Short Orders (Cafe Centraal)
Bay View’s Belgian Addition
The
Diablos Rojos Restaurant Group, which owns Trocadero and Cafe
Hollander, opened two new venues this year. In addition to the
Belgian-themed Fat Abbey, the group started Cafe Centraal (2306 S.
Kinnickinnic Ave.) in the booming neighborhood of Bay View. Cafe
Centraal also leans toward Belgium and has the same tremendous beer
list as Fat Abbey. It serves great frites with a wide choice of dipping
sauces. Steamed mussels are prepared three ways and sold by the pound—a
proper Belgian touch lacking at Fat Abbey. The charming décor includes
wooden tables as thick as butcher blocks and windows that make the
place inviting during the day. The long bar has a broad assortment of
stools, no two of which are alike. Cafe Centraal, which serves
breakfast at all hours, is another great addition to Bay View’s
restaurant scene.

Besotted by the cinema of silence and early talking pictures, Guy Maddin also finds humor in old movies-or perhaps the humor lies more in the distance between our experience of the world and the gestures of an antique art form. In My Winnipeg, the Canadia
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
