The term “Southern” says it all about this place.
Preparations tend to focus on Louisiana, but there also are hints of the
Carolinas on this diverse menu. Setting the mood is an appetizer of fried green
tomatoes with a thin coating of batter, served with a remoulade sauce for
dipping. The surprise hit is the “RWB” (red, white and blue) slaw. The red and
white are the colors of the cabbage while the blue is the cheese (though it
isn’t visible in the vinegar marinade, it immediately makes its presence
known). It’s a novel and tasty presentation, as are most items on the menu.

For most of us, bossa nova is the distinctive sound of Brazil. The music was born in the late 1950s, conceived in large part by Antonio Carlos Jobim. From early on, American jazz musicians parked themselves within the idiom, sensing an affinity between th
California's Sound Tribe Sector 9 claims that instrumental music can reflect the tension of the times. In fact, the five-man collective considers its dense Eno-esque swirl of pulsing live and electronic sounds a means of "conversation" between band and li
The local restaurant Barossa, named after the Australian wine region of the same name, quietly closed its doors several months ago. With that closure came the loss of a very distinguished wine list and a menu that borrowed ingredients from all over the wo
