* Malcolm Harris reviews Ivory Tower.
Speaking for the elite private liberal arts school is Wesleyan President Michael Roth, who argues for small classes, a balanced education and a lot of contact with professors. "Ivory Tower" gives Roth a fair hearing, but he can't avoid coming off like a huckster of humanities when pitching the $60,000-plus annual price tag to the parents of potential students. (Hell, for 60 grand you could rent an apartment in Brooklyn and your own post-grad fellow.) The cost of this kind of education makes it both a model of learning for learning's sake — yes, a high cost but a priceless reward — and totally inaccessible to most young people.

* Half the professoriate will kill the other half for free.
In other words, while a few already well-paid superprofessors get their egos stroked conducting experiments that are doomed to fail, "second- and third-tier universities and colleges, and community colleges" risk closing because Coursera and its ilk have sent higher education price expectations through the floor and systematically devalued everybody else's work. And they get to do all this while dispensing a produuct that they know is inferior! Jay Gould would be proud.
* The irony, of course, is that "business" logic can kill its own host, like any parasite. When taken as an end in itself, it destroys everything — and then there's nowhere else to invest, no more areas producing real values that can be syphoned off into the giant pool of money. The imaginary values that finance has racked up then become the object of a game of hot potato, furiously churning through the system until the point when they simply disappear (i.e., lose all their value). That's what running everything "like a business" does — it trades real value for imaginary value that is then destroyed.
* Just because it's totally ineffective doesn't mean we shouldn't do it: A study by the Pew Charitable Trust in 2011, which looked at school closures in six US cities, found that school districts end up saving less than had been predicted. But think of all the other advantages school closings offer!
A University of Chicago study focusing on schools closed between 2001 and 2006 found that only six percent of displaced students ended up in high-performing schools.
And 42 percent of students continued to attend schools with 'very low' achievement levels. A year after changing schools, students' reading and math abilities were not any better or worse.
Students who did go to better-performing schools also had to travel an average of 6km to get there – which critics say risks the safety of students who have to go through neighbourhoods containing rival gangs.

And here, at the limit of life that idling alone brings into view in a nonthreatening way, we find another kind of nested logic. Call it the two-step law of life. Rule No. 1 is tomorrow we die; and Rule No. 2 is nobody, not even the most helpful robot, can change Rule No. 1. Enjoy!

What's an ambitious woman to do? Obviously, the price tag put on your employment is just another version of the pay gap, and for some reason, the elegant solution of professional women refusing to have children until someone fixes this situation has been taken off the table. It's a major conundrum. So why not look to men for answers? Men have managed the sticky situation of both having a job and having a home life for decades now. Their solution is possibly even more elegant in its simplicity than the "don't have children" one: Marry a woman.

Question: Is Marlon Brando the only person who ever refused to accept his Academy Award?
Answer: No. Back in 1936, screenwriter Dudley Nichols refused to accept his best screenplay Oscar for The Informer (1935). The early 1930s were a time of bitter conflicts between the studios and their employees; studio executives were vehemently anti-union and accustomed to forcing actors, writers, composers and crew to work on studio terms or not work at all. Nichols, who later became president of the Screenwriters Guild, refused to accept his award as a protest against what was widely perceived as the Academy's decision to sell out its less powerful members to union-busting studio heads.

Weeks like this is why a year ago I abandoned Nintendo. I sold my handheld and 3DS. I was hoping this time around. I came back in April but have regret it. I have a 2DS. Which I don't remember the last time I played it. I have a Wii U, but of all the games I have Pikmin, and Mario are the only ones specifically made for the Wii U. I will give it till November which is when the PS TV comes out in North America. Y'all understand how it could be frustrating?

If I had a classic controller I would go for Paper Mario. Such an underrated title.
Didn't Nintendo say that about Pokemon Y and X too? I am pretty sure they said they were evolving the game. Well I sold my Y because they ruined Pokemon by making it to easy I was LV 70 when I attempted to beat the E4. I beat it in 30 hours where as a normal Pokemon game lasts 40. I don't train I did though catch a few boxes of Pokemon. If Nintendo goes and ruins Zelda like they did Pokemon I am selling my Wii U and 2DS.
Awesome. Question though will Nintendo do it right? They should go back and have games like Rayman cross buy. I really hope cross buy just won't be for stupid non- retal or classics Eshop games.
@SleepyCrossing Thanks as soon as my job goes through I will get it.
Thats good news! I wonder if it had anything to do with the free game offer though?
I have a 2DS do I need to get Animal Crossing? Is it really as good as they say?
The more I see of this the more I like. At first I was skeptical of how it would play but all the new footage looks amazing and got me excited.
@GuSolarFlare It would be amazing if Tingle were in it.
Those Rayman games tempt me.
Disappointing. I really hope for some great classics to compensate that lackluster list of games. Or new great retail games.
The third party I want back to Nintendo otherwise I might have to buy a PS4 to play would be a yearly Madden and NBA 2K. Is that to much to ask?
I used to have a PS Vita and PS3 and was always curious about Guacamelee. I guess I will have to wait for it to come out and see how the Wii U one is.
Looks like a Super Monkey Ball type of game. Intresting.
Pushmo games are great but I am waiting for another good classic game that is made by Nintendo not a Mega Man game. If I wanted to play Mega Man I would have kept my PS3.
@unrandomsam I am in the North America region. I payed little attention to the stone of agony. I just like them for nostalgia.
What will the Legend of Zelda be like without Navi type of thing?
Now the question is do I just get a classic controller and buy OOT, and Majoras Mask, maybe even Paper Mario 64? Or do I wait which could be years. I just bought my Wii U this Spring. So I am still trying to catch up on games.
Hopefully that will result in better sales for Nintendo. What interests me are: Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, Smash Bros 3DS/Wii U, and Hyrule Warriors.
Sounds promising.
I still don't think I will wait. I want to play Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask and others that require me getting a classic controller. Though they have released some good ones on the Eshop it could be years before the 64 is on the eshop.
I plan to get it eventually. I have so many games I need to beat first...
Cool. Hopefully it won't be changes like Nintendo did with Pokemon and ruined it by making it easier.
This intrigues me. Is this like the Nintendo Land game or...? Are we able to fully control our character? Or just the weapon like in Nintendo Land?
Interested to see how this turns out. I do plan to get it when it comes out since it looks like Yoshi's Island mixed with Kirby's Epic Yarn.
The Minish Cap is such an underated Zelda title. I wonder why it isn't considered among the best Zelda's to most. To me the list goes OOT, MM, WW, and MC. Those I would consider are all tied for first for me.
It a pretty good game. It just seems like it is missing something. I would give it a 7/10. Is it more fun playing with people? I have only played by myself thus far.
Maybe they are starting to understand the way people want to play and it doesn't include a Gamepad. I still am wondering could I use the Gamecube controllers for the Wii Virtual Console games.
It almost looks likes it could be worth picking up.
Diddy Kong Racing was a pretty fun game.
I do plan to get Pikmin 3 for my free game once Mario Kart comes out.
Pretty cool. Will I be able to use these for classic games even if its only the ones on the Wii Virtual Console? If it is possible I may just go and buy Majoras Mask and OOT for my Wii U.
I plan to buy Mario Kart Wii U then download Pikmin.
Pretty cool and unexpected. I might pick up Pushmo and Crashmo. I will get Pushmo World though for sure.
Intresting. I am a fan of HM I guess I should try this too.
Those games were fun but I am not so sure about them on the Wii U. I usually leave puzzle type games to the 3DS.
I can't wait for this to come to USA. This will be a day one download. It will go good with my Legend of Zelda special edition Gamepad.
I am from USA so I want Minish Cap to come over here and fast.
Hopefully it comes this month to North America.
Two weeks in a row where almost half said nothing.
Finally Nintendo you plan to release more classic games and it is Minish Cap!!! Minish Cap is tied for my favorite Zelda game, it is tied with Majoras Mask, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Minish Cap. I really wanted to play Minish Cap. I kind of had a feeling it would come to America since it has had an IGN page for a couple months.
I tried Cut the Rope on my phone and I didn't get far before I gave up and deleted it. I am not much for puzzles unless they are Legend of Zelda or Kingdom Hearts type of puzzles.
Hopefully. If the Wii U sells better more people would want to make games for it. We can only hope.
That's nice to know it doesn't drain much energy.
@jariw I just recently bought a Wii U. I used to have PS3 and Vita. I just got sick of playing games with swearing and suggestive humor. When I had those I always wanted to play Nintendo. I sold my Vita and PS3 and bought a Wii U and 2DS. I just wish they would release more of their games that made them famous like Mario, Kirby, Yoshi, Zelda. I mean really they only are putting NES. SNES or GBA classic games on the Eshop. Where's all the GC games they promised or N64 games? It doesn't make sense they hold off on releasing game 2-3 years away. Usually when someone is failing they try to fix it. But can anyone honestly say it looks like Nintendo is trying?
I wonder if the Wii U gamepad is the reason no one wants to make games for NIntendo? The gamepad is kind of useless to me. I just use as as a Controller. Legend of Zelda Wind Waker might have been the best use of it the gamepad showed the map. Otherwise just one really expensive controller.
Based of the last couple weeks it seems as though Nintendo is content with Failing. Wouldn't you think if Nintendo was doing so bad they would release games that people would want to buy? 25 percent said nothing this week. I don't get it. Most of these games they release are equal to Andriod games. 10 dollars for Scream Kitty. Nintendo confuses me.

Published: March 2008 Servings: Makes 10
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions, chopped (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
- 12 garlic cloves, chopped
- 7 tablespoons New Mexico chili powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 14 cups (or more) water
- 1 1/2 pounds dried black beans, rinsed
- 2 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
- 6 fresh poblano chiles
- 1 cup finely chopped white onion
- 1 7-ounce can salsa verde
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pounds country-style boneless pork ribs, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted
- Grated hot pepper Monterey Jack cheese
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic and cook until onions are translucent, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Add chili powder and ground cumin and stir 1 minute. Add 14 cups water, black beans, dried oregano, and grated orange peel. Bring mixture to boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover with lid slightly ajar, and simmer until black beans are tender, about 2 hours. Add chipotle chiles and season chili to taste with salt. Simmer until black beans are creamy, mashing coarsely with potato masher to desired consistency, adding more water by 1/2 cupfuls if too thick, and stirring frequently, about 30 minutes longer. Season chili to taste with more salt. DO AHEAD Chili can be made 3 days ahead. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled.
Char poblano chiles over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Place in large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes. Peel, seed, and chop chiles. Place chiles in medium bowl. Add onion and salsa verde. Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
Stir sour cream and minced chipotle chiles in medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle pork ribs with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add pork ribs to skillet and cook until browned, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer pork ribs to medium bowl. Return all pork ribs and any juices to skillet. Add chicken broth, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until pork is tender, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes. Transfer to another medium bowl.
Meanwhile, rewarm chili. Stir cilantro and cumin seeds into salsa.
Divide chili among bowls. Top with pork, salsa, chipotle crema, and cheese.

Maryland's Montgomery County Ride On service added 13 new, energy-efficient hybrid buses to its fleet. The new buses will offer a clean, comfortable ride to more than 10,000 commuters, seniors and others who take transit daily. The vehicles were purchased with $6.6 million through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.With the addition of the 12 new hybrid electric-diesel buses and one clean-diesel bus, all built in the U.S. in compliance with the Buy America law, sustainable vehicles now make up nearly two-thirds of Montgomery County's Ride On fleet and bring the agency closer to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050.Montgomery County's new Ride On buses were manufactured by Gillig LLC, based in Hayward, Calif. The buses meet the Recovery Act's Buy America requirement, meaning all the iron, steel and manufactured materials used in the buses are produced in the U.S. The 13 new buses will be put into service on several of the county's busiest routes in suburban Maryland.Montgomery County's Ride On bus service is one of the largest suburban-based transit systems in the country, carrying approximately 28 million riders a year, with connecting service to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's Metrobus and Metrorail systems.

Dental Associate Group has eight doctors on staff, so patients can usually find the specialist they need. Dr. Sheikh M. Ilyas, for example, is a fellow of the International Congress of Implantology, whereas Dr. Hamed Vaziri is an orthodontist, and Dr. Daniela Marinescu is an endodontist. Together, the experienced team performs a wide variety of dental services, ranging from routine treatments like checkups and cleanings to more advanced procedures such as root canals. For cosmetic needs, they also whiten teeth, replace cavities with tooth-colored fillings, and replace damaged pearly whites with implants instead of weirdly shaped pearls.
As an active member of the Lotus network of holistic-health providers and Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry, Dr. Jack M. Levine operates from a philosophy that oral health correlates with overall wellbeing. He and his staff at Orange Street Smiles maintain chompers with holistic dental services that leverage preventative care, biocompatible materials, and minimally invasive procedures. Upon arrival, clients assuage anxieties by sipping herbal tea with one hand while the other two relax with a complimentary hand massage. During the examination, patients can listen to music while Dr. Jack delves into facial caves in search of cavities, gum disease, and oral cancers. X-rays create a dental record and reveal root positions and any hidden decay. Lastly, a skilled hygienist sloughs off plaque jackets and unfashionable tartar top hats using toothpaste made from green tea and herbs.
Most popular service: Family, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry
Brands Used: Lumi-brite whitening; all-porcelain veneers and crowns
Reservations/Appointments: Required
Established: 1978
Staff Size: 10 people
Parking: Parking lot
Handicap Accessible: Yes
Pro Tip: For quicker service, visit our website and fill out the new-patient forms prior to your appointment.
Dr. Alan P. Friedler has designed virtually every aspect of his office to keep his patients relaxed and comfortable starting with the coffee and tea in the lobby. The doctor works with modern technology, such as Intraoral cameras and Diagnodent lasers to detect hard-to-spot cavities, and digital x-rays reduce radiation exposure. For patients who still feel the jitters, the doctor offers oral-conscious sedation and nitrous oxide to take the edge off without going under.
General dentists, certified lab technicians, and specialists in areas from root canals to orthodontia work together on Columbia Dental's diverse team. They safeguard smiles with a comprehensive array of services, placing special emphasis on disease prevention with rigorous exams, cleanings, and digital x-rays. However, when disease strikes, the team can treat it in-house, tending to inflamed gums and eliminating chronic pain with root canals. The staff can also straighten crooked smiles with Invisalign treatments, which are more effective than constructing mouth guards from rulers. The office accommodates hectic schedules by staying open seven days a week, with evening appointments available.
In the more than 12 years since Dr. Jacek Ziemski graduated from dental school at SUNY Stony Brook, he has never stopped educating himself about dentistry. In addition to taking on a postgraduate residency, he regularly aids and abets his training by learning about teeth and dental techniques through continuing-education courses. Today, his deep knowledge base allows him to practice the full range of family, restorative, and cosmetic dental treatments.
Before founding Trumbull Smiles Family Dental, LLC, Dr. Scott Cohen was honing his dental skills in the Navy, serving as a dental officer in Iraq and conducting humanitarian missions in Al Anbar. Today, he focuses his services stateside, treating patients of all ages with a full spectrum of general and cosmetic dentistry. He replaces missing teeth with durable titanium implants and nudges teeth toward their desired positions with Invisalign clear braces.

The fashion world is a topic that seems to render otherwise eloquent individuals apoplectic. There's just something about models -- those mutant offspring of rarefied breeding -- that leaves even the soberest of intellectuals at a loss for words. Even as adept a social critic as filmmaker Robert Altman, who so subtly skewered weighty subjects including Hollywood, the music industry, and the Vietnam War, took an aesthetic stumble when it came time to tackle the fashion industry. Perhaps this is why South Beach, a strip of sand where gawkers from around the world gather to gaze upon these leggy creatures striding about, revolves on its own axis, free of any gravitational pull from greater Miami. Indeed on the evening of April 22, as tear gas wafted through Little Havana and hundreds of Cuban-exile protesters declared war on the city's defenseless newspaper vending machines and Dumpsters, only five minutes east over the causeway it was just another Saturday night on South Beach. More than a month later, as the rest of Miami competes in flag-waving contests and Miami Police Chief Raul Martinez prepares for Elian postrepatriation riots, South Beach has its own weighty affairs to mull over: Mayya out! Baywatch Café in!
Part of the problem here may be in figuring out just what we talk about when we talk about models. "There is a 'world' of fashion, of course, but what exactly is that world?" asks Guy Trebay in his introduction to Runway, Larry Fink's new collection of photography. "Is it an atelier populated by madcap designers and their harried assistants? Is it a magazine office filled with superthin editorial adepts? Is it a modeling agency where chain-smoking agents sit at podlike desks while pimping their human products? Or is it a Hong Kong sweatshop, a factory's front room, a cutter's table, a mediator's office in Chapter 11 proceedings, the vapor of the Zeitgeist, the whirl of chichi cocktails, the particular clinic where the beautiful strung-out sixteen-year-olds are sent for a quickie rehab?"
It is, Trebay argues, all of those things, but they gather together at only one point: the runway. Appropriately that's where Larry Fink has situated himself for the stark black-and-white shots that compose Runway, creeping around both behind and in front of the stage, capturing candid moments: a make-up artist with a weary grimace closer to that of a shell-shocked Beirut refugee, Calvin Klein agog at his own handiwork, George Plimpton summoning a disapproving stone face as the haute couture set frolics around him, as if by script.
What distinguishes Fink's work is its unique outlook, rejecting both the unalloyed celebration of this world (ironic or not) and the approach that seeks to make a grotesquerie of models and their stomping grounds. Instead Fink's eye takes on a cool, almost scientific manner. Whither fashion? It is what it is.
Speaking with Kulchur from his farmhouse in rural southeastern Pennsylvania, Fink explains, "My interest in the fashion world is not to join it but to observe it and," he continues without missing a beat, "to make money from it. I don't find myself drawn inexplicably to the magnetism of the people within that world. I'm often repelled by the niggardly cowardice, transcendent promiscuity, and pettiness of the industry."
Despite that attitude (or in a perverse testament to the fashion industry's sense of self-loathing, perhaps becauseof it) Fink has become a much-in-demand photographer for magazines such as Wand GQ, and has been specially commissioned to shoot for designers such as Isaac Mizrahi and the late Gianni Versace. Though he may also have a prestigious career as an "art" photographer (including his well-received exhibitions at New York's Museum of Modern Art, a faculty position at Bard College, and being the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and several NEA grants), Fink declares firmly: "I'm 59 and it's time to make a living." Thus this unabashed leftist is more than happy to take the Versace family's money, marking time while "the revolution is stalled." He adds dryly: "The fashion world was just an extension of my studies of the upper class. I've been studying the nature of power all my life. And power is what fashion is all about."
Still, this honesty only seems to endear Fink to fashionistas even more. Although this old-school bohemian proudly admits to having worn the same pair of pants for the past fourteen years ("when they wear out, I just buy new ones in the same style"), for his second marriage last month, no less than the New York Times'weddings reporter trekked out to his idyllic farm far from Manhattan's tony precincts. Jewish red-diaper babies aren't the usual fare to be splashed across the Times'Sunday "Vows" section -- a public barometer of Wasp acceptance -- but there was Fink's ceremony writ large in the paper. "I'm inside and outside at the same time," he laughs.
Turning to South Beach and those ruing their position on the wrong side of the velvet rope, Fink admonishes that his camera's subjects "may look like they're having a good convention of a good time -- they're surrounded by money, they go out on yachts, they fly on fancy jets, they have all the trappings. But their world is so anxiety filled because of the built-in obsolescence factor. You become consumed by change. And the change is never profound, it's always superficial.... It's theater without a plot. These people are the ultimate personification of what it means to be free marketeers: You market your clothes, you market your body, you market your very narcissism and vanity."

This is a routine Allan Ackerman developed in the early 1970s where he tried to achieve the cards across effect with as little motion as possible. He also added a visual card vanish. Later Paul Harris took this routine and turned it into his famous Sleeper routine.
A spectator picks a card. A second spectator cuts off a small portion of the deck, counts the cards, and puts the counted cards in a safe place. The performer then attempts to magically add as many cards to the second spectator's pack as the value of the card the first spectator chose.

Universe & U Lyrics - KT Tunstall
Review The Song (4)
A fire burns
Water comes
You cool me down
When I'm cold inside
You are warm and bright
You know you are so good for me
With your child's eyes
You are more than you seem
You see into space
I see in your face
The places you've been
The things you have learned
They sit with you so beautifully
You know there's no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you
Just like stars burning bright
Making holes in the night
We are building bridges
You know there's no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you
The universe and you, the universe and you.
When you're on your own
I'll send you a sign
Just so you know
I am me, the universe and you
I am the universe and you,
I am the unvierse and you.

I heared these exact lyrics on a electronica song in 2002. But I don't think it was by KT Tunstall, I believe it was by someone else. Please note I heard these lyrics in 2002. This song wasn't publish until 2004, so the original artist of this song was probably a electronic artist. I heard this song in Autumn 2002 when DJ Craig Brunkenhoefer mixed it live at Sky Lounge (416 Congress Ave., Austin,TX), broadcasted by Mega 93.3//99.7 fm.

Aziza, Chapeau!, or The Richmond?
- alanbarnes Oct 15, 2010 11:54 AM
Barb and I are headed back to SF in a few weeks. Our last couple of forays into the city have been planned around things other than food, with meals being catch-as-catch-can. We haven't gone hungry, but it has limited our options.
So this time we're going to get reservations for Friday's dinner well ahead of time and schedule backwards from there. We're going to be at the DeYoung in the afternoon, and there are three places nearby that have been on the radar for a while - Aziza, Chapeau!, and The Richmond.
Aziza gets a ton of Chowhound love, and my first inclination is just to go there. But Barb likes the sound of the dishes at Chapeau!, and she's got that old-fashioned tendency to equate French food and special occasions. Then there's The Richmond - lots of positive attention, especially in the bang-for-the-buck department (which is definitely a consideration at this point in the economic cycle), and it's an easy walk from the museum.
So I figured I'd ask my fellow 'hounds which of those three restaurants you would choose, and why. I know it's like asking whether we should eat apples or oranges, but any input (including alternate suggestions) is welcome.
FWIW the current plan is to ditch the car in El Cerrito and ride public transportation, so parking isn't an issue but bus routes are.
5800 Geary Blvd., San Francisco, CA 94121
126 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94118
The Richmond Restaurant
615 Balboa, San Francisco, CA 94118
Three great options.
Chapeau! has an early bird 3 course menu for $28.00 if you get there before 6:00pm (except Friday or Saturday).
The MUNI 44 bus stops in front of the museums and the northbound route will drop you at 6th Avenue and Clement, about 4 blocks from Chapeau!
I'd make the picks between Chapeau and Aziza. Certainly value and conveience with good food is an easy choice however Aziza and Chapeau are a step up.
I'd pick Aziza given the reviews and Michelin star (subjective reasoning) and the upside for an excellent meal is higher and it's arguably the best restaurant in the Richmond district. I think the tasting menu is around $60 now. Now bad and more romantic, if that matters.
That said, if the wife likes Chapeau, I'd probably head there and the $28 early bird sounds like a good compromise between price, value, food.
re: ML8000
More romantic definitely matters; thanks. That's exactly the kind of comparative info I was hoping to get. Score a point for Aziza.
Speaking of the tasting menu, does it change on a daily basis, or is there some indication of what we should expect? Looks like their fixed menu for larger groups is always spreads, basteeya, an entree, and dessert...
Chapeau's early-bird special isn't available since we're going to be there on Friday. And IMO wine is an integral part of a French meal; not so with Moroccan food. So it's not at all clear we'd end up spending less money than if we had apps, entrees, and couple of cocktails at Aziza.
re: alanbarnes
Tasting menu at Aziza seems to be $68 now. As far as I know, the tasting menu at Aziza always includes the spreads and the basteeya for the table and choice of entree and dessert. Not sure what the fifth course would be (another appetizer, presumably). Some people complain that it's a lot of food, so you might be better off ordering a la carte. For example, if you ordered the spreads, the basteeya, another appetizer, two entrees and two desserts it would be cheaper than the prix fixe for two and be plenty of food.
re: Ruth Lafler
seems like they rasied it to $63 (from $55) after getting the Michelin star, you would have thought they'd have at least waited until the new Michelin ratings came out to up it to $68
re: vulber
They apparently abandoned, but didn't delete, a page on their server with an old dinner menu. http://www.aziza-sf.com/dinner.html Compare it to the current menu: http://www.aziza-sf.com/food.html
Most prices have increased a little; the basteeya is unchanged at $18, spreads are up from $9 to $12, and the squab has gone from $23 to $26. But the tasting menu that was $39 is now $68. Yow.
re: alanbarnes
wow....great catch.
i still don't find aziza to be overpriced though as the quality of the food there is phenomenal, it's just not a bargain anymore (now, the 3-course prix fixe at chapeau is)
re: alanbarnes
See if you can get a table in the back room at Aziza, which is quieter and more intimate. The cost of the tasting menu has accelerated much faster than the cost of individual dishes, and it's not anything like the great bargain it used to be. Given that it's made up of appetizers, soup, basteeya, entrees, and desserts from the regular menu, I think it makes as much sense to order a la carte. Terrific cocktails.
re: alanbarnes
I don't agree that Aziza is more romantic than Chapeau! (Chapeau moved into the old Clementine space.)
Food at both is excellent. Aziza has great cocktails and a more innovative menu. But I also equate French food with special occasions, at least from childhood. Chapeau is more traditional but never fails to delight.
re: Windy
As of my last visits a couple of years ago I would rate the Clementine space as more romantic than Aziza, though perhaps there have been décor changes since then. You might disagree if your idea of romantic = very little light. I do find dim lighting to be romantic but not if it's so dim I can barely see my food or my date.
What is it with the dark = romantic thing anyway? Because no one can see what you are doing under the table? Because the anonymity of darkness suggests illicit liaisons? If I'm at a special restaurant with someone attractive I want to experience fully the visual impact of the food and my date.
re: charliemyboy
Charlie if dim lights are romantic the restaurant Opaque is a virtual Woody Allen orgasmatron.
re: charliemyboy
Just to make sure I'm understanding you here, are you saying that Aziza is especially poorly lit? Don't mean to be dim, but if you could shed a little more light on the subject I'd appreciate it.
re: alanbarnes
i find the seats at aziza to be very cramped and uncomfortable...although part of that could be because i'm so tall
service is better at chapeau!
re: vulber
I thought the atmosphere at Aziza was very nice and the seats were quite comfortable perhaps because I'm so short.
re: alanbarnes
Since romantic is subjective, you might look at photos on their websites or on Yelp.
I forgot Chapeau moved to Clementine. My recollection of Clementine (8 yrs ago) was traditional with some European formality...green carpet, table clothes but the table were very close together. I could see why people like it. Of course things could have changed with the move.
To me Aziza is "romantic" because it's different. I wouldn't say exotic but Moroccan design influences...and cozy is a good way to phrase the back room. Add in the food and I think the experience is more interesting overall, adventurous...even if it's not really since the 38 Geary stops outside.
re: alanbarnes
My only time at Aziza was in the middle room 2 or 3 years ago and we could barely see our food. Per Windy's comment we probably should have asked for the back room.
I wasn't particularly impressed with Aziza's décor—I much prefer more traditional décor similar to what I have experienced in Morocco or at some other Moroccan restaurants in the U.S. Admittedly Aziza's food is head and shoulders above other Moroccan places in SF and I was very glad we went, but I found it less romantic than most of my other Moroccan dining experiences (such as http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/6581... ).
Your tastes may differ—
Aziza's website doesn't have photos of the décor but opentable has one photo: http://www.opentable.com/aziza
Compare to El Mansour, whose food can't compare but which is decorated completely with items and fabrics brought from Morocco: http://www.elmansour.com/index-1.html
Chapeau's website has one photo of their dining room: http://www.chapeausf.com/
My opinions of décor and lighting notwithstanding, the food at Aziza was outstanding.
Definitely go to Aziza if you want an explosion of flavors. They really know how to use spices in everything from their fabulous cocktails all the way to the deserts. For a really special meal I'd go to Aziza.
We are Aziza regulars. The food, atmosphere and cocktails are unlike any other restaurant in the City and beyond. Oh, did I mention the cocktails? I dream about them. They are seasonal, and absolutely delicious.
On our last trip, I had the lamb shank. I do not normally eat lamb, but this dish was incredible!
Go early, ask for the back room, and plan for a leisurely wonderful meal. Don't be in a rush!
5800 Geary Blvd., San Francisco, CA 94121
While I love Aziza and absolutely recommend it without reservation, I don't think a meal there is necessarily the more memorable one. I had a dinner at Chapeau! earlier this year that still makes my heart beat a little faster - my skate in brown butter was possibly one of the best pieces of fish I've ever had. The service was impeccable while still being warm, charming, and welcoming, and despite the low lighting and close quarters of the nearby diners it still felt romantic. I absolutely love that restaurant.
That being said, I also adore Aziza. The cocktails are out of this world wonderful - not just inventive, they're smooth and beautifully balanced. Much the same can be said for most dishes I've had. A friend and I went there very early the other night for a leisurely dinner. Sure, the space is funkier (be careful of the floor in the middle room, especially if wearing heels) but I like it, and the service was wonderful and very attentive. We shared a variety of appetizers - we were particularly happy with the scallops and the chicken wings (boneless, more like a confit). And while I was disappointed the burnt honey ice cream was not on the menu (truly one of the best ice creams I've ever had), the goat yogurt granita with melon soup and beet sorbet was a revelation. So good I tried to pry the spoon out of my friend's hand so she would stop eating her share. Must find weaker friends.
Truly, you can't go wrong with either one.
Thanks, everybody, for all the input. Sounds like we've got some great options with no bad choices.
Ultimately we decided on Aziza and have made reservations there. But Chapeau! is definitely on the must-try list. Next time we're out that way at dinnertime, for sure.
Thanks again,
I have been to Chapeau! many times but not in the past 3 years and in that time much has changed so I'm not certain I should comment on the restaurant as whole. But the head chef remains the same and I can comment that he makes some of the best *bistro* French food I have had in the U.S.
I love Aziza, but I do not love it as much as others on this board do. Still, I would chose it. It is lovely, a very comforting atmosphere, excellent food, and... unique food. I have been to a couple of other great French bistros in the states. Chapeau! really is at the top of the heap, but there is a heap. The Moroccan food with a New American sensibility at Aziza stands out as something original to me. And, considering the uniqueness of Aziza's menu, the peacefulness of the dining room, and the *relative* equivalence of the food in absolute terms, to me Aziza wins out.
I will also echo another poster's comment that at Aziza, the lamb shank really is the way to go.
re: whiner
I woudln't really consider Chapeau! to be bistro food, even if it is priced like it (and calls itself so). to me, bistro food makes me think of steak frites, coq au vin, sole meuniere, etc...
whatever it is though, it's phenomenal
Reporting back...
Thanks everybody for the recommendations. We went to Aziza, and it was spectacular. They seates us in the back room, at the table next to the stairs and the waiter's station. Not a good start, but it didn't cause any problems. And it left a spot to prop up the umbrella and pile our wet jackets (the rain came earlier than expected...)
We started with cocktails. Barb had vodka with fennel, dill, saffron, and black pepper. Very refreshing. I had rye with grapefruit, absinthe, and Peychaud's bitters. Complex and interesting to the last drop. I could make a hobby of the bar here...
For appetizers, we had the spreads and the scallops. Spreads were very tasty - from herbaceous to creamy to peppery - and the flatbread was more than the simple pita I had expected. But they didn't blow us away. The scallops, on the other hand, did. An intense sear, some pine nuts, a little endive and butternut squash - but the whole was so much greater than the sum of its parts. Spectacular.
For entrees, Barb had the cauliflower and I had the squab. The cauliflower was very good; served with some perfectly-cooked couscous and sauced with a nice hit of harissa. The squab was even better. Just past rare with smoked farro and slices of an unidentified root vegetable dusted with a mix of spices that I was never quite able to put my finger on. Exotic and delicious. Instead of wine we shared a 750ml bottle of Belgian tripel ale. It all worked well together.
We shared a dessert of date cake, fig jam, persimmon, and orange blossom whipped cream. The date cake was solid, and the persimmon was fresh if not intensely flavorful. The orange blossom really didn't come through, and the fig jam got lost in the mix a little bit. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. It paired well with two small pours of Pedro Ximenez sherry.
What is writing home about is the fact that this place is such a bargain. The tab was maybe $75 exclusive of beverages, tax, and tip. And the drinks were very reasonably priced. Total damage was about $160 - not a cheap night out, but for QPV I'm not sure it can be matched.
Again, thanks to all for your recommendations.

Classic cold appetizers for buffets
02 December 2014 (Tue)
Classic cold appetizers for buffets: Baden-Baden saddle of venison, salmon Bellevue, goose liver mousse, meat pie.
In addition to enjoying outstanding cuisine, Traube Tonbach guests can also perfect their own cooking skills. With years of experience in sophisticated cooking seminars, the Traube Tonbach cookery school has become an institution for ambitious amateur cooks. Under the direction of head chef Henry Oskar Fried, you work on a culinary theme and prepare a four-course meal in our professional high-tech kitchen. The participants will learn and try out the techniques, tricks and standard recipes used in "grande cuisine". When the cooking is done, you can enjoy the fruits of your labour in a delicious group lunch. Sommelier Stéphane Gass chooses the perfect wine to complement each course. Each class starts at 10.00 a.m. We also have a new way for guests to try our cookery school. You can learn how to master a particularly challenging dish – like a Black Forest torte – in our three-hour mini-courses.
Prices are per person and per course: 190,00. Price includes dishes, aperitif, beverages, writing tools, course materials with recipes and a small gift.
Also as part of the accommodation arrangement "time for cooking and enjoying" bookable.
The courses can only be offered to groups of six people or more. For a group of eight or more, we are happy to arrange a course on the themes and dates you wish. We charge an extra €40 for day classes and €15 for three-hour classes for participants not staying at the hotel. If you cancel a reservation at short notice (fewer than 14 days before the course is scheduled to begin), we are forced to send out a cancellation bill (80% of the contractually agreed price for participation at the Traube Tonbach Cookery School) unless we are able to fill the place in the course for the period in question. This also applies if you change your booking to a later time and subsequently cancel.
Registrations are made through our reservation department at +49 7442 492 665 or per email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
