SIMPLY MING PBS, CHECK LOCAL LISTINGS "Fusion" food often means one condescending thing: Northern European cuisine fuses with bits of another, subordinated culture. Ming Tsai gives all world foods equal footing and pairs them unexpectedly. In the first show of the new season, Asia meets Mexico with a soy- and sesame-laced mole sauce; later he creates a Mediterranean-Chinese tapenade. Each episode uses one recipe--for a rub, sauce, paste and so forth--as the base of several dishes, a starting point from which the home cook can improvise.

A restaurant like BABU, tel: (43-1) 479 48 49, is the perfect avatar of the new Gürtel. This stylish, two-level fusion restaurant and bar lies just off Nussdorferstrasse, one of the most conspicuous pockets of gentrification along the belt. There, the city's chattering classes nibble on sushi in a chic interior fashioned from concrete and laminated beechwood. Afterward, they have a healthy choice of postprandial entertainment on the doorstep, much...
