I’m not revealing any breaking news when it comes to discussing the strength of Louisville’s culinary scene. The richness of our food culture has been widely lauded many times over, and the legendary reputation is an enormous source of pride for our city. Just last year, the World Food Travel Association named Louisville the grand prize winner for “Best Destination Experience.” Earlier this month, Butchertown Grocery was voted as one of the best new restaurants in the nation by the readers of USA Today. Fine dining isn’t our only specialty. It’s no surprise that the state that is globally synonymous with fried chicken boasts the highest number of fast food restaurants per capita; and, because we must acknowledge the bad with the good, is also a contender for the highest obesity ranking per a recent Gallup report.

Naturally, much of our culinary success can be attributed to relationships with local and area farmers, the wildly popular local bourbon culture and the continually evolving spin on Southern fare. However, a great deal of what makes the Derby City so delightful and delicious is, quite simply, the diversity of dining options available. When considering the vast ethnic and international offerings in our city, one can experience the world by barely leaving their zip code.

If Louisville’s greatest chefs were diagrammed like a family tree, many would branch directly from the teachings of Agostino Gabriele who moved from Sicily to St. Louis in 1969 before settling in Louisville in 1986 to help his brother open the famed Vincenzo’s. Havana Rumba, was a dream brought to life by owner Marcos Lorenzo, who immigrated to the U.S. from Cuba in 2000. If you haven’t indulged in authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, you Tonya Abeln simply must give the hidden gem that is Saffron’s a try. While casual and small, Lee’s Korean Restaurant offers a largely memorable Korean BBQ experience. Funmi and Yomi Aderinokun moved to America after being randomly selected through a lottery system to obtain a visa. As a result of their relocation, we have the lovely Funmi’s Café with its Nigerian cuisine available to us right on Bardstown Road.

Many of these restaurant owners and chefs arrived to our country and, luckily, found their way to our city with only their ambition, unmatched work ethic and the American dream as their navigation. How dreadfully boring our epicurean landscape would be without them.

“The scallops are real buttery and the Mogul wine itself is very balanced, so combined, it’s just a harmony of flavors.” – Exectuve Chef Ming Pu

It’s not about me – it’s about our guests every single day.” – Executive Chef/Owner Bobby Benjamin “Both the porchetta and wine are great separate, but when you put them together it just makes the porchetta sing and it’s a perfect combination. The crispiness on the porchetta and then also the earthiness that comes with it, the wine brings it all out and it’s just happiness in your mouth.” – Beverage Director Nic Christensen

ROMESCO SAUCE

1 cup garlic cloves, peeled (for garlic confit) 2 cups olive oil (for garlic confit) 1 12-pound pork belly 3 tablespoons salt 3 tablespoons pepper 1/4 cup garlic confit, crushed (recipe follows) 1/2 cup fines herbes 1/4 cup Italian seasoning

To make garlic confit, heat oven to 275 degrees. Place garlic cloves in a deep pan. Cover with olive oil until about 2 inches above the garlic. Place in oven and bake for about three to four hours until cloves are medium brown. Strain oil and set aside.

5 red bell peppers 1 onion 4 shallots 1/4 cup garlic confit 1 bunch parsley 1 bunch cilantro 1/4 cup Marcona almonds 2 Calabrese peppers 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper 1 cup olive oil Salt to taste Black pepper to taste

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In small pan, add the red bell peppers, onion and shallots. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.

Heat oven or rotisserie to 270 degrees. Place the pork belly on a large cutting board and remove the ribs. Season with salt and pepper. Crush garlic confit with a fork. Rub on the inside of the pork belly flesh. Season pork belly with fines herbes and Italian seasoning and roll liberally. If using a rotisserie, tie the roast as a roll using a proper trussing method and skewer. If using an oven, place in a deep pan. Slowly roast for seven hours making sure to constantly control the heat to avoid over crisping.

Remove the pork belly and let it rest for an hour before slicing.

1606 Bardstown Road, 11400 Main Street louvino.com 502.365.1921, 502.742.1456 “This dish is a classic risotto, and I love mushrooms. The real inspiration was trying a white truffle pate that I knew would set off a risotto.” – Executive Chef Tavis Rockwell “The Santa Christina Le Maestrelle pairs quite well with our wild mushroom risotto. The risotto is rich, flavorful and earthy due to the wild mushroom blend and truffle pate. The Santa Christina has a great, pleasant fruity acidity that helps cut through the richness of the risotto. The wine also has some deeper earthy tones of its own that bridge the gap and round the pairing out. Pairing an Italian wine with Italian food also just feels so natural – that is probably why the Italians consider their wines to be food.” – General Manager Dan Serpi

Add mushrooms and cook until onion mixture is golden brown with mushrooms. Add rice and incorporate. Once incorporated, add wine and turn heat up to medium, stirring until the wine is evaporated. Meanwhile, warm broth in separate pan.

Add enough broth to cover the rice. Let it simmer while stirring, and add more broth every time the broth is almost completely absorbed by the rice. Once the rice is cooked and broth is not yet completely absorbed, remove from heat. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and butter. Keep stirring until a creamy consistency is reached. If needed, return pan to heat on stove briefly. Once creaminess is reached and right before serving, add oregano, thyme and truffle pate or oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle with Parmesan. Serve warm alongside your favorite protein.

“I like [this wine] because of the stringent acidity it has to it. It’s not overly fruity – you’ve got a little bit of fruit notes – but you get a lot of minerality of citrus zest, and I think it really awakens the palate and pairs well with that shellfish flavor profile.”

COPPER & KINGS AMERICAN BRANDY CO. CELEBRATES BARTENDER TOM BULLOCK DURING AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH Louisville-based Copper & Kings American Brandy Co. joins the rest of the U.S. in celebrating the achievements of African Americans through American history by illuminating the legacy of African American Louisville native and esteemed bartender Tom Bullock.

MACY’S DERBY FESTIVAL FASHION SHOW RETURNS TO THE RUNWAY IN MARCH Time to start planning what you’ll be wearing this spring to all the Derby Festival events. You’ll find the latest looks and hottest trends at the Macy’s Kentucky derby festival Spring Fashion Show on March 30. Tickets are on sale now. The event kicks off with cocktails and boutique shopping at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and runway show at 8 p.m. in the Showroom of Horseshoe Southern Indiana. Macy’s has been title sponsor since 2013.

The heritage of Tom Bullock is best represented through the 100th anniversary of the publication of his seminal book of original cocktail recipes, “The Ideal Bartender,” first published in 1917. The distillery will weave Mr. Bullock’s legacy throughout its activities during February and beyond.

This year’s fashion show will feature outfits and accessories from Macy’s, more than a dozen local boutiques and other retailers. Some of the Festival’s Official Products will also be featured and the Official 2017 Derby Festival merchandise will be on sale at the event. At the show, guests will also be treated to a red carpet photo opportunity by Macy’s. Christine Fellingham, creative consultant, returns with excitement to produce the runway show once again.

The signature event of the month-long celebration will be hosted at Copper & Kings on the evening of February 22 where historian Michael Jones will present a historical paper describing the life and legacy of Bullock. The seminar, which is free to the public, will be accompanied by classic Tom Bullock libations and delicious food prepared by local chef Lawrence Weeks.

Tickets can be purchased online at kdf.org or by calling 502.584.FEST. Reserved seating tickets are $750 for a table of 10 or $75 each. Tickets for the Lounge area (general admission seating in second floor lounge area) are $35.

Contributing sponsors include Guess?, Inc., Horseshoe Southern Indiana and J Michael’s Spa & Salon. Media Sponsors: The Voice-Tribune and 102.3 The Max.

The culmination of the evening will be the launch of The Ideal Bartender School. The initiative, developed and curated

by Copper & Kings, aims to provide a highly-credentialed bartender qualification for individuals with disadvantaged economic means.

“Tom Bullock illustrates the advantages and economic mobility that the craft of bartending brings to society,” said educator and course director Jennifer Desjardins. “The course is rigorous. The class size will be limited to a maximum of 20 people, and the selection process will be uncompromising.

We are looking for people who have great ambition, a very high work ethic and understand the discipline and personal qualities required to be successful in a demanding profession.”

DERBY FESTIVAL UNVEILS 2017 POSTER IMAGE A sign of spring! The Kentucky Derby Festival’s 2017 poster has rolled off the presses at Impressions Incorporated in Louisville. This year’s poster is designed by Louisville resident and self-taught artist, Ron Jasin. The image Jasin created for the Kentucky Derby Festival is a colorful montage of Louisville landmarks and Derby Festival events.

“This year’s poster creatively showcases icons that are both significant to the Festival and our community,” said Mike Berry, KDF president and CEO. “We believe Festival fans will also like how the image is used in the various pieces of our merchandise line this year.”

RESULTS OF 2017 HOMELESS STREET COUNT ANNOUNCED During the early morning hours of January 26, 300-350 volunteers divided into four-person teams to search known homeless locations all over the county to complete the 2017 Homeless Street Count. This was the most volunteers to ever participate in the count, which is coordinated by the Coalition for the Homeless and conducted each year in January to verify the number of people sleeping outdoors in Metro Louisville. This year, 156 individuals were counted.

The 2017 count number is up from last year’s total of 112, an increase that could be attributed to a variety of factors. One being the milder weather, which means more people were sleeping outside verses sleeping in a shelter. Additionally, there was an increase in volunteers who participated this year (up from 280 volunteers last year), which means they were able to cover more areas than in previous years.

It is important to note that whether or not this count reflects a true increase in the overall homeless population cannot be determined until the total point in time numbers are tallied. Those living in shelters are counted on the same night in order to create a total one night count of the homeless in Louisville. The full report reflecting the total homeless numbers on a single night and the 2016 Census will be released in the spring.

Kinziro Kenneth Aizawa Kinziro Kenneth Aizawa, 86, of Louisville, passed away surrounded by his family on Thursday, January 26, 2017 at Baptist Health.

Born in Tokyo, Japan, Kenny came to the U.S. in 1950. He graduated from St. Xavier High School, and obtained a BS, MS, and Ph.D from the University of Louisville. He was a chemist and briefly worked at Olin Mathieson before spending most of his career at DuPont Chemical. Kenny was a member of Epiphany Catholic Church. Friends knew him as the most kind and generous of people.

Mitchell Makes His Mark

fter a freshman season that had seen him play a limited role behind veteran guards like Damion Lee, Trey Lewis and Quentin Snider, Donovan Mitchell made his name known to every NBA scout in the world over the summer.

Mitchell’s name began to pop up less frequently on Google News. The main reason was that the outside shot Mitchell had worked so hard on improving during the offseason was misfiring at a rate that was even higher than the one Cardinal fans had seen the year before.

steals, and is shooting 46.2 percent from behind the three-point line on 7.2 attempts per game. The Cardinals have gone 6-2 over that stretch and have wins over Indiana and Duke. With Mitchell leading the offensive charge, UofL’s last three victories – over Pittsburgh, Clemson and North Carolina State – have come by an outrageous combined total of 112 points.

“Donovan Mitchell has been good, but we need him to be @cardchronicle great,” Rick Pitino said on 93.9 The Ville in December. “Everyone’s giving him the benefit of the doubt Mitchell received an invitation to the presbecause of the way he played at the Adidas tigious Adidas Nations, an event that brings camp over the summer, but he hasn’t given the world’s top high school and college basus one true great performance yet this year. ketball talent to Los Angeles for three days Not one.” of fierce competition.

The working by himself to improve an outside “now” was that he upped his scoring load shot that existed as the biggest roadblock on with Snider sidelined and helped Louishis path to the NBA. ville avoid a catastrophic stretch that could Sam Vecenie, who covers the NBA Draft tank its chances of being a high seed in for The Sporting News, went so far as to call the NCAA Tournament.

After scoring 29 points in Louisville’s 55-point blowout of Pittsburgh and 28 in its 25-point thrashing of NC State, Mitchell found himself named both the ACC and the NCAA’s Player of the Week. According to his head coach, the accolades are a direct result of him playing the position where he’s the most comfortable.

“The point guard is his natural position,” Pitino said. “He’s very good off pick and rolls, he sees the floor very well. You always look for a silver lining in any injury, and he’s got a chance to work at that, which I think will pay a huge dividend down the road.

Donovan’s really on a roll right now.”

Snider will return soon, and he will re-assume his role as the team’s primary ball-handler. Even so, Mitchell has proven himself capable of running the show, giving Louisville multiple point guards in its starting lineup. It’s a characteristic that Pitino loves to have on his teams, and one that can be found on 13 of the last 14 teams to win a national championship.

If Mitchell keeps it rolling, the Cardinals have as good a shot as anyone in the country to continue that trend on the first Monday of April. VT

hey just weren’t ready. It may sound crazy, but I could see it in the ridiculous, over-produced, Michael Buffer introduction of the starting lineup. There were no crazy handshakes or leaping side bumps. The players’ names were called and they solemnly ambled onto the court.

So Young the youngsters of 2011 and 2014 who caught fire and scared the hell out of everyone.

his energy, or maybe he just likes being able to say, “We start four freshmen.” But the kid was not there.

But only one team has gone all the way. We often think of it as “the Anthony Davis team,” but that squad had two sophomores Catnip and a senior among its six key players. The point guard, MarSTEVE quis Teague, did his job, but he KAUFMAN was nobody’s idea of a John Wall or Brandon Knight or Andrew Harrison or Tyler Ulis or De’Aaron Fox. He didn’t have to be.

Derek Willis was there. He was there infuriating Calipari with a key missed rebound, the failure to box out a couple of other times, the failure to take away Kansas’ straight-line drives. But he also provided some much-needed offense, grabbed six rebounds, blocked a couple of shots and generally hustled and asserted himself.

At the time, one might have hoped it was an intense readiness – get rid of all this nonsense and let’s start the game. In retrospect, maybe they were awed by the theatrics of their own home game.

The problem is, young Kentucky is not a great team right now.

It’s a collection of talented players – even some great players. But 21 games into the season, they’re playing with no cohesion, no apparent plan, no concentrated effort.

You could see it against Kansas. The game plan was to get it into Bam. And so they did, dutifully as their coach had ordered, time after time after time. And he was bodied, muscled, double-teamed and couldn’t get much done.

So then what? Plan B? There seemed to be no Plan B. John Calipari had said, “Don’t hold the ball! Drive it, pass it, shoot it – just don’t stand there holding it.” So when the get-itinto-Bam offense didn’t produce, there they were, standing on the perimeter, on their heels, looking around – holding the ball!

Kansas whipped it around the perimeter, the old weave – just like Phog Allen taught his Jayhawk players 75 years ago – side to side, in and out, until a driving lane opened up or a shooter was unguarded.

And then there was the casual ball-control. Lazy passes. Ill-advised passes. Alleyoop attempts that sailed out of bounds. In a game that was getting close, the Cats didn’t treasure their possessions.

Cal said “young team.” He’s been saying “young team” for eight years. And his young, talented teams have occasionally come together in the NCAA tourney. Two of his four Final Four teams were exactly that,

F E B R U A R Y 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

After the game, Calipari mentioned Kentucky’s difficulties with Kansas’ zone defense, especially with Isaiah Briscoe on the bench.

That dramatizes the problems with this team: that the absence of one player – and not one of the marquee, lottery-pick players – could cause such a breakdown.

That the sets of skills are so one-dimensional and the bench so weak that taking a man out of the game causes everything to fall apart.

And by the way, we’re talking about the one sophomore, what we call “upperclassman” or “veteran” these days. Doesn’t that say everything?

Willis won’t get drafted in the first round in June. Maybe that’s why Cal would rather bring Gabriel along. Maybe Cal feels Gabriel has a higher March upside than Willis does. But on a night when none of the spectacular freshmen were doing much, Willis kept UK in the game. What he does may be limited, but he did it. What Fox and Monk and Adebayo do is unlimited, but they weren’t doing it.

Chalk this up, perhaps, to the crankiness of losing such a big game – and at home, no less. But somebody who knows something better begin taking this team in hand, or March will truly go out like a lamb. VT

When a coach is actually right on the court directing his team’s offense down the stretch of a key game, you kind of know that team is lacking veteran leadership.

When players give up a layup, commit a foul, turn the ball over and then look immediately, instinctively, to their bench – to their coach – you kind of know that team is lacking veteran leadership.

Wenyan Gabriel didn’t show up.

I know Cal loves

Chris Redman Back at Home

On Sunday, the Patriots and the Falcons meet in Super Bowl LI in Houston, Texas. Former Male High School and UofL star quarterback Chris Redman spent time with both organizations during his professional career. Drafted 124 spots ahead of Tom Brady in 2000, Redman played his first four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. He was a rookie on the Ravens team that won Super Bowl XXXV. In 2005, he spent the offseason working out with the Patriots, and in 2007, he resurrected his pro career with the Falcons. Redman started the final four games of the 2007 season for Atlanta. In the 2008 draft, they selected Matt Ryan with the third overall pick. Among Redman’s many business ventures is Baptist Health Performance Training at 12101 Sycamore Station Place. He is partners with former Cards Deion Branch, Breno Giacomini and Eric Wood.

Is it strange having two teams that you spent some time with meeting in the Super Bowl?

Was there anything different about Bill Belichick?

Yeah, he’s very negative and it’s a hard thing too. Typically coaches will be negative one time and then will pick you up in different situations. I didn’t see that as much when I was Taylor’s 10 there in the offseason. He’s a hardnosed guy. He likes his veteran guys KENT What did you learn about Tom a lot, and so it was a different style of Brady in that time that you TAYLOR coaching that I wasn’t really used to.

WAVE3 Sports didn’t already know?

It’s hard to argue with his success and he’s done such a great job up there.

I knew he was obviously a really clutch guy on third down, moves well in the I’ve always thought that it’s not the coaches that pocket and all that, but I didn’t know really how make an organization – it’s the players, and he’s good he was with his protections. He’s been in had some great players around him. that offense for so long. He knows it like the back of his hand. That’s the key for a quarterback to have success, knowing how to protect yourself It looked like you were set to be the startand making sure that your backside is always ing quarterback in Atlanta and then they picked Matt Ryan, so what is your relataken care of. tionship like with him?

I played five years in Atlanta, and a lot of people don’t know I had a short stint in New England. It was a spectacular place.

A lot of people don’t like him because he wins so much. Was he a good teammate?

He was a great teammate. We were in the same group up in Indianapolis and I remember we were joking around with each other, when you have to pretty much strip naked and stand in line in front of all these people. We just hit it off great.

He’s such an easy-going guy. He’d take us places and go and do a lot of cool things, play golf, but he’s a competitor. We were competing pretty much every day whether it was throwing balls in the net or whatever. He’s just a great person and I enjoy being around him and seeing him at the Derby every year now, so it’s pretty cool.

Did you remind him that you were picked ahead of him?

No, I never brought it up, but he reminded me.

That really helped him I think, more than anything, pushed him, because he felt like anybody does, that you should go a little bit higher, a little better. That really drove him to be a better player and I think he wouldn’t change that at all. He landed in a great spot, with a great organization and it all just kind of fell into place for him.

F E B R U A R Y 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Well, I knew when you pick somebody third pick in the draft that this guy is going to come in and he’s going to play pretty quick. You can either battle or you can make the best of it. I chose to make it a really good environment for him and to be a mentor style of quarterback.

Playing with him, I knew that this kid was going to be really, really good. The more I saw him off the field and the small things, similar to Tom Brady, to make him such a successful quarterback, that’s when I was like, “You know what, let’s make the best out of this. This guy is going to be really good.” You are there for the same goal, to win a Super Bowl, and we really worked together. When I was in there he was pulling for me like crazy, and when he was in there, I was doing the same. We became really close friends.

How much of a relationship have you maintained with him?

He got me tickets to the NFC Championship game. He is such a good person and very humble and never forgets where he came from. He’s still pretty cheap, even though he makes millions.

That’s just the way Matt is, but he’s just a great person, how he treats his teammates, family and all the people that come up to ask him for autographs. I’m just so happy for his success and I really think he’s got a chance to put a ring on his finger real soon.

Chris Redman

If Matt asked you for some advice about dealing with Super Bowl week and all the hype, what would you tell him?

It was my rookie year when we went to the Super Bowl in Baltimore and I remember there is a lot going on. You just have to stick with your schedule. He’s a very schedule-oriented guy. You want to make sure that you’re doing everything you’ve been doing, not anything more, but everything you’ve been doing in the previous weeks to build up to this game and just try to have fun with it. You never know how many opportunities you’re going to have. I had it my rookie year and that was the only time I was ever there, so just take advantage of it.

How did you get involved with Baptist Health Performance Training?

It’s the best facility in town. You can be an athlete, you can not be an athlete and come out here. Myself and Eric Wood, Breno Giocomini and Deion Branch, we’re all a part of this and it’s been a real fun experience to hopefully grow something that’s never been here. I would have loved to, in high school or in middle school, have someone to come to prepare me for the next level. Eric has me back out here working out and I’m trying to get back in shape. You kind of have that locker room feel when you come here, and that’s one thing that you definitely miss when you leave the football field. VT

Mid-afternoon, those of us that are full world-cruisers were treated to a special event. We boarded buses and headed to Iolani Palace, the only official residence of royalty in the U.S. Iolani Palace was the formal residence of the Hawaiian Kingdom’s last two monarchs: King Katakaua, who built the Palace in 1882, and his sister and successor, Queen Liliuokalani.

During the monarchy period, the Palace was the center of social and political activity in the Kingdom of Hawaii.

It is open to the public most of the time.

It is both grand and charming, a city block surrounded by trees and gardens.

After a tour of the palace, we moved onto the lawn for a cocktail party of mai tais, wonderful hors d’oeuvres and entertainment. A band played typical and familiar Hawaiian music and then a dance troupe performed not only the anticipated hula dances but other dances that are part of the Hawaiian culture.

Military Honor Guard marching in to entertain the Navigator guests.

Welcoming children dancing in front of Iolani Palace.

The food consisted of enormous shrimp on skewers covered with slivers of filo dough and fried to replicate coconut, teriyaki chicken, raw tuna in a spoon with a yummy sauce, pineapple cake bites and one-bite cheesecake in chocolate cups with a raspberry.

All of this led up to the presentation of a really exciting fashion show consisting of reconstructed dresses worn by women over the last 200 years. They were beautiful. Since the fashion in Hawaii during those years was for women of generous proportions to be viewed as the most beautiful and powerful, what we saw was probably not completely true to history since the models were all very tall and slender. This really flattered the clothing even if it didn’t exactly present an accurate historical picture.

Others in our group went to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Punchbowl Crater, a remnant of an extinct volcano. It is the resting place for more than 30,000 soldiers. And some visited the USS Arizona Memorial.

After dinner back on the ship, a local group came on board to entertain on the pool deck before we sailed off at midnight toward Maui. VT Carla Sue and friend Malcom Myers on The Explorer’s grand staircase.

SPOTLIGHT

Jewish Film Festival

The Louisville Jewish Film Festival strives to show the richness and diversity of the Jewish experience by presenting the best contemporary international films. We chatted with Jewish Film Festival Executive Director Marsha Bornstein to get all the details on this can’t-miss event!

What is the Jewish Film Festival?

The Louisville Jewish Film Festival is celebrating its 19th year of showcasing outstanding national and international films illuminating some aspect of the Jewish experience. It will be held four weeks in February at five different venues. A committee of 15 film buffs, chaired by Keiley Caster, reviews 30-40 films before they vote on the 12 films to be shown during the festival. When making their selections, the committee takes notice of award-winning films with some universal themes that would appeal to the non-Jewish community as well as the Jewish community. We believe the art and power of film is a way to increase tolerance and understanding, educate and entertain. A good film is thought-provoking and makes you want to learn more. It is our goal each year to see more diversity in the audience.

What can guests expect at the event?

Frequently, you can expect to see a film that you would not view in a commercial theater. You might see old friends or find yourself gathering with others after the film to discuss it. This year, there are three special events with receptions, where you can socialize while enjoying great food. The Israeli food scene is very popular now, since it is a fusion of many cultures. Accompanying the film “In Search of Israeli Cuisine” will be an array of modern Israeli foods by Izzy’s as well as wine, many of which are mentioned in the travel food guide. This is perfect for all those Food Network viewers! Other films will have moderators to lead discussion following the film. “Disturbing the Peace,” shown at the Speed Museum Cinema, depicts a group of former Israeli soldiers and Palestinian fighters who join together to challenge the status quo and say, “Enough.” There will be plenty of discussion about

F E B R U A R Y 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

the current situation, which will be ably led by Dr. Ranen Omer-Sherman, chair of the Department of Jewish Studies at UofL. Why is the event important for the Jewish Community of Louisville and the greater community?

Film is a perfect vehicle to promote understanding by learning about other people’s lives and problems. Compassion and empathy can be a byproduct of watching a film when you can relax, open your mind and engage your senses. In these difficult times, film is more important than ever. The tickets are reasonably priced, and it is easy to attend alone or with a group.

How has the event grown over the years?

When I started the job in 2005, we showed five films in five days in one location. Last year was our most successful year, presenting 11 films, four receptions, five venues, three sell-out events and 1,400 in attendance. We are delighted to have developed wonderful community partnerships. The only thing that has not grown (much) is our ticket prices. Although a typical rental fee for one showing of a film costs $1,000, we have only increased our advance ticket price for a regular film by $1 since 2005. We are seeing much more diversity in our audiences as people realize you don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy these films.

How do you hope the event changes in years to come?

It is our hope to continue to partner with local organizations, which helps promote our goal of increasing diversity in the audience. We need media exposure so people know about the festival and

put it on their calendar. We will continue to bring the very best films we review and hope to increase the size of our audiences and sponsors. We would like to be able to bring in more artists associated with the making of the film if the support is available. Last year, we were able to bring in the Israeli rock musician that starred in the film “Rock the Red Zone.”

Where can you purchase tickets? Is it too late to get tickets?

Online sales, descriptions of the films and the schedule are available at jewishlouisville.org/filmfestival. Tickets are also available one hour before the film at the venue, or can be bought by calling 502.238.2771. They are also available in the lobby of the J at 3600 Dutchmans Lane.

Parekh Bugbee: Louisville’s Fashion Link to the East

W

e all know what a great investment a well-made scarf can be. They can add a pop of color or change the vibe of even the most mundane ensemble. If you havFashion en’t already fallen in love with them, you’ll want to get familKRISTIE iar with Parekh Bugbee designs.

HICKS These scarves are the embodiment of art, history and style, all CRENSHAW wrapped up in a family business that’s made itself a second home right here in the Bluegrass.

With no less than a dozen steps in the creation process, Parekh Bugbee scarves embody true craftsmanship and a long-standing history of the East Indian culture, something that modern techniques simply cannot reproduce.

Payal Parekh Bugbee’s father, Bharat Parekh, built his factory some 45 years ago in Mumbai, India, from recycled goods and is eco-friendly to this day. Payal speaks of her father with tremendous love and respect, “My father built his business from scratch.

He wanted his daughters to learn and travel. He was very forward thinking. Education was important, not just marriage.”

It was her love of fashion that took her to New York to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). There, she developed a love of photography and began working in the fashion industry. She spent 10 years in New York and made a return to India in 2004 to immerse herself in the family-owned business.

It was upon her return that she developed a greater appreciation for her father and his passion for keeping the integrity of the craft alive, which shifted her perspective entirely. Textiles is now her sole focus.

It was on a business trip to Thailand that she met global health photographer Geoff Oliver Bugbee. They fell in love and were married six months later. She moved to Kentucky with her husband in 2012 and was immediately taken with the equine industry and the region’s love of horses. Bugbee’s skill behind the lens further cemented their connection and Parekh Bugbee was born.

Payal started doing trunk shows and pop-up boutiques to introduce Parekh Bugbee to the horse-lovers of Kentucky. It was while

COURTESY PHOTOS

doing a show at PYRO Gallery that she met noted visual artist Keith Auerbach, who had expressed an interest in textiles. They discovered a common love of the equine spirit. The East meets West collaboration resulted in the Silkhorse collection. After many calls and much persuading, they convinced a fifth-generation Indian artist to draw the legendary Manaki, a mystical and magical horse in the Indian culture that was the centerpiece of their fully funded Silkhorse Kickstarter campaign last November.

Now, more of these stunning creations can get in the hands of Louisville’s discerning fashionistas. Scarves, shawls, stoles and pocket squares in a vast array of tones and hues to suit every taste and whim are just a few clicks away. If you desire the touchy-feely experience before buying, drop in The Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft, the Speed Art Museum gift shop or Bella Rose boutique in Lexington.

What’s on the horizon? “For spring, we are changing and doing a series of paisley scarves and introducing our Fantasian series,” Payal says with excitement.

“Using oranges and reds, vibrant blues and roses…fire colors.” She continues, “By buying Parekh Bugbee wearable art, you will be supporting men and women from a rural Indian community that has remained loyal to their small scale production line for three generations. True skill and craftsmanship is at the core of this slow and deliberate process of handmade clothing. It is simply an art and craft that mass production cannot achieve. Our products are sweatshop-free and represent limited editions that help to support a vibrant community. It’s all part of the enjoyment of wearing them.” VT For the full selection of scarves, helpful videos on how to wear them and instructions on how to care for your silk treasures, visit parekhbugbee.com

Together, the professional team has an exceptional and distinct way of making everyone with whom they come in contact feel like part of the family. Personally, they would channel that experience to plan the most important event of their lives – their wedding day.

In addition to his passion for food, Josh is an avid rock and mineral collector. This led him to take special interest in the selection of Lindsay’s engagement ring. Josh looked to Hank and Ashley Davis of Davis Jewelers to find the perfect “rock,” looking closely at 10 diamonds before finding the one that would become her center stone. “Davis Jewelers

were rock stars for us throughout our process,” Lindsay shares. “They also designed custom earrings for the wedding day.”

Once the ring was chosen, Josh stowed it away in his gym bag for a vacation that included Lindsay’s entire family in South Carolina. Unaware that the bag contained a prized possession, Lindsay threw the bag out

on the patio one day just to get it out of the way. “I just thought it was a dirty old gym back,” she laughs. Naturally, Josh took noticeable concern of its whereabouts. He escorted her down to the beach and, on bended knee, asked her to marry him – “with my entire crew of 16 people watching from the balcony,” she recalls.

Josh and Lindsay knew they would host the wedding and reception at their home, Moore Farm, in Taylorsville, Kentucky, so renovations were a priority. “It was all hands on deck,” Lindsay describes. “I was laying sod 24 hours before the wedding. We had people painting the deck the day of the ceremony.”

Not everything can be planned for despite your best efforts, and the weather proved to pose a bit of a challenge with the most inconvenient timing. “As soon as I walked down the aisle, my dad hugged Josh and then the clouds opened up and it began to pour,” Lindsay shares. “I tried to ignore it for as long as I could and then about two minutes into the ceremony everyone was giggling about it and I just said, ‘Okay, let’s take this under cover.’” The generator had flooded so everyone stood under the tent laughing for about 15 minutes before they could continue. “It honestly led to a very relaxed atmosphere.” Lindsay credits Maggie Healy from Weekend Wedding Warrior for saving the day. “If it hadn’t been for her planning on the day of the wedding, I may have just told everyone to go home!”

Food is such a big part of the couple’s lifestyle (they grow and tend to their own vegetables on Moore Farm) so, of course, they put a great deal of thought into their feast. An oyster bar was the first of four courses that were served that evening all prepared by a dear friend. “We were picking up oyster shells at the house for four weeks. Despite planning events for a living, one of my oversights was that I forgot to

After filling up on food and drink, guests took to the dance floor to bust a move to the sounds of Burning Las Vegas from Nashville. Josh and Lindsay had booked charter buses to transport people back and forth from downtown so that no one had to drive, and

the dance floor was packed until the last bus had left. A beautiful fireworks display lit up the night sky above the couple’s home capping off a day that, while may not have gone exactly as planned, was still perfect for this new family.

NOOSH NOSH SKINNY OMELET

MINDFULNESS EXERCISES Start the day with a healthy mindset by simply stating what you want more of in your life.

Serves: 1 Stating three positive “I am” statements (i.e. “I am creative, I am focused, I am energized.”)

2 tablespoons butter 3 egg whites, beaten 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced* 2 tablespoons tomatoes, chopped* 1/4 cup spinach*

End the day by being thankful for everything that went right or is going right in your life.

Physical Exercise Sit-to-stand squat from a chair. Carlos Rivas, director of health and well-being at ProFormance, LLC, recommends performing two to three sets of 12 to 15 repetitions per day.

Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg whites. In another pan, heat oil and sauté the mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach over medium-high heat.

When the egg whites are set, add the vegetables to one half of the omelet and fold over. Gently slide out of pan onto a plate and serve while hot. *Chef recommends adding in your favorite and/or seasonal vegetables.

“Regular performance of a simple sit-to-stand squat from your chair can lower your risk for back injuries, back pain and even back strain while performing other physical activities,” says Rivas. “This exercise will help you battle the tight hamstrings you get from sitting for most of the day and help you to get energized while increasing your blood flow.”

One Dish You Should Eat This Week

By Emily Hagedorn Yelp Louisville Community Director Dish: Kentucky s’more doughnut at Hi-Five Doughnuts, 1011 E. Main St. What about it: These gray winter days have me longing for summer, and I recently got a taste of it – quite literally – with the ladies of the morning at Hi-Five Doughnuts. They have a Kentucky s’more doughnut that is as decadent as anything I’ve eaten from this trendy foodtruck-turned-brick-and-mortar. And the “Kentucky” in the name comes from the bourbon in the marshmallow cream on top. If you spy these in Hi-Five’s case, order one and be transported to a summer bonfire courtesy of “ruler of the dough,” as Yelper Robbyn M. put it.

by Moet Chandon champagne. If that doesn’t sound dreamy enough, each event was paired with wine or tequila tastings. Not a bad way to stay educated in your field of expertise!

The Cayman Islands are considered the “Culinary Capital of the Caribbean,” with the cuisines as diverse and eclectic as the residents themselves. Consisting of only a modest 101 square miles, the Islands are home to over 200 restaurants making it the ultimate culinary trip.

“Each trip we take is always an entirely different experience,” Lowery shares. “One up-and-coming trend that we noticed while in the Cayman Islands is that people are starting to prefer individual servings. For example, instead of a slice of cake, you would have 20 options of individual bite-sized servings. It allows the customer to have much more variety than just serving themselves a helping in a large chafing dish.”

Upon their return from the Cayman Islands, Lowery says she received a Request for Proposal specifically for an “around the world” theme presented in small individual plates and glasses. It sounds like Ladyfingers Catering will be uniquely qualified for that client. VT

Color and Coastal on the Menu

tepping inside the home of Kim and Marty Wilson, it’s easy to forget we live in Kentucky. Light blues and aqua accents radiate in the open space like an airy ocean side oasis. After calling it home for 10 years, the couple was ready to make some updates specifically through a kitchen renovation.

That all began to change when their daughter gifted them a consultation with interior designer Barry Wooley, President and CEO of Barry Wooley Designs. The award-winning designer brought his Homes expertise and attention to detail. “Personally, I’m driven SARA by aesthetics, but with kitchens, it’s all about function,” he says.

GIZA After the consultation, the Wilsons were given a kitchen questionnaire to help guide the process. “We always do a complete client profile,” says Wooley, adding that the investment of time “It was a huge black and white, non- upfront lends itself to a more personal functional kitchen.

While the Wilsons entertain occasionally, their home is used most frequently for family functions. “It’s fun to have people over now,” says Marty, stating that they can enjoy their space like they didn’t before. After the remodel, they were able to easily accommodate a gathering of 20 people. The large, open space retains a sense of intimacy thanks in part to the subtle details.

Gone are the days of countertops cluttered with appliances or containers falling out of cramped cupboards. Wooley and his team installed an appliance garage that blends in to the cabinets.

Storage cabinets and drawers are hidden throughout the kitchen, including under the table. An under-counter microwave also saves space, while under-counter lighting creates ambiance.

The updated pantry is one of Marty’s favorite features. “The pantry we had before required you to open the door and reach all the way in toward wire shelves,” but the new pantry drawers pull out for full and easy access. He also appreciates the oversized farm sink. The large wood

Kentucky Opera 2017/2018 Season Sneak Peek

t’s a season that has a little bit of something for everyone,” says General Director Ian Derrer of the upcoming 66th season of the Kentucky Opera. “For new opera-goers, this is the season to take a great chance because we’re making strides to make sure that each piece has accessibility.”

Arts & Entertainment MINDA HONEY

The season will begin Friday, September 15 and Sunday, September 17 with “Ariadne auf Naxos.” “It hasn’t been performed in Kentucky in over 35 years, but it’s a beloved opera by many great singers, directors and composers,” says Derrer.

He explains that it can be a challenging opera to cast: “We have the benefit of having Christine Brewer who is our Ariadne. [She] has done that role throughout the world and she’s renowned for it. ... She is one of the most famous Ariadnes in the world.”

Next in the season is “Dead Man Walking” on Friday, October 27 and Sunday, October 29. Derrer says, “It’s going to be a very successful run here in Louisville because the composer of the piece has had work done here before. Jake Heggie is one of the most popular, widely respected American composers, especially of opera.” And, Derrer continues, Principal Conductor Joseph Mechavich “has a warm, wonderful relationship with composer Jake Heggie.” Derrer sings the praises of Mechavich, who is also conducting “Ariadne”: “One of the keys to Joe’s success has been that he is very, very fluent in many musical styles.” Derrer is excited that many people in the cast will be making their role debuts and that there are several cast members with local ties including Chad Sloan, Emily Albrink and Evan Boyer, who will also be in “Ariadne.”

The season will close in 2018 on Friday, February 16 and Sunday, February 18 with “The Barber of Seville.” “It’s an absolutely tried and true wonderfully popular opera already, so we’re trying to breathe some new perspective into that with a brand new production for our audience here,” says Derrer. Derrer also calls “Barber of Seville” a good starter opera: “Musically, there are several things in ‘Barber of Seville’ that are very familiar to modern audiences because of its popularity.” He continues, “The overture...‘Figaro’ of course has it’s famous ‘Figaro, Figaro’ aria.” He predicts that whether you’re a long-time opera-goer or a newcomer, you’ll recognize some of the more famous tunes.

Derrer encourages attendees to come dressed as you are, from jeans to fur coats – or why not both? If you’re a first-timer, the Kentucky Opera welcomes you to call them up and let them know. They will make sure you have a great experience. To prep, you can participate in their “Lunch and Listen” program through WUOL or

F E B R U A R Y 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

attend the pre-show lecture led by Engagement Director Aubrey Baker. If you skew younger, you can join YPOP – the Young Professional Opera Patrons – for special pricing, fun happy hours and behind-the-scenes events.

Derrer describes the opera as a rare opportunity “to experience voices of great magnitude up close unamplified. We don’t get that very much anymore.” He goes on to say, “These opera singers are doing with their voice what Olympic athletes are doing with their bodies ... that is something I think always will impress and is what keeps people coming back.” VT

Do you have any suggestions on things we can do to make new, different friends, and how we can look different from each other?

We are moving this year, so next fall we will be in a new school. – THE TWIN THING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR TWIN THING: You and your sister are smart girls. What you want to do will be healthy for both of you, and I congratulate you for wanting to do it. It’s important that each of you develop as individuals, and the move will give the perfect opportunity to start.

If you have been dressing alike, make a point of not doing it from now on. If you have been wearing your hair in the same style, change that too. When you enroll in the new school, join separate clubs, go out for different sports, etc. If you do, people will no longer perceive you as molded from the same cookie cutter. Good luck.

••• DEAR ABBY: As a baby shower gift for my (soon-to-be) grandson, I plan on opening up a UTMA (Uniform Transfers to Minors) account for his college education with a $5,000 initial deposit. My idea is to add $1,000 every year on his birthday for the first five years.

Would it be tacky to challenge, or encourage, his other three grandparents to contribute to the account by matching their contributions every year up to my $1,000? Or would it be better to just tell them my plans and let them know they can also make deposits to the account? I don’t know the financial situations of the others, and I don’t want to

DEAR ABBY: An older friend and I have exchanged emails since last spring. Hers have been mostly political and disparaging toward minorities. I asked her to please not send this stuff since we have opposite opinions on the subject, and I don’t plan to change my mind. I enjoy our in-person talks because they are nothing like the emails she sends, which are “forwards” somebody else has put together.

I quit reading them, but is there a way to politely stop her from disseminating nasty propaganda? I have tried fact-checking and sending corrections to her and to those on the long list of people she has sent these emails. It doesn’t work. – FACT CHECKER DEAR FACT CHECKER: Because someone sends you emails does not mean you must read them all. Filter your email so that the political rants go into a special folder, then delete them en masse.

••• DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married 35 years. Our sex life was never very active, but we have been each other’s soul mates and best friends. We had a rough few years early on but managed to come back together, and our relationship is great.

Recently, while I was setting up new email addresses, I saw some messages he had sent in response to requests from married men looking for sex with other men. I just can’t reconcile this with the man I know; however, I’m sure it’s true. I’m not sure if I should tell him I know or if I should try to forget it.

After all, I may be the reason he’s looking for sexual satisfaction elsewhere. More than

anything, I’m surprised he’s not looking for a woman. I’m sure confused. What should I do? – SOUL MATES IN TEXAS DEAR SOUL MATES: I seriously doubt that this is your fault. Your husband doesn’t look for women to satisfy his sex drive because his orientation may be homosexual (or bisexual) rather than heterosexual.

You say you are soul mates and best friends. Soul mates and best friends communicate honestly with each other. I do think you should level with him about what you discovered. Is his having sex outside of your marriage all right with you? If you have had sexual relations with him over the last few years, make an appointment with your doctor to be checked for STDs. ••• DEAR ABBY: I’m a 30-year-old woman who has been with my boyfriend for a year and a half. He’s a great guy who treats me wonderfully. I know he sees marriage in our future, and that’s where my problem lies.

I’ve heard the saying that one should only marry someone (or even be with them) if one can’t imagine life without that person. Well, if I picture my life without him, I see myself being perfectly fine. Yes, I’d miss him, but I still think I could be happy without him.

I don’t imagine ever feeling devastated like other people feel when they break up with someone. Is this a sign that something is missing from the relationship? – STILL ALL RIGHT IN NEW JERSEY DEAR STILL ALL RIGHT: I don’t think so. The only thing that’s “missing” is the fact that you are not so emotionally dependent on your boyfriend that you couldn’t function if something were to happen to him. And in my opinion, that’s actually healthy because relationships and marriages don’t last forever, even when we wish them to.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Tyrion (aka Benji) is an energetic 10-month-old Staffordshire Terrier mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society because he had too much energy for his previous owner’s dogs. He loves to wrestle, and hasn’t learned the basic manners he needs to know that certain behaviors are not OK. Tyrion loves running and jumping and would make a great agility dog or running partner. We’re looking for an active family who will be patient in teaching him how to be the best pup possible! Due to his rough play style, we request that Tyrion meet any potential dog siblings before going home.

He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Come meet him at our East Campus location, 1000 Lyndon Lane. For more on Tyrion or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Tanya is a dapper tuxedo cat. At seven years old, we consider her the dignified “grand dame” of the shelter. Leave all the rough and tumble play to the kittens; Tanya prefers a good scratch behind the ears from her human, perhaps while sitting in front of a fireplace or lounging on a sun porch.

She’s looking for a laidback house to fit her laidback lifestyle. Tanya is an FIV positive cat, who will need to be either the only cat in the house or with other FIV positive cats. Don’t worry, Tanya can still live a long and happy life. Won’t you give her a chance? She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet Tanya at the Kentucky Humane Society’s East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane. For more on Tanya or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.
