FRONT RUNNER Local tennis legend Chris Evert shares a moment with Miami Dolphins quarterback Bob Griese (far right, with a representative from S&H Green Stamps) at the 1973 S&H Green Stamps $50,000 Tennis Classic in Fort Lauderdale.

Net GaiNs Athletics have long been a year-round favorite pastime of South Floridians. Golf in December? Tennis in February? Baseball spring training in March? Yes, you can play it all. For decades, large-scale tournaments have stopped in South Florida, bringing with them a plethora of celebrities and athletes, and delighting both local and visiting fans alike. One such gathering was the S&H Green Stamps $50,000 Tennis Classic in Fort Lauderdale, held during February through early March in 1973. It was the first stop on an eight-tournament tour for the United States Lawn Tennis Association Women’s Prize Money Circuit, which brought with it two South Florida powerhouses for a special appearance. One of those superstars is NFL Hall of Famer Bob Griese, the quarterback responsible for leading the Miami Dolphins through a perfect, undefeated season culminating with a Super Bowl win in 1972, forever leaving Miami’s mark on the history of the NFL.

52 oceandrive.com

Around the same time, Florida-born tennis star Chris Evert began dominating the courts as the Women’s Tennis Association’s number-one-ranked singles player. “Chrissie” captured the hearts of those not just in the Sunshine State but everywhere, and her unparalleled tennis talents catapulted her into a shining spotlight that has yet to burn out. Pictured here, the athletic power duo shared a laugh after a young Evert won her first professional tournament 6-1, 6-2 against British pro Virginia Wade. Both athletes have since retired from their respective sports careers, but they certainly remain active. Griese served as a leading sports analyst for ESPN and ABC until 2011. Evert serves as a tennis analyst for ESPN’s Grand Slam coverage, co-owns the Evert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton, and founded the Chris Evert/Raymond James Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic, a three-day tournament that has raised over $22 million to fight drug abuse and support neglected and abused children in South Florida.

FRONT RUNNER

Florida State Senator Lawton Mainor Chiles Jr. walks alongside the road during his campaign for US Senate in 1970.

Walk This Way While this year there are not one but two Florida politicians—Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush—front and center in the race for the presidency, in 1970, there was one Sunshine State politician who took hitting the campaign trail more literally than all others. In a successful bid for a spot in the US Senate, former Florida Governor Lawton Mainor Chiles Jr. trekked more than 1,000 miles from the Panhandle to the Keys, earning him the moniker “Walkin’ Lawton.” Born and bred in Florida, Chiles stuck to his roots for his nearly 40 years in public office. Making his political debut at 28, the Democrat was elected to the Florida House of Representatives, where he held his post for eight years, until moving to the state Senate in 1966. Although Chiles spent a dozen years in the Florida legislature, his name lacked statewide recognition—until “the walk,” that is.

54 oceandrive.com

With the hope of acquiring a seat in the United States Senate, Chiles endured a 91-day journey on foot, stopping to speak with anyone and everyone he encountered along the way. This “man of the people” approach earned him the public appeal he craved and a place in national politics. It wasn’t just his out-of-the-box campaigning that Chiles is remembered for, but his ability to “walk the walk,” as it were. Following 18 years as senator and eight as governor, Chiles (who never lost an election) gained a reputation as a fiscally responsible lawmaker (and the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee) with a solid respect for the voter, focusing on “sunshine laws” that mandate governments to make decisions public—not to mention that, through Chiles’s service, the Sunshine State’s population nearly doubled to 14 million. Chiles, in more ways than one, left tough shoes to fill. OD

With Agustina Woodgate and Anthony Spinello at the Mana Contemporary VIP Dinner hosted by Moishe Mana and Jorge Pérez during Miami Art Week.

Year after Year, I am amazed at the number of festivities and events that continue to draw people to Miami, making the city one of the most sought-after destinations in the world. There’s no doubt that the influx of visitors who spent December and January here— drawn south for everything from Art Basel to the holidays—saw what we as locals get to see and experience every day. And if art, culture, partying, sunshine, and luxury are your thing, you undoubtedly got that (and much more) during the past few months. But that was then. This month, if you love food, you’re in the right town. As the 15th annual Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival kicks off, now more than ever Miami turns itself into a foodie’s heaven. Get your iPhones and hashtags ready—practically every great chef and restaurant (along with culinary celebrities) will be in town, offering a taste of everything from America’s best burgers to desserts to barbecue. Of course, if you love boats, well, then you’re still in the right town! The 75th annual Miami

International Boat Show is moving to the iconic Miami Marine Stadium Park & Boat Basin on Virginia Key and bringing with it more than a thousand vessels. It’s all part of the reason that Miami will be adding over 8,000 new hotel rooms in the next five years. They’re needed, as the visitors keep coming. And why not—Miami is, after all, home to the country’s most beautiful beaches and 24-7 gorgeous weather. In what other city can you stay at your hotel and still have the #BestVacationEver? It’s also why we chose the gorgeous Victoria’s Secret model Shanina Shaik to usher in our February issue, shot on location at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. When not traveling the world for photo shoots, she’s somewhat of a local: The Magic City is where she and fiancé DJ Ruckus (another Miami local) can call home. Models and DJs—it doesn’t get any more #MiamiBeach than that. Enjoy the issue; then enjoy the food, boats, beaches, and weather. It’s what makes Ocean Drive your key to the city.

letter from the Publisher

2016 has only just begun and already we Miamians have our agendas brimming with exciting celebrations and soirées, as some of Miami’s biggest events happen in February. For starters, this month marks the 75th year of the Miami International Boat Show, which brings the world’s most impressive yachts to our marinas from February 11 through 15. This year the famous exposition moves to the hip Miami Marine Stadium Park and Basin, the perfect idyllic backdrop for such a lively event. February is also a month dedicated to everyone’s favorite indulgence: food. Ranked the number-one culinary event in the country on BizBash.com for three consecutive years, the annual Food

Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival returns to our velvety shores from February 23 to 27. As Miami’s culinary scene continues to grow exponentially, we can’t wait to taste the talent this year’s festival will bring to the table. In the spirit of fine cuisine, we’re thrilled to offer you an issue filled with mouthwatering stories. Food mastermind and SOBEWFF founder Lee Brian Schrager helps you navigate the festival’s numerous events in this month’s “Hottest Ticket,” while our “View from the Top” column spotlights Miamibased baker Ginny Simon—CEO of Ginnybakes, which produces gluten-free, non-GMO kosher confections—who urges you to nosh on healthy, yet undeniably delectable, desserts.

To celebrate such an important month, we’re delighted to feature on our cover the stunning Aussie model Shanina Shaik, who is every bit as kind and down-to-earth as she is beautiful. After a busy year strutting down countless catwalks (she just walked for the fourth time in the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, a gig that every model covets), Shaik is on the runway to supermodel stardom. While our calendars may be jam-packed and our long days turning into longer evenings, I’d say 2016 is off to a great start. Enjoy flipping through this issue of Ocean Drive amid the numerous Champagne toasts and delicious tastings. I hope to see you around at all the exciting events….

DaviD DreBin

photographer

Awardwinning photogra pher Gary James has spent 10 years “starting conversa tions in hopes of creating magic” and “building bonds as a means of creating that indelible image [that will turn] dull reality on its head.” Alongside Creative Director Kim Grijalva, James runs The Guild 5 Forty Five, an industrial style studio in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s Art District, FAT Village, which creates commercial cam paigns for clients such as One & Only Resorts. For this issue, he photographed the food feature, “Craft City.”

After graduating from New York’s Parsons School of Design, photographer David Drebin made a name for himself by shooting images of movie stars, sports personalities, and other entertainers. He has also been commissioned for numerous highprofile advertising campaigns around the world. His work was featured in his debut book, Love and Other Stories, as well as at Art Miami. For this issue, he photographed the fashion feature, “Swinging Miami.”

Lee Brian Schrager

Miami Beachbased journalist Galena Mosovich writes about cocktail culture, food, and the arts for The Miami Herald, Saveur, and Time Out, among other publications. In 2014, she was selected to judge the Spirited Awards for Tales of the Cocktail, the elite New Orleans cocktail festival. She chooses the best dining spots in Biscayne for this issue’s “CuiScene.”

author Lee Brian Schrager is vice president of corporate communi cations and national events for Southern Wine & Spirits of America. Widely recognized for his creation of both the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival and the New York City Wine & Food Festival, Schrager is a regular contributor to Ocean Drive and serves on the board of trustees of Pérez Art Museum Miami and the board of directors of Food Bank for New York City. His third cookbook, America’s Best Breakfasts (Clarkson Potter), is due out in April. In this issue, Schrager visits Driftwood Room at the Nautilus, a Sixty Hotel, in Miami Beach. As someone on the forefront of Miami’s food scene, what recent trend are you most excited by? We seem to have a flood of culturally focused concepts opening—Asian, Latin, etc. It really showcases, on a culinary level, the global influences that make Miami so unique. Why is now a great time to be opening a restaurant in Miami? Locals and travelers alike are more excited than ever about food. If a tourist asked for your top three must-eat things when visiting Miami, what would you recommend? A media noche, stone crabs, and a mojito—classically Miami.

82 oceandrive.com

What’s the one recent dining trend you’re most excited by? I’m thrilled to see a backtobasics approach to cooking with an emphasis on freshness. I believe the “overcompli cated” trend will start to fade on a larger scale in 2016. What are your top three must-eats when visiting Miami? Chef Michael Pirolo’s creative interpreta tion of panAsian cuisine at Bází; a hearty turkey and Brie sub on a crispy baguette from La Sandwicherie on South Beach (extra Dijon vinaigrette and cornichons!); and an açai bowl at Athens Juice in North Beach.

What is the greatest challenge when shooting food and restaurants in Miami? Being able to eat it all. What’s one dish you’ve photographed that was so tantalizing, it was hard not to just dig in right away? I absolutely loved shooting this month’s feature and can’t wait to go back to each spot. What’s your guiltypleasure meal or snack in Miami? Komodo Executive Pastry Chef Shawne Bryan’s Zen Garden dessert.

What is your favorite thing about shooting in Miami? Who doesn’t love Miami? What have been some of your favorite people or places you’ve shot for Ocean Drive? I appreciate all of the staff at Ocean Drive and love doing castings in the office. What’s one assignment you haven’t yet received that would be your dream shoot? Photographing Donald Trump. Can you imagine? Wow. What an original.

STYLE Tastemaker Zac Posen during the debut presentation of his Brooks Brothers collection in New York City.

Zac’s Next act! Zac Posen adds yet another FashIon Feather to hIs celeb-rated cap as Brooks Brothers’ new creatIve dIrector. By samantha yanks Known for his impressive squad of superfans, from actresses Christina Hendricks, Amy Schumer, Jennifer Hudson, and Bella Thorne to models Naomi Campbell and Coco Rocha, Zac Posen has had a hit on every red carpet. His famous gowns, made with exquisite corsetry, couture techniques, and fin de siècle extras, have come to represent the very essence of formalmeets-fab glamour. Recognizing this essence, some industry insiders were surprised when, last year, Posen was named creative director of Brooks

Brothers, the 200-year-old all-American brand that is certainly more casual than Posen’s eponymous line—and was certainly in need of a face-lift. But, not interested in fast fashion or short-lived capsule collections, Posen was on the hunt to find a brand that would allow him to explore straightforward construction long-term. “Brooks Brothers is a benchmark of American sportswear, and it has immense history,” he says. continued on page 90

“Our printed shirtdress— it really says Brooks Brothers, and is the It dress for spring.”

where our Zac Posen collection is more tothe-body, with Brooks Brothers, there’s a celebration of straightforward construction.” But Posen couldn’t abandon his own DNA, either. “I wanted to bring a sense of casualness and pop to [the collection], which helped highlight the shapes and the cuts,” he says. “It’s creating a collection that has pop, but is still sophisticated.” At 35, Posen enjoys multitasking: There’s his main line, Zac Posen, which he launched to immense acclaim at the impressive age of 21; the offshoot Z Spoke diffusion line; the uniforms he designs for Delta Air Lines flight crews; a twiceyearly bridal collection; his role as a judge on two seasons of the ever-popular Project Runway; and, now, being at the helm at Brooks Brothers. Despite keeping the New York City native ever engaged, the

variety has benefited his designing. His role at Brooks Brothers has influenced the designs at his own house, he says, and vice versa. A red dress in Brooks Brothers’ spring collection, for example, flaunts not only Posen’s signature architectural fit and flare but his hallmark corsetry lining. Conversely, the process of designing for Brooks Brothers’ more mass audience has left its mark on his creation for Zac Posen. “In my company, we have a great history of working with a more glamorous look, but definitely that sense of sophistication and ease [found in] luxury sportswear has become hugely influential.” However, the volume did take some getting used to. “I’ve worked in such an artisanal process for so long,” Posen says. But for Brooks Brothers, he is now responsible for 200 pieces per delivery, with 12 deliveries a year. “I feel like my whole career was a preparation to get to the age of 35 and to be able to have the endurance, patience, [and ability not only to] delegate and trust but to know when to let go and when to have your artistic hand in there— all to be where I am today.” Brooks Brothers, Aventura Mall, 19501 Biscayne Blvd., 305466-4375; brooksbrothers.com OD

“We’re reintroducing the trench, which is in houndstooth and cotton. I think it is great for city and country.”

“Our great, classic blazer. We have our tartan and crepe suiting, which comes in blue and red. We made it ‘bipartisan’ with both colorways.”

“I felt connected to its DNA.” Americana sportswear is not in the vernacular of his own fashion house, so the opportunity to explore another aesthetic appealed to Posen greatly. “Taking sportswear further while respecting the original codes of the house was a challenge, but I love the challenge,” Posen says. “It was an opportunity to redefine the classics, to keep tradition alive in quality, but bring a new breath of style to it. For me, Brooks Brothers needed an evolution, not a revolution.” That breath of style starts with the color palette. In his debut, spring collection, Posen draws on punchy corals, mint greens, and sunny yellows (in tropical and nautical-stripe prints) inspired by Miami, the Hamptons, and Nantucket. “To me, there is a 1970s bohemian quality to those yellow, red, and blue tartans next to very floral prints,” he says. “You want to draw on colors that are visceral, and, for sure, Miami has spectacular colors—they are nostalgic and romantic, but have a sense of bite in them, too. There’s the mix of something exotic with something Deco.” It continues with the silhouettes, which are emblematic of easy dressing. “I think

BY LISA FERRANDINO When it comes to trends, Onia’s creative director, Carl Cunow, knows what’s up and coming for swimwear, such as “florals and botanical prints, like the Yucca Leaf print and Birds of Paradise suit.” And while prints are at the top of the game for both men and women, on the shores of Miami, Cunow says it’s all about keeping it short. “Men should look for shorter lengths coupled with ocean shades and fresh blues,” he says. And for the female counterparts of the Magic City, placement prints, texture, and one-pieces are the go-tos for a sexy suit. Intermix, 634 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-531-5950; onia.com

However, the smart simian chose to eat the peaches and was thereafter a symbol

of health, long life, and good luck in Chinese lore, and is usually depicted in the peach garden.

BACK IN BLUES

GARY CLAR JR. RETURNS TO THE FILLMORE IN MIAMI BEACH WITH HIS DEEPLY PERSONAL NEW ALBUM. BY KATHY BLACKWELL President Obama may have been correct when, after a White House performance in 2012, he called Gary Clark Jr. “the future” of the blues, but that doesn’t mean the Grammy – winning musician has rejected the past. The sounds of traditional blues and soul course through his most recent album, The Story of Sonny Boy Slim, a bold sonic exploration that also reflects his personal history. Clark recorded it at the historic Arlyn Studios in his hometown of Austin, Texas. “It was my home,” he says about recording at Arlyn. “They let me hang out and get really comfortable.… I’ve never felt like I felt in that studio. I could be completely free and open and just be creative, like I was when I was a kid in the garage at my parents’ house or at [longtime friend] Eve Monsees’s house, trying to figure it out. I needed that and wanted that.… I don’t think the record would have been the same anywhere else. I felt like I was in my living room, my bedroom.” He laughs before adding, “I think I definitely overstayed my welcome.” Clark’s personal life was deeply entwined in the album’s creation, which took more than a year, during which he became engaged to his girlfriend, Australian model Nicole Trunfio, who gave birth to their son, Zion, in January. A lot happened in the world as well, inspiring Clark to shape his story into a message of faith and hope. From the title— “Sonny Boy” is a nickname given to him by his mother, while “Slim” is what he was called by “cats on the scene”—to the songwriting and soulful singing, the album is all about Clark’s view, both inward and outward. “I just got to reflect and think about where I come from, where I’ve been, the experiences in my life, and what I have now,” he says. “[I was able] to figure out who I am.” Gary Clark Jr. performs on February 19 at the Fillmore Miami Beach. 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, 305-673-7300; fillmoremb.com; garyclarkjr.com OD

Feast On This FIFTEEN YEARS IN, THE ANNUAL SOUTH BEACH WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL INTRODUCES SOME NEW FLAVORS. BY CARLA TORRES

“Time f lies when you’re having fun,” says South Beach Wine & Food Festival founder Lee Brian Schrager, who, after 15 years of putting on the largest gastronomic spectacle of the year, still hasn’t run out of ideas, events, or talent. “Our biggest concern is always how to keep it fresh.” But Schrager promises that the festival’s 15th installment— hosted by Southern Wine & Spirits (where he is vice president for corporate communications) and Florida International University and benefiting FIU’s Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management— will be bigger, better, and even more appetizing. Between eating and drinking with the culinary elite and mingling with celebrities, he dishes on the details....

Fifteen years is quite the milestone. How does it feel? I feel like we started it 15 years ago in a lot of ways and I [also] feel like it was yesterday. We’re always changing. People think it gets easier, but nothing is easy about what we do. It is a mammoth undertaking. The South Beach Wine & Food Festival has raised more than $22 million to date. That’s why we do it. The festival was initially created for the FIU Chaplin School of Hospitality, and today it’s as much a fundraiser as it is a branding opportunity. The experience that it offers to students is second to none. I wish there had been a festival event management

class when I was in college. There’s nothing like hard work to teach you to do something, and making mistakes to teach you how to do it better. Why go outside of South Beach this year and expand north to Fort Lauderdale? We bring in chefs from all over the world, and very seldom do we bring in chefs from Fort Lauderdale, and for no reason. My parents and brother are in Lauderdale and I go there often, and there I saw this whole world of people who I [hadn’t discovered]. I got this idea two years ago that we needed to expand. We’re doing two significant events there: the Seaside Eats with Robert

Irvine and then a Bloody Mary Brunch at the Ritz-Carlton. What are some of the new events you’re most excited about? We’ve done grilled-cheese pairing seminars in the past but decided to take it a step further this year and do a whole event with Ms. Cheezious and Laura Werlin, who’s the great grilledcheese lady. Who doesn’t love grilled cheese? There’s also a midnight breakfast with Chrissy Teigen and Fireman Derek. That came about because I have a breakfast book [Best Breakfast in America] coming out, and Chrissy, who loves breakfast, has her own book coming out, and Fireman Derek has the best Oreo cookie cheesecake, so it was kind of a good way to introduce all three. There’s a croqueta party with Jean-Georges Vongerichten, too, a bizarrely wonderful, interesting matchup. How did that happen? It was one of those crazy things where he wanted to do something fun and late night, and I was almost uncomfortable presenting it to him, because he’s one of the greatest chefs in the world and such a neat freak and in such great shape, but he loved it. There’s going to be a great local Cuban band, Champagne, cocktails, and something like 15 croquetas. Dessert Party is celebrating its 15th anniversary. How are you changing it up? We always do a Dessert Party, but we haven’t used the Versace mansion in a long time, so we’re having a dozen or more pastry chefs, and it’ll be one great late-night sugar attack. What first-time events from last year are returning? Paella by the Pool, Art of Tiki, Tacos After Dark, and Yappie Hour [a pet party] were all

popular last year and are coming back. If someone is looking to splurge on one event, what should it be? I still love the Grand Tasting. It’s not cheap, but you spend the whole day in the tents and get to see 10 different culinary demos. Closing out the fest is usually Andrew Zimmern’s The Munchies, which is changing this year to Lucky Chopsticks: An Asian Night Market. How come? I’ve always wanted to do a big Chinese party, and nothing says Sunday night like Chinese food. That’s what I had in my household growing up every Sunday, and Andrew Zimmern has such a great knowledge of Asian food. This has every great Asian restaurant in town. What big and current culinary trend are you incorporating into an event this year? We’re doing a vegan dinner, a plant-based dinner, and a kosher dinner with Michael Solomonov and Zak the Baker. I don’t think kosher is a trend, but recognizing the kosher community as a viable audience is something a lot of people are doing. The festival isn’t just all food. What events incorporate some other components? There’s YogArt at the Raleigh, and we’re certainly doing our family program Fun and Fit at Jungle Island, which marries everything— health, food, exercising, and great chefs talking about how to produce a healthy eater and how to make healthy food. What are three things people should bring with them to the festival? Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and Tums. The South Beach Wine & Food Festival takes place February 24–28 at various locations; visit sobefest.com for details. OD

“We could have bought a real big boat for what we spent on this one,” says Mike Fernandez, seen on the flying bridge of the Pilar, the vessel he refurbished with his friend Andy Garcia.

Old Man Revisited actor Andy GArciA and healthcare mogul M e FernAndez dock a replica of ernest hemingway’s famed fishing boat, Pilar, at this month’s miami international boat show. by becky randel

The name Ernest Hemingway prompts a wide range of reactions, with the legends surrounding the man almost more famous than his esteemed works of literature. Yet one aspect of this complex author’s persona likely comes closest to the truth: His heart belonged to the sea. And this month, thanks to actor Andy Garcia and healthcare mogul Mike Fernandez, the vessel upon which Hemingway bestowed most of his affection—his fishing boat, Pilar—is coming to the Miami International Boat Show. Sort of. After Garcia decided to write a screenplay about the 20 years Hemingway spent with his Cuban fishing captain, Gregorio Fuentes (the model for the character Santiago in The Old Man and the Sea), he soon realized that “the boat is a character in the movie,” he says. The original Pilar, a 38-foot Wheeler Playmate that provided Hemingway with the adventures inspiring his Pulitzer Prize– winning novel, currently sits in the Museo Hemingway Finca Vigía in Havana, Cuba. So Garcia knew he would need a replica for filming. As he worked on the script, titled Hemingway & Fuentes, with Hemingway’s niece Hilary as coauthor, Garcia turned to his old friend Mike Fernandez (also a serious Hemingway fan) for assistance. They decided to employ a team of boat restorers to create a stand-in for the Pilar. Three years and almost $1 million later, the two have a vessel that’s the spitting image of what Fernandez calls “the most famous fishing boat there is.” “We could have bought a real big boat for what we spent on this one,” says Fernandez, who later purchased the $9 million lot adjacent to his Coral Gables home to build a boathouse for the vessel. The first step, according to Garcia, was to “find a Wheeler Playmate.” They located one in upstate New York, but it was in poor condition. “She’s an 85-year-old lady of the sea,” says Fernandez, founder of the Coral Gables–based MBF Healthcare Partners. To refurbish it, they pored over detailed photos, studied documents from the Wheeler company, and even contacted the Wheeler family for guidance. Says Garcia, “You want to make it as authentic as possible within the context of what you have access to.” They added a flying bridge and a fighting chair (Garcia found one on eBay), replaced the decks, bought a 1931 Ford steering wheel (the type Hemingway used as the boat’s wheel) from a museum, and installed plumbing fixtures that “have been manufactured for the past 50 or 60 years and really haven’t changed,” Garcia says. The process was laborious and their attention to detail uncompromising. A large part of what makes the boat so special—but also so difficult to cOnTinued On Page 110

Show director Cathy Rick-Joule calls the venue “an iconic marine stadium with a rich history” and says the city of Miami “put the best brain trust they had on this project.” Highlights of this year’s show, which takes place February 11–15, will include an ingenious parking and transportation system (it’s a big deal); on-the-water opportunities like boating lessons and paddleboarding; a new green boating exhibitor, Blue Gas Marine; and an extraordinary display from Cigarette Racing Team, featuring a massive foating dock and tented reception area with air-conditioning, custom video wall installations, food and drink, and posh décor.

maintain—is the fact that it’s wooden. “There is a certain sensuality to a boat that’s made out of wood,” says Garcia, “the way it sounds, the way it travels, the way it embraces the sea.” He tips his hat to Fernandez for continuing to maintain it so well: “It takes a particular type of owner to handle a boat like this.” Fernandez, in return, gives credit to Garcia: “Andy is a perfectionist when it comes to depicting a story and presenting the real image.” But the two men agree that the true star of this endeavor was the boat itself. “I can go on Pilar or on my other boat around Europe,” Fernandez says, pointing to his yacht, “and Pilar will attract more people. It’s a conversation piece.” Restoring the vessel was more than just a technical achievement, however; it also aroused some profound emotions. “Being Cuban myself, I have a

deep connection to the culture and to the history of that island,” says Garcia. “And also being a fisherman and a lover of the sea and a lover of Hemingway’s work, especially The Old Man and the Sea, all that stuff is intertwined and is the reason why I want to make the film.” For Fernandez, one of the most successful CubanAmerican businessmen in the world, the venture has also been quite personal. He recalls how his first encounter with The Old Man and the Sea reminded him of his childhood in Cuba. “When I first read the book,” he says, “it brought me back to that time as a kid when I was shirtless lying on the roof and listening to Hemingway on a homemade radio. I knew there was an emotional connection to a happier time when I was little.” Fernandez still reads the novel yearly, and in

fact owns a signed first edition of every one of Hemingway’s books. He has also sailed to the Bahamas, hunts in Africa, and visited Cuba to meet Fuentes in person before the fishing captain passed away in 2002 at age 104; he has even run with the bulls in Pamplona. “It’s like I’m living part of Hemingway’s life,” he says. While Hemingway & Fuentes is still in development, the new Pilar is “ready for her close-up,” Garcia jokes. Jon Voight is attached to portray Hemingway, while Garcia will direct and play the role of Fuentes. In the meantime, Fernandez plans to take the boat on the same inaugural voyage as the original made—from Miami to Key West—this summer. While Hemingway may have never set foot on this Pilar, his spirit is present, and the boat’s journey is one for the books. OD

culture Art Full John Miller’s Everything Is Said #22, 2010, part of the artist’s series depicting reality-show characters crying on TV.

Miller’s Crossing Locals might remember John Miller’s A Refusal to Accept Limits (2007), a goldleaf-covered installation of toppled columns, arches, and plastic consumer objects, which opened the Rubell Family Collection’s 2011 show, “American Exuberance.” The installation was classic John Miller—the artist has approached popular culture like an archeologist with a toothbrush, dusting off just enough dirt to be sure of what he’s looking at. A stalwart of the contemporary art scene since the early ’80s, Miller earned his MFA from CalArts, the program closely associated with John Baldessari that incubated artists like David Salle and Mike Kelley, who was a close friend of Miller’s. Since graduation, he’s created a body of art and writing that never flinches from depicting and parsing the most banal and abject qualities of American art. Using mannequins, gold leaf, and chunky brown impasto paint to refer to the more scatological bits of psychoanalysis— “excrement was considered what was valueless, gold was what determines value”—Miller’s work dredges consumerism’s collective unconscious. On February 18, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami opens “I Stand, I Fall,” the first American museum show of Miller’s work. For the

exhibition, the artist worked closely with curator Alex Gartenfeld to trace his use of the figure over the past three decades. Be they shoppers, lunchhour pedestrians, or, as in his Everything Is Said series, sobbing realitytelevision characters, Miller’s subjects portray a society in the throes of capitalist spectacle. Presented in a somewhat chronological fashion, these works dovetail smoothly with the architecture and layout of the Design District space. The artist, who has long been interested in spaces of consumerism, draws a taut line from the luxury stores surrounding the museum and the critical implications first voiced in literary critic Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project, a collection of writings based on Paris city life in the 19th century. In the atrium of the museum is a mirrored labyrinth, at the center of which stands a figure sprouting plastic fruit, that mesmerizes visitors. This gets to the heart of Miller’s treatment of the figure. The show doesn’t present people in “the traditional figurative sense,” says Miller, “but more along the lines of a figure as an object.” “I Stand, I Fall” is on display February 18 through June 12 at 4040 NE Second Ave., Miami, 305-901-5272; icamiami.org.

Nu Wave

When longtime friends Jacomo Bairos and Sam Hyken paid a visit to the Light Box at Goldman Warehouse in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District in 2014, all they had was an idea jotted on a scrap of paper. But the two musicians wanted to see if this place might be a good home for the ambitious plan they had in mind: a chamber orchestra that would speak to the moment—to the city they love and the century in which they’re practicing their art. “There are a lot of people now—especially, I think, under-40s, millennials—who really gravitate to all kinds of styles and [have] very eclectic tastes,” says Bairos, 39, a Portuguese-born tuba player and conductor who grew up in Homestead. “It doesn’t mean they don’t like Beethoven, but it does mean they like Mumford & Sons just as much.” He and Hyken had similarly diverse musical interests, “and we just felt

that orchestras weren’t diving into that realm.” Thus was born the Nu Deco Ensemble, a “21st-century orchestra” of 22 players. It debuted last September with two heavily attended, enthusiastically reviewed concerts at the Light Box that were unlike any previous orchestral performances in South Florida. In addition to the pounding preshow house music, the intimate performance space, the two happily crowded open bars, and the audience of Miami’s artiest and most beautiful young people, the music also represented a distinct break from standard orchestral fare: four pieces by contemporary composers still in their 30s and 40s, a four-song set by the rising Miami pop singer Brika (aka Briana Martinez, 21), and Hyken’s symphonic arrangements of four songs (including “All My Friends” and “Dance Yrself Clean”) by LCD Soundsystem, the much-admired eleccontinued on page 116

CULTURE Magic City “It doesn’t mean they don’t lIke Beethoven, But It does mean they lIke mumford & sons just as much.” —jacomo bairos tronica band. And the encore was another Hyken arrangement, of “Around the World” by the enigmatic French house duo Daft Punk, which prompted multiple curtain calls. “Every orchestra is searching for how to bring in new audiences and how to cultivate new listeners for live performances of classical music,” says Hyken, 34, a trumpeter who hails from Morristown, New Jersey. Nu Deco’s answer: the music of living composers “who need a voice,” as Bairos puts it, along with acoustic orchestral arrangements of songs by popular artists. The combination has earned Nu Deco a twoyear, $75,000 grant from the Knight Foundation and support from the Miami-Dade County government, as well as a considerable number of $1,000 audience memberships. In its first fiscal year, the group’s budget is already more than $200,000, Hyken says. Nu Deco has also won fans among musicians, most of them veterans of the Interstate 95 freelance circuit, in which they drop in to play with various orchestras, chamber music groups, opera companies, and jazz bands across South Florida. Chauncey Patterson, one of two Nu Deco violists (the other is Hyken’s wife, Yael Kleinman Hyken), had been looking for an opportunity like this, particularly as similar contemporary-music organizations, such as New York’s Alarm Will Sound and Chicago’s Eighth Blackbird, have received national recognition in the past decade. “This is just such a gift to be involved with,” says Patterson, a former principal violist with the Denver Symphony and the Buffalo Philharmonic and a founder of the Miami String Quartet. “And it’s much better than I even thought it would be. It’s much more rewarding, the music is really challenging, and the interaction—you can feel it with the audience so much more intently than you can in a big orchestra. “Anybody can relate to classical music,” Patterson adds, “but there are a lot of stigmas that go along with traditional classical music in the way it’s presented. And Nu Deco is such a fresh approach. It’s still serious music—it’s not watered-down pop, like a pops concert would be…. This is real music.”

In addition to flourishing careers—as a conductor and a composer/arranger, respectively—Bairos and Hyken have impressive educational pedigrees. Bairos, who conducts the Amarillo Symphony in northern Texas when he isn’t in South Florida, studied at the Juilliard School in New York and was mentored by Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conductor Robert Spano and the Peabody Conservatory’s Gustav Meier. Hyken, a faculty member at the University of Miami, also studied at Juilliard and holds degrees from UM and the Royal Academy of Music in London. “With Miami, Sam was right when we started thinking about this and putting it all together,” says Bairos. “There was no contemporary-music ensemble down here. We knew that there was space for it.” Nu Deco recently performed at the Deering Estate and outdoors at the North Beach Bandshell in Miami Beach, where it was joined by Miami’s seasoned Afro-Cuban nonet Spam Allstars. Next up are two concerts at the Light Box, March 3 and 4, featuring Brooklyn’s Project Trio, music by contemporary composers Nicholas Omiccioli and Ricardo Romaneiro, Paul Hindemith’s kammermusik no. 1, and radiohead suite, Hyken’s arrangements of songs by the moody English band. Those shows will be followed by an appearance at Miami Beach’s New World Center on March 5 for the Anti-Defamation League’s ADL in Concert Against Hate. Trying to describe exactly what the Nu Deco Ensemble is has led Hyken and Bairos to this evocative elevator pitch: “a genre-bending collective of classical musicians who collaborate with artists of all media.” But Hyken may have something even pithier: “I was with someone who was trying to describe Nu Deco, and she had a great line: ‘It’s an orchestra for us.’” the nu deco ensemble performs thursday, march 3, and friday, march 4, at the light Box at Goldman Warehouse, 404 nW 26th st., miami. visit nu-deco.org or miamilightproject.com for tickets. on saturday, march 5, nu deco will provide music for adl in concert against hate at the new World center, 500 17th st., miami Beach; call 561-988-2919 for more information.

GINNY SIMON, FOUNDER AND CEO OF GINNYBAKES, CREATES NATIONAL AWARENESS FOR HEALTHY LIVING WHILE RUNNING A MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR COMPANY. BY JON WARECH There are many paths to success for an entrepreneur, but most business leaders will credit drive, determination, fearlessness, and 24-7 dedication to their company for their achievements. In that regard Ginny Simon, founder and CEO of Ginnybakes, is no different. What makes Simon stand out is that she waited until she was in her 40s to start the organic cookie, bars, and baking mix company that was recently ranked on Inc. magazine’s list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies for its 2,027 percent sales growth over the past three years. “I wanted something for me,” says Simon, who waited until the last of her four sons was going into high school before she launched her business. “I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do, but I wanted to be an entrepreneur.” Originally, Simon thought about real estate or developing something in the arts, but nutrition and organic living were her passion. “I read books on nutrition like they’re novels,” says Simon, who went to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City and became a holistic nutritionist and a life coach. She invited the community into her home to pick vegetables from her garden and learn about organic living. A home chef and baker, Simon created a simple bake mix that she gave to clients. When they couldn’t get enough of the mix, her business strategy changed. “In 2011, I decided I either needed to promote it or stop doing it,” CONTINUED ON PAGE 122

I kept feeling like—and this was probably very naïve on my part, but it worked out—if I do this right and I produce an amazing product, then I can’t imagine that it would fail.” Simon often took that can’tlose attitude on the road, meeting store owners around the country and showing off her glutenfree, nonGMO, kosher prod ucts in person. “The one thing I always said was if we got in a store we would never get kicked out,” says Simon, who was recently named number 18 on Inc.’s list of top 50 female CEOs in the US. “We spent a lot on demoing in stores and building awareness for Ginnybakes. When we get into a store, we work with them very closely to build great relationships.” To assist in the rapid growth, her husband, Steve, and one of her sons, Michael, have come on board and they’ve hired a CFO, allowing Simon to focus more on the big picture instead of crunching num bers and worrying every time a machine breaks. She spends Mondays and Wednesdays in the office working on expansion and marketing and other key aspects to success, while on the other days she’s traveling to vendors, focusing on outreach, and developing business strategies to enable Ginnybakes to become a household name nationwide. Mostly, though, she’s back to working with people and allowing them to pick from her garden and learn about eating healthy. “I think people understand that Ginnybakes is

my life’s work,” she says. “I live this life. I love this life. I would do anything to make anyone understand the worth of taking care of themselves. This is my pas sion, and it spills into everything we do. I’m Ginny of Ginnybakes. That’s what I do.” OD

she says. After finding some success with her bake mixes online, “I decided that I really wanted it.” Simon took her sweetly packaged mixes to Apple a Day in Miami Beach, and the owner of the popular local health food restaurant and shop put Ginny bakes on the shelf. Next she went to Epicure and then to her local Fresh Market, which got approval to sell Ginnybakes in more than 120 stores nationwide. It was her strong ties to the people in the community— many of whom once picked vegetables from her garden—that launched the business. “Honestly, if I didn’t come from this area, as much as I love my product, I don’t know if it would have taken off like that,” says Simon, who grew up in South Miami and lives in Miami Beach. “I had strong roots here, and people really rooted for the home team. I was really blessed.” Building the now multimilliondollar company at such a rapid pace wasn’t easy. Simon moved from her kitchen to three different certified facilities over three years to keep up with the growth. She worked tirelessly getting Ginnybakes in stores, marketing the brand, and funding the company herself before an angel investor eventually stepped in. “We’ve come close to running out of money sev eral times and then something wonderful happens,” she says. “I never looked backwards. I worried about the delivery guy showing up and the big picture of Ginnybakes, but I never worried about the funding.

Longitude Artist Justin H. Long turns curAtor As the new AssociAte director of wynwood’s BAkehouse Art complex. by hunter braithwaite

Justin H. Long’s art has always tugged at the limits of safety. In 2011, along with frequent collaborator Robert “Meatball” Lorie, he fashioned a crossbow out of leaf springs from a Dodge Caravan and used it to shoot two-by-fours through sheets of plywood at over 100 miles per hour at the de la Cruz Collection. The following year, he made a black-powder cannon out of a length of steel tubing that blasted tallboys of beer at a gong outside another collector’s Sunset Island home. But in September 2014, when the artist became associate director of Wynwood’s Bakehouse Art Complex, it looked like he was calming down a bit. However, with programing like “Last Exit: Painting,” named after an influential essay by writer and artist (and personal friend) Thomas Lawson, as well

124 oceandrive.com

as “Older Than Jesus,” which gathers the work of artists 34 and older, he has invigorated the once-staid collection of studios and galleries. Long was born in 1980 and grew up working on motorcycles at Long Motorcycle Sales, which has been located on the Miami River since his grandfather opened it in 1938. “We had our own dirt bike track,” he says. “I didn’t find art until later on, but all of the kinetic sculptures that I’ve made come out of that knowledge base of being able to keep things working, and building your own crazy stuff.” After a false start studying engineering at the University of Central Florida, Long graduated from Florida International University with a degree in time-based media, and went on to receive his MFA from CalArts. Yet while Los Angeles’s art scene was booming, Long felt far from home. “I didn’t like the cold ocean and the dry air,” he says. “I found it influencing the work.” In response, he embarked on several years of nautically themed pieces—ethereal paintings made using sails, a video of shrimp boats plying the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and a gallery-sized outline of a 60-foot-long sailboat for his 2012 exhibition “Bow Movement” at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood. Now at Bakehouse as associate director, Long has brought new life into the cultural center. “I just try to have fun with the curating, try to make shows that I would want to come see, but I don’t see it directly connected to my practice. These are ideas of shows that my work wouldn’t really fit into, but they’re still valid points.” As to the future of his work, he’s looking back toward his own studio, with an exhibition at the new Jenielift gallery, and a large-scale public commission at the Deering Estate. “It’s a spin-off of a Brancusi Endless Column using Styrofoam coolers as the mold—talking about things that last forever and are also bad for the environment, making the endless column out of something that is truly endless.” 561 NW 32nd St., Miami, 305-576-2828; bacfl.org OD

Star Power In 2010, the Miami Dolphins, in partnership with the University of Miami’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, launched a two-county, 170-mile bike ride in an effort to raise funds for cancer research. Six years and $11 million later, the event is now one of the largest fundraisers in the entire NFL. This year’s Dolphins Cancer Challenge has expanded to include world-class entertainment at the finish line. In addition to the six different rides of varying lengths and a 5K run/walk, the event will culminate at Sun Life Stadium with a performance by singers Sheryl Crow and Melissa Etheridge (both cancer survivors). Here, Ocean Drive speaks with Etheridge about the importance of cancer research, why she loves Miami, and her new venture as a cannabis entrepreneur.

How did you get involved with this event? I was connected to [Miami Dolphins Chairman of the Board] Steve and [his wife] Kara Ross through someone who knew how much I loved football. The synergy just worked—you have to love football teams doing so much for cancer research—so I said, “Absolutely, I’m there, sign me up.” Dolphins Cancer Challenge is dedicated to researching specific cases of the disease. Why is that important? That’s one of the big things we are going to discover about cancer—we can’t lump all cancers together. We are trying to lump it [together] by organ—but really, we are finding that cancer is a very personal disease, and it has to do with a lot of situations in each person. cOntinueD On page 128

I think that’s the future—personalized medicine. How does it feel to perform with Sheryl Crow? It’s always a pleasure to get with my friend Sheryl; our paths have been very parallel for the last 20 years. I’m very fond of her, and I’m looking forward to this. Is it particularly meaningful that you are both cancer survivors? That always puts some extra oomph in it, when you can look out at your brothers and sisters and say, “Hey, I’ve been there, I know what you’re going through, and there’s way too many of us in this situation.”

How has being an activist become part of your own journey? It really changed my life. I would never want to go through [cancer] again, and I would never wish it on anyone, yet it was a gift. It really made me see how much my health means to me and that I’m nothing without my health. How have you changed your lifestyle since beating breast cancer? I have changed the way I eat and the way I look at how I eat and what it means to me. Food is medicine, food is wellness, food is [there] to sustain me. It’s not to help me get out of an emotion. What was the most significant change that you made? We are all pretty much addicted to sugar, and if you understand sugar and its role in cancer… one should probably draw the conclusion that to lower sugar in your body is to lower your risk of cancer. These things I’ve taken into my own hands and said this is my responsibility. Doing yoga and keeping my body limber, and maintaining it is my responsibility. Is it ever difficult to be seen as a pillar of strength? Do you sometimes just want to not think about it? [Laughs] No, because it’s a part of me and it’s something I went through, and I’m reminded of my health every time I think about it, and if my experience can help anyone, then lord, let me be there. Let me help, because I’ll gladly talk

about it anytime. What do you love about Miami? I love the weather—I like humidity, I like a little moisture in my heat. I do love the people who end up in Florida; I love how it’s the center of conservatism and liberalism all in one little state. The whole America can be summed up in Florida. How about the cuisine? Oh my god, delicious—the Cuban and Latin food—it’s the first place I ever had a mojito, and that changed my life. The food here is just magnificent. You recently launched a line of cannabis wines inspired by your treatment. Why did you go into this industry? It’s the new paradigm; it’s the new future. I have a deep belief that’s grounded in medicinal cannabis and the good that it can do for us and the world. I kind of stumbled on this product, this cannabis wine that they’ve been making for centuries. Did you ever think your experience with cancer and medical marijuana could turn into a business? Ten years ago, I had a crazy dream that that was something I could do, and over the last 10 years, I’ve been seeing it slowly come true. That’s the way dreams are, and that’s the only way things change— people dare to dream the crazy dream. the dolphins Cancer Challenge takes place on February 20; for information on the ride, run/walk, and concert, including purchasing tickets, visit dolphinscancer challenge.com.

Driftwood Room’s grilled branzino, served with assorted olives, Brussels sprouts, and grilled mixed peppers.

Despite finding mainstream fame as a cookbook author (Old-School Comfort Food) and television personality (as a recurring presence on Food Network’s Chopped and a mentor on All-Star Academy), Alex Guarnaschelli has managed to remain one of a small group of elite chefs who can still be found in the kitchen on a regular basis—an integral factor, she believes, in the synergy of Chopped’s cast. “We are all unleashed animals in our natural habitat,” she says. Now the Next Iron Chef winner is unleashing her passion in South Beach as executive chef of Driftwood Room, a collaboration with hotelier Jason Pomeranc and restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow, located in the Nautilus, a Sixty Hotel. “The natural beauty—the sky, the air, the sand, which is like a smooth bed of glass—is what drew me here,” she says. “And of course I love that in Miami, it’s completely normal to see something junky and old-school right next to something incredibly chic. There is a real contradiction and sense of whimsy here, which I love.” That contradiction is emulated in the pairing of Driftwood Room’s elegant atmosphere with the simplicity and fun of beachside dining. Opening a restaurant on Miami Beach has certainly afforded Guarnaschelli the opportunity to flex her culinary muscles.

always an essential part of her vocabulary. She grew up surrounded by the manuscripts of her mother’s authors, including some of America’s greatest culinary educators— women like Julie Sahni, Lynne Rossetto Kasper, and Rose Levy Beranbaum. Guarnaschelli’s father, a professor of military science and a Chinese-food enthusiast, also influenced the way she thought about food, leaving his daughter with a set of indelible memories: a raw fennel and celery root salad he once prepared; kitchen shelves filled with his coveted Chinese cooking oils, condiments, and woks; a 1983 trip to Paris (her first), where they savored Joël Robuchon’s peerless cauliflower caviar. Food was always in her future. After graduating from Barnard College with a

bachelor’s degree in art history, Guarnaschelli began working for the venerable Larry Forgione, who taught her the vital importance of high-quality ingredients, along with the skill of packing as much flavor into a pot as possible, then transferring that flavor to the plate without losing anything along the way. She then spent seven years in France working under Guy Savoy before returning to New York, where she became a sous chef at Daniel Boulud’s eponymous restaurant. Two years in Los Angeles (at the much-admired Patina) followed, before she was offered the position of executive chef at Butter in 2003, a post she still holds today. At Driftwood Room, Guarnaschelli combines some of her European influences with locally

sourced ingredients in dishes like cobia crudo with piquillo peppers, Florida head-on shrimp with green apple chimichurri, and roasted whole cauliflower with hazelnuts, rock salt, and lemon. It’s a winning blend that can be experienced throughout the hotel, including poolside at the Nautilus Cabana Club and in bites at the Lobby Bar. Guarnaschelli’s cuisine is refined yet approachable, much like the chef herself— not to mention her taste in art. One of her most prized pieces is a Keith Haring chalk subway drawing, which hangs prominently across from her bed. “Each morning,” she says, “I marvel at it and think, Don’t forget to be an artist today.” 1825 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-503-5700; sixty hotels.com OD

restaurant, which opened in 2003—for Miami Beach diners. It wouldn’t have worked anyway. “Everyone here hates cream in their sauces,” she says. Instead she needed to master local flavors and aesthetics, adapting her cuisine to produce a bright, balanced seafood-andvegetable-focused menu that’s perfect for Miami. It’s a lesson that her mother, the revered cookbook editor Maria Guarnaschelli, instilled in her at an early age: “My mother used to tell me, ‘You don’t do anything unless you are an utter expert.’” As a result, Guarnaschelli never left the house without doing her homework, a practice she still follows today. Although her parents didn’t necessarily encourage her to become a chef, food (particularly French and Italian) was

Gastronomic Goliaths Besides being the globe-trotting personality behind CNN’s Parts Unknown and a New York Times best-selling author, Anthony Bourdain is—and will always be—a cook at heart. He recently joined friend José Andrés (the force behind ThinkFoodGroup and The Bazaar by José Andrés) for the inaugural José Andrés & Friends Culinary Getaway at Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Dorado, Puerto Rico. Amid a cornucopia of paella parties, chef cook-offs, rum craft-cocktail classes, beachside seafood barbecues, and Champagne brunching, two of the food world’s elite still found time to sit down with Ocean Drive and dish on the past, present, and future of the food industry—particularly in burgeoning Miami. What is the most significant breakthrough moment in food that has taken place during your lifetime? Anthony Bourdain: There are two. When Americans started eating sushi and decided sometime in the ’70s that raw fish was desirable, that was a big, big win; everything started to get better after that.

I’m part of the problem; I didn’t intend to glamorize cooking—I didn’t think I was. People forget that it’s about making the same thing under very hot, difficult conditions. What do you hope to see happen in the next 20 years? JA: We’re going to see the revolt of the real food industry versus the “fake” food industry. More and more [I wouldn’t call it fast food but] fast food with great-name chefs, [where well-known chefs] will be behind concepts that are not affordable for the few but for the many.

And the men and women who prepare some of the city’s most acclaimed dinners are no exception, including Diego Oka, executive chef of the Peruvian paradise La Mar by Gaston Acurio; Brad Kilgore, the owner of Alter, and his pastry-chef wife, Soraya; Macchialina veteran Craig Giunta; chef Roel Alcudia, the newest addition at Mandolin Aegean Bistro (formerly of Cypress Room); and tortilla wizard Steve Santana and Eric Saltzman of Taquiza, who gather with various others on a regular basis for a “family meal.” For Miami’s top toques, many of whom have left their families behind to come to the Magic City, family-style isn’t just a dining trend. “I’m not from Miami, so I had to make a family here,” says William Crandall, executive chef at Izzy’s Fish & Oyster. “It all got started because it was Eric’s and my day off and we wanted to see all our friends together in one building. It wasn’t about food or about restaurants, but just about seeing everyone.” That impromptu evening has turned into an almost weekly ritual, with the chefs alternating hosting duties. On this particular occasion, Oka is serving a home-cooked meal that’s a taste CONTINUED ON PAGE 146

Others bring things to go along with the night’s inspiration, like [tonight] I brought a cocktail using ají amarillo,

which I use at Alter and is indigenous to Peru. It was my way to respect his culture and his home.” Faces familiar and new are welcome in whatever home happens to be hosting, growing the family and fortifying the camaraderie among Miami’s chefs. Collaborative dinners or new menu items may come out of it, but that was never the intent. It was the humble act of sharing what they love, cooking and eating, with one another. “My family doesn’t understand what this industry entails, but these guys do,” says Oka, while Maxfield adds, “This could happen every night of the week and I’d be okay with it.” Of course he and the other chefs are keeping Miami’s insatiable palates satiated the other six nights of the week.

Decanting Decadence Two years ago, Patrón Tequila reached out to Lalique with an enticing proposition: to fashion a limited-edition decanter for a very special tequila. “It was the first time Lalique has worked with a tequila brand,” says Maz Zouhairi, president and CEO of Lalique North America. “The Patrón en Lalique Serie 1 is inspired by Mexico’s agave plant. Lalique’s master craftsmen put all of their savoir faire and passion into producing each bottle.” As for the tequila, Patrón master distiller and blender Francisco

Alcaraz and his senior production team were tasked with creating a superlative mix for this world-class alliance. “Patrón en Lalique Serie 1 is a blend of our oldest and rarest tequilas from the barrel-aging room at Hacienda Patrón in Mexico,” says Alcaraz. “I combined tequilas from barrels I’ve been watching and tasting over the past several years. I sought to create extra-aged tequila that maintained its distinct agave flavor, as a nod to the agave-inspired bottle design. By blending from several different barrel types, I also wanted to create

tequila rich in amber color to accentuate the crystal decanter.” Released with much fanfare at the end of 2015, Patrón en Lalique Serie 1—which is limited to 500 bottles and retails for $7,500—is making its way to a few exclusive markets, including Miami. “The response has been outstanding,” Zouhairi reports. “Before it was in stock, we had numerous sales and orders. Our two brands share strong values of creativity, artistry, and excellence.” Total Wine, 1139 Fifth St., Miami Beach, 786-2766545; lalique.com OD

The decanter’s stopper represents the succulent heart of the blue agave plant, whose juice is fermented and distilled to produce tequila.

BY CARLA TORRES “A little pinch of this, a little pinch of that” is exactly what you get at the burgeoning Upper East Side’s newest, and undoubtedly freshest, neighborhood joint, Pinch Kitchen—at least according to chefs, partners, and Pubbelly alums John Gallo and Rene Reyes. “We always knew we’d open a restaurant together,” says the duo, who first met in the kitchen of Casa Tua over a decade ago and reunited at Barceloneta. It was there that the idea for Pinch—freestyle American cooking paired with superb craft beer—was born. Dishes pack more than just a pinch of bold flavors, from pungent (in a good way) sous-vide endives in Valdeón fonduta to earthy roasted carrots harvested nearby covered in tzatziki to boozy and sweet baba au rhum accompanied by savory and herbaceous thyme ice cream.

Painting the town Red Bona fide starlet Katie Holmes took a night off from Basel madness to celeBrate her viBrant decemBer Ocean Drive cover and our annual art of the Party. by Katie jacKson In the midst of her very first Art Basel in Miami Beach experience, Katie Holmes posed for a flurry of flashing cameras at Ocean Drive’s annual Basel soirée Art of the Party—and revealed her gorgeously captivating December issue cover. Ever the down-to-earth beauty, Holmes happily greeted excited guests and die-hard Dawson’s Creek fans before being whisked inside Miami power couple Petra and Stephen Levin’s lavish bayfront mansion (the former home of Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez). Holmes, who stunned in a red Azzedine Alaïa dress and Manolo Blahnik heels, mingled with Miami’s elite in front of magnificent views of the city’s skyline. Although she’s rarely idle (she was fresh from shooting the Showtime series Ray Donovan and the upcoming film Touched with Fire while also making her directorial debut with All We Had), Holmes was thrilled to escape to the Magic City. “I love the weather, the restaurants,” she told Ocean Drive. The actress/director also makes time to practice her newfound passion: painting. “It’s how I unwind,” Holmes says in her cover feature. “I surround myself with friends who are very artistic, and I work a lot, so I’m constantly with really creative people. I get inspired by other people.” OD

Actress, activist, and selfproclaimed “wannabe artist” Katie Holmes epitomized Miami chic in a red Azzedine Alaïa dress and Manolo Blahnik heels while celebrating her stunning December cover at Ocean Drive’s annual Art of the Party soirée.

“As

much as I love holiday time, it’s good to try and get back to work,” says model Shanina Shaik, who spent the last few weeks of 2015 on a whirlwind vacation tour, including the Bahamas for Christmas, Dubai for New Year’s Eve, and then a restful stop in the Maldives. The trip alone is impressive, but the fact that Shaik got engaged—to her boyfriend of nine months, Miami superstar Greg “DJ Ruckus” Andrews—during the sojourn made the getaway one for the record books. In fact, much of Shaik’s winter was memory-making. In November, she took her fourth walk down Victoria’s Secret’s famed fashion show runway, modeling a sexy black bustier and matching butterfly wings; a month later, she and Ruckus were in town cruising Art Basel in Miami Beach, and then again for Ocean Drive’s cover shoot at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood. “Coming from Australia, I’m always in quite nice weather, and the beach, so when I do go to Miami, it gives me a sense of home,” says Shaik, who loves shopping at The Webster. “Every time I go there, I just have lots of fun. The people are really nice, too. It feels free-spirited. This trip was my mum’s first time going to Miami, actually, and she really loved it as well. Miami has a lot to offer and so many things to do.” However, this jet-setting lifestyle is miles beyond where the self-professed shy girl started when she launched her modeling career. Here, the 24-year-old stunner—who gets her exotic beauty from her Lithuanian and Australian mom and Pakistani

168 oceandrive.com

and Saudi Arabian dad—details how her mother helped her build confidence and overcome bullying, her early struggles to fit in in the modeling industry, the Victoria’s Secret Angel who first took her under her “wings,” and the racism Shaik faced on her way to superstardom. How were you discovered as a model? At the age of 7 to 8 years, I began kids modeling. I was doing catalog work in Australia. I was quite shy growing up, so my mum actually wanted me to try it to bring more confidence to myself. When high school began, I was accepted into the accelerated program, so my mum said, “You need to quit modeling for a while and focus on your school work, and if it comes up again when you have time and you finish high school, then you should do it.” So I did that, but I think it was just meant to be. I’m very big on energy and things that happen around you, and I think the universe was pushing me in that direction where a lot of people were saying, “You need to do modeling.” So at the age of 15, 16, I did a Girlfriend magazine model search. But your big break was actually during a reality show? I don’t look like the typical Australian girl, and it was harder for clients to understand my look, so I went on Make Me a Super model. I was still quite shy. I told my mum on the morning of that I didn’t want to go, and she was like, “Shanina, I think you should just try.” I had someone take a photo of me backstage while we were filming on a camera phone, and [while] I didn’t win, I became runner-up. But because of that photo, I got a contract with a New York agency.

How did you get involved with Victoria’s Secret? When I came to New York, the first week pretty much, they were interested in me. There was talk that I looked like Adriana Lima—and I couldn’t see that at all! At the age of 17, they were telling me I was so sexy, and I didn’t understand that—I was like, I’m not doing anything, though… I was still so young, and at that time, they didn’t have Pink. When I was 20, I really came into myself as being more of a woman. My body changed, elongated, stretched out; I got rid of my baby fat on my face, and I booked the show. For any model to book the Victoria’s Secret show, it changes their career. It’s always been a dream of mine. Have there been role models in the industry that you emulate, or respect how their careers have developed that you hope to follow? Funny enough, to be honest, it was Adriana Lima. And the best part was, when I did my first show, I didn’t know anybody else, I didn’t do any high fashion work at that point, so I was really still kind of brand-new to the industry. I was sitting by myself, waiting to do rehearsals, and Adriana was the first person that came up to me and asked who I was, asked how I am, and complimented me. She’s really such a beautiful, down-to-earth girl. Your look is so different because you have such an unusual cultural background. Did that present any challenges when you started out? Yes, my mother is Australian-Lithuanian and my father was

born in Singapore, but he’s Pakistani-Saudi Arabian. Growing up, I was bullied when I was in high school. When I think about it now, I’m really happy that it did happen, because I gained a lot of confidence from it; I was stronger, I became more independent, and I learned a lot about myself. It gave me strength to go on to do what I need to do today. People see beautiful models, and it’s hard to believe they could have been bullied. It doesn’t matter who you are and what you look like, anybody can be bullied. There are a lot of models who were bullied when they were younger just because they looked tall and lanky. At the time it was jealousy, and I didn’t understand that [then]. It was more mental, emotional bullying, and I was really embarrassed because I thought bullying was when you go to school and there’s a big bully and they physically hurt you. It was kind of racist, derogative terms thrown every day, too. I actually stopped going to school because I was tired of the hurt, the taunting, the negative statements. Kids can be quite cruel, and they just follow one person, so when one girl didn’t like me, it became a group, so I felt really left out. How has overcoming that helped you as a model? You hear the most outrageous comments about yourself. I would say to any girl who is coming into the modeling industry, definitely love yourself and know that this is your body, this is your face, you’re not going to be anybody else, and then just be really confident in yourself.

How has your religious background and upbringing played a role in your life? When my mother married [my dad], she had to change to Islam, so my brother and I were both born and raised Muslim. My dad’s not a superstrict Muslim, so I had a really normal upbringing. It was just about respecting the religion, like how we ate (no pork, trying to eat halal food). My mum and dad did get divorced when I was 6 or 7, so he wasn’t in my life as much after that [and] she changed back to Catholic. My mum basically said to me, “We are our own person, we believe in our own beliefs, and we can choose what religion we want to follow.” I respect both my father’s and my mother’s religion. How does your dad feel about you modeling lingerie? My dad is super understanding; he loves his children. He says whatever makes me happy makes him happy. He knows I’m smart and have my head on straight. I have goals with my career, and he knows that I’ll always respect myself. Victoria’s Secret is a brand that showcases a woman being fit, beautiful, and healthy, and having confidence, but is also respectful, too, so I’m not doing anything too over the top or raunchy. I think that would be an issue if that were the case. Your mother appears a lot in your social media. What are some lessons she taught you that still resonate? My mum is my number-one fan. She’s always pretty much told me to just be positive and know that I’m unique, and I need to always be myself, and kind and caring, because whatever you put out will come back to you. How has social media helped you in your career? Social media allows me to show people the real me; you see the people that I love and the things that I love to eat and the things

that make me laugh and smile, and the places that I love to go. It’s really important, especially in modeling—what makes girls stand out is their personality. And apparently it’s a great place to announce that you got engaged. Were you surprised? Yes, I was truly surprised. I’ve been with Greg for about nine months now, so it was really quick, but it feels right. We’re best friends, and we’re obviously very much in love, and we have lots of fun with each other. We understand each other’s life and career, and I think that’s important as well. I was super happy and so excited that he asked me to marry him. Are you one of those people who has been imagining your wedding day since you were 4? I think every girl pretty much dreams about what she would like for her wedding day, but I’m also not very traditional. I actually want a small wedding; I don’t want a big, poufy dress. I want to be on a beach. I think those things will definitely happen. It was reported you had the choice between two Lorraine Schwartz rings. What made you pick the ring that you did? I don’t actually wear a lot of jewelry; I’m very minimal. If I do like jewelry, it’s very traditional. What I did love about the ring I chose was it has a G and an S on the back, and in the S is my birthstone, amethyst. So that’s really special to me. Now that you’ve accomplished your goal of walking in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, what are some new goals you’ve set for yourself this year? Working with a charity, working with younger girls, is a goal of mine. From my experience of being bullied, I want to help kids, to give them the knowledge, to guide them and support them, if they are dealing with bullying and issues at school. od

THE risE of brickEll

The country’s fastestgrowing metropolis is creating a bustling city life just miles away from Miami’s beautiful beaches. by jon warech

In the fall of 2009—the middle of the financial- and condo-markets crash—Eddy Arriola was in the process of purchasing what is now Apollo Bank in Brickell. He snuck into the building after work hours to do his due diligence because the wealthy Chilean owners didn’t want their employees to worry. “At 9:30 pm I walked out, and there was no place for me to eat, no place for me to grab a drink,” says Arriola, Apollo Bank’s CEO. “I looked up at the residential towers behind our building, and there was not one light on. I remember thinking, The world has come to an end, and we’re buying a bank.” In just six years, everything has changed. Brickell is now, unequivocally, the center of Miami. It is the heart of the city’s financial, residential, and soon, commercial, universe, and it seemingly happened overnight. “By April 2010, when I took out the new management team for drinks, there was a happening scene at Mary Brickell Village, and those two residential buildings had half the lights on,” recalls Arriola, who feels moving his company’s headquarters to Brickell was the best decision they made. “I realized afterwards that the financial meltdown and real estate crash had been a great thing for Brickell to fulfill its destiny as a place to live, work, and play.” The crash allowed an influx of young people, who originally couldn’t afford the high prices, to call the neighborhood home and make the area, for lack of a better term, cool. “We started off in 2009 with 62 percent occupancy, and that grew over the next four years to 95 percent occupancy,” says Alyce Robertson, executive director of Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA), who estimates the current population base to be largely 25- to 44-year-olds. “There were virtually no condos left to be had.” That diverse group of young professionals found themselves enjoying happy hours at Truluck’s, downing cocktails at Blackbird Ordinary, and belting out karaoke accompanied by a live band at Blue Martini. And that was just on a Tuesday. “There’s a new generation here who used to go large two or three nights a week on South Beach that are now coming to Brickell,” says Buster Cox, who

brainchild of David Grutman, the South Beach nightclub king, and serves decadent dishes from lunch until the early-morning hours with a side of energy usually reserved for South Beach. Down the street, Peruvian restaurant Coya offers a members-only lounge with a seasonally changing cocktail list and exclusive events. And El Tucán delivers live shows during two nightly dinner seatings, creating a unique club atmosphere reminiscent of 1940s Cuba. Many, like El Tucán, could be found in South Beach, but partners and founders Michael Ridard and Mathieu Massa (who also own Bâoli in South Beach) opted for the new bright lights of Brickell. “One reason is the local Latin community, and the other is that there was no nightlife entertainment here and all those people didn’t want to drive to South Beach,” says Massa, who has seen everyone from locals to Will Smith dance the night away in his club. “We wanted to attract locals instead of tourists. That’s who makes you survive.” Proving the neighborhood’s diversity, residents also love Sidebar, a place where businesspeople can loosen their tie and grab a cocktail among skater kids and local artists. “We get so many walks of life,” says owner Jason Odio, who is also opening Baby Jane this year. “Locals seem to be clamoring for new experiences in new areas.”

“The financial meltdown and real estate crash had been a great thing for Brickell to fulfill its destiny as a place to live, work, and play.” —Eddy Arriola

The catalyst in the urbanization of Miami is Brickell City Centre, the $1.05 billion mixed-use development that will include luxury shopping, two residential towers, an East Hotel, and two mid-rise office towers. “We felt the development was a symbol for the future of Miami,” says Clare Laverty of Swire Properties, the developer. “We were trying to curate a lifestyle and build off the model that we have in Hong Kong and China, where you have these very successful mixed-use urban developments where people live, work, and play, and stay on the hotel side.” Brickell City Centre will create a hub within the urban core and fill in the gaps, allowing more Brickell residents to ditch their cars and live the city life they so desire. People will stroll up on foot, ride a Citi Bike, or take the Metrorail or Metromover to dine at Quinto La Huella, sip cocktails at Sugar, and shop at

hosts the karaoke night at Blue Martini. “They have their new condos in Brickell, so this is where they want to be.” The rise in Brickell’s popularity allowed for a surge in luxury, introducing high-end residences such as The Related Group’s Arquitectonica-designed Icon Brickell, which wowed buyers with its 28,000-squarefoot spa and $5 million abstract “faces” sculpture garden entrance. “I think it pushed prices and created a mass of wealthy buyers and renters,” says Carlos Rosso, president of the condominium division at The Related Group. “With those wealthy buyers and wealthy renters came good restaurants, a great hotel, and amazing amenities.” On the Icon Brickell property alone, there’s Cipriani Downtown, a David Beckham favorite; Cantina La Veinte, where Owen Wilson dined during Art Basel; and Fifty Ultra Lounge, where Pamela Anderson hosted a New Year’s Eve party. Around town, a similar transformation occurred with fine dining and high-end nightlife venues popping up, creating options for locals and visitors with varying tastes in lifestyle. There’s the award-winning El Cielo, a Colombian restaurant from chef Juan Manuel Barrientos, that’s bringing life to the Miami River, and as Robertson of the DDA says, “has a romantic feel to it.” Komodo, in the heart of Brickell, is the

Valentino, Chopard, or the 107,000square-foot Saks Fifth Avenue. “Miamians are learning how to walk again,” says Related Group’s Rosso, who notes that Latin American buyers used to places like Mexico City, Caracas, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo enjoy an urban center. “All those characters that were in our brochures walking the streets are starting to show up in Brickell.” And much like the influx of youth, Miamians can also thank the market crash for the creation of Brickell City Centre. According to Stephen Owens, president of Swire Properties, the initial two blocks of the now five-block center were on the market in 2007 for $110 million. “We bought it in October 2008—roughly two weeks after Lehman Brothers went out of business and the banking industry was in total chaos—for $41 million,” says Owens. “It was probably overpriced at $110 million, but we think we got a pretty good buy at 40 cents on the dollar.” You can call it good fortune, but anyone tracking Swire’s work in Brickell knows the deal was simply shrewd business. The company’s vision for this thriving city life began in 1979, when it purchased Claughton Island and renamed it Brickell Key. “We did that because we wanted to be part of the Brickell community,” says

The bar at Peruvian restaurant Coya.

Owens. “There were certainly some that challenged our thinking and said, ‘Why don’t you stay this exclusive, private island?’ But we felt being part of the Brickell district was where we should position ourselves for the future.” The deal, which in retrospect was a Louisiana Purchase-like steal at $17 million for 80 percent of the island—“You’d probably get 10 times that for just one of the building lots today,” says Owens—laid the foundation for the mixed-use environment with residential, commercial, and office space, and a pedestrian day walk surrounding the island to boot. Swire added the upscale Mandarin Oriental in 2000 because the international brand shared the company’s vision for Brickell’s future. “They didn’t look at Miami as being exclusively a by-product of the US economy, but one that was an economy expanding in a different direction, which was clearly to the south,” he says. “They saw the prospect of Miami, not just the potential.” It sparked a growth that led to necessary hotels like Conrad Miami and Four Seasons, and a flood of luxury high-rise condominiums that despite a market crash could not be built fast enough. Yes, there were scary moments (“There was a period of time when [the company] sent me back to Hong Kong for three years,” says

Owens), but those, like Swire, The Related Group, and Ugo Colombo’s CMC Group, who “saw the prospect” prevailed. On this cycle alone, Related Group has residential towers 1100 Millecento and My Brickell completed, and Brickell Heights—a two-tower, 690-unit luxury condominium with five rooftop pools and 50,000-square-foot Equinox and Brickell’s first SoulCycle studio—set for completion this year. The company also has SLS Brickell and SLS Lux Brickell Hotel & Residences in the works, separate projects in collaboration with hospitality group sbe that will welcome fine dining like Katsuya and offer a combination hotel and residence with amenities unparalleled in Miami. Possibly the largest project of them all, One Brickell, will contain three towers

combining residential, hotel, office, and retail—continuing the all-in-one trend that is the wave of the future in town. Colombo, who helped shape the Brickell skyline early on with Bristol Tower and Santa Maria (and Epic Residences and Hotel just across the river), is also playing a major role in what his company calls the “Manhattanization” of Brickell, with the addition of Brickell Flatiron, a 64-story residential tower that will be the largest of its kind south of New York. “Back then, buying a condo was about living in a house without the hassle of the house,” Colombo says of his first buildings. “Today, the perspective has changed, and the focus is on the convenience of living in the urban core.” Among the conveniences of Brickell

Flatiron when it opens in 2018 will be a rooftop gym, pool, and Sky Spa in a spot where Colombo opted for a common area instead of a multimillion-dollar penthouse in order to cater to the needs of the modern resident. “I wouldn’t be surprised if on a really clear day you can see Bimini,” he says of the rooftop view. “As they say, the sky is the limit.” That’s the common mantra among Brickell developers, restaurateurs, and shop owners. There is no limit to what the neighborhood can become, and it’s all happening because the goal of city living is universal. “At the end of the day, we in the development community are all building this new urban Miami together,” says Owens. “It’s not one against the other. We’re doing it collectively.” OD

Part of what makes Brickell special is that it’s not just a concrete jungle with a cement skyline. Matching the beauty of Biscayne Bay are buildings with an artistic flair both inside and out. The Related Group has made the famous Fernando Botero sculpture the face (or “torso” in this case) of the SLS Lux Brickell Hotel & Residences. Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the lobby at SLS Lux will also feature museumquality art curated by the Related team. Brickell Heights’ interiors come courtesy of David Rockwell, who designed the 2009 and 2010 Oscar sets, and Fabian Burgos will paint several murals for the building’s exterior. “Those are things that we think help promote Brickell and make it a better place with more soul and more personality,” says Carlos Rosso of The Related Group. Over at Brickell Flatiron, artist Julian Schnabel has been tapped to create the public spaces, and based on the sales center he designed, they should be works of art in their own right. Finally, Brickell City Centre is home to the $30 million Climate Ribbon, which combines aesthetics and science to manage airflow and temperature through a 150,000-square-foot piece of art.

FIREMAN’S DOZEN Full-time Miami firefighter Derek Kaplan puts out blazes, saves lives, and bakes up a storm at his Fireman Derek’s bakery in Wynwood.

SIT IN A ROOM WITH MIAMI GOURMANDS long enough and it’s only a matter of time before someone starts comparing the Magic City to food meccas like New York, Chicago, or San Francisco. Typically the conversation will end with the question “So, why aren’t we there yet?” The answer: Because we got a late start—but we’re on our way. A young metropolis, Miami was founded in 1896 (compare that to 1624 for New York or 1776 for San Francisco). Miami Beach celebrated its

centennial just last year, while Joe’s Stone Crab will wrap up its 102nd season this year. If you think about it, it’s pretty remarkable that the only restaurant in the city that’s been around longer than the city itself also happens to be the secondhighest-grossing dining spot in the country (topped only by Tao Las Vegas). Yet the artisanal movement is transforming the culinary scene in Miami faster than anywhere else. If you need proof, simply pay a visit to Zak

Do you remember your first foray into the baking industry? You could say Slice & Ice in Coconut Grove were the first people to carry my pie. My first real customer was Michelle Bernstein in 2008, who tried it, loved it, and bought it for a month before her pastry chef had a fit. Do you remember the first pie you baked? Yes, in the sense that I remember squeezing the Key limes by hand into the measuring cup, and I remember separating the eggs and grinding the graham cracker. I remember all that—cooling it, putting it in the freezer, and cutting myself pieces throughout the week. How many pies are you turning out weekly? The week of Thanksgiving, we did 2,000 pies. On a regular basis we probably sell 250 to 300 a week, not including cheesecakes, cakes, cookies, brownies… What’s the secret? All fresh stuff. We don’t use or add any sugar; we use high-quality condensed milk, fresh egg yolks, and fresh juice from real Key limes. We go through about 1,200 pounds of Key limes a month. Fireman Derek’s isn’t all pies and sweets, though. A lot of people don’t know that we do breakfast and lunch—sandwiches, croissants, quiche Lorraine. Most underrated item? The empanadas. Everything from chicken to spinach and feta to queso. How much sugar do you consume? I’ve been diabetic since I was 13. I work out like a maniac and burn a lot of calories, so my muscles need sugar. Once or twice a week, I’ll have a piece of pie.

A selection of tacos at Taquiza (FROM LEFT): huitlacoche, lengua (with house-made charred cherry-pepper hot sauce), and al pastor. BELOW: Steve Santana torches corn for the elote (Mexican-style street corn), to be topped with cilantro-jalapeño crema, aged Cotija cheese, and Tajin seasoning.

TORTILLA TYCOON Steve Santana grinds out Miami’s most authentic tacos from a tiny shack on Collins called Taquiza. Why tacos? Washington Charles [my partner] and I know the guy who owns MI Miami Beach Hostel, the hostel that Taquiza is in, from our days at the Freehand [The Broken Shaker]. He had this space and called us to do something that was simple, cool, and people could walk up to. He said, “Let’s do tacos.” The only thing I kept saying is, “If we do tacos, we have to do them authentic and grind the corn.” Meanwhile, I’d never done any of that. So how did you learn? I’m still learning and tweaking, but we were so close to opening that we had to learn on the fly. I bought all these books on Amazon. One of my favorite people ever, Dave Arnold, president of the Museum of Food and Drink, did a random blog post years ago about the whole process of cooking corn and how to grind. That’s what I refer to. Where do you get your product? We started with Anson Mills yellow corn from South Carolina, but now we use blue corn exclusively from Masienda that comes directly from Michoacán in Mexico. How much do you make daily? We’re going through about 20 kilos of masa a day. How should people dress their taco at Taquiza? We started with four—barbacoa, pastor, lengua, and carnitas—and now we have nine. Cilantro, onion, and radish—that’s what I would do. What’s next? Breakfast: burritos, egg quesadillas, maybe a twist on a huevo ranchero. And the Grdn, a beer-focused bar mostly showcasing local breweries, like MIA and J. Wakefield, and artisan hot dogs.

BIG CHEESE At the hidden North Miami gem Mimmo’s Mozzarella, cheese maker Bruno Ponce uses his hands to craft decadent wedges.

At Mimmo’s Mozzarella, a board of aged yellow cheese studded with Kalamata olives and bresaola; rollatini with prosciutto and arugula; hand-stretched Burrata; and a fresh mozzarella nodini skewer. RIGHT: Cheese maker Bruno Ponce.

Stern’s kosher Wynwood bakery, Zak the Baker, where his sourdough bread generates a line of people out the door every day. “We didn’t revolutionize the advent of bread,” Stern says. (Indeed, bread has been baked for some 2,600 years.) “We’re simply carrying out the oldest tradition in the world, but I’m glad Miami is starting to be proud of homegrown initiatives.” His beautifully baked loaves can also be found at local Whole Foods supermarkets alongside other South Florida delicacies, like Funky Buddha sourdough (made with grains from Funky Buddha Brewery’s Floridian Hefeweizen), Jammy Yummy organic vegetable jams (produced in the small home kitchen of Agnès Gallardo), and Keez Beez raw wildflower honey. “When I think of an artisan,” Stern says, “I think of a person who makes something with their hands.” And more than ever, Miami’s restaurants and culinary craftspeople are devoting their time to meticulous handiwork. Take unassuming cheese maker Bruno Ponce (a former executive chef at Casa Tua), who twists and turns 560 pounds of cheese by hand daily, crafting spheres of fresh Burrata (with flecks of porcini and truffle), knots of mozzarella, and other dairy delights. His work is delivered to Italian standbys such as Joey’s, NiDo Caffe, Café Abbraci, Café Vialetto, and Café Ragazzi,

as well as major players like Juvia, the Biltmore’s Fontana, and Michelle Bernstein’s Seagrape. Each restaurant gives the cheese its own spin (and price), but the best way to savor Ponce’s cheesy dexterity is in his sliver of a café, Mimmo’s Mozzarella, with a board for two, a bottle of wine, and maybe even a pizza. “Miami has changed enormously in the last 10 years,” says world-renowned chef Eric Ripert, owner of Le Bernardin in New York City. “I remember 20 years ago, Miami was a challenging place to find a good restaurant that was not linked to a nightclub, but today you eat extremely well in Miami Beach, in North Miami, in Aventura. Everywhere you go you can find some great food.” At the new farm-to-table restaurant Dirt, the eggs arrive from Fort Lauderdale’s Sun Fresh Farm & Ranch, where the chickens roam free and enjoy leftovers from the grocer, while fertilizing the soil to grow kale. The names of local farms like Verde, Paradise, Little River, Harpke, and Swank grace the menus of restaurants all over town. “We don’t have a freezer,” says Elad Zvi, a partner in the hyperlocal 27 Restaurant & Bar. From the arepas to the malawach (a fried bread originating with Yemenite Jews) to the guava pan de bono, everything at 27 is made from scratch—and what it doesn’t

You were originally a pizza maker. How did you end up in the cheese business? Pizza and cheese go hand in hand, literally. I’ve worked with my hands for 28 years, made pizza for 15, but didn’t know how to make cheese by hand when it’s the most artisanal act. I wanted to master the craftwork. So how did you learn? Working at Sardinia, this guy Mimmo made all the cheese. I convinced him to teach me. What’s the process? It starts at 6 AM every day. We get the curd from Massachusetts and boil water to mix with it and make a paste similar to pizza. Once the temperature and texture are ready, then we modify it and make them one by one and always by hand. Isn’t it easier to use a machine? Yeah, it’s easier, but I’m creative and don’t like shortcuts. What are the options and what’s your favorite? The Burrata—it’s creamy and explodes in your mouth. We also have mozzarella rollatini with bresaola and arugula, yellow cheese with sun-dried tomato and mozzarella, ricotta salata, aged cheese with truffle and porcini, and for dessert ricotta panna cotta and stracciatella with berries and honey reduction. What’s your biggest pet peeve when it comes to cheese? When they use the same knife to cut a Brie and blue cheese. Every cheese has its own distinct taste; you need to not mix up the flavor profiles. You’ll be participating in the South Beach Wine & Food Festival for the first time this year. How did that happen? They called us to be in Italian Feast on the Beach at the Delano, hosted by Giada De Laurentiis, and we can’t wait to feed everyone our cheese.

SAUSAGE KING Established in 2011 by Freddy Kaufmann and his wife, Danielle, Proper Sausages went from their home kitchen to farmers markets to nationwide delivery. Where does the name come from? My wife was always very clear about a couple of things she felt were lacking in this town, one being sausage. The English take it kind of seriously. Local sausage is part of a meal over there, and here, sausage would always be so horribly disappointing. What is a proper sausage? Something you can have with a plate of mashed potatoes and gravy for dinner or on a brunch plate with potatoes and beans. Was there an outlet that helped launch Proper Sausages? We started at farmers markets, but Blue Collar was the first restaurant. I staged for owner Daniel Serfer when he was chef de cuisine for Allen Susser, and he opened his doors at the same time we started selling. Which farms do you work with and what are the criteria for selecting them? We like to know what animals are eating—antibiotic- and hormone-free and fed in ways that are natural. Jackman Ranch in Clewiston, Lake Meadow Farms in Ocoee, and a group of farms called Berkwood in Iowa are where most of our pork comes from. What’s the biggest misconception people have about the meat they’re eating? That there’s something inherently unhealthy about meat. The industrialization of meat is 150 years old, if that; you know how long ago humans started eating meat, and nobody started dying of cancer until the last 150 years. What are the top sellers? The Dub, Fig & Blue Cheese, Proper, Proper Chorizo, the Wynwood Porter, and the Romagna, which is specific to a part of Italy and has rosemary, white wine, and garlic.

“Twenty years ago, Miami was a challenging place to find a good restaurant, but today you eat extremely well. Everywhere you go you can find some great food.”—eric ripert get from local farms or fishermen, it plucks straight from its rooftop garden. Mandolin, Essensia, Beaker & Grey, Edge Steak & Bar, Alter, and Basil Park are just a few of the many local restaurants growing their own produce, but the ethical sourcing of animal products is equally important. At Golden Fig, the lardo (made in-house with a prep time of six weeks) comes from a Hungarian breed of domestic pig called Mangalitsa. Superbly juicy with phenomenal f lavor, the meat is shipped overnight via FedEx from Pasture Prime Farm near Orlando, which also raises grass-fed Wagyu beef and free-range poultry. Kush and Social Club are cooking up Florida alligator. Trigger Seafood braves Mother Nature every morning to haul the day’s catch from deep ocean waters to the kitchens of places like Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, DB Bistro, and 27. The butcher shop and meat market Proper Sausages in North Miami is responsible for the links at Mignonette, Blue Collar, Seven Dials, Fooq’s, and Kush, where the craft beers are either local (some aged in the cellar) or extremely rare. At the craft beer market Bxlder, you can imbibe a rotating selection of 15 local brews (or take one home in a growler). Speaking of suds, Wynwood (and Miami) is well on its way to becoming a brewing mecca. With Wynwood Brewing Company, J. Wakefield, and Concrete Beach within walking distance of each other, you could easily drink your way through all three in one day. Or trek to MIA Brewing in Doral, Funky Buddha in Oakland Park, or Schnebly Redland’s Winery & Brewery in Homestead, the only winery-brewery combo in South Florida. California may be the country’s largest grower of grapes, but in the Sunshine State we’ve got tropical fruits, and at Schnebly you can sip vino made with local avocados, lychees, guavas, or mangos. While you’re down in

Homestead, you might want to join the hourlong (if you’re lucky) line at Knaus Berry Farm (now in its 59th season) for its famed strawberry milkshakes and freshly baked cinnamon rolls. They’re worth the wait. For the city’s craftiest pizza, it’s a toss-up: Proof, Lucali, and Visa-O1 (hidden inside a residential building) all nix the mixer when creating their dough, using nothing but bare hands—a skill so rare that it lends Visa-O1 its name (an O1 visa is for immigrants who possess an “extraordinary ability”) and earned owner Renato Viola a spot on Italy’s award-winning Acrobatic Pizza Team. At Macchialina, Michael Pirolo and his longtime pasta sidekick Francisco Fernandez serve up seven to 10 fresh varieties at a time. For a different kind of doughy experience, head to the only authentic ramen house in town, Momi, where Jeffrey Chen maintains Japanese tradition by starting his broth at 6 am every day. Or to Tropical Chinese, where employees have been pushing carts stacked with handmade dim sum for three decades. Even Alter is making its own Chinese-style udon noodles, cutting them by hand and crowning them with local rabbit and porcini sabayon. Try them with the house-made bread, crusted in sumac and dill (only 20 loaves are baked daily) and served with a life-changing umami butter. Lovers of carbs can sate their craving at True Loaf in Sunset Harbour, where Tomas Strulovic bakes the city’s best croissants. His bread and pastries can also be found at Panther Coffee, among other establishments around town. Miami chefs are going the distance for authenticity, like all the way up to Davie at dawn to get warm buttery rolls from Old School Bakery (that’s its actual name) for the fried clam belly and lobster roll at Izzy’s Fish & Oyster. “Steve O’Leary has been baking bread for 45 years,” says William Crandall,

BREAKING BREAD Zak the Baker’s freshly baked sourdough has become a hot commodity for locals, the city’s top eateries, and even Whole Foods.

the executive chef at Izzy’s (and formerly Azul). “Once you taste it, you’ll understand.” To make its authentic croque monsieur, Fooq’s gets its bread from La Parisienne up in Sunny Isles. At the Edgewater pearl Mignonette, the rare, exclusive wild oysters come straight from Maine’s Damariscotta River through a partnership with Sea Salt Lobster. The taco bungalow Taquiza sources its blue corn from Michoacán, Mexico, and practices the lost art of nixtamalization to produce the perfect tortilla, which is delivered to Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Matador Room and Tom Colicchio’s Beachcraft, restaurants from celebrity chefs who rely on local artisans. Here in Miami, it’s also fruitful (and flavorful) to stay as close to home as possible by working with our native ingredients. When mango season begins, Alex Chang, the executive chef at Vagabond, goes foraging for unripe fruits to combine with ripe mangos in his green mango umeboshi, an explosion of Miami tropicality. Even the Cuban sandwich has gone artisanal at places like Miami Smokers, where it features everything from house-baked bread to Wynwood Brewery beer – spiked mustard and pickles. They take a DIY approach to charcuterie, just like Aaron Brooks at Edge Steak & Bar and Patrick

Rebholz at Quality Meats. Visit Edge two nights in a row and chances are Brooks will have added something new (such as cheesy kielbasa or chicken liver pâté) to his house-made selections, while at Quality Meats the Jai Alai “pigs ’n blanket style” sausage (made with Cigar City Brewing’s Jai Alai IPA) is a hot charcuterie staple. And let’s not forget dessert. Miami’s heat has turned ice cream into a local institution. Stop by Azucar Ice Cream Company for a scoop of its trademarked Abuela Maria (cream cheese ice cream with Maria cookies and guava) or any of its 20-plus uniquely Miami flavors, such as sweet plantain or café con leche. Wynwood new kid on the block Serendipity churns out innovative combinations like peanut sriracha and cacao lavender, while the Grove’s Bianco serves organic gelato made from local fruit and the milk of happy cows. But nowhere is sugar more exalted than at the psychedelic Wynwood bake shop Fireman Derek’s, where Miami firefighter Derek Kaplan whips up a plethora of pies (try the flagship Key lime), cheesecakes, flans, and cookies. Proper Sausages founder Freddy Kaufmann asks, “Can you imagine a neighborhood where everyone is on that same level?” Yes, we can, and it’s the future of Miami. OD

You went from the pharmacy to bread making. How did that happen? I was 22 and depressed. I didn’t know very much about anything in life. I knew biology, but I didn’t know how to build a house, tend clothes, grow a garden, bake a loaf of bread, so I took a chance and dropped out of school and started this pathless journey of going from one farm to the next, learning the basics of life. Why come back to Miami and start baking? I broke up with a girl and had two options: become a German carpentry apprentice or start doing my own project. So I chose my own and went to Central Florida and bought four Alpine goat babies, started raising them in my backyard, and put a used pizza oven in the garage. Michelle Bernstein was your gateway to Miami’s culinary scene. How did you two get together? I started off at a farmers market, then Perricone’s, who suggested I take my bread to Michelle. She tried it and within one second said, “When can you start?” and I said, “Next week,” which was a lie. I was so not ready to begin baking bread for Michelle Bernstein. Things will change soon when you move to a gallery as a full-time restaurant/bakery. Basically it’ll be an artisan bread factory with an outside coffeehouse. The current place will turn into a traditional and certified kosher deli. What’s your favorite loaf of bread? At home we eat the whole wheat because we still have hippie tendencies. With stinky fish, I like the dark rye. On Shabbat, I like challah. On a Reuben, I like Jewish rye. There’s a time and a place for every bread.

Even more than hyperbole, the thing that writing about Art Basel in Miami Beach most suffers from is repetition. Last year the parties were crazy. This year, too. Next year, most likely. Even numbers get repeated. Big ones. As in: Did you hear about the $15 million Francis Bacon? Or the $10.5 million Picasso? (They both sold.) Of last year’s fair, we wrote, “There was something in the air during Art Basel in Miami Beach: rain.” This year, more of the same. Massive amounts. Something feet deep on Collins, flowing into places like FDR at the Delano, where Le Baron had set up shop, and inflating countless Uber charges, with surge pricing peaking at 9.9 times the usual fare. And yet, again like last year, the party(s) went on, grandly. Galleries sold, collectors bought, and the Champagne, like the rain, flowed ceaselessly. It was indeed another Art Basel to remember.

Surveying Under the stewardship of Noah Horowitz, Art Basel’s new director Americas, the fair continued its dominance of this third of the art world, with 77,000 people attending the seven-day event, a bump of 4,000 from last year. While many millions of dollars changed hands, it’s safe to say that the lion’s share of guests came to browse, with thousands of works displayed by 267 leading galleries from around the world. And there was nowhere better to do this than the Survey sector, now in its second year. Fourteen single-artist booths further blurred the lines between trade show and museum. One standout was Harlem photographer Roy DeCarava’s glimpse of midcentury black culture, presented by the Jenkins Johnson Gallery. Another surprise was the 1960s post-minimalist works of Keith Sonnier—using light and latex, they could have been made tomorrow—shown by Castelli Gallery. Also impressive were Walead Beshty’s drilled flat-screen TVs at Regen Projects; Alex Katz’s timeless portraits of his wife, Ada, at Gavin Brown; and Egan Frantz’s work at Michael Jon, which incorporated idiosyncratic materials like toilet paper and a folding bicycle.

Here ComeS tHe neigHborHood Much to the chagrin of causeway warriors, Miami’s art world continued to expand in all directions in 2015. The Design District was on fire, with an acclaimed Martha Friedman exhibit at Locust Projects, plus shows by Alex Bag and Shannon Ebner at the ICA. Also in the Moore Building was “UnRealism,” a sprawling, open-armed look at figuration in contemporary painting and sculpture, put together by Jeffrey Deitch and Larry Gagosian. Elsewhere, Little Haiti and Little River saw a ton of traffic this year, as some of the city’s best galleries moved north. Gallery Diet had a gorgeous show of conceptual landscape paintings by Ann Craven, as well as “Trees in Oolite,” an exhibition of outdoor design in the courtyard. Around the corner is the new Michael Jon space, where newcomer Sofia Leiby blew the doors off gesture. Anthony Spinello christened his new gallery with several late-night soirées, including his “Littlest Sister” fair. Back on the beach, interest also trickled southward, as longtime North Beach stalwart NADA (the New Art Dealers Alliance) traded the Deauville for the Fontainebleau.

open HouSe For many noteworthy Miami collectors, Art Basel is an annual opportunity to open their homes to the art world. This year, the Rubells staged an exhibition of work by more than 100 female artists called “No Man’s Land,” with a monumental Solange Pessoa sculpture made entirely of human hair stealing the show. Like the Rubells’ “28 Chinese” and “30 Americans,” this exhibit was historic from the get-go. The other two members of Miami’s private/public collection trinity—the de la Cruz and the Margulies—didn’t disappoint either. At the de la Cruz, “You’ve Got to Know the Rules… to Break Them” presented eminent artists like Martin Kippenberger and Albert Oehlen alongside celebrated newcom-

ers like JPW3. And the Margulies offered one of the most ambitious installations of the season, part of a massive retrospective from Anselm Kiefer. Encapsulating the German neo-Expressionist’s relationship to history and nature, the heart-stopping The Secret of the Ferns is a gallery-sized work comprising 48 entropic compositions and two concrete bunkers. Across the water, Dennis and Debra Scholl presented an exhibit curated by Franklin Sirmans, director of Pérez Art Museum Miami: a canny mix of contemporary art that also highlighted the Scholls’ recent foray into Aboriginal painting. Speaking of PAMM, the museum pulled out all the stops with an exceptionally important—and exciting—show from Nari Ward. But the ultimate place to be might have been Stephen and Petra Levin’s North Bay Road home (host to Ocean Drive’s Art of the Party with Katie Holmes), where they showed works by a pantheon of art stars: Warhol, Koons, Ai Weiwei, Hirst, Fischer, Banksy, Murakami, and more.

Meanwhile… Another big story this past December was the New Art Dealers Alliance’s move to the Fontainebleau. The organization’s NADA Miami fair was smaller than in years past, more diverse, and generally fantastic. “The Fontainebleau was a great venue,” says Night Gallery partner Mieke Marple. “It was nice to have a smaller selection of galleries in one room rather than three rooms with different carpet. It looked way more elegant. NADA definitely stepped up its game.” Night’s booth had an exciting Anne Libby sculpture: a picnic table standing on end, with the bulk of its plastic top cut away, revealing a brutal yet decorative framework. Unexpected materiality also distinguished Marlborough Chelsea’s booth, which featured a classical nude by Tony Matelli made from distressed concrete and topped with hyperrealistic strawberries meticulously fabricated out of bronze. It sold for $75,000. Miami was represented by Guccivuitton, which exhibited a group of owner Aramis Gutierrez’s darkly impressionist paintings. The gallery had an eventful year. Fresh off an acclaimed show at the ICA, where it turned the museum into a commercial space, it was hit with a cease-and-desist order from Gucci. Like some impossibly high-end Ikea, the DesignMiami/ fair again had a fantastic vibe, as visitors walked among the booths imagining themselves in their dream homes. Especially eye-catching was Quintus Kropholler’s Black Gold series at Chamber, for which the Dutch designer forged cleanly minimalist forms out of asphalt to critique our reliance on fossil fuels.

…and Part two Down the beach was the perennially pleasing art fair known as Untitled, featuring 127 curated booths (up from 50 the first year) illuminated by natural light. The scale was still amicable and the work affable, but perhaps the best spot was the lounge, where Italian provocateur Maurizio Cattelan took over with his publication Toiletpaper, known for its giddily subversive stock photos. On the back deck, the Brooklyn gallery Helper set up a tiki bar selling fresh fruit cocktails and art objects, including hand-painted matchbooks by Elizabeth Ferry and bronze Donald Trump heads. At the other 17 area art fairs, there was simply too much to see.

the BottoM line So how was this year’s Art Basel? Pace sold 12 Louise Nevelson sculptures in the first hour. A few hours later, I ran into a friend from Marianne Boesky at Free Spirits, the slightly more civilized alternative to Club Deuce. The gallery certainly hadn’t needed help moving its Frank Stella pieces, riding high

on the Whitney’s current Stella retrospective. “The work’s already been done,” he laughed. Van de Weghe Fine Art will be able to keep the lights on this winter, having sold Francis Bacon’s 1954 painting Man and Blue, listed at $15 million, and a Picasso listed at $10.5 million. At Thaddaeus Ropac, a Warhol silk screen of Joseph Beuys went for $1.4 million. David Zwirner parted with a 2005 Neo Rauch painting for $1.5 million, the same price that Hauser & Wirth got for Paul McCarthy’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves – themed work. Numerous galleries touted many sales in the $20,000 to $200,000 range.

Party time! Art Basel’s galaxy of parties usually centers on the opening of a new hotel, and this year it was the Nautilus, where each night brought a different party. On Tuesday, Pusha T performed a short set as guests either crowded the stage or lounged in the cabanas flanking the pool. Up the strand at the Soho Beach House, Giorgio Moroder, one of the most influential music producers in history, deejayed the White Cube and Vinyl Factory party. On Wednesday, the Brazilian collective Assume Vivid Astro Focus teamed up with W magazine to install a roller-skating rink on the beach. Slightly more decadent was the bathtub of Perrier-Jouët stashed in the penthouse of the Faena Hotel. There were also predinner parties, sponsored concerts (such as Ellie Goulding’s intimate MAC Cosmetics jam), cocktail affairs, and product launches. Rob Pruitt was a busy guy, releasing a pair of shoes with Del Toro and designing the hand stamp for Le Baron. On Wednesday, if you had enough stamina, you could have hit the shoes’ debut at the Webster and stayed to receive the stamp at the Delano. On Saturday, you could go to the Setai to toast Ducati and Italia Independent’s gorgeous new limited-edition Scrambler. But more likely, you were stuck somewhere in the rain, which claimed its most high-profile victim of the week: PAMM’s Dev Hynes and Ryan McNamara performance on Thursday. In a meltdown of Day of the Locust proportions, the show was rained out and thousands of guests rushed to claim the too-few Ubers. Those who made it back to the beach found similar liquid carnage.

Celebrities behaving niCely There’s no better moment at Art Basel than watching the Wednesday-morning First Choice crowd barrel into the convention center—aka Black Friday for art lovers. Among them were Lenny Kravitz (who spun his own “Fly Away” while deejaying the Aby Rosen party), Sylvester Stallone (seen signing a contract of some sort, possibly for a purchase), Leonardo DiCaprio, Elle Macpherson, Alex Rodriguez, Mike Piazza, and artist Chuck Close, who perused row after row. Diane von Furstenberg breezed through the VIP opening with the casual elegance that has made her a legend. The Hiltons were there, sans scandal. Solange Knowles deejayed at the Design District’s Fendi store. Anthony Bourdain was seen steaming it up in the Standard’s hammam, while the likes of Jamie Foxx, Eva Longoria, Dwyane Wade, and Gabrielle Union popped around town.

rejuvenation The question on the lips of many, as always, was why? Why these collaborations? Why these sales figures? What quirk of history allows Basel week to happen, and why are we on the guest list while the rest of the hemisphere trudges toward the end of the year? While I don’t have a definitive answer, as the week came to a close, I received two clues, having to do with rejuvenation and destiny. On Thursday afternoon, I headed to the Nautilus for Nicolas Lobo’s con-

tribution to Artsy’s weeklong programming. The artist offered a variety of uniquely colorful face masks, which were applied, salon-style, to visitors’ visages. Robes were also available, as were color-coordinated box lunches. Guests lounged by the hotel pool (with its giant Katherine Bernhardt image on the bottom) as the masks took years off. The next day, I went back to the convention center. In the Nova sector, artists and curators Naomi Fisher and Agatha Wara teamed with two astrologers to create “Swamp of Sagittarius,” a star-chart reading installation. Having never had my astrological chart done, I provided the details of my life and sat on a beanbag chair set off from the chaos of the fair by a sheer curtain. Looking at my chart, my astrologer expressed amazement that I had chosen this of all days to receive my first reading. “This week is Saturn’s return,” he said. “Right now. Art Basel.” Unsure of what this meant, I nodded slowly as he added, “This is your destiny.” OD

Formerly known as South Pointe, the neighborhood now called South of Fifth has undergone an amazing transformation over the last two decades, from desolation to opulence, blighted to built-out. It was once home to drug dealers and vandals, but several visionary developers saw the potential in the southernmost tip of Miami Beach and took a gamble on the area. Today, South of Fifth, or SoFi, boasts some of the most luxurious residences in South Florida, if not the country—along with some of the highest prices. Completed projects include the Continuum (continuuminsouthbeach.com), Murano Grande (muranogrande.com), Icon South Beach (iconinsouthbeach.com), and Apogee (apogee condomiami.com), and more are just days from opening. “This is the epicenter of the highest-luxury-quality real estate that South Florida continued on page 210

“[South of fifth] iS the epicenter of the higheSt-luxury-quality real eState that South florida haS to offer.” —philip j. spiegelman has to offer,” says Philip J. Spiegelman, chairman of ISG World LLC, an Aventura-based sales and marketing firm. “And it’s the one neighborhood achieving the highest price per square foot for new construction and resales out of all the markets in South Florida.” Prices in South of Fifth range from about $2,500 to $3,500 per square foot, according to Spiegelman, with some sales breaking the $4,000 mark. “That starts to enter New York City territory,” he says. Of all the developers active in the neighborhood, probably none has had a greater impact than

Condo sales at Three Hundred Collins support Charity: Water.

Related Group, which has built eight projects in SoFi, according to Carlos Rosso, president of the firm’s condominium development division. “You are very lucky if you own a unit in that area,” he says. Related’s most recent projects include Marea (mareamiamibeach.com), a 30-unit boutique condominium building at 801 South Pointe Drive, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2015. One penthouse remains available, priced at $7.8 million. Throughout Marea’s lobby and common areas will be commissioned artwork by Riccardo De Marchi and Markus Linnenbrink, creating the feeling of a private gallery. Another Related project is One Ocean (oneoceanapartments.com), a 46-unit building (currently sold out) with four villas as well as a rooftop spa and solarium designed by Enzo Enea. Even commercial property goes for a premium in SoFi. Related sold the ground-floor commercial space at Marea for about $1,000 per square foot, according to Rosso. Within walking distance of these properties is Glass (glass120ocean.com), an 18 -story boutique building at 120 Ocean Drive, which has just 10 fullfloor residences. The striking all-glass tower was designed by Rene Gonzalez and built by Terra, with landscape design by Raymond Jungles. Now sold out, it was completed in November and happily calls the steakhouse Prime 112 its neighbor. At Louver House (louverhouse.com), a 12-unit condominium building at 311 Meridian Avenue, which

broke ground in December, the prices range from $2.5 million to $3.9 million. It will boast a sunken lobby garden, an outdoor yoga studio, and a rooftop garden deck. About half the units are sold. Meanwhile, 321 Ocean (321ocean.com), a 21-unit condo property completed last May by Aria Development Group, features two penthouses and two beach villas. Its units are equipped with sleek open kitchens and private elevators, and amenities include direct beach access and an oceanfront pool. Of course, luxury can have a conscience, too. Three Hundred Collins (300collins.com)—a 19-unit property slated for completion in 2017, which has available units priced from $1.7 million to more than $9 million—is doing something a little different. Developer Jason Halpern of JMH Development is donating $20,000 of every sale to Charity: Water, a nonprofit organization that provides clean, safe drinking water to people in developing countries. South Beach restaurateur Myles Chefetz (of Prime 112) recently purchased a $3 million corner unit in the building. Then there’s the very ambitious 800 First Street, a mixed-use project by Crescent Heights founder Russell Galbut, which includes two ground-floor restaurants—Red Ginger and Bakehouse—and three stories of parking, as well as a 17,000-squarefoot private residence for Galbut. South of Fifth offers more than just gracious living, however. In addition to Prime 112 and Red Ginger, it’s home to a wide variety of world-class dining establishments, such as Joe’s Stone Crab and Estiatorio Milos. “South of Fifth is the only true neighborhood in Miami Beach,” says broker Dora Puig, owner of Luxe Living Realty in Miami Beach, who has sold about $150 million worth of real estate in the area. “It’s small enough to be pedestrian-friendly, and everybody comes to relax and have fun. You’ve got some of the best restaurants in the city, the marina, a beautiful beach, and a park that wraps the point. What’s not to love?” OD

Destination Downtown an inventive developer and a leading broker discuss why buyers are begging to call miami’s thriving downtown— one of the city’s fastest-growing areas—home. by katie jackson Although once thought of as a place that had seen better days—or a place to work from 9 to 5, then quickly leave—downtown Miami has rapidly become a true destination, a center for culture and entertainment, with spacious homes wrapped in architectural ingenuity. Dan Kodsi, CEO of Royal Palm Companies, and Darin Feldman, a top Miami broker and founder of the downtown boutique luxury real estate

firm Insignia International Properties, are certainly wise to the many perks this booming area has to offer. Kodsi—lead developer on the 60-story, 466-unit Paramount, which promises to bring a new wave of evolution to the neighborhood— and Feldman, a downtown pioneer, discuss why buyers are flocking to this burgeoning location. Darin Feldman: Downtown

has a very special place in my heart. Right before the market crashed, in about 2007, I was approached by the hard-equity lender for Ten Museum Park. We became friends, and he asked me if I would like to resell the penthouse at Ten Museum. I sold it, and he gave me the whole resale program for the building, and that created my career downtown. Years later, I opened Insignia. I feel like

it’s a part of me, this area. Dan Kodsi: When you start looking at cities on the Eastern coast of the US, Miami really has the greatest potential of being that next city that provides an urban living experience. The generations of today are all looking for that style of living. People want to be where they can shop, dine, and be entertained all in one place, and [Paramount] is going to offer that. DF: You have Midtown, which just came to life, and you have Brickell and Coconut Grove—those were the areas. This is the one area that’s the connector. This is the area everyone was waiting for. DK: When you talk about

New York, for instance, you can go see a professional basketball game, you can see a Broadway show, go to museums, but you’ve really got to go to different parts of the city to experience them. Here it’s all within walking distance. The access is great, too. You can get to 395 and get to South Beach; you can get to I-95 within seconds. DF: I travel a lot, and whenever I say I’m from Miami, people go crazy. They say, “Oh, it’s got to be so exciting! Are there cranes everywhere?” And I say, “Yes, it’s an amazing city, because it’s a new city.” This is something that’s new and fresh, [downtown] especontinued on page 214

cially. People don’t realize that the entire waterfront is open to the public in downtown, too. Everyone has access to the waterfront. DK: We’ve seen trends where people just want to be outside. And I’ve seen so many [developers] do these wraparound balconies. They’re three- or five-foot wraparound balconies, and nobody ever furnishes them. What we did [at Paramount] was we created these boxes, which are really outdoor living rooms, and it’s an extension of your home. Now you can extend your indoor living room to your outdoor living room and have an outdoor living experience. DF: I can’t tell you how many calls I get from people saying, “I want to come downtown.” They come downtown and they go into buildings like Museum Park, and the average unit there is, like, 1,800 square feet for a two-bedroom, and their jaw drops when they walk through the door. And then they see the bay views, and then the price, and they’re like, “What’s wrong with it?” And I say, “Nothing!” DK: We have people come into the Paramount sales center who we think are coming to invest. Some people actually go to the extent of buying two residences. They buy one for an investment and then they say that the other is for when they come to Miami. It’s where they want to spend their time. DF: This is a neighborhood. This isn’t an area. It’s where people are going to live and play, go to museums and the symphony. They’re going to raise their families here. I think in the next cycle you’re going to see more schools—and private schools—come to this area. DK: As much as I want to say Paramount is going to transform the area, it’s the area, it’s the sidewalks and the urban parks—all of that together is what’s changing this neighborhood. Having the mix of residential homes, rentals, and hotels is going to bring people to the street. Having an active street is going to create that energy and a vibrant downtown. DF: This is an area in transition; we are way in the forefront. You’re a pioneer, and you have to understand there are advantages and disadvantages to being a pioneer. It’s gratifying to now look up and see a tower where I once stood and there was nothing. It’s gratifying when the people I sold to who were the first buyers in the building are still in the building. They love what I told them about [downtown], and it came true. Dan Kodsi, Royal Palm Companies, 1855 Griffin Road, Ste. A-370, Dania Beach, 954-771-6777; rpcholdings.com.

eminent domain Creative Collaboration

A Winning Combination Brazilian Furniture Designers Paulo Bacchi oF arteFacto anD Jader almeida team up For an exclusive collaBoration. by marcelle sussman fischler

216 oceandrive.com

A joint venture with star Brazilian furniture designer Jader Almeida is bringing a new dimension to the luxury furnishings brand Artefacto. For Paulo Bacchi, the 47-year-old Brazilian CEO of Artefacto USA and brand advisor to Artefacto Brazil, the curvy seats, low round wood tables, minimalist lighting fixtures, and other iconic designs of the 35-year-old Almeida add a young, cosmopolitan flair to his company and its stylish, sustainably sourced, mansion-worthy wares. But the award-winning Almeida’s first US shop-in-shop—geared toward a hip Brickell crowd and located in Artefacto Home’s 45,000-square-foot Aventura showroom— is only the beginning.

photography by Craig Denis; opposite page: photography by Craig Denis (furniture); Jon thaLer (aLmeiDa)

The furniture of acclaimed designer Jader Almeida— with its smooth, sensual lines and natural materials— has arrived at Artefacto.

Jader Almeida’s style “revolves around warmness and simplicity,” says Paulo Bacchi, “key characteristics that are also ingrained in Artefacto.”

Why is this collaboration between Artefacto and Jader Almeida such a perfect fit? Paulo Bacchi: Jader is considered the most important furniture designer in South America. His styles complement our collection. We’re warm contemporary—we mix organic woods. Our scale is larger for bigger residences. Jader has a younger collection. Jader Almeida: My products are smaller, lighter, with smooth, sensual lines. It is very refined; it’s like a jewel. It’s possible for the pieces to live together. You can mix and match with Artefacto. How did you two meet? PB: We were introduced by the director of Casa Vogue. She understood Jader’s need to export and mine of growing to more cosmopolitan cities than just Miami. JA: During Design Week in Milan in April, we talked about opening a showroom in Miami. It was very quick. I have showrooms all over Brazil, in Chile, Beirut, London, Paris, Tokyo—40 shops. Miami is a cosmopolitan city. Why not come together with a guy who knows the market, who is very established here? How does your work fit in with the new and old Miami? JA: The ambience of Miami is close to my city, Florianopolis, an island in the south of Brazil. It has the beaches—it’s vibrant. My pieces are timeless. They can mix with the old and new Miami style. PB: Miami is unique. It has a beach look. Everything is about the water. Jader’s collection is

very cosmopolitan. The pieces are smaller in scale. It will fulfill the need of the younger crowd, especially in the Brickell area. The apartments are more cosmopolitan than on the beach and bay. They have the city view and light, and they have the feel of New York. Jader, how would you describe your collection and style to the Miami buyer? JA: I have a big collection, more than 108 products: lamps, tables, trays, accessories, side tables, sofas. The colors are neutral but warm. It’s natural colors, natural materials—wood, leather, glass, copper, brass, upholstered fabrics, cottons, linens. I like everything low-profile. My low round table—it’s minimal, it’s a very flat table. When you sit in a chair, you can see across it. It’s about free space. It’s possible to use, but it’s like a sculpture, too. It’s comfortable to the eyes. It’s smooth. It’s peaceful. A chair is like a prosthesis—it extends the body. The lines follow the curves of the body. You can feel that when you use my product. PB: His style revolves around warmness and simplicity—key characteristics that are also ingrained in Artefacto. What is the design philosophy that goes into your pieces? JA: It is a timeless idea. You use it all your life, and it’s for the next generation. It’s a quiet, tasteful, natural design. The more time that passes, the more the people like it. They get an emotional relationship with the product. PB: We design the backdrop to our lives, so we always want it to be beautiful. Good design

nurtures the soul, our relationships and experiences. Paulo, Artefacto has had such success in South Florida. What are your plans for expansion? PB: We started a collaboration in Miami, and plans call for an Artefacto store with a Jader boutique in Soho, New York, in the next year. 17651 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura, 305-931-9484; artefacto.com; jaderalmeida.com OD

A Miami native and the owner of Luxe Living Realty in Miami Beach, Puig began her career in high-end real estate 25 years ago in Beverly Hills. Since then, she has been responsible for more than $1.6 billion in single-family home and condominium sales. In addition, she holds the sales record for a single unit on Fisher Island: the $35 million Penthouse 2 at Palazzo del Sol, where she is director of sales and marketing.

EMINENT DOMAIN Estatements Gables for $25 million, the most expensive single-family home ever sold in Miami. The star broker talks with Ocean Drive about who is buying in Miami today, the surprising trends in luxury living, and what’s hot for 2016. How is the market? We’ve all heard about how currency fluctuations are affecting Latin Americans. The market on the Miami side is definitely feeling that with international buyers because the dollar is strong. But the super-affluent, super-luxury market on Miami Beach—from South Beach to Bal Harbour—is almost immune. If anything has softened, it’s because prices have soared too high. Who’s buying now? Americans are back. In Miami Beach, we’re getting a lot of buyers from New York, Chicago, even

and Bal Harbour. Anything in South Beach. Have you been surprised by anything in the market? Single-family homes on the water have gotten hot because the waterfront condo projects have gotten too pricey. I’m talking about Miami Beach, Fisher Island—actually, from Key Biscayne all the way to Bal Harbour. Super-luxury single-family sells between $1,500 and $2,000 a foot, about 25 to 30 percent less than condominiums. What’s been surprising to me is that some people are going from looking at a large condominium to getting a house. What is the most exciting deal you’ve worked on since moving back to Miami? The Icon penthouse. It’s quintessential South Beach and also South of Fifth, which is my favorite neighborhood in the city. It was in 2012, and I had it listed for $19 million, but it turned into a bidding war between two buyers. I sold it for $21 million. How was selling real estate in Beverly Hills different than selling in South Florida? Beverly Hills is much more an American market, whereas Miami’s way more international. The price points in Beverly Hills were much higher, and the main thrust of the high-end residential business is single-family. The condominium business is not as huge as it is here. What are your predictions for 2016? Barring any world disaster, I think Miami Beach will continue to get stronger. I’ve sent my marketing team to China twice, and we think China’s going to be a player. But right now, in the short term, for 2016 I am gung ho on red, white, and blue and the USA buyers.

I’m in the middle of a large deal right now with a guy who’s selling his company for over $1 billion, and he’s buying a house so he can establish his domicile here. I’m also getting super-affluent Brazilians. Are you working on any celebrity deals now? I’ve worked with a lot of athletes and billionaires, big hedge fund and financial guys. I’m now working with someone super famous in the music industry. I’m listing a trophy property for him.

EMINENT DOMAIN Style Statement A rendering of the Miami Beach Convention Center hotel, potentially the final piece in the puzzle for the city’s conference business.

Meet & Greet MiaMi Beach readies itself for the ultiMate synergy Between work and play—a grand hotel at the MiaMi Beach convention center. by robyn a. friedman Talk to any resident or visitor and they’ll tell you that Miami Beach has it all: sun, sand, and salsa—not to mention world-class cuisine, shopping, and entertainment. What tourist hasn’t considered delaying his or her flight home to stick around in paradise just one more day? But to government officials and the local tourism industry, Miami Beach needs one additional thing to complete the perfect picture: a convention center hotel. Last year, the Miami Beach City Commission unanimously agreed to move forward with a $596 million project to expand and renovate the Miami Beach Convention Center. The location of Art Basel in Miami Beach and Maison&Objet Americas, the convention center is home to some of the region’s largest tourism draws. The expansion, designed by Denver-based Fentress Architects in collaboration with the Miami firm Arquitectonica, will add about 290,000 square feet to the 1.2 million-square-foot convention center, including a 60,000-square-foot grand ballroom. “The center has had three major addi-

tions, but 1987 was the last one,” says Maria Hernandez, project director for the Convention Center District. “There has been money invested in the building over time to maintain it, but this is the first time there is going to be a major ground-up restoration. There’s no corner of the building that won’t get improved in some way.” Construction commenced in December, Hernandez says, and is slated for completion by mid-2018. But even with a state-of-the-art convention center, the city still needs an adjacent headquarters hotel to be able to compete with cities like Las Vegas, Chicago, New Orleans, and Orlando, which draw a great deal of convention business. That’s why in May, City Manager Jimmy Morales was authorized to enter into negotiations with Atlanta-based Portman Holdings LLC for the development of an 800-room hotel on a site next to the center. “The hotel is a very needed partner to make the convention center successcontinued on page 224

EMINENT DOMAIN Style Statement An aerial plan of the Miami Beach Convention Center hotel and surrounding parks. below: The hotel would have 800 rooms and over 95,000 square feet of conference and ballroom space.

“There’s no corner of The building ThaT won’T geT improved in some way.” —maria hernandez

ful,” says Wendy Kallergis, president of the Greater Miami & The Beaches Hotel Association. “It’s key for the success of the type of conventions we attract.” Portman Holdings has agreed to fund the $405 million hotel project privately—without any incentives or concessions from the city—and pay the city a percentage of the hotel’s gross revenue under a proposed 99-year lease. That lease was approved on first reading by the Miami Beach City Commission on July 31 and is scheduled for a public vote on March 15, with approval by 60 percent of Miami Beach voters required for passage. Assuming all the approvals are received when anticipated, construction on the hotel should commence in January 2017 and be completed in March 2019. “The convention hotel is an amenity to facilitate the success of the half-billion-dollar investment that the city is making in the convention center,” says Jack Portman, vice chairman of Portman Holdings. “And they’re able to do it without spending a dime of public money, which is quite unusual.” Designed by Atlanta-based John Portman & Associates, the hotel, featuring a sweeping curved form, would be constructed behind the Fillmore Theater, on a site currently occupied by a parking lot. The plans call for 800 rooms and 95,000 square feet of conference and ballroom space, as well as multiple pools, a fitness center, a spa, and food and beverage outlets. A sky bridge would connect the hotel to the convention center. Portman has designed and developed convention hotels around the world, including the Hilton San Diego Bayfront and the Portman Ritz-Carlton in Shanghai. He says a decision has not yet been reached on which hotel operator would flag the new facility. “We weren’t competitive because we lacked a ballroom and an adjacent headquarters hotel,” says William D. Talbert III, president and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. “This project will cure both of those.” He adds that organizations that previously would not have considered Miami Beach for their gatherings have already expressed interest in booking here when the hotel opens. Says Talbert, “The meetings industry can’t wait to come here.” OD

Voting Details A public referendum on the Miami Beach Convention Center hotel is scheduled for March 15, when general and special elections will be held. Sixty percent of voters must approve the measure for it to pass. For voting information, call the Miami-Dade Elections Department at 305-499-8683 or visit miamibeachf.gov.

MAD FOR MOD MIAMI DESIGNERS TODD DAVIS AND ROBERT BROWN SHOW WHY BRIGHT COLORS AND AGE OF AQUARIUS ACCENTS ARE A SIZZLING-HOT TREND IN HOME DESIGN. BY CHARLYNE SCHAUB Short for “modernist,” Mod style can encapsulate anything from bright colors and streamlined furniture to Sputnik-inspired accessories and bold graphic art. “Design is cyclical,” says Robert Brown, who runs Brown Davis Interiors with Todd Davis. “The edited, clean-line look is a reaction to the recent past of extravagant design.” Brown and Davis’s best-known interior projects include the British Embassy in Washington, DC, and Bill and Hillary Clinton’s homes in Washington and Chappaqua, New York. Others include a racehorse farm in Kentucky and a penthouse in Miami Beach’s Villa del Mare. Recently, the duo introduced Brown Davis Exclusively for Keith Fritz, a custom furniture line made in America. Davis says the Mod aesthetic especially appeals to those looking for something new and unconventional. “We are simply reestablishing that look of the ’60s and ’70s as a legitimate style,” says Brown, who expects the trend to have staying power because it also can be used as an accent. Brown Davis interprets the look more like the late ’70s, using neutral tones and softer colors, then adding chandeliers and rugs from the period.

PARTING SHOT Unzipped

East Coast Rivalry NEW YORK HAS ALWAYS HAD IT ALL, BUT LATELY EVERYONE WANTS TO BE IN MIAMI. OCEAN DRIVE SIZES UP THE MAGIC CITY’S 305 AND THE BIG APPLE’S 212. BY JON WARECH

Locals stroll down Lincoln Road (ABOVE) in 80-degree weather and cruise around the beach on Citi Bikes, even in February.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Actual, real-life Gloria Estefan, like, all the time.

ENTERTAINMENT

Faena House’s 22,500-square-foot eight-bedroom penthouse sold for a record $60 million in 2015—with an ocean view.

LUXURY LIVING

212 The Big Apple

Locals scurry through Washington Square Park (ABOVE) in 20-degree weather and curse snowcovered (or never available) Citi Bikes.

On Your Feet, the red-hot musical inspired by the life and music of Gloria Estefan, on Broadway.

The 10,923-square-foot six-bedroom penthouse at One57 (RIGHT) sold for a record $100.5 million in 2015—with maybe a view of New Jersey.

Weekend staycations include algae-infused mud baths and 90-minute Essential Healing massages at the South Beach sanctuary The Standard.

RECREATION

Hammams and other Turkish baths, like Aire in Tribeca, are the soothing spot to beat the winter chill.

Party animals stay cool and sip Champagne at all hours of the night at LIV, Story, and the 24-hour club E11even.

BAR SCENE

Party animals seek shelter from the (snow) storm at subterranean bars like Acme Downstairs, PDT (Please Don’t Tell), and Genuine Liquorette.

Twenty crew-neck tees, Onia trunks, Del Toro sneakers, and Illesteva sunglasses. There’s always a North Face you bought 10 years ago packed away in a closet should you ever head north.

Il Mulino New York, Cipriani (RIGHT), Quality Meats, and Hakkasan are just steps from the water. Spy Floyd Mayweather sitting courtside, watching alley-oops from Wade to Whiteside.

Palm trees still in perfect shape.

Drink less, work out more, and see the world.

STYLE

APC winter coat, R13 jeans, Rag & Bone boots… and Oakley ski goggles.

DINING

Il Mulino New York, Cipriani, Quality Meats, and Hakkasan are just steps from bustling city streets.

SPORTS

There’s Spike Lee sitting courtside, watching Carmelo Anthony and trying to find a bright side.

HOLIDAY SPIRIT

Unwanted Christmas trees tossed to the curb.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION

Drink less, work out more, and see the world.
