from red, irritated eyes," he adds. He says recent discoveries reveal that dry eye disease is a form of blepharitis, a chronic inflammatory condition caused by a bacterial biofilm that accumulates on everyone's eyelids to some degree. If this biofilm can be eliminated, the glands that make tears can recover and symptoms can be eliminated. Dr. Rynerson, the developer of this new treatment protocol, lectures around the world to teach doctors how to fix dry eye disease by performing a BlephEx procedure, followed by the new Alcon ILux procedure.

FOOD & WINE (CONTINUED)

“We knew importers with extensive Italian wine lists in America, for example, but they weren’t physically located in Nashville. Getting Italian wines during the pandemic from warehouses in New Jersey, New York and California became tricky,” he adds. “Local distributors eventually embraced the idea of securing more rare, controlled wines for us.” Next, Tony and his team worked on securing other genuine products direct from Italy, such as ParmigianoReggiano. “All the effort paid off in getting the right ingredients into Nashville, because diners really enjoy the in-house pastas we make. We’re just being ourselves, preparing food like they would in Rome, not trying to conform to any other types of menus, and people seem to appreciate that,” he says. One of Yolan’s most popular dishes, Tony says, is a breaded veal chop, the Cotoletta alla Milanese. He says the run-away success ingredient, however, is white truffles from Northern Italy. “They are incredibly rare, found in the wild and can’t be replicated. Their aroma and flavor are intoxicating, and we sell out quickly when we have them.” (Inside tip: White trufChef Tony Mantuano and Cathy Mantuano, food and beverage partners of The Joseph, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nashville / Photo by Haas & Haas Photography

fles are due to be received at Yolan starting in October and only run through December.) Tony’s recommendation for autumn-themed palate cravings? Squash and pumpkin filled ravioli with sage brown butter sauce. Tony’s introduction to the passion of food began with his grandparents, immigrants from Italy who opened a food shop and store that he says became the gathering spot for the Italian-American community. He went on to receive 12 nominations from The James Beard Foundation, winning Best Chef Midwest in 2005. With Cathy, Tony co-authored the cookbook, Wine Bar Food, a celebration of the Mediterranean. At home, he says they prepare uncomplicated “food for the soul with incredible flavors.” Tony assures they definitely have another book or two marinating, all seasoned with abundant culinary love. “We’re also considering opening a retail/wholesale grocery store in Nashville to fill the void of authentic

WHO DOESN’T LOVE DOUGHNUTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN EACH WARM BITE IS LOADED WITH A GROOVY BURST OF FLAVOR? Peace Love and Little Donuts, founded in Pittsburgh in a tiny 209-square-foot shop in 2008, has expanded its locations across the country. Lucky for local residents, one opened in Brentwood in 2020. “Cheston [Williams] went on a business trip to Pittsburgh, and while in the Strip District, saw a sign for Maple Bacon Donuts,” says his wife and co-owner, Becky Williams. “He went into the shop, which happened to be the original Peace Love and Little Donuts, and he liked it so much, he took me to Pittsburgh to visit it. We weren’t looking to open a business, but we both liked it and thought it would be a great fit for Williamson County.” Becky describes the shop, with its retro 70s décor, as vibrant and energizing. It’s a great place for delicious and shareable doughnut experiences.

“We make our cake doughnuts, which taste great plain as well as topped, fresh throughout the day,” she says. “All of our 65-plus doughnut flavors are decorated as customers order them.” The most popular flavor is Maple Bacon, but Raspberry Lemonade, Salted Caramel Macchiato and Birthday Cake also are big hits. “Customers like the 70s musician-themed names of some of our doughnuts, such as Elvis, Snick Jagger, Almond Brothers, Heath Wind & Fire and Robert Brulee,” says Becky. In this day and age, everyone needs a little love, a little peace, and of course, a little doughnut (or two). “We love being a part of the Brentwood and Williamson County community,” she says. “We enjoy meeting customers when they come in.” To see their menu of Funkadelic and Far Out donuts, or to pick up a Disco Party box, go to PeaceLoveAndLittleDonuts.com/ locations/Brentwood.

After completing her role within the Miss USA pageant, Kristen continues to model. She also has become one of the industry’s most successful hair and makeup artists. In 2013 Kristen took charge of a small team that worked backstage doing hair and makeup at Paris Fashion Week. In addition to helping shape the designer’s vision and leading the team toward that goal, Kristen accepted the coveted role of modeling the finale dress to close the show, one of her long held dreams.

of the year that Tennessee weather makes it challenging or impossible to play golf outdoors. Michael says they particularly are “a club of clubs” in that their convenient location sits among seven country clubs so they provide a central spot for business and community leaders to meet and connect with each other. Taking part in the Sanctuary’s state-of-the-art environment also involves first-rate membership service, as well as great meals and cocktails. PGA professional Sean Wells joined the Sanctuary as director of golf to lead groups through wonderful endeavors. Additionally, Executive Chef Joey Ray was hired as the facility’s director of food and beverage to operate the commercial kitchen, sprinkling in his Napa Valley- and New York-curated practices. They can handle up to 27 golfers at a time and up to 99 total guests, including dietary restrictions. They also plan to host special events, such as wine, tequila or bourbon tastings. To that end, the facility offers a mobile app that enables members to reserve bays, select refreshments and request other details, all before arriving. During October and November, the Sanctuary team is assembling a membership wait list. One doesn’t have to be a good golfer to enjoy the experience, they assure. Billy says guests can participate in a laidback, private and non-intimidating suite in which no one is looking, judging or waiting behind for their turn as additional golfers on a course. In fact, golfers of all skill levels and guests of all ages are welcome. “We’re proud of the social, stress-free environment we’re creating. We’re a ‘yes’ type of membership model, a place to get relief from making decisions all day long. It’s about golf in some ways, but it’s not all about golf in others. We believe conversations around meals are different, and conversations around golf are different. And, we agree that family time is precious,” Billy assures. Michael adds, “We want everyone who comes to the Sanctuary to feel like they’re getting a warm hug from an old friend.” info@mygolfsanctuary.com MyGolfSanctuary.com

KITCHEN TRENDS (CONTINUED) “People are now gravitating to waterfall islands, which is where the quartz wraps all the way around the sides,” says Gabrielle. “Many of these islands also have cabinetry for storage, which is a big asset in any kitchen. And one-level islands are in, whereas tiered islands are out.” Other popular choices in the kitchen include pull-out drawers for pots and pans, as well as appliances garages. “These garages can hide your coffee maker or blender behind your cabinetry, and many times the outlet is right there, so you never have to take them out,” she says. This way, appliances are not visible or taking up space on countertops. Light fixtures also underwent a drastic change. “We’re moving away from a lot of the heavier fixtures and using more that you can see through, such as smaller pendants with glass features,” says Gabrielle. People are always surprised, she adds, how much bigger their kitchens look when they take out these bulky fixtures. It’s the same thing with pot racks. “We used to see those a lot more, but when you take them down your kitchen looks much more open.”

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., followed by personal networking. Lucy Miller, Tennessee Women Connect founder, confirms attendees of in-person networking events make genuine connections. “This event is the largest and most thorough one we’ve had about learning strategic skills, and is about truly collaborating so we can assist and cheer each other on.

ALL TICKETS INCLUDE: + Lunch by Loveless + Desserts by Gigi + Trainings and Workshops + Happy Hour Networking Author and motivational speaker, Gigi, also will be the keynote speaker of this event. She will share her story of starting a business, determination, success, and her decision to push past fear. Csilla Muscan, founder of Speak to Scale Academy, coaches women to “speak on stage,” whether an actual stage, in board rooms or on podcasts. She’s an expert on teaching how to use one’s voice to showcase and grow business. She will co-lead the social media segment. Brooke Webb, of KB Styled, had massive success using Instagram to grow her business. Brooke will work with Csilla to talk through tactical and specific examples of how to use online social media to augment business. Elizabeth Evans says organization and being productive go hand-in-hand. Elizabeth’s first expertise is in podcasts and coaching others to use them, but she has this amazing ability to help show how to be more productive with time. She will drill down on the importance of knowing where time actually should be spent to increase business. Event emcee will be Britney Campbell, Legends Bank senior vice president of marketing and public relations and the co-creator of Her Bank. Britney uses the power of intentional, authentic connection to build a bridge between women and banking beyond transactions. With her banking experience and passion for championing women, she was inspired to co-create Legends Bank’s newest brand for women, Her Bank, which launched in May.

INTERNA-

TIONAL COMMUNITY IN SOUTH NASHVILLE THROUGH CUISINE, ART AND ENTERTAINMENT. “We’re proud to showcase local, immigrant-owned and family-owned businesses,” says this Brentwood area native who attended Ravenwood High School. With family roots in Yemen, Anas’ father and two uncles purchased a Hispanic supermarket in Nashville, just before he says the local Latino population grew exponentially. He then became familiar with Nashville’s “International Corridor” off of Nolensville Road. While attending Belmont University, he served as an Airbnb experience host to share this culturally rich part of Nashville with locals and visitors. Brentwood Lifestyle enjoyed securing some of Anas’ recommendations of distinctly creative eateries to try.

dishes such as yuca fries with kimchi overtop, rice noods, Korean-fried chicken, sushi rice and rotating desserts. They claim their food will hit all taste buds. SOY CUBANO — Cuban pop-up with a regular schedule. Twists on true Latin cuisine keeps Anas returning for more. He says each dish is a must try, and that they all pack flavor. For example, they combine the magic of Mojo pork with crispy Cuban bread, ham and melty Swiss cheese to get one satisfying sanguish (sandwich). Or try a Cuban Jerk dinner.

TWO PERUVIAN CHEFS IN A TRUCK — Sometimes at Farmers Market. With fish and crab dishes to Peruvian fried rice, tacos and pork belly sandwiches, there’s a lot to try. However, Anas recommends asking the chef about the specials of the day. He especially likes ceviche or their lomo saltado for meat lovers. Drinks include Inca Kola and Chicha. CONTINUED >

This mother-daughter duo shares Taiwanese family dumpling recipes with the Nashville community.

Anas says their dumplings are super special. They also serve salted crispy chicken, scallion pancakes,

marinated cucumbers, and hot and sour soup. Don’t

forget to try Mama Yang’s Specialty Sauce on their dumplings and other delicious recipes!

SLOW BURN HOT CHICKEN — Barbecue fast food, even brunch.

They prepare hot spicy chicken at several heat levels.

Anas says it’s nice that they offer both fried and grilled options; he suggests consider ordering ahead. They also serve hot fish, shrimp, smoked chicken, fried pork, waffles and Hot Butt Sandwiches.

CAFÉ RAKKA — Live fresh, eat fresh, refreshing difference.

This family-oriented café serves Mediterranean food

with olive oil and no MSG. Anas likes its emphasis on natural, healthy eating. Everything is made fresh in-house, including yogurt and cheeses, using family recipes perfected for generations in the upper Euphrates region. Even the hummus is made fresh daily.

T r avel R ecom mend at ion s for Food ies “Slovenia borders Italy and Croatia, which is to say there are a lot of shared values in and around food; they have really great cheese, dairy, beef, pasta, but very few tourists, hardly any. So if you love Italy, that kind of specific travel and food experience, particularly Northern Italy, because you can see the Alps from where they are. It’s picture perfect, a beautiful place, and also where orange wine is from.” Dennis also highly recommends Costa Rica, Hawaii and Finland. “Most people love the idea of travel, but we tend to pick the same places when we travel, and there is nothing wrong with that, they are amazing for a reason, but when you get off the beaten path a little bit, you learn the difference between vacation and travel.” In addition to travels, Dennis is a huge advocate for supporting local businesses and the connection grilling in your own backyard can make. “Grilling is inherently communal. You talk to your neighbors, they smell it, they ask you what you’re cooking; the whole act of it is a community. One of the most common fears Dennis hears from people cooking and/or grilling at home is, ‘where do I start?’ Dennis recommends cooking the things that bring you joy — things that are on a restaurant menu you can’t NOT order because you’re so pumped that those dishes are on there. “Find the things that you love. Take the stress out of food. Feed people because all they really care about is spending time with you. Bring joy back into the kitchen.” CityLifestyle.com/Brentwood

The lemon juice still keeps that summer flavor in.
