Abstract encaustics reveal contrasting sensibilities

Story by Fredric Koeppel

We tread lightly when we use the adjectives “masculine” and “feminine” in criticism of any kind. What qualities, for example, make one wine seem masculine — robustness, muscularity, firm structure — and another wine seem feminine — delicacy, finesse, elegance? Who decides these things?

Best Bet: Strawberry Cake

Best Bet: Strawberry Cake

Story by Michael Donahue

My first look at a strawberry cake was a storybook illustration picturing a big pink cake dotted with plump red strawberries. My mother made red velvet cake and something called “prune cake” along with the basic chocolate and white cakes, but strawberry wasn’t in her repertoire. I finally tasted strawberry cake at some relative’s farm in Texas. It tasted as good as it looked in the book.

Film Review: Rapture, Rogen collide in "This is the End"

Story by John Beifuss

If the actual apocalypse arrives soon, it will find “This Is the End” a hard act to follow. A rip-roaring fire-and-brimstone comedy with shocks and special effects that are more startling if not more “realistic” than those found in “serious” blockbusters, the movie is vulgar, violent and grotesque in the extreme.

I’m always surprised when I mention The Pancake Shop and someone says, “Where’s that?” And I always say the same thing, “On Summer, by Market Basket,” even though Market Basket has been closed for at least 10 years. The thing about us lifelong Memphians is that we have long memories.

Among the late Don Pelts’ favorite restaurants was Buckley’s, both the steak house just a hop down Poplar from Corky’s, the barbecue restaurant Pelts founded, and the lunch-only spot a skip and a jump around the corner. Hearing this piqued my curiosity about the last time we reviewed Buckley’s.
