Surrounded by headless mannequins and tables cluttered with fabric, needles, and thread, Quinn L. Dang ’09 comments on the superiority of this space to past rooms she’s worked in. “We had this small costume shop in high school...you’d sit there costuming for hours. It was tiny and stuffy—we called it the shop of horrors.” Now seated in the costuming area of Loeb Experimental Theatre, Dang, who has been involved in fashion since high school, talks about her experiences costuming for various...
...know you’re worried Mr. Sixpack, but I’m here to clear up all these misconceptions about Obama. Does he kill babies? No Joe, he hunts them, and dang it Joe if you say you’re against hunting I don’t think I can call you an American. Is he going to raise your taxes? No, but he might raise Sarah Palin’s!

But in the end, the food manages to do the job alone. Dang's burger interpretations are very creative, and the quality of the ingredients and preparation have more in common with SoHo's better bistros than its fast food joints. The braised U.S. short-rib and truffle burger ($35) comes plated in an elegant open-faced tower of foie gras, green beans...
...Duke's gives you eight burgers to choose from, including the classic cheddar and smoked bacon ($20). It also offers a selection of salad and "fry" sides, like parmesan-and-corn fritters. With the exception of a mediocre spiked milkshake, the fare is excellent. If Dang ever decided to try his hand at cooking something besides burgers, the results promise to be just as enticing...
