Summit combines the classic with the modern Thu, 15 May 2008 13:53 EDT

Wayne Masterman has done it again. He's pulled all the right people together to open another upscale restaurant.

Summit, 1097 Duval Street, is in the converted farmhouse that Emmett Coons built in 1912. In 1996, descendant Joe Coons turned it into Emmett's restaurant.

Masterman, who owns .Portofino downtown and Serafini in Frankfort, describes the menu as .classic fare with a modern flair.. The motif is fine dining, but the dress is casual, he said. The menu features steak and seafood, with a sandwich, salad and small-plate menu for lighter meals. Nat Tate is the chef.

Summit opens at 5 p.m. daily for dinner, and the bar and patio open at 4 p.m. Call (859) 271-1400. Duval Street is off Tates Creek Road, south of Man o' War Boulevard.

60+? SHINGLES SHOT IS ADVISED

People 60 and older should get a one-time shingles shot that can help prevent the painful rash, U.S. health officials are recommending.

There's a 50-50 chance the shot will prevent shingles for those 60 and up, though the odds get worse the older you get. But shingles can be severe for some people, and the government believes it's worth the cost, $160 per dose.

Caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox, shingles is a blistering skin rash most common in older people. It usually ends after four weeks, but one in five victims develops long-term nerve pain. Other complications include scarring and loss of vision or hearing.

As many as one in three infected people develop shingles later in life.
