Taste the dare
Believe it or not, some of the best sushi in our humble burg comes from the Bangladeshi brothers behind Winter Park’s fiercely popular Fuji Sushi. One of the brothers, known simply as Mohani to his many sushi worshippers, is to seaweed and sticky rice what Picasso was to paint and canvas. Luckily for his fans…

Voices buried
“She bop, he bop, a-we-bop/ I bop, you bop, a-they-bop/Be bop, be bop/ a-lu-she-bop/ I hope he will understand/ She bop, he bop, a-we-bop/ I bop, you bop, a-they-bop/ Be bop, be bop, a-lu-she-bop/ Oo, oo, she do, she bop, she bop. — “She Bop,” Cyndi Lauper, 1984 What a difference the words make. Or,…
Manes, for a better California
Imagine the extremes. “Fox & Friends” — and their various, nefarious clan of spin zones, hardballs and Scarboroughs — are forced, perhaps deservedly, from topical discussions of Weapons of Mass Destruction and the folk who die looking for said Easter eggs, to commenting on something as metaphorically charged as the California gubernatorial race. From talking…
Funny, you don’t look Judas
Orlando’s growing prominence on the national music scene has sharpened not only the performers but also the ear of the audience. When asked to pick the best bands in Central Florida, more than 2,000 readers of Orlando Weekly and orlandoweekly.com who voted in September picked the following. 1999 Orlando Music Awards winners Bluegrass/Country Blues …
Don’t know Dick
In Largo, Fla., private school principal (and Disney fanatic) Dick Baker, 52, was under pressure in August to resign after revelations by the St. Petersburg Times that he took chosen middle-school-age girls (his “princesses”) on dozens of overnighters to the Disney World resort, during which he supplied them with Disney-themed costumes and swimsuits (and wore…
Thanks Dubya, now get out
It’s been almost a decade since Slug first contributed to the gene pool, and nearly half as long since the second contribution. Something in the water, something in the air, something in the wine, who knows. What is known is that Slug replicated, twice. Since there is a standing rule in this paper regarding not…
Five Past Midnight in Bhopal
By Dominique Lapierre & Javier Moro (Warner Books) After reading “Five Past Midnight in Bhopal,” you may savor filling your lungs with air. Dominique Lapierre and Javier Moro’s description of the mass suffocation caused by a leak at a Union Carbide pesticide plant outside of Bhopal, India, is stunning. They vividly capture how, in the…
Bangkok 8
By John Burdett (Knopf, clothbound) Books can be deceptive enough to break your fragile little heart. On the surface of “Bangkok 8,” everything marks it as a typical mystery novel, from the gimmicky cover to the maverick police officer serving as the main character. But pity the poor genre fan who cracks this volume open…
Jones workers unpaid
There are still about 100 construction workers who say they haven’t been paid for work at historic Jones High School. About 40 workers picketed in front of Orange County Public Schools headquarters August 8, demanding that administrators force Construct Two Management Group and its subcontractor, Acoustical Ceiling Level, to pay overdue debts. According to union…
Judging the judges
The results from the latest Central Florida judicial poll are in and things don’t look good for Osceola County Judge Carol E. Draper. She scored the lowest rating of the 54 federal and state judges in the poll, in which 130 prosecutors and criminal-defense attorneys participated. Draper’s 2.48 rating (out of five points) was between…
Straw poll-less in Florida
The race for the presidency could begin where it ended in 2000, except the national Democratic Party won’t let it Last week a group of Democrats from across the country gathered in a third-floor ballroom of the downtown Sheraton Four Points overlooking Lake Eola. The purpose of the mixer, as it was billed by organizers,…
Us against the world
These are hard times for the world traveler. America’s increasingly bellicose foreign policy is making our citizens persona non grata on distant shores, and the downward spiral of our own economy means that, for many of us, a trip around the globe no longer seems feasible, even as a post-retirement victory lap. Fortunately, we still…
Olives that are worth their salt
There’s a right way and a wrong way to do olives. The wrong way is by lye-curing, the cheap, fast way they’re canned for mass consumption — at a loss of true flavor. The right way is by brine-curing, which takes 30 to 100 days and retains each olive’s distinctive flavor. At Whole Foods’ olive…
Savage salvation
Let’s set aside the fact that heavy rock, metal and hardcore are sort of all-encompassing terms often used to lump together bands that sound nothing alike. Let’s instead just have the sonic assault overwhelm us. Let’s realize that there are currently some wildly fruitful heavy rock/metal/hardcore undergrounds bubbling over. The recent Ipecac Geek Show tour,…
Sweet swoon
The Adorables are among the more aptly named bands in Orlando. It’s not necessarily the four members themselves — who, variously, have logged time in the hard rock outfit Aguklim, the retro Brit-pop Real Love Diplomats and the short-lived Christian metal band Electric Warfare (more on this one later) — though all are outgoing and…
