All rights reserved. browardpalmbeach.com TASTE 2016 3 very year, the Taste Guide aims to give readers just that: a taste of the ever-evolving edible scene in South Florida. This year, we’re getting down to business. We’re tracking trends, like the barbe- E cue craze that is filling the area with the aroma of smoked meats and house-made sauces. South Florida also benefits from our Caribbean proximity, so we’ve put together a list of the best Jamaican restaurants in Broward and Palm Beach counties. Local brewers reveal the reality of what it takes to turn your homebrewing hobby into a commercial concern. And chef Louie Bossi tells the tale of how he went from tossing pizzas to curing his own salumi in the restaurant that shares his name. Meanwhile, local activists hope to save our food chain by saving the bees with urban apiaries. From bees to beer, from counter service to white tablecloths, it’s a good time to be eating in South Florida. ► BEE READY.....................6 SMOKED.........................8 ► OLD-WORLD COOKING.........12 STIRRING THINGS UP...........14 ► WILL BREW FOR MONEY........18 ISLAND TO PENINSULA..........20 ► LEE’S PICKS.................22 BIG EVENTS AT THE FEST.......24 ► YOUNG GUNS................27 AT A TENDER AGE..............28 ► TASTE TEST.................30 4 4 TASTETASTE 2016 2016 browardpalmbeach.commiaminewtimes.com browardpalmbeach.com TASTE 2016 5 Taste BEE READY Public land may save Broward’s dwindling apiaries. more disappeared.

    Discover Culinary: Explore the Agricultural Riches & Fresh Atlantic Coast Seafood of The Palm Beaches, Florida Gourmands can savor “the best of everything” with a diverse range of menus at various farm-fresh eateries during a stay in The Palm Beaches. Local chefs and food artisans have revitalized The Palm Beaches’ culinary scene, thanks to straight-from-the-garden produce, and fresh- from-the-sea seafood in an ever-growing assortment of sophisticated farm-to-table and dock-to-dine, dining options. A winter breadbasket of the United States, The Palm Beaches top all counties east of the Mississippi River in total agricultural sales, with a total annual economic impact of $2 billion. The destination leads the nation in the production of sugarcane and fresh sweet corn, also leading Florida in the production of rice, bell peppers, lettuce, radishes, Chinese vegetables, specialty leaf, cucumbers, eggplants and herbs. This bounty of agricultural riches allows The Palm Beaches to take advantage of the culinary landscape, and foodie travel phenomenon, which has advanced from a national travel trend to travel pattern. The 2013 “American Culinary Traveler Report,” published by Mandala Research, showed that the percentage of U.S. leisure travelers who travel to learn about and enjoy unique dining experiences grew from 40% to 51% between 2006 and 2013. In 2012, it was estimated that tourism expenditures on food services in the U.S. topped $201 billion, nearly a quarter of all travel income. That makes food service the highest category of travel spend, according to the University of Florida report: “A Flash of Culinary Tourism.” This study also estimates that 39 million U.S.

    A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF TELEVISION’S LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER IMAGES. words and images matter NETWORK RESPONSIBILITY INDEX TABLE OF CONTENTS • TABLE OF CONTENTS TK EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 ABC 8 CBS 10 CW 12 FOX 14 NBC 16 ABC FAMILY 18 FX 20 HBO 22 HISTORY 24 MTV 26 SHOWTIME 28 TBS 31 TLC 32 TNT 34 USA 36 MORE CABLE NETWORKS 38 BIOS 41 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The GLAAD Network Responsibility Index (NRI) is an evaluation of the quantity and quality of images of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgen- der (LGBT) people on television. It is intended to serve as a road map toward increasing fair, accurate, and inclusive LGBT media representations. GLAAD has seen time and again how images of multi-dimensional gay and transgender people on television have the power to change public percep- tions. The Pulse of Equality Survey, commissioned by GLAAD and conducted by Harris Interactive, confirmed a growing trend toward greater acceptance among the American public. Among the 19% who reported that their feelings toward gay and lesbian people have become more favorable over the past 5 years, 34% cited “seeing gay or lesbian characters on television” as a contrib- uting factor. In fact when Vice President Joe Biden endorsed marriage equality this year, he cited the NBC sitcom Will & Grace as one of the factors that led to a better understanding of the LGBT community by the American public. As diverse LGBT images in the media become more prevalent, the general public becomes exposed to the truth of the LGBT community: lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans are parents and teachers, law enforce- ment and soldiers, high school students and loving elderly couples.

  • Post-Blackness and Culinary Nostalgia in Marcus Samuelsson's
    Post-Blackness and Culinary Nostalgia 5 Post-Blackness and Culinary Nostalgia in Marcus Samuelsson’s Yes, Chef Badia Ahad On a recent Sunday afternoon, I found myself lying on the couch indulging in an afternoon marathon of my favorite television show, Chopped, which airs on The Food Network. I cannot explain why I take such perverse pleasure in watching the anxiety-ridden countenances of “chef-testants” upon being given a hodge-podge of four ingredients as disparate as calf’s liver, gummy bears, Swiss chard, and smoked gouda and charged with transforming them into a tasty dish in less than 20 minutes. In one particular episode, while introducing the illustrious panel of judges, host Ted Allen referred to Marcus Samuelsson as the “New Harlem Renaissance” chef.1 Naturally, I was intrigued. As a scholar of contemporary African-American literature and culture, I have been careful to stay abreast of emerging black artistic movements and trends. But the “New Harlem Renaissance” was a moniker for a seemingly localized black cultural, artistic, and apparently, culinary, rebirth of which I knew little. Ultimately, this led to an afternoon of pursuing all things Marcus Samuels- son. While doing so, I came across the November 2008 issue of Food and Wine that featured an article entitled, “The New Harlem Renaissance,” highlighting the easy friendship and culinary collaboration between Chef Marcus Samuels- son, owner of the Red Rooster restaurant, and Thelma Golden, director of the Studio Museum of Harlem. The article in Food and Wine details Golden and Samuelsson’s plans for an elaborate dinner party to celebrate the publication 0026-3079/2016/5404-005$2.50/0 American Studies, 54:4 (2016): 5–26 5 6 Badia Ahad of his then-new cookbook, The Soul of a New Cuisine, which pays homage to the African food cultures that Samuelsson believes have gone virtually ignored in Western culinary spheres.
