Downtown Restaurant

Maxine’s on Shine

Sexy, Comfortable and Delicious

As the 10th anniversary approaches for neighborhood restaurant Maxine’s on Shine, owners Maxine and Kirt Earhart are delighted to have “solidified our love affair with the community,” Kirt says. “We’re looking forward to building on that.”

Popular with locals for its warm hospitality, tasty dishes, expansive drinks menu and live entertainment, Maxine’s on Shine returns to a charming new normal as the November celebration looms. Where once there was a parking lot, there now are raised-platform “islands of safety and comfort” for alfresco dining. Just added: a covered dog run with swamp coolers and a new doggie menu for pooch pals (Maxine’s on Shine also won the top spot for Best Pet-Friendly Restaurant). Eclectic music returns with favorite musicians such as Justin Kangrga performing blues, folk and rock. Resident artist Panther Brunotte paints on site. And 80-year-old Chef George Vogelbacher whips up menu favorites like lobster ravioli, cioppino and chicken Parmesan.

Maxine, who lobbied fervently to help pass Florida’s 2018 liquor license law for smaller downtown restaurants, attributes the couple’s success to “perseverance and passion.” Her flair for design gives the dining room its homey ambiance. “We invite you to Maxine’s like you would invite someone to the parlor of your home,” she says. “We wanted to build the kind of restaurant that we’d like to hang out at: sexy, comfortable and delicious.” —Jennie Hess

Chocolate Shop

Peterbrooke Chocolatier of Winter Park

Sweet Success

An admitted chocoholic, Kevin Wray appears to have found his true calling as co-owner of Peterbrooke Chocolatier of Winter Park. He and his wife, Jami, opened their Park Avenue shop in 2001 and have continued to push the envelope creatively ever since. “Jami has added more things to the Peterbrooke menu as a whole than the company has in the last 12 years,” Wray says. “She’s always on trend, but not trendy.” One of their enduring fan favorites is chocolate-covered bacon. “Jami insisted I come up with the recipe for one reason only: So we could call it ‘Kevin’s Bacon,’ ” he laughs. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the shop is offering crew members’ favorites, such as Frito bark, chocolate-dipped peach rings, a chocolate-dipped Mexican coconut cookie, and chocolate-covered peanut butter Ritz-style crackers. Behind all the unusual combinations is an ethically sourced, high-quality Swiss-style chocolate that tastes less bitter than typical dark chocolate. “We have our own proprietary blend. Swiss chocolate is a little heavier on cocoa butter content and a little bit lighter on the solids, so it’s creamier and smoother. We’ll put our chocolate up against anybody’s. It’s just hard to beat.” —Cheri Henderson
