</div>Happy Holidays from Gab! <br />
<br />
OK, we're aware that we're smack-dab in the middle of August. But when you're in the PR industry, you always have to think ahead. That's why, yesterday, Gab was on-hand at a 4 Orange Vodka photoshoot at The Omphoy Ocean Resort capturing the signature cocktails for the Fall & Holiday Season. It's never too early for a little holiday 'spirit,' right?<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Smokehouse has come a long way. It first launched to the area nearly a year ago with a modest 1,500 square-foot location in East Boca, which has since closed so owners Mark Uffer and Erik Frasco can focus their barbecue expertise on their new flagship.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The new 4,136 square-foot location in West Boca is more than double the size of the original and almost triples its smoking capabilities. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">That means their smoker can cook 2,000 pounds of meat at one time (think 90 slabs of ribs, 70 pork loins, 50 briskets, 30 turkeys, and 120 chickens), which, incidentally, is probably the best meat you've ever eaten. </span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To commemorate its Grand Opening, Smokehouse dished out almost 2,000 free barbecue samplers with three smoked chicken wings and two baby back or St. Louis-style ribs, all cooked in its custom smoker from Missouri. Which equaled a lot of happy, albeit saucy, faces. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">More than 700 guests stuck around to order off the full menu, choosing from smoked ribs, brisket, chicken, wings, sausages, and pork, as well as homemade sides like Cole Slaw, Poblano Cheddar Smokehouse Bread, and Baked Beans “like Grandma used to make.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As the sun set over Smokehouse, guests washed down their 'cue complimentary beer, wine and tequila samplings.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Proceeds from the day’s sales benefited The Connor Moran Children’s Cancer Foundation, a 501(c)3 charity celebrating its 20th anniversary supporting the health, healing, and happiness of children and adults facing the uncertainty of cancer or another life changing illness in South Florida.</span><br />

<br />
We’re talking tender, smoky, fall-off-the-bone ‘cue made on thick slabs of hickory the old-fashioned way. And, for one day only, it’s yours... <em>for free</em>.</div><br />
That’s right – tomorrow, Thursday, July 28, <strong>Smokehouse Grille & Wingery</strong> is celebrating its West Boca Grand Opening with a generous barbecue sampler, no purchase necessary. That’s three juicy smoked Chicken Wings plus your choice of either two St. Louis-style or Baby Back Ribs, for you, for free.<br />
<br />
The folks at Smokehouse are giving away BBQ samplers all day (from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.), so whether you’re craving a finger-licking lunch or dinner, or just a saucy snack, they’ve got you covered. <br />
<br />
This isn't just any old barbecue. This is true Southern-style smoked goodness, cooked for hours in a custom smoker from Missouri. You can bet we're going to be posted there all day long, enjoying a ribbon cutting, live music, and beer and wine tastings. Make sure to stop in and say hi to the girls of Gab (excuse us in advance if we've got a little sauce on our face). <br />

<br />
Mayor John P. "Jack" Seiler officiated the arrival of the 3,500 square-foot global kitchen dining concept with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, after which guests experienced M Bar’s energetic atmosphere, a hot and cold assortment of complimentary globally influenced small plates, and an open bar featuring M Bar’s signature freshly crafted cocktails, craft beers and international wines.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cdkJtMAaZ6Q/TkFQoWcpB3I/AAAAAAAAA2U/kViAh4cITco/s1600/MBar_GrandOpening_AlexMarkowPhotos_08072017_7132.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" naa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cdkJtMAaZ6Q/TkFQoWcpB3I/AAAAAAAAA2U/kViAh4cITco/s320/MBar_GrandOpening_AlexMarkowPhotos_08072017_7132.jpg.jpg" width="320" /></a>A delectable selection of hot and cold small plates with Mediterranean, Asian, Italian, and Middle Eastern influences were served, including Crispy Pork Belly, Heirloom Tomato Basil Flat Bread, Fried Chicken and Watermelon Salad, Ceviche with Fresh Fruit Salsa and Ginger Vinegar, and Fried Sweetbreads with Hazelnut Waffle and Aged Maple Syrup. While some guests crowded around the bar to enjoy craft beers, cocktails and an international wine list, other sat at tables and admired M Bar’s striking industrial design. </div><br />
“M Bar offers South Floridians a lively, stylish atmosphere to taste, explore and discover,” says Jack Mancini, owner of M Bar and Mancini’s Restaurant. “We use the freshest farm-to-table ingredients to craft adventurous small and large plates, perfect for sharing with a group of friends to dine and socialize. We look forward to becoming the East Las Olas’s ultimate spot for culinary exploration and quality dining.”<br />
<br />
Psst... Mancini also plans to reintroduce a sleek redesigned Mancini’s Restaurant soon, offering a new outdoor patio with an outdoor sidewalk bar and a wood-burning pizza oven, all conveniently located under the same roof as M Bar. <br />

Now that summer's officially arrived, it’s time to reflect on how we're going to spend the season:<br />
<br />
A) Weekend getaways, B) Picnics and barbecues, C) Celebrating Independence Day with summery cocktails, and, of course, D) Looking sizzling hot in your new bikini.<br />
<br />
So why is it that A, B and C contradict D? We have your fitness fix.<br />
<br />
This Wednesday, June 29, Boca Raton Life Time Athletic brings you Dance 101, the newest in the ongoing Life & Learn 101 series. Beginning at 7 p.m., shimmy, step and waltz your way to a toned physique under the instruction of Samantha Melesenka for just $5 (benefiting the Life Time Fitness Foundation). <br />
<br />
Dancing is uplifting, sexy, and increases strength and flexibility while torching calories. It’s no wonder that trends like Zumba DVDs and sitcoms like Dancing with the Stars have become such hits. In fact, Dancing with the Stars is a perfect example of how fun and effective dancing can be. While many stars entered the show fit and trim (personal trainers and private chefs can do wonders!), consider the stars, like Kirstie Alley and Kelly Osbourne, who have battled their weight and ended the season looking and feeling phenomenal.<br />
<br />
Good news is, you don’t have to be asked on Dancing with the Stars to reap all of these wonderful benefits - just join us at Boca Raton Life Time Athletic for Dance 101! Not only with you become bikini ready, but you’re sure to appreciate all those extra endorphins, as well as a new hobby that you can show off on the dance floor. Now that’s a commitment worth keeping.thegabgrouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10159261474026917781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-967595822338367025.post-89645096933187263882011-06-23T07:16:00.000-07:002011-06-23T07:16:46.695-07:00Mizner Park Downtown Drive Kicks Into Gear With First Annual Car ShowOn Father's Day Sunday, June 19, Boca Raton was taken back in time to an era where automotive craftsmanship went hand in hand with artistry.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ohJir2weRA/TgIqq1C7FII/AAAAAAAAA1Q/N-0Soa__1h0/s1600/_MG_1818.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213px" i$="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ohJir2weRA/TgIqq1C7FII/AAAAAAAAA1Q/N-0Soa__1h0/s320/_MG_1818.jpg" width="320px" /></a>Even with rain clouds overhead, the spirit of the first annual Mizner Park Downtown Drive was exciting and full of surprises. With nostalgic tunes flowing through the air, the normally quiet Mizner Park was turned into a chic park where everyone, from the young to those who were around when the rides weren't considered classics, could enjoy themselves. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>From 1940s antiques, to 1960s vintage rides, to sexy, exotic motor vehicles provided by <a href="http://www.loulavie.com/">Lou la Vie</a>, the cars featured at this year's event made Father's Day as memorable as it was fun.<br />
<br />
It's hard to imagine how next year will top this one, but with the enthusiasm and good time had by all, there's no doubt that 2012 will have rarer, even hotter rides making their way to Boca Raton for kids, family and appreciators alike to admire and envy.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Most likely, he was the lucky guy in the passenger seat as you learned how to drive, coaching you as you repeatedly failed to differentiate between 'forward' and 'reverse.' He taught you how to change a tire, effortlessly navigated hundreds of miles on long road trips, and will now and forever know more about cars than you. That's just what dads do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

We're headed straight into the sweltering months of summer, which are notoriously unfriendly times for ladies who like their eye makeup to stay put. Wouldn't it be great if you stepped into the Florida humidity and had long, full, paparazzi-worthy lashes - without a mascara meltdown moments later?<br />
<br />
Gab fans, dream no longer. Daniel Man, M.D., one of the nation's leading platic surgeons located right here in Boca Raton, has the solution.<br />
<br />
Today until Friday, June 3, Dr. Man is offering two kits of Latisse, the only FDA-approved eyelash enhancement solution, for $125 ($62.50 each). <br />
<br />
This stuff is honestly magic. Just brush it onto your top lashline each night (like you would a liquid eyeliner) and you'll start to grow thick, dark, browbone-skimming lashes within a month. We heard Claire Danes's lashes grew so long that her makeup artist actually had to <em>trim</em> them. No tarantula mascara, no break-the-bank eyelash extensions - just natural, "Oh-my-goodness-how-do-you-get-them-so-long" lashes.<br />
<br />
Stop in to Dr. Man's office by Friday, June 3, to get your hands on the newest ammunition in your beauty arsenal. We won't tell anyone your secret...<br />
<br />
Check out some of Gab's favorite Latisse-lovers...<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It was only fitting that, for the big guy's birthday, we go all out with a Summer Circus-themed Birthday Bash worthy of Il Bacio's off-the-chart event roster. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, for the past week, Gab worked in secret to plot the perfect birthday, including smuggling an oversize paper birthday cake into the office for Steven's wife, Jackie, to decorate.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">On Saturday, May 14, we finally were able to pull out all the stops, kicking off the evening with a hilarious James Brown fire performance before presenting dangling aerialists, fireworks courtesy of Steven Pellegrino, Jr., and - surprise! - a beautiful woman leaping out of a birthday cake and launching into a dance and fire performance act for a very surprised Steven.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">As always, DJ Brett the Hitman kept the crowd going until we couldn't dance anymore, providing the soundtrack to yet another unforgettable night.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

On Friday, April 15, Gab brought plenty of untamed entertainment to Life Time's pool area with "High Octane," a special event for Life Time members and their guests. Partygoers decked out in Spring fashions arrived to the energetic sounds of tribal drummers - and the unmistakable aroma of smoked BBQ.<br />
Smokehouse Grille & Wingery catered the event with their famous wings, pork, turkey, and signature sauces. Guests were also treated to decadent Lollie Bites, because, well, who doesn't love cake on a stick? We even caught a few people stashing extras in their handbags!<br />
<br />
The evening's high-energy entertainment kicked off, literally, with a group of capoeira dancers, Afro-Brazilian Martial Arts artists who started the night out with splits, flips and choreographed one-on-one battles. As the sun (and several spiked Tropical Punch cocktails) went down, the night lit up with tribal-inspired fire performances. <br />
<br />
Some performances were seductive, some were plain wild, but, judging by the applause, they were crowd-pleasers across the board. When the party ended, guests went home with a souvenir - their bodies etched in intricate tribal tattoos. $5 per person entrance donations benefited the Life Time Fitness Foundation, a 501 c3 foundation supporting healthy kids and healthy communities.<br />

On Thursday, April 14, the fitness and nutrition team from Boca Raton Life Time Athletic, the area’s premier athletic facility, taught about 40 underprivileged kids the importance of physical fitness and proper nutrition through a fun, hands-on event at Boca Helping Hands, a community-based 501c3 organization that provides food an assistance programs to individuals, families and children. The kids, who ranged from 5 to 10 years old, literally ran off the school bus to attend the event, where they learned fun exercises and the benefits of a proper diet through exercise stations and question-and-answer seminars complete with fresh fruits and veggies.<br />

You simply couldn’t buy this interaction, to have someone tell the children, ‘You’re important enough for me to spend time with’ It’s a great thing.” </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

That’s what we wanted, to teach kids that fitness is fun and that you can use exercise as a form of stress relief rather than turning to drugs or alcohol. I have a feeling this is the beginning of many partnerships between Life Time Athletic and Boca Helping Hands.”</div>The mission of Boca Helping Hands is to provide compassionate service through food and assistance programs to individuals, families, and children to instill dignity and break the cycle of dependence.

Our system server was down today, but that didn't matter once we got a visit from a...different...type of server.<br />
<br />
Two Butlers in the Buff, Billy and Shane, stopped by the Gab office for a quick video shoot (We're in the process of pitching Butlers in the Buff to a slew of morning shows - talk about a pick-me-up.)<br />
<br />
We held the shoot in semi-privacy, but still caught some coworkers sneaking glances on their way to the water cooler.

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">RA Sushi was prepared with DJ beats, fun basketball games, 4 Orange Premium Vodka tastings, and, of course, more than 75 Tootsy Maki rolls waiting to be consumed. As the competitors came in, each received a RA Sushi T-shirt, sweatbands and a number to pin to their shirt, on which competitors wrote monikers like “Trashcan,” “Kamikazeeee,” “Sushi Anonymous,” and even “Not A Good Idea.” When the competition began, they soon found out that they needed more than a clever name to win.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-88uxKplU0u0/TZIwkWGt20I/AAAAAAAAAsY/S3ZbCv7rqT0/s1600/IMG_6668.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-88uxKplU0u0/TZIwkWGt20I/AAAAAAAAAsY/S3ZbCv7rqT0/s320/IMG_6668.jpg" width="240" /></a>The rules of the competition were simple: Each contestant receives two Tootsy Maki rolls and a glass of water. The first to finish their two rolls (down to the very last piece of rice) move on to the next round. After scarfing down Tootsy Maki rolls at top speed, the top four who finished in each heat moved on to the second round. <br />
<br />
The competition was getting intense, with two heats of four letting the top two move on to the placing rounds. The competition was now down the top four speediest sushi eaters. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We were soon going to find out who was moving on to the final championship round. Contestant number 7, Chris “Trashcan”, and number 8, “Hartzey,” were beating out the competition. For the time it took other contestants to finish one roll, they finished two. When it came down to the championship round, we knew the competition would be fierce. Or so we thought. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4VjIQSmnpvI/TZIwGIQG94I/AAAAAAAAAsE/Lx4I-T6VTmI/s1600/IMG_2712.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4VjIQSmnpvI/TZIwGIQG94I/AAAAAAAAAsE/Lx4I-T6VTmI/s320/IMG_2712.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The final round rules were different. The last two contestants were given three glasses of water, three minutes and unlimited rolls (starting with a plate of eight). Whoever ate the most sushi in the time allotted was RA Sushi’s 1st Maki Madness Champion. Keep in mind, these men have already eaten SIX sushi rolls before the final round. That, it turns out, is all some people can handle. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NGKG18pIOlk/TZM89tfwM2I/AAAAAAAAAsk/E9D7UjXau_E/s1600/DSC_0549.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" r6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NGKG18pIOlk/TZM89tfwM2I/AAAAAAAAAsk/E9D7UjXau_E/s320/DSC_0549.JPG" width="320" /></a>The timer began, with half a sushi roll down, this so-called “Trashcan” wasn’t looking so hot. After a mere 30 seconds, the “Trashcan” slid the mountain of sushi before him over to his opponent and forfeited the Maki Madness title. The hulk of a man, “Hartzey,” became RA Sushi’s Maki Madness Champion, earning the grand prize of “Sushi for a Year.” He could put sushi away at astronomical speeds and even asked if he could have the leftovers after the competition was done!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>If you lost out on your chance to compete this year, don’t sweat it. RA Sushi will continue its Maki Madness next year. So, if “Hartzey” comes back to claim his title, you'd better be prepared. He is the official sushi king, and a force to be reckoned with. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The PBIFF opened with a bang last Wednesday, March 23, with a screening of "Win Win," Tom McCarthy's acclaimed film about "a nice-guy New Jersey lawyer whose practice is floundering, his office is falling to bits, and the high school wrestling team he coaches with curmudgeonly Vigman hasn't won a match all season." It was the perfect opening night flick: A low-key, engaging, sometimes hilarious emotional observation of several vulnerable characters (played by Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan, Burt Young, and newcomer Alex Schaffer). There was plenty to discuss at the after-party at Pura Vida Lounge & Nightclub in West Palm Beach, where the film's costar Burt Young (a.k.a Pauly from "Rocky") happened to be hanging. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

In between speeches and performances, attendees chatted around the pool, bid during a silent auction, and helped themselves to an open bar and food stations with sliders and truffle fries.</div> <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Then, before we knew it, it was closing night. After a screening of "The First Grader," the inspiring true story of an 84-year-old former prisoner who attends primary school to learn how to read, the "It's A Wrap" party was held last night at Deck 84 in Delray Beach. Gathered around Deck 84's outdoor bar, attendees sipped cocktails and discussed their favorite films from the weekend until bartenders were forced to give a last call.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Had we really not had an official Gab Night Out together since the <a href="http://thegabgroup.blogspot.com/2010/12/happy-holidays-from-gab.html">Gab Holiday Party</a>? We made up for it during this Friday's Gab Night Out, though, held at Uncle Julio's in Mizner Park. <br />
<br />
The theme was Pre Cinco de Drinko, and, yes, we are aware that Cinco de Mayo is more than a full month away. What can we say, we're ahead of the curve. And love any excuse to get together over Mexican. With that in mind, this month's appointed party committee (Sam, Steph and Jen) went to work crafting the following visually stunning, extremely high-tech invite:<br />
<br />

(Ok, we admit we don't have the skills of our design department. Moving on.)<br />
<br />
The lessons learned over the course of the evening were:<br />
<br />
If you're late, even if it's because you're meeting deadlines, you will be forced to wear a sombrero.<br />
<br />
There's no such thing as too little guacamole.<br />
<br />
After a few margaritas and mojitos, Mexican mustaches are a fantastic idea.<br />
