SURGEONS
From the Editor-in-Chief Tis past winter, our family had a health scare. Everything worked out OK, but we learned some things. My wife, Jen, had been having strange pains in her throat when she swallowed. Her doctor, some specialists and even a scope found nothing. Eventually, an ultrasound revealed four masses, one of which was a tumor on her thyroid. Lesson 1: It often takes work to fnd the truth. Jen was anxious, worried she may have cancer. Her doctor reassured us this was almost certainly not the case, but our minds, well, they have a mind of their own. Still, we waited impatiently several days for biopsy results.Te tumor was benign, but the doctor wanted it out right away. To me, “right away” means NOW. Apparently, in the medical vernacular, it can be more fexible: “Oh, a week, or as soon as the hospital can get you in.” Lesson 2: W Words can be confusing. If that weren’t enough, our often-rescheduled move into our new home would now be right after Jen came home, full of pain meds. I wanted to delay that stress for her, but she just wanted the move done. Oy. ho Lesson 3: When you’re anxious, don’t make decisions that can be delayed. Te day of the surgery fnally came. After he was done, the surgeon said Jen looked good, but he wouldn’t have conclusive results for a week or so. As Jen slept, I got the kids from school so they could see w their mom. Te sweet posters they’d made to hang in her hospital room cheered her up. We hugged and th smiled and cried, happy she was OK, and after Jen fell asleep, the kids and I headed home. sm We replenished our hearts and bodies with a dinner of Shapiro’s matzo ball soup, roasted chicken and other goodies that our good friend, Deborah Dorman, had dropped at our place. ot Lesson 4: Matzo ball soup is just as good for your soul as chicken soup. I left my iPad for Jen in her hospital room. At her request, I texted her a pic of our meal so, she told me, she could post it on Deborah’s Facebook page to thank her. sh Lesson 5: Remove all electronic devices before leaving anyone who’s in a hospital, on painkillers and unsupervised by family or friends. un Troughout this ordeal, Jen and I tried to keep the kids’ schedules as normal as possible, so it was homework after Trougho dinner. As Izzy worked on my laptop, Facebook messages started popping up about Jen, the surgery, the scare … and he read them all. He looked at me and asked, with the gravity of a 50-year-old judge, “Daddy, is there something you’re not telling me? What’s really wrong with Mommy?” I tried to use logic, as Izzy’s wise beyond his years. “Mommy’s fne; you just saw her. She’s just sleeping of the medicine.” He was a tad skeptical but went back to his math. Lesson 6: Little eyes often see what we don’t think they’ll see. Ten came another hailstorm of Facebook notifcations that didn’t stop – nor did my son’s questions. It was getting late, so we fnished homework and snuggled in Mommy and Daddy’s bed with our little 7-pound “poo-pom,” Emmy. Gracie was out like a light; so was the pooch. But Izzy … Izzy was wide awake. “Daddy, I can’t calm down.” It was all those things people said about his mom; he needed to know she was all right. I reassured him, rubbing his back gently as he fnally drifted of. Lesson 7: Facebook and other social media are powerful. As the kids and dog dozed, I got my computer. I hadn’t posted anything about Jen’s surgery. What was going on? I logged on, looked at the messages and saw that “I” had posted all this stuf, though I knew I hadn’t! But Jen, aided by morphine and my iPad opened to my Facebook page, had posted — as me! Now I understood. I could explain things the next day. For now, I looked around and realized just how blessed I am. Jen was fne. Gracie looked angelic. And there was my buddy Izzy, totally in tune with his emotions, fnally at ease.

SINGULAR SENSATION Park City and Canyons combine to fashion America's largest ski resort Written by Eric Williams In March of 2105 a plan was approved to create the largest ski resort in America by combining Park City and Canyons. Te $50 million dollar capital plan is the most impactful capital program in history of the US ski industry. Conveniently located 40 minutes from downtown Salt Lake and home to many skiing and non-skiing events such as the famous Sundance Film Festival, the new merger offers 7,300-acres of skiable terrain with 14 bowls, over 300 trails, and 17 on-mountain restaurants, linked by a 22-mile network of 41 lifts. Tis merger ofers an unrivaled wealth of skiing for all levels with enough trails to occupy an extended trip. Beyond its sheer size, the new set up enhances the experience by not having to choose to stay in the charming town of Park City, filled with restaurants, galleries and bars, or at the base of Canyons, which has better access to the slopes. Now you can lodge at either and ski the interconnected terrain. Among the many improvements that have taken place include the Interconnect Gondola, an eight-passenger, high-speed 38 slmag.net
two-way gondola from the base of the existing Silverlode Lift at Park City to the Flatiron Lift at Canyons. Tis will mark the frst gondola at Park City Mountain Resort since "Te Gondola" was dismantled in 1997. Te new Miners Camp restaurant at the base of the Silverlode Lift is the main dining hub, with 500 indoor seats and a top-of-the-line kitchen and culinary experience. Te dining stations ofer fresh salads, burgers, pizza, Mediterranean wraps and chili. Te dining is cafeteria style, however the quality of the food feels more like a carefully crafted meal at an upscale restaurant. Tis location is a great spot to refuel, warm up and head back out on the slopes. With its 360-degree views of the Wasatch Mountains, Lookout Cabin, located atop Lookout Peak, is the perfect on-mountain dining experience. The well-crafted menu offers soups, salads and a few heartier dishes including my favorites: mac and cheese with cubed bacon and sea bass with bok choy on a polenta cake. Te 1400-square-foot deck features a striking view of the Canyons and is a perfect spot for an après-ski cocktail.

Te Grand Summit Hotel (parkcitymountain.com) is a ski in / out hotel located conveniently between the Orange Bubble Express and the Red Pine Gondola. The amenities include a spa, health and ftness center, childcare, ski valet and an outdoor heated pool. Room accommodations range from a standard room up to a fourbedroom penthouse to accommodate groups of all sizes. Under the culinary leadership of executive chef Manual Rozehmal, Te Farm restaurant, located at the Grand Summit resort, ofers an exceptional dining experience. Originally from a small village in the mountains of Germany, Rozehmal started cooking professionally at age 15 at Le Meridien in Munich through a three-year apprentice program while also attending culinary school. After receiving his culinary degree, Rozehmal continued cooking in Germany and Switzerland until moving to Dana Point, California. to work as a junior sous chef with
world-renowned Chef Michael Mina at Stonehill Tavern. Missing the mountains from his hometown in Germany, Rozehmal was drawn to Park City. Chef Rozehmal relies heavily on local purveyors to source the ingredients. Both the menu and wine list are extensive, the trout is a must have and the charcuterie board is a perfect starter for the table. High West Distillery & Saloon is a hot spot for unwinding after a day of skiing. Proprietor David Perkins moved to Park City in 2004 to pursue his passion to make whiskey. He grew up in Georgia and learned the secrets of making good whiskey from distillers in Kentucky and Scotland. His background as a biochemist in the biopharmaceutical industry plays a big part in his approach to making great whisky. Te Bison Burger and the High West Rendezvous Rye (served neat of course) are sure to please and a wonderful way to wrap-up the trip. sl slmag.net

Curating a Lifestyle: More Tan Face Value
Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers
Left to right: A more restrained trend in men’s jewelry limited the marketability of this bold watch encrusted with diamonds, sold $10,200.Te gold Rolex Day-Date became popularly known as “Te President” after Dwight Eisenhower made wearing the watch synonymous with power and authority. Spirited bidding for this example sent the price soaring to $21,000.
Most would agree that time is a precious asset–of which there is just never enough. Just two centuries ago, our only reference for the passage of time was a lengthening shadow, the chime of a clock or (for a few) a coveted pocket watch. In the 21st century however, time is measured in nanoseconds, reminders are ever-present, and it is even malleable. Participating in a live, online auction? Your clicked bid can competitively compete with bidders sitting in the auction gallery. Need to keep an eye on the clock? Look around¬–chances are there are several visual indicators of time within just a few feet of where you sit right now. Miss a great play during the big game? Simply rewind. With a culture focused on time (and how to fll every moment), a nod to an accessory that emphasizes the importance of time seems right (ahem) on time. Wristwatches are both a convenient marker of the precious commodity of time and a tangible asset in their own right. Given

their popularity as a collectible and an accessory, the history of wristwatches might surprise you. While pocket timepieces were all the rage for men in the 19th century, fashionable and afuent ladies donned watch bracelets. It was not until requisitioned for military use that wristwatches found favor among men; with early versions created by simply mating a pocket watch with a leather band. Patek Philippe was of the earliest makers of purposefully built wristwatches. Te esteemed frm pioneered the feld with a perpetual calendar, split-seconds hand, chronograph and minute repeaters, and their luxurious timepieces continue to lead the market for collectible watches today. Watch collecting tends to be a male-dominated hobby. Traditionally, men are more limited in their choice of accessories than women, and an interest in watches complements a host of men’s interests. A choice of watch is more than a statement of style. A bold, rugged sports watch conveys an interest and

Te timeless appeal of Patek Philippe’s innovative function and luxurious design hedges against market swings, evidenced by this Calatrava, sold $5,700.
enthusiasm for personal challenge, nature and competition. A sleek modern watch can signal someone who is comfortable with change and innovation; a hefty gold timepiece encrusted with gems indicates power and afuence. In terms of value, vintage watches have appreciated as steadily as any other asset–with fluctuations from time to time–but solid performance among the blue-chip sector (think Rolex, Patek Philippe and Cartier). Major auction houses now conduct several auctions per year devoted to luxury watches, but beginners may want to start with an expert local estate jeweler or trusted luxury auction frm who can advise on authenticity, marketability and maintenance. Highest prices are paid for unique pieces that were innovative in function, but timeless in design. Understanding the history and evolution of watch features will beneft savvy collectors. Precious metals, of course, command a premium
based on the commodities market, meaning the buying is good when gold is down. A quality, vintage gold Rolex in good working order may be purchased at auction for as little as $3500. Looking to enter the market at a lower price point? Opt for more obscure brands, pared-down features, or go the historical route. Finding timepieces with an interesting historical connection can ofer a bit of conversation starter at a reasonable entry. As a collector’s confidence grows, their tastes generally change and an ever-increasing focus on quality and rarity emerges. For seasoned horologists, an investment in their next watch may be in the realm of a new car. Purchased wisely, these acquisitions may grow appreciably in value, offering a most fashionable investment. sl Amelia & Jef Jefers are co-owners of two fne art, antique and bespoke collectibles companies: Garth's of Delaware, Ohio and Selkirk of St. Louis, Missouri.

It uses this information to select the most appropriate gear from the Dawn’s 8-speed ZF gearbox to ensure the driver is able to appropriately exploit the power from the Rolls-Royce 6.6-liter, 563hp twin-turbo V12. The Dawn is Rolls-Royce’s most powerful full four-seat drophead motorcar to date, and thanks to its advanced engineering, is lighter and more fuel-efcient than the majority of compromised 2+2 convertibles in the market. While holding the distinction of being the least feet-footed among its peers on these pages, driving a little slower will allow you to better hear the oohs and aahs as you cruise by (rolls-roycemotorcars.com). Koenigsegg Regera 0-60MPH: 2.8 seconds / Pricing from $1,890,000 If you thought Swedish ingenuity was limited to fat-packed furniture from IKEA, take a look at Regera, a limited production plug-in hybrid supercar by Koenigsegg. Derived from a Swedish verb meaning “to reign”, the Regera aims to be the most powerful production car ever. Backing up the company’s ambitions is a twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 engine that works in concert with a trio of UASA electric motors. Te Direct Drive Battery can be charged either by the combustion engine or through the charging port. Upping the cool factor is the Regera’s status as the frst fully robotized car; the ability to operate all body closures completely automatically and simultaneously from the remote or a Smartphone calls to mind a creature from a Transformer flick. Most impressive is the mechanism of the fully foldable, top-mounted carbon fber rear wing that disappears into the body, enhancing the car’s elegance while parked and reducing drag while cruising (koenigsegg.com).

Te Classic Dessert Wine – Tokaji Aszú
Te process by which the great dessert wines of Tokaj, Hungary are made is a fascinating one. Every grape has sugar in it. For a dry wine, the sugar and yeast combine to make alcohol, with the sugar being consumed during fermentation. In contrast, dessert wines keep or get their sweetness at the end of the process, as fermentation is stopped before completion or is unable to remove all residual sugar, thereby leaving behind that luscious sweetness. Here is the way they do it in Tokaj: Te grapes are allowed to stay on the vine after the normal harvest, creating more sugar to leave behind after fermentation. Te grapes get botrytis, or noble rot, as they are attacked by the fungus Botrytis. Te fungus punctures the skins of the grapes and causes dehydration, leaving them looking rotten or like raisins. As a result, grapes made by botrytis and late harvest produce a fraction of the wine that ripe grapes do, and this, of course, is one of the primary reasons dessert wines are expensive. Referred to as Aszú in Hungarian, the process is part of the name of the great wines of Tokaji Aszú. Te methods of late harvest and botrytis are how Aszú is made, but the story of how this began is a combination of mystery and legend. Why in the world would anyone leave grapes on the vine to rot without fully being aware they would make majestic wines of sweet perfection? As is the case with many a great invention, it happened by mistake. In ancient times, vineyard workers were told when to harvest

Written and photographed by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier
the grapes by the landowners. One legend purports that a vineyard owner was away at war or detained by illness or other situations. Te workers, being afraid to harvest without the direction of their owner, left the grapes on the vine, which caused them to over-ripen and be attacked by botrytis. When the owner fnally returned months after the usual harvest, he was aghast at the appearance of the grapes and mad at the vineyard workers inaction. Despite thinking all was lost, he ordered the vineyard workers to harvest and make wine from the “rotten” grapes. Te resulting wine was rich, lush, sweet and delicious, and all was forgiven. While the story seems a bit magical, it is probably rooted in some truth. Botrytis simply cannot occur in most vineyards, and when it does, it is not consistent. Of the grape varieties in the region of Tokaj, the most important is Furmint, followed by Hárslevelű and Muscat Lunel. Indigenous to Hungary, Furmint is very susceptible to botrytis and represents the majority of the Aszú blend. Botrytis is widely assisted in Hungary by the confuence of two rivers: the Bodrog and Tisza. Te presence of rivers or bodies of water increases humidity, which is essential for the fungus to grow. Additionally, most growers will make multiple passes through a vineyard, days or even weeks apart, to pick individual bunches of overripe botrytized grapes and in some cases even individual berries.
Before 2013 Aszú was added to a dry base wine to create varying levels of sweetness that were measured in units of Puttonyos. Te more Aszú they added, the sweeter the wine. You can still find labels that list the range of Puttonyos on a scale of three-to-six. However, after 2013, all Tokaji Aszú will be at a sweetness level of five-to-six Puttonyos. These are intensely sweet, complex and lush dessert wines. Te fnal level of Tokaji is Eszencia, which is 100 percent Aszú. Tis is an unbelievable wine that is thick and viscous, giving you the feeling that the gravity in the glass is diferent than outside the glass. Te closest equivalent could be honey but with crisp balancing acidity. It has a very low percentage of alcohol as no yeast can survive to ferment more than a couple of percentages. Tis is the remedy reputed to bring czars back from their deathbed and what inspired King Louis XV to call it the wine of kings and king of wines. I eschew dessert not because I don’t enjoy it, but simply because I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle, saving the carbohydrates for something I may appreciate more. One way to satiate my sweet tooth is with a complex dessert wine, which serves as dessert in a glass. If you are good with diving into a dessert, when pairing it with a dessert wine, be sure that the wine is as least as sweet as the dessert. If the dessert is sweeter then the wine, the wine will seem sour. Truth be told, very few wines pair well with a dessert that is over-the-
top sweet. Suitable accompaniments for Aszú are crème brûlée, fruit tarts and certainly blue-veined cheeses. I recommend tasting the following two wines to give you an idea of Aszú’s sublime deliciousness. Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos Béres Estate 2008 Intense color of full golden with copper highlights. Flavors of vanilla, orange preserves, dried apricot, honey, beeswax and light minerals. A fantastic wine with a rich, sweet and seductive round texture that is extra long. Finishes with balancing acidity. A classic dessert wine that pairs well with blue cheeses. Tokaji Eszencia Barta Estate 2013 Very intense yellow/gold color. An amazing wine that is as thick as lemon curd with unbelievable unctuousness, yet with fresh acidity. Full body, full favored and full sweetness with the favors of Acacia honey, lemon curd, baking spice and mandarin orange marmalade. It boasts an infnite fnish that cannot be forgotten. When wine is said to be the nectar of the gods, I am quite sure this is what they mean! sl A Certifed Wine Educator, Harper is one of 140 professionals in North America and 220 worldwide who have earned the title Master Sommelier.

A BIG TIME IN BIG SKY COUNTY Te Resort at Paws Up Written by Bridget Williams Some of my earliest childhood memories involve camping; paramount in my brain’s treasured cache is an epic grade school road trip “out west,” that cemented my perpetual fondness for that part of the country. While I’m apt to say that I am just as happy in a tent deep in the woods as in a posh hotel suite, truth be told, the older I get the more I appreciate creature comforts. Satisfying this recreational dichotomy is not as difcult as one would imagine as I discovered last fall on a visit to Te Resort at Paws Up, a vast 37,000-acre ranch in the heart of Montana Big Sky Country. Let’s start with scenery: it’s the kind that inspires slow panning in epic movies; the kind whose grandness puts selfimportance into perspective, a reminder of being a small player on a very vast stage; the kind that inspires you to breathe deeply, chuck the Smartphone and feel like a kid again; the kind that reminds you how good it feels to be in the outdoors; and, the kind that inspires a feeling of wonderment certainly shared by Captain Meriwether Lewis in 1806 as he climbed atop Sentinel Rock on the property looking for the Marias River. As someone who has trouble sitting still for fve minutes, I could have easily spent an eternity watching sunlight flit across the surface of the famed Blackfoot River as the swiftly running current gradually honed the pebbled riverbed to a smooth polish.

Located just 35 miles from the Missoula International Airport, the resort came about organically, beginning with scattered guest houses erected on the owners’ favorite spots. Formerly a working ranch, snow-capped mountain peaks ring the acreage, ofering excellent seasonal skiing within a two-hour drive. Officially opened in June 2005, The Resort at Paws Up offers accommodations for up to 250 guests in 28 rustic-chic vacation homes and 30 “glamping” tents. Te circa 1915 farmhouse residence of property owners Dave and Nadine Lipson overlooks the heart of the resort, a roughly 600acre “village” where livestock barns and sales facilities have been meticulously converted into a state-of-the-art conference center, reception building, dining house and high-end trading post (just in case you forgot to pack your Stetson). In the old bull barn, now a 10,000-square-foot conference center, original foorboards creak underfoot; their rustic nature is an interesting contrast to the art glass and gleaming chandeliers that also inhabit the space. One could easily imagine a Ralph Lauren ad campaign photo shoot being staged in the chic environs. Dave is the architecture buff, while Nadine oversees all of the interior design. One of the most interesting buildings in the village is a functioning one-room schoolhouse with a current enrollment of four pupils.
In the "village", livestock barns and sales facilities have been converted into a conference center, reception building, and restaurants.
One of 28 Big Timber homes
A short gander from the reception building, a brand new 11,000-square-foot activities barn next to the stables serves as a centralized jumping off point for the plethora of available activities. Dually rugged and refined, high-tech interior accoutrements are camoufaged behind upholstered leather walls, galvanized metal and stone. Clever windows in the kids’ retail section of the Wilderness Outpost, the “WO,” allow curious horses to peek their heads in for a look and a pet on the nose. Te small high-end retail boutique opens into a soaring-ceilinged space reminiscent of a contemporary cathedral. Tented accommodations are arranged into a series of fully supported camps a short distance ride from the village. The Moonlight, River, Creekside, Pinnacle and Clifside camps are far enough removed to lend the impression of a backcountry adventure without the hassle of actually trekking into the wilderness. One- and two-bedroom tents, ranging in size from 565 to 1,030-square-feet, are clustered around an alfresco dining pavilion with a long communal table, living room with fireplace and bar where guests enjoy a chef-prepared hearty breakfast (the French toast made with local Rockport Hutterite Colony banana bread and banana caramel sauce is a must try) and seasonally-inspired dinner (think fresh fish, grilled beef

tenderloin, chestnut soup, grilled romaine with maple-walnut dressing and warm bread pudding served in a mason jar). A pair of on-site Camping Butlers assigned to each camp ensures guests’ needs are amply and quickly met. Te canvas tents, erected on dedicated wooden platforms, are anything but primitive, with electricity, feather king-sized beds, western chic furniture, copper or jetted soaking tubs in the en-suite bathroom, and a private deck. Seven of the 28 Big Timber homes have a glamping tent in their backyard, an ideal solution for a house divided on which accommodation style to choose. Each home is assigned a zippy bright green Kia Soul for getting around the resort. Ranging in size from one-to-four bedrooms (1,600-3,300 square-feet), each luxurious home boasts original artwork, cozy woodburning freplaces, a fully equipped kitchen and laundry room, and cowboy chic furnishings. Repeat guests may be surprised to spy a photo from their previous sojourn in a frame on the nightstand; it’s just one example of innumerable small gestures that combine to create a truly unique experience. Amply spaced for privacy but not far enough to feel isolated, the site placement of the homes is ideal for large groups or extended families traveling en masse.

Ringing the edge of a picturesque meadow where horses languidly snack on prairie grasses a short walk from the Big Timber homes is “Spa Town,” comprised of 11 stand-alone treatment tents (in colder months treatments are conducted in an adjacent cabin). Spa Manager Laura Russell makes salt and sugar body scrubs from herbs and fowers picked on property and Montana-made honey. Unique treatments include the heavenly 120-minute “Last Best Massage,” in-home “Suite Dreams” massages, children’s treatments and night massages, where a hand-held lantern illuminates the path to your treatment tent and the rhythmic concert of crickets and a glimpse of the starry, starry sky all but guarantees a state of blissful relaxation. Group yoga is ofered several days a week. When it came time to select from the menu of available late fall activities, I decided to go way out of my comfort zone, choosing cattle driving and rappelling (in addition to becoming a regular at the spa and lacing up my trail running shoes daily to explore sections of more than 25-miles of hiking trails).
A horse eye view of the herd. Photo by Bridget Williams.
Adventure and autonomy are recurring themes that have always drawn colorful characters to the American West. Paws Up is no exception. Most notable among the infnitely fascinating staf is poetry-reciting, epic mustache-wearing, draft horse-driving Cowboy Steve. Adding to the already colorful cast of characters are artists, artisans, musicians, and experts in yoga, horsemanship and outdoor skills who are brought in for special programs throughout the year. For this inexperienced equestrienne, driving cattle was a pinnacle experience. I saddled up with a Stetson on my head and a resolute pounding in my heart, wondering how the motley crew of “city folk” united for the day’s adventure could possibly convince a few hundred head of cattle to move across two vast pastures. Although being a cowgirl is definitely not in my future (I was chided on more than one occasion for “splitting the herd,” as I was enamored with riding through the middle of the pack of bulky bovines), the experience of seeing a six-hour-old calf make the trek alongside its mother and speeding up to a sprightly gallop to help round up a wayward member of the herd was exhilarating. slmag.net

Near the halfway point, I spied a massive nest with a dozing bald eagle in it, which allowed me to temporarily relax my death grip on the rope and savor the descent. Other notable seasonal activities include guided wildlife viewing tours; horseback riding on 120-miles of trails, sporting clay shooting; access to the 72,000-square-foot Saddle Club at Paws Up; ATV tours, fy-fshing in the Blackfoot River (of A River Runs Trough It fame) and in the “Bob” on the blue-ribbon

A typical day for children ages six-to-12 may include pony or horseback rides, spending time with animals in the petting zoo, archery, arts and crafts, a feld trip to a nearby authentic ghost town (note: it’s a fun day trip for adults too), mining for gems in the sapphire-rich dirt and fashioning finds into jewelry. I was enamored with the kiddywampus tree house and the endless adventures, both real and imagined launched from within its walls. Teens can rappel, raft, canoe and fsh, among other peer-centric pursuits. A new evening children’s program and available after-hour care ensures “everyone gets exactly the vacation they want,” said Kecskes.

This company knows the meaning of service. They were great. It was the first time I needed their help to fix a leaking pipe, and they treated my problem like it was the most important thing on their schedule. Thank you.

A full-size billboard for the Italian release of Hitchcock’s Psycho fnds new purpose on barn doors separating the condo’s public spaces from the sleeping quarters.
ESCAPE FROM L.A.
A West Coast entrepreneur returns to his roots with Hollywood fair Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung Te big city view from the living room window of this unique Downtown condo is reminiscent of a classic 1920s vista; one could almost imagine panning down to a street scene of Model T Fords and businessmen in brown derbies hustling past on their way to St. Elmo’s for a three-martini lunch. The site of an old candy factory, the Meridian Lofts building is robust but modest on the outside, yet little short of spectacular on the inside, with its lofty ceilings, exposed brick and ductwork and immaculate renovation. Best of all, it is also ideally situated for all the sports, entertainment and fne dining on ofer in the heart of Downtown Indianapolis. Owner Richard Talley, a native Hoosier who now lives near Los Angeles in Newport Beach, uses the space as a pied à terre for his return trips to Indiana, and also as a home for 72 slmag.net
his burgeoning and (to the cineaste at any rate) mesmerizing collection of movie memorabilia. The moment one sets foot into the condo’s central thoroughfare, adjacent to the thoroughly modern kitchen, the home’s defnitive piece is displayed: a full-size billboard for the Italian release of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. Originally in six pieces, the artwork has been reassembled by WrightWorks master builder Christopher Wright to create a triptych of barn doors which separates the public spaces from the sleeping quarters. Having worked with designer Matt Harris since 2001, Wright describes himself as “the brush to Matt’s artist.” Wright explains he does his best to bring Harris’s designs to life. “I’m not always able to see where Matt is going with something,” he says, “but I’m getting better at it.”
With a pair of his clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yellow chairs acting as a vibrant base against the white wall backdrop, Harris used a vintage toy tactor and the bovine imagery of an Italian advertising poster as a nod to Midwestern roots.

“Just Garland,” a mixed media artwork by Ben Freeman from Evan Lurie Gallery pulls the Hollywood theme into the bedroom. Osborne and Little Butterfy Garden wallpaper and a pair of 1950s Grosfeld House side tables with Kartell Bourgie lamps accompany.
Working with his team of seasoned artisans, Wright transformed what he describes as a “somewhat suburban” looking apartment into the bright and airy loft it is now. Originally renovated in the 1990s, at a time when bright colors (especially orange) and soft furnishings were at their zenith of fashion, the condo has now become a haven of restful whites and natural wood tones. “Here, the walls are all white,” the designer explains. “I see the space as a palette on which we hang everything else. I try to be very deliberate about where everything is placed.” Against this neutral and airy backdrop, the designer has placed assertive splashes of color — a collage of Judy Garland 74 slmag.net
in the bedroom, an accent wall of foral wallpaper, or a pair of resonantly yellow chairs – to provide contrast, depth and points of focus for the eye. Te dining table is functional and elegant, yet the chairs, by Knoll Toledo are works of art. Part home, part gallery and part repository, the loft does not need to accommodate the usual requirements of daily life, and can therefore function almost as an installation (albeit a very habitable one) in its own right. Te builder sums up the designer’s approach. “Tere is a diference between decorating and design,” he says. “A home is very personal, and he gets inspired by that. You really respond to Matt’s placement of everything. Tese things are all here for a reason.”
Te wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brick veneer was added to provide symetry and balance to adjacent walls of existing brick; John Brosioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tornado painting provides dramtic efect. Te distressed dining table is set with classic Knoll Toledo outdoor chairs.

Charged with fnding a suitable downtown residence for his out-of-state client, Mike Johnson, F. C. Tucker real estate broker, sought out a property with history and personality, in contrast with so much of the new construction of the time. “When I represent a buyer, I always try to fnd a home, or in this case a condo, that has architectural features or a setting that separates it from everything else that’s on the market,” he explains. “Tis had the right bones. Virtually every inch of the condo was renovated. Rick gave Matt the freedom to create something special. Matt’s vision transformed the condo into a sophisticated urban loft.” With a reputation for a holistic and single-minded approach to his work, designer Harris was the ideal choice to take charge of the renovation project in the absence of the owner, whose business kept him on the West Coast for almost the entire duration of the project. “I had to put a lot of trust in Matt,” says Talley, who has known Harris since grade school. “But I had complete confdence
in him. Giving up control was interesting, but knowing him since school, and knowing his work, made it a lot easier. Te whole place is so diferent from where I grew up in Zionsville, the open space, the lightness, the height of the ceilings; it makes a huge impact the moment you walk in.” The subject of trust comes up frequently between Christopher and Matt as both designer and builder aim to transform the needs of the client, whether spoken or unspoken, into visceral, expressive creations. “I see a broad spectrum in the degree of (client) surrender,” Wright says, referring to people’s willingness to move projects into new or unfamiliar territory. “And, ultimately, if you are not happy with something, we will fx it.” Pushing boundaries provides fuel to the designer’s creative process. “Part of my job is to educate people,” Harris explains. “I don’t believe I am doing my job if I am not pushing people past their comfort zone. I take risks because I’m confdent that it will produce the right solutions.” sl slmag.net

Expanding Shapiro’s keeps Indy wanting more Written by Neil Charles Photography by Kelley Jordan
For over a century and across many generations, Shapiro’s Delicatessen has delighted diners with its generous portions and outstanding, freshly prepared (and often locally sourced) ingredients. As word of its fabulous food spread far and wide, this iconic Indianapolis eatery collected accolades from coast to coast. Now Indy’s favorite kosher-style deli has opened its doors on the far northeast side, lured to the Fashion Mall by a clientele that combines, in the words of owner Brian Shapiro, “sophistication and good taste.” Herb Simon, owner of the Indiana Pacers and chairman emeritus of the board of the Fashion Mall’s parent company, Simon Property Group, said in a recent email exchange that his best personal memories of Shapiro’s involve eating at the downtown location with his brother, Mel. Of the new shop, he notes: “It is always a good practice to have good, iconic, local restaurants. Since Shapiro’s has been around and well known for many years it was a good idea for both the Fashion Mall and Shapiro’s. Brian is very energetic. I think his recent move to the Fashion Mall put Shapiro’s in a good position for further expansion.”

The downtown eatery, which first opened in 1905, maintains its distinctive vibe at 808 S. Meridian St., the product of many expansions into neighboring spaces. By contrast, Shapiro’s Twisted Traditions occupies a sleek, well-lit space that opens directly onto the Fashion Mall’s food court. Bright and crisp, with a clean, contemporary look, the new store ofers a menu virtually identical to the original, but dispenses with the cafeteria line, employing instead counter service and a pager system. Schooled in the food business from a young age, Brian Shapiro worked at the restaurant during summers and holidays through college. Before taking the reins of the family-owned company in 1984, as he was attending law school, Shapiro worked 100-hour weeks while clerking and taking care of his restaurant duties. Today, he is regularly reminded of the depth of his family’s legacy: Te restaurant’s water bill still comes addressed to L Shapiro, his great grandfather, Shapiro’s founder Louis Shapiro. Tese connections to his roots have driven his diligence over the decades to maintain and improve upon the restaurant’s hard-earned reputation for freshness and favor. “I was drafted at an early age,” he explains. “Tey [his family] took me and molded me. Tey would take me down to the produce market early in the morning. Tat was my entire summer. I didn’t know any better.”

All in the interests of quality, beef brisket is raised on a big-boned breed of cattle in upstate New York. Turkey raised without hormones comes in with the pastrami truck from New York City. Rye bread, which used to be baked locally, is now delivered from Chicago, as are the justly celebrated egg buns. “We have relationships with some of our suppliers that go back over 100 years,” Shapiro says. “Quality is the key.” Romaine lettuce is cut in-house, potatoes are peeled and diced on the premises. Tese might appear to be trivial details, but in an industry where the vast majority of high-volume restaurants purchase much of their produce precut and washed, this approach gives Shapiro’s the edge in the freshness stakes. Gluten-free bread, a frequent award recipient, is baked in-house with rice four from acclaimed Chef Tomas Keller. It is a loss-maker for the business, but Shapiro feels that he owes it to his loyal customers to offer them the option. “We have to be fexible,” he says. “If we have the ingredients in house, we will make something for you; if you require a vegetarian dish, for instance.”

With a long and illustrious history, Shapiro’s is very much a generational business that needs to look to both the past and its future for its continuing success. Shapiro estimates that 20 percent of the customers at the Fashion Mall are regulars at the downtown location. “We are so lucky to have a lot of legacy customers who tell us their story, and who are a staple of our business,” says Sally Shapiro, Brian’s wife. “Your grandfather came here, you come here, your children will come here.” She is also well aware of how crucial it is to stay relevant; Shapiro’s robust social media presence shares the eatery’s offerings with an ever-widening audience. At the Fashion Mall, the challenge is to attract the younger urban professionals, and to keep them coming back. But traditional marketing methods are also utilized, especially when it comes to cultivating Shapiro’s catering accounts, which represent about 15 percent of the restaurant’s revenue. “Catering is a very diferent business,” Brian says. “You have to be face to face. Our success in catering is having someone who can go out and spend time talking with administrative assistants and ofce managers.” Discussing the machinations of one of the city’s most enduring and iconic businesses with one of its namesakes is a bit like taking a business lesson and a history lesson all rolled into one. A man who is clearly passionate about what he does, Shapiro is not one for bandwagon jumping. He has little time for the latest trends, adopting instead an almost ruthlessly pragmatic approach to maintaining the highest levels of quality while still, one can only assume, protecting the bottom line. The one thing we do not discuss — and this is very telling — is the menu itself. Tere is no need: With Shapiro’s history, ingredients and people, fantastic food is pretty well a given. “Food is a happy thing,” he says. “What makes a family strong is to be able to sit down together and eat and talk. It makes you feel good, and that is what we do.” Amen to that. sl Shapiro’s Twisted Traditions is located in the Fashion Mall at Keystone at the Crossing, 762.9900. Open Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. - 9:30 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. For more information, visit shapiros.com.
