However, for when you want something slightly different and more creative, take a look at OROGOLD’s top picks of the most unusual restaurants in Europe.
A fashionable and popular restaurant in Montpellier, Le Restophone has a concept that is unlike any other. Rather than guests being glued to their own mobile phones during their meal, each table at Le Restophone, which focuses on authentic French cuisine, has its very own telephone that is connected to each of the other tables in the restaurant. This enables diners to get to know each other, giving them an easy way to spark up a conversation with someone they may not otherwise have spoken to. Since the restaurant is situated in a club, it is also an effective way to ask another diner for a dance!
All of your pre-existing ideas of what constitutes a great barbecue will be thrown out of the window after you visit El Diablo in Lanzarote, Spain. Situated in the volcanic Timanfaya National Park, the last volcanic eruption in the park was in 1824. Although the volcanoes are now dormant, they are still constantly producing geothermal heat, which is what El Diablo uses to cook its food. A giant cast iron grill lies across a volcano opening, with the hot vapor cooking food at 400 degrees Celsius – the ideal temperature for volcanic grilled meat. While eating your volcano-cooked food, you will be able to enjoy panoramic views of the Fire Mountains, a mountain range made up of over 100 different volcanoes.
Fortezza Medicea, in Volterra, just outside of Pisa in Italy, is a restaurant with an extremely unusual location. Situated inside a 500-year-old prison, the restaurant is staffed by some of Italy’s most hardened criminals, many of them serving 25 to life. Prison guards stand over the crowds, ensuring that everyone is kept safe, and diners have to hand in mobile phones and any bags before stepping into the prison complex. As daunting as this may seem, the restaurant has proven to be extremely popular, largely due to its vegetarian signature menu serving up southern Italian gourmet dishes. Although the cutlery and plates need to be plastic, and the security is always tight, tables at the restaurant are usually booked weeks in advance, and the inmates themselves are gaining some great hands-on experience, with many hoping to join the restaurant industry once they have completed their sentences.
Europe is full of unusual restaurants, and while some may be gone as quickly as they appear, due to a temporary food trend, others, such as the ones that OROGOLD has mentioned, seem to have a much longer lasting popularity. Since these are each one-of-a-kind restaurants, they all will require advanced bookings, so be sure to plan ahead if you are hoping to visit one.
The JWI incorporates research into its mission and activities several ways.
- Funded studies conducted by the JWI Director and Co-Director
- Research services for University of Miami investigators engaged in, or planning, community-based or disparities-focused studies – provided by the Cancer Center Shared Resource, the Disparities and Community Outreach (DCO) Core
- Educating UM medical, public health and other students about community research
Funded Research Projects
Patnè en Aksyon
Partners in Action (Patnè en Aksyon in Haitian Creole), was the first funded campus-community partnership established between the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and South Florida’s Haitian community. It introduced Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) methods to studies to address cancer disparities in Miami’s Haitian community. The first initiatives, starting in 2004, focused on breast cancer, and expanded to in include cervical cancer and colorectal cancer screening.
South Florida Center for Reducing Cancer Disparities (SUCCESS)
The South Florida Center for Reducing Cancer Disparities (SUCCESS) was established in 2010 with funding from a National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cooperative Agreement (Grant No. 1U54CA153705). It is part of the NCI Center to Reduce Cancer Disparities’ Community Network Program.
Reducing Cervical Cancer Disparities
The first SUCCESS study (2010-2015) involved community partners in medically-underserved Haitian and Hispanic communities in Miami Dade County to reduce the high rates of cervical cancer. The study utilized principals of CBPR and involves Community Health Workers (CHWs) to address the unique needs of each community. A Community Advisory Group was involved in the project since its planning, and guided the development of study materials, recruitment strategies, and study implementation. We recruited 200 women over three years in each of the three study sites. Women in the control group received NCI-approved culturally and linguistically appropriate outreach and educational materials on cervical cancer screening. The other groups received either home-based education by a CHW and referrals to a Federally Qualified Health Center for a Pap test, or a home-based self-sampling device to screen for the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), the major cause of cervical cancer. We evaluated the cost of the interventions, and the acceptability of self-sampling.
Reducing Colorectal Cancer Disparities
PBuilding on the cervical cancer study, Drs. Kobetz and Carrasquillo, along with a team of UM researchers, were awarded a Bankhead Coley Florida Team Science grant in 2012 (Grant No. 2BT02).
This project adapted strategies from the cervical cancer project to reduce disparities in colorectal cancer in Miami Dade County’s Hispanic and Haitian communities. Three inter-related studies were part of this grant. The team included Cancer Center researchers Drs. Daniel Sussman (gastroenterologist), David Lee (epidemiologist), Tulay Koru-Sengul (statistician).
- Project 1 involved analysis of data from the Florida Cancer Data System (FCDS) to identify communities with high rates of late-stage colorectal cancer. FCDS data was linked with hospital discharge data from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration to examine treatment and outcome disparities.
- Project 2 tested the acceptability and feasibility of using Spanish and Haitian Creole-speaking CHWs to provide individual or group education about colorectal cancer and to provide free Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) test kits. The FIT has been shown to be an effective and sensitive tool for screening average-risk adults who may not have access to screening colonoscopies. Our project, called “FIT for Life,” include educational material developed in conjunction with community members in Spanish and Haitian Creole. A total of 485 women have been screened to date. Compliance with returning the FIT kit to the UM laboratory was very high.
- Project 3 explored the molecular mechanisms that underlie the differences in tumor behavior between Hispanics and Haitians versus non-Hispanic whites.
Addressing Cervical Cancer Disparity in South Florida: CBPR in Action
In July 2014, Dr. Kobetz and Dr. Carrasquillo received a NCI RO1 award (Grant No. 1R01CA183612-01) to compare cervical cancer screening interventions tested in their previous studies. The project is called “Health in Your Hands.” As in their previous work, Community Advisory Groups are involved in developing study materials and study methods. The study will be conducted in Hispanic and Haitian communities in Miami Dade County. Women will be randomized into a control group that receives a CHW intervention or a study group that receives a mailed a HPV selfsampler. Analysis will include comparative effectiveness by ethnic group and acculturation level, as well as knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about cervical cancer and the importance of early detection of disease, access to care, and the relative cost of the two intervention strategies. Recruitment began in January 2015.
Geographic Management of Cancer Health Disparities Program for Region 3 (GMaP3) In September 2014, Dr. Carrasquillo and Dr. Kobetz were awarded an administrative supplement from the National Cancer Institute’s Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities for
