Friday, Sept. 16 “Shaq’s Mama Said Knock You Out Golf Tournament“ and “Soulful Midday Soiree” will feature the ever-popular and exciting golf tournament at Shingle Creek Golf Club, followed by a fun-filled and nostalgic afternoon of good food, good music and good friends.  Evoking a 1930s-style “Cotton Club” atmosphere, the “Soulful Midday Soiree” will feature smooth jazz, a hearty buffet of soul food favorites and more.

Individual tickets to the star-studded “Soulful Midday Soiree” charity event are $75 per person. Golf tournament foursomes are available through event sponsorship packages ranging from $3,000 to $50,000.  Golf tournament sponsorship packages also include tickets to the “Soulful Midday Soiree” and to a private VIP reception at Shaq’s home on Sept. 15.

Shaq and Lucille’s event benefits the Odessa Chambliss Quality of Life Fund (www.ocqualityoflifefund.com), which was established in honor of Shaq’s grandmother and Lucille’s mother, who worked for more than 16 years as a nurse and passed away in 1996. The name for the fund comes from the O’Neal family, who said, “At the time of her death we learned that it is not the quantity of years one lives, but the quality of life that is important.” The fund honors the lifetime accomplishments of Odessa Chambliss by funding nursing and educational scholarships at colleges and universities, including the University of Central Florida, Bethune-Cookman University and Valencia Community College. Donations also fund cancer research.

“We’re so excited to be back at Shingle Creek and promise the event will be full of fun and laughter with plenty of great soul food, jazz and new friends to make,” said Lucille O’Neal. “That, combined with the fact that proceeds will go to a worthwhile cause, make this an event one you don’t want to miss.”

“The ‘Shaq’s Mama Said Knock You Out’ event is always one of the highlights of the year at Shingle Creek,” said Leslie Menichini, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Rosen Hotels & Resorts. “We are honored to be a part of this worthwhile cause.  As always, we will do everything possible to ensure that it’s an impeccable time for attendees from the second they arrive until the moment they depart.”

ORLANDO (July 7, 2011) — Capturing a consumer trend that’s “anything but flat,” according to Nations Restaurant News, Orlando’s Rosen Shingle Creek is providing meetings attendees and leisure guests with even more quick, tasty and healthful food options by opening its 14th independent dining concept, Tobias Flats & Watering Hole.

Known for high-quality dining, the hotel recently received Meetings & Conventions (M&C) Gold Platter award, as well as the M&C Key award for the second time. The prestigious Gold Platter is awarded for excellence in dining and was only given to 23 hotels in the United States, Jamaica and the Bahamas. Two of the hotel’s 14 restaurants – the classic steakhouse A Land Remembered and the upscale Cala Bella Italian Bistro – have been awarded the AAA Four Diamond rating.

In a hotel known for innovative cuisine, opening a new restaurant is second nature. “We’re thrilled to introduce the flatbread concept to Rosen Shingle Creek in order to offer our guests yet another delicious choice for lunch, dinner or a quick bite between meetings or leisure activities,” said Rosen Shingle Creek Executive Chef Jorge Oliveira. “There’s never been a shortage of dining options at our hotels, but when we identify a winning idea we know our guests will love, like Tobias Flats or our recently opened Banrai Sushi, we don’t hesitate to make it happen.”

The new 35-seat restaurant is conveniently located within the hub of dining and retail options midway between the hotel’s convention and guest room areas. Guests may choose a combination of food, drinks or cocktails from the nearby Banrai Sushi or Headwaters Lounge and grab a seat in any of the three areas. The restaurant perfectly complements the hotels’ existing dining options, offering fast, light, one-or two-course fare.

“The flatbread trend is actually not a trend at all, but a return to some of the oldest recipes in the world — almost every culture serves a version of flatbread,” said Cameron Hostellero, Chef for Tobias Flats. “Our recipes take flatbreads to a new level when topped with freshly prepared ingredients such as grilled steak and bleu cheese, heirloom tomatoes, homemade marinara or champagne vinaigrette.”

Hostellero, a native of Hawaii, has been with Rosen Shingle Creek since 2007. He spent much of his career as a chef for Marriott hotels throughout the United States before joining the Rosen Hotels & Resorts family.

While the restaurant’s name and its rustic pioneer theme might easily lend itself to a national chain, Tobias Flats is a stand-alone concept developed by Rosen Hotels & Resorts’ President & COO, Harris Rosen. The name Tobias carries forward the “Old Florida” theme of the hotel and its picturesque property, through which the historic Shingle Creek runs, eventually feeding into the Everglades. Wanting to learn more about Florida’s pioneers and the time in which Shingle Creek was named, Rosen discovered the novel, “A Land Remembered” by Patrick D. Smith. The hotelier was so moved by the novel that upon opening Rosen Shingle Creek in 2005, he named his classic steakhouse after the book. Rosen’s newest restaurant is named for Tobias MacIvey, the patriarch of the novel. Throughout the menu, visitors will find many other references to the pioneering family, including sandwiches called Glenda’s Chicken, Emma’s Veggie, Solomon’s Turkey and more.

The Tobias Flats menu offers flatbreads in a variety of forms including sandwich flats, salad flats, classic flats, specialty flats and starters. Appetizers include Baked Spinach & Artichoke Dip or Sundried Tomato Hummus, both served with Toasted Flatbread Crisps. Sandwich flats include imaginative choices like Zech’s Beef, a peppered tenderloin with portabella mushrooms, caramelized onions, heirloom tomatoes, bleu cheese and creamy horseradish. Sandwich flats are served with a choice of soup or salad. Salad flats offer familiar favorites such as the Chicken Caesar as well as some tasty new choices such as the MacIvey Flat, piled high with pesto rock shrimp, alfredo, basil, roasted tomatoes, grilled artichokes, feta cheese, and more. Classic Flats are served pizza-style with traditional choices such as Four Cheese, Italian Sausage, and Mushroom and Caramelized Onion, while Specialty Flats such as the HR Tuscan offer a more worldly mix of grilled artichokes, tomatoes, Calamatta olives, feta cheese, homemade marinara and alfredo.
