Aside from totally deleting my Facebook account forever today I’m reading about how Huawei was hacked by the NSA’s TAO division. Which is incidentally my and my dad’s initials. I really can’t tell if this is why the head of hikvision was surfing my linked in. Some fashion chain I applied for two years ago keeps viewing my resume on LinkedIn too sporadically. So maybe it’s spooky action at a distance. Coincidentally it’s also the name of an Asian Bistro club in Chicago. But if you read the Wikipedia for the office of tailored access operations it reads like a hippie got high and created a government agency. Shit like quantum cookie, foxacid, and the chaos communications Congress from Hamburg Germany. Talk about an exotic burger. I never hacked into anything. I’m always the one who gets hacked. Mostly in real life by dumb bozos masquerading as nationalist revolutionaries. But for the record, I would definitely take my wife’s name in marriage to clear up any ambiguity in being associated with a government whose operations are as messy as the first arc of Jojo’s bizarre adventure. 🤷‍♀️

03/2017 | Secrets From the Highest-Grossing Restaurant in New York

BLOOMBERG | KATE KRADER | MARCH 21, 2017

An empire built on Tao-tinis and sea bass satay.

If there’s a venture with a projected shelf life of five minutes, it’s a nightlife restaurant in New York’s Meatpacking District. The exception? Tao Downtown. Since it opened in 2013, with heavy wooden doors that look like they were airlifted in from an ancient Chinese fort, the temple to Pan-Asian-style food and drinks has been a prime Manhattan destination for athletes, celebrities, and businessmen and women waving corporate cards to out-of-town families.

Alcohol makes up more than 50 percent of sales at Tao Downtown, an astounding number compared with the typical 20-plus percent elsewhere.  Source: TAO Downtown

Each night, some 1,200 people stream through the David Rockwell-designed, 22,000-square-foot, bilevel maze of dark wood-paneled rooms decorated with candles and giant Buddhas. The 300-seat dining room is massive by New York standards; the new Union Square Cafe, also designed by Rockwell, seats about 90. Tao Downtown estimates it did more than 220,000 covers (aka customers) in 2016—significantly more than the population of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood. There’s almost always a line to get into the adjoining nightclub.

According to an annual survey by Restaurant Business, Tao posted almost $34 million in food and beverage sales in 2016. That’s the highest-ranking spot for a non-chain restaurant in New York, and the third-highest in the U.S. What’s in first place? Tao Asian Bistro in Las Vegas, where total sales were just shy of $48 million. Third place is actually a decline for Tao Downtown; in 2015 the club claimed the list’s No. 2 spot with $38 million in sales. (This year, second place went to the venerable Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami.) Even so, Tao Group dominates the 2016 list; another of its New York restaurants, Lavo, came in sixth with sales of $27.5 million. Tao Uptown, with $23 million in sales, came in 11th.

In February, Tao Group announced a partnership with the Madison Square Garden Co., which acquired a 62.5 percent stake in the company for $181 million. This month, industry insiders say Tao will also be taking over the space on the second floor of 130 E. 57th St. that housed Frederick Lesort’s restaurant lounge Opia. Meanwhile, Tao itself is expanding: In April it will open its first locations in Los Angeles, a complex adjacent to the Dream Hotel in Hollywood. The group has plans for additional U.S. cities and Asia, as well.

How does Tao stay ahead of the game and keep making money? Rich Wolf, one of Tao Group’s co-founders (along with Marc Packer, and partners Noah Tepperberg and Jason Strauss), gave me a behind-the-scenes tour of the place. He was joined by Tao Downtown’s general manager, Tony Oswain, and chef/partner Ralph Scamardella. Here are their secrets.

Be a One-Stop Shop

Rule No. 1 at Tao: Don’t give guests a reason to leave. Most people will spend at least a drink’s worth of time at the softly lit, brick-walled Ink Bar in what’s called the Eastern Mezzanine before heading down the grand staircase to a dining room, where a DJ spins in the background. Then they can move to the perennially packed club, where the roster of acts includes Tiësto, Lorde, Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, and the ubiquitous Questlove. It’s easier to gain entrance if you’re coming from dinner, the team confirms. Tao’s kitchen is open until 2 a.m.; the club closes at 4.

The group will stay true to the formula at its coming Los Angeles home. The Dream Hotel will include Tao Asian Bistro, Beauty & Essex (another of its empire builders), and a brand-new concept, Luchini Pizzeria & Bar. Here’s how Wolf sees it: “We’ve built several concepts on one block—two restaurants, plus the Highlight Room on the roof with a club and a pool. You can take an Uber over in the afternoon, then roll from the pool to the restaurant to the club. And stay in the hotel if you don’t feel like going home.”

Create a Dining Destination

“The beauty of Tao is that you can order two sushi rolls or go all out and have an $800 live crab,” says Oswain. Most people don’t order that live crab: The average check is $75. Still, there’s an audience for pricier entrees, like a recent surf-and-turf special of Japanese wagyu with African prawns the size of lobsters. They sell for $150 each, and the restaurant usually processes 25 orders of the dish per night.

One fact that doubters overlook: The food at Tao is good. Scamardella makes regular trips to Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo in search of inspiration. “People don’t come here for basic fried rice,” the chef says. (He adds barbecue duck and lobster with kimchi to his.) Scamardella calls his food “as chopstick-friendly as possible,” which makes diners more inclined to share and invariably pushes up check averages. The one dish you’ll find on almost every table is the $23 miso-glazed Chilean sea bass satay. “It’s the dish that built the empire,” says Wolf. Chef Scamardella estimates Tao Downtown sells 700 orders a night and goes through about 2,500 pounds of sea bass per week.

Embrace Convention

You won’t find a daily changing special at Tao; instead, Scamardella plans his menus ahead. “We don’t do specials based on what’s at the market or what we have left over,” he says. Rather, he orders ingredients such as Japanese beef way ahead to run as an off-the-menu. Conventions have a big effect on his calendars of specials. “In January they release the convention schedule,” Scamardella says. “If one of the big conventions is in town—the construction and concrete guys spend a lot of money—I know we’ll be having some big-ticket specials, and I order accordingly.”

Crowd Control

The Tao Group knows its audience, and it knows their schedules. Mondays and Tuesdays, the Tao Downtown crowd can comprise up to 80 percent people with corporate cards, according to Wolf. “But it changes by the hour,” he notes. “As it gets later, the suits and ties disappear.” The biggest spending days are Wednesday and Thursday; Saturdays and Sundays are the lightest. “That’s the bridge-and-tunnel crowd,” says chef Scamardella. “People come in to celebrate, but they spend less money.”

Drinking Up

Alcohol makes up a little more than 50 percent of Tao’s sales, a huge number compared with percentages in the 20s at most other places. Ryan Arnold, wine director of the Chicago-based Lettuce Entertain You restaurant group, puts it into perspective: “Tao’s drinks numbers are insane. They’re the stuff of legend in the restaurant world. At our places, I’m happy when I see alcohol percentage in the mid-20s. I dream about a number like 32 percent.” Drinks in Tao’s bar and restaurant, like the best-selling vodka-based Ruby Red Dragon or the Tao-tini, cost $17—not an outrageous price, at least by the standards of New York cocktail lounges. How are they hitting their mark? The sheer volume helps—these are crowd-pleasing, guzzler-style beverages—as do club sales: Drinks are closer to $20 there, and bottle service ranges from about $250 to $290 a person.

Avoid Undesirable Associations

Wolf is adamant about one thing: Tao Downtown is not technically in the Meatpacking District, where the official northern boundary is 14th Street. (Tao is on 16th, just off Ninth Avenue.) Tao benefits from first-time visitors who are headed to the neighborhood to party, as well as from regulars who know it’s easy to get to. “The Meatpacking District is a quagmire,” says Wolf. “You get stuck in it, and you say, ‘I’m not going back there.’ Tao is easy in and easy out.’”

Tao is bringing the party to Los Angeles.  Source: TAO

The Celebrity Factor

“Capital didn’t have a lot to do with it,” Wolf says about the recent deal with Madison Square Garden. “A lot of our venues are driven by celebrities.  If someone has a concert at MSG, they’ll come here to party. Plus there’s synergy. MSG has venues all over the place. They’re building an arena in Vegas near the Sands. Imagine what can happen at Marquee.” Following the L.A. opening, Tao has deals in place at the Sands in Singapore, where the group will open a nightclub and a couple of restaurants in 18 months. And the co-founders are employing their hub strategy elsewhere in the U.S. In early 2018 they’ll open a Tao and a new concept in Chicago. Further into the future? “Miami is probably the only other U.S. city we’d look at,” says Wolf.

LAVO Restaurant, Marina Bay Sands Singapore

LAVO Restaurant, Marina Bay Sands Singapore

Design: ICRAVE

Location: Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

ICRAVE collaborates with TAO Group Hospitality to bring the LAVO brand to life in Singapore. Perched 57 stories atop the roof of the iconic Marina Bay Sands, LAVO Singapore is the third outpost of the wildly successful Italian-American restaurant concept based in New York and Las Vegas, and marks TAO’s first venture in Asia.

ICRAVE was tasked with designing an environment that evoked a centuries-old Italian bistro, but without feeling out of place in such a futuristic location. Designed as a series of rooms that provide a warm backdrop for brunch, a cocktail, vibe dining, or even a big night out, LAVO seamlessly switches from restaurant to lounge to nightclub.

The design of the space draws on ICRAVE’s design for LAVO New York. Reclaimed subway tile, custom-painted and aged light fixtures, antique mirrors, tobacco-stained plaster, and warm, brick-lined interiors create the feeling that the restaurant has been there for centuries, and also establishes a connection with its North American outposts.

To celebrate its new location above Marina Bay Sands’ cantilevered sky garden, however, LAVO Singapore features floor-to-ceiling windows that offer guests panoramic views of Singapore’s skyline. The design also highlights LAVO Singapore’s greenery and open views, with a sprawling terrace and lush garden entrance, framed by a light timber trellis.

LAVO Singapore is anchored with two bars, one inside and one outside, which allows for cocktails and views throughout the space. A fully-equipped DJ booth sits between the lounge and the dining area, allowing guests to take in the music anywhere in the space. Custom branded sightseeing binoculars, a LAVO-branded Instagram sculpture, and a custom gelato cart complete the vibe-dining experience.

ICRAVE’s design leverages this unique location, creating a space that maximizes the view of the city while still staying true to the LAVO brand’s ambience and concept. At 57 stories above ground with 180 degree views of the city, LAVO is the ideal place to take in the Singapore skyline.

Holiday Solo Travel-5 Personal Ideas

    “Home Alone” for the Holidays may not be your goal. There is still time to create an incredible year-end option. I thought back on 5 spectacular holidays I have taken and can highly recommend:

  1. Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA: +:

You will find a warm Southwest culture. The backdrop of snow is almost sure to provide a “White Christmas” There are multiple options for great lodging/spas. Native handicrafts and unique jewelry give you lots to choose from. You will see much local fine dining and small bistros for meals. If you are an intrepid driver, you can get a ski day at Taos. Non-skier? You can make a day trip to state parks like Hyde Memorial State Park.

  2. Quebec City, Canada: +:

It has the great atmosphere of Renaissance Europe with strolling choristers in the Old City. You will find a true “White Christmas” with multiple activities from dog sledding, one of my favorites, skiing nearby, tobogganing/sledding and ice skating or swim indoors overlooking the quaint low-rise skyline. You will have ample choices for fine dining and casual bistro options at very attractive prices. Horse-drawn carriages for historic tours of the walled city will be available. In the charming shops, you will see everything from luxury items to tee-shirts with a loveable moose! For USA visitors, there is a favorable rate of exchange and only short distance to travel.

  3. Big Sky Montana, USA: +:

Southwest hospitality provides an informal, friendly atmosphere. You will find real convenience and service from pick-up at the airport to departure (do reserve a spot)! You will be able to ski almost from your doorstep with emphasis on the advanced levels but patient lessons for those of us “Intermittent Intermediates”. Nightlife and restaurants will abound for apres-ski. Better pricing is available than in many other ski resorts. You will have the option of day trips to Yellowstone ( Learn to say “bison” not “buffalo”!).

  4. SE Asia River Cruise: +:

This was one of my best holidays ever. I went solo to Siem Reap, Cambodia and then caught a Mekong River Cruise to Vietnam and traveled on solo to Bangkok. Aside from airfare, even 4-5-star Asian hotels are much less than in many parts of the world. Service is impeccable. Coming from the US, I found the uniqueness within the region fascinating. Fashionalistas will love Thai silk and be pleased at the well-priced jewelry in Cambodia. If you don’t like to shovel snow or shiver in below freezing weather, Dec.-Jan. in SE Asia is ideally warm for eating al fresco and touring without being too hot.

  5. Amazon Adventure: +:

If you love adventure, going upriver on the Amazon in Brazil as I did for Christmas 2013 is perfect. On a small boat holding only 15 guests, we started Christmas Day at a Portuguese colonial village in ruins, met local villagers and had a swim in the Amazon River. Bird watchers will be elated to see the number of species inhabiting the low marshlands. Hikers and ecotourists will marvel at the untouched rainforest upriver.  On many treks, we followed our guides who cut a way for us with a machete to go where no one had ever tread (or not recently)! If you start and finish with a day in Manaus, the capital of Amazonas, you can get acquainted with wildlife in local reserves not easily seen in the dense rainforest. There are opportunities to visit remote villages and see and purchase local handicrafts. I still have to laugh when I receive compliments on my “purchases from the Amazon”. Generally, the response is “Yes, I really like to shop at Amazon.com, too.” For US residents, the travel is easy with a flight to Manaus non-stop which is much shorter than traveling to most of Europe!

Please let me know your personal holiday recommendations at: Contact Solo Trekker 4 U. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

#The #Passion #of #Pomegranates #bfirstapparel #farmasi #fashionblog #girlfriend #instamakeup #instapic #makeover #modelling #pled #water

Why are we so enthusiasmate concerning Pomegranates? They are bizarre searching, pricey, difficult to spell, difficult to eat and messy; the juice will stain almost everything aspherical you; particularly your mouth, your fingers and your cwhole lothes. But, much of the inhabitants seems to be to be ingesting in, decorating with, smearing on and salivating earlier mentioned this peculiar fruit in one way or an additional. If ever there ended up this kind of a thing as a designer fruit, the Pomegranate would be it. No fruit has completed far more to substitute the planet of produce than the Pomegranate and even more amazing is its far-obtaining approval.

A native of Persia, the Pomegranate is one of the oldest end result acknowledged to man and its origins can be traced back again to almost 4000 B.C. Due to the fact its humble beginnings, this historical fruit has been shrouded in controversy, intrigue and imageism. Historians feel the Pomegrante, not the apple, was the forbidden fruit that tempted Eve on that fateful working day in the Backyard of Eden. During its hitale, the Pomegranate has experienced a significant influence on faith, mythology, art and literature and it has influenced a lot of poets, composers, painters and sculptors to create amazing operates. The title “Pomegranate” is derived from the Heart French phrases, pomme and garnete, which interprets to seeded apple, and owing its’ over abundance of seeds, and rounded form, the Pomegranate has lengthy been a symbol of fertility and new existence.

These days the Pomegranate is symbolic of good flavor and good health. Whilst it is currently making the most of a super-meal superstar popularity, after it originally resurfaced, and was nominated as “fruit of the yr” in The Top American Recipes 1999; most assumed it was absolutely nothing more than a passing trend however in accordance to the Countrywide Cafe Affiliation, Pomegranates are nonetheless a sizzling food vogue for 2007. “There is certainly no denying that the pomegranate has designed a replaceation for currently being elegant,” mentioned Pam Holmgren, Boss of Company Communications at Pom Fantastic in Los Angeles. “The Pomegranate is highly regarded not entirely for its taste but for its many health positive aspects, which helps make it not only trendy, but a rediscovery that is here to remain.”

Just before Pom Wonderful’s launching of its intense market placeing marketing campaign in 2002, most People in america had minor body of reference with the elusive Pomegranate. It had been significantly underutilized and was most frequently viewed as a garnish, centerpiece or table accessory. But thanks to POM’s thorough exposure on the candy-tart essence and dietary benefit of Pomegranates, Americans are embracing this now popular fruit and integrating it into their resides. The Pomegranate has become the most functional produce on the planet; lending its unique taste, beautiful coloration and luscious scent to everything from burritos to human body butter. Its uniqueness and independence makes it fun to experiment with, and because of its brilliant shade of red, crunchy texture and intense flavor, anything manufactured with Pomegranate makes a assertion which is why arbiters of taste like Starbucks and Oprah, and cooks and residence cooks include additional this vibrant and curious fruit to their culinary repertoires.

Barbara Hulick CEC, Director of Functions for Clean Cuts at Purchase Fresh Income in Las Vegas, grew up on Pomegranates. “I was excited when Pomegranates made a comeback, not only as a produce seller but because they taste so good and they are so good for you. Pomegranates are the new ‘cranberry’. Many years back, cranberries and cranberry juice were all the rage because of the taste and wholesome qualities, and now, with all the buzz about anti-oxidants, the Pomegranate is the ‘prince among produce’. During period, we’ve a substantial call for them from the Accommodations for their dining establishments and banquet centers, and as well from a lot of neighborhood locations about city, and because you can freeze them clean, you can enjoy the seeds and the juice year round”.

With the greater commonity of the Pomegranate, it is regrettable that they’ve such a brief shelf. Dependent on in which you live, this “Jewel of Winter season”, is cultivated in hotter climates globally and is only obtainable fresh about 6 months out of the year; from August to November or Oct to January but for the duration of that time you can uncover them in appetizers to desserts and everything in in between. “I love cooking with fresh Pomegranates”, said Chef Mark Hopper, Chef de Delicacies, from Bouchon; Chef Thomas Keller’s award-successful Bistro in the Venetian Hotel. “They are extremely healthier and versatile, and they provide added dimension to any dish. Fresh Pomegranates are a labor of love but well worth the energy. After they’re in season, I use them in assorted dishes, especially in our house made Duck Prosciutto made with Marshall Farms Honey Roasted Quince. Luckily, the juice can be appreciated year round in such savory liquids as marinades, dressings, glazes and sauces. The Pomegranate has done much to change the world of cooking; it has an outstanding flavor mix and it enables chefs like me to create new dishes with great preferences and beautiful shows”.

Aside from its taste, vibrant color and health-protective outcomes, men and women are romantic about the Pomegranate for its aphrodisiacs properties. Meal and sexual intercourse often go hand-in-hand and taking in a succulent Pomegranate in the uncooked or introducing it to foodstuff and beverages can be a recipe for romance. Depending on the dimensions, this apple look-alike, with its leathery pores and skin and distinctive crown, can hang up to 800 seeds; the heavier it is, the more juice it consists of and as this juice oozes out; the sweet and tangy flavor combination will explode in your mouth and wake up your taste buds. “The pomegranate is one of the sexiest foods on earth”, said Amy Reiley, Learn of Gastronomy from Le Cordon Bleu and the writer of Daily life of Reiley. “Its crimson shade is the color of prefer. They’re messy and sticky, and because there is certainly no other way to eat a pomegranate than with your fingers, the act of consuming the juicy little seeds gets a sensuous act of perform”.

In purchase to attract the calls for of the more subtle, urbane and health-mindful consumer, food manureal truthurers need to continually develop new and innovative goods. Present day complicated consumers are looking to whet their appetites with a little of the unique, erotic and imprecise, and they are strenuous liquid libations that are aesthetically tasty, refreshing and “healthy”. The Pomegranate is all of people stuff combined and that heightens its appeal. As this “hot food trend” proceeds to effect the beverage industry, bartenders throughout the place are mixing, shaking and stirring up an assortment of innovative cocktails with the hugely mixable and extremely versatile Pomegranate juice.

Its sweet taste with a tangy kick infuses well with a range of spirits, delicate beverages and other juices. “There are a couple of factors why the use of Pomegranates have become so popular in drinks”, said Chef Matthew Silverman of Agave; the wonderfully modern day and first Mexican Restaurant in Summerlin. “The 1st is the fact that they are perceived as being healthy, even though most are combined with sugar and alcoholic beverages. The belief of drinking anything that is good for you whilst still getting to drink your alcoholic beverage is the main reason that it has become popular.

My mom stopped getting them for me and I turned very frustrated, it was so, so unfortunate. Then one day I observed them when I was at the market with my Father.
