more intense moves on the barre. Exercises on the barre and floor as well as training with bands and weights are all designed to tone muscles and build endurance. Shaking limbs are normal (as I discovered), and first-timers are encouraged to listen to their bodies, though the class is designed for all levels.

Kornblum ends the workout with yoga and a few moments of meditation. I left feeling slightly exhausted but fully rejuvenated. La Barre is the perfect exercise for those looking to sculpt, improve flexibility and enjoy camaraderie with a supportive group of fitness fans. (561-833-9393, labarrestudio.com)

Bruce & Maria Shaw

This Ride Made Possible By The Orthopedic & Spine Center at Jupiter Medical Center.

Bruce and Maria Shaw love the outdoors. But when hip pain made it difficult for Bruce to walk from the parking lot to the grocery store, he knew he needed help. Bruce had a hip resurfacing procedure at Jupiter Medical Center. Maria was so impressed with his results that she followed suit two years later. Today, they are pain-free and back on the right bike path.

At Jupiter Medical Center’s Orthopedic & Spine Center of Excellence, patients have access to the latest in surgical techniques and equipment including partial hip resurfacing, anterior hip replacement with the hana® Table and MAKOplasty robotic partial knee resurfacing.

We are proud that our Orthopedic Center of Excellence has been certified by the Joint Commission in Total Knee, Hip and Shoulder replacements. It recognizes our commitment to meeting the specific needs of our patients and families.

“Thank You for Giving Me My Life Back” It’s been three months since I had hip replacement surgery, and I’m back doing the things I love most. Thanks to the dedicated team at the Bethesda Orthopaedic Institute, I received state-of-the-art care that had me out of bed just 6 hours after surgery. With wonderful surgeons, specialty trained orthopaedic nurses, a comprehensive therapy program and all private rooms, Bethesda’s team gave me everything I needed to reclaim my life.

agenda culture v Music man He’s penned more than 4,000 songs, accumulated dozens of top-40 hits and been inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In 1960, he delivered Motown’s first No. 1 single, “Shop Around.” He served as vice president of Motown for two decades, during which time he wrote songs for The Miracles and other Motown artists; Robinson can count The Temptations’ “My Girl” and “The Way You Do the Things You Do” among his accomplishments. Robinson, who has managed to stay relevant throughout his 50-year music career, will perform at the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce on April 12.

1. How would you describe the state of the local real estate market today?

Now is a great time for both buyers and sellers because the market is improving and activity is brisk. The best properties are getting shown all the time. Buyers realize they need to act now to lock in the best pricing, and sellers see the benefit of listing their homes now and getting in on the action after years of market stagnation.

2. What is your process with clients?

I tailor a unique program to meet the individual needs of each client. Some clients are very analytical and want a lot of data, and I enjoy creating custom spreadsheet analyses to answer their questions. Other clients are very visual, so I develop aerial photography and other visual tools to give them a bird’s-eye perspective of a property and the surrounding area.

Most importantly, I listen to my clients’ needs and ask specific questions to make sure I am giving them the information that means the most to them. I want my clients to know I will provide whatever it takes to help them feel comfortable so they are fully prepared to make an informed decision.

3. Is there any information you feel uniquely qualified to share?

I am proud of my long-standing joint-venture partnership with one of the area’s top general contractors, Lavelle Construction. This 25-year relationship has given me vast experience on the construction side of the housing market. Since the beginning of my career, I have been personally responsible for almost 20 luxury model homes, all of which sold at the top of the market in three states—Florida, Ohio and California—and totaled almost $100 million in sales. Those model home sales taught me what the market wants, and I am happy to share that knowledge with my clients.

Even though I realize each client bases their ultimate decision on family needs, I am obligated to advise them to step back from the personal decision and look at the property from a pure investment perspective, too.

I always have my “construction hat” on protecting their resale value.

Rest in Peace Palm Beach Dramaworks brings lightness to the dark subject of death with Eugene Ionesco’s tragicomedy Exit the King from March 29 through April 28.

Written in 1962, Exit the King is the third of four plays in Ionesco’s “Berenger Cycle,” which follows incarnations of the Berenger character.

Having witnessed the decay of his once-great kingdom, the 400-year-old ruler is told he will die by the end of Exit the King. Yet Berenger has trouble coming to grips with his own mortality, and audiences watch him experience the five stages of grief in a humorous and moving manner. With frequent breaks in the fourth wall and exaggerated conceits, Exit the King is a great introduction to Ionesco’s work and to the theater of the absurd.

FINALE Ballet has been a lifelong passion for Vicki Kellogg, who attended her first performance at age 3. She studied the discipline along with figure skating and the violin, a talent that granted her admission to the prestigious Juilliard School at age 5— the youngest violinist at the time to be accepted. As a professional violinist years later, Vicki performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Barbra Streisand and the Joffrey Ballet, among others. She moved to Palm Beach in 2004 and supports performing arts nonprofits such as the Palm Beach Opera, the Palm Beach Symphony and the Chamber Music Society of Palm Beach, which she founded. This year, she served as co-chair of American Ballet Theatre’s annual fundraiser, An Evening in Palm Beach.
