Charles D’angelo

LOST 168 POUNDS

Losing Weight, W

hen Charles D’Angelo takes on clients, he doesn’t only resolve to help them lose weight – he resolves to help them change their entire life. The nationally renowned weight loss and transformation coach knows that those who come to him are often feeling hopeless and out of control in their lives. “Most of the issues my clients encounter have to deal with coming to terms with personal responsibility,” D’Angelo explains. “As adults, if we want to reclaim our personal power, we have to give up blame and embrace the reality that our choices have brought us to where we are, and with a consistent approach and support in changing those, you can change your life.” For client Jerry Counts, that meant realizing that the way he looked no longer aligned with the self-image he had. “I used to be very fit as a younger guy,” he says. “I didn’t like what I was seeing in the mirror. It wasn’t part of my self-image.” After a dream where he felt the confidence of his younger years again, Counts reached out to D’Angelo for coaching. “The focus in the program is getting to a place where you feel in control of yourself

“

and your choices,” D’Angelo says. “That’s accomplished through regular one-on-one meetings that lead a client to understanding themselves better, and with that insight and coaching, they tap into their courage to take action and make the changes most of us all know we need to make.” One of the major focuses in the coaching process is learning how to disconnect emotion from food. This was difficult for client Lisa Basler, who had lost 100 pounds through her own efforts before reaching out to D’Angelo, but was stuck and still needed to lose over 100 pounds more. For Basler, food was considered her family’s love language. “I worried about how I was going to participate in family celebrations,” she confesses. “[D’Angelo taught LOST 162 POUNDS me] it’s not about the food, it’s about the people and the relationships – and that part’s always going to be there.” Since becoming a client, Basler lost the other 112 pounds and is now half her size, celebrating a total 212 pound weight loss. Client Noble Thompson adds that working with D’Angelo made LOST 212 POU NDS him acknowledge that he had a longstanding, unhealthy relationship with food, something he would have never considered before. “That was important; doing the right thing comes easily once you’ve corrected that relationship.” Thompson reached out to D’Angelo at age 50 and lost 168 pounds through his program. “I am off all medications I was on previously,” he says. “My doctor has been nothing but impressed with the results.” “The value I have gotten out of it is more around how I treat myself,” says Counts. Having lost 162 pounds with D’Angelo, he considers the program to be so much more than just the weight loss. “I’ve used those same techniques I learned from Charles to focus on other aspects in my life like relationships and career. It’s really applicable to all aspects of your life.” “Lasting change only comes when you make a commitment to no longer accept less from yourself and for yourself, permanently,” D’Angelo says. “Having once weighed 360 pounds myself, I know how difficult it can be, so I’ve spent nearly two decades refining my approach to streamline the transformation process for those I work with.” “I say it’s the hardest but best thing I’ve done for myself,” Basler says. “It’s all worth it; you won’t be sorry.” Charles D’Angelo, 314-495-3228, charlesdangelo.com

KIDS MD Becoming

SCAM-SAVVY By Dr. Joseph Kahn

‌S

cams and phishing attempts are an unfortunate reality. Even savvy and sophisticated users are targeted, and children are especially at risk as soon as they can answer the telephone or go online. Children have a natural innocence that opens them – and their family – up to predators, scams and identity theft. That’s why it’s incredibly important to teach children about internet and phone safety. Start here: Educate yourself. Learn about possible threats to you and your family. Internet scams impact the security of your PC and your personal information. Be aware of how the internet affects your child’s safety, too. Investigate the social network sites your kids use. Learn and teach your kids how to recognize email scams. Teach your children. When told in simple language, even the youngest child can understand possible threats. For example, you can tell your children not to click “OK” or “Accept” on anything that pops up on the screen. Tell them never to offer personal information to strangers, including contacts in chat rooms and social media sites. As kids get older, turn your advice into strict rules for computer use, such as “Don’t open emails or direct messages from strangers” and “Don’t download anything unless approved by a parent.”

Invest in antivirus and antispyware software. Always keep your virus protection and antispyware software running and up to date. If your computer has personal information (and almost all computers do), consider using passwords to log onto it. Monitor you children’s computer usage. You can do this by keeping the computer in a common location in your house. Many children have received new tablets, computers, phones and other devices within the past few weeks for the holidays. Now is a great time to educate your children, as well as yourself, on internet and phone safety. And speaking of safety: Please socially distance, wear your mask, wash your hands and get vaccinated as soon as possible.

HEALTH NOTES

Cold, Flu or COVID-19? ‌A By Connie Mitchell

lthough it’s officially cold and flu season, the coronaviral pandemic has eclipsed the usual concerns about all the other bugs that typically affect people at this time of year. Luckily, our efforts to quash COVID-19 are also helping to lessen the spread of normal seasonal illnesses. “Flu cases are down this year, similar to what was seen in the Southern Hemisphere during their flu season this year,” says Dr. Matthew Breeden, a SLUCare family physician. “This is presumed to be due to social distancing and mask-wearing. Also, flu vaccination rates appear to be higher this year than in prior years, and that’s one of the most reliable ways to prevent the flu. We don’t track rates of colds as closely as flu, so it is difficult to say if those rates are down.” Despite this good news, Breeden notes that symptoms of COVID-19, colds and the flu mimic one another, making it hard to know whether you have a simple winter cold or something more concerning. “Fever, cough, fatigue, body aches, headache, sore throat, nasal congestion and runny nose can occur with all three conditions,” he says. “These symptoms will be milder in a cold, but typically more severe in COVID-19 and flu. A sudden loss in taste or smell appears to be a differentiating factor for COVID-19. We don’t see that symptom as often in cold and flu, but not all patients with COVID-19 will lose taste and smell.” COVID-19 patients also sometimes have nausea and diarrhea. These symptoms may also occur in flu, but tend not to occur in a common cold, Breeden says. “In more severe cases, patients with COVID-19 will develop chest tightness and/or difficulty breathing,” he continues. “These symptoms are not common in cold and flu. Any patient with these symptoms should seek prompt medical attention.” Considering the similarities among COVID-19, colds and the flu, it can be difficult to know whether or not to get a COVID-19 test. But with

14 January 8, 2021 | LadueNews.com

tests more available now than they were early in the pandemic, it can be beneficial to be tested if symptoms appear in order to determine whether it’s necessary to isolate. Breeden also urges everyone to get a flu shot to protect both themselves and others. “The only patients who should not get a flu vaccine are those who are younger than 6 months of age or those who have a history of a severe or life-threatening allergy to the flu vaccine or some ingredient in the flu vaccine,” he says. “This is very rare, so the vast majority of patients should really be getting the flu shot.” As COVID-19 vaccines become more widely available, Breeden recommends this shot as well. “Common side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine include pain and swelling at the injection site,” he says. “Some patients will experience fever, chills, fatigue and headache. These symptoms are common in other vaccines but may be more significant for the COVID-19 vaccine. But in the grand scheme of things, the symptoms are milder than a case of COVID-19.”

He adds: “One common myth about vaccines is that they can cause the disease they are intended to prevent. I would like to point out that neither the flu vaccine nor the COVID-19 vaccine can cause flu or COVID-19. It’s simply not possible.” Although most people will feel safer once vaccinated, Breeden notes that it’s not yet time to toss those masks. “We will not have enough vaccine to protect the entire population for several months to come,” he says. “The best way to protect yourself and those around you is to continue following [ federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines. The better job we do following these guidelines, the sooner we’ll be through this and the fewer people we’ll lose to this pandemic.” Visit health.mo.gov/living/healthcondiseases/ communicable/novel-coronavirus/mobile-testing. php for information on COVID-19 testing sites near you.

HEALTHY APPETITE

Smashed Turnip and Beet Salad Story and recipe by Amanda Elliott

‌A

homage to pai huang gua (smashed cucumbers), this dish works as a side, but it’s also substantial enough to fly solo. Since winter is not peak season for cucumbers, I substitute turnips and beets in the recipe. The salad gets its flavor from Sichuan chile crisp, a spicy infused oil widely available at local Asian markets. Also, if you can find Hakurei turnips (Japanese salad turnips), I highly recommend them for their delicate flavor and crisp texture, resembling that of a mild radish – they’re delicious raw.

Serves | 4 to 6 | 1 lb beets 1 lb turnips, cleaned, large dice 1 cup pomegranate seeds ¼ cup chopped cilantro 1 Tbsp sesame seeds 1 Tbsp sugar 1½ tsp kosher salt 2 Tbsp black vinegar 1 tsp chile crisp | Preparation | Fill a small pot with water; bring water to a boil. Add beets; cook until knife-tender for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove beets from water; peel and cut large dice. Place beets and turnips in a zip-close bag; gently smash with a rolling pin. Transfer smashed vegetables to a bowl along with remaining ingredients; toss to combine. Set bowl in refrigerator; chill until cold for approximately 15 minutes. Serve.

Amanda Elliott is the chef at Peachtree Catering (peachtreebanquet.com) in Columbia and authors the website Rustic Supper (rusticsupper.com), where she shares recipes centering on the idea of the communal table and embracing the heritage of food through travel. She also hosts a series of pop-up dinners in Columbia called Sunday Suppers.

Girls! By Brittany Nay | Photos by Lance Omar Thurman Photography

Cheryl Jones

Girls Inc. of St. Louis is receiving national recognition as it kicks off its 40th year.

irls Inc. of St. Louis has much to celebrate: The local chapter of the nationwide youth empowerment nonprofit is a 2020 Outstanding Affiliate of the Year in the large budget category – and also marks its 40th anniversary in 2021. With a belief that each child has a unique intellectual, emotional, spiritual and physical potential, Girls Inc. of St. Louis strives to provide educational, recreational and cultural programs to girls in a safe environment to enable them to raise their aspirations and realize their potential. “Our program of work focuses on shaping, empowering and inspiring each of the 8,000-plus girls we serve annually – many of whom are from under-resourced, underserved areas – to be strong, smart and bold with their life choices,” says Cheryl Jones, the local chapter’s president and CEO. “We’ve worked hard to become the ‘go-to’ organization for girls. In helping them achieve their potential, we continually raise the bar high for our girls and help them to expect the best from themselves.” This is the second time in five years that Girls Inc. of St. Louis has been recognized as an Outstanding Affiliate of the Year. “It is indeed humbling and most gratifying,” Jones says, noting that the honor goes to Girls Inc. organizations that meet an extensive list of criteria emphasizing the quality of the girls’ experience. “This national award is a testament to our outstanding staff and supporters, who have worked diligently to provide our girls with the kind of nurturing and mentorship to help them make good decisions, solve problems, meet their own needs and lead others. We have been relentless in our advocacy efforts locally, statewide and nationally to cultivate awareness of our mission and the needs of our girls and their families … We consider one another family – that’s what truly makes our affiliate so special.” In addition to the national honor it received, the affiliate was recognized for its response to the COVID-19 crisis: Girls Inc. of St. Louis rose to the challenge of reevaluating and expanding its programming to meet clients’ needs amid the pandemic. “I am so proud of our staff ’s resiliency, flexibility and agility,” Jones says. “Thanks to a number of strategic partnerships, we expanded our educational curriculum by introducing our first virtual learning platform … that included distribution of digital equipment and technical training to ensure a quality academic experience for our girls, who represent

72 schools in seven school districts. [We] provide laptops and technical training not only for our girls but also to their families, who have been paramount to the girls’ successfully completing their assignments.” Despite the pandemic, the nonprofit also maintained its scholarship program for Girls Inc. alumnae in college to ensure financial security through graduation. “The sky has always been the limit at Girls Inc., with any number of creative programs, such as learning to code a robot, build a computer, play the drums or our STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) program – and we will continue to incorporate these stimulating programs into our virtual learning platforms to keep it as normal as possible during these uncertain times,” Jones says. Throughout the past year, the organization also remained committed to broadening its diversity, equity and inclusion programming, as well as providing clients with support in increasing social and emotional support services – especially to the most marginalized in the community, Jones says. As Girls Inc. of St. Louis looks to the future, it plans to grow its footprint by working with additional community partners to address diversity, equity and inclusion issues, as well as continue to provide hands-on and relevant learning experiences in STEM education for girls, Jones says. “With the ongoing pandemic, we are most aware of the need to not only continue, but to also expand, our social and emotional services for Girls Inc. and its extended family,” she says. And when the chapter officially turns 40 this November, there will be a celebration fit for Girls Inc. of St. Louis’ ruby anniversary. Jones confirms: “We are already making big plans!” Girls Inc. of St. Louis, 3801 Nelson Drive, St. Louis, 314-385-8088, girlsincstl.org

Alisse CAmAzine

A Leader in

Family law By Maggie Peters | Photos by Christina Kling-Garrett

op 10 Super Lawyer Alisse Camazine has practiced family law for nearly 40 years. Camazine explains, “I like helping people throughout a very difficult time and seeing them come out healthier than when they came into my office.” In these uncertain times, Camazine has found that clients are more emotional than usual. Courts are moving slowly and the future is unknown; people don’t know what life is going to look like after Covid-19. “Handling clients’ emotions is often the greatest challenge when working in family law,” Camazine says. “It requires us, as attorneys to understand that clients may not always hear what we say, as they are hearing it through distraught ears and hearts. These clients may need to have the same questions explained several times and often require our attention at night and on the weekends.” Camazine believes that family law attorneys need to be agents of reality, explaining that lawyers can make things harder on themselves and their clients when promising to get whatever the client wants, when they know it’s not something that’s feasible or reasonable. “I think that hurts the process and makes it more unpleasant and more expensive than it needs to be. Your attorney needs to be your advocate but should also help you understand what a reasonable, likely outcome is.” Camazine believes that most cases should be and are settled prior to trial, but does not hesitate to go to trial in cases that cannot be resolved. Camazine has proven herself a Super Lawyer and is listed in the Super Lawyers Top 10 Attorneys in Missouri and Kansas. She is the only Family Law attorney on this Top 10 list. “This is the only area of law that I know that requires an attorney to be knowledgeable about so many areas of the law. We need to know corporate law, tax law, estate planning and family law. I am honored to have been selected by my peers for this recognition.” Alisse C. Camazine, 165 N. Meramec Ave., Suite 110, St. Louis, 314-727-2266, acamazine@pcblawfirm.com The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertising.

DESIGN ELEMENTS

Fit for a Prince By Andrea Smith | Photos by Megan Lorenz, courtesy of Emily Hall Interiors

‌D

uring a time when many were transitioning domestic spaces into home offices for remote work life, Emily Hall was reimaging a local couple’s home office in preparation for a different lifestyle change. The namesake of St. Louis-based design firm Emily Hall Interiors says a University City couple was expecting their first child and wanted to transform their office into a peaceful nursery “fit for a prince.” The mother-to-be envisioned a room inspired by French interior design styles, which Hall says she fancies, as well. “I love that look, so immediately fed off of her desire,” she says. The modest room offered paneled walls, a drop ceiling and a small closet, so Hall planned her design in a way that would maximize the limited space. The closet needed special attention, so she enlisted the help of Saint Louis Closet Co. designer Maria Skornia. “I opted to use curtains instead of doors on the closet to make it feel more open and suggested using the dresser as the changing table, instead of having an additional piece of furniture,” Hall says. To create a luxurious aesthetic, yet maintain a cozy and inviting vibe, Hall layered a white sheepskin rug on top of a low-pile wool rug. She also added Lucite-and-brass pulls chosen from Rock Hill’s Locks & Pulls Design Elements. “We added pleated fabric to the sides of the crib to add more interest and texture,” Hall describes. “I love the extra layer that the bamboo blinds add.” Hall expresses that the greatest challenge her team faced was dealing with unexpected delays during the first months of the pandemic. It became a race to finish the space before the baby arrived. “We first met in January and ended in May, just in time for the baby!” Hall says. “Everything took so much longer because of COVID.”

32 January 8, 2021 | LadueNews.com

Patience is a virtue when designing, Hall adds. Whenever possible, it’s best to take as much time as needed to find the preferred fabrics, furniture and accessories that complete a personalized space. She advises people to “think about things that make you happy – colors, design style, textures. Figure out all of the different elements that you want in the space.” After perusing Pinterest and magazines, commit to the process of constructing your dream design. “This was definitely a memorable project,” Hall reflects. “Creating a space as special as a nursery for a first-time mother, during a pandemic, definitely had its challenges. I’m thrilled with the way it turned out. It was worth waiting for!”

A Design Legacy By Andrea Smith Photos by BLK Photography and Photographie by Li, courtesy of Karr Bick

Karr Bick Kitchen & Bath recently added a new interior design department led by a designer with a personal connection to the industry in the metro area.

fter Jenny Rausch graduated from college, she took a job under the late Sonja Willman at Summerhouse stores in Ladue and Manchester that would jump-start her career in interior design. “It was very fascinating; she was a trailblazer,” says Rausch, now the owner of Brentwood-based Karr Bick Kitchen & Bath. “My mom was a designer, so I always had that in the back of my mind, but I never worked and witnessed the creative process up close like I did with Sonja.” Years later, Rausch says she’s experiencing a full-circle moment by bringing in her mentor’s daughter, Ashley Willman Obradovits, to lead Karr Bick’s new interior design department, which officially opened Nov. 1, 2020. “Sonja was my first step into the [interior] design industry, and now I’m Ashley’s first step into the interior design industry as a full-time career path,” Rausch reflects. Like Rausch, Obradovits gained insight into interior design practices by observing her mother at work throughout her childhood. In college, Obradovits studied architectural design and then worked about 10 years in the metro area luxury retail market, holding managerial positions at Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue. “I knew that at some point I was going to go into design,” Obradovits discusses in a Karr Bick video. “I didn’t know when

My mother’s design mantra was to think of the logical thing, then do the opposite ... I have always followed her lead in creating spaces that are as welcoming as they are unique.

”

– Ashley WillmAn ObrAdOvits

J AN UARY 8, 2021 | L a d ueN e w s. c o m

or how; I always thought it would be with my mom, but … She passed away [in 2020], and I never got to do that with her, you know, side by side working for her. “I feel like I did design with her, and I’m going to carry that on for her.” Obradovits recently approached Rausch about doing interior design full time, and Rausch put her to the test to ensure compatibility with the Karr Bick team. “So many people have wanted [Karr Bick Kitchen & Bath] to do more interior design,” Rausch elaborates, “and I’ve been looking for a while for someone who I thought would be a good fit.” The interior design department seeks to “bring the Karr Bick standard of quality and detail to the entire home,” according to a press release. Its new residential services include furniture design and production, art and accessory selections, space planning and more. “We’ve always done the design for the kitchen, bath, ‘wherever’ spaces … It was mostly hard surfaces: cabinets, countertops, appliances, tiles, light fixtures, handles, knobs,” Rausch says. Clients who initially hired Karr Bick to renovate their kitchens or bathrooms have often inquired about enlisting the team’s services throughout the rest of their home. “Regardless of if it was related to paint colors, what towels to buy or what they should hang on their wall, the questions kept coming,” the press release details. The official interior design piece was long overdue. “We specialize in the home – your whole entire home,” Rausch states. “We don’t just end at the kitchen doorway.” Out of a shared love for antiquing came an additional endeavor: Karr Bick Curated, a new shop located within Karr Bick’s showroom and on Instagram via @karrbick_curated. “Ashley and I started scouring junk stores and peoples’ basements … digging through boxes to find treasures,” Rausch explains. “We brought them into the showroom and priced them or used them to accessorize. It’s just easier access to really cool, vintage items.” Obradovits might have inherited from her mother a talent for finding the “diamond in the rough” at antique malls and an enthusiasm for breaking traditional interior design rules, but she’s ready to put her own spin on things. “I like to take an outside-the-box approach with my clients … ,” Obradovits says in a press release. “My mother’s design mantra was to think of the logical thing, then do the opposite … I have always followed her lead in creating spaces that are as welcoming as they are unique.” Obradovits has been tasked with expanding the new department by bringing on five more designers over the next three years. Rausch describes Obradovits as “organized and thoughtful” – someone who has the ability to manage technical details within a creative project. “She’s supermotivated and so naturally talented,” Rausch adds. While speaking on camera about Obradovits joining the team, Rausch takes a deep breath to steady her voice. “I just hope her mom can see what we’re doing together,” she says. Obradovits remembers her mother as a cheerleader who encouraged her – but never pressured her – to become a designer and affirms, “I think she would be happy that I am pursuing it now.” Karr Bick Kitchen & Bath, 2715 Mercantile Drive, Brentwood, 314-645-6545, karrbick.com

LittLe Lemon CandLes Crafts sCrumptious CandLes – with a LittLe bit of snark.

ayla Schneider, a self-proclaimed “sarcastic, usually awkward mom with dad jokes,” infuses her Little Lemon Candles with snarky-themed scents for every one of life’s precious – and not-soprecious – moments, from the caramel popcorn “Hot Mess, Polar Express” to the eucalyptus-and-lavender “Girl, You Need to Go Relax” to the coffee-and-cream “I Like Coffee … And Maybe Three People.” “When life hands you lemons, burn a candle,” Schneider says. “I try really hard to make each candle unique and something to burn in all situations!” Schneider’s love affair with candles began when she was just a kid. She can still recall the smell of special memories, from power outage family campouts in her candlelit childhood home to the amber candle glow that made her first apartment feel more her own. As an adult, Schneider continued to set the mood with scented candlelight. But when she became pregnant with her son, Schneider says she started getting headaches from the usual store-bought candles she burned. “After some research, I found out all the nasty chemicals in those candles and decided to make candles to burn in my house with ingredients approved by me and safe for my family,” she says. With that in mind, Schneider launched Little Lemon Candles – handpoured vegan, nontoxic soy versions of the candles she grew up enjoying. Each Little Lemon $20, 12-ounce candle is “handmade and poured with love” by Schneider in small batches at her St. Louis home. “I use 100 percent soy wax [and] fragrance oils infused with essential oils,” she says, also noting each candle is free of phthalates (toxic chemicals) and provides 50-plus hours of “burning bliss.” Schneider likewise injects her sarcastic sense of humor into each candle’s sassy saying, such as the mulled-wine-scented “Sweater Weather (That You Regret by Noon),” the sweet orange-and-chile pepper “Sorry for What I Said When I Was Hungry,” the glazed doughnut “Donut Worry, Be Happy” and the peppermint-and-clove “Smells Like Snow in Stars Hollow” – a clever nod to a show with heavy helpings of her taste in snarkiness: Gilmore Girls. “I make jokes about everything,” she says. “I see something and go, ‘Hey, I can make this funny.’” As Schneider built her business, she wanted her candles to be not only safe but also sustainable. Inspired by fellow small-business owner Jordan Blackhurst of Dharma + Dwell, a local sustainable lifestyle brand, Schneider started a recycling program for her candle jars. “I offer 10 percent off your next purchase when you return your jars,” she says. “[Customers] can arrange a meetup or drop them off at Dharma + Dwell.” As for what’s next, the candle-maker smells a storefront in her small business’ future. “I’d love to have a tiny storefront, so customers can come in and smell the candles before purchasing,” she says. “I also would love to be able to hire a few employees.” For now, customers can sniff out Little Lemon Candles at Cozy Shop on St. Charles’ Main Street. Fans also should keep an eye on littlelemoncandles.com for details on how Schneider will be spreading her love of candles in a new way – with a “mystery candle subscription.” “You won’t know what the secret smell is until you receive [and] burn your candle!” she says. “I will also include a little envelope with the scent name and details. These will be $24 each month for a 12-ounce candle and a bottle of rainbow wooden matches.” And for the new year, Schneider says she has some sassy new scents to keep you in the mood, whether you’re happy or sad, celebrating or mourning, or simply in need of some calm, including a follow-up to last year’s gardeniascented “Um … Can I Please Unsubscribe From 2020?” that will be “a bubbly candle popping with ‘Champagne’ in celebration of 2020 being over!” Cheers to that!

DINNER TO GO

Fire Chicken By Mabel Suen

orean carryout connoisseurs likely rejoiced in August with the Overland opening of Fire Chicken, whose menu features chicken gangjung (deep-fried, bite-size boneless chicken coated in sweet and spicy sauce), shrimp gangjung, rice bowls, ramen and appetizers. The casual eatery, in the space previously occupied by Bek Hee Chinese Restaurant, comes from the husband-and-wife duo of Sungmin and Michelle Baik, the former of whom previously owned St. Peters’ Blue Sea Sushi Bar. With Fire Chicken, the Seoul natives hope to share with area diners their take on gangjung and other traditional Korean dishes. “We’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time,” Michelle Baik says. “My husband’s parents used to run a gangjung chicken place in Korea. We wanted to share this dish with all

different kinds of people.” The chicken and shrimp gangjung comes in four different preparations, each topped with scallions and sesame seeds: sweet bulgogi sauce; sweet teriyaki sauce; “fire,” with jalapeño, garlic and sweet soy sauce; and “red,” with spicy and sweet red chile gochujang. All platters come as combos with rice and a soda. Also available are a large combo and a family combo. Bowls, served with steamed rice and a boiled egg, include such options as a spicy bulgogi bowl with marinated beef, gochujang, onion, carrot, scallion, green bean and cabbage. Ramen comes with chicken, bulgogi beef, shrimp or veggies; also, its vegetable-based broth can be spiced up by adding chile pepper. Appetizers include shrimp tempura, mandu (deep-fried pork dumplings), veggie mandu and popcorn mandu topped with cheese and spicy mayo.

“Hopefully, everybody can be happy with our dishes,” Michelle Baik says. “We hope you can come enjoy it.” Fire Chicken accepts only credit cards – no cash or checks – with delivery available through services like Grubhub and Uber Eats. The Baiks’ restaurant also offers a half-off discount to firefighters and officers in uniform.

ARTS SPEAK

DYNAMIC “DUO” By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Images courtesy of Atrium Gallery

‌A

trium Gallery commenced 2021 with a tandem exhibition titled “Duo” from Karen Kunc and her late spouse, Kenny Walton. “Duo,” which opened on Dec. 4, is running till Jan. 30 in Carolyn Miles’ luxe gallery at St. Louis’ westernmost boundary, fronting on Forest Park. It features woodblock prints by Kunc and handblown glass by Walton. “I was looking for something with a little more intimacy, a little more intrigue than the ‘calm’ work we have been focused on during the past few months,” says Miles, by way of explaining the general inspiration for the exhibition. “Kunc and Walton both bring not only high – often intense – color but also a complexity to the structure of the composition which is engaging.” Through her woodblock prints, Kunc relates, she seeks to “obliquely address environmental and politically charged awareness, while always creating poetically poignant visual images and beautiful, edgy visual sensations. “My senses are attuned to my rural surroundings [in a southeastern Nebraska village], expressed in work that visually evokes the natural world and addresses the metaphoric interdependent relationship of humankind with and against nature. The urban experience is juxtaposed as harsh shapes, compressed spaces, jarring imbalances, for a cacophonous impression of visual tension.” Among potential sub rosa sociopolitical topics

of her prints, Kunc mentions land use, water rights, genetic plant manipulation and body modification. “I draw from my rural sources: cracks in the ground, growth patterns in plants, makeshift/ manmade structures, patterns of decay and weathering … ,” she continues. “In the urban setting, I see compelling images in weeds in cement cracks, stunted nature, confined spaces, structures of human dwellings as microcosms, a sense of compression and pressure as a rhythmic design, an overwhelming human presence with a sense of the collective versus the individual, interwoven social stories and mental coping strategies, accumulation of excess and waste.” Citing illuminated manuscripts as inspirations, Kunc relishes the energized contrasts in her work between linear etching and colorful, layered woodcut techniques. Kunc ranks as a 30-year Atrium veteran, and Miles had been planning to again showcase her work when the heartbreaking news came that Walton had passed away due to COVID-19 complications. At that point, Miles resolved, with “Duo,” not only to showcase Kunc but also to honor Walton. “It just feels so good to have them together, their very beautiful works complementing each other at this time,” she says. “There’s a certain richness to the exhibition which seems very appropriate for this holiday time, most especially for our ‘COVID year.’”

o you recall taking part in playground clapping games? One of my favorites, “Down, Down Baby,” called for everyone to stand in a circle and clap each other’s hands in rhythm. Keeping giggly, excited children on track took coordination and timing, but everyone enjoyed doing the “roller coaster” motions with their hands and the “hot dog” swivel with their hips. Now you can relive such fun with your own children with Spunky Little Monkey, a bright, engaging book from writers Bill Martin Jr. (of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?) and Michael Sampson and illustrator Brian Won. Spunky Little Monkey begins the rhythmic fun in its opening pages with this chant: “Sleepy Little Monkey won’t get out of bed. Momma called the doctor and the doctor said: ‘Apple Juice, Orange Juice, Gooseberry Pies – Monkey needs some exercise!’” The following pages show Monkey popping out of bed as the alarm rings, jauntily dancing around his room as he nods his head (“Ding-Dong!”), claps his hands (“Clap! Clap!”), stomps his feet (“Stomp! Stomp!”) and wiggles his hips (“Shake! Shake!”), while preparing for school. Won illustrates this celebration in bold colors defining simple but effective shapes to create cohesive pictures, sure to charm children and adults alike. Reading aloud becomes even more interesting as a few illustrations appear in two-page vertical spreads, magnifying Monkey’s excitement and joy in moving and grooving. Spunky Little Monkey should make a great read to start your sleep-groggy child’s day or to channel his or her boundless energy during seemingly endless winter days spent indoors.

StandS Strong Amid fear-inducing projections about museums’ ongoing well-being nationwide because of the coronaviral pandemic, the metro area’s revered landmark atop Forest Park’s Art Hill remains on firm footing.

The pandemic has been an existential challenge to many arts organizations here and around the world, but the museum’s financial health is on solid ground, and we are able to continue to bring firsthand experiences with art to St. Louisans. – Brent r. Benjamin

t should come as a considerable relief to area aficionados of visual art to learn that the Saint Louis Art Museum, in a word, abides. “The pandemic has been an existential challenge to many arts organizations here and around the world, but the museum’s financial health is on solid ground, and we are able to continue to bring firsthand experiences with art to St. Louisans,” states Brent R. Benjamin, the museum’s Barbara B. Taylor Director. Benjamin’s assuring statement comes after a November report by the American Alliance of Museums, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit founded in 1906, cautioning that fully a third of domestic museums may close permanently because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. That online report, titled National Snapshot of COVID-19 Impact on United States Museums (October 2020), surveyed 850 museum directors and, in brief, related that their institutions, on average, had lost $850,000 in revenues to that point – again on average, a frightening 35 percent of 2020 budgeted operating income, with a further 28 percent loss feared for 2021. Changes faced at SLAM don’t end with pandemic-related pivots. In September, a press release from the museum announced Benjamin will retire midway through 2021, after having helmed the institution since the halcyon days of 1999.

The museum’s board of commissioners is now seeking Benjamin’s successor, and that press release assured art devotees he “will continue as director through the selection process to ensure a smooth transition.” While the landmark grandly topping Art Hill in St. Louis’ Forest Park has weathered the coronaviral pandemic financially, Benjamin says the pandemic has, of course, impacted many operational aspects there. “The museum has adopted a number of new safety protocols since we reopened to visitors in June, and COVID has made us adjust our schedule for exhibitions and other installations,” he notes. “The current main exhibition, ‘Storm of Progress: German Art After 1800,’ is a good example of this. The pandemic disrupted international art shipping, and we responded by mounting an exhibition that is drawn entirely from the collection. ‘Storm of Progress’ may have been borne out of necessity, but it’s an exceptional presentation of an area of the collection of extraordinary depth and breadth.” “Storm of Progress,” which opened Nov. 8, runs till Feb. 28. Overseeing it are Simon Kelly, the museum’s curator of modern and contemporary art; Hannah Klemm, associate curator of modern and contemporary art; Melissa Venator, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fellow for Modern Art; and Molly Moog, research assistant for modern and contemporary art. Benjamin also judiciously addresses what has become a classic “pivot” in the COVID-19 era by organizations and institutions of all varieties: digital access. “Virtual experiences like video tours or streaming lectures can provide comfort to those who cannot visit in person, but they also are valuable for the rest of us,” he states, before adding: “These programs are tools – just like audio tours or printed catalogues – that are meant to enrich an in-person experience with art, not replace it.” Finally, Benjamin reflects on local maximum-occupancy regulations. “We worked closely with the City of St. Louis on our reopening plans, and I do not feel that public-health officials here have taken a one-size-fits-all approach,” he states. “The guidelines and recommendations we were asked to follow have been thoughtful and reasonable for our venue.” Saint Louis Art Museum, One Fine Arts Drive, St. Louis, 314-721-0072, slam.org

The Market Around the

Corner by drew gieseke | Photos courtesy of The Annex Coffee and Foods

With local provisions, thoughtful menus and timeless charm, the annex coffee and foods brings a throWback concept to Webster groves

ohn Barr and Kelley Hall-Barr are drawn to small-town life. Best-known for running the show at Civil Alchemy and The Frisco Barroom – a hip boutique and stylish restaurant, respectively – the entrepreneurs opened The Annex Coffee and Foods in fall 2020 to marry pieces of the two concepts. The result is an all-day corner market in Webster Groves’ Old Orchard neighborhood that evokes a time and a place when life moved a little slower. It’s a project the two have dreamed about for years. “Before we opened The Frisco, we had imagined doing a market on the level of Village Wine & Cheese,” says Barr, citing inspiration from his college days at the University of MissouriColumbia. “I think The Frisco was also so busy that we couldn’t put the extra load onto our team.” The Frisco Barroom’s success stalled progress on the corner market. The couple dragged their feet for a year and a half, playing with the idea of opening a folk music coffeehouse in the same stretch of Big Bend Boulevard where Civil Alchemy and The Frisco Barroom – neighbors only a few doors apart – welcome guests for shopping and dining.

As with every story in 2020, things changed in the COVID-19 pandemic. “When the pandemic hit, it was an opportunity,” says Barr. “We were losing so much of our kitchen, it allowed us to go, ‘Well, now we have the labor, now we have the time – we can spend the next nine months focusing on that while The Frisco goes into hibernation.’” Barr mentions that Civil Alchemy forged ahead, seeing great success with the growth of its subscription alcohol service. But thanks to lockdown, the couple was able to dedicate unspent energy on The Annex, which merges gourmet food, retail offerings and a coffee shop. In so doing, Barr says he and his wife probably saved 10 jobs. Sandwiched between The Frisco Barroom and Civil Alchemy, The Annex takes an oldtimey approach to the classic local market. Red brick walls and well-stocked shelves give the establishment an undeniable sense of timelessness. Customers can stop in morning, noon and night for a bite, a cup or a bit of foodstuff for an upcoming meal at home. “We consider it part coffee, part bakery, part deli, part grab-and-go and part grocery,” says Barr. The dining menu includes simple-yet-

scrumptious breakfast items like an a.m. burrito and slices of fresh quiche, as well as a collection of sandwiches featuring artisanal ingredients that elevate any selection. Think a BLT with crispy glazed pork belly, tomato fennel jam, arugula and blue cheese aioli on toasted white bread, or a Cuban made with savory sliced mojo pork loin, ham hock terrine, stone-ground mustard, shaved pickles and peppers, and Swiss on a baguette. Meanwhile, the coffee and cocktail menu was designed by Swiss Army person Matt Foster, who serves as a manager, mixologist and barista. Barr says Foster takes his drinks seriously, but also understands that crowd-pleasers keep people in the shop. In other words, The Annex is serious about coffee, but also understands that sometimes you pay the bills with pumpkin lattes. The menu proves this wide-ranging approach. The Annex crafts seasonal lattes as well as more

traditional drip and espresso sips – and plans to rotate its coffee selection every few months to showcase different local roasters. Right now, St. Louis’ Coma Coffee Roasters is behind the beans. Fittingly, the shop also features unique cocktails, mocktails, tea and more. What makes this concept really click is the uniqueness of its products paired with the classicism of its space in a historic building in a historic neighborhood. Basically, The Annex feels right at home amid the other charms of Old Orchard. “Webster has definitely held on to its small-town charm,” Barr says. “It’s definitely what we love about being here, is that it feels like a small town just on the edge of the city.” The Annex Coffee and Foods, 8122 Big Bend Blvd., Webster Groves, 314-731-6329, theannexstl.com
