A Twist on French
We already know them for their fries, kisses, berets and baguettes. Now, get a handle on French hair accessories. Exit Art’s plethora of pieces by Laurent Olivier adds a level of ooh la la that scrunchies and Goody bands could only hope to replicate. Butterfly headbands that don’t pinch, filigree barrettes with patented clasps and effortless side combs come styled with that other uncanny French trait—simple sophistication.
Exit Art, 201 Gulf of Mexico Dr., Ste. 8, Longboat Key, 941-387-7395; 5380 Gulf of Mexico Dr., Ste. 102, Longboat Key, 941-383-4099; 26 North Blvd. of Presidents, Sarasota, 941-388-2827; 7480 Cortez Rd. W., Bradenton, 941-794-2540

EXHIBIT: “Outside Looking In” Opening Reception, Art Center Sarasota, 5—7pm
Art Center Sarasota presents a new exhibition in five galleries entitled, “Outside Looking In.” This exhibit explores how artists see the world, and how the world sees them and their subjects. All three curated exhibits feature artists that are labeled “outsiders” because their work is not considered mainstream. Two of the exhibits focus on mental health issues. The NAEMI exhibit showcases Latino artists that are mentally ill. The Quilts of Gees Bend displays a selection of functional quilts inspired by African heritage. Observer and the Observed is a collaboration between Art Center Sarasota and the Suncoast Partnership for Children’s Mental Health, which brings artists together with families of children that have mental health issues. The artists get to know the families and create multimedia portraits based on their observations. The opening reception for the exhibit is this evening, beginning at 5pm, and it is free and open to the public. Art Center Sarasota, 707 North Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, 941-365-2032.

Welcome to the Club
The turkey club has proved to be a faithful mainstay on menus since the dawn of time—it seems like that, at least. But the time has come for a new species of club to get some attention. Enter Station 400’s Fried Green Tomato Club—a sandwich topped with fried green tomatoes, crispy bacon, bibb lettuce and zesty herb aioli. Breathe deep when the waitress glides by to take your order, because this marks the most pivotal moment in the entire lunch experience. Ask for the seared tuna variety. The nutty, meaty flavor is a gratifying twist on the standard club’s protein source, and the saltiness of the bacon adds to its appeal. The tuna plays off the zing of the garlic in the herb aioli, especially when captured in the same bite as a lush fried green tomato. Club lovers, we promise we will overlook it if you choose to remain faithful to the traditional turkey. Just make sure that tuna at least crosses your mind when eating a club at Station 400.
