FAU Athletics Rolls Out Paradise Pricing By Danny Wright

Owl fans are boarding the Lane Train and are ready for another highly anticipated football season. As if the excitement for what’s to come on the field isn’t enough, the team at FAU Athletics has announced “Paradise Pricing” at FAU Stadium for the upcoming season. If you attend sporting events on a regular basis, you’re no stranger to crazy high prices, for everything. That won’t be the case at FAU stadium. Domestic beer for $4, imports for $5, $2 hot dogs and $1 bottled waters & chips. Thank you!! As long as they can make sure the lines are manageable, then this should be a huge win, win for us all. Plus, if you are one of the first 1000 students to arrive at the game, you’ll get 2 free slices of pizza (with valid student ID, or course). Props to our friends at FAU for making this happen. Mark your calendar now for the first home game, September 8 vs. Air Force. For ticket info call 1-800-FAU-OWLS or visit fausports.com.

Delray Beach Launches Skip The Straw Initiative By Stephen Chrisanthus

Delray Beach takes a big gulp towards sustainability as it moves forward with the Skip the Straw Initiative. This initiative aims to either completely ban or force businesses to offer plastic drinking straws only upon request. The idea originated with the city’s sustainability officer Ana Puszkin-Chevlin, and the decision now sits with the city commission. Commissioner Ryan Boylston says, “They are going through the appropriate steps.” Some establishments have already embraced the initiative on their own and are offering a biodegradable alternative. They can be identified by a Skip the Straw Initiative decal in their front window. In the US alone, we use 500 million straws a day, so this is an important issue that needs to be addressed. Having long touted itself as an eco-friendly city, Delray continually looks for initiatives to become better. Encouraging alternative forms of transportation through bikes paths and electric powered golf cart services are already in place. Nestled next to pristine beaches packed with sea life, it’s only in the city’s best interest to keep up the good work and preserve this natural urban oasis. This initiative is a positive step towards protecting the environment and reaching total sustainability as a city. Will this inspire neighboring cities in Palm Beach County to follow suit? We certainly hope so. What will be next on Delray Beach’s quest for environmental protection… no plastic soda bottles and paper to-go cups? For more information visit https://www.mydelraybeach. com/transparency/Sustainability.php or contact Dr. Ana Puszkin-Chevlin at 561-243-7324.

The Plastic Problem and What We Can Do About It By Darien Davies Does anyone get the feeling like they are drowning in a sea of plastic? If not, take a look at your beach and you can almost guarantee that within a few feet you’ll spot some straws, cigarettes (that’s another issue!), plastic cups and more. While there are beach cleanup efforts organized by many local non-profits and do-gooders, that can only get us so far. We need to focus on actually stopping plastics before they make it into the beach and into our oceans. According to a recent study by the University of California, Santa Barbara industrial ecologist Roland Geyer, it was found that by 2015, humans had produced 6.3 billon tons of plastic waste. Of that, only 9 percent was recycled, and another 12 percent was incinerated and 79 percent accumulated in landfills or the natural environment. If this current trend continues, Geyer believes that roughly 12 billion metric tons of plastic waste, which will weigh more than 36,000 Empire State Buildings, will be in landfills or the natural environment by 2050.

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

Furthermore, less than a fifth of all plastic is recycled globally. The United States is the biggest culprit, with recycling just 9 percent of its plastic trash, China is next at 25 percent, and Europe is the best at 30 percent. Even more insane is that nearly half (44 percent) of all plastic ever manufactured has been made since 2000. This all means that we need to reduce, reuse and recycle, with the hard emphasis on “reduce.” Even if we stay consistent with our plastic use and recycle more, the majority of the plastic will still end up in our oceans, beaches and, basically, our back yards. If you’re not sure where to start, it’s easy: look into the cup holder in your car and take note of what you see. If it’s a plastic bottle or plastic cup, you’re guilty. So make a pledge to cut out plastics, and start with a few basic go-tos, which are straws, plastic cups, plastic bottles, and plastic bags.

PEACE OUT PLASTIC BOTTLES

ISSUE NO. 1: Plastic bottles

WHY?: 1 million plastic bottles are bought every minute in the world

SOLUTIONS: Invest in a reusable bottle! 18

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

According to the Guardian US, which is an independent news publication that covers and unearths local and global news, 1 million plastic bottles are bought every minute in the world, which equals to about 20,000 every second. If the trend continues, it will jump another 20 percent by 2021, which some campaigners predict will create an environmental crisis as serious as climate change. The report goes on to state that the amount of plastic produced in a year is roughly the same as the entire weight of humanity. And, to make matters even worse, these plastic bottles can be made out of 100 percent recyclable material, but the big wigs aren’t into it because of aesthetics and, more than likely, price. About 480 billion plastic bottles were purchased globally in 2016 but less than half gets recycled, meaning that most of this waste ends up in our oceans and landfills. And let’s not forget that there’s two parts to the bottle: the bottle itself and the lid. So with every one purchase or use, you’re adding two parts of plastic into our environment. The good news is that there’s plenty of options for hot and cold reusable beverage bottles, and more big businesses and airports are offering water filling stations. You can purchase a nalgene online for about $12 or a Yeti for about $30.

SUCK IT S T R AW S ISSUE NO. 2: Straws

WHY?: They’re. Literally. Everywhere.

SOLUTIONS: Stop using them. Stop offering them. Pretty simple. It’s widely known, thanks to a 9 year old boy from Vermont who was curious and asked around, that Americans use an estimated 500 million straws per day. More rigorous studies were done and it looks like that number is closer to 170 million to 390 million, but that figure is still staggering. If we do a little math, there are about 325 million people in the U.S., so this is easily about one straw per person per day. Then there’s the people who don’t use straws at all… Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s conservation coordinator, Katie O’Hara, gave us some insight into one of their recent campaigns, #StrawFreewithLMC this past Earth Day. They partnered with 42 local restaurants to refrain from offering plastic straws to patrons as a way to raise public awareness for specifically straws, but also single-use plastics. They estimate that in this one day, they helped to prevent 15,000 straws from potentially entering the marine environment (which is literally our entire environment, as we live on a peninsula) and posing a threat to sea turtles and other marine life.

In 2018 alone, Loggerhead Marinelife Center and partner organizations removed more than 2,600 straws from Florida beaches. Most of these straws end up on the beaches because people accidentally leave them there, people intentionally litter, or they blow out of overstuffed garbage cans.

Even though plastic straws are considered disposable, the plastic actually never “goes away” as it just keeps breaking down into millions and millions of smaller pieces. Because of this, studies show that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.

So, next time you’re out, either skip the straw, or invest in a reusable straw. You can get a set of 10 reusable, stainless steel, non-toxic straws off of Amazon for $11, so you can be the cool kid at the table and share the straw love with your friends. TH EATLANTICCU R R E NT.COM

THE OCEAN ISSUE

DO YOU REALLY N E E D T H AT B A G ? ISSUE NO. 3: Plastic bags

WHY?: These bags cannot be recycled in your at-home bins

SOLUTIONS: Pay attention.

The first and best solution is to significantly cut down (or eliminate, if you can) your need for single-use plastic bags. The rule of thumb is that if you’re going to use the item for 30 minutes or less, you can find a better alternative. According to the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County’s website, plastic bags cannot be recycled in your blue or yellow recycling bins. In fact, bags that make it in the bins can damage the SWA’s recycling equipment and waste our taxpayer dollars. While plastic bags do not go in either your yellow or blue recycling bin, many local grocery stores accept them for recycling. In fact, this goes the same for all soft plastics. Not sure what a soft plastic is? Pretty much everything: soil and mulch bags, grocery type plastic bags, plastic overwrap packaging (around your bottles of water in bulk - shame on you!), plastic wrap and wrappers, salt and water softener plastic bags, and stretchable plastic bags. Instead, these plastic items are recycled into new bags and other products such as plastic lumber for decks, park benches, picnic tables and waste containers. You can also download the Recycle Coach App, which will help to remind you when to put out which recycling, and can answer your questions about if an item is recyclable. The goal of this program is to help you spend less time recycling more. Just visit solutions.recyclecoach.com for more information. Also, instead of using plastic bags at the grocery store, take a couple dollars and invest in one that you can reuse every time you go. Not only that, but it’s a great bag to carry your reusable water bottle in when you go to the beach, wink. Overall, we need to focus our attention on our plastic usage so our children and grandchildren don’t end up living in a sea of plastic. If you focus on just these three single-use plastic items and conquer their use, or lack of, then there’s a good chance you’ll be able to focus one other single-use items to help our environment as well. The planet believes in you!

TOXIC ALGAE

A Complex Problem With No Simple Solution

By Cash Lambert

heartbreaking video changed everything for me. Perhaps you’ve seen it — a clip of a baby manatee clinging to its lifeless, upside down mother near a dock recently in a Florida river. The baby seemed to be mourning the loss, refusing to let go. It surfaced, placing its head on the mother’s body, disappeared under water, and repeated the action. The video didn’t just have an effect on me — hundreds of video comments were emotional and irate, all upset at the reason why the mother manatee was dead — toxic algae. Dubbed an environmental disaster, toxic algae has been and continues to kill sea life. It’s not just manatees that are dying. From the east coast to Lake Okeechobee to the west coast, Florida’s rivers and beaches are littered with corpses: dead loggerhead turtles, fish, dolphins, even a whale shark. But that’s not all. In the process, it has hurt businesses and keeps tourists away from Florida’s beckoning waters. It can have an effect on humans, too: the algae is composed of cyanobacteria, which produce microcystins. For humans, some scientists claim exposure can lead to gastrointestinal issues, and long-term exposure can increase the risks for liver cancer as well as neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s. And all of this, like most environmental disasters, is man made.

How We Reached this Point

A Complex Solution

Historically speaking, the Everglades used to be far bigger than it is today. In fact, it stretched from Orlando all the way south to the Keys. Water, coming from the Kissimmee River, would fill Lake Okeechobee and then flow south, feeding the Everglades and its abundant wildlife.

Like most environmental issues that involve politics, a solution is complex. Four things are needed for change: science, money, land and politicians who support science backed initiatives. Some of this is already in play. In this section, we will give a glimpse into the complexity of this issue with the hope you will continue to educate yourself as new facts arise.

But humans intervened, altering the flows over time in the form of dams and development. Agriculture soon took over huge swaths of land, and with the industry comes pollution, which is known to reach toxic levels. Today, water from Lake Okeechobee can’t flow south, because the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) — a majority of which is owned by subsidized sugar companies — is where the Everglades used to begin. According to the Everglades Trust, the Everglades relies on less than half of the water it once did. That means that, with time, it will run dry, ending much wildlife in the process. Water from Lake Okeechobee is deemed to be too polluted to be sent to the Everglades. When water levels get too high, it’s released in two ways: down the St. Lucie River — which empties into the Atlantic — and the Caloosahatchee River — which empties into the Gulf. Every time this release happens, a slow death sweeps the canals and turns the ocean and Gulf from an inviting blue to a disgusting brown.

In 1996, Florida passed an amendment — called “Make the Polluter Pay” — which states that those in the EAA who cause water pollution shall be “primarily responsible for paying the costs of the abatement of that pollution.” The Supreme Court deemed this as “not self-executing and required implementing legislation.” To date, the Legislature has not adopted statutes implementing the “polluter pays” provision. In 2000, The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) was signed, which agreed to complete 68 projects aimed at restoration by 2030. The EAA Reservoir being a critical project within this plan. More recently, SB10 was introduced into the Florida State Senate in January 2017, which also calls for the creation of a reservoir south of Lake Okeechobee, in the EAA. It was approved by the White House’s Office of Management and Budget in July. If

THE OCEAN ISSUE

How to get Involved the construction of the reservoir proceeds just as the Bill says, freshwater will indeed be able to flow south instead of being directed to the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee rivers. This new flow hopes to alleviate the toxic algae blooms and be a step in the right direction. This has massive support amongst movements like Now or Neverglades, whose most recent declaration has received nearly 80,000 signatures at the time of this article. This Bill would authorize “the South Florida Water Management District and the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund to negotiate the amendment and termination of leases on lands within the Everglades Agricultural Area for exchange or use for the reservoir project.” What course of action they choose to take is another story. It should be noted that the South Florida Water Management District board members are appointed by the state Governor. U.S. Sugar previously agreed to sell land to the State of Florida in 2010. The execution of this agreement in its entirety however, has been slow. This agreement remains in effect until October 11, 2020. Why have’t our governor and the districts decided to purchase the land? Many point to political contributions by Big Sugar, but we will let you make that determination. It is also a fear amongst proponents to the reservoir that if we do not act fast, that land will be developed, rather than preserved for this project. As you can see, the issue is far more complicated than many of us think. According to the Everglades Trust, “foot-dragging” by the sugar industry is to blame, and they are pushing back on what they’ve already agreed to. Many also blame politicians who are against buying the EAA land back to be used for Everglades Restoration. And time isn’t what we have an abundance of. Month after month, year after year, sea life dies. In addition real estate, tourism, human health and our water supply are put into jeopardy.

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

Besides pinning our hopes on SB10 being a step in the right direction, there are also a handful of other ways to get involved. Grassroots efforts are in play for the state to buy back the land from sugar companies. There have been boycotts of sugar productions, and petitions have been signed. All we would ask is to research petitions thoroughly before signing. Another form of activism is to continue to post on social media how the toxic algae is having an effect on you and your community. Though many are hopeful that help is on the way in the form of SB10, continued activism is needed to help facilitate this change. It’s my hope that these two forces — legislation and activism — will unite to bring about change. And I hope that the baby manatee that went viral will live long enough to see this change in its lifetime.

Note From The Editor

1. BECOME EDUCATED ON THE SCIENCE. 2. BE VOCAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 3. GO VOTE! We encourage our readers to get educated on the science behind the proposed solutions to this issue. There is a lot of misinformation, especially with the upcoming elections. Do not pay attention to the political advertisements and do your own research. We are in no way stating that there is any easy fix or a single politician who will make it happen. You will see the same politicians who have allowed this problem to persist spend advertising dollars campaigning on how they are going to fix it. It is clear that this situation has not been handled correctly and those appointed to oversee this issue amongst certain districts have not helped move us towards a solution. It is important that our next Governor takes this seriously and appoints the right people who are in agreement on the science behind the next steps.

is like trying to cure a disease that’s never been cured before. Add political and corporate interests and we have a situation that is much more complicated than what’s on the surface. It should get your attention when a politician in our state sides with Big Sugar or leans toward a solution that would benefit Big Sugar. We should all be pushing towards a solution backed by science, not by political interests. Once you are educated on the proposed solutions, we encourage you to go vote for the candidates who are most in line with that science, who will make this situation a priority. Water is the lifeblood of our state, and we all need to take this seriously.

This is why the science should be the first thing that’s looked at before deciding which candidate to support. The current situation

ODD BREED WILD ALES PRODUCING HIGHLY TECHNICAL BEERS FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE CLIMATE BY MIKE JUREWICZ

hen thoughts of South Florida and adult beverages are mentioned, beer is not typically the first thing that comes to mind for most. Fruity, bright colored cocktails with little umbrellas and tons of garnishes tend to fit the stereotype. When one does think of beer they are probably conjuring thoughts of that Mexican lager in the clear bottle with a lime jammed into it’s opening. Why wouldn’t you think of that? The commercials have told you to do so, especially on a sandy white beach. Craft breweries from Palm Beach County all the way down to Key West have tried to create their own light, easy drinking option for the hard bodies of South Beach, the weekend warriors out on the intracoastal and the every man alike. Some work, some don’t but they all have a similar idea, produce something close to perfect for this weather, as it’s summer all year long with near 90 degree temperatures being the norm. When trying to grasp those drinkers in need of a thirst quencher, brewers tend to lean towards the lager or lighter ale styles. Pilsners, blonde ales, wits, hefeweizens are a go-to. These do make sense, they tick all the boxes for refreshment in malted beverage form, but one brewer is taking a different route to that perfect South Florida beer.

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

Matt Manthe has been brewing beer professionally for a little over a decade and decided to carve out a name for himself with something not seen too often in the Sunshine State, wild ales. A Wild Ale generally refers to beers brewed using yeast or bacteria. These elements can be introduced in a variety of ways, but no matter what, the process is extremely technical. It’s this style of beers that Matt has developed a passion for and believes is the perfect Florida beverage. “I think a dry, effervescent, and tart wild ale is the most refreshing type of beer, and is the perfect beer for the hot and humid Florida climate.” he claims. Matt’s love for the wild yeast, bacteria and what most brewers would fear around their liquid led him to opening Odd Breed Wild Ales with friend Daniel Naumko in late 2017. Matt’s brewing career started at Thomas Creek Brewing in Greenville, South Carolina after obtaining his Bachelors of Science in Microbiology at Clemson University. He was eventually promoted to Head Brewer and oversaw all aspects of production alongside Brewmaster and Owner, Tom Davis. After his two and a half years there, he decided to further his knowledge and education of the art of brewing by attending VLB Berlin (Versuchs- und Lehranstalt für Brauerei in Berlin) in one of the homes of beer, Germany. There Matt obtained his Brewmaster certification studying not only brewing but everything related to raw ingredients in the brewing industry such as barley, hops and yeast.>>

The 6 month intensive course is considered one of the best in the entire world of brewing. Eventually Matt found his way to South Florida where he became the Brewmaster of the now defunct Brewzzi, a brewpub in Boca Raton. Here along with brewing their core house beers Matt was able to begin experimenting with the wilder side of brewing. It became common place to see wild ales and saisons on tap alongside Brewzzi’s everyday City Fest, Black Duke Lager and Boca Blonde Lager. It was here in Boca that Matt met his eventual business partner. Daniel Naumko was operating the Sybarite Pig, a craft beer bar and gastropub smack dab in the middle of West Boca’s circus of chain restaurants in strip malls. Funny enough, Daniel also

attended VLB to take a concise course in craft Micro Brewing, making Odd Breed one of the only, if not the only, brewery in the country in which both brewery owners attended VLB. Daniel, of course, had a curated beer list including local, US craft and many specialty imported beers. Coupled along with a food menu that was built around local and seasonal ingredients quickly made the spot a must hit for those west of the Turnpike. The pair eventually found a location housed inside a small space in a part of Pompano Beach seeing a major face lift. Odd Breed’s exterior might look a bit different for those that are used to visiting other members of the South Florida brewery scene, but then again, what goes on inside is what’s even more different. The amount of wood outnumbers the amount of stainless very comfortably as every beer produced is fermented and aged in barrels ranging >>

BEER from neutral French oak to previously used wine and spirits barrels. But one big thing does stand out, there is no brewhouse.

“I would like to have our own brewhouse in the future but for right now the system we have in place works.” Matt adds.

For now, Matt creates nearly all his wort at Barrel of Monks Brewing in Boca Raton. He purchases his own ingredients and brews the beers himself, working with Barrel of Monks head brewer, Kevin Squires, to plan out openings in their schedule. A stainless steel holding vessel on a trailer is filled with the wort and transferred-carefully and slowly--back to the home base. Here the wort is moved into barrels for fermentation and everything is handled behind Odd Breed’s walls from that point forward. Every Odd Breed beer is then fermented in the aforementioned barrels or puncheons.

In addition to the laborious act of getting the wort to its home to ferment, the fermentation and conditioning time needed to create such beers exceeds that of your typical brewed beers. While most produced ales can see a turnaround in 2-3 weeks the same can’t be said for Matt’s wild ales. There is no set amount of time that it takes for Odd Breed’s house yeast strain and other bacteria to create the flavors and aromas that Matt wants in his creations. With beer production times ranging from six months to two years or even more, it is safe to say that it’s ready when it’s done. This requires testing the barrels regularly as differences in the same batch can be quite great just from barrel to barrel.

This very labor intensive situation of brewing elsewhere and transporting may not seem ideal to most when you consider the extra cost of gas for the truck that hauls the trailer along with the time it takes to transport. A full tank on a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck is not a fast process. This causes Matt to take back streets as opposed to a highway — sometimes doubling his commute time. Despite all this it is a relationship that works for Odd Breed and shows a major labor of love.

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

When enjoying a wild ale from Odd Breed, it’s important to take into account the literal microbiology that goes into play. That alongside the sheer amount of time and effort that goes into a single batch, and you are sure to appreciate each sip that much more. 50 NE 1st St, Pompano Beach @oddbreedwildales

POKE IT TO ME: FOUR POKE SPOTS YOU NEED TO TRY NOW BY DARIEN DAVIES

Let’s be honest: it’s too hot to cook.

It’s pure insanity to even think about turning on the oven or grill when it’s pushing 90-plus degrees outside. The good news is, you don’t have to. Thankfully poke bowls have become a household name, and there’s a few primo aroundthe-corner locations where you can get your fish fix. So get your chopsticks ready and enjoy a meal without the meat sweats.

@ATLANTICCU @ATLANTICCURRRREENT NT

SPOT: THE POKE COMPANY

Location: 555 N. Federal Highway #13, Boca Raton, FL 33432 Why: If you like options, this poke palace is for you. The entire menu is at your fingertips because you get to build your own poke bowl to your exact desires. It’s simple: pick a size, build your base (you can mix and match), pack on the protein, salivate, eat, repeat. The options are endless so plan to become a frequent poke person so you can try all the combinations. Maybe pair brown rice with spicy tuna, cucumber, sweet onion, edamame, The Company Sauce, scallions, tempura flakes, pickled ginger, avocado, seaweed salad and the kitchen sink. Well, scratch the last item, but you get the gist. If you don’t feel like building your own bowl, order one of their signature offerings. The Heavy Squall is made with ahi tuna and salmon, edamame, Hijiki seaweed, The Company Sauce, scallions and sesame seeds. Or, if you want to ditch the fish, enjoy The Veggie Move, which is made with tofu, avocado, edamame, cucumber, The Company Sauce, scallions, sesame seeds and pickled ginger. Regardless of what you order, they promise that it’s fast, fresh and Hawaiian, so surfs up and chopsticks up. Price: $8.95 to $14.95, and extras starts at $1 each. @eatthepokecompany

SPOT: PIPELINE POKE CO.

Location: 310 S. Dixie Highway, Suite 300, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Why: Pipeline Poke Co. was born from a passion for seafood and a dream to serve real, fresh, quality Hawaiian cuisine to the WPB community. Their seafood is sustainably farmed with no hormones, antibiotics or chemicals, and you’ll be able to notice the quality when you watch them make your bowl right in front of you. If you prefer to have them do the hard work for you (deciding), order one of their five signature bowls, such as the Banzai Bowl, which is made with ahi tuna, green and sweet onion, sesame, avocado, classic shoyu sauce, furikake seasoning and white rice. Or, for a little sweet heat, enjoy the Kohala Volcano Bowl and dig in to ahi tuna, green and sweet onion, jalapeno, sesame seeds, wasabi peas, lava sauce, sushi rice and tobiko. If you want to take your chance at creating the perfect combo, you and your stomach are more than invited. Proteins include not only the typical tuna and salmon, but you can also order escolar (white tuna) and poached shrimp, or grilled chicken or tofu if you’re not feeling fishy. Pair this with rice, quinoa, mixed baby greens or kohlrabi noodles and you’re well on your way to Flavor Town. Mix-ins include watermelon radish, pickled ginger, kimchi, carrot, mango, and more, and their unique sauces, which include cilantro lime crème, orange ginger, lava sauce, Pipeline house sauce, elevate it to amazing levels. Top it off with some shredded coconut, wonton strips or chili flakes, and you’re all ready to enjoy one fat bowl of fun. Price: Signature bowls range from $8.95 to $15.95, but you can build your own bowl starting at $8.95 @pipelinepokeco

SPOT: POINT BREAK POKE HOUSE

Location: 666 N. Federal Highway, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33304 Why: They serve up options on options on options (and beer), so there’s a myriad of poke-bilities. The bowls are inspired from famous surf beaches around the globe, so there’s a nice mix of flavors and ingredients that totally transport your palate to some faraway island of deliciousness. If you’re feeling a little West Coast, order the Venice Beach Cali bowl, made with salmon marinated in their sesame blend, white rice, salsa verde, avocado, Serrano chile, baby heirloom tomato, scallions, pickled ginger, seaweed salad, crispy lotus, cucumber, red onion and masago. Or, if you want to island hop, enjoy the Sunset Beach Hawaii bowl with tuna marinated in their sesame oil/sesame soy blend, white rice, red radish, Serrano chile, red onion, avocado, scallions, sesame seeds, pickled ginger and seaweed nori. If you’re feeling like going rogue and making your own bowl, get ready to be delightfully overwhelmed because there’s a laundry list of available menu items. If you dare, you can pick your base (rice, kale, black forbidden rice, etc.), protein (tuna, shrimp, salmon, etc.), the marinade (kimchi sauce, eel sauce, aji amarillo emulsion, etc.), toppings (purple cabbage, fresno peppers, seaweed, spiced salsa fresca, etc.), crispy options (lotus, rice pearls, wasabi peas, etc.), and toppings (garlic yuzu, chipotle mayo, sesame soy, etc.). Challenge accepted. Price: Bowls range from $11.95 to $15.95, and add-ons start at $.50 @thepokehouse

SPOT: POKE LAB EATERY

Location: 1401 Clare Ave., West Palm Beach, FL 33401 in Grandview Public Market Why: You’re able to watch your meal being made two feet from your drooling face, so you know the ingredients must be ultra fresh. The menu is limited but packs serious flavor, and you even have the option between enjoying a rice bowl or a pokeritto (poke burrito). If you want the tried-and-true poke experience, sink your teeth into The O.G., which is ahi tuna, green and sweet onion, seaweed salad, cucumber, sesame seeds, furikake and yuke sauce. For something a little feisty, order the Tropic Thunder, where yellowtail, mango, pineapple, cilantro, red onion, furikake, fried shallots and yuke sauce combine to make one fantastic flavor profile. If you want to go off the poke deep end, the Poke Fire Pokerrito is screaming your name. It’s made with ahi tuna, jalapenos, cilantro, avocado, fried shallots, chili flakes, sesame oil, spicy aioli and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and will give you a delicious kick in the mouth. Whatever your poke pleasure, order a delicious bowl, grab a seat outside in the shade, and enjoy all that is good in life, one bite at a time. Price: Menu items range from $13 to $14, and you can create your own bowl for $12 or $15. @pokelabeatery

So poke hard my little fish lovers, and enjoy what summer tastes like one bowl at a time. 36

ELIZABETH AVE STATION REVOLUTIONIZING WEST PALM’S MUSIC AND RETAIL EXPERIENCE BY DAVID ROLLAND

hen Danni Zelaya moved back to her home town of West Palm after years of art school in New York City, she found herself feeling a little down. “I was excited to be back with my family and my then boyfriend, now husband, but I was nervous about the lack of opportunity here. My first year back was hard.” She did freelancing graphic design work and started teaching the subject at Palm Beach State College when she realized her contact list was filling up with talented locals. After opening her own graphic design studio, Gather & Seek, Danni had an interesting conversation with one of the studio’s clients, The Warehouse District. “They asked if I knew anyone in retail who wanted to take over one of their warehouses. I started thinking about it and I thought we could put a spin on retail with that business being completely different than it was even a decade ago. We could do something that creates opportunities for people in West Palm, so they don’t feel like they need to move to bigger cities. From working with us (The Warehouse District) knew we were creative, so they offered us the space.”

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

Inspired by her days in Brooklyn and her day trips south to Wynwood, she wrote in the Elizabeth Ave Station mission statement, “We aim to provide a marketplace for those who prefer quality and intention, a gathering center for those who enjoy mingling with the like-minded and a home for artists, makers, creators and dreamers.” After months of preparation that space opened in January 2017 with 15 curated vendors. Now she can laugh about those early days. “We didn’t have air conditioning when we started, so that took a serious commitment from the original 15.” The one constant over the year and a half for Elizabeth Ave Station has been change. “We don’t stay with what we have for too long. We’re always evolving. I always have ten ideas in my head and want to do them all. Knowing how to pick and choose and having patience with when to put forward the new ideas is tough for me. But the city has appreciated that we’re always trying to do new things.” >>

MUSIC The most recent pivot has been toward expanding their live music offerings. Every other Thursday they have an open mic night open to all comers with any acoustic instrument. “It started with my sister and husband’s alternative band Dolly and The Boys. But in the last year it has really expanded into a scene where everyone loves each other. There’s some really great local musicians who come out like Matt Brown, Des, and American Sigh.” Danni has been meeting with local musicians and other movers and shakers in the West Palm music scene trying to figure out how to fit in and help West Palm’s musical options grow. “We want to get bigger bands to come play West Palm and we want to figure out how to get local bands paid more to play here.”

It doesn’t hurt the space’s musical reputation that one of their most popular retailers is Rust and Wax. “They’re a record store who started out with two bins and have expanded to eight bins of the best curation of records. They know what’s good.” Rust and Wax, like other potential retailers, had to pass a vetting during the application process. “We try to give everyone an opportunity, but we need to make sure the products sold here are good.” Beyond the retail and music, Elizabeth Avenue Station has striven to be all things to all people. They have a yoga class on Thursdays, one monthly night focused on comedy and another on opera, plus the once a month party where a $10 cover charge earns you unlimited craft beer and wine. With all the action at Elizabeth Ave Station, it’s safe to say, its founder no longer has the time or need to pine for New York.

Q&A

ALEX

S OR G E NTE

What was it like growing up in Lake Worth? It was pretty chill, kind of a beach vibe not a whole lot going on so everyone knows everyone. Its super-hot and humid in the summer so we never wanted to leave the house but we always ended up at the beach. There aren’t too many parks out there but we made the best out of it. We would surf a lot in the winter because that’s the only time that there were any waves. Overall though it was a good place to grow up and raise a family at. How did you first start skating? My dad was a Pro Jet Ski Rider, and we were at his mechanics house one day working on the jet skis. His son had a ramp and a board in the driveway and I thought I would test it out. I stepped on the board, went up the ramp slipped out and slammed. I was hooked on it ever since that moment. With the skate industry and big time sponsorship dollars outside of Florida, when did you realize you had to leave your hometown in order to pursue professional skating? I just moved to California like 2 years ago. I started riding for Red Bull in 2013 or 2014 and I was already traveling to Brazil, Australia, and all over Europe for contest before hand. What was your first “big break” in the industry?

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

I had won the Am Pro Tec Pool Party and then people started to take me more seriously. It was crazy because it was the first year they had an am contest in the Pool Party. How much does it help having other Florida boys like Jamie Foy and Zion Wright on the Red Bull team? It’s pretty crazy, as soon as they got on everything started to really blow up for us. We all have a place together in LA too and we all really push each other to go further. Why do you think this many South Florida skaters have made it pro in such a short time frame? I guess we are just super hungry, all the skating is on the west coast so we have to work harder to get onto the scene. We are all dreamers so we all put our head down and just learn everything we need to learn. When’s the last time you were back home? I went back after the Park Series In Sao Paolo. What’s your favorite travel destination outside the U.S.? Sydney Australia or Florianopolis Brazil

When you’re back in town, what’s on your to-do list?

Who is someone you’ve always wanted to skate with?

I do a lot of skating when I’m back home. I grew up riding dirt bikes with my dad so we do that a bunch. Everyone in Florida is always at the beach so I surf, catch up with friends and eat some good seafood.

That’s hard because I’ve skated with so many people I’ve wanted to skate with already. Just in the past year I got to skate with Reynolds, Gonz, Hosoi, and Cab. But I still want to skate with Mark “Gator” Rogowski but he’s in jail so I don’t see that happening.

Who was a skate idol of yours when you were growing up? Mike Rogers. He taught me how to skate and he’s from Lake Worth too. He really brought me under his wing. What’s your favorite Red Bull flavor? Hard decision between orange and yellow If you weren’t a pro skater, what would you be doing? I really love surfing and motocross. I don’t know if I’d be pro but I’d like to work in the industry. I know a lot about all of them so I think it would be interesting. What’s your favorite post-skate meal?

Do you have a desire to go on Thrasher’s King of The Road one of these years? Yeah that would be sick! I’m down to do all that stuff. I’m working on a new part too. I’d really love to be a part of it all. As you get older, how has your mindset towards skating changed? Every time I get older I try to critique myself more and more with my style. What has been your biggest accomplishment in the sport thus far?

Big ass Cali burrito from Cilantro’s

Park Series World Champion in 2016 and back to back X Games Gold medals.

What’s the best piece of advice you can give to young skaters looking to turn pro?

Winning back to back X-Games Skateboard Park gold medals was huge. What’s next on the list of goals?

You gotta be super humble and you’ve gotta rip and prove yourself. It’s so important to have a good attitude.

Next goal would have to be Park Series Champion in China.
