HE DID SURVIVE: A BENEFIT CONCERT FOR GARY SCHWEIKHART
WHAT: Delray’s Arts Garage partnered with The Buzz Agency and Pollack Communications to deliver a benefit concert for local PR legend Gary Schweikhart, who sustained life-threatening injuries after a vehicle smashed into his home office on July 11. The sold-out event drew in a crowd of nearly 200 guests, including friends and colleagues who joined in supporting South Florida’s “Godfather” of PR. Featured at the concert were performers Rich & Jill Switzer, Deborah Silver, Anthony Nunziata and Avery Sommers, with accompaniment from Phil Hinton and a special prerecorded message from Rob Russell. Schweikhart himself even took the stage to give thanks to all in attendance, whose proceeds went toward aiding in Gary’s recovery. WHERE: Arts Garage

Chef Driven Food & World Class Wine
Chef Blake Malatesta, holder of the South Florida Food and Wine Top Chef Award, has been bringing the beauty of local ingredients to South Florida for the last 10 years.
“Last year The Wine Room Kitchen & Bar welcomed Chef Blake Malatesta with open arms. Local Food with Global Flair was always Chef Malatesta’s approach to his culinary journey and now it is flourishing under the Barrel Ceiling of this Delray Beach Gem” says Owner Bruce Simberg. What can be better than Food and Wine together? Malatesta says: “It’s a no brainer! Dozens of champagnes to choose from-of course we have caviar on the new menu, Delicious Burgundies yearn for a Coq Au Vin (a French Classic of roasted Chicken), Big Cabs demand our signature 50 oz
Tomahawk (butchered exclusively for The Wine Room Kitchen & Bar). A crisp white Chablis is my pick for our new Escargot dish.” A plethora of small plates with a diversity of flavors will appeal to any taste. Charred Octopus, Hand Cut Steak Tartare or Brussels Sprouts are only a few delicious choices. As you explore the new menu, you will be pleasantly surprised by Fresh, Sustainable Local fish that changes daily, Free range Poultry, Heritage Pork and Game along with Grass Fed, Grass Finished Beef and unique vegetables, all sourced from our Sunshine State.
Lunch and Brunch dishes follow the same fresh approach to the ingredients: from Brunch Staples like Steak and Eggs and WRKB Benedict to Lunch favorites such as
Crispy Chicken Sandwich
& 10 oz Triple-Cut WRKB Burger. “What can be more enjoyable than a chilled glass of Rose with Shrimp n’ Grits under the Florida Sun on a Sunday!”, Malatesta says.
When asked what the Chef’s plans are for the future of The Wine Room Kitchen & Bar, he humbly responded: “We are already living it. I spent my first six months here building a cohesive restaurant family. One person does not make a restaurant successful, it’s a collective effort that requires dedication and commitment from the whole team. Now that we’ve built a great one, we can focus on enhancing our guests’ experience through Our Chef’s Wine Pairing Dinners. It is a completely unique culinary journey for our Patrons, during which they can expand their knowledge of Wine and Local Ingredients.
Look out for unique Chef Collaborations, Roof Top Gardens and Secret Speak Easy Menus…Shh, don’t tell anybody. Malatesta says; “We are not here to cook pretentious food; We are here to present delicious and unique dishes that highlight the World of Wine. The goal is to make it evident that there is Love, Dedication and Care in every tasty bite.” There is always something new for you to discover every day at
