Taddy Porter takes soulful approach Anne Erickson | NOISE
Andy Brewer embraced the “Southern soundâ€? early on. “I remember as a kid driving to go ďŹ shing with my dad and hearing Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers, and loving it,â€? said the singer for Stillwater, Okla.based rock band Taddy Porter. “I remember the songs sounded pretty and explained what we were doing at the time. I was just ďŹ shing with my dad, and it all ďŹ t together. I like holding onto the nostalgia of that.â€? He’s not alone. Southern rock is entering a new era of appreciation. Just look at the upswing of Southern-avored bands on the radio: Kings of Leon, Blackstone Cherry and the Black Keys. Soulful groups like Taddy Porter are hotter than ever. “I think Southern rock has been around for awhile, but it wasn’t really prevalent in today’s music, except for
country,� he said. “But now, I hear lots of bands coming up that have a Southern sound. It’s great.� Taddy Porter, which plays shows in both Grand Rapids and Flint this week, has a fuzzy-warm success story that starts with the guys playing tiny, 10-person shows in Oklahoma and ends with them landing a tour with major-label rockers Saving Abel. That tour was a turning point. “When we were out with Saving Abel, they brought big crowds,� Brewer said. “We were the opening band and didn’t think we would get a positive reaction because we’re a different genre. But they dug us.� MySpace plays and Facebook fans went up. Way up. “After that, we realized this was something special and that we could get to a point where we could hold the crowd in our hands a little bit,� he said. On the agenda now: Finishing up the band’s yet untitled full-length, due out in April or May. The album’s debut single, “Shake Me,� harnesses a close-to-the-bone, gritty

Detroit ‘dark reggae’
The dudes of Souldub coin their style “dark reggae.” In musical terms, that means a mix of heavy metal guitars, reggae-flavored rhythms and rap-rock vocals. Think a Sublime-P.O.D.-Rage Against the Machine sandwich. The Detroit guys get inspiration from their home state. “It’s certainly apparent that our sound was born in Michigan,” vocalist Richard Ensley said. “The weather is often dark and gloomy; the urban areas are grimy and unwelcoming... I guess that vibe has just infected us as musicians, creating an unusual take on a traditionally upbeat music genre.” Souldub is wrapping up recording sessions for its upcoming full-length, “Catchabuzz,” out later this year. Get a sampling of new tracks Saturday at Mac’s Bar in Lansing. Can’t make that show?

Shout Out Louds WORK
(MERGE RECORDS)
With 1997’s insultingly underrated “Our Ill Wills,” Stockholmers and Cure acolytes Shout Out Louds crafted a melancholy, introspective album flush with self-doubt but still buoyant enough to make you dance. No small accomplishment. For its follow-up, “Work,” the band scales back the busy, sometimes erratic arrangements of “Ill Wills” and the result is their leanest, most straightforward record yet. Straight-forward doesn’t equal “best” in this case however, as “Work” fails to reach the heights of its predecessor. The ’80s pop influence is far less pronounced, and you begin to miss the desperate energy that pervaded their earlier albums. But then you notice the simple yet engaging songs. The band may have settled into a more restrained dynamic, but their songcraft is upper echelon. “Work” is a sleeper, and while not as immediately brilliant as “Ill Wills,” it will be an album you return to ... not to dig into the cryptic, deeper meanings, but just to revel in a batch of terrific songs.

an $8,000 bonus. The credit, originally scheduled to expire in 2009, has been extended until spring.
You can claim the credit if you sign a sales contract
before May 1, 2010, and close before July 1. Members of the military who serve extended duty outside the United States have until July 1, 2011 to claim the credit, as long as they sign a contract before May 1, 2011.
And that’s not all. The legislation also expands the credit, making it available to some homebuyers who already own a home but would like to trade up. CINDY BECKWITH REALTOR RE/MAX Real Estate Professionals/Lansing 517-614-2254 www.CindyBeckwith.com

Here’s who stands to benefit from the expanded homebuyers’ credit:
First-time homebuyers, which are defined as those who haven’t owned a home in the hree years before the purchase. If your spouse owned a home in that time frame, you’re not eligible. Those who qualify can claim a tax credit for 10 percent of the purchase price, up to a maximum of $8,000. And the credit is refundable, which means that if you owe less than $8000 in taxes, you’ll receive a refund for the difference. The credit is not available, however, for home purchases that exceed $800,000. The new legislation also expands the income cutoff levels. Single homebuyers with annual incomes of up to $125,000 qualify. Maried couples who file joint income tax returns can earn up to $225,000 annually. Previously, singles with incomes of more than $95,000 ($175,000 for married couples) were ineligible for the tax credit. Also, the credit doesn’t have to be repaid unless you sell your home within three years.
Existing homeowners. Homebuyers who have lived in their current home for five out of the past eight years qualify for a tax credit of up to $65,000. The deadlines are the same as for first-time homebuyers. The income thresholds for existing homeowners are also the same as those for first-time homebuyers.

When singer-songwriter Jeremy Quentin set out to record a new album for his project Small Houses, he wanted a collaboration between friends. Fortunate for Quentin, he has friends in high musical places, and Lansing names like Jen Sygit, Donny Brown (the Verve Pipe) and Sam Corbin took part in the album, “Our Dusking Sound.” “Everyone on this record is a close friend of mine, and that’s how I like to do things,” he said “Michigan means everything to me, and these people understand that.” The disc is out on Good Time Gang, the Lansing indie record label behind the Plurals, Narc Out the Reds, the Hat Madder and around a dozen other local bands. “The album is actually dedicated to the GTG,” Quentin said. “They’re just a group of friends hanging out, living together, recording albums and playing music.” Local musician John Krohn co-produced and engineered the release in his Lansing home studio, Deep Deep Pink. He’s also a friend of Quentin. “We both have a great admiration for the city of Lansing and have dedicated a great deal of ourselves to making an awesome music scene for it,” Quentin said. “Still, when we aren’t busy playing music, we take his boat out on the Red Cedar River or go to Lugnuts games.” Quentin, who splits his time between Lansing and Boston to attend Berklee Music School, says music is his main priority right now. “Small Houses is my life,” he said. “It seems like every day consists of guitar lessons and songwriting, followed by booking and playing shows.” Catch Small Houses’ CD release at Scene Metrospace in East Lansing on Saturday, Feb. 27. • Small Houses (CD release), Adam Arcuragi, Doug Mains • 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27 • $6 • Scene Metrospace, 110 Charles St., East Lansing, • Tune in: Jeremy Quentin of Small Houses will do an interview and play songs from the new album at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25 on 88.9-FM (WDBM).

SKI JUMPING
• What it is: Think long jump on skis. Skiers speed down a steep hill to a ramp and then see how far they can go in the air before landing. Preferably upright. • Where to try it: Pine Mountain Resort in Iron Mountain or Copper Peak in Ironwood • What you’ll need: Experience, if you wish to actually jump. Both Pine Mountain and Copper Peak require that you meet qualifying criteria before jumping. But, hey, you can still watch. That’s something right there. Both resorts hold annual tournaments that draw thousands of spectators. • Bragging rights: Copper Peak actually has a “ski flying” hill, the only one in the Western hemisphere. At 170 meters, it towers over Olympic-sized hills by 50 meters and shoots skiers a distance of 600 feet. Only 100 skiers in the world are qualified to fly there. And Pine Mountain hosts one of the largest annual jump competitions in the United States. With its day-long party and live music, you won’t even care that you’re not actually jumping. • For more information: Check out www.pinemountainresort.com or www.copperpeak.org
And while most states can offer you a place to figure skate or play hockey, we’re talking ski-jumping and luge here. Michigan is one of the few and the proud where you can try your hand at those hardcore Olympic events. So, now that the Vancouver games are almost over, quit whining about winter and how you have to shovel your driveway and blah, blah, blah. Light a torch under your butt and get in line for the ultimate in winter bragging rights.

LUGE
»
• What it is: In this self-proclaimed fastest sport on ice, a person lies face up on a sled and speeds down an icy track. Without screaming all the way down. • Where to try it: Lucy Hill Naturbahn Luge Track in Negaunee, Upper Peninsula • What you’ll need: Proper cold-weather clothing and $10 per person to rent a luge sled. • Bragging rights: There are only 15 luge tracks in the entire world. Not only is the Naturbahn one of them, it’s considered the largest natural luge track in the world, which is why it’s a favorite training spot for Olympic athletes. Just be aware: Only the bottom part of the track is open for public use. You have to actually know what you’re doing to run the whole thing. • For more information: Visit www.negauneeluge.freehomepage.com

• What it is: Sort of like shuffleboard on ice. One player shoves a polished, 44-pound stone down the ice toward a target while two others guide its path with specialized brooms. • Where to try it: There are at least four curling sites in Michigan, but the Midland Curling Club is the closest to Lansing. It meets at the Midland Curling Center, 2009 Jefferson Ave, Midland. • What you’ll need: Novices have a couple of options. You and your friends can rent the rink for private group lessons, or you can sign up for eight-week lessons. They provide the equipment. You can’t just, like, bring your own broom or anything. • Bragging rights: It’s not as easy as it looks on TV, so if someone mocks the sport during the next Olympics, you can smack them and say, “Hey, I’ve done it, and it’s hard.” Plus, the sport is super old, dating back to Medieval Scotland. • For more information: Check out Midland curlers at www.midlandcurls.org.

This compendium with the oh-so-intriguing title is a follow up to 2006’s “They Call Me Naughty Lola,” a ridiculously compelling collection of personal ads from the “London Review of Books.” The “Review’s” personal ads section is far superior, and far more entertaining, than any I’ve ever seen, as a full-on display of the quirky, self-deprecating, and often bizarre Rather than succumbing to the “Tall, suave man in his early 40s” personal ads hallmark, these lonely singles are brutally honest, and, as readers of the Review, rather erudite, making for outrageous and often absurd results like the following prime specimen: “I’m no Victoria’s Secret model. Man, 62.” It is ad after ad of snorts and chuckles that’ll make you feel better about the state of singlehood.

Dorothea Martin of Grand Ledge left Operation Homefront’s “Pamper Yourself” event with a bold new pink lip gloss and some added pep in her step. She received a makeover and left with a grab bag of free cosmetics from Arbonne International. The cosmetic company donated $50 million in products to the national organization Operation Homefront and helped the statewide chapters host “Pamper Yourself” events for military wives. Operation Homefront’s Michigan director Sherri Beck said the organization’s main focus is providing aid to families of deployed soldiers, but that the makeover event was meant as a “morale boost.” Beck’s husband is a first sergeant in the National Guard. She started running the Michigan chapter of Operation Homefront in 2008, and found that the young spouses of deployed soldiers often feel sheltered during their husbands’ deployments. “We try to get them out and get their mind off their husband being overseas,” Beck said. Martin’s husband is now retired from the military, and she also serves. She stopped in to see friends and show support. “It’s important for the women to know they have each other,” Martin said. “It reminds them that they’re special. That they’re not just a single parent all of a sudden having to do everything themselves. They’re still a woman.”

REGAN-ERA COMEDY Anne Erickson | NOISE
Brian Regan shows viewers the funny in plenty of different venues, including two Comedy Central specials — 2008’s The Epitome of Hyperbole and 2007’s Brian Regan Standing Up — and a roster of late-night appearances. He makes his way as a “clean” comic in an R-rated genre. The Las Vegas-based comedian headlines the Wharton Center Cobb Great Hall in East Lansing on Sunday. In preparation for the gig, NOISE caught up with the funnyman to talk beginner’s jitters, life on the road and Johnny Carson. NOISE: Did you always think there was a career for you in comedy? Regan: I didn’t always think there was a career for me in comedy, even after I was doing it. I remember one time about six months after my first night onstage and after several consecutive bad shows, I looked at myself in a mirror and thought, “Am I out of my mind? Why in the world do I think I can do this?” But for some reason, I wouldn’t let myself quit. NOISE:: You tour a lot. When people think of touring, they usually think of bands. What’s life on the road like for a comedian? Regan: One time early in my career, I performed on a “Comedy Night” at a club that usually featured bands. The club put the other comedians and I up at the “Band House,” where, of course, they usually housed the bands. Yowza. I remember a room with about 43 beds in it. I was like, “It has to be tough living like this.” Then, I went to sleep on one of the 43 beds.
12 | NOISE
| lansingnoise.com
NOISE: You’ve been a fixture of late-night TV for years. Do you have a favorite experience? Regan: One of my favorite TV experiences is getting to do The Tonight Show, hosted by Johnny Carson, about a year before he retired. When I was standing behind that curtain while Johnny Carson introduced me, I don’t think I’d ever been more scared, yet more excited, in all my life. NOISE: You’ve made your reputation as a clean comic. Is keeping it clean important to you? Regan: The “clean” thing for me is not the point of my comedy. I don’t sit down at my desk and say, “Boy, am I going to write some clean jokes today!” I like to work clean because it’s fun for me. But there are many comedians out there who work blue, who I think are great. NOISE: So, does being clean just feel natural? Regan: I guess it does feel natural for me to work clean. A couple years ago, an old friend surprised me with an audio tape we recorded in college. It was a goofy little thing where he was interviewing me. When I listened to the tape, I noticed he kept trying to work towards blue stuff, but I kept steering away from that in my answers. It was interesting for me to hear how I thought “comedically” even before I thought about becoming a comedian.

Misery Index vocalist and bass player Jason Netherton lives to tour with his bandmates, and that’s good, since the death metal group has over 30 shows scheduled through April. “The four of us make a total experience out of it,” he said, chatting from Baltimore, Md. “Rather than just going from show to show and drifting through the hours in-between, we make time to see what’s going on around us and meet people.” The Relapse outfit plays Mac’s Bar in Lansing on Friday, Feb. 26, along with a solid line-up: Satyrasis (Lansing thrash), Dagon (Lansing “ocean metal”), Circle of Dead Children (Pittsburgh, Pa. grindcore) and Magrudergrind (Washington, D.C. grindcore). Netherton took the time to talk with NOISE about the band’s forthcoming release. NOISE: You guys have a new album out May 11, “Heirs to Thievery.” Great title. Netherton: Thanks. Yeah, I was looking for inspiration after recording out last record, “Traitors,” and I got interested in different themes in American history, which aren’t talked about too much. A lot of stuff that happened doesn’t fit the prevailing heroic monologue of American history. I thought it would be interesting to talk about that, because we’re a metal band, so we’re supposed to have good material to get all riled up about and scream about. NOISE: So, what are some specific themes? Netherton: I read this book by Howard Zinn called, “A People’s History of the United States,” and it chronicles the alternative history from the view of people who were oppressed: Native Americans, slaves, the working class. NOISE: Who are your death metal and thrash icons? Netherton: The grandfathers of the scene that go back to the ’80s. When I was a kid, I used to look up to Metallica, Iron Maiden and their counter parts in underground. When death metal came out in the late ’80s and early ’90s, I got into Carcass, Napalm Death — most everything on Earache Records. NOISE: What do you love about the metal genre? Netherton: Mostly I like the universal, worldwide camaraderie of it. You can meet a metal fan anywhere in the world, and there’s this unspoken friendship you already have. You bond right away, talk about the same music and usually have a similar worldview. It’s a good subculture. • Misery Index, Magrudergrind, Satyrasis, Circle of Dead Children, Dagon • 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 26 • Mac’s Bar, 2700 E.

An absolute non-event in theaters, Steven Soderbergh’s fact-based tale about a corporate snitch with a penchant for omitting crucial details figures it can stay afloat based on a pleasant, almost jaunty tone and one excellent performance. Alas, that is not the case. And while “Informant!” does not entirely sink into a sea of mediocrity, it barely treads water. 85 percent of the film’s worth comes from Matt Damon’s amusing, nuanced performance. As the titular tattle-tale, Damon unloads an arsenal of ticks, idiosyncrasies and line deliveries (particularly his inner monologues) that represent the entirety of “Informant!”’s laughs. An interesting supporting cast (including the enjoyably reemerging Scott Bakula) are given nothing to do, and the movie just seems to take its time when moving at a swifter clip would have done wonders. While not an abject failure, “Informant!” is a modestly charming but entirely forgettable film, that only serves to remind you that Damon has some acting range.

Skype coming to Verizon
A service that’s currently only available for the iPhone through AT&T is coming to Verizon Wireless customers. Starting late March, Verizon users will be able to download a free Skype application that lets them call or instantmessage other Skype users for free or call regular phone numbers outside the United States. These calls would go over Verizon’s network and would not use up minutes on a cell phone plan. Minutes would be deducted, however, to use Skype to call regular phone numbers in the U.S., Verizon said. Initially, the mobile application will be available for nine Verizon phones, including several BlackBerry models and Motorola Inc.’s Droid and upcoming Devour handsets. Compiled by Esther Gim | NOISE

Don’t be misled, Olympics coverage follows the money
Apparently, hockey fans just don’t have the clout for primetime network television. All abuzz the nation was (and is) this week over the programming choices of one National Broadcast Company. Last Sunday, the men’s Olympic hockey game between Team USA and Team Canada got bumped to cable in favor of … ice dancing. Cue outrage, hysteria, and allout blasphemy on behalf of nearly every male sports media pundit in America. I wasn’t angry at all — and I won’t claim to be the most even-tempered journalist. (See: Tiger Woods commentary from a few weeks back.) Two things I do have: MSNBC and an opposable thumb capable of remote control operation. I empathize with those who don’t have cable packages allowing them to watch cable events on NBC’s family of channels, but at the same time — can you blame them? Let’s discuss ice dancing for a brief moment. If any sport of the Winter Olympiad is more maligned, I can’t think of it. Combine the ornate and (sometimes) downright fluffy costumes of pairs figure skating, but take out all of the gasp-inducing aerial stunts and what you end up with is an event widely considered to be the best thing to cure insomnia. I fell asleep at least twice. Let’s be honest — it isn’t the most exciting event. I won’t deny that. However, if NBC looks at the thing that matters to them, it’s not who’s snoozing to skating or crying on the couch. It’s that television is on when they’re doing it. While hockey fans across North America seethed, NBC cashed in on enormous ratings by splitting their audience between
A NDI O S T ER S ostersan@gmail.com
two channels. Ice dancing allows for frequent breaks, cut-ins and programming options — hockey doesn’t. Ice dancing ropes in a largely female viewership that hockey simply cannot draw. And really, it’s not like NBC cut into the hockey game during the last four minutes of the third period to show you the latest dazzling footwork choreography from the Russian dancers. This wasn’t the Super Bowl and Heidi. The network gave plenty of notice and justified its choices for exactly the reasons outlined above. Unfortunately, it’s situations like this one that remind us all that the Olympics, no matter how warm and fuzzy, are a business. It’s like when the ice cream truck drove by in the summer and I’d scamper out there with a dime, hoping to get something. Sorry, Andi, that’s a big negative. That creepy guy driving the truck still needs to fill his cash box. The thing is, the feel-good stories about your favorite Olympians are designed to connect an audience with a product — a tightly packaged, neatly wrapped, highly valued product. The bottom line here is that sponsorships, ratings and demographics still drive what ends up on your tube, and no amount of griping and moaning is going to change that. Still, this female journalist really hopes that those hockey medal games are on network in high-definition, especially if our boys in the red, white and blue have a chance. Andi Osters, 27, is a Michigan State graduate.

Saucy, meaty wings satisfy
WILD WING CAFE
Esther Gim | NOISE
What makes a great chicken wing? A sauce that’s flavorful and sticks to the meat with every bite. And a wing with enough meat that’s crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. We set out to see if Wild Wing Cafe in Okemos passed the test.
THE SCENE
Since the end of July 2009, Wild Wing Cafe has been making its home at the former Bennigan’s restaurant, which Aaron recalled as “dingy.” We both agreed the new place seemed anything but. Sunshine streaming through the windows brightens up the place as you eat. If you’re sitting up at the bar, no matter where you sit, a TV will be in front of you.
THE FOOD
Wild Wing Cafe boasts its 33 flavors of buffalo sauce, each with a fun description on the menu (“E.T. found this cheeser pleaser, now he won’t phone home”). The
2085 W. Grand River Ave., Okemos, 349-2321. www.wildwingcafe.com • 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. MondayThursday • 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. FridaySaturday • 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday
An eight-piece order of the slayer and flaming parmesan wings for $6.99 menu is helpful because a “heat index” from medium to sweltering designates the hotness of your flavor. There are also sandwiches, wraps, burgers, ribs — all the usuals at a sports bar. An order of eight wings for $6.99 can get you two different types of sauces, which is good (for variety’s sake), but bad because Aaron and I had a tough time choosing our flavors. Thankfully, the waitress suggested the popular flavors even before we had a chance to ask — the general (as in tso, the Chinese flavor), flam-
ing parmesan and the wild west (tangy-ranch style). As a fan of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” I knew I had to have the slayer, described on the menu as “this hot garlic wing helps Buffy kick some demon butt.” I got the flaming parmesan, as well. Aaron decided on the red, hot and bleu and the jalapeno cheddar. The wings came out the way I expect them to — lots of sauce and lots of meat. The more I ate my slayer flavor, the hotter it got. It wasn’t a bad thing because it was good — but my weak
stomach definitely hated me for it later. Aaron enjoyed his wings too, particularly the way the jalapeno pieces were blended into the chicken. The wings are served with ranch or bleu cheese and plenty of celery. We also shared a side of fries ($2.59).
THE DAMAGE
$17.56 (including tax, but not tip)
NEXT TIME
I’ll go a little easy on the sauce, and try either the lemon pepper or the old yeller “(a Carolina mustard classic”), both on the low end of the hot scale.

Fitness Want to add a little Olympic inspiration to your workout? The American Institute of Healthcare & Fitness provides a few ideas on how to get a gold medal physique: • Speed Skater Lunges: With your hands on your hips, stand feet shoulderwidth apart, head up and torso erect. From there, step with your right leg straight out to your side, as deep as you can go without moving your left foot. Plant your right foot and bend your right knee to 90 degrees. Then, flexing the muscles of your thigh, push yourself back up to a standing position and repeat the movement with your left leg. Alternate side-to-side until you’ve completed at least 10 repetitions per leg. • Body-weight squat (legs): Put your hands on your hips. From a standing position, feet about shoulder-width apart, squat down until both knees reach 90 degrees. As you lower yourself, keep your lower back slightly arched, head up, and squat as if you were going to sit in a chair. Once you reach the bottom position, power yourself back up to a standing position and then repeat. • Cross-country lunges: Lunge across the room moving your arms as if you are cross country skiing, or go to the steps and take two at a time with a lunging movement, moving your arms as well to tone your quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes. • Hand stand push-ups: You can start with regular push ups, then put your feet up on a chair and increase the angle until you are doing push ups from the hand stand position. Great pole vaulters do this. This works your chest, shoulders and triceps muscle.

TROPPO
Eclectic mix suits new, upscale Troppo When I first went into Troppo’s new location, directly across the street from the old location, I thought it looked like old money; one of those men’s clubs where grey-haired bankers sit around reading the New Yorker, smoking cigars and talking about the stock exchange, which is funny because it’s a nonsmoking venue. Executive Chef Jason Keusch set me straight. “We really cater more toward women. If you look at the place, it’s really Art Deco. If you look at the materials we used to accomplish that, the fleur-de-lys fabric on the chairs, the sunken fire pit, which I think is the coolest thing we have, the carpets that we chose, it’s all for women. Girls night out is a very popular thing here.” Keusch said there is no signature dish. Instead, it is “whatever you’re paying for,” he laughed. “We’re an eclectic Italian restaurant; a bunch of Germans cooking Italian, but seriously, this is the most refined our menu has ever been. It’s eclectic Italian, but a lot of American standbys; there’s Asian influences, just a lot of different flavors from around the world.” I asked Keusch about the move from it’s original location in East Lansing, to the former Michigan Avenue spot. “Troppo is expensive to operate, and when you aren’t selling a lot of food, you aren’t making a lot of money,” he said. “So we put The Post there and moved to down here, and it worked.” The most recent move across the street gives Troppo a lot more space, including three separate meeting rooms, ranging from 12 to 20 people, to an expandable banquet space upstairs that seats about 200 people. Plus they added an 80-person seasonal patio with a fireplace and a lounge area, where I hung out one Monday evening

with a couple of groups of friends and had a really great time. Troppo can cost $40 for a night out if you want it to, but if you jump on the Social Hour train from 3 to 6 p.m., you can score nine different items ranging from $3 to $5. I had a raspberry Troppo-Tini (raspberries marinated in Stoli vodka for 72 hours) that will set you back on your heels after just one, and split a lumberjack-sized portion of macaroni & cheese with my wife. I’m a Mac ‘n Cheese connoisseur, and this recipe made me want to lick the bowl clean. Keusch thinks Troppo is a Lansing success story, from having an identity crisis when it first opened to where it stands today. “We’ve always been trained to jump the chasm of breaking out of the box: Are you a dining room? Are you a bar? Are you a night-
