Wilton CreamerySuch Stuff as Dreams—and Ice Creams—Are Made

by Cliff Dunn

o Enter Wilton Creamery and you enter a world that shouldn’t reasonably exist on this mortal coil; not really. It is a stunningly colored world (a “dairy bar” in the owner’s parlance; a Wonderful World of Dishes for the rest of us) where ice cream is dished out in an upscale, Art Deco environment that is as visually appealing as its wares are, well, delicious.

Wilton Creamery is the dream of D.J. Colby and his partners Joe Casalena and Carl Matroka. The ingredient-driven ice cream shop, which opened on June 21 during Stonewall Pride weekend, is located in the Island City Lofts (nestled be-tween The Manor and Village Pub on the north side of Wilton Drive).

Colby says it is a place whose time has come.

“When I first moved to Florida, I was struck by the fact that there’s really no good ice cream here,” says Colby, who hails from New Jersey—the part closer to Philadelphia than Manhattan—and who trained in culinary school.

That chef experience informs the sensibility behind the tastes at Wilton Creamery, including the shop’s most popular flavor, “He’s Not Worth it,” and other popular entries like Sea Salt Caramel.

The parlor’s split-level environs welcome guests to indulge their inner kid, with a menu selection that is anything but self-conscious. Colby and his partners have created a huge selection of can’t-put-it-down-until-the-last-bite treats, including ice cream sundaes, shakes, and specialty desserts (like the Pumpkin Pecan Ice Cream Pie, pictured, and the Ice Cream Nachos), as well as frozen treats served by the scoop and cone.

Wilton Creamery’s Sundaes are made with fresh, premium ice cream, and served with com-plimentary syrups and toppings with fresh whipped cream. The

selection includes masterpieces like the Strawberry Cheesecake Sundae (made with vanilla ice cream, sweetened cream cheese, fresh strawberries, Nilla Wafers and strawberry whipped cream), the taste-pleasing Firecracker Sundae (vanilla ice cream with Ghirardelli white chocolate sauce, strawberries, and topped with popping cotton candy), the one-of-a-kind Chocolate Jalapeno Sundae (intense Dutch chocolate ice cream with jalapeno and chocolate syrups, topped with chili cocoa powder), and the decadent Chocolate Shop Sundae (caramel turtle fudge ice cream, hot fudge, mini M & ’s, Vanleer semi-sweet chocolate chips, and crushed Heath Bar topped with white or dark chocolate whipped cream).

The non-dairy Sundaes (which include such original flavors as Strawberry Basil, Chocolate Dream, and Raspberry Meltdown) are made with coconut-based ice cream, and served with vegan syrups and toppings.

“There’s an untapped market in vegetarian and vegan ice cream,” Colby explains. “Based on our sales, I have to believe that fully a third of Wilton Manors is lactose in-tolerant.” Better get that checked.

There are non-dairy beverages made with a combination of fresh fruits, unusual syrups, nuts, and a choice of almond or soy milk.

Colby says Wilton Creamery Smoothies contain fresh Greek yogurt, fresh fruits, and unusual syrups, made from ingredients like healthful agave, Ghirardelli white or dark chocolate, and raspberry.

The menu also includes a wide selection of Milkshakes, Malts, Ba-nana Splits, Coffee (Hot and Iced), Hot Tea, and Bottled Beverages.

And the parlor is always intro-ducing new ice cream flavors, like the recently unveiled Maple Walnut, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, and No-Sugar-Added Kahlua Almond Fudge.

Colby hopes to reeducate the local market about the year ’round appeal of frozen desserts.

“Up north, there are lines outside ice cream shops in the coldest weather,” he insists. “Besides which, you should eat something when it’s cold out—it keeps your body temperature cool and able to stay more active.”

He and Wilton Creamery are giving the locals reason to change their habits, cold weather or otherwise.

JIVE TURKEYSFive Non-Traditional Meals You Can Make This Thanksgiving

THE FRIVOLIST

BY MIKEY ROX

SOUTHERN BBQSouthern-style BBQ – or Soul Food as it’s otherwise affec-tionately known – includes many meaty staples like brisket,

pulled pork and slow-smoked ribs. To feed a crowd, however, fi nger-lickin’ fried chicken is a wise option to keep the meal af-fordable – and to ensure that everyone can partake. (Even among carnivores, there may be those who have sworn off red meat or pork for various reasons, but chicken is generally foolproof.)

There are a million and one recipes for amazing fried chicken that you can fi nd on the Internet, but “Southern Living’s Best Fried Chicken” says it all. This New York Times-approved recipe is simple in its preparation, and it includes a secret, indulgent ingredient that takes it to the next level – bacon grease. (If this is your fi rst time frying chicken, it’s not a bad idea to take a crash course before heading to the kitchen; Bon Appetit magazine has a great article on “7 Common Fried Chicken Mistakes and How to Avoid Them.”)

For a complete meal, prepare a generous portion of greens (col-lard are the southern essential); melty macaroni and cheese (Martha Stewart has a few “wow!” recipes), honey-glazed carrots; candied yams (don’t forget the mini marshmallows on top); and, if you can, homemade cornbread baked in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet.

COASTALYou don’t have to live on the Cape to enjoy the bounty of the sea at Thanksgiving. Thanks to the increased popularity

of farm-raised seafood, shellfi sh – like buttery lobster – is available year-round at reasonable prices. Nothing can replace New England lobster, of course, but for an easier-on-the-wallet substitute, this may be the way to go. You’ll save even more money by purchasing lobster tails instead of whole lobster – which you really don’t need unless you’re a lobster purist or making a stock from the carcasses – and there are innumerable ways you can prepare it. Since this is a special occasion, I recommend a “Broiled Lobster Tail with Brown Butter Sauce” – like the preparation from Simply Recipes.

For your sides, mix in a few Low Country boil elements like corn on the cob; black-eyed pea salad; apple-cabbage slaw; baked po-tatoes; and Cheddar Bay Biscuits, the Red Lobster-branded box mix you can fi nd at your local grocer.

Turkey is the unequivocal king of the Thanksgiving dinner table, but if you’re tired of bowing down to a Butterball every fourth Thursday of November, there are alterna-tives. From Southern-style cuisine to a succulent Coastal feast – and even a vegetari-an-based menu thrown in for all you PETA card carriers – here are fi ve non-traditional ways you can celebrate for what you’re thankful while still stuffi ng your face.

TEX-MEXIf you have the good fortune to dine al fresco this Thanks-giving, take advantage of the pleasant weather and plan

your meal to complement Mother Nature’s good grace. Sunset Magazine has a wealth of South of the Border-style recipes to help you get your fi esta on, which begins with a cool ceviche made with fresh seafood like shrimp or fi sh. For your mains, prepare a selection of Mexican favorites likes enchiladas, tamales and tacos. To make these dishes decidedly more Thanksgiving-y, replace the traditional protein in these dishes – usually chicken, beef or pork – with chile-and-spice-grilled turkey. To add a little color to your plate, Sunset has recipes for roasted chile-lime broccolini, a fall salad with nuts and pomegranates, and chorizo and apple stuffi ng. Finish on a sweet note with Mexican chocolate cakes with cin-namon ice cream.

VEGETARIANIt’s not easy being a vegetarian on Thanksgiving, but there are plenty of ways you can skip the meat in favor of fruits

and veggies. For a hearty main dish, try “Baked Acorn Squash with Chestnuts, Apples and Leeks or Ricotta-and-Fontina-Stuffed Shells with Fennel and Raddicchio,” both courtesy of Food & Wine maga-zine. Load up your plate with other earthy additions, like creamed spinach, spice-roasted caulifl ower, whipped sweet potatoes with bananas and honey, and green bean casserole with crispy shallots, the recipes for which you can fi nd on FoodNetwork.com.

ITALIANMembers of true Italian family treat every Sunday like it’s a proper banquet, which makes it all the easier to create a

Thanksgiving menu fi lled with Old World fl air. Better Homes and Gardens has done the legwork for you with its “Thanksgiving Menu: Italian Thanksgiving Recipes” that doesn’t rely on a main dish as a centerpiece but rather several small, standalone dishes to create an abundant supper. Pop in a DVD of The Godfather while you nosh on an antipasto platter, seafood bruschetta, bouillabaisse, mini crab cakes, fennel and orange salad, and sautéed spinach. If your family demands dishes with more substance, show off your culinary chops with roast lamb, pumpkin ravioli, or a spinach and four-cheese manicotti. And after the kids clear the plates, relax with an energy-boosting espresso and light-and-tasty Tiramisu.

A cloudy rainy day is never the best time to sit at any waterside restaurant, but if you have not been to the newly

renovated Shooters Waterfront in East Fort Lauderdale, anytime is worth this dining experience. Arriving at the valet with a few short steps to the hostess stand to your left and spectacular Intracoastal views straight ahead, you will immediately feel the vibe of what will become a fantastic afternoon or evening.

The main room, artfully filled with contem-porary fabric wall coverings and chandeliers, softly surrounds two completely new, happily occupied bars — the lower of which depicts more of an innovative upscale semi-sports bar with large TV screens.

We chose an inside waterfront wood-grain Formica four-top table with synthetic weave table mats and coordinating upholstered pull up chairs, which was surrounded by well-de-signed high back booths, large shaded chande-liers reflecting the soft tones of taupe colored walls, and accents throughout. Either seating choice assures that you have an incredible view and a good time. Completing the amazing transformation is a fresh new menu and some very unique drink specials. The wine list is extensive as is the domestic and imported beer selection.

This is for sure a favorite and I have yet to describe the food!

Our server Keith walked over and (quite frankly to my surprise) extended a warm smile along with his hand to greet each one of us individually. Rare and unnecessary (yet refreshing at the same time), his genuine and friendly personality overwhelmed his strong approach.

We were pressed for time (as two out-of-town guests had a plane to catch within hours), so we ordered a round of Absolut on the rocks with a splash of cranberry, and drank while discussing the near-future plans of my new Floridian real estate clients.

We hurriedly ordered so that we would be served in a timely manner as we were seated with a very busy dining crowd.

Two of us ordered the Shooter Burger

($16) — a juicy short rib chuck blended brisket medium rare, lettuce tomato (hold the onions on both) with havarti, choice of several cheeses, on a fresh warm brioche bun. Served with a heaping help-ing of shoestring fries. Nice.

The other orders arrived with the burgers — Beef Carpaccio ($16). This is a thinly sliced beef tenderloin doused with micro cilantro, mint shaved red onion, sprinkled with spiced peanuts in a Nôc chãm sauce — an extract of an amber-colored liquor from the fermentation of fish. A Vietnamese delicacy, indeed.

Slow Braised Short Ribs ($28) served with a colorful array of pickled red onion, diced tomato herb salad with a red wine reduction. As presented on a crisp white dinner plate, this entrée is a winner, all around. The beef literally broke apart with each forkful. Tender, moist and seasoned perfectly.

Additionally, I ordered two sides of Mac and Cheese ($5) for the table. A must. Truly speaking. It is that good! Several imported cheeses masterfully blended to create a creamy, gooey sauce covering large elbow size maca-

roni, browned and served piping hot. Take some home, to reheat. It is just

as good the next day!Freshly brewed coffee around

the table with the check please.Once we got up, we toured the

outside bar, with upbeat jazz music playing. The grounds are exceptional,

crisp green turf, semi-private cabana-style wicker cage seating, lighted palm trees and that never-ending view. On a cooler evening, ask for the fire pit to be lighted. What a romantic ambiance!

By boat, there is plenty of dock space, 340 feet of it!

The restaurant offers late-night dining on Friday and Saturday until midnight.

Inquire about your private catered party in the adjacent newly renovated facility with soar-ing floor to ceiling glass walls.

Looks and Listensby GreGG Shapiro

SCREEN SAVOR SCREEN SAVOR

It’s amazing what someone will say when a movie camera is pointed at them. With

encouragement from the late filmmaker Shirley Clarke, queer African-American raconteur and hustler Jason Holliday goes about “tell-ing it all” in the pre-Stonewall, black & white film and one-man-show Portrait of Jason (Milestone/Oscilloscope). Answering questions posed to him by voices (including Clarke’s) from out of the frame, Jason begins by introducing himself with his given name and proceeds to tell the tale of how Jason Holliday was created in San Francisco by Sabu. He “dug” being called Jason, a name that suited his personality. Even Miles Davis called him Jason. The name gave him the strength to be himself in NYC.

Jason, who hustles and describes himself as

those boy-boy marriages,” a drunk and ram-bling Jason gives us glimpses of his past (daily beatings by his Alabama-born father, Brother Tough), his present (sexual escapades at the Y, with a muscle man in LA and hustling in San Francisco) and his future (the quest to raise money for his cabaret act), and is never less than beguiling.

Jason, who has “vacationed” on Rikers Island and done time at Bellevue following being arrested for gay sex, maintains his sense of humor throughout. As much a portrait of Jason as it is of the time (1967), Clarke’s film is like an unearthed time capsule. The DVD includes a wealth of bonus material includ-ing the film’s trailer, audio outtakes, a radio interview with Clarke, a few of Clarke’s shorts and more.

Like Ira Sachs’ Love Is Strange, the Brazilian film The Way He Looks

(Strand), the full-length feature debut by writer/director Daniel Ribiero, isn’t just one of the best gay movies of 2014, it’s one of the best movies of the year. Period.

Blind teen Leo (Ghilherme Lobo) and best friend Givoana (Tess Amorim) enjoy the last lazy days of summer lounging by the pool and talking about first kisses before school begins. Once classes start, it’s business as usual. The class bullies are mean to Leo. But things are about to change for Leo with the arrival of new kid Gabriel (Fabio Audi). Paired up to work on a class project togeth-er, there is electricity between the boys. Each has an unexpected effect on the other.

Leo, who only listens to classical music, is turned on to Scottish pop group Belle and Sebastian by Gabriel, who even gets Leo to dance with him in Leo’s room. Gabriel be-comes increasingly aware of and sensitive to Leo’s needs as a visually impaired person.

Meanwhile, Leo is doing everything he can to be more self-sufficient, something that doesn’t sit well with his over-protective par-ents Laura (Lucia Romano) and Carlos (Eucir de Souza). In fact, Leo is researching the possibility of studying abroad. This growing desire for independence also threatens Leo’s relationship with Giovana.The Way He Looks is remarkably insightful in terms of the way small, but meaningful details, can eventually amount to some-thing much greater. Leo sleeping in Gabriel’s sweatshirt, for instance, is one potent example. Gabriel’s concern for Leo, applying sun-block to his skin and later rinsing it off in the shower, is another. More than just a story of first gay love, it’s a perceptive por-trait of friendship and the eclipses that can occur, whether you can see them or not.(The Way He Looks opens in theaters on Nov. 26.)

“a stone whore,” will do anything to keep from punching the clock from nine to five. “Ballin’ from Maine to Mexico,” Jason hasn’t got a dol-lar to show for it, but he sure had a good time. What he really wants to do is perform.

Staying well lubricated in Clarke’s Chelsea Hotel flat, Jason admits he “doesn’t mean any harm, but harm is done.” A “male bitch,” he goes out of his way to “unglue people.” Working as a houseboy for various well-to-do clients, Jason has plenty of stories about his bosses. A born entertainer, Jason utilizes his bag of props, which contains a picture hat, feather boa and other things. Impressions of Mae West and Scarlett OHara, lead to more anecdotes about Katharine Hepburn, Tennes-see Williams and “white boy fever.”

Promising to never “get hung up on one of

Here we go again! Another whirlwind season of holidays are rapidly approach-ing as 2014 dances uncontrollably to a

close. Parties, concerts, eating, and drinking are all characteristic festive features of this glitter-ing season of good cheer. I don’t mean to be some prophet of gloom, but may I remind you that the average adult American gains an aver-age of 5-12 pounds during this festive time of plenty. That’s right, the time between Thanks-giving and New Year’s Day can wreak serious havoc upon your waistline as well as the seri-ous fitness goals you’ve achieved in 2014.

Here are a few pointers to help you stay hap-py, healthy, lean, and fit during the holidays.

Never skip breakfast! The holidays will add extra demands to your already hectic sched-ule, but never fudge on the first and most significant meal of the day. By regularly eating complex carbs soon after you get up, you may be able to avoid overeating at lunch, dinner and at those holiday parties. Eating 4 or 5 smaller meals every two to three hours after breakfast will keep you from picking away at cookies and other junk. You’ll feel fuller, less likely to binge, and your body will have a steady, healthy supply of carbs and protein for those holiday workouts.

Avoid holiday splurges and binge eating. Never eat without thinking and never consider yourself invincible when it comes to avoiding the bulge. Holiday foods are notoriously high in sugar, sodium and saturated fats. A little here and a little there can add up to ugly inch-es on that hot butt and tiny waistline. Re-gift candy and fruit cakes before you even think of breaking into them. They make marvelous, thoughtful gifts …for others.

Do not be a slave to your chaotic lifestyle, which is certain to be compounded by holiday commitments. Take control and don’t let the merry mayhem wreak havoc with your eating habits. Evaluate your schedule and make time to fit healthy choices into your regime. Get to the gym and especially remember to do your cardio. Plan nutritious meals and bring food to work

with you. Take low calorie veggie trays and other healthy dishes with you to holiday parties so that you’ll have something to eat while others are slamming back the egg nog.

If you are an emotional eater, the yuletide season is sure to cause you heartache. Stress at work, family squabbles, increased expecta-tions from friends, holiday depression and loneliness can all be compounded at this time. Stress can increase levels of the hormone cortisol in your body, causing you to feel more hungry than usual. Figure out how to manage your stress levels, not only during the holiday seasons, but all year long. Find a good friend to talk to, listen to music, get a massage--in short, treat yourself nicely.

Everybody needs a daily calorie budget. Make sure to read labels. Experts recommend reading labels for calories per serving and the amount of calories per serving coming from fat – if it’s one third or less, it’s probably a decent option. Next, look for the amount of sodium and fiber you’ll be getting. Comparing product’s labels will take extra time, but like choosing any delicious treat, you want to get to learn about the product inside before you taste the merchandise.

You are not a victim to the holidays. The holi-days are not about whining relatives and excess. They are about good friends and relaxation.
