Ever dependable in the clutch, LN’s Ryan Scott gifts road-ready readers with photographs and an in-depth assessment of the 2017 Acura NSX, whose tech and smart programming, he relates, make it truly worthy of the appellation “supercar.”
Who wouldn’t love an eatery called Pig & Pickle? This week, writer/photographer Mabel Suen visits St. Louis’ Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood to chat with chef Ryan Lewis about his Southerninspired restaurant, which opened in September.
On the cover 12 The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis is gearing up for its centennial year, which will be filled with celebratory programming and a campaign to set the organization up for its next 100 years. The story appears on page 12. Pictured on the cover are (from left to right) Keith Williamson, Michael McMillan, Will Donlow Jr., Will Donlow III and Frankie Eichenberger. Photo by Sarah Conroy.

from the
EDITOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS A SPECIAL TIME OF YEAR. THE AIR IS brisk, everything seems to twinkle and there are gatherings galore. Even during this joyous season, though, I often find myself stressed and pressured to find the perfect gifts for all the special people in my life. If you share my sentiment this season, fear not. Starting on p. 37, check out our annual Gift Guide, which has the perfect present for every person in your life – whether a discerning teenager, technology guru, sous chef in the making or simply a furry friend. We hope you find this guide helpful in your holiday hunt – or you’ll even find something to add to your personal wish list. Also in this week’s edition, make sure to check out LN contributing writer Brittany Nay’s feature on Big Heart Tea Co., starting on p. 81. Although I’m partial to coffee, Big Heart has me seriously considering a switch. The company hand-blends herbal and medicinal teas with a goal of making people healthier and happier. We hope you enjoy this story and the creative-tea founder Lisa Govro puts into her drinks. All the best,
Alecia Humphreys
Editor’s Corner Electrical Connection and Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis are celebrating 10 years of partnership – one that has ensured “more than 180 Habitat homes have been wired safely by donating electrical services and materials for code-compliant installations.” In total, this work amounts to more than 2,160 fixtures, 3,240 light switches, 7,200 receptacles and 360,000 feet of Romex wiring.
Woodland Elementary School students received a special delivery recently. Local Amazon associates surprised students with more than $10,000 worth of supposed related to STEM (science, technology, engineering, math)-related “to help facilitate learning in the classroom.” According to a release, this donation is part of Amazon’s “ongoing commitment to give back to the communities where its associates work and live.”

n 2018, Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis will celebrate its 100th birthday. In celebration of serving the St. Louis community for a century, the group is launching its 2018 Urban League Centennial Campaign at the beginning of the new year. Michael McMillan, CEO and president of Urban League St. Louis, says members of the organization are looking forward to the celebratory programming that will take place under the Centennial Campaign. “We have a very committed and energetic team that is working on providing the agency with the resources and the volunteers to have a historic year filled with commemorations, exciting events and a bold plan for the future,” he says. The goals for the campaign include adding to the Urban League’s endowment, stabilizing the existing 30 programs it provides to nearly 100,000 people and growing programs and partnerships with other nonprofits, government organizations and the business community. “The goal is to provide the financial stability, awareness and education for the St. Louis region and to some of our national partners of what we have done,” he says. “We look at how we can take those programs, services and innovative concepts that have gotten us to this historic moment and take them all to a bigger and better level.” Personally, McMillan says the 100-year milestone is momentous because he’s been a part of the organization for so long. “I’ve had the pleasure of being around the [Urban League] movement since I was 10 and have been a member since I was 16,” McMillan says.

LANDSCAPE
Osage Oranges as Décor
M
y Thanksgiving dinner table setting always includes a colorful centerpiece incorporating not only multihued gourds but also vivid green Osage oranges. Osage oranges make a beautiful stacked pyramid complemented by a few equally green cymbidium orchid blossoms tucked into the nooks. Any way you display them, they add grace and sophistication to home décor. I used to collect mine from the historic row at the Missouri Botanical Garden, but in recent years, I’ve scavenged them wherever I can. If you don’t have your own tree, fruits are often available at local farmers markets or from online vendors. Also, a tree in Compton Heights drops its aromatic orbs into the gutter, and another occupies a utility right-of-way in nearby Wildwood, where I gather them without guilt. Worth the hunt, these amazing fruits provide visual delight, a soft citrus fragrance and a delightfully chartreuse, warty skin. About the size of a grapefruit, these nubby, slightly sticky green fruit comes from a tree named Maclura, in the mulberry family. Called bois d’arc by the French and bodark or bow-wood by English speakers, its wood once was valued by Native Americans for making bows and other weapons. Originally found farther south, along the rivers of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, plants were brought north by tribes who appreciated their qualities. The first plants sent to Thomas Jefferson by Lewis and Clark, they were found by the famed explorers growing in Pierre Chouteau’s garden near the St. Louis waterfront. Chouteau admired them in a village of Osages, collected them and brought them home for his own garden. In that era, the tree’s extremely hard wood well suited it for fence posts and railroad ties. That same rich golden, durable wood also made beautiful bowls, plates and candlesticks. Later settlers discovered they could prune the thorny trees into living hedges strong enough to contain hogs and bulls – hence the other common name of hedge-apple. Macluras gain character as they become gnarly with age. Several venerable trees still thrive along the old driveway into the Missouri Botanical Garden. Dating from the time of Henry Shaw, these ancient trees can still be enjoyed in the Doris I. Schnuck Children’s Garden, west of the Climatron. Several more trees of this vintage grow in nearby Tower Grove Park. Best enjoyed on large properties and estates where the dropping fruits pose no safety hazard, it ill serves as a courtyard tree for small gardens. To guarantee my future supply of Osage oranges, I bought one for my West County garden years ago. Silly me – I planted it too close to the trail, and once established, low-hanging branches would swipe at me with sharp thorns. Remembering the pruning habits of the early sodbusters, I didn’t hesitate to take loppers to the most egregious branch and then tied the others high on a training post to keep them out of the way.
By Pat Raven, Ph.D., with Julie Hess
After Thanksgiving, we’ve always pitched the blackening fruits into the woods from the back deck. In more than a decade of tossing, I’ve had only one small tree emerge, but it is growing well and may help augment my future supply of tabletop decorations.
What I won’t know for a few more years is if my trees are male or female. Like ginkgoes, the trees each have individual sexes, and only the females bear fruit. So, Osage oranges – use these unusual and beautiful fruits on the dinner table to make a great conversation starter and biology lesson all in one!

Safe as
Houses
By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos by Sarah Conroy
The Sheldon celebraTeS boTh The eye and The mind’S eye of a longTime local archiTecTural arTiST.
A
paradoxical serenity of linearity pervades “Carl Safe: The Architecture of Buildings, Furniture and Photographs,” on display at The Sheldon Concert Hall & Art Galleries through Feb. 17. That free exhibition, which opened Oct. 6 in The Sheldon’s Bernoudy Gallery of Architecture, presents a career-to-date retrospective of the work of Safe, who serves both as professor emeritus with the Sam Fox School of Design & Art at Washington University in St. Louis (where he has taught since 1970) and as principal at University City’s Carl Safe Design Consultants. The paradox implicit in the exhibition derives from the degree to which its simplicity of presentation as a product, for want of a better phrase, belies the complexity of the process underlying that product from baseline heuristics onward.
“This exhibit grew out of a conversation in which I was asked if my architectural design work, my furniture design and my photography had any relationship to one another, whether or not they informed each other, and if so, how,” Safe relates in a short meditation both online and on-site. “It was a good question for which I had no clear response. Curating this exhibit was a way of discovering an answer for myself.”
A chest titled Socks bracketed by other works on or at the gallery’s wall
That mission notwithstanding, the professor’s modesty might incline him to reticence – but for his telling personal history. “I don’t really know,” Safe admits when asked what sparked his interest in architecture enough to make it a lifetime career, adding that he came of age in rural Wisconsin under “formally uneducated” parents. “As a child, I never met an architect, but from a very young age, I started drawing buildings, and I guess I just never stopped. I can’t remember a time that I didn’t want to do that, even before I knew what an architect and architecture were. “At some point, I did hear about Frank Lloyd Wright, whose studio, Taliesen, was in southern Wisconsin. [He was] ‘the architect that everyone knew.’ At some point, I became aware that designing buildings was something people did for a living, and I started figuring out how I could go about doing it. Even today, I can’t imagine doing anything else.” Visitors to The Sheldon’s tripartite retrospective should give thanks for that, starting with the exhibition’s architectural component. Examples of Safe’s expertise in that area range from a 1994 birdhouse (no, really) of red and white oak, conceived and crafted for a charity auction, to a 1980 backyard fence of 1½-inch-diameter steel pipe in seven doubly curved segments. Intriguingly, a conceptual drawing accompanying the fence display reads, in red, “REJECTED IDEA,” before continuing in a scarlet scrawl, “Sometimes you just make really bad proposals – with luck you have the self-discipline to set them aside and move on.” Other examples of Safe’s architectural expertise focus, copiously, on a St. Louis County home that bloomed from an unrealized 1972 Lake St. Louis project. Called Residence K, that home’s Sheldon display involves five mini floor plans, almost two dozen photographs and a 2- by 2½-foot detail sheet, a grid comprising 72 finish details. It also looks, to an admittedly amateur eye, Miesian – reflecting, perhaps, the International Style aesthetic of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The photos just mentioned document Residence K’s development – mostly utilitarian stuff. Beyond practical applications attendant on architectural projects, though, Safe’s photographic works “are informed by his sensibilities as an architect,” states a plaque near the entrance to the exhibition. Half a dozen or so larger photos, printed with archival inks on 100 percent cotton paper and hung at the front and the rear of the gallery, corroborate that statement. The professor himself cites a photographic goal of “capturing some instance [or] moment of human interaction in the built environment. Photographs can tell stories, and I look for that possibility in what I shoot.” A humanitarian aesthetic similar to that embodied in his photography characterizes Safe’s work with furniture, which he
28
november 17, 2017 | LadueNews.com
calls “the most intimate architecture.” Further, that in the Sheldon exhibition largely comprises one particular type of furniture: the table. An online brief for a furniture design class the An example of Safe’s tabular artistry professor has taught at the Sam Fox School suggests the rationale for that: “The course focuses on tables specifically because, intrinsically, so few demands are placed on them. Almost anything is, or can be, a table. Any horizontal surface held up by some support can qualify as a ‘table.’ If that’s the case, the issue of ‘designing a table’ precipitates the demand of exploring ‘why’ or ‘what table.’ What does ‘table’ mean? What makes the table matter? Is the table sitespecific or generic, use-specific or general?” Appropriately, one of the most striking examples of Safe’s tabular work involves a bit of architectural history. A 2010 piece titled Cicero “resulted from a demolition in the process of working on the expansion of [University City’s] Blueberry Hill into the space previously occupied by Cicero’s,” explains a plaque in the gallery. “Workers removed sections of marble that were part of the old street façade and threw them into a dumpster. I selected one of the broken, irregular sections and asked a fabricator to cut the largest square possible from it.” To support that gorgeous piece of stone, Safe then fashioned a base of chromed stainless steel, each of whose legs differs from the others – with one cylindrical, the second a rectangular solid, the third an inverted triangular construct and the fourth an arboreal irregularity with a quintet of thin “branches” rising from a central “trunk.” Given his comment about “the most intimate architecture,” Safe provides one final surprise. When asked to identify a favorite furnishing from his own home, the professor, funnily and sweetly, goes with … something other than a table. “It’s a traditional, beautiful glass curio cabinet with curved glass corners that was my mother’s,” Safe says. “It’s a sentimental treasure.” The Sheldon Concert Hall & Art Galleries, 3648 Washington Blvd., St. Louis, 314-533-9900, thesheldon.org

ituated on one of St. Louis’ premier private streets, this historic Central West End home captivates inside and out. A gated drive leads you to this 1908 Italian-style estate, first introducing you to the private rear garden and terrace, plus carriage house. Step inside to uncover an elegant, open flow from the entry hall to the living and dining rooms, with light filtering through and accentuating the beautiful original millwork. The expansive eat-in kitchen highlights how the abode has been updated for the modern lifestyle, with a professional Wolf range and bountiful counter space. Leading into the family room, a lovely fireplace and French door light up the space. The handsome main staircase guides you upstairs to the bedrooms, offering a perfect place to perch midway, just below the exquisite stained glass window, with a book in hand. Additional amenities include a library with built-ins, an updated laundry room and gorgeous architectural details.

Thanksgiving-Based Skin Benefits
A
s Thanksgiving nears, many of us will be purchasing pumpkin, nutmeg, cranberry and apples – ingredients suited not only to making delectable dishes but also, oddly enough, to producing skin benefits! Here’s how such turkey-day staples can do more than just augment your holiday meal, ladies: Pumpkin. In addition to contributing to pie and other Thanksgiving dishes, pumpkin contains alpha hydroxy acids that help combat the signs of aging. By way of example, try the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask (available from Sephora) to see this much-beloved cucurbit work its dermal magic. Nutmeg. Besides contributing zest to eggnog, nutmeg contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help treat acne. Create a do-it-yourself spot treatment at home by mixing this standard-to-most-pantries spice with cinnamon and honey for use on breakouts or all over your face as a mask. Cranberry. Antioxidants cram cranberries, making them not only good to eat but also good
By Kimmie Gotch
for dermal benefits. How so? Well, beyond being highly absorbent, cranberry seed oil can greatly benefit people with dry skin. Also, cranberry seed oil (like the alpha hydroxy acids in pumpkin) can help fight the signs of facial aging. Apples. “An apple a day,” yeah, yeah, yeah. We all recognize that fruit is beneficial, at least anecdotally, but the humble apple also can really rock skin care. More specifically, apple cider vinegar ranks among the best all-natural astringents for dermal clearing and cleansing. So those with skin prone to acne who are seeking a natural aid should ditch sometimes-dear drugstore-bought toners and replace them with this common-to-allsupermarkets vinegar. Got all of that, ladies? Fab! So now, as you’re basting that big bird and candying those yams, you also can reflect on the benefits some of your culinary ingredients also have on your skin. Have a happy Thanksgiving!

By Amanda Dahl
mid the revelers and colorful festivities of the 2009 St. Louis Mardi Gras Parade, celebrated annually in fine style in Soulard, Ren Mullinix Jr. met his future wife, Marguerite Grace Shields. The two would return to the spot of their first meet seven years later, where Ren would take a knee, ring in hand, to ask Marguerite to be his bride. The June 10 wedding brought together more than 300 guests, including almost all of the bride’s family and many out-of-towners, to witness the nuptials. Honoring tradition, Marguerite and Ren tied the knot in the same chapel as the bride’s parents at Our Lady of Lourdes. Monsignor Michael Turek, who wed Marguerite’s parents and also baptized her, officiated the ceremony. The reception took place at St. Louis Country Club, which served as the perfect venue to capture the authentic beauty of that summer day. Frankie of Festive Couture Floral brought the outside in, with incredible displays of lush eucalyptus and flowers, while Kate & Company created the European ambiance of the space by removing rugs and adding long harvest tables, bringing Marguerite’s beautiful vision to life. Guests poured outside under a clear tent, with a gorgeous halo of greenery overhead. Marguerite’s brothers, Patrick and John, alongside her father, Jay, took the stage to serenade the bride with a rendition of “My Girl” by The Temptations. A full moon rose as the group swayed to the rhythms of The Fabulous Motown Revue. Ren recalls on one of their first dates telling Marguerite he was going to marry her. When that day came, the two had the time of their lives celebrating amid all of their loved ones. The couple spent their honeymoon in Spain and now reside in Denver.

NOVEMBER 17, 2017 | LadueNews.com
Not many people when they get up in the morning can say that they love their job and can’t wait to get to work, but I’m one of the lucky few. - JOHN KELLY to be tough to do. “I think there are different ways to define legendary,” he says. “I’m no way close to my dad; he was a national announcer his entire career and won some very prominent awards in hockey. He’s in the Hockey Hall of Fame!” Kelly shares that it wouldn’t bother him a bit if he’s remembered only as the son of Patrick “Dan” Kelly. However, as mentioned previously, the tale may have yet another chapter. Kelly’s own 22-year-old son, also named Patrick, is studying broadcasting at Lindenwood University. His goal is to be the third generation of Kellys as the voice of the Blues. Now that’s the stuff that legends are made of.

ohn Kelly’s story isn’t quite legendary yet, but the longtime St. Louis Blues television broadcaster comes from legendary stock. His fable may just take another generation before it’s fully told. Kelly moved to St. Louis from Canada in 1968, when his dad, Hockey Hall of Fame announcer Dan Kelly, became the voice of the Blues. The elder Kelly was already a prominent play-by-play man in Canada, but spent the next two decades in St. Louis while continuing to do NHL telecasts. It seemed inevitable that the younger Kelly would follow in his dad’s footsteps, and he did, right down to the sound of his voice. The similarity is uncanny, but Kelly says it came naturally. “I think its genetics,” Kelly says. “You have to remember as a kid, if I wasn’t at the game, I would listen every single night in my bed with my transistor radio. So when you listen to somebody night after night broadcasting hockey, you’re going to pick up a lot of their characteristics and traits.” In November 1988, Kelly father and son called their one-and-only Blues game together. A few months later, Kelly’s father lost his fight with lung cancer at the age of 52. Kelly still feels the loss of his father and the pain of cancer’s sting. “It seems so tragic to me because he was such a great father and husband, and he worked so hard his entire life,” Kelly reflects. “He came from a lower- middle-class upbringing and rose to prominence as one of the greatest hockey broadcasters ever but never got to enjoy his retirement or grandkids. It’s so sad.” Kelly and I are sitting in the stands of Scottrade Center while watching the Blues practice. The sound of pucks hitting the boards echoes through the empty seats. The players aren’t wearing numbers on their practice jerseys, but Kelly knows the team so well he doesn’t need numbers. He can identify the players just by the way they skate and shoot the puck. Kelly started working for the Blues the same year his father passed away, but after three seasons, he left St. Louis. He called games in both Tampa Bay and Colorado for 12 years, picking up two Stanley Cup rings with the Rockies before coming home in 2005. Kelly’s now in his 16th season with the Blues, and at 57, he hopes he’s home for good. As the team goes through its power-play drills, Kelly reflects on another difficult milestone in his life – the day he found out his wife Jennifer had breast cancer. “When your wife is diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer, it’s a shock,” he says. “She was shocked because she has lived a very healthy life.” Kelly praises the doctors at the Siteman Cancer Center for his wife’s treatment. “There was never a concern that they couldn’t cure it,” Kelly says. “They were aggressive in their treatments. It was very difficult for her physically and mentally, but we got through it. It was a tough year and a half, and she still struggles with some of the side effects of the medications, but overall she feels great.” Kelly smiles when he says his wife is on the road to a complete recovery, noting that despite the setbacks, he’s lived a charmed life. Kelly grew up with an NHL team, played high school hockey at Parkway North, learned the basics of his trade at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, announced Stanley Cup Championship games and raised two daughters and a son with his wife, all while having a dream job in his adopted hometown. “I’m just very blessed with great family and a job that I love, and hopefully can do for the rest of my career,” Kelly says. “Not many people when they get up in the morning can say that they love their job and can’t wait to get to work, but I’m one of the lucky few.” Kelly admits, though, that attaining the same legendary status as his dad is going

of TradiTion and progress.
ifficult numerical problems, multifaceted scientific projects, classroom presentations and outside reading form part of every elementary student’s daily studies. Meanwhile, advanced placement classes, international baccalaureate curriculums and college preparatory opportunities are becoming the norm for many high school scholars. While some students feel hyper-motivated to make good grades, though, others just try to survive the dayto-day pressures of academic life. In years past, private tutoring often aided only struggling students. Children as young as 4 or 5 years would seek academic support to learn basic concepts, while older students often employed tutors to assist with a specific subject area. Although this remains the case, the educational industry is now registering a new trend – of outside professionals being hired to help students boost their GPA, assist with complex subject matter and prepare for admission tests like the SAT and ACT. Although most students still work with a tutor for traditional help, more and more teenagers are getting assistance to advance their studies. Even before a semester begins, many adolescents realize they’ll face an extremely challenging teacher or a particularly difficult class. In such situations, many students proactively and preemptively engage professional help to ensure they understand material, minimize stress and earn good grades. Tutoring can also help busy students achieve school/life balance. Many who pursue sports, enjoy artistic endeavors or have a unique, time-consuming extracurricular life struggle to fit everything in. An organizational tutor can help prioritize work and structure study schedules that allow talented youths to maximize homework time so they can pursue their passions while still maintaining their grades. Another rapidly growing area of assistance involves test prep specialists. Although most schools offer classes to help students with standardized test-taking strategies, these exams overwhelm many families. Parents are hiring specific specialists who assist their children to prepare. By adapting their curriculum and teaching pace to match a student’s strengths and weaknesses, these instructors create a customized learning experience focused on test performance. In addition to providing academic assistance, such experts build student confidence by teaching about test format, penalties for guessing and exam-specific strategies. Tutors, it bears nothing, aren’t babysitters or homework-doers. A competent professional will understand the unique needs of each client and succeed in building a trusting relationship. Do your research, though, before hiring a tutor – especially if seeking specialized assistance. Hourly fees can range from $15 for a college student to more than $85 for a specially trained teacher. A good tutor, however, constitutes a valuable commodity that can relieve student stress and deliver valuable results.

Story and photos by Ryan Scott
TEsT DRiVE: 2017 Acura NSX
r a c r e p u S
ALL-STAR
ThE 2017 AcuRA NsX pROVEs ThAT A supERcAR cAN AlsO BE yOuR EVERyDAy AuTOMOBilE.
I
n poking around the internet and reading about what’s hot and exciting in the automotive world, I noticed the 2017 Acura NSX was the car everyone seems to love to hate. That was a head-scratcher for me, because at least on paper, the new NSX offers a lot of the things car nuts love. Granted, online discussions about cars that cost more than $150,000 can often be undercut by envy, but still, the critical feedback seemed more pervasive than usual – and that made me all the more eager for a test drive. So it seemed like fate when I bumped into Travis from Leta Acura at a local cars-and-coffee event, and he was driving the Casino White NSX (pictured here) and said he’d love to have me drive it sometime. First, though, let’s discuss exactly what the new NSX is, as well as what a supercar is in general. The traditionalist would say a supercar is an Italian (or at least European) car with jaw-dropping, almost violent performance capabilities, wrapped in a dead-sexy shape. Supercars typically forgo the niceties of everyday driving – a comfortable ride, lots of cup holders and reliability. Instead, if a supercar leaves you stranded on the side of the road, you excuse it as part of the deal. But more than anything, what many would say defines a supercar is its singular focus on bending reality and convincing the driver that he or she is some sort of Hollywood hero. The NSX does these things well, but those aren’t the only things it does, and maybe it’s this “mission creep” away from one-track-mind design that gives fuel to some of the online fire. Counter to popular opinion, Acura says supercars don’t have to be finicky beasts; the application of modern tech should allow a wellconceived machine to release endorphins on demand and coddle on the stop-and-go commute to work. If done well, I see no reason for consternation among the automotive adrenaline seekers. In keeping with the original NSX, leading up to the new model’s release, Acura said that the goal of the car was to give the owner more livability than those eminently capable but also moody supercars. In early 2016, the final details became clear: The NSX would employ a mid-engine twin-turbo 3.5L V6, a hybrid electric system to boost instant throttle response, and a 9-speed dual clutch gearbox. A lot of tech with the devil ultimately in the details. Let’s talk about the petrol engine first. Unlike the original NSX, it’s not a pumped-up 3.5L V6 pulled from an Odyssey minivan. Instead, it’s born of Honda’s racing heritage with a 75-degree V-angle and a dry sump oiling system. On its own, the twin-turbo V6 is rated at 500 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque at a low 2,000 rpm. And in driving, its motorsports roots are obvious – this engine is silky smooth and rev happy. It wants to see redline, practically begs for it, and in doing so rewards the driver with intoxicating thrust. Its soundtrack also creates a lovely chorus, with a deep
70
NOVEMBER 17, 2017 | LadueNews.com
rumble intermixed into higher frequency harmonics that become more prominent as revs increase. Electric motors are known for their instantaneous whack of full-power output, and it’s that startling abruptness that makes the Tesla so giggle-inducing. What Acura has done is employ a 36hp electric motor on each of the front wheels, and another 50hp motor shared by the two rear wheels to give immediate throttle response while the petrol engine is getting into its happy range. But while the push tails off as speed increases with a purely electric drivetrain, the NSX gains urgency as you move faster, combining the best of both worlds. Also, the electric assist helps smooth out acceleration rough edges. This NSX is capable of sub-3second 0-to-60 sprints, and how easily it does so makes one believe it could be done over and over consistently, without worry of a time-killing fudged launch. While the hybrid powertrain tech is the obvious talking point, all the tech smarts employed in the chassis and drivetrain are equally relevant, if not
equally obvious at first glance. The NSX’s 9-speed dual clutch is smart – wicked smart. While test driving every car, at some point during my evaluation, I switch gears manually instead of letting the ECU decide. And in most cases, this injects a bit more driver involvement, because I’m just a bit smarter at making those decisions. With the NSX, I found the computer always did a better job of deciding when to switch cogs than I could, and adding myself to the processing cycle only dulled the experience. Every true driver’s car has switchable driving modes these days – some are obvious changes, others not so much. The NSX has four switchable modes, and they transform the car from kitten to killer. In Quiet mode, for instance, the NSX can slink past unnoticed, except for its traffic-stopping looks. Quiet mode keeps the car on battery power up to 20 mph, quiets the exhaust above and softens all its senses. Then there’s Track mode: Turn the knob to that position, and the NSX becomes a high-wire experience, walking the razor’s
edge between control and chaos. To truly discover the boundaries of what the NSX is capable of in Track mode would actually require a safe and controlled track setting. On the street, after a handful of 20mph switchback corners, I found myself white-knuckled and backing down to the more computer-stabilized Sport+ setting – but wow, was it exhilarating! I’ve never experienced a more dual character car, and it was all made possible with tech and smart programming. No longer does your supercar need to sit under a car cover all week – the new NSX proves it. This car could absolutely be driven anytime or all the time. Its cost of admission means it will be compared to a lofty few on the market, and one might want for more luxury inside, or a bit more storage space, possibly a more refined stereo system. What the NSX does more perfectly than any other car available today is making supercar excitement accessible on a daily basis. And really, what fun is a supercar if it spends its life in your garage?

n St. Louis’ Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood, Pig & Pickle features Southern-inspired small plates in a New American restaurant setting with roots across the Mississippi River. The establishment, which opened in September, comes from chef Ryan Lewis, who previously owned Driftwood Cocktail & Eatery in Springfield, Illinois. Lewis (a native of Bethalto in the Prairie State) operated that restaurant from September 2014 to July 2017 before retooling it for the St. Louis market. Pig & Pickle fills roughly 2,000 square feet previously occupied by Atlas Restaurant, with 44 seats in the dining room and an additional seven at the bar. “We try to keep things a little rustic, but there’s

also a contemporary feel behind it all,” says general manager Carina Flesch. “It’s a bit of country mixed with industrial.” Updates to the space include a fresh coat of orange paint, refinished floors and a bar wall made of repurposed wood in varying natural shades. On the bar’s shelves, beside a miniature pig statuette gifted by former regulars, a hunk of driftwood pays homage to the restaurant’s ancestor. To conceptually unite the porcine component of the restaurant’s name to its other half, a row of colorful pickle jars illuminates the dining room. A few popular items from Driftwood’s menu made the trip from Springfield to Pig & Pickle, among them
By Mabel Suen pretzel-crusted cheese curds, “fried chicken n biscuit,” and one of Lewis’ personal favorites: chicken “rinds,” or Cajun-spiced fried chicken skins served with sweetand-sour sauce and jalapeño. Another of Lewis’ top recommendations, charred octopus, incorporates roasted garlic and shallot, edible flowers, lemon zest, chili oil and lime vinaigrette. Additional popular picks include brisket jambalaya, with cured brisket, black-eyed peas, tomato and hoppin’ John, as well as barley risotto with sweet potato, butternut squash, chili oil, fried egg, pickled onion and mushroom – both of which sound like exquisite bites before catching On Your Feet! at The Fabulous Fox Theatre.

Pig & Pickle offers a brunch menu, and the restaurant’s drinks include various draft beers, a selection of wine and almost three dozen specialty cocktails, among them the self-restorative-sounding Winter Is Coming (Death’s Door gin, Disaronno liqueur and saffron bitters). The restaurant also offers such refreshing boozeless libations as the Lemons & Lavender, with lemon juice, honey, juniper and lavender bud. “I’m just looking forward to the opportunity to be in a bigger market and really refine what we’re doing,” Lewis says. “We’re going to be a little more adventurous with what we put on the menu here.”

Story: Young Gloria Fajardo enjoys writing music and playing the guitar while she pursues a degree in psychology. Her mother, also named Gloria, wants her daughter to have a career and do better for herself than living in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami. One day grandmother Consuelo introduces her granddaughter to Emilio Estefan and his local band, the Miami Latin Boys. Gloria’s talents intrigue Emilio so much that he offers her a place in the band. Although Gloria’s mother insists that she avoid the allure of performing, Gloria nonetheless joins Emilio’s ensemble, which eventually becomes known as the Miami Sound Machine. As their careers soar, Gloria and Emilio fall in love and marry. After achieving considerable success in the Latin music market, they ask their music executive, Phil, to introduce them to the wider pop market with songs they’ve written in English. Phil adamantly refuses, telling them to enjoy what they have and relating even bigger plans he has for them to dominate the Latin audience. Emilio and Gloria persist, however, taking small gigs where they can perform their English tunes in addition to their Spanish hits. When Phil sees how popular the Miami Sound Machine has become, he changes his mind and helps propel the Estefans to greater success. That success comes at a price, though. Gloria becomes estranged from her mother, learning from her grandmother that the elder Gloria, in her youth, landed a contract offer for a Hollywood career – but was prevented from leaving Cuba by her father. Then, as the Estefans and their son accompany the band by bus to a performance, they’re involved in an accident that badly injures Gloria. Physicians recommend a long, risky surgery to repair Gloria’s injured back. Even after surgery, though, they warn she faces a considerable period in rehabilitation before she can even think about resuming her career. Despite that, Emilio accepts an invitation for Gloria and the band to appear on a national music awards telecast, giving Gloria a goal to achieve on her road to recovery. Highlights: The infectious, feel-good tunes of Emilio and Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine fill this jukebox musical with an energy that, coupled with the story of their rise to stardom and recovery from near tragedy, makes for an evening of delightful songs and vibrant dancing. Other Info: On Your Feet! opened on Broadway in 2015 and closed this past August after 780 performances. Its first national tour, which began in September, includes a two-week run at The Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis, which continues through Nov. 19. Like any good jukebox musical, On Your Feet! abounds with recognizable, popular songs. Several members of the Miami Sound Machine, which is musically directed by Jorge Casas, take part in the touring production, including assistant musical director
By Mark Bretz
Ostwald at the keyboards, as well as Casas on bass, trombonist Theodore Mulet and percussionist Edward Bonilla. Associate music director and keyboardist Emmanuel Schvartzman, trumpeter Jose Ruiz, reed player Michael Scaglione, guitarist Stephen Flakus, percussionist Jean-Christophe Leroy and drummer Coin Taylor complete the band. Cuban-American actress Christie Prades delivers a spirited performance in the role of Gloria, who has won seven Grammy Awards. Prades has an easy chemistry with Mauricio Martinez, who’s engaging and likable as Emilio, himself a winner of 19 Grammys. The two-act show brims with familiar tunes from the Estefan/Miami Sound Machine canon, such as the dazzling first-act finale, “Conga,” as well as other well-known songs including “1-2-3,” “Anything for You,” “Don’t Wanna Lose You” and nearly two dozen more. Nancy Ticotin displays ample moves as Gloria’s frustrated mother, who was held back from reaching her own dreams. Alma Cuervo delights the audience as Gloria’s supportive grandmother, while Claudia Yanez capably portrays Gloria’s sister. Jason Martinez delivers a strong performance as Gloria’s incapacitated Vietnam veteran father. Kevin Tellez and Jordan Vergara take turns in the crowd-pleasing role of the Estefans’ energetic and looselimbed son, while Amaris Sanchez and Carmen Sanchez nicely rotate in the role of Gloria as a young girl. Devon Goffman does well as Phil, the Estefans’ music executive. With its irresistible melodies and intoxicating sound, On Your Feet! serves both as a description of the audience’s enthusiasm and as a fitting salute to the irrepressible music and spirit of the Estefans and the Miami Sound Machine.

St. Louis-based Big Heart Tea Co. offers hand-blended herbal teas to benefit your everyday well-being.
W
hether it’s sipping on a Cup of Sunshine, Fake Coffee or Calm Yo’ Tummy, Big Heart Tea Co. wants to help start your day in a healthy way. Since 2012, the St. Louis-based business has been hand-blending herbal and medicinal teas with a goal of making people healthier and happier. “We’re a tea company founded on promoting [the antioxidant-rich herb] turmeric, educating people about the life-changing benefits of tea and coming up with products that are approachable for people’s everyday lives,” says founder Lisa Govro.
Through her own trial and error and research and development over the past five years, Govro has honed a process of hand-blending all-natural herbs into teas she says are more flavorful and aromatic than other varieties because they’re freshly made in small batches once a month. “We break the herbs, and that releases essential oils, which is flavor, but also [medicinal],” she says. In 2014, Govro stepped away from growing her one-woman operation, then called ReTrailer Tea Co., to focus on the birth of her daughter. This March, the entrepreneur returned to her company full time and relaunched it as Big Heart Tea Co. “I decided to rebrand to bring focus back to our consumers’ self-care and self-love and healing themselves and their loved ones with herbal tea,” she says. “We’re a softer tea, with a lifestyle application, because you not only can have a cup of our tea [but] there [also] are different food applications you can use with the tea.” Today, Big Heart offers seven specialty tea blends, most of which include its signature main ingredient, tulsi, or holy basil, along with different organic medicinal herbs and sweet spices for a healthy boost and a pleasing flavor profile. “If you follow the package instructions on how to make our tea – at a lower temperature for a shorter time than typical brewing methods – you’ll enjoy a lot more nuance of flavors, such as the sweetness notes in the rose tea,” she says. Big Heart’s flagship tea, Cup of
Sunshine, features tulsi, turmeric, ginger, peppercorn and cinnamon, and its chai is blended with antioxidant-rich red rooibos tea, tulsi and sweet spices, including ginger, cinnamon and peppercorn. The brand’s Cup of Love is a naturally sweet rose tea, while Royal Treatmint is a refreshing mint-and-lavender blend. Calm Yo’ Tummy is a savory lavender-and-fennel tea to destress and stimulate digestion. Although most of the company’s teas are decaf, it does have two caffeinated offerings: Fake Coffee, a chocolatey blend of cacao, roasted chicory, dandelion root and sweet cinnamon, and Edith Grey, a citrusy African black tea infused with bergamot and blended with rose. The business also carries caffeinated iced tea sourced from Malawi in southeast Africa. Since its spring relaunch, Big Heart has grown to four staffers and tripled its business, Govro notes. Its tea blends can be found at bigheartttea.com and in about 30 St. Louis restaurants, including The Mud House, Café Osage and Pastaria, as well as in 12 states across the country. Some of the biggest challenges the company has overcome were proving its concept in the market and finding its niche in the local neighborhood, Govro says. Once the business rebranded, it was able to gain more financing to expand its growing operation from a downtown St. Louis culinary incubator to a new location in Gravois Park, at 2615 Winnebago St. With more space to expand, Big Heart developed its newest product: Sunshine Dust, a stone-ground,
hand-blended, water-soluble decaf powder that’s an organic mix of ginger, turmeric, lemongrass and peppercorn. Inspired by matcha (a stone-milled green tea used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony), Sunshine Dust has a fiery flavor from herbs that may help fight inflammation, stimulate digestion and improve your immune system, according to Govro. “It’s also easily applied into your food experience, from smoothies and juices to savory dishes and sweet pastries,” she adds, noting that recipes incorporating Sunshine Dust can be found on the company’s blog, bighearttea.com/blog. More new products are percolating at Big Heart this year, including a holiday line of tea blends featuring a selection of chocolate teas that is set to launch on Black Friday. Govro also has a goal of making her company’s herb ingredients 100 percent traceable: She is traveling this fall in India to explore the farms where herbs for teas are grown. “We currently work with an herbal importer, and we know about the general region, but not about the farms,” Govro says. “Our long-term goal is to be 100 percent traceable and know everything about all of the ingredients in our teas, from the farmers who harvest them to how they are compensated and treated as laborers to their agricultural practices.” Adding a cup of Big Heart Tea to your daily routine is a simple change you can make in your everyday life to improve your wellbeing, Govro notes. “It’s a nice, comforting way to start and end your day.” Big Heart Tea Co., bighearttea.com
