...also ate prawn koliwada-battered fried shrimps that offer a slight crunch on the first bite and then a satisfying series of chewy small taste explosions in your mouth-and a chili garlic squid that used Chinese flavorings and was slightly sweet before the spice kicked in. All this good fare is cheap, too. The starters begin at about $4 and most mains are between $10 and $20. I wonder if there's enough left in the expense account for my editors to send me to the next restaurant on Apple's list...
...places and cool animals, preferably eating other cool animals. We want to be awed. This 11-episode BBC DVD set is organized by ecosystem, from deserts to the poles, and the $25 million budget secured such awe-inspiring sights as a deep-sea light show by an electrified vampire squid. It's a breathtaking window on the earth's vastness and most secret corners...
...local hardwoods. He has also invented a custom grill with a pulley system that allows precise control of oxygen intake, levered grill surfaces that can be kept meticulously clean for a light smoke, and a mesh-bottomed pan that grills such refined foods as caviar and the tiniest baby squid. Ordinary grilled flavor comes mainly from soot, but here exceptional-quality ingredients are barely enrobed in a gossamer smokiness. Ask for the daily menu, about six stunningly minimalist dishes. You may get incredible homemade txorizo or lobsters sacrificed live, martyrs to gastronomic ecstasy. There's even a smoked ice cream...
...style is spare and naturalistic. The theme is relationships, beginning in angst and ending in reconciliation. The focus is often on a dysfunctional family (there are no functional ones in indie movies) that strives to reconnect. Within this genre are a few subspecies: the family breakup film (The Squid and the Whale), the finding-your-family-at-school movie (Half Nelson, Brick), the gay drama (Mysterious Skin). Way too frequently, the family goes on a trip. Given the typical Sundance pace, which is leisurely to lethargic, these road movies rarely get in the passing lane...
...Santimaria got a standing ovation. But however much the audience may have loved his diatribe on behalf of nature and artisans, they were still hungry for technological novelty. Seiji Yamamoto, of Tokyo's Ryugin, got an ovation of his own for the squid-ink "barcode" he silk-screened onto a plate, which, when scanned, leads the PDA-toting diner to a website that explained the dish's ingredients. Juan Mari Arzak used a nifty device to puff up cellophane 'papillote' with herb-scented air that would then infuse the lobster cooked inside. Quique Dacosta created mushroom "papers"; Dani Garcia used...
