June and July were record breaking months for sports, especially when it involved girls fastpitch, boys baseball or UCA cheerleading camps. The number of participants in each continues to show that Panama City Beach is the destination of choice for travel ball teams and cheer groups. Over the two months USFA produced 545 teams, Grand Slam 425, and there were seven cheer/dance camps. The USSSA boys baseball and USS- SA adult softball programs produced an additional 90 teams. During the month of August, the USSSA Military World Tournament returned to Frank Brown Park; last year 84 teams representing most of the major bases from throughout the U.S. participated. Also returning to FBP was the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team, representing numerous military affiliates including American Legion, Soldiers’ Angels, Bereaved Military Families of America, Navy FCU, DRASH, USAA, and Air Force Reserve Command.

u Out & About Biggest Loser RunWalk Event Hosted in PCB Tweet it! – Start 2013 off on the right foot in @ PCBeach with the Biggest Loser RunWalk; visitpanamanacitybeach.com. On December 30, visitors and locals can hit the ground running at the inaugural The Biggest Loser Half Marathon and 5K Run- Walk. Panama City Beach has partnered with Dan and Jackie Evans, season five contestants on NBC’s hit show “The Biggest Loser,” to offer the RunWalk as a non-intimidating environment for all participants, with longer course time limits to allow walkers to complete the race at their own pace. “We are very excited to welcome Dan and Jackie Evans and The Biggest Loser Run- Walk event,” said Dan Rowe, President and CEO of the Panama City Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Our community wholeheartedly supports healthy living, and we hope this event will inspire visitors to remain active during their travels and throughout the year ahead.” Participants can celebrate the completion of this fun and challenging RunWalk at Panama City Beach’s Fifth Annual Beach Ball Drop on New Year’s Eve at Pier Park, during which an 800-pound glowing beach ball descends to signify the New Year. Earlier in the evening a family ball drop is held, consisting of 10,000 inflatable beach balls dropped from the sky, as well as a fireworks display.

Chef Paul from Firefly Feeds Team USA at Olympics Preparing a luncheon for 200 or a dinner for 800 takes a seasoned chef. When it’s done for the closing ceremony dinner of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, this year held in London, England, it takes culinary brilliance. Chef Paul Stellato, Executive Chef at Firefly restaurant in Panama City Beach, was chosen among thousands of regional chefs to participate in this special affair. Originally from New Haven, Connecticut, Chef Paul moved to South Florida at 13 where he started his restaurant career as a dishwasher. He later moved to Northwest Florida and worked his way up, eventually becoming Executive Chef at Canopies in Panama City. In 2007, he opened Firefly, infusing his unique French Floridian style of cuisine. Two groups of chefs, four in each group, prepared dinner for the athletes and crew of Team USA on August 12. Paul’s group included chefs from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Each chef was responsible for a different category; Chef Paul’s was “Fin Fish.” For that he chose a signature Firefly dish: Sautéed Gulf Grouper with shallots, fresh corn, grape tomatoes, sherry cream and lump crab sauce. “We couldn’t be more proud of Paul for being a part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Firefly owner Dave Trepanier. “We’ve always known Chef Paul is a oneof-a-kind chef, and are thrilled he can use his talents for the nation’s best athletes.” Photo courtesy of Linda Lucas Photography Paradise Bar & Grill Opens Panama City Beach’s newest restaurant, the Paradise Bar & Grille, is located directly opposite the Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort on Front Beach Road. This great location, just steps away from the famous sugar white sand of Panama City Beach, makes it extremely convenient for all guests of the hotel plus anyone with an appetite who isn’t currently staying at the Sandpiper. Daryl Miller, owner of the Paradise Bar & Grille, moved to Panama City Beach from Colquitt, Georgia, a small town that is big in the arts. There he owned and operated Daryl’s Place, an eatery famous for its pizza, subs and appetizers. His business partner knew the Hundley family in Panama City Beach, and knew they were looking for the right person to reopen the restaurant on their property. In the early fall of 2011, Daryl came down and met with the family; they mutually decided it was the right fit. “Everyone told me this was a great opportunity in a great location,” says Daryl. Within weeks Daryl began assembling his top-notch team. His kitchen manager, Joey Martinez, studied at the American Culinary Federation Continued on Page 82 Dan and Jackie Evans are best known as the popular mother-son team featured on season five of NBC’s hit reality show, where they lost a combined 225 pounds. Since then, Dan and Jackie have honored their commitment to keep the weight off by living a healthy lifestyle, and together completed over 20 half marathons in 2011 alone.
