It’s about the money The economy has had the greatest impact on restaurants and diners, and both are looking for new ways to go about the business of eating outside the home. Not only have the plates gotten smaller, so have the portions. It’s eco- nomically smart for the restaurants, and a welcome relief to most people who ponder whether to share a dish, or take it home for one or two more meals — an inconvenience for some. It’s the new wave of dining out today, when diners are going out less frequently, and carefully comparing restaurants for value. They’re clipping coupons and buying half-price din- ing certificates online. “Friending” or becoming a fan of a restaurant on Face- book has become the modern way of getting in on exclusive deals. Diners are pinching pennies in other ways — many choosing a different meal hour, or looking for theme days when prices on certain foods and drinks are discounted — and going when the pric- es are more wallet-friendly. “I see a trend toward eating bigger meals in the daytime and not so much at night.

Half-portions are becoming common across menus — appetizers are offered as either small plate or entrée portions, or some entrees offered as half-plates for a reduced price. At the Ke’e Grill in Juno Beach, already popular for its early night menu, the same entrée crab cakes are served in an appetizer por- tion. The entrée portion comes with all the trimmings, so diners who are thrifty can save both calories and dollars ordering the ample first-course dish as a meal. Ingredients take new forms Chefs are using their foods in new ways to extend their value. Somewhat pricy crab is moving beyond the crab cakes; look for she-crab soup at several restaurants this season, including the new Gulfstream Café in Jupiter.

Residents of Botanica “live, work and play within walking distance,” Mr. McConnell says. “As I sit here, I see residents walking to work, and walking home to lunch.” To avoid a cookie-cutter appearance, the company varies home elevations and colors, switches out porches and balconies, and incorporates fountains, trellises and specimen trees, to create streetscapes. Native trees are preserved in place or moved on site for a mature look, and native shrubs and other plants are incor- porated into landscaping. By placing garages off alleys behind the homes, architects had space to design spacious front porches. “The design is very lending to a close- knit community,” Mr. McConnell says. “It’s an alternative to the larger com- munities.” The company builds the walls and floors of its homes in Florida with steel- reinforced concrete to reduce noise from outside, maintenance costs and energy loss. Inside, those houses have flexible floor plans — those steel-rein- forced floors eliminate the need for load- bearing interior walls.

Ooh, la-la! Robb & Stucky gets French accent with The Paris Shoppe

SPECIAL TO FLORIDA WEEKLY

obb & Stucky Interiors has added a French twist to its stores. The company, which has stores in Palm Beach Gar- dens and Boca Raton, has added The Paris Shoppe to R each of its interior showrooms. The Paris Shoppe will offer French-inspired pieces by such fur- niture makers as French Heritage, Century, Vanguard and French Laundry. The company’s design team “recognized a trend toward French loft items, but there was not a place where consumers could find a core collection of that look,” Kris Kolar, vice president of interior design, said in a statement. “So, at Robb & Stucky, we decided to gather different looks, from French country to more refined and even industrial French styles, and present these fabulous finds in The Paris Shoppe.” The designs are by the numbers — literally. Fabrics are by French Laundry, whose inspiration is letters and numbers printed on French country feed bags. These typographical elements are prominent on several furniture pieces, including an ottoman and throw pillows. Expect a mélange of materials, too. Think distressed woods with dry finishes and tables that incorporate a decoupage technique. The frame of a beach-wood mirror is reminiscent of small pieces of driftwood. Furnishings with a venerable look reveal the wood’s natural color with white-washed tones and gilded accents. And that touch of the industrial?

C4 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT WEEK OF OCTOBER 21-27, 2010 www.FloridaWeekly.com FLORIDA WEEKLY HORROR From page 1 better there than on Broadway a year later, where the show closed after only 45 performances. It was after the release of the 1975 movie version, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” which became an audience participation cult hit, that Mr. O’Brien’s modest show became mega-successful. The movie’s legendary status has its upside and down side for a stage troupe like Slow Burn. While the “Rocky Hor- ror” phenomenon all but guarantees an audience for the show, the cult’s familiarity with the material can stunt a director’s creative impulses. Mr. Fitzwater, who is staging this pro- duction, scoffs at the idea of the burden. “I’m putting away the movie, not com- paring it to the stage show, but explor- ing how I would mount the stage show for its own sake,” he says. For fans of the movie who will expect its iconic images, Mr. Fitzwater adds, “Oh, they’re there. We’re giving them the image, but in the same minute that they recognize it, the image will flip. And they’ll go, ‘Hey, wait a minute.’ ” Mr. Fitzwater’s artistic partner, Mat- thew Korinko, who plays the show’s narrator, says, “We’re not going to imi- tate. Just giving them the movie onstage would not engage their minds as much.” “We’ve definitely added some new twists to it,” claims Fitzwater. “As in character development, because the characters were very one-dimensional. But we really looked at Janet and Brad and the journey that they are both on. Brad really goes through some things where he has to meet the challenge and where Janet looks at him like he’s not the provider that he thought he was going to be. “These things were always there, they just got lost in the production values. And we’re dragging it out, so to speak.” “Patrick has a really interesting take on this show, so unlike the movie,” says Alexa Cappiello, who plays Janet. “It’s the same material, but we take it in a new direction. I think people who know and love the movie will appreciate what we’re doing to it. And it’s live theater, which I think is always better than movies.” Still, the movie version of “Rocky Horror” has had a lasting effect on the theatrical experience. Performers of the show now have to be prepared for an assault of the movie’s ritual audience participation elements. Or else.
