Gulfshore Business is a more-than-10,000-circulation

business-to-business magazine serving Lee, Collier and

Charlotte counties in Southwest Florida. OUR MISSION IS TO EDUCATE OUR READERS—DECISION MAKERS, EXECUTIVES, ENTREPRENEURS—

through our four pillars: to provide valuable, specific relevant

how-to advice; to explain issues and people of the day; to

tap into the aspirational aspect that drives business people;

and to highlight best practices. We accomplish this through

our features and a variety of departments, which include

profiles of local CEOs and companies, success stories of

entrepreneurs and long-form articles on regional topics such

as economic development, health care, higher education

and the environment. We also run pieces that provide a bit

of entertainment, including a photo essay of the after-hours

passions (hobbies) of business people and a dining review.

mission of modernized Indian fare through a helping of sticky sweet-and-spicy nuggets highlighting China’s influence on the subcontinent.

Best use of half a pound of bacon: The World Health Organization may have told us to eat processed meat sparingly, but make an exception for the BLT at Naples’ Bill’s Café, which takes an often sad, soggy, barely there sandwich and transforms it into a superstar. Nine slices of the cured meat prop up the thick, toasted bread to the point that you have to stretch your mouth to its limit to take a bite.

Best way to wine down: Booze has been mixed into desserts for years, from overly sweet liqueur chocolates to pretty decent rum cake. An ice cream parlor in Fort Myers, Sandbar Breeze, however, is kicking it up a notch. A good portion of the 15 or so sorbet flavors incorporate either wine (its raspberry-shiraz is refreshing and sultry at once) or something stronger (like the margarita with a

hint of tequila).

Best substitute for Sunday supper: In Italian households where Grandma makes the red sauce, it’s hard to find another source that’s up to snuff. At Osteria Celli in Fort Myers, the pasta is made fresh and has the necessary al dente bite, and the sauce is a sumptuous marriage of quality tomatoes and just-plucked herbs.

Best news for folks who want to drink well and eat very well: Somewhere in the past year or so, we saw the surge of the gastropub, a beer-focused bar serving gourmet food. At times, it feels more like a restaurant (TAG: The American Gastropub, Estero), and at others it can translate to a heavier emphasis on craft cocktails rivaling those in any big city (Bar Tulia, Naples). Or, it channels an off-grid, casual restaurant with awesome food and a bonus of great beer (Zen Asian BBQ, Naples, and BRB Gastropub, Fort Myers).

Best way to please your inner devil and angel: Something we all struggle with (unless you’re a robot) is how to make healthy choices. But when you go out, you usually just want something decadent. The owners of the catering company Service by Jordan opened the Garden Cafe in Bonita with a genius concept—the breakfast and lunch menus are split in two, each having a side of “lighter fare” and one of “local favorites” (a gentler way to say “splurges”).

Best rule breaking: We’ve seen quite a few people take risks over the past couple of years, and the dining public is reaping the rewards. Paradise Wine in Naples built a specialty wine store with a bar and Harold Balink downsized to a 38-seater in Fort Myers, Harold’s, for personal happiness, and his food is reflecting it.

Best dessert for breakfast: If ooey-gooey frosting is at the top of your cheat list for breakfast, go right away to Restoratives Café in Estero. The owner’s family recipe for piping-hot, sugary cinnamon rolls is hands-down the best on the Paradise Coast.

Best “it” food ’hood: South Cape Coral, no question. From a Michelin-trained chef running The Office to the wood-burning grill and oven behind Seven Oaks, plus old favorites like Nice Guys, Fathom’s, Slate’s and Rumrunners, niche eateries

and watering holes (like The Boathouse and a new brewpub from Wicked Dolphin) are being added at an exponential pace.

Best teacher’s pet: When chef Mike

Mueller revamped Lurcat’s menu, people were impressed by the ambition of the

endeavor—two-thirds of the Naples

restaurant’s dishes change every two months.

The Voyage selections, a romp through whatever culinary

territory Mueller is intrigued by at the moment, have become such a surprise and delight. His degree is from the Culinary Institute of America, and he trained under Andrew Carmellini and worked his way through the kitchens of Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s empire.

We love Gulfshore Business because it specifically targets the business leaders in our community. It’s a publication people actually want to read because it focuses on our

local businesses; because of that we have had great results!

The advertising programs that Gulfshore Business offers have helped me grow our cus-tomer base for Shula’s Naples. They have delivered the greatest results and best value. I like the level of attention they have given to my ads & press releases to maximize my

exposure. I highly recommend Gulfshore Business for any of your marketing needs.JEFF JEROME

GARY TRIPPEOswald Trippe &

Company

BB&T/Oswald Trippe and Company has had an advertising presence in Gulfshore Business since 2001 which has consistently helped us increase exposure and

brand recognition throughout Southwest Florida. We appreciate our working relationship with the team at this award-winning publication and look forward to

a lasting and prosperous business relationship.

Henderson, Franklin, Starnes & Holt, P.A. has partnered with Gulfshore Business magazine for over a decade to help us reach Southwest Florida business owners and professionals. It is a publication we rely on to stay up to date on local industry news

and enjoy stories on local industry leaders. There are very few publications I person-ally read cover to cover, but Gulfshore Business magazine is one of them!

GAIL LAMARCHEDirector of Marketing,Henderson,

Franklin, Starnes & Holt, P.A.

Gulfshore Business gives me great content each month on local and trending topics in the business community, from feature articles on key business components and prac-tices to information on companies and individuals influencing the Southwest Florida business scene. As an advertiser, I know the audience I want to reach is the audience

this publication serves. It’s the go-to local business magazine.

THEO ETZELCEO, Conditioned

Air Company

We believe our sponsorship with “40 Under 40” represents an excellent opportuni-ty to reach the vital demographic of rising business leaders in Southwest Florida. These young executives are proven “movers and shakers” within Lee and Collier

counties, and are certain to continue their influence in the future.STACEY T. MERCADO
