‘Living authentically’ at Riverstead, an agrihood community in northern Greenville County

n story by JESSICA MULLEN | photos PROVIDED

Developers at Riverstead hope to offer families a convenient way of living authentically in an agrihood. The community, which is 30 minutes from downtown Greenville and 10 minutes from Travelers Rest, is based around farming and keeping families connected to nature. “I grew up 15 minutes from here,” says developer Lucas Anthony. “Back then, we had a bunch of land. I grew up on 300 acres. My brother and I camped out, played and built tree forts. My dream was to have a place big enough where my family could do that. The only problem was that I couldn’t afford it.” Enter Riverstead, an agrihood that gives families the opportunity to live on a lot of land without having to own it all. “It’s very similar to a golf course community,” Anthony says. “All we did was remove the golf course and put a farm in it. And golf balls don’t taste as good as eggs.” The Riverstead property runs along the Saluda River and features views of Table Rock and Caesar’s Head.

It’s very similar to a golf course community. All we did was remove the golf course and put a farm in it.” -Lucas Anthony, developer, Riverstead 4

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // JANUARY 10

“It took a year for us to do the agricultural clearing and make both open and agriculture space,” says Anthony, who bought the property in 2016. “We left the hardwood trees and protected the river with a 300-foot buffer. It cost us a lot of money to not put houses on the river, but this way everyone can enjoy it.” However, Anthony’s vision for the community wasn’t limited to pretty views. “When building a community like this, we knew it was more than just a place,” he says. “Riverstead has five governing values: collaboration; appreciation for nature; gratitude; lifelong learning; and thriving.” Anthony didn’t originally anticipate just how involved the community would want to be. “I originally intended to have a caretaker and I reserved a home site for him over by the farm,” he says. “But after talking to the homeowners, they said “we don’t want to pay the profit that the caretaker would charge us over and above what our vegetables would cost. They are the farm. I’m giving them the farm, literally.” Anthony says he plans for the homeowners association to give credits to people who serve in the farm or help pick up the trails. The community events are designed to push people together, he says. “People complain less when they invest a little sweat equity.” Anthony has plans for six more agrihoods in areas closer to Greenville to offer those in low-income neighborhoods the opportunity to experience farm-fresh living. Riverstead’s way of life will help to com-

RIVERSTEAD'S GOVERNING VALUES bat consumerism for its residents, says the developer. “The modern subdivision came about because of real estate values being so high. I think it’s due to a lack of gathering. That’s why shopping has become such a big deal. We’re meant to be hunter-gatherers, and there’s an innate desire to gather. We can fulfill that need here by gathering the food for your family, and then you don’t need as much stuff.”

Dining out advice from ‘The Cooking Doc’

ING LIST W E N

As Greenville basks in its growing foodie culture and salivates with each new restaurant opening, this food lover is watching with cautious anticipation. Why? As a kidney doctor at Carolina Nephrology and host of an online healthy cooking show, “The Cooking Doc” (www. thecookingdoc.com), the condition of my patients is always on my mind. As food takes center stage in Greenville, we would be mistaken if we did not recognize how dining out, without healthy options, can be hazardous to the well-being of Greenville and all Upstate residents. The perils of dining out reach all of us, whether we are eating fast-food hamburgers or buttery shrimp and grits at one of our local restaurants. That’s because when we eat out, we tend to consume larger portions and less healthy food than we would at home. And, as a state, we don’t need any extra hazards. South Carolina has a 32% obesity rate, a 38% high blood pressure rate and a 12% rate of adults with Type 2 diabetes, the eighth highest percentage in the nation. Do not be discouraged though. As someone who loves to cook and eat a variety of tasty food, I’m not here to tell you to avoid eating out. I am writing as a call to action. A plea to each of you from a local doctor to order not only to benefit your taste buds, but also to benefit your health. If that means low-sodium meals, ask the restaurant to leave off the sauce. If that means you need smaller portions, ask the server to split the order. If that means you cannot keep your hands off the pre-meal bread, ask the server to keep the bread in the kitchen. There are many ways to eat out while still keeping your health in mind but we, as customers, cannot do it alone. We need the cooperation of the Greenville chefs and restaurateurs. I’d like to ask that we encourage our beloved Greenville chefs in our budding foodie town to not only make their mouthwatering menu staples, but to also create healthy dishes that taste just as de-

licious. I am confident in their incredible ability to do so. Sure, you can get the healthy grilled chicken sprinkled with salt and pepper, or you can get the crispy fried chicken on a brioche bun with homemade sriracha mayo,freshly cut fries sprinkled with Maldon salts and house-made pickles. Given that choice, most of us will order the item the chef has perfected, rather than the grilled chicken we could have made at home. If the same culinary creativity is shown in the healthier dishes as is in the higher calorie ones, would we be more apt to order those? I just think we might. There are top-notch chefs out there to create fresh foods and inspire us to eat them. But, they won’t create healthy food items if we won’t order them. Moreover, many of us will not order them because either they appear boring, too “weird” or we are not looking out for our health when we are eating out. Greenville is elevating into a foodie city. Let’s also elevate it into a healthy eating city, a place where our signature dishes are also the tastiest. There are foods that will surprise our taste buds in new and delicious ways if we are ready to try them and if our chefs are ready to make them. I’m ready. My patients are ready. Are you?

Co-chairs of 20th anniversary Upstate Heart Ball know heart disease’s impact all too well n story by GEORGIA GAY

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // JANUARY 10

irk and Katherine Pieper have many personal reasons for becoming cochairs of this year’s Upstate Heart Ball. “For my side, I lost my father to heart disease,” Dirk Pieper said. “So, it is always a challenge when you experience that.” Dirk Pieper also lost two close friends in the past two years — one to a heart attack and the other to an aneurysm. Another friend was significantly debilitated by a stroke—despite being young and healthy—and is currently undergoing rehab. “Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in the state,” Dirk Pieper said. Katherine Pieper’s mother and several relatives have heart disease as well. “It has personal meaning in both of our families,” she said. The 2020 Upstate Heart Ball, which is the centerpiece of a yearlong campaign, will be held March 14 and marks the 20th anniversary of the gala. Planners hope the event will raise $1.2 million to go toward research, education, training and awareness about heart disease and stroke.

Live auction co-chair The gala features dinner and dancing and live and silent auctions. The event also honors local heart and stroke survivors or those who have lost their lives to cardiovascular diseases. This years honorees are Hank Bradberry and Trip McCrary. “As far as the honorees being selected, it all kind of happens organically each year,” said Megan Ramsey, director of marketing and communications for the American Heart Association in Greenville. “Heart disease and stroke touches so many people, so community members often share stories with us of those that have been affected.”

I lost my father to heart disease. So, it is always a challenge when you experience that. -Dirk Pieper, co-chair, Upstate Heart Ball

Maggie and Rick Bradberry’s oldest child, Mae, was a Heart Ball honoree in 2015. Knowing there was a 3% chance their second child could also be born with a heart condition, the Bradberrys took a chance when they welcomed Hank into the family. Unfortunately Hank fell into that 3%. Both Bradberry children are thriving despite having heart disease. Trip McCrary inherited ultra-high genetic cholesterol and at 46 years old discovered that four arteries in his heart were more than 90% blocked. Being a frequent exerciser and mainly a vegetarian, he felt he was in good shape. McCrary’s story is relatable to so many in the sense that heart disease can affect anyone at anytime, no matter age or health.

“We are also inviting all of our past honorees to be in attendance as we celebrate our 20th anniversary,” Dirk Pieper said. Those attending the gala will be able to hear the testimonials of current and previous honorees who have survived strokes, heart transplants and heart disease. “It is the driving force that gets people involved,” Dirk Pieper said. The Piepers, along with their executive leadership team, have been preparing for the black-tie event that will host over 900 guests representing medical, business and social groups from the area. “We have a great executive leadership team. They are very energetic, enthusiastic and dedicated to help us reach our goal of raising $1.2 million,” Katherine Pieper said. “Getting people personally involved is what the ball is all about,” Dirk Pieper said. “It is what really drives the funding.” While money is raised through donation or sponsorship to the American Heart Association, there will also be silent and live auctions along with an Open Your Heart appeal where individual donations can be made during the gala. “So many others have given ahead of us and have made Greenville as great as it is,” Katherine Pieper said. “We love Greenville and are glad to have raised our family in such a giving community.”

New virtual reality experience simulates climb to top of Table Rock Mountain

Table Rock State Park now offers virtual reality headsets that give visitors a simulated hike up the mountain. The headsets, made possible by grants and donations from BMW Manufacturing and the family of Greenville County native Tom Presnell, provides a 360-degree virtual reality experience of iconic spots along the Table Rock Trail.

This new service helps us provide an exceptional experience for visitors, especially people who cannot climb 3.6 miles to the top of Table Rock.” -Paul McCormack, director,South Carolina State Park Service

“This new service helps us provide an exceptional experience for visitors, especially people who cannot climb 3.6 miles to the top of Table Rock,” said Paul McCormack, director of the South Carolina State Park Service. “You get to see the scenic views, deep forests and natural beauty of a protected mountainside of the Southern Blue Ridge.” The virtual tour features four iconic stops along the trail — the trailhead at Carrick Creek waterfall, the halfway shelter, Governor’s Rock and the top of Table Rock. Like other virtual-reality experiences, the view changes with the movement of the user. Using headsets made by Oculus, the experience is available free of charge at the Table Rock Visitors Center at 158 E. Ellison Lane in Pickens. For more information, visit www.

As an added service to families seeking alternatives to traditional burials, historic Springwood Cemetery, which opened in 1812, will soon offer a columbarium. The Springwood Cemetery Advisory Committee recently announced plans to construct a columbarium with niches for cremated remains and memorial plaques. The move comes as the demand for cremations is rising, according to the city. “With no burial plots remaining in the cemetery and people increasingly choosing cremation, the need is significant,” said Brandy Mauldin, senior administrative assistant for the city of Greenville Parks and Recreation department.

Other reasons for the shift toward cremation include: Family members are more spread out than they used to be making visits to a burial site more difficult Cremation is more environmentally friendly There are practically endless options on what to do with cremated remains Source: slate.com

In addition, 10 memorial trees and six memorial benches are available for purchase, Mauldin said. The estimated cost of phase one is approximately $640,166, according to the city. This will include site preparation and work, the columbarium structure, benches, trees and the relocation of the sexton’s house to another part of the cemetery. The sexton's house is typically for the cemetery's caretaker, which Springwood no longer has.

With no burial plots remaining in the cemetery and people increasingly choosing cremation, the need is significant.”

-Brandy Mauldin, senior administrative assistant, Greenville Parks and Recreation department “Once all 240 niches in phase one have been sold, the advance sale of niches for phase two will begin,” Mauldin said. “Phase two will consist of 300 niches and 120 memorial wall plaques.” Any funds generated in excess of building and care costs for the columbarium will be used for the maintenance and preservation of the broader cemetery grounds. When Springwood Cemetery began accepting public burials in 1929, it comprised only one acre. Today, the cemetery encompasses 30 acres in the heart of downtown Greenville. The overflow of a spring once passed through the cemetery and is a possible origin for the cemetery’s name. The Springwood Cemetery Advisory Committee works to preserve the history and beauty of the cemetery while raising awareness of the historical significance of the cemetery. It also raises funds for additional capital improvements needed to develop and beautify the cemetery.

WINTER SUPERBLEND™ THE SEASON’S SUPERFOOD FOR YOUR BIRDS

It’s time for big air and cool runs. Temperatures are dropping and Alpine adventure awaits as skiers schuss into the heart of the season. More than half a dozen resorts are a short drive from Greenville, making downhill fun readily accessible for day trips and weekend getaways. “We go up to North Carolina at least two to three times a season,” says lifetime skier and snowboarder Derrick Simons. “You’ve got some really small places that were perfect for the kids when they were starting and then you have bigger places like Sugar and Beech Mountain. The vertical drops off their top lifts are as big as Breckenridge (Colorado’s) big lifts.” Multiple outfits have spent the off-season on upgrades to improve the visitor experience, including new chairlifts, lighting and snowmaking equipment. “We try to put more money into snowmaking improvements each season,” says Andrew Schmitt, marketing director at Cataloochee Ski Area. “It’s our passion. Right now, the snowmaking in January and February is amazing.” This year’s improvements at North Carolina’s original ski area include new, big guns and a retention pond that collects snow melt. That water is fed directly back to the guns on days that heavier snowmaking is needed.

Ever wonder what it takes for wild birds to survive the winter season? Even when temperatures are milder, it takes a lot of energy to make it through winter’s longer hours of darkness. You can help by offering Winter SuperBlend™ available only at Wild Birds Unlimited. It provides a super-boost of energy and fat essential for winter survival. Visit our store to learn how you can help the birds this season.

At Beech Mountain Resort, 17 new light towers have gone up, outfitted with 34 state-of-the-art LED slope lights to improve visibility for night skiers and shredders. Beech, which hosts the highest liftoperated ski terrain in the Eastern U.S., is also wrapping phase one of a two-phase plan that will produce more snow in less time, using less energy. “Snowmaking is the backbone of our business and we’re always focused on ways to increase output,” says resort general manager Ryan Costin. “This project represents a huge expansion of the pumping operation and our ability to maximize snowmaking opportunities.” Construction teams at Beech have renovated the pump house, allowing The Tor-

rent Pump Skid to automatically engage additional pumps, as more guns are needed across the mountain. The system taps into 6,500 feet of new water and air lines, and 8,000 feet of armored electrical cable that will send more juice to fan guns, while supporting new high-tech SMI fan and tower guns. Bottom line: Those who like “freshies” are in luck — skiers will see more snow! Anniversary bells are ringing at Sugar Mountain near Banner Elk, as the resort celebrates 50 years by picking up the pace. A new, Silver Bullet chairlift by Doppelmayr has replaced the old Easy Street lift. The detachable quad has cut ride time from six to 2.5 minutes, with the ability to carry an additional 700 passengers up the mountain each hour. “Replacing the original Easy Street lift is not just an upgrade,” says Sugar Mountain Resort owner Gunther Jochl. “It is an example of the continued commitment to offering our guests an exceptional mountain experience.” Off-slope amenities are just as important as the runs for families with snow bunnies who are more interested in the show than the snow. Cataloochee crews have retrofitted an 8,000-square-foot facility between the lodge and ski school for greater use and comfort. “It used to house our big machine groomer,” Schmitt says. “We moved the groomer up the hill and this space now provides extra seating and keeps lines indoors, so folks won’t have to stand out in the weather. This also makes the lodge more spacious.” To enhance visits, Appalachian Ski Mountain has added road maintenance equipment to clear parking lots faster, a new guest-registration system for tickets sales at the base lodge, as well as phone-charging stations. At Beech, the youngest of mountain minors can now frolic in the newly renovated Snowflakes Childcare Center. As 2020 kicks off, a blanket of white covers Whistling Dixie, Boulderdash and dozens of runs across western North Carolina. Whether skiers and boarders rock the greens or bash the back bowls, it’s time to grab your gloves and hit the slopes.

HISTORIC PLACES

Simpsonville Baptist Church

Widely known throughout the Upstate for the beautiful stained glass windows, "Our Savior Knocking on the Door" and "The Lost Sheep."

n story by KIMBERLY COLLIER

The Simpsonville Baptist Church, constructed 1913-1914, is a significant piece of the Upstate's history. Luther D. Proffitt, Spartanburg architect, designed the early twentieth century church chiefly in the Romanesque Revival style. The church also contains elements of both Moorish and Gothic Revival architecture. The church is a two-story, five bay brick structure with twin towers in stepped, convex-shaped fashion. There are numerous round-headed stained glass windows, each highlighted by a rubbed brick arch. The most celebrated features of the church are the two large pictorial stained glass windows on the west and south eleva-

tions. The church has been known for many years throughout the upstate as “The Friendly Church with Beautiful Windows.” The subjects depicted in these windows are believed to be taken from the work of Holman Hunt, an English artist known for painting biblical scenes. They are entitled “Our Savior Knocking on the Door” and “The Lost Sheep.” The church is now known as First Baptist Simpsonville and offers multiple locations for ministry opportunities. The "downtown" campus at 3 Hedge Street in Simpsonville was listed in the National Register on October 13, 1992. The original listed address in the National Register for the church is 106 Church Street, Simpsonville.

THE BEGINNINGS OF FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF SIMPSONVILLE The beginnings of the church started with a Sunday School class held in a school building on April 1, 1887 and incorporated as a church in November of 1888 with 24 members. The historic church building was completed in May of 1914 with a total cost, including furnishings, of approximately $19,000. Source: South Carolina Department of Archives and History and fbsimpsonville.org

Limitless Instructor teaches students to Dance Without Limits n story by ARIEL TURNER | photos PROVIDED

eth Bradley is the oldest of 18 children. Only two are her biological siblings, and all of the remaining 15 are considered special needs of varying levels of physical and mental abilities. Bradley’s parents began adopting children in need when she was 10 years old, adding a new sibling each year after. She

learned quickly to change diapers and even how to use a feeding tube by the time she was a teenager. As she grew older, her resentment for the amount of responsibility she was expected to undertake also grew. As an adult, though, she’s grateful. “None of it was my decision. It’s not really my story, but it shaped who I am,” Bradley says. Through those difficult years, dance became a haven for her, and now she’s using it to help others. Bradley, who founded Dance Without Limits dance studio in Greer where her three daughters now dance, has created a teaching environment inclusive of all abilities, something that is a rarity in the often competitive and high-pressure dance world.

They’re just kids like every other kid and they can learn to dance like any other kid.” -Beth Bradley, owner/instructor, Dance Without Limits 28

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // JANUARY 10

“We’ve been able to create a place for kids that didn’t have a place before,” Bradley says. Each class can accommodate students with developmental and physical delays to a certain degree, with the “limitless friends” class specifically for dancers with more acute needs. The model has been so successful that after three years in the current location at 2105 Old Spartanburg Road, the studio needs to move to a larger space. The new location spanning three storefronts at 115 Pelham Road, Suite 24, is under construction. It has twice the square footage as the old spot and three dance rooms instead of one. “We opened with 30 kids,” Bradley says. “We have 335 students now, and they just keep showing up, which I’m so thankful for.” Bradley began dancing at 4 years old in the same studio she would eventually coown and run in her hometown of Hendersonville, North Carolina, before opening Dance Without Limits in Greenville in 2016. It wasn’t her idea, though, to add classes for students with disabilities.

“I did it because my mom told me to,” she says. Her mom wanted Bradley to offer a dance class for her siblings. She says she had to learn how to teach kids who move differently and how to make instructions tangible for them. “I learned how fully capable they are,” she says. “They’re just kids like every other kid and they can learn to dance like any other kid.” After moving to Greenville in 2014 for her husband’s job, she continued commuting to Hendersonville to teach. She eventually had enough of the driving and decided to open a studio in Greenville, thinking naively ‘this will be easy.’ “If I had known what I know now, I wouldn’t have ever done it,” she says. Word of mouth and a crash course in social media marketing led to significant growth after the first few months. And now she’s taking what she considers another big risk with the new location, but she knows she can do it. “When I find something I’m all about, I’m all about it,” she says.

TRY SOMETHING NEW THIS YEAR

Branford Marsalis brings his Quartet to the Peace Center

n story by VINCENT HARRIS | photo PROVIDED

The Grammy-awardwinning saxophonist, bandleader and composer Branford Marsalis has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music over his nearly 40-year career. And we’re not just talking about jazz artists, either. In addition to jazz masters like Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins and his younger brother Wynton, Marsalis has worked with Sting, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Hornsby and the Grateful Dead, among many others. Marsalis has also moved into the classical music realm, working with the New York Philharmonic, Philharmonia Brasileira and the North Carolina Symphony. But despite all of those high-profile collaborations, he always returns to his trusty quartet at some point, an adventurous group of players that has been together in one form or another since the mid-1980s.

When I first told you about the Upstate Music Awards in November, I didn’t know what to expect. I knew that I was excited about the idea that Future Chord’s Jeremy Theall and the Radio Room’s Wes Gilliam brought to me, the idea of honoring musicians making original music in our area. And I knew I was honored that they wanted to make me part of it. But I wasn’t sure how much of a response the awards would get. I wasn’t sure if the Upstate music scene was going to be as excited about it as I was. Truth be told, I had my doubts about whether this fantastic idea would even get off of the ground. But our music scene and the Upstate as a whole have given us a resounding response. Between Nov. 27 when the Upstate Music Awards website debuted, and Dec. 27, when the nomination period ended, more than 400 submissions from artists and fans were received. We have nominees from just about every genre, including country, rock, folk, hip-hop and electronic dance music. There are scores of EPs, full-length albums and music videos vying for the Best Of honors, and dozens of artists up for various awards, from Best Solo Act to Best Live Act to the 864 Award, which honors community service and advocacy. There are people up for awards who I’ve been covering for years mixed with artists I’d never spoken with before. There are rappers sitting alongside purecountry singers, and DJs in the same categories as folk singer-songwriters. The field is as wide as the music scene itself, which is about all you can ask for when you try something like this. And local businesses have taken notice. My wonderful colleagues at the Greenville Journal were the first to join as partners, and we were soon able to form additional partnerships with the radio stations Hot 98.1, 107.3 Jamz, X98.5 and 99.5 JACK FM. And we connected with our generous sponsors, Brando Jones Films, The Community Tap, The Artistry, iOnGreenville,

Elberon Amplifiers, Radio Room, Bo Stegall The Salon, Crescent Mortgage Co. and the Chapman Cultural Center. In short, the response has been overwhelming, and I’m very grateful to every artist and fan who visited UpstateMusicAwards.com and submitted. Now you come through for us, and for your favorite musicians, one more time. We’ve opened up the voting on the UMA site, and you’ll be able to vote on your favorites in our 13 categories until Jan. 23. You can vote once a day up until the 23rd, and we want you to tell every local music lover you know that they can make their voices heard about who makes the best original music in the Upstate. We’ll name the top five finalists in each category at the beginning of February, and then announce the winners at an awards ceremony on March 1 at ZenAn Elegant Place For Hire in Greenville. We’ll have more details on that event soon, but for now, you’ve got until the 23rd to log on, vote and put your favorites at the top of their categories. It’s a wonderful thing to see the Upstate take an interest in local, original music; your response has shown us, our partners and sponsors that it’s the right time. So go forth and vote. Let’s do this.

VOTING Visit UpstateMusicAwards.com to vote. You can submit your votes once a day. Voting is open until JAN. 23. Top 5 Finalists for each category will be announced at the beginning of Feb. Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on March 1 at Zen.

PAUL'S PICK

Greenville pianist takes on all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas in 2020 PAUL HYDE Contributor

For Greenville pianist Zachary Hughes, performing all the Beethoven piano sonatas from memory is “like climbing Everest.” The 32 solo piano works span 600 pages and 11 hours of music. “It’s a little terrifying,” Hughes said, with a laugh, “but it wouldn’t be worth doing if it wasn’t.” The 27-year-old Juilliard grad will take on the sonatas in 2020 in a project he has dubbed “The Beethoven Odyssey.” Hughes will perform two, three or even four of the works in each of 13 recitals, scheduled January through November. The first concert in the series (featuring sonatas 1 and 3) takes place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 12 at the Greenville Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. The next in the series (sonatas 2 and 4) follows on Feb. 9. The recitals, admission-free with a suggested donation, are part of the worldwide celebrations of the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. (In April, the Greenville Symphony offers its contribution with Beethoven’s beloved Ninth Symphony.) Hughes, the former principal keyboardist with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, has set aside other professional commitments to devote himself full time in 2020 to mastering the sonatas. “I’ll be living and breathing Beethoven,” he said.

Beethoven’s sonatas are considered the great German composer’s most personal musical expressions. They’re among the most challenging works in the solo piano repertoire. “This project is by far the most ambitious thing I’ve done in my life,” Hughes said. Beethoven composed the works over 27 years, beginning in 1795. The early sonatas certainly are difficult, but the later pieces require nothing less than a virtuoso’s technique. They span a range of emotion, from romantic angst to ethereal serenity. Perhaps the best-known is the Sonata No. 14, the “Moonlight” Sonata. “Beethoven wrote his ‘autobiography,’ and we have it in his sonatas,” Hughes said. “We see Beethoven the man very clearly. At the same time, every person can see themselves in these sonatas. They go through all of human emotional experience.”

AN ‘UNPLAYABLE’ PIECE

At least one of the works, Sonata No. 29 (subtitled “Hammerklavier”), was considered so difficult as to be unplayable until Franz Liszt picked it up a few years after Beethoven’s death and showed it could be done. “It was the four-minute mile of classical music,” Hughes said of Sonata No. 29. “Everyone thought it was impossible for a human being to run a four-minute mile until Roger Bannister did it, and then many others followed.” Hughes already has played some of the most challenging sonatas, including No. 29. “If I hadn’t played ‘Hammerklavier,’ I don’t know if I would have attempted these concerts,” Hughes said. “You don’t just learn ‘Hammerklavier.’ It takes years to settle in.”

LONGTIME DREAM

Hughes, who was born in the small California town of Los Osos, first fell in love with the Beethoven sonatas when he was a young pianist of 13. At a concert, he heard the Sonata No. 23, the “Appassionata” — and it’s still his favorite. “That was the first live piano concert I went to,” he said. “It just floored me. I didn’t know piano playing like that was possible. I didn’t know there was music out there like that. “Since that time, it has been a dream of mine to play all of the Beethoven sonatas.”

what we're SEEING PHAT LIP

AT THE RADIO ROOM Phat Lip is a perfect-fit combination of singer Kelly Jo Ramirez’s passionate, explosive voice and a modern-day version of the Latin pop she loved as a child. Even the ballads on the band’s debut EP, “Vision,” have an irresistible propulsion, settling into relentless head-nodding grooves that seem to deepen as the songs progress and becoming almost hypnotic on the slow, sensual grind of “Most Beautiful Girl,” one of the hottest unrequited love songs you’re likely to hear this or any other year. Add Ramirez’s endlessly inventive, relentlessly powerful voice, and Phat Lip’s live show is a banquet of incredible musical skills combined with great Latin-pop songs.

For 20 years, executive chef Shaun Garcia of Soby’s New South Cuisine has gone to the same (unnamed) local restaurant to order the same (also undisclosed) menu item. “I went there for that dish,” he says. “I didn’t go there to see what the special hot trend, new dish was.” And the realization that his customers likely feel the same way has quelled the instinctual chef 's desire to change up Soby’s offerings too often. “I had to look at it from a customer and consumer point of view,” he said. It’s a difficult balance to strike for chefs, weighing their own creativity, customer satisfaction and maximizing profits. Especially in an industry currently dominated by the daily changing chalkboard menu trend, local, non-chain restaurants resisting the fad takes a special resolve. But it also means earning customer loyalty that will be quickly removed if certain menu items disappear. Larkin’s on the River recently underwent such a change. In December, executive vice president and culinary director Adam Hayes instituted the first whole menu change in 15 years. “As a chef, how do I keep what our loyal guests are accustomed to and add new items?” he asks.

To write a menu, you have to think of everything, and the guest will remind you about what you forgot.” -Adam Hayes, executive vice president and culinary director, Larkin’s on the River The answer involves running reports, assessing kitchen talent, listening to customer feedback and much more. Garcia recalls six years ago altering the spicy pimiento cheese and fried pita to make it healthier with a different cracker, thinking guests would appreciate that. Customer response said otherwise. “Sometimes it doesn’t matter what the chef wants to make,” he says. “It’s what the customers want to buy.” Those signature items are determined by sales numbers: the fried goat cheese balls at The Lazy Goat, the fried green tomatoes at Soby’s or the she crab soup and arugula goat cheese salad at Larkin’s. “It’s one of those things that if I have to hire a new chef, they need to know this much of the menu is not yours to control,” says Rodney Freidank, Table 301 corporate chef.
