" WHEN YOU FLY A RACING PLANE PROPELLED BY A 3200 HP ENGINE, YOU NEED THE SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE OF THE WORLD’S BEST CHRONOGRAPH."

Upon arriving as a youngster in the U.S. with just a few dollars in his pocket, Thom Richard had just one dream: to fly aircraft. A seasoned pilot who has clocked up more than 9,000 flight hours, he now lives his passion to the full – in particular by taking part in the famous Reno competitions at the controls of Precious Metal, the most legendary of all race planes.

His next challenge is to set the world speed record and to win Reno. On his wrist is the Chronomat, an ultra-sturdy and ultra-reliable instrument powered by a high-performance "engine", a 100% Breitling movement.

For Thom Richard, it is quite simply the world’s best chronograph.

Seeing the possibilities The South Florida Science Museum ignites curiosity and furthers the understanding and appreciation of science and technology. Wells Fargo is proud to help bring the museum’s exhibits and programs to our communities.

Last year, our contributions provided Title I elementary school children the opportunity to visit the museum’s fully equipped planetarium and helped fund an engineering competition designed to encourage student creativity and ingenuity.

Additionally, Heath Randolph, a Wells Fargo team member, actively participates on the museum’s board of trustees, helping to ensure the successful continuation of these and similar programs.

We believe we can only be as strong as the communities in which we live and work. That’s why Wells Fargo and its team members have contributed more than $11 million to nonprofit organizations throughout Florida this past year.

We salute the South Florida Science Museum for its commitment to learning.

v FROM THE PUBLISHER

Great Expectations I

robert nelson

love the arts—especially the visual arts, and I consider myself creative. But, I also have a flair for math and science, and statistics catch my attention—especially when they are backed by good science that confirms my observations.

Condé Nast, the publisher of Vogue, Architectural Digest, Vanity Fair, Brides, Wired and many other magazines, has repeated a study it first conducted six years ago. Guess what? Magazine readership among young people (defined as 18-24) is the highest it’s been in decades. Fashion and beauty magazines attract about 50 percent more young readers than they did in 2001. Business magazine readership among that group is up, too.

It seems the only major decline among young people is women’s service magazines such as Good Housekeeping, and, of course, TV Guide and Reader’s Digest have lost readers across all ages. But the notion that people—especially young people—have lost interest in magazines just is not true. Sure, we’re all spending more time in front of computer, tablet and smart phone screens, but not at the expense of magazine readership.

One interesting aspect of the study is that while young women used to “grow out” of fashion and beauty magazines quickly, they now stick with them long after their mid-20s. At our events and in our strategic partnerships throughout the community, I have been impressed with how many younger people tell me they love our magazines, then prove it by telling me about specific features they read and regular columns they never miss. That’s not scientific, but the Condé Nast data indicates what I am observing is, indeed, fact, and that our team has done a great job.

This set of readers is comprised of women and men. They come to our pages for fashion trends and ideas, the great cars Howard Walker test-drives in “High Road,” the best food, great interiors and fascinating people.

I don’t mind seeing them slip away to check their text messages. So long as they come back to our pages, I’m happy, very happy. And I’m thrilled they’re talking about us on Twitter!

v EDITOR’S LETTER

Health is Wealth had the good fortune recently to attend the Luxury Summit, the annual conference headed up by American Express Publishing for leaders in various areas of the luxury space. It was illuminating, not only because such forums generate a spirited exchange of ideas, but also because American Express, in partnership with the Harrison Group, presented the results of its Survey of Affluence and Wealth in America.

It was good news, for the most part. Though long-term optimism appears to be lagging, the luxury consumer remains strong, if somewhat guarded. What matters now are experiences more than objects, family more than social connections, needs more than wants.

In a way, it can be argued those things always have been valued by the wealthy— and wise. It has taken global uncertainty to bring them to the forefront, and a healthy dose of introspection to keep them there. And though circles of trust are becoming ever tighter, there is plenty of space for those who earn that trust by bringing value and vision to the table.

Because Palm Beach Illustrated targets affluent audiences, we take such findings, as well as anecdotal information we gather daily in our market, very seriously and strive to give our readers exactly what they want now. One of the hottest topics is wellness, as fitness, nutrition and disease prevention trump just about everything else on the importance scale. Health, as they say, is wealth.

We have devoted the July/August issue to this very concept. Our annual Health Report, a roundup of health topics ranging from molecular-level research to germ-free flatware, begins on page 63. Because it’s been so popular, we will be introducing “Balance,” a monthly department with similar content, starting with the September issue.

If you’re into social media, find out how you can harness the power of those platforms to get in shape, eat better and push your athletic abilities to the next level. It used to be your mother who shamed you into eating your vegetables; now it’s your Twitter followers. In “Net Gains” (page 58), we offer a list of apps that combine old-fashioned accountability with new technology to help you lead a healthier lifestyle.

Think of it as a necessary luxury. Enjoy the issue.

forward Questions

3Q

v SINBAD

Actor and comedian Sinbad has been getting audiences to laugh since the ’90s. His standup routine, which has earned him several HBO comedy specials, usually features humorous life stories about growing up as an afro-sporting preacher’s son, and he often sings and plays funk music on stage. He’s appeared in movies such as Jingle All The Way and Necessary Roughness and starred in the sitcom A Different World before getting his own series, The Sinbad Show. He’ll perform at the Palm Beach Improv from July 6-8. —Jennifer Pfaff

Ian White

n Tell us about your routine today. What stories are you telling on stage now?

You know, it’s the same since Day One: I never know what I’m going to talk about. I’ve never kept a set of what I’m doing; it happens when I walk on stage. The first word out of my mouth, I never know what that’s going to be. It’s unprepared because my life is unprepared [laughs]. I always compare it to music.

I’m trained enough, but I just play what I want to play. I trust my fingers to go where they need to go. n What’s in your iPod these days?

Jazz. My daughter, Paige Bryan. And things like Kings of Comedy. These days, that’s where I’m getting my moves. And always funk. I’m always playing funk. n How much would we have to pay you to grow an afro again?

[Laughs] If I could grow an afro, I’d pay you!

If I could rock that now, I’d rock it. That’s the only thing I regret—that ’fro is gone forever.

I miss it. The bell-bottoms, we can let those go. Some things only come around once.

first class v HISTORIC LUXURY Medieval castles dot the landscape of the Emerald Isle, many restored as fine hotels.

By ROBERT RAGAINI

courtesy Castlemartyr Resort

Many of Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s castles are ancient tower houses, whose battered walls attest to a history of violent times.

Today, Castlemartyr Resort, an eighteenth-century classic manor house that lies adjacent to the ruins of an 800-year-old castle originally built by the Knights Templar under Richard Earl de Clare, is a haven for peaceful pastimes and relaxation.

The Manor State Rooms are unabashedly opulent, with marble bathrooms, enormous beds and separate dressing

rooms. The four Grand Suites are justly named, with spectacular panoramic views of the lake and meadows. There is only one Presidential Suite, and it is magnificent, so book early if you are interested in the ultimate in luxury.

While the five-star resort provides many activities and amenities for adults, the resort is family friendly, with provisions made for separate children’s activities, kids’ times in the pool and age-appropriate dining in the Bell Tower gourmet restaurant. Should parental guilt set in, families can spend quality time together by visiting a nearby wildlife park or Leahy’s Open Farm at petting time.

A charming way to learn some of the property’s lore is via a tour in an open horse-drawn “trap” to the original castle, “cannonballed,” the driver says, by Oliver Cromwell. The formal gardens stretching the length of the manor provide tranquility, while a nearby ultramodern glass structure houses a large pool, gym and spa. Also inspiring is the environmentally

friendly links golf course, designed with distinctive hills and valleys that reduce the need for irrigation.

When you’re ready to venture out of the resort, there are two interesting attractions that are worth the time. The cavernous buildings of the Jameson Old Distillery in Midleton are straight out of Dickens. In Cobh (Cove), a town of multicolored houses, the imaginative Titanic Experience takes place at the actual departure point for the ship’s last 123 passengers. Each visitor receives a boarding pass bearing the name of one of those ill-fated souls.

Leaving Castlemartyr, a stop at the English Market in Cork is a must-see. Each morning, fishmonger Pat O’Connell fillets salmon with astonishing speed. A photo behind him shows O’Connell sharing a laugh with Queen Elizabeth II during a royal visit. The usually serious monarch is transformed into a grandmotherly woman beaming in pure delight.

Another luxurious castle hotel lies just eight miles from Shannon Airport in Clare. At the end of a long, winding drive, a turreted tower unites the two wings of the grand country estate, Dromoland (droh-MOHland) Castle. Spread out on 410 acres, the castle’s brick walls protect the colorful explosion of flowers and deep green lawns of a beautiful garden. The resort offers sporting activities such as clay shooting, and a championship golf course skirts a lake stocked with trout. The clubhouse fronts a casual restaurant

courtesy Dromoland Castle

and a spa offering a wide variety of treatments as well as a swimming pool and gym.

Inside the castle, ancient oak paneling lines a maze of corridors that meander to magnificent dining rooms and warm, inviting hideaways where afternoon tea is served. Prime dining is relegated to the charmingly appointed five-star Earl of Thomond Restaurant, serving delectable dishes—Irish smoked salmon, roasted rosemary Guinea fowl, glazed suckling pig and braised black sole to name a few. Accompanying wines range from the “pleasurable” to the Old Vintage Cellar’s impressive bottles, with vintages ranging from 1929 to 1990.

One sight to add to your itinerary is the Cliffs of Moher. On the way there, the drive reveals the picturesque scenery of village shops resplendent in yellows, blues, reds and shocking pinks. At the Cliffs, five miles of sheer rock tumble through the mist to the fickle Irish Sea. Close by is the coastal town of Doolin, a favorite tourist stop that is a center for traditional Irish music played nightly in historic pubs.

A stone’s throw from Dromoland stands the massive tower house Bunratty Castle. In the sixteenth century, chieftains of the O’Brien clan reigned over stewards, cooks, scullions and pages. Today, at the

foot of the restored castle is Bunratty Folk Park, a marvelous collection of nineteenth-century farms, stores, pubs and gardens.

Wherever you choose to stay, hospitality starts at the top. The general managers of both Castlemartyr and Dromoland personally welcome guests with a friendliness expressed by the entire staff. In this small country, the famous warmth of the Irish will make you feel like visiting royalty. castlemartyrresort.ie; dromoland.ie; dromolandcollection.ie u palmbeachillustrated.com | JULY/AUGUST 2012 37

GHOST RIDER Stretching Rolls-Royce’s entry model has created a new benchmark in limo luxury.

By HOWARD WALKER

Conjure up in your mind, if you will, some of the finest seats in the house.

For opera lovers, that could be a box at La Scala in Milan, with Bocelli on lead vocals. For sports fans, it might be courtside at a Lakers game, sharing popcorn with Jack Nicholson. Or how about seat 1A on the first Virgin Galactic flight, boldly going into inner space? The list is endless.

Myself, I’d happily opt for the backseat of the latest Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase, feet submerged in the furry luxury of those lambswool rugs, seat massager set on full-Helga and maybe a little Bocelli played through the car’s 600-watt stereo. Ah, Vivare.

While you’d never describe the backseat of the standard Ghost as cramped, it is, shall we say, a little on the cozy side. All that changes with the arrival of the EWB, or Extended Wheelbase. The car gets a 6.7-inch stretch, which essentially doubles the rear-pew legroom from 6.3 inches to an NBA-approved 13 inches.

Yet the beauty of execution is that this new longer Ghost doesn’t look like some prom-queen stretched Town Car. With the rear doors just 1.3 inches longer than the fronts, everything appears 38

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

totally in proportion. Some would say the extra length adds even more visual elegance to the lines. A little like Gisele Bündchen sliding into 6-inch Manolos.

Now when you open one of the Ghost’s rear-hinged “coach” doors, step gracefully into the back and slide easily into the leather Barcalounger, you enter a world of complete and utter stretch-out hedonism.

The seats themselves are just magnificent, offering the ability to cool, massage, recline and fully cosset their occupants. And they’re positioned in such a way that you sit behind the door pillar, shielded from evil paparazzi or the gaze of passing gawkers.

Stretching the Ghost has added around 130 pounds to the car’s waistline. But when you have a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 nuclear reactor under the hood punching out 563 horsepower and a mighty 575 pound-feet of torque, it’s hardly of consequence.

Now when you bury the accelerator in the lambswool, you’ll lunge from standstill to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds. That, according to Rolls, is a mere 0.1 seconds slower than the standard car. Big deal.

What’s still hard to put into meaningful words is the absolutely

breathtaking thrust that’s delivered by this big-bore version of BMW’s direct-injection 12-cylinder. The fact that its acceleration is in near total silence only adds to the experience. Think rock from a catapult, fighter off a carrier deck, express elevator up the Empire State Building. Similar, but different.

Maybe it’s the sheer effortlessness of its forward motion that astounds the most. See the gap in the traffic five cars ahead, squeeze the throttle, feel the near-imperceptible kickdown of the eight-speed automatic and the sensation of being squeezed hard into the seatback. Boy, this buggy moves. Disney’s Space Mountain doesn’t even come close.

And if you absolutely must drive, the Ghost will surprise and delight with its near sports sedan-like responses. This is a whopper of a car that somehow shrivels in size the faster you go. With much of its go-faster technology sourced from BMW—the air suspension,

the electronic variable damping, the active roll stabilization, the dynamic chassis control and smart brakes—it simply goes where you point it.

You’ll pay $290,000 for a “base” Ghost Extended Wheelbase—$40,000 more than the standard car—to which you need to add $2,000 for delivery and $1,700 for gas-guzzler. Check a few options boxes, like $2,850 for those must-have picnic tables and $6,450 for individual rear seats instead of the standard bench, and you’ll be up to $325,000 before you know it.

Why not stretch to a flagship Phantom for another $55,000? To me, the Ghost has more appeal because it feels much less ostentatious, less grandiose, less Simon Cowell (who owns two). And somehow more youthful, more of a daily driver.

But really, front seat or back, in this long Ghost there isn’t a bad seat in the house. u

Why do people love our Four-Diamond Florida beachfront resort?

Maybe it’s our white-sand beach or our luxurious suites. Maybe it’s our challenging golf, our USTA award-winning Tennis Gardens, our indulgent Island House Spa or our six superb restaurants.

Whatever it is, it’s all here.

And it’s all yours.

The Raw

By Liza Grant Smith

Deal Get the skinny on the raw food revolution.

i

f I approached new opportunities purely by focusing on the potential benefits, I would own a great number of underused infomercial products. My personal decision strategy, when confronted with any undertaking, is to immediately create a list of “concerns” (a.k.a. excuses). While some may laud this as a prudent analytical method, it’s more a way to allow me guilt-free inactivity and financial solvency.

Take a raw food diet, for instance. Considering only the touted benefits, I would be somewhere sharing a wheat grass smoothie with famed raw foodist Demi Moore at this very moment. The pitch, after all, is fairly straightforward and persuasive.

Enzymes are the life force of raw or living food, helping us digest food and absorb nutrients. When we cook food (heat it above 104-118 degrees), we denature the enzymes. This means our body will have to work harder by producing more enzymes, which can leave us feeling tired and heavy. Plus, it is believed that our bodies can only produce a limited amount of enzymes.

48

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Once the supply is finished, organ function will lessen and we will experience accelerated aging.

Secondly, raw diets tend to be alkaline diets.

When you eat a diet high in acid, found in processed foods, sugar, meat, dairy, etc., you are consuming acidic toxins faster than your body can eliminate them. They begin to back up and disrupt your body’s delicate acid/alkaline balance, a major cause of excess weight and disease. With an uncooked diet, your body can naturally detoxify itself and keep itself healthy.

The promised payoffs of eating primarily raw fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, sprouts and seaweed? Everything from more energy, clarity of mind and an improved immune system, to weight loss, improved digestion and better skin.

With several particularly gluttonous months behind me, I felt it only fair to give raw food experts the opportunity to discredit the mental case I have built against their way of life. I went inside the walls of what I heretofore believed was an elusive raw food world and confronted them with my list of whiny excuses. I

Concern No. 2

still had a bag of potato chips at the ready, but I was willing to listen.

Concern No. 1 It’s not going to taste good.

Perhaps no one has better disproven this preconception locally than Chef Christopher Slawson. Early last year, Slawson opened Christopher’s Kitchen, a farm-to-table restaurant in Palm Beach Gardens that launched without a stove or oven to underscore his dedication to living food. The menu is varied (tacos, lasagna, vegetable sushi) and surprisingly (to me) mouthwatering. His signature Sun Burger is a veggie burger with avocado, zucchini bacon, cashew cheese and a bevy of towering fresh toppings.

“It’s focusing on fresh organic, plant-based ingredients in an artful and creative way,” says Slawson of his menu. “You can create a lot of pâtés and sauces and flavors with spices and organic fruits and vegetables. There’s so much 50

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

It will never stick because I will continue to crave all the foods from my old processed-food life.

As it turns out, this is a twofold concern.

Cravings have both a physical and emotional component.

In terms of the physical, there is good news and bad news. The bad news is that poor food choices over the years have corrupted our taste buds. We are born with a balanced instinct about food, so the things our body needs are what taste good. However, the more processed food we eat growing up, the more confused our body gets. The good news is that we can reset our body’s natural instincts. Taste buds are replaced every 10-14 days. As old cells die and new ones are born, the pores adjust to the shape of the molecules you’re eating. Committing to a diet that includes a lot of raw food allows your taste buds to once again operate at their maximum potential.

Having adopted raw foods into her diet, local ceramic artist and yoga instructor Sara Lerner has experienced that firsthand. “Your taste buds become so heightened that sugar, or things that are sugary, doesn’t have any satisfaction or charge to it,” she says.

Slawson agrees. “Once you start to get really clean, your body does a shift, almost unconsciously moving away from allowing these cravings. If you’re used to eating high-end ingredients and you put a Dorito in your mouth, you’re going to think it tastes very foreign and your body is not going to enjoy it,” he says.

Emotional cravings can be more difficult to overcome, but many raw food enthusiasts claim you don’t have to fight them.

Dina Marie Lauro, a local raw/vegan chef, has made a career of teaching people how to create sneaky substitutes.

“People still crave carbs and all the other stuff, but you learn other ways. You can make cheese out of nuts. I teach a class on desserts

and make an ice cream out of blueberries, bananas and a little stevia and nut milk,” she says.

Perhaps Lauro’s biggest processed food imposter success has been with Chunkie Dunkies, her line of gourmet raw/vegan cookies, which will soon be carried in local Whole Foods stores.

Concern No. 3 It’s too time consuming.

As it turns out, preparation time is a variable wholly controlled by the individual.

“You can really get involved and spend hours and hours in the kitchen making raw taco shells or you can just use a romaine leaf. It really depends on your time,” claims Slawson.

Chef Renate Wallner, a chef and instructor with the West Palm Beach-based raw and living food educational center Hippocrates Health Institute, echoes this sentiment.

“In normal life, we don’t make lasagna every day,” she says. “When I make gourmet meals, it’s a labor of love, and that takes a certain amount of time. In raw food, it’s the same thing. There are some dishes that are labor intensive and there are some that are very easy and perfect for daily life. Leafy green salads with sprouts, veggies and some seeds take very little preparation and can become the core.”

“There are others who spend a lot of time in the chopping and food prep, but I’m not one of those people,” admits Lerner. “Salads and beans, tons of fruits and veggies and lots of unusual spices. I don’t ever get bored of it.”

Concern No. 4 It’s more expensive.

Most of us own a blender and food processor, which are the basics necessary for much of the raw food preparation. Those desiring to take it to the next level in terms of effort and money would probably need to purchase a juicer and a dehydrator.

In terms of food expenditures, there is no denying that organic produce is more expensive than conventional. However, when it comes to cost (whether equipment investment or ingredients), raw food advocates encourage focusing on the long-term view.

“Ill health is more expensive than buying organic produce,” says Lerner. “For me, it’s worth every penny.”

Lauro suggests joining an organic buying club to help defray some of the additional cost. “I belong to a group called Healthy Living Organics and get produce twice a month,” she says.

Left to right: Smoothies are a good way to ease into eating raw; mini brownie sundae from Christopher’s Kitchen; seeds and grains add texture and fiber.

Concern No. 5 I can’t have a normal social life if I’m always eating raw.

Raw food is not an all-or-nothing proposition. To be considered a “raw foodist,” 75-100 percent of your total food consumption must be raw food. However, achieving that ratio (or nomenclature) is not critical in reaping the benefits from raw foods.

“I never work with any figures and I don’t like to put any labels on myself,” says Lauro.

“My body mainly craves fresh food, but if palmbeachillustrated.com | july/august 2012 51

I don’t think, ‘I have to eat all raw.’ I just think, ‘What’s healthy that I’m going to eat today?’”

“There’s a social aspect to eating as well,” claims Lerner. “There is a wonderful exchange between human beings that occurs at a dinner table. Participating in that dance of wine or whatever is being offered is something I wouldn’t say no to. I eat cooked foods. I just view my food consciously.”

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Concern No. 6 The transition will be too difficult.

While Hippocrates offers a Life Transformation Program where participants eat 100-percent raw from inception, Director of Operations Scott Josephson advises that introducing raw foods at home is more gradual.

“Slow and steady wins the race. This is a not a diet, it’s a lifestyle change,” he advises. “You incorporate it one step at a time.”

The key is to stick with it.

“When you do something 21 days, it can become habitual. For example, when you brush your teeth, you don’t think about it; you just do it,” he says.

Lauro agrees. “Many people start with juicing and smoothies, because then they’re getting all their fresh produce that way. You have to just stick with them, though,” she says. “Try them for two weeks, three weeks, a month and see how you feel. That will speak volumes.”

I’ll be the first to admit it. Under the weight of knowledge, my tower of concerns has folded like a house of cards. I am forced to hand over the chip bag before someone (namely me) gets hurt.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired, I’m off to find a good wheatgrass supplier and see if I can figure out where Demi Moore hangs out. u

Tired of running on a treadmill or “climbing” stairs to nowhere? There are different (and, yes, fun) ways to stay in shape that are far from the same old workout routine.

Peaceful Flow Yoga is a practice of balance and relaxation. But how balanced and relaxed can you be while doing yoga poses on a paddleboard in the middle of the water? According to Cora Ciaffone, who teaches “yogaboarding” at the Jupiter Outdoor Center, floating on the water actually makes for a more nurturing and soothing experience. “Being on the water gives you a more profound connection with nature,” she says.

Ciaffone has been leading yogaboarding classes for almost five years at the center on Jupiter’s Aquatic Preserve, and her classes include yoga veterans and people who have never taken yoga before, even on land. Obviously, some people have a little trepidation when it comes to doing yoga on a paddleboard in the water, but she designs the classes using poses that are doable, including downward dog, pigeon and some warrior poses, but gives options for students to try more advanced challenges, like shoulder stands.

The hour-long class starts with meditation, then moves into posing. If weather permits, Ciaffone takes the class out a bit farther, or even across the Intracoastal and around Burt Reynolds Island for more yoga and meditation, and she always works on core training, which helps with balance.

In addition to gaining balance and peace, Ciaffone says that being able to do yoga on the water gives students more confidence, and perhaps allows them to expand beyond yoga to try something new that they didn’t think they could do before. (561-747-0063, jupi teroutdoorcenter.com)

Total Body A change from boot camp, CrossFit is gaining popularity. What is it? According to Rob LaBar of CrossFit Boynton Beach, it is “consistently varied, functional movements executed at a high intensity.”

For the variety part, each day starts with the WOD (workout of the day). The workouts are the same all

palmbeachillustrated.com | july/august 2012 55

Medicine balls are used in CrossFit to work the upper body, while squats help the legs and buttocks.

Below: Students do pull ups at CrossFit Boynton Beach.

LaBar says. “Every workout can be modified for the individual.” For example, he says, while an athlete in the class does a clean and jerk with 135 pounds, a 55-year old grandmother will do the same thing, but with a 22-pound empty bar. The movements are the same, but the level is modified for the individual. For best results, LaBar recommends three days on, one day off.

There also is a level of competitiveness to the routines, because they are timed, to see who can do it faster, which allows people to push beyond what they thought they were capable of and get better results. (561-702-4844, crossfitboyntonbeach.com)

Circus Fun

day long, but change daily, so the body doesn’t get used to the routine and the person doing it doesn’t get bored. LaBar says the variety is one reason people try CrossFit. “They are out of shape and can’t stick to a routine. Going to the gym gets boring.”

CrossFit focuses on strength and endurance with limited equipment (barbells and boxes) and some gymnastics moves (pull-ups and ring dips).

If you think you’re not fit enough to handle CrossFit, LaBar says it is used by everyone from college athletes to average people, and each class includes students at all fitness levels. “Scalability is the key,” 56

Childhood dreams of running away and joining the circus can come true with Trapeze-Experience, founded by professional trapeze artist Peter Gold. With setups in the Hamptons and Rhinebeck, New York, the experience put down stakes earlier this year on Flagler Drive, to teach beginners and intermediates alike the thrill of flying.

Classes are an intensive two hours long that end with students participating in a mid-air catch with one of the trainers. “It blows them away,” Gold says of the moment someone “flies” for the first time.

“It’s empowering, and breaks through the self pressure and limits people have, thinking, ‘Oh I’m not strong enough’ or, ‘I can’t do it.’”

Trapeze is a full-body workout, focusing mostly on abs and shoulders. “You can start out not being in great shape,” Gold says. “But as you move up, you need more and more of a body connection—strength and conditioning, mental and emotional.”

Gold, who has more than 20 years of trapeze experience, says it’s also a great activity for families to experience together.

“It is the safest extreme sport there is, period,” he says. All participants are harnessed with belts, and there is a net below, and, of course, experienced coaches ready to teach you to fly. Trapeze-Experience will

Take a Tumble The Summer Olympics are happening right now, and traditionally, one of the most popular sports in the games is gymnastics. While your dreams of Olympic tumbling glory may be behind you, you don’t have to abandon the desire to do back flips. The Gymnastics Revolution offers an open class for adults on Wednesday nights from 8:30-9:30. Anyone is welcome, from the total beginner who is looking for a different way to stay in shape to collegiate and professional-level gymnasts. Owner Mariellen Wagner says the instructors like to teach the adult class because it’s such a mix of skills.

“Gymnastics is the base of all sports,” she says. “The skills learned transfer into any other sport—balance, coordination, strength.” Gymnastics is a total body workout, strengthening the core and all muscle groups. “Gymnasts are the strongest athletes,” she says.

Classes start with a lot of stretching, and then, depending on fitness level, students are taught forward and backward

rolls, bridges, handstands and back flips.

Some students also get on the apparatus, like the rings and trampoline. To check out a single class, it’s $20, and a block of five classes is $80. West Palm Beach (561-848-4577, thegymnasticsrevolution.com)

For the Ladies Women have different body types than men, so why would they work out the same?

Figurella is a unique fitness program designed especially for women. Developed in Sweden, it’s offered at more than 500 centers worldwide, with only one center in the United States—at PGA Commons in Palm Beach Gardens.

The concept of the program is to lose inches and then maintain a slim figure, rather than bulk up with muscle.

For the workout, clients crawl into a large cave-like structure called the Bubble, which has a mat floor. Vents keep the inside of the Bubble at 98 degrees, which Figurella claims is the temperature needed for the body to work at its best. Clients keep their heads outside the Bubble and lie down as a personal trainer instructs them in using their hands or feet to pull twopound pulleys attached to the mat. The movements are slow and repetitive, and

weight is never added, keeping it a lowimpact workout. Clients spend 30 minutes in the Bubble, which is equivalent to one hour in the gym.

After the workout and a shower, clients sit for 15 minutes in the SpaShell, an enclosed oxygenating steam bath that opens pores and detoxes the body.

Clients also are put on one of Figurella’s five nutritional programs. Women are weighed before and after each session and often immediately lose ounces in fluids because there’s no drinking water during a session. Body measurements are taken every four sessions, and women can lose roughly eight inches after 20 visits.

Figurella recommends clients come in at least three times a week until they reach their goal weight, at which point they can reduce their number of weekly visits to maintain their figure. (561-799-3600, figurellausa.com) u palmbeachillustrated.com | july/august 2012 57

Net Gains Diet and exercise go high-tech with these online helpers.

The Runmeter and Cyclemeter apps can track your speed, distance, time traveled and route using your iPhone’s GPS.

By Liza Grant Smith

One of the nicest surprises in life is when people or things exceed our expectations. Take the modern vices of Facebook, Twitter and iPhone apps, for instance. Our relationship with them is like dating the popular guy in college. Sure, he knows everyone and is fun to be around, but he can be a bit mindless at times and his addictive personality makes us borderline obsessive. It’s not a perfect scenario, but we are content with the diversion provided from our otherwise stressful and occasionally lackluster life.

However, what if we found out there was depth behind his seemingly superficial persona? Suppose this relationship could actually enrich our lives instead of merely filling us with vapid information and useless skills (Angry Birds, anyone?). It seems unlikely, but it is what many are starting to discover. By harnessing the innate strengths of Facebook, Twitter and apps and combining them with the proven keys to meeting diet and fitness goals, we are able to achieve some impressive net gains.

Thanks in large part to Afterschool Specials, peer pressure has gotten a bad rap. As it turns out, positive peer pressure can be an incredibly motivating factor in the fitness realm. Back in the old days, that meant finding an exercise or diet partner. These days, it means finding hundreds of them. With Facebook and Twitter, we have the ability to get our friends involved. Their real-time support will have us lacing up our running shoes and putting down the Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey. No more slacking between gym visits or slip-ups between weigh-ins.

Capitalizing on the wealth of available fitness apps is another option. In addition to tracking speed, distance, time traveled and route using your iPhone’s GPS, Runmeter can share information with select friends before, during and after your run. Unlike its competitors, Runmeter (as well as sister apps

Walkmeter and Cyclemeter) also uses text-tospeech software so you can hear mid-workout shout-outs posted on your Facebook wall and from incoming Twitter feeds.

If it turns out that your friends are more couch potatoes than couch jumpers, feel free to make new ones. There are Facebook fitness and diet groups to meet every goal (from losing the muffin top to training for a 5K) and preferred method of exercise. Or stalk your inspiration from the privacy of your iPhone.

Choose a fitness or diet guru who speaks to you and follow them on Facebook or Twitter for advice and insight.

In terms of dieting, keeping a food journal has long been a recommended strategy. However, its effectiveness is somewhat limited if you’re the only one reading it. Frankly, I’m used to disappointing myself. Posting it for others to see ramps up the accountability as well as the shame factor associated with cheating. (There goes that positive peer pressure again.) palmbeachillustrated.com | july/august 2012 59

Tweet What You Eat can help you keep track of both good and bad food choices.

Nexercise (above and left) offers the opportunity for fitness competitions; track your route with Runmeter.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Consider Tweet What You Eat (TWYE), a free Twitter-based online food diary. Users (more than 30,000 of them), use TWYE to count and post their daily calorie consumption.

You can even create a “Do Not Eat” list of foods you want to avoid and TWYE will keep track of the number of times you’ve eaten each food.

Posting your diet or fitness goals on Facebook taps into the same accountability incentives.

Once it’s out there for all to see, you’ll be more likely to make strides towards its achievement.

If it’s true that everything we really needed to know we learned in kindergarten, then perhaps it’s wise for some to revert back to the basic reward and punishment system. Forget corporal punishment; GymPact hits (or helps) you where it really matters—the wallet. Users set up a weekly workout schedule and put cash on the line before using a check-in app every time they hit the gym. (Don’t think you can cheat the system. You need to stay at the gym for at least 30 minutes for it to count.) At the end of the week, if you don’t meet your weekly goal, your cash is distributed to users who did.

The more days you commit to, the bigger return on the weekly payout if you’re successful.

For those underwhelmed by the monotony of eating healthy and staying fit, the caloriecounting and diet-tracking app SlimKicker has turned the process into a winnable level-up game with small victories. After entering your overall goals (weight loss or improved health)

and personal stats, the app will provide you with a diet summary and recommended nutrition goals. You then begin earning points and badges based on what you eat (whole foods are worth more than processed ones) and what you do for exercise as you work towards personally set rewards (a spa treatment, a cheat meal, etc.). You also can sign up for one of the seven- to 30-day diet and fitness challenges at a variety of difficulty levels (“Resist Baked Goods,” “Move During Commercials”), which are used to encourage positive long-term habits as well as earn you more points.

Nexercise, a fitness app, employs a similar gamified approach with points and medals but takes it to the next level by offering swag and the opportunity for a little friendly competition.

Users begin by telling Nexercise what activity they’re about to start (anything from aerobics to yard work) and then, with their phone somewhere on their body, go ahead and do it. When finished, they hit a button and the app verifies that the activity has taken place through the motion of the device. Points earned go towards winning prizes from $5 coupons for items like energy bars to $250 gift cards. The app also has a built-in social component that allows users to challenge friends and compete for bragging rights.

Perhaps we underestimated our relationship with social media. Maybe it is a bit more altruistic than our original superficial expectations.

Unfortunately, this new information, while refreshing in some lights, will likely only serve to fuel our addiction and time commitment. If it’s any solace, at least now it’s time suckage under the guise of self-improvement. u

Scripp-ting Science

Left: Dr. Edward Large, associate professor of psychology, was the principle investigator in Florida Atlantic University’s study on how musical performances “charge up” the brain’s emotional and rewardrelated centers and how musical nuances affect the brain.

Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter has earned a global reputation for making important discoveries, and it continues to leave its mark in the research books. The past year, full of notable findings from Scripps, has been no exception.

The ability to form memories that last a few hours is lost because of age-related impairments in certain neurons.

Scripps discovered that stimulating those neurons could reverse the age-related memory defects, thereby improving intermediate-term memory impairment.

In another study, Scripps researchers created a pair of synthetic molecules that alter the biological clock of animal models. The research highlights the synthetic molecules’ potential ability to treat a range of disorders, including obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and serious sleep disorders.

Scripps scientists also spent time researching a specific gene that helps balance the body’s food intake and energy expenditure. They found that the gene’s actions outside the brain are just as important as those inside the brain, a finding that could help develop metabolic drugs that don’t have major side effects. (561-228-2000, scripps.edu/florida)

Music to our brains It turns out that having a song stuck in your head might affect you more than you realize.

activity is even more increased in the brains of those who are musically inclined.

The study also found neural activity in parts of the brain that are thought to be responsible for following the beat of the music and in the mirror-neuron system— where the brain understands and imitates actions. The mirror-neuron system is particularly charged when watching someone perform an action you can do.

Get better with age We all have those same-age friends who somehow look 10 years younger than we do. Instead of growing old with envy, find out just how well you’re aging.

A new blood test at Sanctuary Medical Center in Boca Raton examines the size of a part of the chromosome called the telomere, which studies have shown is the best indicator of how well people age and how susceptible a person is to disease: Shorter telomeres have been associated with higher risks of cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia or Parkinson’s.

Telomeres protect chromosomes during cell division, similar to how the plastic cap at the end of a shoelace prevents the lace from unraveling. They shorten over time because of genetics and lifestyle habits such as smoking, obesity, stress, diet, exercise and sleep. But the rate at which they erode—and, subsequently, how we age—can be slowed by making improved lifestyle changes based on the test results. (561-493-8314, smacboca.com)

WORK IN PROGRESS

Group Science Area researchers are coming together in the name of science.

Florida Atlantic University, Scripps Research Institute and the Max Planck Florida Institute have established a neuroscience consortium that will examine the relationship between brain dysfunction and oxidative stress. The latter, which is cell damage resulting from chemicals and free radicals or oxidants, is a significant cause of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and epilepsy.

Based on research, the scientists aim to develop treatments and therapies to repair the brain after disease or injury.

Some of the most important research findings have yet to be discovered, and South Florida scientists are working to uncover them.

Jupiter Medical Center has partnered with the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project to examine the effectiveness of the drug rosuvastatin, also known as Crestor, in preventing the occurrence of polyps in the colon or rectum and guarding against colon cancer. In a separate study, the center is researching the relationship between female breast cancer and vitamin D, which has been shown to decrease the risk of breast cancer in women.

At Florida Atlantic University, biomedical science professor Dr. Marc Kantorow received a $1.3-million grant from the National Institute of Health to continue his research on how particular genetic mutations can cause vision problems such as cataracts.

Also, an interdisciplinary research team from FAU is interviewing various ethnic groups in South Florida to find out, for example, how aging differs between cultures, how people can live better and longer, and what health care professionals can do to enhance the quality of aging.

Technology to the Max Scientists at the Max Planck Florida Institute are changing the landscape of the Dr. Marcel Oberlaender, the lead scientist on the threedimensional brain circuit

research field with their technological contributions.

While examining synapses, Dr. Samuel Young realized the technology he was using was too limited for his research. So, he partnered with Dr. Monica Montesinos and graduate student Zuxin Chen to create the pUNISHER, a technology that helps researchers uncover more about the basic molecular mechanisms of how neurons operate. They hope the technology will eventually lead to the development of treatments for neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease.

Young’s inventions don’t end there. Recently, he received a grant from the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to develop a technology that will help research potential treatments that target LRRK2, a Parkinson’s-related gene.

Salt rooms cultivate salt from the Dead Sea.

Another group of Max Planck researchers is paving the way for the development of a complete computer model of the brain. A team led by Dr. Marcel Oberlaender has created a three-dimensional diagram of a rodent brain’s thalamocortical column, the building block of the cortex. The technology may help scientists better understand how the brain computes and how it is affected by particular disorders. (561-972-9000, maxplanckflorida.org)

Sink into a lounge chair, close your eyes and inhale the salt air.

It’s a familiar South Florida outdoor experience with one major difference: You’re indoors.

Salt rooms are lounge spaces filled with pounds of imported sea salt piled on the floor, covering the walls and filtered into the air through a generator. This is halotherapy, an alternative therapy that relies on exposure to sea salt to decongest sinus cavities, open bronchial tubes and even alleviate skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema and acne.

Why enter a salt room when we have the Atlantic? The rooms’ salt particles, imported from the Dead Sea and the Bahamas, are drier and much smaller—able to get deep into the lungs and penetrate the inflammatory system in a way our wet ocean air can’t.

It’s the reason thousands of people flock to the Dead Sea every year for its healing powers, which we can now harness much closer to home.

In Palm Beach County, two salt rooms opened this winter: The Salt Suite in Delray Beach and Breathe Salt and Yoga in Jupiter. Both offer 45-minute sessions in a salt room outfitted with lounge furniture, soothing music and reading materials. The Salt Suite also hosts a yoga class in a room with a salt wall, and both locations provide separate salt therapy sessions for children.

“It’s like being at the beach for them,” says Elliott Helmer, who owns The Salt Suite with his wife, Jessica. “They play with the salt on the floor and dig in it and play with their toys.”

For years, families with children in Palm Beach County who needed specialized pediatric care had to drive hours to receive treatments in Miami or Orlando, the nearest Barbara and Jack Nicklaus cities with facilities that could provide the expertise.

The road to recovery for these children became much shorter in 2010, when the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation partnered with Miami Children’s Hospital to open the Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Care Center in Loxahatchee. The center brought to the county such pediatric specialists as a reconstructive surgeon, an allergist and an orthopedic surgeon—and, with them, plenty of patients. By 2011, the number of children receiving services had increased fivefold, says Dr. M. Narendra Kini, president and CEO of Miami Children’s Hospital.

Responding to the needs of the community, the nonprofits have united again to build the Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Outpatient Center in Palm Beach Gardens, which will open this summer. Located in the Legacy Place shopping plaza, the 21,500-square-foot facility will offer nine pediatric subspecialties, including rehabilitation services; diagnostic services; urgent care; occupational, physical and speech-language therapies; and imaging services, such as X-rays and an MRI unit.

“There is no lack of equipment or capability,” Kini says.

The Palm Beach Gardens, Loxahatchee and Miami facilities also use electronic records, rather than paperwork, so information flows easily between them. And as a special treat, every child who visits the outpatient center receives a stuffed bear.

Underlying Cravings A piece of chocolate cake or a handful of potato chips can tempt nearly anyone. But if you can’t stop at just one piece or the bag of chips quickly ends up empty, the food likely isn’t the problem.

“I really believe when we have food cravings, it is a doorbell. Your body, emotions, mind and spirit say, ‘Pay attention,’” says Sophie Skover, a West Palm Beach life coach and an inspirational speaker.

Skover, a self-described “food craving coach,” is author of The Continuous Appetite, a self-help book that raises awareness of deeper internal issues that materialize as food cravings. For instance, a yearning for something sweet indicates a need to relax and a

YUMMY TUMMY

desire to feel nurtured, she says.

In today’s fast-paced world, it can be difficult for parents to ensure their children eat one or two well-balanced meals a day—especially when kids are left to themselves to buy lunch at school, where unhealthy food options can tempt little mouths.

“No matter how good of choices you want your children to make, at 7 years old, if [a child] had a choice of broccoli or ice cream, 95 percent are going to choose ice cream,” says John Barry, a Royal Palm Beach parent of two elementary schoolers.

To bring a healthier option to the lunch table, Barry and his wife, Cheryl, launched the Palm Beach County franchise of Wholesome Tummies, an independent school lunch provider that serves only all-natural, organic lunches. The company offers 150 meals, created by a nutritionist, that are all free of artificial ingredients and catered to young taste buds—so kids don’t realize the meatball sub is made with organic turkey, the pizza sauce has pureed carrots and vegetables are snuck into the chocolate chip cookies.

“We’re not changing what children are eating but the quality of the food,” John says.

Wholesome Tummies partners with schools by either setting up its WT Café in the cafeteria and preparing meals onsite or, more commonly, letting parents order lunch online and delivering it directly to their child. Either way, lunch is made fresh daily by trained chefs.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

The first half of the book focuses on facing personal inner issues. It guides readers through, for instance, knowing the difference between a craving and hunger, transforming their thinking, realizing the power of affirmations and controlling their appetites when faced with events, holidays and vacations. It’s written in a conversational tone (one chapter is called “How the Heck Do I Only Eat Half?”), and every chapter ends with a personal assignment called an “inner query exercise.”

The Continuous Appetite isn’t a weight-loss book but a “before-the-weight-loss book,” Skover says. There are no fitness or nutritional tips but rather a collection of mental tools to help dig to the bottom of eating issues.

The advice and lessons in the book are based on Skover’s professional and personal experiences from the past 10 years. She had experienced depression and became overweight, then suffered from bulimia before seeking professional help, which inspired her to earn a degree in psychology and become a life coach.

Now 75 pounds lighter, healthy and running 15 miles a week, Skover is living proof of her book’s message: Get in touch with inner issues to experience freedom from food. “If you struggle with food, overeating or undereating, it can be an opportunity to get to know parts of yourself that start screaming out at you,” she says. thecontinuousappetite.com u

New Territory For a less ordinary travel experience, head for wine regions off the beaten path. By Mark Spivak

Planning on visiting wine country during the next three or four months? If you’re tired of Tuscany and bored with Napa, we offer some stops to consider on the road less traveled.

GREECE: Despite an assortment of internal economic problems, Greece is still a lovely place to visit, particularly out in the countryside. The best news of all is that Greek wine has gone through a transformation in recent years, with some producers that now rank with the world’s best.

Macedonia is one of the country’s oldest wine regions, featuring full-bodied reds made from the Xinomavro grape; among the many worthy stops are two properties run by Bordeaux-trained enologists, Alpha Estate (in remote Amyndeon) and Domaine Gerovassiliou (outside 78

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Thessaloniki). The Peloponnese region is home to two of Greece’s best wineries, Domaine Skouras and Gaia. Visitors who make the trek to the island of Santorini can sample cutting-edge whites from Domaine Sigalas and Hatzidakis Winery.

PORTUGAL: Long known for port wine and Vinho Verde, Portugal has come into its own as a wine producer over the past decade. The people are friendly, the seafood-based diet is healthy, and travel within the country is a bargain.

The Alentejo region, located in the south of the country, is frequently cited as an area where outside investment and technology have revolutionized winemaking. Notable estates include Quinta do Carmo, which is the center of winemaking and production of the Alentejan Bacalhôa

The Alpha Estate in Amyndeon, Greece

Group. The wines of the Dão also have been transformed, with producers such as Quinta do Perdigão and Flor das Maias leading the way. In the Douro, the home of port wine, dry reds such as those from Quinta do Crasto and Quinta do Vale Meão have set a new standard. And speaking

of treks, the Madeira Islands—located 600 miles southwest of Lisbon, in the Atlantic—are home to some of the world’s greatest dessert wines.

ENGLAND: No, it’s not a misprint. The southern part of England has been one of the main beneficiaries of climate change.

Always a source for high-quality sparkling wine, this area has become known lately for red wines as the world has grown warmer.

Probably the best known winery is Denbies Wine Estate, in the Surrey Hills, long known for sparkling wine, but now equally famous for both whites and reds.

Nyetimber, a relative newcomer, located in West Sussex, has led the sparkling wine field since its founding in 1988. Curious Grape is the brand name of New Wave Wines, in Kent, which is the largest (and many believe the best) winery in the United Kingdom.

EASTERN EUROPE: Croatia may or

may not have been home to Zinfandel, but famed California winemaker Miljenko “Mike” Grgich surprised the world some years back when he returned to his native country and established a winery on the Peljesac peninsula. He has played a key role in helping Croatian wineries make the transition from local to global enterprises.

The quality of Romanian wine has been improving steadily thanks to the efforts of the Vinarte Group, along with estates such as Domeniul Coroanei Segarcea and Halewood (founded by John Halewood, an expatriate Englishman in 1978). Hungary is a sweet wine lover’s paradise due to the production of Tokaji. In addition, the reds are vastly improved from the days when Egri Bikavér, or Bull’s Blood, was the quaff of choice; the top regions for full-bodied, spicy reds are Villany and Szekszárd, and it’s possible to tour the wine routes in both areas. u

Belle of the Ball Belle & Maxwell’s serves up café classics in a wonderfully nostalgic atmosphere.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Where are the tea rooms and fern-filled cafés of yesteryear? Many of them have morphed into chain eateries or trendy restaurants, and the solid, comfortable fare of that era has given way to fusion cuisine, designer tacos and Mongolian barbecue.

A visit to Belle & Maxwell’s in West Palm Beach is far more than a trip down Memory Lane. Located on Dixie Highway in Antique Row, the restaurant has become many things to a variety of customers in its short life span—a place to stop, snack and recharge batteries; the venue for a light and healthy lunch; the setting for a dinner that is charming and satisfying.

The decor is straight out of the 1970s, the kind of place with which your grandmother or maiden aunt would instantly identify. A profusion of potted plants frames the cement floor, glass-topped tables and wrought iron chairs. The kitchen is open, but the cooks don’t call attention to themselves—in an old-fashioned way, the customers are the stars here.

Owner Michelle Taylor purchased the property nine years ago, when it was still a tea room, and expanded the location into a full-fledged restaurant in 2010.

Begin with a flatbread, perfectly cooked on a fluffy and firm crust. One selection ($12) features spinach,

creamy goat cheese and a mix of roasted garlic and caramelized onion. Two homemade soups are standard items on the menu, and the lentil ($4) is richly seasoned and intense for an offering that is completely vegetarian. During the day, the kitchen offers a selection of main course salads, and half portions of those salads are available as starters in the evening. An assortment of diced red and yellow beets is strewn over arugula and garnished with more of that wonderful chevre, while a combination of walnuts, Gorgonzola and fresh sliced pear is artfully arranged on a bed of field greens (both $6).

Petit filet mignon ($23), a six-ounce cut, is tender, flavorful and seared by the grill, served with garlic smashed potatoes and a medley of fresh vegetables, and bathed in a piquant au poivre sauce. There’s always a seafood special of the day, and on a recent evening we were fortunate to find cobia ($24)—remarkably tender and juicy, served in a sauce of garlic butter and accompanied by grilled asparagus.

Desserts are almost worth skipping a meal for, or at least doing some extra exercise. The roll call of favorites includes blueberry pie, Key lime pound cake and chocolate croissant bread pudding.

A daily special of a chocolate walnut brownie ($6), garnished with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauces, is enough by itself to make us want to return.

The wine list is short and serviceable, consisting of two dozen selections. Bollini Pinot Grigio ($32) provides enough body and acidity to stand up to a range of dishes, and there is also a list of craft beers.

Belle & Maxwell’s is a find. You may enter with a passion for nostalgia, but you’ll leave realizing the power of fresh ingredients, precise execution and comfortable surroundings. u

Max’s Harvest’s “The Burger”

IT’S BURGER TIME Recently, the editors of palmbeachillustrated.com wanted to see who made the best Florida-fresh burger, so they called on a handful of the hippest eateries from Boca Raton to Tequesta in search of the perfect bite. The rules were simple: At least one ingredient had to be made or grown in Florida, and the rest were up to the chef. What came from the kitchens of Imoto, Max’s Harvest, Kapow! Noodle Bar, Grease Burger Bar and Hog Snappers Shack & Sushi was nothing short of excellent.

But alas, the people demand a winner, so without further ado, palmbeachillustrated.com’s Build a Better Burger Challenge Critic’s Pick goes to—let’s hear the drum roll—Max’s Harvest, Delray Beach’s farm-to-fork champions. This really came down to a three-way race, with Imoto’s take on the Vietnamese Bánh mi and Kapow!

Noodle Bar’s Korean sliders giving close competition, but in the end, “The Burger” from Chris Miracolo, executive chef at Max’s Harvest, was the clear favorite. In terms of Florida ingredients, it is easier to ask what was not sourced here (aside from the beef and cheese, everything was either local or close-at-hand). The proprietary grind prepared in-house made the perfect patty, while the toppers were so fresh it was like eating at the farm. The coup de grâce was the house-smoked bacon (as thick as a porterhouse) and the truffle tremor, a nice creamy touch that was really brought to life by the fried egg crown. Don’t even try to go at this burger with hands alone; this is a knife and forker from start to finish. And the hand-cut A Feast for the Gods fries, though they take a back seat to the meat, were some of the best we have ever tried.

The Greek word estia, meaning For a complete look at our Build a Better Burger Challenge, see palmbeachillustrated. “the gathering place,” derives from com/buildabetterburgerchallenge. Visit the participating restaurants to try the burgers for Hestia, goddess of the hearth. Today, yourself, and let us know if we chose the right one. she dwells at Estia Greek Taverna and Bar in Boca Raton. Everything here is authentically Greek, most importantly Chef Silvestros Sotiriadis, who creates artisan Mediterranean dishes that are flavorful and fresh.

For appetizers, mussels are sautéed with garlic in an ouzo sauce that has bold flavors of tomato and feta.

Chargrilled octopus is spiced with ladolemono— Greek olive oil and lemon.

For entrées, the lamb shank, bathed in tomato sauce and served with orzo, is tender enough to cut with a spoon. Pastitsio, a Greek pasta with ground beef and béchamel sauce, similar to a shepherd’s pie, was a new taste for us and one we’d order again without hesitation.

For dessert, try the bougatsa, a flaky, oven-baked phyllo dough filled with warm custard cream, or the baklava, pocketed with walnuts and brimming with honey. (561-2458885, estiagreektaverna.com)

Imoto’s Bánh Mi Burger

Stand-Out Steaks Steak houses here in Palm Beach County are as frequent as “authentic” Italian restaurants, so if a new one is opening, it has to be great to stand out. Enter Red, the Steakhouse. The Boca Raton location is the third for Brad Friedlander’s Red Restaurant Group, with one in Cleveland and the other in Miami Beach.

The restaurant is relatively small, with only 100 seats, but you don’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor.

For starters, the baby arugula with prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano salad is bright with flavor. The lemon pepper vinaigrette is the perfect match for the bite of the arugula. The Red “house” salad is delightful, with baby greens topped with candied walnuts, Westfield Farms goat cheese and a raspberry vinaigrette.

Where this restaurant really shines is the

Grease Burger Bar’s Ron Burgundy Burger

Hog Snappers Shack & Sushi’s Caribbean Burger

Certified Angus Beef Prime steaks. The petit filet, as an example, is cooked perfectly and is meltingly tender and flavorful. Red offers a variety of sides; try the creamed corn, shucked from the cob, and slightly puréed with a touch of butter and cream.

For dessert, don’t miss the homemade donuts with a trio of dipping sauces—the perfect excuse to indulge.

Everything in the restaurant is prepared from scratch, and the kitchen is under the direction of Chef de Cuisine Jarod Higgins.

habitat

rooms v Secret Garden The owners of this 1920s Mediterranean-style house wanted a garden retreat, so the entire perimeter was surrounded with ficus hedges and Australian pine to create the feeling of an oasis. The pergola above was planted with fuchsia-colored bougainvillea to provide shade, and orchids were hung from all the surrounding trees. The ultimate goal was to create a garden that was both inviting and visually stimulating. The faux-bois table and chairs (actually made of stone) blend in to the space perfectlyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a bit of old-world charm with a touch of whimsyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the lanterns add lovely ambiance in the evening.

habitat v elements Cook out Fire up the grill and prepare a summer feast with these handy essentials.

By Michelle M. Havich

Spice it up Good barbecue requires good flavor. Jupiter-made Rincón Heat was created by a chef to enhance the flavors of meats, not overpower them. With layers of sweetness and heat, along with fresh garlic, basil and lemongrass, this sauce is sure to be a hit. Plus, 1 percent of sales go to the Surfrider Foundation. It’s a mainstay at Guanabanas, and available around town or at rinconheat.com.

Tools of the Trade You can’t flip a burger without the proper tools. This stainless steel set ($115) from Williams-Sonoma features a basting brush, a fork, a slotted spatula and tongs, with stay-cool synthetic handles and a storage case. Monogramming also is available. williams-sonoma.com

Secret Sauce Whether you use store-bought sauce or create your own, no one has to know when you keep it in Le Creuset’s BBQ Jar ($25). The stoneware pot includes a basting brush to keep your meat tasty. bloomingdales.com

Gone Fishing Cooking a whole fish on the grill is cleaner, easier and tastier with the Ultimate Fish Basket ($25). The basket keeps the fish together, and allows for easier flipping and even cooking. Sur la Table, Palm Beach Gardens (561-799-3761, surlatable.com)

Time’s Up Play the host without overcooking the steaks with Brookstone’s Grill Alert talking remote thermometer ($70). It will tell you when your meat is done to order, even if you’re 300 feet away.

agenda culture v light the Lantern Mokuren, a disciple of Buddha, had a vision of his mother in gakid (“world of hungry ghosts”), where she suffered eternal hunger and thirst. To spare her from agony, Urabon Sutra, a Buddhist who worships ancestral spirits, instructed Mokuren to make offerings to monks at the temple. Once this task was complete, his mother would be freed. This ancient legend is the story behind Bon Festival, a worldwide Asian tradition of honoring the deceased with a lantern ceremony. Those who’ve lost loved ones guide lit lanterns in the water to free them to the other world. On August 18, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens will celebrate its thirty-fifth Bon Festival from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event typically draws more than 8,000 visitors, but the museum intends to limit admission this year to create a more tranquil and intimate ceremony. Tickets will be sold online only and must be purchased before the day of the event. Tickets are $15 for adults and $6 for children. (561-495-0233, morikami.org/bon) —Seth Cohen

The no-budget spoof film festival Swede Fest is coming to South Florida for the first time. Before you start looking up Swedish films, though, know that this has nothing to do with Sweden. The festival is made up of bad, yet laughable, three-minute remakes of hit Hollywood films such as The Hunger Games, The Notebook, Annie, Ghostbusters, Footloose, Harry Potter, I Am Legend, 21 and Clueless.

The term “swede” in this sense comes from the 2008 comedy Be Kind Rewind, which referred to the dreadfulness of remade movies as European and labeled them swedes.

That movie fueled a real-life underground “sweding” craze that spurred the first Swede Fest in Fresno, California, and the second in Tampa.

The third Swede Fest, which the Digital Domain Institute will cosponsor for the first time, will be held at the Borland Center for the Performing Arts on July 27 at 7 p.m. Film submissions, which are free and open to anyone, are accepted until July 13, and the Digital Domain Institute will present one film with an audiencefavorite award. Tickets for the event cost $5. (561-282-4623, swedefest palmbeach.com) —Seth Cohen Designed Mini Golf,” to October 7; “Glass Act: The Contemporary Studio Art Glass Movement turns 50,” to October 14.

agenda v calendar A New Mindset for Mencia After the Comedy Central series Mind of Mencia went off the air in 2008, host Carlos Mencia relaxed the ambitious attitude that had driven his comedy career for years.

He lost 70 pounds. He enjoyed being a dad to his infant son. He stopped setting specific career goals and just reveled in the fun of simply being an entertainer. He matured and evolved, he says, and he’s in a different, happier place.

“I’m an immigrant, and I never really felt like I belonged. I always felt like I had to prove something to everybody and myself,” says the Honduran-born comedian.

“I got to a place where I’m comfortable with who I am, and I don’t feel like I need to go prove anything. And I also don’t feel a distance that I used to feel.”

A large part of what shaped Mencia’s new outlook was his experience performing for the troops overseas, which he has done every year since 2007.

Seeing 10,000 military members of different races, religions and political affiliations wearing the same American uniform made him recognize the similarities between others in a big-picture way. It inspired him to shrug off hecklers, deliver jokes with a more positive spin and get audience members of all backgrounds to laugh at the same thing.

“What I try to do now is create that kind of atmosphere at comedy shows, where people are not only laughing and having fun but they also see that commonality and that connective tissue,” he says.

Mencia says he hasn’t changed his material. But his weight loss and new frame of mind have affected his act and generated enough buzz and questions from the public for him to name his current tour “C 4 Urself.”

“I don’t know the best way to say it,” he says. “You’ve got to see it.”

Mencia will perform at the Palm Beach Improv August 31 to September 2.

1 2 It was a polo-playing boyfriend who first brought Kim Seybert down to Palm Beach for visits in the ’80s, and now it’s her New York-based business that brings her back again and again.
