Lifestyle20 The September buzz around South Florida BY ROBIN HODES

Give Glamorously: There’s nothing inherently glamorous about bat- tling breast cancer, but a pair of stilettos and a smear of lipstick continue to do wonders when it comes to fi ghting for a cure thanks to Glam-A-Thon—the nonprofi t organization dedicated to helping breast cancer warriors in South Florida. Founded by Tammy Gail, a breast cancer survivor of 14 years (pictured, far right) who launched the organization to help those needing community support, Glam-A-Thon has donated more than $520,000 to Broward Health Foundation since 2011. Fundraising efforts support free mammograms, diagnostic testing and other needs associated with undergo- ing breast cancer treatment. Best of all, they have fun doing it. Look no further than Lipstick Lounge set for Sept. 7 at Gallery of Amazing Things in Dania Beach. The fashion-forward event includes delicious bites, decadent drinks and a swag bag stuffed with glamorous goodies. Glam-A-Thon will award one of its “philanthropy rock stars” with the prestigious Glammy Award at a special VIP ceremony preceding the Lipstick 1 Lounge. In 2019, stay tuned for Strut (theme and date TBA), where fabulously outfi t- ted divas, dudes and doggies will hit the streets—all in the name of charity and breast cancer awareness.

azzedStu Grant—son of the late, legendary jazz radio personality Alan Grant—is South Florida’s jazz 20 impresario. His vivid memories include face-to-face meetings with jazz luminaries like John Coltrane and honing his craft on-air during his father’s live broadcasts from Manhattan’s hippest jazz clubs. Stu started his jazz radio career back in 1972, and, over the years, has maintained a rapport with local jazz musicians, club owners, concert promoters and well-regarded organizations such as The Gold Coast Jazz Society and South Florida Jazz. Since then, Stu has moved into around-the-clock live streaming on cooljazzﬂ orida. com. He also includes specialty shows: Brazilian and Latin ﬂ avors on Friday nights, contemporary big band on Saturday afternoons, and a relaxing jazz brunch on Sundays. “I feel blessed that I’ve had such a good run in our community and am thrilled to see that jazz is thriving in South Florida,” he says.

The Philly faithful that frequent the venerable tavern (9111 Sunrise Lane), a Fort Lauderdale institution for nearly 50 years, continue to bask in the glow of the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl victory against the New England Patriots—the franchise’s fi rst championship since 1960. However, the Parrot isn’t the only Broward establishment ready to welcome a rabid fan base back to its bar stools for football season. Fans of pro and college teams gather at sports bars and restaurants throughout the area to cheer on their favorite team (or, depending on the outcome, drown their sorrows). Here are just a few of the places with NFL and college connections:

• At Bokamper’s Sports Bar & Grill along the waterfront in Fort Lauderdale (3115 NE 32nd Ave.), customers don’t have to root for the Miami Dolphins— but why upset the co-owner, former Dolphins defensive great Kim Bokamper? Then again, with some 70 TVs throughout the sprawling location, chances are good that your favorite team is playing on at least one of them. • Miller’s Ale House in Fort Lauderdale (2861 N. Federal Highway) serves up weekend wings and Zingers (its buttermilk-breaded boneless chicken tenders) and a slew of craft and seasonal beers on tap, to all sports lovers—but don’t be surprised to see plenty of New England Patriots and New York Giants jerseys in the house. Fans of both teams gather at the Ale House. • According to the club’s Facebook page, South Florida fans of the New York Jets will be setting up shop this fall at Wunderbar Sports Bar & Grill in Davie (4995 SW 148th Ave.). The kitchen serves authentic German/Bavarian cuisine—think bratwurst, wiener schnitzel, schweinebraten (German pork roast) and those killer soft pretzels the size of a Volkswagen. Jets fans wearing jerseys or team gear qualify for $2 draft beers, $3 wine and $3 mixed drinks—which they’ll need if this season is anything like the last 48. • On Saturdays, join Broward backers of the Florida Gators at Twin Peaks in Davie (2000 S. University Drive) and the Florida State Seminoles at Slackers Bar & Grill in Fort Lauderdale (995 W. State Road 84; Slackers also is home to fans of the Green Bay Packers and University of Wisconsin). — KEVIN KAMINSKI

LMGFL.COM | SEPTEMBER 2018 75 76 SEPTEMBER 2018 | LMGFL.COM Epicurean eights The fine dining at these South Florida luxury resorts raises the restaUrant bar to new heights BY EMILY BLOCH

In South Florida, now more than ever, an upscale meal can be just steps away from a pillow-top mattress and free, fancy toiletries. Wheth- er you chalk it up to quality, service or sheer convenience, the fact of the matter is that hotel dining is on the rise. An industry study from earlier this year noted that restaurants within hotels and resorts have been trending upward over time. Ac- cording to Technomic, a global food-service data company, total spending by consumers in hotels totaled to $48.7 billion last year. And it’s only supposed to go up in 2018. South Florida Sun Sentinel food crit- ic Mike Mayo says that resort dining poses advantages for all parties involved. “Because the hotels are usually attached to big corporations, the hotels are able to pay well and bring in big-name chefs,” Mayo says. “It also enables them to get better products at lower prices.” The Technomic report also noted that local and regional offerings are more in demand. It’s something we’d safely bet our South Florida resorts have caught wind of—whether looking at JWB Prime Steak and Seafood’s fresh ﬁ sh that is literally speared hours before hitting a plate at Margaritaville or Terra Mare’s cold-pressed juices at The Conrad. To celebrate South Florida’s best ﬁ ne dining establishments that are connected to luxury resorts, check out the following restaurants.

LMGFL.COM | SEPTEMBER 2018 77 Boathouse Riverside Hotel

WHERE: 620 E Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: One of the city’s newest dock-and-dine locations, Boathouse opened in March and offers Mediterranean-inspired lunch and dinner dishes on the water. Chef Toby Joseph dishes out experimental hot and cold tapas— like the hot shrimp served with smoked paprika, garlic and basil on a baguette ($14) or the cold Spanish chorizo with emmental cheese and tapenade, atop crostini ($7). DON’T-MISS DISH: According to Joseph, Boathouse is the only place to get pickled mussels in all of Las Olas. To make the cold tapas dish, Joseph and his kitchen staff steam fresh mussels and use that stock to form the pickling base. Vinegar and spices, including rosemary and pars- ley, are added to the marinade. The $8 dish is served with red pepper mayo atop fried crostini. CONTACT: 954.377.5494, boathouseriverside.com

78 SEPTEMBER 2018 | LMGFL.COM AQ Chop ouse by l ulino Acqualina

WHERE: 17875 Collins Ave., Sunny Isles Beach KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: This upscale steakhouse melds Italian fl avors and grand mid-century European decor. The patio is charmingly cozy—often offering live music—while the inside is dimmed and romantic. AQ Chop House is a “special occasion” experience for dinner, but when it comes to brunch, bottomless mimosas and an ice cream bar with around 10 fl avors to try might be worth a return visit. DON’T-MISS DISH: Despite an extensive menu full of luscious ingredients like truffl e oil—featured on a crudo with steak tartare and egg—and grilled octopus, the star remains a classic: lobster ravioli. The decadent dish has stolen visitor’s hearts. CONTACT: 877.312.9742, acqualinaresort.com/restaurants

LMGFL.COM | SEPTEMBER 2018 79 Monkitail The Diplomat Beach Resort

WHERE: 3555 S. Ocean Drive, Hollywood KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: Japanese cuisine visits Hollywood, under Chef Michael Schulson. The modern restaurant—set in a lavish dining room with ornate chandeliers and leather booths—brings delicacies like edamame, bao buns and dumplings to patrons. It’s not Schulson’s fi rst effort. The celebrity chef and restaurateur, who was featured on TV shows like “Ultimate Cake Off” and “Pantry Raid,” has opened six other restaurants. DON’T-MISS DISH: Lauded as not just a reason to visit, but a reason to come back, the duck scrapple bao bun ($12) is a unique example of Schulson’s creativity. The fl uffy, cloud-like bao buns sandwich a duck scrapple doused in maple teriyaki, cucumber and a fi nishing kick of chili. In addition to purchasing it on its own, Monkitail also offers a chef’s tasting menu at $65 a person, which includes 10 menu items (the bao would count as one) and a dessert. CONTACT: 954.602.8755, monkitail.com

80 SEPTEMBER 2018 | LMGFL.COM Prime Steak and Seafood Margaritaville

WHERE: 1111 N. Ocean Drive, Hollywood KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: Deeming itself “laidback luxury,” JWB Prime Steak and Sea- food joins fi ne dining and fresh seafood with exposed wood and brick walls, mid-century modern furniture and fun, graphic printed bar stools. The Margaritaville restaurant serves up classic surf ’n’ turf staples, including prime bone-in rib-eye ($55), plus lobster and oysters. Don’t let the fact that JWB is named after James William Buffett con you into not taking this place seriously. Each morning, the seafood being served that day is spearfi shed. Within hours, it hits the menu. DON’T-MISS DISH: Comparable to snapper, one of JWB’s unique offerings is its lionfi sh (market price). The invasive species that’s in- famous for reef destruction is spearfi shed and served with simple seasoning and lemon. CONTACT: 954.874.4470, jwbrestaurant.com

Grille 66 & Bar Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina

WHERE: 2301 SE 17th St., Fort Lauderdale KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: Despite the white linens and gratuitous views of yachts rolling by this waterfront option, Grille 66 still fi nds a way to make diners feel comfortable. Perhaps it’s the “Potatoes & Stuff” section of its menu that does the trick. This upscale venue, lauded for its sea bass and crab cakes, has six potato offerings, including Parmesan truffl e fries, au gratin and mashed ($10-$12). The Pier Sixty-Six restaurant also offers a happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. at the bar that’s worth trying. The star of that show? Succulent grilled marinated lamb lollipops ($12), served with mixed greens and a house sauce. DON’T-MISS DISH: We’ve seen “build your own” menus before—often with pizza and pasta dishes. But it’s a whole new ballgame when you try it with fi let mignon ($39-$49). This barrel-cut steak is boasted as 28-day primed and aged and broiled at 1,800 degrees. From there, patrons can add toppings—like blue cheese, pep- percorn crusts or jumbo lump crab—sauces and butters. The additions range in price and extravagance from horseradish cream ($3) to foie gras truffl e butter ($4). CONTACT: 954.678.3917, pier66hotelmarina.com LMGFL.COM | SEPTEMBER 2018 81 Burlock Coast SeaFare and Spirits The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale

WHERE: 1 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd. KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: Just footsteps away from the beach, Burlock Coast allows patrons to enter a classy restaurant, cafe, cigar shop and rum retailer all in one. From pork belly with trufﬂ e grits and smoked cheese ($28) to a classic burger-and- beer Monday special ($10), Burlock Coast aims to please everyone. And between the views and craft rum cocktails, it succeeds. DON’T-MISS DISH: Don’t be fooled by the dish’s simple title. Burlock Coast’s signature lobster pasta ($30) is a rich dish that has drawn raves (and return visits) since the restaurant opened in late 2015. Made with pappardelle pasta, a heavy bisque for the sauce, spinach and tomatoes, the entree was described by Broward New Times as “if bisque, a lobster roll, and some homemade pappardelle decided to sleep together and you caught them in the act, tangled up under a thin veil of melted, grated cheese.” CONTACT: 954.302.6460, ritzcarlton.com

Terra Mare The Conrad

WHERE: 551 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., Fort Lauderdale KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: This chic, waterfront location offers global cuisine that’s made with love—the kind of love that’s evident in true, devoted tableside preparation and freshly cold-pressed juice for your cocktails. Terra Mare has a range of locally sourced and market-fresh breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner options—all with an added twist. Take the spicy peach breakfast toast for example ($12), featuring goat cheese, peach jam and fresh jalapeño on top of multigrain bread. Other standouts include the blistered shishito peppers ($10) with black trufﬂ e ponzu sauce. DON’T-MISS DISH: We’ve seen Terra Mare’s tagliatelle—the long ribbon-shaped pasta, made in house—served two raved- about ways. One comes in a root vegetable bolognese and topped with Parmesan ($25). The other is full of lumps of crab, with an egg and sea urchin butter. Both are intoxicating the way only a luscious, homemade pasta can be. CONTACT: 954.414.5160, terramareﬂ .com

82 SEPTEMBER 2018 | LMGFL.COM 3030 Ocean Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

WHERE: 3030 Holiday Drive, Fort Lauderdale KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: The bread basket is tasty, inviting and full of variety—possibly a metaphor for the rest of the menu. The Harbor Beach Marriott restaurant sucks diners in with its baskets of warm, fresh-baked bread in different varieties. From there, executive chef Adrienne Grenier proves why she won an episode of Food Network’s “Chopped” in 2011, add- DRINK SPECIALS ing her masterful touch to such dishes as the grilled COCKTAIL CONCOCTIONS beef tenderloin ($55) and the fried snapper with kim- chi and shishito peppers ($38), and making them sing.

4. The Jessica Rabbit at Terra Mare doesn’t use any ol’ fruit juice. The Conrad Fort Lauderdale restaurant cold-presses its own juice, without any additives before incorporating it into cocktails. For this drink, it’s a mix of Avion Silver, Combier, carrot, fresh orange juice, lime, cilantro and jalapeño.

5. A drink basically made for Instagram, The Gold Unicorn at ao by aul Qui comes served in a massive unicorn-shaped goblet. Inside the drink from Faena Hotel Miami Beach’s restaurant is a hybrid of a Moscow mule and a piña colada that comes from the combination of ginger juice and vodka.

LMGFL.COM | SEPTEMBER 2018 83 Kuro Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

WHERE: 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: This high-end Asian fusion restaurant located within the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino opened in March 2015. The 9,500-square-foot restaurant was designed to resemble a theater, which is ﬁ tting, because its dishes are show- stoppers. Menu items that steal the spotlight include the wagyu tacos ($16) with spicy cilantro, shallots and an aioli sauce; any of the tempura offerings; anything off the robata charcoal grills; and any of the maki or sushi selections. In fact, pretty much every artistically rendered, chef-driven option off this menu deserves an ovation. DON’T-MISS DISH: The tuna crispy rice ($16) has quickly become a crowd favorite at Kuro, with piles and piles of reviews shout- ing the dish out by name. The starter plate features spicy tuna decorated with caviar on top. It’s a mouthwatering combo that, according to the wait staff, is one of the most-requested dishes.

84 SEPTEMBER 2018 | LMGFL.COM Ask the Chef We chatted with Anthony Sicignano, executive chef at The Breakers, about his experiences with food and working at the famed Palm Beach resort, where he oversees nine restaurants. The chef, who comes from a big Italian family, has worked at The Breakers since 1993. Here’s what he had to say (responses have been edited for length):

LMGFL.COM | SEPTEMBER 2018 85 Pao by Paul Qui Faena Hotel Miami Beach

WHERE: 3201 Collins Ave., Miami Beach KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: A unicorn is often used to describe that one-in-a- million gem, glistening with uniqueness. And at Pao, you’ll see that—literally, because there’s a giant gold unicorn in the middle of the dining room. A gold-leafed, $6 million Damien Hirst unicorn sculpture to be exact. But the art isn’t the only thing lavish and exciting at this modern Asian restaurant. For many, it’s the pork adobo rice ($25), a ginger-jasmine rice with pork, a fried duck egg, cilantro and a green mango pico. For others, it’s the often-praised service (they’ll debone a whole branzino upon request). And, in a sharp contrast to hotel dining that skews meat-heavy, Pao offers multiple vegetari- an and vegan options ready-to-go. DON’T-MISS DISH: After seeing a giant sculpture of one in the middle of this oval-shaped dining room, it’s hard not to order a dish called “Unicorn” ($27). It features a sea urchin placed atop grilled sweet corn pudding, which is ﬂ avored with lime, sake aioli and chile de arbol with a puff of foam on top for embellish- ment.

MAIN COURSES: The three dramatic layouts at Streamsong feel like they were carved out of the land that time forgot. In truth, it’s land, once mined for phosphate, that was re-imagined by The Mosaic Co. (along with golf architects Bill Coore, Ben Crenshaw and Tom Doak). The result? Links-style courses—Red, Blue and Black—that are designed to be walked. (In fact, during certain times of the year, that’s the only option). Each one features its share of dramatic elevation changes, natural sand dunes, undulating greens and wild grasses that recall Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. The 16th holes on the Red and Blue courses are among the more challenging and picture-perfect par-3s you’ll ever see. Check out the Tour Package, which gives golfers the chance to play all three courses over three days, and includes daily breakfast and a $50 resort credit per player.
