3 Burgers in West Michigan that you Must Try
Queso Jalapeño Burger The Burger Stella’s | 53 Commerce Ave SW, Grand Rapids, MI
If you like spice and you like kick and you also like tons of great flavor, you need to try the “Queso Jalapeño Burger” from Stella’s Restaurant in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They start out by giving you a 1/2 pound burger, cooked to your preference. Under the burger are hot pickled jalapeños while on top of the burger are two cheeses. These two cheeses are pepper jack cheese and a spicy queso cheese sauce. They also include a crispy and golden onion ring on the burger. A warm, white bun holds the massive sandwich together. The queso is house made and is a creamy sauce that brings in heat subtly while contrasting the instant heat from the jalapenos. Spicy mustard can also be requested, which brought in extra heat and flavor to this already great dish. “Chronic Fries” are served with this dish, which are french fries, but on a whole different level. What makes them chronic are the fact that they are golden and crispy, but also they have a spicy seasoning on top. The seasoning is similar to a dried buffalo spice, which really makes the fries pop with flavor in your mouth.

Brewery Vivant | 925 Cherry St SE, Grand Rapids, MI
Hamburgers are a timeless classic menu item. There are many varieties especially in Grand Rapids, Michigan, including one called “The Burger” at Brewery Vivant. This burger is not ordinary because it is a mix of house ground beef and bacon, topped with lettuce and tomato. This burger is also not minimal in size. It is a 1/2 pound of meat sandwiched in between a pretzel bun. Before you take your first bite, make sure to spread on the aioli and put on a pile of the sweet and savory bacon-onion marmalade. When you do take a bite, you are sure to get a flavor that is not like any run of the mill hamburger. You taste the care that was put into grinding the mix of meat and the toppings that compliment the dish. House cut fries, although Brewery Vivant names them frites, are served along side this burger and each one is a golden taste of deliciousness.
Bacon Cheeseburger
Corky’s Drive-In 1299 Lincoln Rd, Allegan, MI Nothing is more classic than a drive in restaurant/root beer stand that serves up great food, especially burgers. Corky’s is one of those locations in Allegan, Michigan and their Bacon Cheeseburger Basket is something your mouth will appreciate. The burger, while thin, is very juicy and packed with flavor. They top the hamburger with a slice of classic American cheese and very crispy, savory, flat top bacon. With the basket comes Battered Fries that were crispy and golden brown, something that will have you reaching for one right after another. Corky’s Onion rings are also a great menu item and are not to be missed. They are crunchy and fried to perfection! Some might even describe them as the best onion rings on the planet! When you order a drink from Corky’s, they are served in a plastic root beer mug, which really brings out the classic style of this burger joint.

World-Renowned Pianist Marc-André Hamelin to Perform in Kalamazoo

Chenery Auditorium 714 S. Westnedge Ave, Kalamazoo, MI
arc-André Hamelin, ranked among the elite pianists of the world, will perform at Chenery Auditorium, 714 S. Westnedge Ave, Kalamazoo, MI, on Saturday, November 5, 2016 at 8pm, as part of The Gilmore’s Piano Masters Series. Hamelin is respected as one of the most “prolific, technically meticulous and programmatically adventurous pianists” (WQXR) in the world. With more than 70 albums on the Hyperion Label, he is considered a master of the classical repertoire as well as an advocate of neglected music from the 19th and 20th centuries and of contemporary music. Anne Midgette of the Washington Post describes Hamelin’s playing as a “kaleidoscope of permutations.” She says Hamelin is always “looking for ways to express everything [he] is thinking, pushing up against the limits of the keyboard and its dynamics.” For Midgette, Hamelin plays with a scientific-like precision, but he can “thunder out the fireworks more ardently, and loudly, than any 20-year-old wunderkind.” Today Hamelin is recognized by fans and colleagues alike for his “brilliant musical mind, with total recall and a seemingly encyclopedic memory,” according to Masumi Rostad of the Pacifica Quartet. Hamelin is also known for his “intrepid exploration” of rare works, and in an article by the Chicago Tribune, Hamelin muses that he always carries an extra suitcase when traveling in case he finds an uncommon book, score, or “musical nugget.” Tickets start at $30 ($6 for students), and may be purchased at The Gilmore’s box office, located on the first floor of the Epic Center in downtown Kalamazoo, by phone at (269) 359-7311, or online at thegilmore.org. There will be a pre-concert talk by Zaide Pixley, Emeritus Professor of Music at Kalamazoo College, at 7 PM.

Anne Midgette del Washington Post describe juego de Hamelin como un “caleidoscopio de permutaciones.” Ella dice Hamelin siempre está “buscando maneras de expresar todo lo [que] está pensando, empujando hacia arriba contra los límites del teclado y su dinámica.” Midgette , Hamelin juega con una precisión científica similar, pero él puede prender fuegos artificiales con más ardor, y en voz alta, más que cualquier niño de 20 años de edad.” Hoy Hamelin es reconocido por fans y colegas por igual por su “mente musical brillante, con memoria total y una memoria enciclopédica aparente “, según Masumi Rostad del Cuarteto Pacifica. Hamelin es también conocido por su “exploración intrépida” de obras raras, y en un artículo por el Chicago Tribune, Hamelin, confiesa que siempre lleva una maleta extra cuando se viaja en caso de que encuentre un libro raro, o “pepita musical.” Los boletos comienzan a $ 30 ($ 6 para estudiantes), y se pueden comprar en la taquilla del The Gilmore, que se encuentra en el primer piso del Centro de Epic en el centro de Kalamazoo, por teléfono al (269) 359-7311, o en línea.

brewery that’s serving up a limited, but delicious menu is what you’ll find at the Grand Rapids Brewing Co. (GRBC). With a full line up of tap beers and full plates of food, they are one of the most respected and recognizable joints in the Grand Rapids, Michigan brew scene. 1893 is when the journey began and GRBC opened up for business. Starting out as a brewery, they had a successful run, until prohibition stalled the production. Go forward 79 years and in 2012 is when they re-opened shop in the same area, but not the same block of the original. Not only does the brewery pride itself on brewing beer and cooking food, but also recycling is a huge element that they focus on. They also keep locality within their foundation by re-using supplies to construct and by decorating with local artwork. I had an unusual burger at GRBC, with condiments and a vessel that set it apart from any other burger. With 1/2 pound of meat, which one half was enough to fill me up, the condiments included jalapeño pepper jelly and peanut butter. Yes creamy, sweet, rich, peanut butter. Also on the sandwich was thick cut bacon, and smoked cheese was an additional option, but I did not have any on mine. The meat patty and it’s dressings were sandwiched between 2 pieces of Texas toast,

english which was buttery and golden. All of these great ingredients made up the PB & J burger. House made french fries came with, which had a great seasoning blend on them and complimented the sweetness of the burger. Normally, I do not go for craft beer, but I decided to give it a try, after all, it is the Grand Rapids Brewing Co. My waitress/bartender served me two different samples, one a lighter beer and one a fruitier beer, almost a cider. I chose the light beer. It had a champagne element and crispness with each sip. Golden in color, it did not foam much on top, and had a sweet finish to it. Overall, this brewery stood out to me as being unique and a definite one to return to. It was hard to make a decision as far as what to order because it was between choosing good or better. There were at least 5 other dishes on the menu that I would have loved to have tried. I would have further explored the lighter beer menu and would have liked to have tried some of the ciders as well. The staff was great and the atmosphere made you feel right at home in such a great city.

Una cervecería la cual cuenta con un menú limitado, pero delicioso es lo que encontrará en el Grand Rapids Brewing Co. (GRBC). Con una línea completa de cervezas de barril y platos llenos de comida, son una de las articulaciones más respetadas y reconocidas de la escena de Grand Rapids, Michigan. La aventura comenzó en 1893 cuando GRBC abrió sus puertas. Empezando como cervecería, con una carrera exitosa, hasta que la prohibición estancó la producción. Después de 79 años en el 2012, GRBC volvió abrir sus puertas pero en un sitio distinto. El sitio no sólo se orgullese en la elaboración de cerveza y preparación de alimentos, sino también uno de sus mayores enfoques es el reciclaje. Mantienen productos locales dentro de su fundación y reutilizan materiales de construcción y arte local para su decoración. En este gran sitio tuve la oportunidad de probar una hamburguesa no muy usual, con condimentos y una receta que la distinguen de cualquier otra hamburguesa. Con 1/2 libra de carne, y con solo la mitad quede satisfecho. Los condimentos incluyen jalea de jalapeño y mantequilla de maní cremosita y dulce. También el sándwich era espeso, rebanadas de tocino y queso ahumado era una opción adicional. La hamburguesa de carne y adereso se intercalaron entre las 2 piezas de pan tostado el cual era crujiente y dorado. Todos estos deliciosos ingredientes formaron la deliciosa hamburguesa de PB & J. Acompañada con patatas fritas, las cuales tenían una gran mezcla de condimentos y complementaron a la hamburguesa. Normalmente, no me gusta la cerveza artesanal, pero decidí darle una oportunidad, después de todo, es Grand Rapids Brewing Co. Mi mesera me sirvió dos muestras diferentes, la primera era una cerveza ligera y una cerveza con sabor a fruta, parecida a una sidra. Escogí la cerveza ligera. Tenía un elemento de champán y crujiente con cada sorbo, con un color dorado, sin mucha espuma en la parte superior, y tenía un final toque dulce. En general, era difícil tomar una decisión en cuanto a lo qué iva a ordenar porque era una elección entre bueno o mejor. Había al menos 5 platos en el menú que me hubiera encantado haber probado. Me hubiera gustado haber tenido la oportunidad de explorar más el menú de la cerveza ligera y haber probado algunas de las sidras. El personal era excelente y el ambiente te hace sentir como en casa en una gran ciudad.
New Holland is known – thanks to Mad Hatter IPA and the Hatter Family IPAs – for an obsession with hops. Therefore, an IPA with an even more abundant hop flavor was a clear next step and a great opportunity for New Holland’s brewers to push the boundaries of hop usage while still providing an amazingly enjoyable drinking experience. New Holland is so excited about this Double IPA, and test batches have been received so positively, Hoptronix will debut as part of New Holland’s year-round lineup. “Hoptronix is a beer we have had a lot of fun with. From the beer itself to the graphics and planned launch parties. We focused on bringing forward the bold flavors of Mosaic hops in a way that will thrill hop lovers everywhere.” said Joel Petersen, VP of Marketing. “We brought our hop game to the next level using huge amounts of Mosaic hops to tickle the tongue with bitter flavors and then delight the drinker with a clean, balanced finish. This beer will surprise you and leave you wanting more. The retro graphics bring us to a time when technology was emerging and pushing the limits of what could be done with video games (and it’s also a heck of a lot of fun to play with).” .............................................................................

LILA DOWN’S PREMIERED POWERFUL NEW SINGLE “THE DEMAGOGUE”
LILA DOWNS PRESENTÓ SU NUEVO SENCILLO "EL DEMAGOGO"
english Mexican American star Lila Downs premiered a new bilingual protest song titled “The Demogogue” at the “Rise Up As One” concert. The free outdoor concert billed as a “celebration of music and unity” was broadcasted live from the U.S./Mexico border in Tijuana/San Diego on Univision and Fusion Networks.
español El nuevo sencillo de Lila Downs, “El Demagogo”, es una protesta bilingüe que nos hace recordar el espíritu folk de los 60's en voz de artistas como Bob Dylan y Joan Baez. La canción fue presentada durante "Rise Up As One", concierto que se llevó a cabo en la frontera de San Diego y Tijuana y fue transmitido en vivo a través de Univisión.
Lila’s new song “The Demagogue” recalls the 1960s folk spirit of artists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez while expressing her concern with the current U.S. elections and the escalation of rhetoric by one specific candidate for the Presidency. The song is at the same time her call to action - a rally for her vast audience to express themselves by voting on November 8. The single is available on all digital music platforms starting today.
"Rise Up As One" es un evento gratuito al aire libre que celebra la música y la unión. Entre los artistas invitados este año destacaron Natalia Lafourcade, Carlos Vives, Juanes, Los Tigres Del Norte, Andra Day y Jorge Drexler, por mencionar algunos.
Lila recently expressed her views on this subject on such broadcast programs as BBC2’s ‘Newsnight’ and ‘Al Punto’ with Jorge Ramos. “I worry that 40% of voters are supporting this man. How did this happen?” the singer commented. Lila Downs has one of the world’s most singular voices and innovative approaches to music. Born in the state of Oaxaca, Lila grew up in both Minnesota and Mexico, constantly moving between the two cultures. Throughout her storied career, she has performed in such esteemed stages as Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, the White House and the Academy Awards.
"El Demagogo” esta disponible en todas las plataformas digitales a partir de hoy. El tema es también un llamado para que el público estadounidense se exprese en las próximas elecciones que se llevarán a cabo el 8 de noviembre. Lila recientemente dio su opinión al respecto en programas como Newsnight de la BBC y Al Punto con Jorge Ramos: “Me preocupa que el 40% de los votantes estén apoyando a este hombre. ¿Cómo sucedió esto?”, comentó la cantante. Lila Downs es una de las voces más singulares e innovadoras a nivel mundial. Nacida en Oaxaca, Lila creció entre Minnesota y México, mudándose constantemente entre ambas culturas. Durante su larga trayectoria se ha presentado en prestigiosos escenarios como Carnegie Hall, Hollywood Bowl, en la Casa Blanca y durante la ceremonia de los premios Óscar.

GERARDO ORTIZ PLEADS GUILTY A new era begins in the musical career of the famous composer and performer Gerardo Ortiz. With creativity and strength as key disciplines, he continues composing his hits. "The formula is to give the public what it wants to hear, with the highest possible quality," comments the Regional Mexican idol. If anything Ortiz has demonstrated throughout his artistic career, an evolution in his songs ranging from the most romantic and escalating to the strong, progressive and picturesque corridos of his culture. The table is served to give way to his highly anticipated upcoming album, Comeré Callado, and the first course in this new stage begins with "Regresa Hermosa" (Return to me, beautiful). "Regresa Hermosa" is a loud scream full of pain and regret while extending a plea of return. Admitting that if you fight or resist the emotion in your heart the pain builds up until it explodes. Defense mechanisms have fallen and the only solution is to seek forgiveness and await the outcome. Ortiz shows in this new proposal a certain emotion that is part of the challenge of each artist to follow a line of growth without losing the essence of their musical genre.
GERARDO ORTÍZ SE DECLARA CULPABLE Comienza una nueva era en la carrera musical del célebre compositor e intérprete Gerardo Ortíz. Sólido, con la creatividad y la fuerza como principales disciplinas, continua componiendo éxitos. “La formula es darle al público lo que quiere escuchar, con la mayor calidad posible,” comenta el ídolo regional mexicano. Si algo ha logrado demostrar Ortíz, durante todo su recorrido artístico, es una evolución en sus canciones que van desde lo más romántico hasta escalar a los fuertes corridos progresivos y pintorescos de su cultura. La mesa está servida, para darle paso a su muy esperado álbum, Comeré Callado, y el primer plato en esta nueva etapa comienza con el sencillo y video “Regresa Hermosa.” “Regresa Hermosa” plasma un alarido de dolor y una súplica de ruego cual siente un corazón que ha entendido que si lucha o se resiste a la emoción, el dolor se acumulará hasta que explote. Que no hay manera de “salir rapidito” u olvidar un amor que nos marca, ni hay forma de evitar el sufrimiento cuando nos abandonan. Los mecanismos de defensa se han caído y solo queda implorar el perdón y aguardar el regreso.

Apps Designed for Easier Living
Just a generation ago, it was difficult to imagine a single palm-sized device that could serve as a phone, camera and day planner all in one. Today, smartphone users are discovering that new technology and sophisticated apps make it unbelievably easy to manage virtually every aspect of life. There are dozens of apps and innovative technologies that improve quality of life by helping individuals save money, stay comfortable and feel secure. Home security: Take peace of mind to a new level with an app like Lockitron. This app not only serves as a replacement for a clunky key ring, it also allows you to control the locks on your home remotely. It’s handy for letting in friends or family when you’re running late and keeping track of when kids arrive home from school and unlock the door. Home cooling and heating: Imagine coming home to a house that is always the perfect temperature, no matter the season. Controlling the climate in your house is easier than ever with an app like kumo cloud, a programmable remote control app that works with the Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating Wireless Interface to manage indoor cooling and heating units from anywhere in the U.S. In addition to controlling multiple locations and units in a home, the app allows you to program cooling and heating events, monitor errors in the system and see when your filters need cleaning. This all-in-one cooling and heating control app is available for iOS, Android or Fire OS enabled devices with the latest software. Learn more at kumocloud.com. Grocery shopping: Even making a grocery list is more convenient with smart list-making apps. A top pick from the analysts at The Sweet Setup is Any List, which remembers historical list items to make building new lists progressively easier with time. One of the app’s list-building shortcuts is the integrated recipe manager that populates your list with ingredients based on the dishes you’re planning to prepare. The app also lets you share and export lists, making it simple to hand off the shopping to another member of the household. Fitness tracking: Many fitness gurus recommend monitoring and logging your fitness routine to create a tangible record of your progress and keep track of effective workout programs.

Change Up Your Chili by: Maple Leaf Farms
C
hilly nights are the perfect time to pull out your favorite soup or stew recipe. Settle down with a blanket while a big pot of chili simmers on the stove. Warm, hearty and flavorful, chili is a classic comfort food, and it’s easy to customize with your favorite flavor combinations. Whether you prefer it spicy or mild, with or without beans, you can develop your own signature style. For chili connoisseurs, ground beef is usually the go-to meat, but try a new take on an old favorite by adding ground duck to your chili for something creative. Duck has the robust, red-meat texture of beef but with the lean nutritional benefits of other poultry. Farm-raised white Pekin duck has less saturated fat than beef and a mild flavor that's not considered gamey. Plus, it’s versatile and complements a variety of dishes. Substitute duck in your favorite version of chili or try this Duck Chili. Like many chili recipes, this one tastes even better the next day, making it a great dish to make ahead of time and reheat when needed. Find other duck recipes and more information about cooking with duck at mapleleaffarms.com.
