Relax. From a roadmap of Miami’s best dining neighborhood to our inaugural list of the local people, places and dishes making a mark on our food scene, we’ve got you covered. FELIPE CUEVAS Now stop counting calories — and start planning your next mesmerizing meal. New Kids on the Block How a girl from Australia and a boy from the Florida Panhandle met over meatloaf, fell for each other in the kitchen and opened a crazy-good restaurant in Miami’s best dining neighborhood. unset Harbour’s Stiltsville Fish Bar is an homage to the love story of chef-partners Janine Booth and Jeff McInnis. The culinary power couple met when McInnis was executive chef at Gigi in Midtown Miami, and Booth paid a visit twice in the same day, lured by his meatloaf special. “I’d never even heard of meatloaf,” recalled Booth, a native of Australia, who was in culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu at the time. “But of course, it wasn’t just any meatloaf. It was made with short rib and caramelized onions and smoked plantains and barbecue sauce. It was amazing. I wanted to know how to make it.” The chance encounter led to an internship with McInnis at Gigi and moving with him to Yardbird Southern Table & Bar when he opened it in Miami Beach in 2011.

  • Water Resource Management and Drought: What Can Southern California Learn from Australia's Millennium Drought?
    Water Resource Management and Drought: What can Southern California Learn from Australia’s Millennium Drought? David Jaeckel, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies | TreePeople 1 Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 INTRODUCTION 6 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 9 AUSTRALIA: BACKGROUND 10 KEY THEMES THAT EMERGED DURING RESEARCH 15 POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS 25 CONCLUSION 29 APPENDICES 31 APPENDIX A: LIST OF SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS 31 REFERENCES 34 2 Executive Summary Australia experienced a devastating 12-year ‘Millennium Drought’ that lasted from 1997-2009. Four years in, their drought was just like California’s - big and devastating. The country responded by overhauling their existing water governance framework and implementing a host of water management solutions, ranging from desalination facilities to comprehensive water conservation behavior change programs. Some of these solutions worked and helped Australia make efficient use of their dwindling water supplies. Other solutions, however, proved challenging, with exorbitant costs and lengthy construction times cancelling the benefits associated with additional water supply. Southern California has a lot to learn from these lessons as the state’s decision makers weigh options of how to deal with our current water crisis. This research project examines the drought-response strategies from the two Australian cities of Melbourne and Adelaide, and how these strategies might be applied to southern California. Both of these cities implemented innovative water management solutions during the Millennium Drought that helped to both drought-proof their respective water supplies, and also to increase water-supply resiliency in the future with a changing climate. Southern California has the rare opportunity to not only learn from what water management solutions worked in Australia, but also from what water management solutions did not work.

  • Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Inquiry into issues relating to Redfern/Waterloo Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block The terms of reference for the Inquiry require the Committee to examine proposals for the future of the Block. The long-term future of the Block and its residents is a complex issue requiring initiatives to address social and economic disadvantage experienced by the local Aboriginal community. These issues will be examined in the second stage of the Inquiry and will be addressed in the Final Report. This chapter focuses on the future of the Block in terms of the redevelopment of housing. The purpose of the Committee’s examination of this issue is not to decide what the future of the Block is to be, as that must be determined by the Aboriginal Housing Company and the Aboriginal community. Rather, the Committee has sought to gather together the range of views expressed by members of the community and local organisations during this Inquiry, in order to explore the issues surrounding the Aboriginal Housing Company’s Pemulwuy Redevelopment Project and the progress of the redevelopment. This chapter commences with a brief history of the Block and the Aboriginal community in Redfern and Waterloo. History of the Block and the Aboriginal community in Redfern 3.1 ‘The Block’ is the colloquial name for a residential block in Redfern bounded by Louis, Vine, Eveleigh and Caroline Streets. The Block is owned by the Aboriginal Housing Company. A map of the local area is set out as Appendix 4. 3.2 Redfern and the Block in particular, is a place of political, spiritual and cultural significance for Aboriginal people in Sydney and also for Aboriginal people throughout New South Wales and Australia.
