2014 has arrived It is a new year. 2014. What will it bring? We cannot know the future, but only work toward making each today count.

The new year brings opportunity for New Year’s Resolutions. If you are like most Americans, you will make at least one.

Will it be to lose weight? There are plenty of places around town that offer workout opportunities to get healthier. Will it be to quit smoking?

Try online support groups for the help you need to kick the habit.

Maybe it is just to spend more time with the people you love. Try bundling up and going for a walk hand-in-hand through Colonial Williamsburg.

This month’s magazine features the winners of this year’s Best of Williamsburg contest. The online balloting found thousands of people casting their votes for the best.

Our featured chef this month is Tim Westby-Gibson of the recently opened Prime 46forty in Monticello Marketplace. We are featuring Jane Wason of Zaxby’s in our on-going Women in Business section.

As for our Great Find? Try the Williamsburg Antique Mall where you can find a plethora of great finds from hundreds of vendors.

Take time this month to enjoy the crisp winter weather. Before we know it, spring will be here and we will be ready to greet it with zeal .

“Three Generations Serving You”

what’s cooking?

Tim Westby-Gibson

Prime location for executive chef

By Ann M. Efimetz “Sometimes even the simplest things, if you use the right ingredients can be fantastic,” said Tim WestbyGibson, executive chef and co-owner of Prime 46forty at Monticello Marketplace.

He was speaking recently about his desire to offer patrons a truly unique dining experience— from what they find on the menu to the décor— of the recently opened restaurant. The statement seems to pervade Westby-Gibson’s attitude in everything he does, as he and his business partner Caroll Bull have established a new dining venue which has been garnering rave reviews from locals and visitors.

Bull is the former owner of A Carroll’s Bistro on Scotland Street where Westby-Gibson worked for seven years as chef. He has also used his culinary expertise as chef at Center Street Grill and Café Provencal at the Williamsburg Winery.

Food is his passion.

“What I try to do is find the best quality ingredients available and let them speak for themselves, “he said.

“But I like to have fun, too. I try things that are different while still maintaining my roots in traditional cooking.”

The restaurant menu is different from those people may find locally. Alongside steaks or crab cakes, patrons get to choose from grilled wild boar chop, real Hawaiian Mahi tuna and Tasmanian King Salmon.

“We offer things nowhere in town does, “he said. “I try to get the best ingredients I can find and present them in ways that are unique, yet are still comfortable for our patrons. We do try to push the envelope, so there is something new and different for them to try.”

He goes to great lengths to obtain the highest quality ingredients, whether it is eggs, produce or meat.

“We feature Allen Brothers beef which is one of the finest Midwestern beefs available,” he said. “It is the best of the best. We have people who come to the restaurant just for the steaks.”

The more unusual menu selections, including boar and venison, are ordered from Broken Arrow Ranch in Texas, which he added, is one of the premiere game farms in the country. He said people are often surprised when they select boar, finding it very lean with only a slightly gamier taste. Same for the venison.

“The venison is a very good tasting meat, “he said. “It is similar to beef with a gamier flavor, it tastes fantastic.”

Seafood also takes high priority.

“We do very well with our seafood selections, “he said. “We have local sources, and also ones from around the world. Our fish comes from the Honolulu Fish Company. I get fish from New Zealand and from the Mediterranean Sea.” Westby-Gibson doesn’t skimp on any of the ingredients. Everything on the menu is made by hand, from pasta to soup stock to ice cream. Westby-Gibson buys pork bellies to cure and smoke his own bacon, which gives recipes using it added zing.

“It’s the little things people may take for granted that sets us apart,” he said.

Westby-Gibson spends his days juggling the responsibilities that come with business ownership and being an executive chef while coming up with ways to surprise and delight patrons with specials. And when he is not at the restaurant, he cooks at home for his wife and two children.

“The kids like daddy’s cooking,” he said with a laugh, adding they have tried many different foods. “Instead of having chicken, I tell them we are having chicken with a lot of cool stuff on it.”

Westby-Gibson is happy at the restaurant, and is excited about the future, continuing to offer the best dining experience he can, while challenging his own skills.

“Every day I learn something new,” he said. “Every day there is something I want to learn. That is what makes me work hard, because every day there is something new that I want to try.”

A TASTE OF ITALY AT

MAURIZIO’S

By Ann M. Efimetz

For the past 20 years, Maurizio Fiorello has been providing visitors to his restaurant with quality Italian food and warm hospitality.

The family-owned and operated business has grown over the years, serving thousands of locals and visitors, some who have visited each year for two decades.

“One family has visited our restaurant every year for twenty years,” Fiorello said in a recent interview. “I know them by where they sit and the food they order.

It is always a pleasure to see them and welcome them back.”

The family atmosphere springs from Fiorello’s roots in Palermo, Sicily. He began his restaurant career when he traveled to the U.S. at age 15. He worked for his family’s restaurant, learning the secrets of fine cooking under the tutelage of his mother.

Eventually, he opened Maurizio’s with his wife Rebecca, and since has established a name among local restaurants for its authentic Italian fare.

“We make nearly everything from scratch,” Fiorello said.

“When customers come to the restaurant, they know they are tasting authentic Italian cuisine. Nothing here is canned or frozen.”

30

WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2014

Fiorello’s top priority is providing the customer with a place they feel comfortable whether they are celebrating an occasion, dining with their friends. The restaurant’s proximity to Busch Gardens makes the restaurant a favorite with families visiting the park.

Fiorello prides himself on his knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Some have been working at the restaurant for 15 years.

“This is a place where you will be able to find delicious food, but also a place that has a friendly atmosphere, a personality of its own,” he said. “Many of those on my staff have worked here for years and are a valuable part of the restaurant family.”

• Tavern Ghost Walk – 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. and 9 to 10 p.m. Tours depart from Shields Tavern nightly. Tickets are $12 for adults and $7 for children under 12. This family-friendly tour is suitable for all ages and can accommodate wheelchairs and strollers. It’s a spirited, interactive peek at the 21st-century folklore of the Revolutionary City.

• The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg – Two new exhibitions: “Painters and Paintings of the Early American South” exposes previously unexplored regional connections between painters and their subjects in the 18th century. “Threads of Feelings” makes its final and only U.S. appearance in the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg.

On loan from The Foundling Museum of London, the exhibition includes 59 books of fabric tokens — each a scrap of material reflecting the life of an infant child given up to the Foundling Hospital during the mid-18th century.

senses performed in a concert similar to one performed in June 1777.

The candelit setting is a fitting backdrop for what Thomas Jefferson described as a “delightful recreation.” $15 adults, $7.50 youths.

• Historic Taverns – In the 18th century, these public houses were gathering places for residents and travelers. Today, Colonial Williamsburg’s taverns offer menus similar to popular fare enjoyed by patriots like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. Guests experience how some of America’s most illustrious figures ate and socialized. Winter is a great time to enjoy a tavern meal. At least one tavern is open daily throughout the month of January. Reservations and information are available by calling 757-229-2141 or 1-800-447-8679.

For more information, call 1-800-HISTORY or visit the Colonial Williamsburg Regional Visitor Center, Greenhow Lumber House Ticket Office or Merchants Square Ticket Office.

women in business Jane Wason, Zaxby’s

Business sense

By Ann M. Efimetz

Jane Wason is the owner and manager of Zaxby’s in Williamsburg Crossing Shopping Center. Zaxby’s opened in September 2010 and since has been gaining popularity among locals and visitors.

That’s because owner Jane Wason and her husband, Wally, put the customer first, striving to make Zaxby’s a place to visit time and again.

Wason said the restaurant has steadily drawing more customers who have heard by word-of-mouth about the menu and service offered at the restaurant.

38

WILLIAMSBURG MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2014

“It is been slow developing brand recognition,” Wason said recently. “But we are growing in a good direction, people are discovering us and finding out what we are all about.”

Wason has a good sense of humor when it comes to the challenges of owning a business while juggling the responsibilities that come with being a mother of three kids, ages 12, 14 and 16.

“It is very much a challenge,” she said with a laugh. “It takes a lot of organizing and leaning on my husband to get it all done. Sometimes the whole family is helping out and it is group effort. I also have

some good employees who are very smart and very helpful. It is teamwork in every direction.”

Zaxby’s is a franchised chain that features casual dining with fare ranging from chicken wings to sandwiches and salads. There are about 600 restaurants through the Southeast U.S. Wason said the Zaxby’s company is currently examining healthy options to add to the menu in the future, which could include fruit cups, salads and grilled options.

Wason’s restaurant has made a name within the community, fulfilling catering requests for various sports teams, including William and Mary, doctor’s offices and special events.

The best part of her job?

“Meeting the people who come in and talking to them is the best part of my job,” Wason. “It is also great working with young adults and teaching them new skills in the store, mentoring them.”

Wason said she enjoys her work, even when it gets hectic.

“I do like what I do, it is very enjoyable. It can be overwhelming at times, but anything can be at times,” she said. “If you are willing to and really want to, you

can put your mind to it, you can do anything and be successful.”

She offers advice to women who may want to own their own business. “You have to really want it. It is not always easy, it doesn’t always go the way you want it to be, but if you keep working on it, you can be successful.”

Positive results I cannot say enough good things about the effectiveness of advertising in the Williamsburg Magazine. This magazine is distributed so widely, via the newspaper, at businesses all over town, at rest stops, etc.

If you are not advertising in the Williamsburg Magazine, you are missing a very crucial opportunity to reach those who visit and live in this community! The rates are very reasonable for what is offered and it is truly the most bang for your buck! I would drop every other advertisement I run before I would drop the Magazine.

Opportunities await retirees

That is not surprising considering all greater Williamsburg has to offer. This area is cultural hub which offers a variety of excellent entertainment, art and music. There is the College of William & Mary, Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and other 44

Those who want to get involved with the community will find countless opportunities to share their time and talent with wonderful organizations that run the gamut from garden clubs to nonprofit organizations.

There are several first-rate retirement communities throughout the area which will welcome people who have decided to call Williamsburg their home.
