Get out! Get out! From 3 p.m. to 3.a.m., Wilton Drive will be closed from Northeast 21 Court (near Gables Wilton Park and The Naked Grape) to Five Points.
Village of the (Hot) Damned The festivities for Wicked Wilton 2012: Fairy Tales commence at 6 p.m., when the Children of the Night take to the streets. The party continues until midnight on the street and in the area businesses, and after midnight, the party goes on in the local bars and nightclubs, many of which have extended their closing times until 3 a.m. (check with individual bars for extended hours of operation, if any).
Have You Checked the Children? There will be events and costume contests held up and down the drive all night long, starting at 6 p.m. with a pet costume contest at Georgie’s Alibi hosted by Florida’s own Dame Edna. Dress to kill—or be killed!—and strut your stiff—er, stuff, down the Boulevard of Lost Souls to these cranking Costume Competitions:

Extra parking has been arranged at various locations around Wilton Manors for a flat fee of $10, which will allow you to park for the duration of the festivities.

The 180-room oceanfront resort will play host to the six-day event, which runs from March 6 to 11, 2013.

Rates start at $219 per night for a “standard” room, $499 per night for a two-bedroom, poolside townhouse, and— hello, Sugar Daddy!—$3K per night for an überluxury 2,500-square-foot penthouse.

et’s be clear: The Scene LOVES Kelly
Clarkson. She has the voice of an angel, the sass and ’tude of a woman many—at least three—years her senior, and a pretty good book of business for a young lady barely out of her 20s. (We can only hope that WE look that good when we turn 30. Moving on…) It’s been almost a year since the “Republican at heart” Clarkson announced her support for then-GOP presidential hopeful (and Sacha Baron Cohen fave) Ron Paul. Now KC is “complicating” her life by throwing her “political muscle” behind President Barack Obama. Clarkson told the UK Daily Star, “I’ve been reading online about the debates and I’m probably going to vote for Obama again,” adding, “I can’t support Romney’s policies as I have a lot of gay friends, and I don’t think it’s fair they can’t get married.” The first-ever “American Idol” also said, “Obama is a great guy. I’ve met him and I’m a fan of Michelle, too.” Last December, during the flap over her Paul endorsement, Clarkson tweeted: “I am really sorry if I have offended anyone. Obviously that was not my intent. I do not support racism. I support gay rights, straight rights, women’s rights, men’s rights, white/black/purple/orange rights.”
She’s Called a
Ellen DeGeneres’ “Drag King” Gay Rights Efforts Honored with Mark Twain Prize
O
n
Monday,
comedian and
television pioneer Ellen DeGeneres was honored at a reception, following her accepting the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. During an event taped for PBS, DeGeneres, 54, quipped about GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s plan to cut funding for the public television network. “Thanks to everyone at PBS,” she said. “I am so happy to be part of your farewell season.” DeGeneres made history in 1997 when her sitcom character—also named “Ellen”—“came out” (shortly after the star herself did), the first time for a lead character on primetime TV. DeGeneres—a Louisiana native whose first big break came during a 1986 performance on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson”—was praised for opening doors for gay characters to become mainstream in pop culture. “Glee” star Jane Lynch lauded DeGeneres for paving the way for other open actors. “I’m pretty darn sure I could not have the career I have, that I could not live as openly as I’ve lived, if it hadn’t been for you,” said Lynch. Said Jimmy Kimmel, “For a lot of people Ellen is their only homosexual friend. She’s there in their living room every single day.” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” has won 35 Daytime Emmy Awards since it premiered in 2003. AND, she’s married to Portia de Rossi—uh, yeah!
O
n a recent installment
of the ABC info-ality series “What Would You Do?” with John Quinones, a faux-“quandary” was presented in which a 7-year-old boy wanted to dress as a princess for Halloween. After rejecting boyish superhero outfits, the tyke “insisted” that he be allowed to deck himself as Belle from the Disney feature “Beauty and the Beast.” The fun starts when other parents and kids offer their two-cents-worth—and then a “real” 9-year-old girl insists that she be allowed to wear a boy’s costume. Funny, this was never an issue in my house…
CBS Shoots Down
“Squirt”
A
new billboard ad campaign by a gay
hookup site has been banned by CBS Outdoor Advertising. Squirt—which is trying to carve a niche in the market currently shared by Grindr, Adam 4 Adam, Manhunt, and others—recently launched a mobile app, with a concurrent ad campaign to promote it. A graphic which featured a barely nude hottie sporting a QR code and the phrase, “scan it and see the rest” was vetoed by the billboard company. “They weren’t objecting to Squirt,” spokesman Jeffrey Freeman said. “It was the nature of the campaign they didn’t take to.” A subsequent swing at the bat by the creative department was also overruled by CBS, which informed Squirt that they didn’t “feel comfortable posting the ad as is.” Even in this modern age, it’s apparently still tough to “Squirt a blow for Liberty.” guymag.net

Alfresco a la Autumn By ADAM STRONG
T
his past week was proof-positive that autumn in South Florida is finally here! That means it is the perfect time to move your indoor fun—well, some of it, anyway—to the great outdoors (or at least as far “outdoors” as your back yard, or maybe the screened-in balcony). To truly take advantage of this gifted sweater-weather is to try your hand at alfresco entertaining. As we have said before, alfresco (from the Italian words al fresco, or “outside,” at “a fresh temperature”) is a fancy term for eating outside. Alfresco dining is casual, and often partylike, making it a perfect option for entertaining friends at home, especially when you’re feeling casual. (And did I happen to mention the word “sweater?”)
Glow In The Dark
The simple pleasure of dining outdoors in the open–air atmosphere provides an ambience that’s instantly relaxing. If you happen to own—or have access to—a lawn or other green, grassy spot, there’s no better spot to “plant your flag” and plan a “cool” and relaxing autumnal soiree, including dining by candlelight with trees and stars as your backdrop (how’s that for romantic, Tiger?)

Feel This Moment
An alfresco dinner setting should invoke the outdoors, with the table and chairs inspired by vines, peonies, and rustic-looking, vintage finds gathered from local thrift stores and flea markets. Use burlap placemats, and scatter Pimm’s cupsized vases, filled with soft-colored flowers. Use candles to light the dining area—a gazebo would be perfect for this—and make a candelabra that has vines (preferably real ones) wrapped around it. Cream-colored plates and light-green-toned glasses complete the look au natural.
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
You don’t have to break the bank—or your back—to enjoy an alfresco meal that’s both fun and delicious. A pasta dinner in which you invite your guests to combine their preferred herbs and sauces—not to mention meats and side edibles— is both engaging and fun. Serve pitchers of iced sangria (like the recipe in our April 26, 2012 feature, “Celebra el Cinco de Mayo!”), and kick things off with an assortment of grilled crostini (Italian for “little toasts”) with delicious toppings, like this delicious grilled eggplant and ricotta starter.
Nothing evokes rustic alfresco eating like a tasty Mystic Pizza
The perfect alfresco starter: Grilled Eggplant and Ricotta Costini
INGREDIENTS • 1 medium eggplant, cut lengthwise into ½-inch slices • ½ cup of ricotta cheese • 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar • 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped oregano leaves • ¼ cup of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (grated parmesan cheese works, too) • 1 baguette (Italian or French bread), cut into ½-inch slices • 2 garlic cloves • Extra virgin olive oil • Pinch of crushed red pepper • Salt Preheat grill. Brush each eggplant slice well with olive oil, and sprinkle well with salt. Place eggplant slices on the preheated grill, cooking each one on both sides until the eggplant is soft and pliable, and is nicely charred. Remove from grill, and let cool. When eggplant is cool enough to touch, chop it up coarsely, and place the pieces in a large mixing bowl. Add ricotta, vinegar, oregano, Parmigiano, and crushed red pepper, and combine. Season with salt. While grill is still hot, grill the baguette slices on both sides. Remove bread, and rub each piece with a raw garlic clove, and brush them lightly with olive oil. Top each piece of bread with the grilled eggplant mixture. Yummy!
Mystic Pizza
For this affair, pasta should be the “main event,” with your guests possibly bringing their own herbs and sauces to contribute to the occasion. While they get their “noodle” on, keep your own hands busy by grilling a pizza (or several—in fact, I’m thinking one per couple, more if you want to play with the toppings) for a tasty, Tuscan-style appetizer. Homemade pizza on the grill calls for homemade dough, but if time is a factor, you can purchase pizza dough frozen (or partially-cooked crust).
TOPPING INGREDIENTS • 2 medium or 4 small pizza Crusts (homemade or frozen) • 1 tablespoon of olive oil • 1 tablespoon of herbs (fresh or dried) • ½ cup of freshly sliced plum tomatoes • 1 to 2 cups of mozzarella cheese (fresh or regular, grated or sliced) • ½ cup of Parmesan cheese (grated or shaved) • 1 package of sliced pepperoni • 1 cup of precooked mushrooms or sausage • 1 cup of precooked ground beef (seasoned with Italian Seasoning or Complete Seasoning) • ¼ of sliced olives • ¼ cup of jalapeno peppers • Italian Seasoning, or Complete Seasoning (“Condimento Completo”) Preheat the outdoor grill to the hottest setting (about 450 degrees). Roll the pizza dough into an artistic shape. Put the dough on the grill for 2 minutes per side. (The thickness of the dough and the heat of the grill will determine how long, especially if you prefer it crispier, or “doughier.”) Once the dough has grill marks on each side, it’s ready to be TOPPED! (So to speak.) Remove the pizza from the grill, close the lid, and turn off ONE side. Brush the pizzas with olive oil, and transfer them to the side of the grill that is turned off, cover with mozzarella cheese, and bake until the cheese is melted. Add Italian Seasoning or Condimento Completo and toppings, as desired. (Some suggestions include topping one pizza with basil pesto, baby mozzarella balls, and sliced tomatoes, or baby asparagus with sliced ham and Fontina.” You can also set out a variety of toppings—as suggested in the ingredients, above—and let your guests create their own. Enjoy!

101 Ocean Good Food in Need of a Theme
T
By RICHARD DAVID CHAMBERLAIN here is a wonderful restaurant located at 101 Commercial Blvd. in LauderdaleBy-The-Sea, logically dubbed 101 Ocean, since the Atlantic is only 50 yards from its front door. Or it would be, if the restaurant had a real front door. Instead, it has a bar that straddles the corner of Commercial Blvd. and El Mar Drive, a six block corridor that runs adjacent to the sand and butts heads with the Lauderdale-By-The-Sea fishing pier. With plenty of alfresco outdoor seating along the sidewalk, even those who select to remain undercover become one with the elements, since walls made of air provide little in the way of theme. On one interior wall, there’s a silently running television set behind a waterfall, and a fish tank that showcases tropical color—both at odds with setting a mood. Flat screens over the open-air lounge suggest a sports bar, while the inside tables strive for something more intimate, if open-air intimacy is possible. Where 101 Ocean excels is in its food, prepared under the skilled hand of executive 101 Ocean’s Pan chef Chris Magielnicki. Roasted Salmon His Pan Roasted Salmon is perfectly tasty ($23) is a perfectly turned and juicy serving of fish with a delightful side order of orzo, accented with pine nuts and toasted parmesan along with garlicstudded green beans. It is a triumph of delicate flavors. Heartier appetites will find their mark with the Osso Buco ($23). Traditionally made with veal, the 101 Ocean version substitutes pork shank, with the dense bone adding an extraordinary flavor to the caramelized juices. You’ll forget that this is basically pork pot roast when you’re savoring the taste combined with Yukon gold mashed potatoes. The fiery spice of chilies adds a zest to the marinara in the house specialty Shrimp Fra Diavolo. A heaping bowl of al dente angel hair pasta is topped with sautéed shrimp and basil in this part-Italian, allpiquant dish that is bargain-priced at $19. Try it once and you’ll definitely order this star again.

Those watching their weight should find comfort in the Goat Cheese & Beet Salad ($14), which is a colorful blend of creamy goat cheese and thickly sliced yellow beets, mixed baby greens, plus sweet and spicy pecans, all tossed in a delicious lemonthyme vinaigrette that will fill you up without filling you out. Less dietetic but who can resist: the Warm Tenderloin Salad ($16) matches sautéed sliced tenderloin and red onions, with mesclun greens, candied walnuts, gorgonzola, and housemade balsamic vinaigrette. Attorney Chris Mancini, who knows all things legal, swears by the grilled Fresh Mahi Sandwich ($14), served with an oh-so-spicy rémoulade with wilted spinach on a warm brioche bun. There isn’t a better sandwich on the menu, though the competition is steep with steak, crab cake, Kobe burger, and grilled chicken trying for honors. All of which brings us back to the theme. This mix of all things delicious also adds a raw bar— presenting peel-and-eat shrimp, middleneck clams, blue point oysters, and Prince Edward Island mussels. Then there’s the pizza and the flatbreads. And lest we forget, an assortment of appetizers of which our favorite is the Fried Calamari ($13) with a perfectly sweet Thai chili sauce. There’s great frozen margaritas ($8) at the full bar courtesy of Miss Vicky. And don’t forget to tell her Guy Magazine sent you.

Uncle Manley’s
Guy’s Guide to
Kissing T
By MANLEY GUY he one and only piece of sex advice I ever got from my Dad—before I made him change the subject—was, “Son, the tongue is not a wash rag.” (Growing up in a repressed High Church Episcopalian family, I had the good sense and taste not to confirm with Mom the truth of Dad’s technique.) Equally apropos is something a wise go-go dancer once told me: “A kiss is more intimate than a @#%! and a hot kiss is even hotter than a hot @#%!” Which means that if you want to personally test the truth of both of those claims, then you need to get your kissing game in order. Understand that there’s no such thing as a “perfect kiss,” since each kiss can be perfect of itself, and every kiss that is shared between a couple is special, regardless of whether you’re going for romantic or pants-dampening sexy.
Shut Up and Kiss Me It stands to reason that what you consider to be a great kiss might not have the same definition for someone else. Some universal tips that will help you get your game on, Sir Smoochalot. SMOOTH OPERATOR Use a damp toothbrush to exfoliate your lips, and keep those smackers plump and juicy with regular use of lip balm (which also prevents chapped lips). BREATHLESS No garlic or onion at least ONE FULL DAY before you plan on smacking someone special on the lips. True Story: These odors originate in the lungs, not in the mouth, and can last for up to TWO ENTIRE DAYS, something that Binaca or Double Mint won’t erase.

LEMON, FRESH Despite the no-garlic-rule, you should still take care that whatever odors you can fight are kept at bay. Anything that has a strong taste—like eggs, or pepper, or flavored meats— should be treated by popping a piece of lemon or lime into your mouth and chewing it up (you’re a big boy now, so tough it up) or a piece of parsley (this is after all what it’s doing on the plate in the first place). YOUR BODY, MY BODY, EVERYBODY That fresh, kissy mouth should be accompanied by the freshest bod you can conjure, but just make sure you don’t get loose with the douche or Eau de Parfum—this can have the opposite effect of what we’re going for, Cyrano. A KISS IS STILL A KISS A kiss should fit the occasion. A good night kiss can be passionate, but always evocative of tenderness. The smack you lay on the lips of the hottie on the Tea Cruise should build heat as part of—you hope—foreplay, and better (and bigger) things to come. Affectionate kisses are short, closed-mouth, and can be viewed by children (or your grandmother). Never forget that your partner’s needs and wants must be at the top of your list. Don’t kiss thoughtlessly! If your mouth is too cold—say, from eating gelato, or drinking something icy—let it hit room temperature before you move in for the kill. Don’t take a bite of your donut before smacking your bf on the lips. And never reach in for one with a mouthful of toothpaste breath.
Kiss Me Deadly You have now entered the Holy of Holies, young disciple. Master Manley will now impart to you the wisdom that has eluded millions of men who have lived and died before you: The perfect way to kiss, and keep ’em coming back for more of the same. A passionate kiss is one that is best performed with a mouth that is partly-opened; the best ones last longer than a minute. This is a kiss that builds memories. Help things along by wearing a lip gloss that contains an emollient, but which won’t overpower—or worse, become the subject of— the kiss. The world’s greatest kissers live entirely in that moment—both physically and emotionally— and provide a sensual invitation for their partner to get lost in the experience with them.
Speaking in Tongues You’ve been wondering when we would get inside your mouth. Fair enough. The best tongue kissing mimics foreplay (and real sex). Passionate kisses can cement deep connections. They tell your partner, “I trust you,” and “I want more of you.” Although deep, penetrating, passionate kisses can use the tongue, it isn’t necessary to overwhelm your kissing-partner with the whole enchilada all at once, or for prolonged periods. Teasing is the true art of the coquette: The give, and the pullback.
The Moves Like Jagger Being in the (kissing) moment means a lot more than focusing on how much lip or tongue pressure to use (although once you’re expert at it, that becomes second nature). Use your body to enhance the kissing experience. Run your hands on your partner’s neck and face (being sensitive to his individual “touching” sensibilities). Move your fingers through his hair and down the length of his back. This is about passion and the lips are just the opening act (so to speak). Nibble. Enough said. Tilt your head for maximum comfort for both of you. Being in the moment means subtly checking to see what feels good, and what feels right. Remember to communicate—both physically and verbally—with your kissing partner so you’ll know what each of you likes. Some people like to be bitten, some don’t. Don’t be offended or turned off if you don’t hit it right with the first kiss. There’s always time to regroup. Pay attention to the important things like your breath and the condition of your lips, but don’t over think things to the point of paralysis. You don’t want to be such a “rules lawyer” that you miss out on all the fun that comes from experiencing the best kisses.

Ride a Train
Y
ears ago, a physician friend of mine told me about a train trip he and another pal had taken cross-country. He regaled me with anecdotes about “the wretched hive of scum and villainy” he met—yes, that was a direct quote from “Star Wars,” but it captures the essence, and how rewarding a time He & Co. enjoyed. (Years later, I found out that the “Doc”— who had also claimed to be cousins with Frank Sinatra, or Shecky Green, or somebody—hadn’t been an M.D. at all, but a con artist of the first order: Talk about your “scum and villainy.”) But the idea of a romantic, even adventurous trip by rail (a la the Orient Express, “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles,” and similar literary and cinematic hokum) got into my head and planted itself (like the LOTTO numbers I’ve been playing since Reagan’s first term). Amtrak—America’s Choo-Choo Train!—has an app to help you plan and book travel, check train status, use an eTicket, and instantly change reservations from the convenience of an Android device. Amtrak for Android has similar features to those found in the Amtrak iPhone app, including buying an eTicket directly over the device, and canceling or exchanging the same ticket. It also includes expanded station information. (The Amtrak iPhone app has been downloaded more than one million times since its launch.)

Save Them All? No,
Save Yourself! I
think it’s pretty safe to say that if there’s an app game that involves slaying—or whatever—the undead (or anything else, for that matter), my bf Proculus has tickled the keypad in his ever-sounofficial-playtester sort of way. Add to the list of “Stupid Zombies” (not to mention “Bad Piggies” and “Angry Birds”) “Save Them All,” a new slant on an old theme, in which the world is ending, and you spend the “App-ocalypse” leaping from building to building while trying to avoid obstacles like meteorites, missiles, and—wait for it—zombies. As the name implies, your mission is to save as many humans as you possible, in order to earn points (and to claim your place in the Zombiekilling pantheon, along with Alice from “Resident Evil” and Ash in the “Evil Dead”). Unlike other running games, Save Them All lets you earn superpowers over time (through a cool comic-based storyline). The game lets you engage a “bullet time” feature that slows things down, enabling you to avoid obstacles, jump farther, and in general better kick zombie snot. The controls are simple but include some neat twists to keep you—and Procky—engaged, until the next new thing comes along (in around 6 minutes). SAVE YOURSELF: $1.

PART II: The Clubs, The Bars, and the Grub
By ROBERT ELIAS DEATON
here are those who would argue that Washington, DC has some of the best international restaurants in the world. And given the number of international power brokers who call “The District” home, we have to agree. The Dupont Circle gayborhood boasts two of our favorites—both can’t-miss experiences for completely different Komi reasons. Komi (1509 17th St. NW between P & Q Streets NW) offers up a prix fixe food tasting at $135 per. The ownerchef here is cute-as-a-button Johnny Monis who offers up a constantly varied palate of orgasmically delicious mezzethakia—small plates that run through Monis’ Greek roots in an assortment that would be equally at home in an Aegean trattoria. Reservations are a must (202-332-9200), and have to be made at least a month in advance, regardless of how important you think you are. A popular gay hangout for decades, Annie’s Paramount Steakhouse (1609 17th St. NW between R & Q Streets NW) has been in business since God called for resting on the seventh day. Annie’s is a venerable institution where the good food takes a back seat to the wash of famous customers, most of whom have gay underpinnings. Easily our favorite item on the menu is Annie’s Famous “Bull in the Pan” ($15.95). It’s tenderloin tips of beef, marinated in herbs and spices and served sizzling hot. A double order is called a “Double Bull” and runs $24.95. Yes, they’re that good. One of the most famous bars in the city is right down the street. JR’s Bar & Grill (1519 17th St. NW between P & Q Streets) where the crowd starts buzzing around 6 p.m. and doesn’t quit until well after 1 a.m. Word of caution: the cutest guys in the place typically end up being Republicans, so prepare to deal with all that entails or just keep moving. Two blocks away from Nationals’ Stadium (home of the Major League East Champions) look for Ziegfeld’s/Secrets (1824 Half St. SW). This is DC’s

headquarters for drag shows—the Ziegfeld part; and for nude male strippers—the Secrets section. There’s a $5 cover charge before 10:30 p.m., and a $10 cover charge afterward. This two-level entertainment emporium has been called “the Smithsonian of penises,” or at least the Secrets floor has. For the leather/bear crowd, the DC Eagle (639 New York Ave. NW between 6th and 7th Streets NW) gives a pretty good impression of its old self when sex was to be had in the distant corners of the dimly-lit upper floors. Like many leather bars, the Eagle is located in a dicey neighborhood a stone’s throw from the Convention Center. The bar is celebrating its 41st anniversary November 16, beginning at 12 a.m. and continuing through the weekend. The District’s largest club is Town Danceboutique (2009 8th St. NW at U St. NW), which packs dancers body to body on Friday and Saturday nights. Doors open at 10 p.m. to the public, though on Friday nights beginning at 6 p.m., the DC Bear Crue hosts Bear Happy Hour until 11 Town Danceboutique p.m. There’s no cover until 9:30. After 11 p.m. on Fridays, expect to pay $10. Add an extra $2 on Saturday. With multiple levels, drag shows, a cabaret lounge, and high energy, it’s worth every penny. Smokers are asked to step outside before infiltrating their lungs, allowing everyone else to breathe easily. It’s the way things are done in our nation’s capital.

FIGHTING
FATIGUE
W
By ANDY KRESS
e’ve all had a case of the blahs, that combination of tiredness and weakness known as fatigue. You are not alone. Current studies show Americans are sleeping less hours per night then at any other time in their history. The reason is routinely laid off on a heavier than usual work schedule (prompted by a slow economy) The good news is that functioning while fatigued for a short amount of time is generally bearable and can easily be fixed with a little rest. Functioning under fatigue for extended periods of time, however, is a serious health problem and should be a cause of major concern. Continuous fatigue requires a more comprehensive plan than just getting a bit more shut eye. This plan is important to follow because those who are chronically fatigued are a threat not only to themselves, but also to the people around them. Become fatigued, and watch every human process slow down or stop. The brain’s reaction time is severely affected, resulting in unnecessary accidents on the roads and in the workplace. These accidents have a detrimental effect on the economy by raising healthcare costs and auto insurance across the United States. Officially, fatigue can be caused by both mental and physical conditions. On the mental health side, many chronically fatigued people are those who have a compulsive or perfectionist type of character. They feel they cannot stop until the job is done, no matter how big it is or how tired they may be. A company implicating mandatory overtime is small compared to a perfectionist who is not happy with his or her work. Either way, the result is a fatigued worker. As far as physical health is concerned, diet is the chief contributing factor, and often overlooked as a cause of fatigue. Fatigue created by improper eating habits lowers vitality and energy. Fatigue is the first

implication that the body’s cells are not getting sufficient energy from its food. Eating a healthier diet is an easy way to help the body break free from fatigue’s harsh grip. Choosing certain food groups will help the body recover faster than others. Choosing foods that are high in certain types of vitamins will also help the body fight off fatigue faster, as well. People who chronically experience fatigue should start eating a diet that is varied and that complies with the aspects of the national pyramid plate. Eating the proper portion size at the right time of day is imperative to fighting fatigue, as well. Choosing foods rich in B vitamins will give you a faster recovery-time. These foods would be wheat and other whole grain cereals, green leafy vegetables, un-polished rice, milk, bananas, nuts, pulses, peas and yeast. Potassium found in raw green vegetables is helpful in fighting fatigue. Foods high in calcium help prevent insomnia and tension, both major contributors to fatigue. Sodium and zinc are also beneficial as well. Carrots, beets and cucumbers are a great choice, especially if you are juicing a few meals. There are a few things that you should avoid if you are feeling fatigued. Eliminate any vitality crutches from your diet immediately. They offer only a temporary spike in energy, and the subsequent recoil reaction is further fatigue. This includes caffeine, tranquilizers and other drugs, coffee and alcohol, sugary and sweet snacks, as well as smoking. These items will only give temporary boosts for this long-term condition and may be even more harmful after time. Eat right; eat smart; and send fatigue packing on the next bus outta town.

The Cubby Hole
A Butch Little Local Landmark
O
By DALE MADISON nce upon a time, there was a legendary little watering hole near Sears Town called Lester’s Bar (it had first been called SyLa’s, after the original owners, but it underwent a name change in 1949). Around 1990, the landmark lounge was purchased by a customer, John Hitchcock (who was a big fan of the joint’s freshly-made hamburgers). Rechristening it the Cubby Hole, Hitchcock was the steward of the heritage establishment for 15 years before deciding to put it on the market. Enter Teri Galardi and Gary Edmiston. “We looked at large clubs in Wilton Manors, Fort Lauderdale, and Oakland Park,” recalls Edmiston. “We heard about Cubby Hole, so we stopped in to have a drink and check the place out. We really liked it, and so we put the wheels in motion, and next thing you know Teri bought the place.” There was a lot to attract Galardi and Edmiston to the location. “We really liked the ‘friendly, local watering hole.’ We wanted the bar to have a laid back, comfortable feel,” explains Edmiston. He acknowledges there were concerns when they first took over. “Local drug dealers were hanging out in the back alley. Teri started going to city council meetings, and we spoke to the local police about more patrols. We also installed more security cameras.” Eventually, the bad element got the message that they weren’t welcome. Despite those changes for the better, some things have stayed exactly the same—like the bar’s reputation for great food (including the burgers that

helped “give birth” to it). “Our burger is 1/3-pound of fresh ground sirloin,” Edmiston justifiably brags. “I personally go out and purchase the sirloin every day. Every Friday is hot dog day, so many times I will make a Sloppy Joe sauce to go on the dogs. We really try to show our customers that they are number one to us,” he adds. “We also have the longest happy hour in town. Seven days a week, and customers can use their [free drink] chips anytime. Our philosophy is you should be able to use that chip when you want to use it,” says Edmiston. Edmiston’s emphasis on service and quality date back to his days in uniform, military and culinary. “In 1975, I left the United States Air Force and joined Big Boy Restaurants. I was a manager for years,” he remembers. “I then went to work for a private club in Las Vegas, and then became Assistant Executive Chef at Vegas World Casino.” In Las Vegas, Edmiston began his professional association with Galardi. “I went to work for Teri at the Back Door Club, which was one of the largest gay clubs in Vegas. It was typical for us to have 500 patrons on any given weekend night. Then Teri and I found Cubby Hole, and this has been home for me for the past three years,” says Edmiston. “I’ve had one day off in that time,” he adds with a smile, “but this has been a labor of love, so it makes it worthwhile.” The Cubby Hole Bar is located at 823 N Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale.
