They got weird with it, and it worked. Understory is a concept bar in the middle of a Noah's Ark-looking food hall called Sky Deck in Del Mar, where it is surrounded by nine sit-down restaurants. “Understories” are the natural world of shade-craving trees, soils, and organisms in any forest. And so, this bar—along with its own barrel-aged boozes (their Woodford Reserve is used to make a fantastic Old Fashioned)—is filled with plants and plants and plants and white pseudo-tree limbs that look both modern and apocalyptic. It has tables made out of trees millions of years old. When fossils become bars. It's the shared botanical booze vision of two San Diegans who've had success in other food realms. Scott Slater, an SDSU grad who launched his food empires in the many parking lots of Home Depots, eventually coalescing all that R&D into the better-burger enterprise known as Slater's 50/50 (half the burger patty was beef, the other half was ground up bacon—an oh-duh idea that a billion people couldn't believe they didn't think of first). He's since sold that brand and these are his new ideas. And his good friends Guillaume and Ludivine Ryon, Parisian expats who created one of the city's finest French bakeries, Le Parfait Paris. Food courts have gone ballistic. And it makes perfect sense. Meal monogamy is out. Gone is the tyranny of forcing four or six or two friends to pick one unifying restaurant that will somehow cater to all of their dinner desires (I believe that's called Cheesecake Factory, a wondrous place). With modern food courts like Sky Deck trade the Orange Julius and Cinnabons for omakase sushi spots and noodle restaurants and next-wave pizza places. Understory… well, that's just the loam moat of designer drinks in the middle of all this. And probably why it's become a hell of a first-date place in San Diego. After all, you have no idea what this new Tinder person truly wants in a meal or life, so bring them to a sea of choices and judge them by what they choose. Then un-awkward the whole night by drinking a craft cocktail in the loam. And, they have DJs (ambient chill, not oontz-oontz) on weekends. For this episode of Happy Half Hour, we sit down for drinks with Slater, Ryon, and the man who runs Understory's day-to-day, and un-awkwards a lot of lives, Mr. Chance Curtis.

Establishing insurance-linked securities (ILS) investment management operations and the impact of recent international tax developments in the industry was the focus of our latest Artemis Live video interview.  Our latest Artemis Live podcast episode is with Scott Slater of PwC, a Partner and the Tax Services Leader at PwC Bermuda. Scott also leads PwC in the Caribbean's International Tax Services group, which is based in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. In this interview we discussed some recent international tax developments and how they could affect insurance, reinsurance and also insurance-linked securities (ILS) interests. Slater explained that a key area of focus for his practice and team, in relation to insurance-linked securities (ILS) market participants, is the controlled foreign corporation (CFC) rules and the passive foreign investment company (PFIC) rules. “In the ILS space, most of these structures are either CFC's or PFIC, and our practice specialises in giving the information that those US investors need to complete their tax returns and satisfy their reporting requirements for making that foreign investment,” he said. Slater also explained that a component of the work his team at PwC undertakes is to help ILS investment managers identify the right structures for their businesses, from a taxation point of view. “It's an interesting conversation, particularly with those asset manager backed ILS vehicles, to explain to them what has to happen in Bermuda and the people they need to get in Bermuda to satisfy those requirements, to mitigate the risk that they've somehow created a taxable presence in the US. “So we work with a lot of clients around the structure, but also the people functions and the activities that need to happen from Bermuda, to achieve that tax result,” he commented.  Listen to this podcast episode for more insights from PwC Bermuda's Scott Slater.

During the pandemic, actor Matthew Arkin got a call from his dad, Alan Arkin. “My dad says, ‘Hey, you know you can make aquavit at home?'” Matthew explains, sipping a damn delicious aquavit tonic in the SDM conference room. Matthew's response was, essentially, “Uh, thanks, dad.” In Scandinavia, aquavit (the word means water of life) is everything. There are over 200 songs dedicated to it. In the U.S., it's mostly known as the stuff they drink in Scandinavia—a bracing blast of northern booze that helps wash down the pickled herring. A couple weeks went by and Matthew's dad called again. He says the thing about the aquavit again. Whether genuinely inspired or just to get his dad to shut up about it, Matthew decided to give it a go. He made a batch—a warmer, smoother version you could sip like bourbon. He stuck it in the freezer and figured he'd forget about it forever. A year later, friends intervened. Visiting one day, Marc Marosi (a stand-in for George Clooney, a dapper fellow) tasted it. Loved it. Told Matthew he could sell it. “I don't drink, but I want more of this,” Marc said at the time. So they called their old friend Bruce Glassman, a San Diego-based food and drinks writer (and former SDM beer columnist) to help perfect the recipe. After finding the perfect mix on the 22nd try, the new American aquavit—Batch 22—was born. The title is also an ode to the man whose random call started the idea, since Alan Arkin famously starred in the 1970s film, Catch 22. Was it really any good? To find out, the three friends—all now in their 60s—set out on a cross-country road trip. With a hundred mason jars full of their small-batch aquavit, they'd drive city to city and let the bartenders of America tell them if they were nuts or not. And every time, the bartenders were floored. They were also thankful it wasn't yet another tequila, another small-batch bourbon. In an evolved cocktail industry constantly looking for something new—this smooth, small-batch aquavit stands out. In just under six months, Batch 22 won several awards from across the country. It is shockingly delicious, not the aquavit most Americans know. The golden-hued spirit tastes of caraway and rye and dill and citrus. As if you liquefied a quality rye bread and put it in a bottle. According to the EU, the dominant flavor of aquavit must come from caraway and must have a minimum 37.5% ABV. Batch 22's three most prominent notes are citrus, caraway, and dill. Unlike traditional aquavit, Batch 22 is smooth, sippable, and exceptionally mixable. The three friends come into the San Diego Magazine offices for one of the more hilarious (and, at times, bawdy) episodes of HHH we've had in a long while. We assemble around the conference room, Bruce acts as bartender. We drink, we laugh. In news, Pacific Beach is getting its own al fresco food hall brought to you by food collective Mission + Garnet for a six-concept eatery from local restaurateur, Scott Slater. Perfecte Rocher has settled in as the new director of culinary operations for Consortium Holdings' most recent project: the Lafayette Hotel in North Park and the venerated golden-age hipster beacon of San Diego history. WashMobile, the family-owned spot for tortas (Mexican sandwiches), is setting up shop at NOVO Brazil Brewing Co. once a week—their first pop-up in San Diego. Soichi Sushi is opening next door in the former De Nada Kitchen on Adams Ave. Sonoran-inspired BBQ spot, Papalito, plans to open in South Park, adding to their map with hubs in North Park and East Village. Lastly, Amplified East Village has been aquired by long time PR head, Aubree Miller. It is being revamped as modbom. They will be switching to more cocktail focused and Drew Bent will be leasing the kitchen. If you wanna meet Glassman and Arkin and Marosi and try their creation—on April 1 they're launching a new cocktail with Understory at the Sky Deck.

As M&A activity continues to accelerate in the wealth management space, are clients receiving better advice and more access to complex planning through these larger enterprises? On this episode, host Scott Slater discusses the M&A landscape with David Canter, head of the RIA and family office segment for Fidelity Institutional.

On the show today, my guest is Scott Slater, a longtime friend, a former colleague at Stupid Cancer, and one of the earliest activists who helped build the original young adult cancer movement back in the mid-2000s. Yes, Scott is a cancer survivor, but that's just one of his MANY titles. He's a software engineer and app developer…. He's the founder and punk-in-chief at Codepunk, which is an epic web development company. He's an accomplished musician, and NOW he can add “composer of musicals” to his long list of creds. As the aging GenX'ers that we are, Scott and I wax poetic as about cancer in the age of “Woke Culture,” his new musical, “Fable,” and how the hell we're somehow still here after a combined 35 years of survivorship. Plus, Scott correctly identifies the idiot's bias as the “Dunn Krueger Effect.” Alex Trebek is surely beaming from on high.
