A Laugh a Minute Get ready for some midsummer yuks because it’s time for the Nantucket Comedy Festival. The Dreamland will play host to this festival’s 11th annual shenanigans. “We have such a wealth of comedy talent joining us for the Festival,” says Kevin Flynn, Executive Director of the Nantucket Comedy Festival and Stand Up & Learn™. “Every year we bring the best comics in the country out to Nantucket, and this year is certainly no exception.”

An all-star lineup including Nantucket native Brian Glowacki, Steven Wright, Nancy Witter, Don Gavin, 2-time Grammy Award nominee Ron “Tater Salad” White, plus many more will perform this week. Patron Passes and Tickets may be purchased online at nantucketcomedyfestival.org. “Ron White is truly one of the power hitters of the comedy world”, says Flynn. “We are thrilled to have him join us this year.”

The Nantucket Comedy Festival, a non-profit organization, uses comedy to empower, engage, and inspire through its annual festival and the yearround Stand Up & Learn™ workshops for students. This festival is the premier fundraiser for the island-based educational program that teaches kids self-confidence, creative writing, team building, and communication skills that they will use throughout their school years and into adulthood.

This year’s festival started July 11 with a “Laugh Your Ack Off” Comedy Showcase of local talent. “Ladies Who Lunch and Laugh,” back by popular demand, will cater an afternoon of hilarious comedy entertainment along with lunch and cocktails on Thursday, July 12 before the ever-popular Ladies Night Comedy Show. Friday, July 13 brings an afternoon tribute to America’s Funniest Home Videos, followed by Friday Night Lights show starring comedy legends Ron White and Steven Wright.

A live on-stage taping of the hilarious Opie Radio Podcast is open to the public free of charge in the Dreamland Theatre on Saturday at 5 pm. The festival’s finale is the annual Comedy SmACKdown: Boston vs. New York.

Emmy Award-winning sports reporter Bob Ley will play umpire and the audience decides the winner.

Founded in 2007, this comedy festival is one of the country’s most successful thanks to the generous support of comedians, all of whom donate their time to make this event possible. NantucketComedyFestival.org

Something for Every Age at Shipwreck Museum Egan Maritime’s Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum has launched children’s programs at the Museum this summer for children ages six to ten. Every Wednesday through August 15, the Museum will offer a two hour educational program for children. A specialized age-appropriate tour will be included along with other select activities. Children will play fun outside maritime games, make an instrument, and sing along to sea shanties, enjoy painting maritime scenes with watercolors and learn printmaking with local artist David Lazarus, learn the art of knot tying with Harbormaster Sheila Lucey, and more maritime fun. The cost is $25 per child per session, and the topics by week are as follows: July 18 - Printmaking Workshop: Learn about the traditional art of printmaking and make maritime prints with local artist David Lazarus. Lesson and supplies included.

July 25 - Knot-Tying: Watch Harbormaster Sheila Lucey demonstrate the fine art of knot tying and then participate in a knot tying craft.

August 1 - Shipwreck Stories: A tour about shipwrecks around Nantucket and how the people on the ships were saved. Be a captain on board a merchant ship and watch for shoals. View two films – You Have To Go Out, which tells of the wreck of the H.P. Kirkham off the Rose & Crown shoal in 1892 and Marshall: A Nantucket Sea Dog, the story of a Newfoundland rescued from the W.F. Marshall in 1877, followed by maritime songs and the making of an instrument.

Meet Elizabeth Waggett at Samuel Owen Gallery The works of British artist Elizabeth Waggett are highly sought after and have been exhibited internationally at solo shows in NYC, L.A, Abu Dhabi, and Manchester. Waggett has exhibited her drawings and editions around the world, in art fairs in Basel, Miami, New York, London, Hong Kong, Zurich, Brussels, Houston, and Paris. She has also been commissioned for the second time by HRH The Prince of Wales in collaboration of the Prince's Trust, 50th anniversary.

Samuel Owen Gallery is thrilled to announce an opening reception where you can meet artist Elizabeth Waggett and view her unique works and prints this Friday, July 13 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at 46 Centre Street, in the heart of downtown Nantucket.

Eminently modern and free-spirited, Elizabeth's artwork focuses on the confusion of today's modern society. She challenges the viewer to confront the relationship between humanity’s preconceived notions of value and worth, in our consumable world. The Gold Standard, which has been used for centuries, is a perfect representation of humanity’s obsession with vain and valueless beauty.

Using time honored skills in a contemporary way, Elizabeth brings a modern twist to traditional forms through her work. Her social commentary, seeks to illuminate the arbitrary value we place on useless and culturally devoid items, while simultaneously devaluing those things with innate value. She pokes fun at man’s obsessive quest to obtain more and more while we are living, ignoring the purpose of our lives. From this Elizabeth questions the arbitrary prioritization of Earth’s most precious assets, questioning the relationships, behaviors and patterns of humanity. Many of us remain divorced

ISLAND PAIRINGS

Local Libations

by Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie Summertime is the perfect season to benefit from the bounty of the earth the far away isle of Nantucket has to offer. We have access to fresh eggs, succulent strawberries, delicious sweet corn, and all the heirloom tomatoes you can eat, along with a plethora of fragrant, colorful flowers to adorn any Nantucket home. Sustainable Nantucket is a local organization that aims to cultivate a healthy community by building a more locally-based and self-reliant food system on-island, and to build a healthy economy around this. On Saturday mornings during the summer season, you can visit their Farmer and Artisans Market downtown, which is designed to support and strengthen our traditional industry of agriculture. Vendors include growers, artisans, and prepared food purveyors, and are seasonal or year round residents of Nantucket, with all goods sold grown or produced on the island.

What a great way to stock up on local herbs and produce to use in making some delicious seasonal summertime libations for your next garden party!

Whether muddled, infused, or simply snipped for a delicate garnish, fresh herbs make a wonderful addition to summer cocktails. Here are a few recipes containing local ingredients that are simple to prepare with no artificial additives and make you feel healthy as you imbibe them.

YOUR GARDEN-FRESH INGREDIENTS Your backyard garden is in full bloom and you have more cucumbers than you know what to do with. The LILLET-BASIL COCKTAIL is a creative way to use those cukes, along with some freshly picked basil from the pots on your porch. Lillet Blanc, a white wine-based aperitif that hails from the Bordeaux region of France, is a brilliant cocktail ingredient simply with a splash of soda or as a mixer for any type of citrus-based drink. In this easy-to-make refresher, delicate citrus flavors are played up well against the contrast with its continued on page 26

RESERVATIONS & INFO:

508-257-6557

Lily Pulitzer came in the front door, skipped ahead of both the order and the pick up line, and demanded her sandwiches. She explained. “I have an Uber.”

“And she knows how to use it.” A plumber explained. There was laughter (for most) and confusion (for one).

Regrettably, she had to wait.

Somewhere in this great land, a delicatessen must exist where the Lady of the Manor can demand service, ignore the line, stride up to the counter, receive an order humbly assembled, and then depart in a cloud of nobility and loose change. I have always considered Nantucket a bubble, but for some, the island must be a safari among the unwashed and Uber-less.

Still, I get it. Nobody rents a house for ten thousand a week in order to circle the Stop and Shop lot looking for parking. We advertise the beaches, we don’t advertise the size of the crowds. The Chamber of Commerce doesn’t put the line outside the Juice Bar on any magazines or calendars. Summer has meant mobs, and the more building the island puts up in the winter means the larger the crowd in the summer. Most of the roads, infrastructure, and stores on Nantucket were built for a population one-third of the one that has wet swim trunks hanging off the lawn furniture. And that population wants a sandwich around 12:30 in the afternoon.

If you spend too much time on island, you forget why people wait in lines.

The visitors are not stupid. They understand that standing in line, playing Words With Friends on their phone is a waste of time and an annoyance.

However, they have a different sense of time than I do. They have a short window of time to hit their favorite spots. I can wait for the week to end, for July to end, and for the summer to end, and they can’t. They have a boat to catch in a day. If you could only have a Watermelon Cream once a year, wouldn’t you wait in line for it?

Our visitors live in a world where the Whole Foods will open up another register when the check-out line gets longer than three carts. They can order a “Grande, Iced, Sugar-Free Vanilla Latte, with Soy Milk” on the app and pickcontinued on page 16

Endangered Cactus Native to Nantucket

by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation Nature on Nantucket conjures up images of rolling moors and beach grass.

Some may think about the wet forests of Squam Swamp or the sandplain grasslands along the south coast. How about cacti?

The heavy fog of the Gray Lady does not bring to mind succulents and spiny cacti. And yet, Nantucket is home to the only cactus native to Massachusetts.

The eastern prickly pear cactus (Opuntia humifusa) is New England's only native cactus. On Nantucket, the Prickly Pear is most common on Coatue and Great Point. You can find it in among the dunes and swales (and poison ivy!).

Our prickly-pear is easily identifiable as the only thing resembling a cactus on Nantucket. It spreads along the ground and grows only about two feet high.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flat, fleshy pads (which are actually stems) are glossy green and ovate measuring up to six by four inches. The areolas (areas where spines are attached) have minute, barbed, deciduous spines that are arranged in diagonal patterns on the pads. The spines may be small, but they are barbed and can imbed easily, and annoyingly, into your skin and clothing.

Prickly Pear Cactus can be observed any time of year, though it is easiest to find in summer when the showy yellow flowers are present. In 1912, Winthrop Packard put it best when he wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In April the prickly pear is as ugly as sin to the eye, with its lobster-claw growth, uglier still to the hand with its steel-pointed thorns, but later it will put forth wonderful yellow, wildroselike blooms in rich profusion, making up for all its dourness.â&#x20AC;?

The buttery yellow blossoms can be seen in abundance when flowering right at this time of year. The large flowers seem so exotic when discovered unexpectedly on your own and must be seen to be believed.

ISLAND COOKING

Treats in Shells

by Maryjane Mojer Bartlett’s Ocean View Farm I was not quite born in the Dark Ages, but was born before ultrasounds and knowing the gender of your child was the norm. Either maternal intuition or a needle on the end of a thread swinging side to side during the baby shower, convinced my parents that I, their third child, was a boy. Once I was born, after the shock wore off…or I like to think it did…my folks realized that they did not have a name picked out for me. At the time, Dad, a mechanic, co-owned a small fishing boat with some other men. The name of the boat was the Mary Jane. Seemed as good a name as any.

I’d love to tell you that because of this family lore I was always drawn to boats. I think that it’s simply because I live on an island. I do love boats and I love being by, on, or in the water. Like many who live here, I made a living on the water, scalloping, for about four years, and shucking for many more.

In high school, the dad of one of my closest friends, Kurt Erickson, had a boat rental place on Steamboat Wharf, just about where the fast boat docks now. What a gift that was. Every day, after work, we would gather at the shop and help clean up. Our payment was the use of any and all of the boats.

It was really so very special and so appreciated. We knew how lucky we were.

I was reminded of this recently when I joined the Nantucket Land Council for an Oyster Farm tour with Oyster Farmer Simon Edwardes, Ecologist Emily Molden, Executive Director Cormac Collier, and Captain Blair Perkins and crew. Their knowledge and efforts towards improving the chances of keeping this place that is so loved and special safe and healthy is nothing short of admirable, and I am grateful that they are so generous with their time. Being on the water for a few hours that day was exactly what I didn’t know I needed.

As I slowly (and I do mean slowly) begin to make my way into the role of “old Nantucketer” I do have some very strong opinions about various things around the island. For example: whether or not the ponds should be opened continued on page 12

(of course they should) how often (Spring and Fall.)

Should people direct traffic from behind the wheel of a car (they should not…and you know who you are). Does there need to be a slow lane on the sidewalk in town for those who want to saunter (absolutely.)

I also have decidedly definite leanings when it comes to fish and shellfish. As with most things, local is best. The fish that we have access to on-island from any and all of the independent Fish Markets is something special. I happen to be partial to Fresh Catch at Bartlett’s Farm because I see the care and integrity Joan and Jeff have in buying and selling great, fresh fish every single day. Their fish is handled right and well and this comes across in, not only the taste, but the smell and texture. Fresh as can be. They carry Fifth Bend Oysters from Simons farm.

Though it’s often said you should only eat oysters in months with an R, it is perfectly safe (and you should…in my opinion) to eat these oysters year round. Plus, enjoying them with a glass of Rosé? Well, there’s just no better way to celebrate the season. Raise a glass to fresh, local, and sustainable on Nantucket for produce, shellfish, and our neighbors who keep it going strong.

Oysters will keep up to a week refrigerated.

Store flat with the cup or bowl of the shell down. If you’re transporting them or have them in a cooler on ice, keep the drain spout open. Oysters don’t care for fresh water and will not last long if immersed.

July 12-18, 2018

When I was speaking with Simon during our voyage, I told him that I could open scallops all day every day, but I found oysters intimidating. He said that all I needed was a good pair of gloves, a sharp, thick bladed oyster knife, and to let go of my fear.

Challenge accepted!

Prepare your mignonette sauce up the same day to keep it fresh and bright. Open your oysters just prior to serving.

SIMPLE MIGNONETTE SAUCE 1/4 cup Champagne vinegar 1 tablespoon finely minced shallot 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Combine all ingredients. Let sit for at least a half an hour before serving. For a spicy twist, add a teaspoon of sriracha.

Compound butter can keep refrigerated for about five days, and frozen for about six months. I like to make it in one pound batches, divide it into four, and roll it like logs, wrapping it in wax paper then plastic wrap before freezing it.

As the fresh herbs start rolling in the door, and the pots on my deck are full and ready to be used and shared, one of my favorite things to make is compound butter.

A good rule of thumb is one half cup chopped herbs per pound of butter.

Soften your butter, and, in a food processor or mixer with a paddle, blend your butter and fresh herbs.

For Grilled Oysters, I love a mixture of chives and tarragon with a bit of fresh thyme. On a medium hot grill, place oysters, cup side down (aka flat side up!)

Close the lid and cook until the oysters open, which should take five to seven minutes. Remove from heat and carefully pop the top shell off, keeping as much liquid in as possible. Top each with a piece of compound butter, and back to the grill they go, lid closed, for about three minutes. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.

And, speaking of butter. I’ve mentioned before that one of the best cookbooks I have ever read is Josh McFadden’s Six Seasons; A New Way with Vegetables. In this amazingly smart and inspirational book is a butter that is so beautiful and special. I can’t wait to serve it this summer. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.

In the meantime, use your imagination and this recipe as a guide: 1/2 pound of room temperature, great quality butter.

(Think small farm, small batch, regional.)

Small or torn fresh herb leaves including thyme, dill, flat leaf parsley, along with a bit of tarragon, sage and oregano.

1 fresh scallion sliced very thin Petals from edible flowers such as Anise, Hyssop, Marigolds, Pansies, Calendulas, Nasturtiums and Borage Flake Sea Salt (Malden is great.)

Freshly cracked black pepper Toasted Cracked Coriander seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds On a simple serving platter or clean cedar board, smear the butter to 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick, using an offset spatula.

Scatter with herb leaves, sliced green onion, flower petals, salt and pepper, adding seeds if desired. Sprinkle with flaked salt.

Having fresh, just opened oysters, a simple mignonette sauce, a good, crusty baguette and a lovely, chilled glass of rose, such as Ruth Lowendoski Rose Cuvee Zero 2017 would make an ordinary summer evening extraordinary, as every summer evening should be.

The Nantucket Land Council will be hosting a few more Oyster Farm Tours this summer on July 31, August 14, and August 29. Advance registration is required and tickets sell out fast: do yourself a huge favor and go. Absolutely worth the time and the is money well-invested. You can reserve a spot at NantucketLandCouncil.org. Cheers!

Elizabeth Waggett from page 5

of direct responsibility for the destruction of our planet’s invaluable resources, often taking the word of the media, politicians, religious leaders and CEOs at face value.

Using the subject of the natural world as her muse and choosing perhaps surprising creatures, Elizabeth exposes the responsibility of the individual in owning the effects of their decisions. Adorning each piece with gold leaf and precious metal, the dichotomy of the monochromatic pallet against the gold is a visual representation of the struggle of the inner self to balance greed and purpose.

She draws inspiration from her international background with her work being dominated by the discordant relationship between true value and worth. Having lived all over the world in some of the most diverse and contrasting cities, she is fascinated by the stark comparison of perceived success, and draws on this international experience to narrate her work.

The monochromatic pallet simplifies the form allowing a deeper exploration of the subject matter. This causes the viewer to focus first on a realistic representation, before a closer inspection reveals the true technique. This fine art technique takes hours of intense concentration before a final gilding of 24 karat gold leaf is applied. True to this fine art tradition, she only uses the highest quality materials, responsibly sourced, such as certified Saunders Waterford archival cotton paper and ethically sourced 24 karat gold.

Samuel Owen Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located on Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich, Connecticut that took up summer residence in the historic Seven Seas building on Centre Street, Nantucket Island. The seasonal gallery welcomes patrons old and new in its third consecutive year on island.

The gallery is committed to exhibiting the work of emerging to mid-career artists, as well as a variety of strong secondary market works.

Endangered Cactus from page 9

It is an odd juxtaposition with our “moorland” species like false heather which seem more at home in northern climates. But as famed botanist Asa Gray once said, nothing in the way of plant life could surprise him on Nantucket.

The fruit of the prickly pear is fleshy and green initially, becoming pinkishred as it matures. The plant has been documented at Native American archaeological sites, presumably because of the sweet, edible fruits. The red fruit, which gives this cactus its name, is apparently juicy and delicious, though slightly sour, but do not go harvesting this plant. The prickly pear is now protected under the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act. This special plant is not only unusual in its setting, but is listed as endangered by the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program giving it full protection in the state mainly due to available habitat.

Prickly Pear is currently known only from Barnstable, Dukes, and Nantucket counties. It is native in Dukes and Nantucket counties and thought to have been introduced to Plymouth, Middlesex and Barnstable counties. Prickly Pear was known to grow in coastal dune communities as early as the 1830s.

The open, protected habitat of Coatue and Great Point provide space and security for this rare species. After some severe winter storms, I have often walked along Monomoy shores with my son and dog, looking for treasure that may have floated up on the beach. Aside from the odd boat cushion or piece of lighthouse brick, we have found prickly pear pads multiple times that have just washed ashore from across the harbor. As this plant can establish vegetatively via detached pads as well as from seed, I was hoping to see a population arise on the shores of Monomoy. No such luck, however.

The prickly pear was one of the first plants of note on Nantucket making it into an official report in 1833. In 1961, botanist Frank MacKeever said that this 1833 report of our native cactus marked the “starting point of exact Nantucket botany.” While multiple botanists, naturalists, and plant enthusiasts have been obsessed with Nantucket botany ever since, we owe a debt of gratitude to the unique characteristic of the Prickly Pear cactus for putting Nantucket flora on the map.

it up in a special line for Chad and Stacy. They can get Bud Light delivered to the trunk of their car and never turn the engine off. Then they get an â&#x20AC;&#x153;How was your Experience shopping with usâ&#x20AC;? receipt on their phones. In the rest of America, the customer is the most valuable person in the business.

On Nantucket, the most valuable person standing at any store is the oldest person behind the counter. Most Nantucket stores, in July, are manned by the owner. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;name on the checksâ&#x20AC;? is working a ten-hour day, is hoping that the afternoon shift is coming, and does not have time for â&#x20AC;&#x153;why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you have any avocado?â&#x20AC;? Our current political climate has encouraged the comfortably uncomfortable to call for the police or a manager. In the rest of America, this might result in some long phone calls from corporate, some gift certificates, and a pointed memo tacked up over the time clock. However, on Nantucket, that call only goes to the woman behind the counter, and she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time for it. And she is holding a knife.

Long term, the young folks should be our future.

The kids behind the counter flip the burgers, scoop the ice cream, and spread sprouts on top of your turkey sandwich. They work for an education, a paycheck, and a cocktail party story when they are forty; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;know, I used to throw trash for Miles Reis.â&#x20AC;?

campaign. You would come here with a crew of friends from high school or college, rent a house for the summer, work two jobs, party on the beach, then leave in August tanned, broke, and happy. All of those bartenders and waitresses went on to the rest of their lives, got married, honeymooned here, then, when their ship came in, bought a property on-island. The beaches of this island were filled with people who knew how to take your cocktail order or trim the hedges.

In that hazy past, before AirBnB and during 30 Acres, I worked at the Muse. We checked I.D.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, broke up fights, collected empty beer bottles (couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pour beers then), and made thousands of Grape Crush shots. After work, we formed a conga line to throw cases of Bud from storage into the cooler. Almost every person I threw beers to has built a house and/or started a business on the sand. Even the D.J. and house comedian returns in July to his satellite office at Margaritaville North.

Today, the island has grown rich killing off that dream. The same house that the college guys rented for the summer now goes for ten thousand a week with a swimming pool in the back, all white decor, and an en suite tub. The basement apartments the cleaning girls used to live in are now AirBnBs for five hundred a night. Too much Other would do the work, come earlier, leave later, and appear far more sober. Nantucket isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t becoming more American; we are becoming more Floridian.

Still, July was waiting for his lobsters at Sayleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the other night. He stood in a crowd around the registers while three of the owners made sure everything was right, the chaos had a smile, and someone brought the clam chowder out to July in the Defender 110 before it left.

herbal pairing and garden fresh garnish. Place ice, 4 ounces Lillet, 1 ounce small-batch Monkey 47 Gin, two Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice and ¼ C fresh local basil leaves into a shaker. Shake well. Fill a tall glass with ice and strain mixture into the glass. Add a splash of tonic water, garnish with a cucumber spear and basil springs. Garden salad in a glass!

MINTY FRESH Nantucket’s well-known PUMPKIN POND FARM offers a large selection of mint varieties to spice up any cocktail creation. Not just for tea anymore, the cool, slightly astringent flavors of mint warm up well to the luscious flavors of fruit and rich warmth of a rush of alcohol. Grab more than a handful of the minty-est fresh mint available as it is the garnish of choice for the British inspired drink called PIMM’S CUP made with Pimm’s Cup No. 1 liqueur.

Pimm’s has a dark brown color with a reddish tint, and tastes subtly of spice and citrus. The recipe calls for this liqueur topped with sparkling lemonade (or substitute ginger ale), and generously garnished with an abundance of fresh fruit (think sangria here with apples, cucumbers, oranges, strawberries, lemons) and mint—lots of mint! This is considered the perfect summer long drink after winning the lawn match of tennis, crushing it at croquet, or at your summer garden soirée. It’s Pimm’s o’Clock!

STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER Pick your own pint of succulent strawberries at MOORS END FARM off Polpis Road. You will need plenty for your STRAWBERRY-TARRAGON SMASH. To prep for the cocktail, you will need to slice a handful of fresh strawberries and cut a lime into wedges, as well as make a tarragon simple syrup. To make the tarragon simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and hot water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add a small bunch of tarragon leaves to steep (about 10 minutes). Strain before using and store in a glass continued on page 27

jar until use. Prepare the cocktail by adding the sliced strawberries and lime wedges into the bottom of an ice-filled shaker. Use the end of a wooden spoon to muddle the ingredients. Add juice of one lime, four ounces of Keel Vodka, and a splash of tarragon simple syrup and fill again with ice. Shake and pour into ice filled highball glasses. Finish the drink with a colorful garnish of a strawberry slice, lime wedge, and sprig of tarragon. If you prefer, add a little spritz of club soda, sparkling water or sparkling wine (our favorite option!). While this recipe is a little more labor intensive, the result of the sweet fruit, earthy herb, not-so-boozy alcohol and refreshing topper combine to make summer living easy!

A SWEET ADDITION

TO

ANY DRINK

The bee’s golden nectar - honey - is an all-purpose miracle ingredient behind any bar. It’s sweet enough to substitute for sugar when making simple syrup (see recipe above), yet complex enough to add depth of flavor to citrus drinks and cool down heat in spicy concoctions. David Berry of NANTUCKET HONEYBEE CO. produces amazing, locally sourced raw honey that is worth adding to your bar or pantry staples. THE BEE’S KNEES is easy and simple, a not-so complicated beverage quick to raise to your lips. Combine 2 ounces Caledonia Spirits Barr Hill Gin (made in Vermont with Juniper and Raw Honey) with ½ ounce lemon juice, and ¾ ounce honey syrup (made by heating equal parts honey and hot water similar to a simple syrup) in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon. For a slight variation of the theme, add a dash of Fee Brothers Orange Bitters and garnish with an orange. The drink your guests will all be buzzing about!

Atlantic Halibut Filet

truffle aioli, smatterings of pickled red onion, dollops of shimeji mushrooms and a glimmer of black garlic. Brioche croutons crumbled and every bite was better than the last.

For those of us that like getting an early start to the evening, the spacious BPG bar offers options from 3pm, including from scratch clam chowder, crab cakes, burgers, and more. And quite frankly, the Signature Lobster Mac & Cheese was the best we’ve ever had. Served in a cast iron skillet that helps keep it hot, it was piled high with Vermont cheddar laden rigatoni and tons of lobster. We had two massive claws plus more; all of it was so tender and perfectly prepared.

The Ahi Tuna Poke is an umami dream. Flavors of prominent wakame seaweed, fresh cucumber, earthy sesame, fragrant scallion, sweet pineapple, and togarashi spiced peanuts are married and stand apart all at once with cute cubes of tuna serving as a delivery device. Wonton chips add an essential crunch factor, reminding us that this dish brought a little bit of everything to the table.

The surprising touch of poached rhubarb and strawberry puree added an exhilarating dimension to the Atlantic Halibut Filet. The sear on the fish is a toothsome crackle revealing brilliant white meat that mingles with roasted sunchokes, fava beans, and oyster mushrooms. A table side butter sauce pour lets everything swim and dance before you take your first bite.

Veal Osso Bucco was a first for a few of us, and we were titillated to try.

The meat is cut across the leg, bone in, enhancing the richness throughout.

It’s slow cooked, succulent, and delicious with a bone marrow gremolata in the middle (save some of that bread!). The luscious parmesan polenta underneath absorbs every drop of goodness from the veal while the Veal Osso Bucco asparagus atop con-

trasts in color and crunch. This dish would be ideal on a cold day, but quite frankly we would never turn it down.

A perfect Pea and Parmesan Risotto was so rich and creamy we thought for sure stock was involved. Snappy peas pepper the plate alongside tart pickled ramps, sea beans, and a drizzle of preserved lemon vinaigrette for an amazingly lively finish. When vegetarian options are this good we often think about changing sides.

The 5-star grill marks on the Grilled Ahi Tuna tell a story of what’s underneath: superb, slightly warm rubyred flesh resting on a wholesome buckwheat soba noodle salad, fresh barely blackened bok choi, and a drizzle of charred scallion vinaigrette that sets Grilled Ahi Tuna everything off.

Nothing is overdone and the simple flavors throughout are allowed to speak for themselves.

The desserts at BPG are out of this world. All are prepared European Style: a method that puts less focus on sugary sweet outcomes and more on the flavor and quality of ingredients. All were radiant and picture-perfect, as nice on the eyes as they were on the palate. White Chocolate Semifredo was served parfait-style in a stemless wine glass. Cascading layers of banana bread and coffee ice cream were brought down to the semi-frozen base by a table side pour of warm rum sauce. Crunchy, cool, and marvelously creamy.

The Key Lime Tart was zesty and refreshing, dense and delectable. The Chocolate Dome was so dark not even light could escape it, but hiding within was an airy, fruity passion fruit puree. Pillows of even more passion fruit dotted the plate alongside fresh strawberries and a tangy coconut lime sorbet. The lively combination of the four features was mind blowing. Our favorite final course was the Vanilla Mascarpone. A pink puffy “bed” with chocolate headboard was so fun the cut into and even more fun to eat. A florally fantastic lavender sorbet served as an excellent herbal contrast of flavors and temperature.

The family friendly Brant Point Grill is an island hot spot for a reason. A “come as your are,” unpretentious dining room with stellar service that is only eclipsed by the quality of meals served. Come for a quick snack or feed the family, you’ll always have options at Brant Point Grill.

Leave only footprints...

Nantucket has some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the world. Please respect Nantucket’s fragile environment and the beauty of our island. Clean up your litter, respect private property, and use only designated entry points. In areas where dune reclaimation is taking place, please do not cross the rope or fence barriers protecting the dunes.

BEACH SAFETY •Learn to swim. If you can’t swim an overhead stroke for at least 15 minutes you should not be in the ocean. •Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy, and swim near a lifeguard whenever possible. •Stay out of the “surf zone” where the waves break at the shoreline. Waves are at their greatest force here, and even a small wave can lift you up and throw you headfirst into the sand. •Never run from the beach into the water and dive headfirst into the waves. Sandbars that cannot be seen from the surface may be present and/or the water may be too shallow.

•Don’t jump or dive into the water from a pier or rock jetty. From a pier or jetty, water appears much deeper than it really is. What looks like 10 or 20 feet of water may only be 2 to 3 feet deep. Diving in could be fatal. The same applies for jumping headfirst into the ocean or a wave from a surfboard – don’t do it! It’s not a risk worth taking. •If you are body surfing or boogie boarding, always keep your arms out in front of you to protect your head and neck. •A rip current will pull you away from the shore, but it will not pull you under. If you’re caught in a rip current, do not swim toward the shore! Instead, swim parallel to the shore, until you’re out of the rip current. Then, swim in to shore. •Never drink alcohol or use drugs at the beach. It clouds your ability to make wise decisions, and that could be fatal! •Take direction from lifeguards at all times.
