DANGER SIGNS Why last week’s building collapse felt like history repeating. By Daniel Denvir

ast week’s building collapse on Market Street sent a fourstory brick wall through the roof of the neighboring Salvation Army, killing six and bringing scrutiny to city oversight of the demolition industry. Since then, the Department of Licenses & Inspections has been the subject of particularly heavy criticism for failing to investigate contractor Griffin Campbell’s qualifications or to adequately inspect the work site. In fact, it’s not within L&I’s practices to do so. City Council and Mayor Nutter have pledged to review regulation and oversight of demolitions. But given the existing processes — which include rubber-stamping permits without requiring a safety plan or checking the qualifications of the demolition workers or architect “expeditors” — it’s amazing something like this didn’t happen sooner. Only, it did. Last December, the walls of a fire-damaged, three-story bar, Elena’s Soul Lounge on Baltimore Avenue in West Philly, collapsed during demolition, showering debris onto neighboring businesses. As in last week’s collapse, witnesses said the danger was evident — and that workers didn’t seem to know what they were doing. “Everything I watched and witnessed didn’t look right,” said one bystander. So was this a case of the city snoozing through what could’ve been a lifesaving wake-up call? “These are totally different cases,” says L&I spokesperson Maura

Kennedy. “The Market Street case was where the building was in reasonable repair and had no structural issues, and the owners chose to proactively demolish the structure.” At Elena’s, “The building became so unstable and imminently dangerous that the building had to come down immediately.” L&I contends the damage there merely reflects the inherent risk of tearing down a fire-damaged building in a rowhouse city. Unlike the Salvation Army, the businesses adjacent to Elena’s had been vacated by order of L&I. But demolition workers and witnesses cite the same type of incompetence that was apparent at the Salvation Army. “I don’t think they knew what they was doing,” said one worker cleaning debris for Gama Wrecking, which was hired to finish the job. First, bricks rained down on Cedar Park Cafe, next to Elena’s, when an excavator was used to knock the roof loose from below, destabilizing the wall, according to Elena’s owner Algernong Allen. The excavator had previously gutted the front interior of the building, witnesses say, leaving the roof and side walls intact. The machine operator grew “visibly frustrated as the steel beams he was using bent, one after the other,” Allen wrote in an email. “Then, he began to use the claw to hit the roof joists from beneath. Some loosed. With one upward swing the roof was detached, but bricks were toppled into the [cafe].” Later, the side walls crumbled. A bystander’s video shows an excavator holding a long rod — apparently a beam picked out of the debris — which it repeatedly knocks against the wall. The top of the wall falls

“I don’t think they knew what they was doing.”

✚ ABANDONED HOPE On the heels of last week’s disastrous building collapse, City Council President Darrell Clarke announced a plan to raise taxes on vacant properties across the city. It was a fresh attempt to crack down on blight — or, at least, that’s what it sounded like. News reports noted the proposed legislation actually was a tweak to an existing 2000 “non-utilization tax” sponsored by Clarke that was never enforced, allegedly because it would violate the state’s uniformity clause, requiring all properties to be taxed equally. How, exactly, would the new bill rectify that failure? Apparently, by gutting the part of the tax that applies to vacant lots. That’s right, the new tax would not apply to vacant lots, only to buildings. Clarke’s office stressed that this change was necessary to make the tax enforceable, but also conceded that the official explanation for the city’s failure to enforce it thus far might be a lot of hot air. It turns out, Council actually passed an even earlier version of the law in 1981. Deceased activist Ed Schwartz pushed for the bill, then called the “vacancy tax.” Vacant property owners were apoplectic.“People showed up in Council Chambers en masse … they didn’t want this tax,” Schwartz said in a 2003 Council hearing. More importantly, the mayor at the time didn’t want to enforce it. The city backed off. Schwartz said the city knew even back then that the tax didn’t violate the uniformity clause. Clarke’s office admitted that politically influential parking-lot owners and home owners with side yards were the biggest reason the tax hadn’t been enforced — and why the vacant-lot provision has now been stripped away. Mayor Nutter’s spokesman wouldn’t comment on it, but sources say Nutter isn’t interested in pushing for enforcement. After all, he tried as a councilman to repeal the tax.

It seems that, 32 years later, Council still doesn’t want to alienate vacant-land owners with the tax, and the administration still doesn’t —Ryan Briggs want to enforce it. Talk about déja vu.

✚ STEEL DEAL Last week’s catastrophe stirred local leaders to do the expected: Pledge action to stop such a thing from happening again. But it’s been just over a year since our last deadly building collapse, when two firefighters died in the blazing Thomas Buck Hosiery, a haven for squatters. Then, lawmakers also pledged action — most prominently passing a law to seal all large vacant commercial structures with steel plates. So, where are those steel plates, anyway? Did Licenses & Inspections actually seal the 314 buildings in question? And has Mayor Nutter even budgeted for such efforts? Well, there are no steel plates.“We started doing masonry seals,” says L&I spokesperson Maura Kennedy. She couldn’t say how many buildings had been sealed that way. And, no, administration spokesman Mark McDonald says, the mayor did not request additional funding for sealing — he says no more funding is needed to accomplish it. But Councilwoman Maria Quiñones-Sánchez, who sponsored the bill and chairs Council’s L&I committee, says L&I told her it would cost around $1.5 million to $2 million to do all needed sealing. She’s trying to add about $1.5 million to L&I’s budget to cover both masonry sealing and demolition of some structures. “We want to target blighted, dangerous buildings.” Kennedy says that’s just what L&I is doing now. It begins by sealing structures with plywood, and responds to any break-ins by using masonry on all second seals. Quiñones-Sánchez says it is a good start: “Now we need to ramp that up.” —Samantha Melamed >>> continued on page 10

… is in the lobby

AIR FORCE ³ LAST WEEK, Philly airport workers crowded

into City Council to demand improved access to jobs, better conditions and, critically, the extension of Philly’s 21st Century Minimum Wage rules to airport subcontractors. Council members heard them loud and clear, and expressed their solidarity in a committee hearing. Councilwoman Cindy Bass, for example, said Philly should be proud of its airport, “and I’m not proud of coming to the airport and having a baggage handler make $7 per hour.” Then, the Council committee promptly approved a new, two-year lease agreement for Philly airlines — without fulfilling the workers’ requests. Why the dissonance? According to SEIU 32BJ — a union that does not represent the workers but is advocating for them — it came down to behind-thescenes threats by US Airways, which is preparing to merge with American Airlines and invest $734 million in an expanded hub at the airport. “There was discussion of US Airways possibly threatening to move to Charlotte if the lease was touched. Unfortunately, it looks like Councilman [Kenyatta] Johnson caved to US Airways’ bullying,” says Wayne MacManiman, 32BJ’s district director. Whatever a “discussion of a possible threat” might sound like, Yvette Ousley, a spokesperson for Johnson, whose 2nd District includes the airport, says Johnson was well aware that US Airways has options outside Philly. “They don’t have any money invested here yet. They could take their money and go elsewhere, which they had threatened to do,” she says. “We’ll have greater leverage when they come back [to renew their lease].” She insists Johnson “didn’t make any promises to anyone,” and was “never dealing with 21st Century Wages, and we told them that up front.” Johnson in the end did help create a memo regarding job fairs and internship programs at the airport. As well, US Airways agreed to a “labor harmony” provision, but one that 32BJ claims would actually make matters worse for workers. US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher denied any threats were made. “Absolutely not,” he said. But “the costs to operate here need to make economic sense for our hub operation to be viable.” In any case, a source familiar with the process says 32BJ staged an 11th-hour effort, and any afterthe-fact changes to the lease would’ve thrown the whole contract into question. Plus, the source says, threats can go both ways, and the workers’ lobby made a few: “The SEIU talks like they didn’t lobby, but they worked those halls pretty heavily.” —Samantha Melamed

“They should have done it by hand. Start with the roof.” inward; the rest tumbles onto the roof of Gary’s Nails. L&I contends a hand demolition would have been impossible. But a demolition professional familiar with the job says it could have been accomplished with a high-reach cherry picker. “They pushed those two walls on top of those two-story buildings, which they should have never done. You bring in a highreach and you do the rest by hand. How about that? … You start from the roof and work your way down.” There was a major difference between the work on Market Street and the Elena’s job, though: At Elena’s, the contractors were hired directly by L&I. L&I says it first hired JPC Group Inc. for the job. JPC declined to comment, but in January said it was not involved. JPC and Gama, which was hired to complete the demolition, are both on a “bid list” of firms hired to demolish buildings for the city. L&I did not take responsibility for destroying the two businesses. Instead, they cited them, giving them 30 days to repair or demolish their buildings — the same buildings the L&I-contracted crew had destroyed. It is unclear whether the crew followed Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. OSHA requires that “no wall section, which is more than one story in height, shall

be permitted to stand alone without lateral bracing” unless it is self-supporting. L&I contends the walls could not have safely been laterally braced. “That wall was in imminent danger of collapse,” says Kennedy. “You can’t put someone underneath a wall that may crumble.” But Allen says workers placed tires on the roofs of the adjoining businesses — under those same walls. The tires, the demolition professional says, protect from light debris. “If you lose the whole fucking wall, all the tires in the world ain’t stopping the weight.” Perhaps most significantly, L&I did not require an engineering survey of the building and adjacent structures before demolition, as required by OSHA. Kennedy says there was no time for such a survey. OSHA, however, says that’s no excuse. “There are no exceptions,” says OSHA spokesperson Leni Uddyback-Fortson. (daniel.denvir@citypaper.net)

✚ SOLO EFFORT Last week, a City Council committee held a hearing on Philadelphia2035, the City Planning Commission effort to update Philly’s land-use and zoning maps one district at a time. It was a committee of one:The only lawmaker who showed up was 3rd District Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, who had called the hearing. A few weeks earlier, Blackwell had invited a reporter into her office and pointed accusingly at two posters, displaying the current and proposed zoning designations for a portion of her district. “I don’t know what it means,” she complained. “Look how they changed all this. Look how they changed these colors, this color. … I don’t know what they mean. So they can’t bring me a bill and say, ‘Vote for it.’” Blackwell explained that she was concerned that the Planning Commission was bypassing Council in its planning process, and excluding Council members from public meetings. But the Commission insists Council members are invited to all public meetings, and have ultimate say over the plans, anyway. At the hearing, Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger assured Blackwell the map

changes that had so alarmed her were mostly not substantive, and merely reflected new zoning classifications. Blackwell’s six fellow housing committee members apparently weren’t concerned enough even to show up. So why was she? Her ire appeared to have been stoked by Tiffany Green and Theresa McCormick of Concerned Citizens of Point Breeze, the same duo behind Blackwell’s controversial change to the rules for community groups’ input on zoning. At the hearing, Green testified that the new zoning code is a tool for gentrification. Too much development, she said, “has a white face.”

Not much came out of the hearing, but Blackwell still wants more input in planning. Currently, she fears, “People assume [Philadelphia2035 is] an agenda that we all agreed to down here, and it isn’t. I may not disagree, but I don’t know anything about it.” —Jared Brey

icepack By A.D. Amorosi

³ FOR A COUPLE weeks now, I’ve been Icepacking about what Philly’s top-notch theater lasses will be up to in the immediate future. Deborah Block — one of the Fringe Fest’s original fire-starters and co-artistic director of Theatre Exile — will soon take on Exile founder Joe Canuso’s job as producing artistic director. “Joe and I have been talking about this transition for several years,” says Block. Canuso, she says, will move into the role of “founding artistic director” where he’ll continue to plan each Exile season and direct one show a year. (He and Trish Kelly, his wife and Exile cofounder, travel as well, so don’t be shocked at a Canuso Live in Krakow event.) “I consider this a gift that Joe is giving me,” says Block. “I will take good care of it. Joe knows that.” ³ Then there’s Jess Conda, who’ll start flaunting her new role as Brat Productions’ artistic director (Madi Distefano is off to New Mexico) with this week’s opening of the evilly comic spaghetti (emphasis on pasta) Western The Last Plot in Revenge at Lucy’s Hat Shop. “I’ve just ended two years of extensive, ass-kicking training at the Pig Iron School and am beginning my journey as Brat’s AD, so it’s a big week,” says Conda. Revenge is also the big debut of new Brat resident artist/playwright Brian Grace-Duff. “Everything about this show is badass, as it’s equal parts Deadwood,dinner theater and Brechtian barroom beer-buzz-infused party. If you want to get a good look at what the future of Brat looks like, attend this show.” (See Agenda, p. 28.) ³ Diner en Blanc, the now-annual everybody-in-white dinner party held in an undisclosed location, finally announced that this year’s event would double as my birthday party on Aug. 22. I like bow ties. More info at philadelphia.dinerenblanc.info. ³ I grew up near St. Mary of Czestochowa Church in Southwest Philly, so I’m into anything Polish: Developer Stanislaw “Stosh” Stachowski is going big for his 250-seat restaurant Royal Cracovia, opening in Magnolia, N.J., in late July. He’ll serve standards such as bigos (hunter’s stew), kielbasa, pierogi and zapiekanka (Polish pizza bread). Stosh spent $3.5 million on the spot, including a million-dollar kitchen. ³ On June 17, folk-punk doyenne Jen Hess and her pal Hotch play a benefit concert at Doobies for Piglet, the famed cat owned by Kirsten Hess (of Sisters fame), who has had pricey medical bills. I’ll second that. ³ This past Monday, Clear Channel Media and Entertainment Philadelphia brought the irksome sounds of smooth jazz and WJJZ back to the airwaves on 1480 AM and 106.1 HD2, with Michael Tozzi back as programmer, like he was from 1995 to 2008. I’ll give Tozzi one more shot. If it’s too ripe, I’m on him like a lemur. ³ More Icepack appears every Thursday at citypaper.net/criticalmass. (a_amorosi@citypaper.net)

[ improvisation/rock/experimental ]

RESPECT FOR THE DEAD Chris Forsyth and the Solar Motel Band kick out the jams at Ortlieb’s. By Elliott Sharp

uitarist Chris Forsyth and I have a mutual friend on Facebook. The friend recently posted this obscure quote from an old album review penned by critic Robert Christgau: “Contains the finest rock improvisation ever recorded.” Forsyth was the first commenter to name the album. “Duh,” he wrote. “Live/Dead. What else could it be?” A week later, Forsyth and I talk about Grateful Dead’s 1969 masterpiece. “I like that record just fine,” he says. “But as far as the Dead goes, I got on the train late. In fact, I used to actively dislike them, and there was a huge amount of baggage I had to shed to get here. Now I appreciate them because they never treated their music as artifact, but always as a living thing they created on the spot. With that sort of creativity happening live, onstage, anything can happen.” Forsyth’s new outfit, the Solar Motel Band, has the same goal. The Thursday-night residency he and his bandmates — guitarist Paul Sukeena (Spacin’), bassist Peter Kerlin and drummer Steve Urgo (ex-War on Drugs) — are doing for the entire month of June at Ortlieb’s Lounge is the perfect proving ground. The residency began last week with two commanding sets of heavily improvised, all-instrumental rock music. Having seen Forsyth perform as a solo guitarist on numerous occasions, and also as the sole guitarist in his short-lived Paranoid Cat Band, the

biggest surprise was hearing him play with another guitarist. Like Forsyth’s previous work — his most recent solo release was last year’s Kenzo Deluxe — many of the new songs are centered on a simple, repeated, melodically hypnotic guitar phrase. In the past, that phrase would unravel sometimes, but with the Solar Motel Band, it always does. This band actively de-centers Forsyth’s original structures, but then Sukeena, on second guitar, provides a subtly shifting melodic pattern that ultimately gives Forsyth more freedom to freak out and, well, jam. Forsyth would likely puke at this classification, but the Solar Motel is kind of a jam band. And there’s nothing wrong with that. My first taste of Forsyth’s music was his weirdo psych/folk/noise trio Peeesseye. That band released about a dozen records, mostly on Forsyth’s Evolving Ear label, in the late ’00s. Each one sounded different, and the same contrarian spirit animated Peeesseye’s concerts — one night they’d make music suitable for a Zen garden, and the next night they’d stab you with sonic hate. It was loose and jammy, but nothing like the Grateful Dead; Peeesseye’s music was often beautiful, but the venomous beast had no tolerance for Deadhead hippie bullshit. Over the last few years — beginning with his 2009 solo album, Dreams — Forsyth has gradually become more comfortable with the fact that, way down inside, he is a rock ’n’ roll guitarist. The aforementioned baggage he had to shed was, at least in part, the burden

Ortlieb’s Lounge is the perfect proving ground.

[ howling like a wounded spirit ] ³ blues harp

Daft Punk can keep their randomly accessed analog memories; British brother duo Disclosure is using much more precise, calibrated means (pinprick-crisp digital beats, icy smart-missile synth hooks) to summon a specific place (London, the predominant home turf of their myriad guest vocalists: Jessie Ware, Jamie Woon, AlunaGeorge, etc.) and time (the turn-of-the-century heyday of sleek, syncopated U.K. garage). No slight on our beloved Parisian disco-bots, but Settle (PMR/Island) is looking like the dance party album to beat this summer. —K. Ross Hoffman

Blues harmonica can howl like a wounded spirit, particularly with amplified processing in the tradition of its genius innovator, Little Walter Jacobs. Remembering Little Walter (Blind Pig), recorded live in concert, crackles with the energy bouncing between crowd and players, the latter almost a crowd themselves. Charlie Musselwhite, Mark Hummel, Billy Boy Arnold and Sugar Ray Norcia pay tribute to the Little —Mary Armstrong Walter canon with respect and virtuosity.

Jon Hopkins is no stranger to warm, ambient soundscapes, as

his collaborations with Brian Eno, Coldplay and King Creosote all attest. But the producer’s fourth solo album finds him in rougher terrain. Just a little. Six of the eight cuts on Immunity (Domino) are beat-based and appreciably danceable, The Field’s feathery minimal trance commingled with Dntel’s warmed-over glitch techno. It all sounds pretty glorious, but it’s the glacially paced, nearly beatless title track — the most luxuriantly billowing bliss-out Four Tet never made — that’s most heart-meltingly resonant. —K. Ross Hoffman

³ bass music finds the Greece-born British producer keeping things interesting, thanks to just the right balance of left-field edginess and bouncy fun. A melting pot of sounds — dancehall reggae, footwork, grime, electro-funk and video-game soundtracks — gets stirred and smoothed by thick drums and bold, forward-thinking synths. Highlights? “A Serious Ting,” featuring Parly B on vocals, the awesomely twisted “You’re Not Going Anywhere” and closer “Are You Mad,” a rugged grime tune featuring Dialect spitting raw bars. —Gair “dev79” Marking

THIS IS THE END

Speculation and sales of Molson Golden ran high. unpredictable. Sure, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion and Shania Twain are Canadian, but so are Leonard Cohen, The Cowboy Junkies and Joey Shithead. For every hockey-haired seal-clubber, there’s a Canadian like former First Lady Margaret Trudeau or porn actor Peter North who’s all about a different type of clubbing. Yes, you never know what you’re going to get when it comes to Canadians. So when Vancouver’s Skinny Puppy announced that they’d be releasing a new CD in 2013, speculation and sales of Molson Golden ran high. Since the band’s formation in 1982, Skinny Puppy has covered a lot of (frozen Canadian) ground. Would this release be another straight-up rock record like The Greater Wrong of the Right? Would it be more like the abrasive Too Dark Park? Would it be an entire CD of Bryan Adams covers? Weapon is a CD entirely made of contradictions — contradictions that work. It’s harsh and gritty, but catchy as ice-fishing on Lake Ontario. Weapon sounds new, but also has the feel of late-’80s/early’90s industrial. There are glitch beats, for example, but they don’t sound pre-programmed. They aren’t accidental, yet they sound as wonderfully unintentional as an unbalanced washing machine filled with beaver pelts. The listener is hooked by the second track,“IllisiT,” and its chant of “This is a criminal age!” Halfway through “Survivalisto,” your faith in the power of integrated circuits to make music has been restored. Verdict: This is a very, very good CD. Whether you’re Canadian or not, you will buy this CD. You will buy it and listen to it and you will thank me. (r_anonymous@citypaper.net)

[ C+ ] CALLING This Is the End a vanity project would be a disservice to the concept of vanity. Littered with actors playing juiced-up versions of themselves in a SoCal that’s somehow become the epicenter of the eschaton, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s marathon hash-oil sesh of a directorial debut is brazen in its self-service, the biggest laughs muffled by an insistence that we should be having fun watching just because they’re having so much fun performing. The action starts when Rogen picks up old buddy Jay Baruchel from the airport for a weekend of L.A. debauchery, and then is immediately accosted by a TMZ cameraman who asks him why he plays the same character in every movie. We’re barely given a second to ponder that prescient point before Rogen starts smoking a shitload of weed. Oh, Seth! He convinces the Hollywood-reluctant Baruchel to attend weirdo James Franco’s housewarming party, where a coked-out Michael Cera gets walloped for slapping Rihanna’s butt while Jason Segel and Kevin Hart chat career goals. Then, the Rapture: A sinkhole opens up in the front lawn, sucking in attendees as the hills smolder with hellfire. Already at odds over their strained friendship, Baruchel and Rogen end up barricaded inside Franco’s manse along with Craig Robinson, Jonah Hill and Danny McBride, all of whom have their asshole afterburners firing at red-hot temps. From here it’s a battery of in-jokes, cameos, film-in-film parodies and theological hand-wringing as the crew figures out how to avoid eternal damnation. The gags that work — Franco equipping himself with the camera from 127 Hours and a prop revolver from Flyboys, a glibly scripted exorcism sequence — really work, but they’re bogged down by draggy exposition.“We’re actors! We bring joy to people’s lives!” Franco pleads as the players try to convince themselves they’re worthy of absolution. That may be true, but that doesn’t mean you’re getting into heaven. —Drew Lazor

Will Wiesenfeld introduced Baths with the beguiling glitch-hop/lap-pop of 2010’s texturally oriented Cerulean.Three years later, he’s back with Obsidian (Anticon), and the difference is appropriately stark. The new record pairs a striking lyrical focus on mortality and bodily concerns — brutishly poetic treatments of sex, suicide and the general abjection of human relationships — with a huge leap forward in inventiveness and charisma. Similarly domestically inclined tourmates Houses made a comparable shift between albums, translating their debut’s demure, atmospheric electropop into more organic, song-based slowcore/space-rock territory. The aptly named A Quiet Darkness (Downtown) has the low-key, loop-friendly earnestness of a bonsai Joshua Tree. —K. Ross Hoffman

✚ CONTINUING BEFORE MIDNIGHT | ANine years after Before Sunset, Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) are older, saggier and happier, now married with angelic twin daughters and enjoying a prolonged holiday on the Greek coast. But the opening scene, in which Jesse sees off the teenage son of his first marriage at the airport, sows the seeds of discord for a couple whose relationship has always been characterized by low-level intellectual combat. Encompassing the real time elapsed since Before Sunrise — 18 years, but who’s counting — Midnight is by definition a more mature work, and not just because Jesse’s affected facial hair has patches of ash. During a protracted Mediterranean lunch that occupies most of the film’s first act, the series at long last finds room to let others speak, a palpable relief after two-plus features’ worth of Jesse’s pseudo-intellectual blather. Eventually, Céline and Jesse find themselves alone, but the solitude is a doubleedged sword; tuning out the constant din of parenthood exposes the hum of issues normally shunted aside. At once

Offering up the spotless sheen of a much more expensive production, Brit Marling’s latest collab with longtime writing partner Zal Batmanglij is an imperfect indictment of corporate neglect, but it avoids most of the Intro to PoliSci sanctimony peddled by activists too incensed to make sense. Landing a plum assignment with a private intelligence firm run by alpha-CEO Sharon (Patricia Clarkson), the sharp Sarah (Marling) successfully infiltrates The East, a mysterious, effective cell carrying out borderline terroristic operations on companies that deserve it. Established early as a ladder-climbing boss-pleaser, Sarah starts swaying away from her top-button-buttoned life, ideals shattered and remolded by the painful personal stories of determined East operatives. Her white-knight mentality on both sides of the ball does chafe at certain points, but it’s ultimately a reminder of how ideas influence the value of money and vice versa. —Drew Lazor (Ritz Five)

NO OBLIGATIONS Sort of Asian, sort of something else, Cheu Noodle Bar’s fusion is next level. By Adam Erace CHEU NOODLE BAR | 255 S. 10th St., 267-639-4136, cheunoodlebar.com. Lunch, Wed.-Mon., noon-2 p.m; dinner, Sun.-Mon., Wed.-Thu. 5-10 p.m., Fri.-Sat. 5-11 p.m. Appetizers, $2-$9; noodles $9-$13.

est friends are good for lots of things, but going into business together isn’t usually one of them. That didn’t stop Cheltenham High pals Shawn Darragh and Ben Puchowitz from launching Cheu Noodle Bar (née Roundeye Noodle Bar), a 2012 pop-up series gone permanent, this past April Fools’ Day. More on: “We definitely don’t talk to each other some days,” laughs Darragh, a former regional manager for Qdoba and Cheu’s left-brained numbers cruncher and host with the most. “When we opened we had a piece of masking tape dividing the front and back of the house.” Whatever the duo is doing, it’s working. Housed in the shortlived Maru Global, Cheu is about as narrow as the Ninth Street Di Bruno’s, with a smattering of tables up front by the windows and the rest of the seating along an open-kitchen counter that stretches to the back of the room. The close quarters breed energy. Diners bump and jostle. Broths splash. Stools scrape against the hardwood floors. It’s loud and you yell and the music is good. And Puchowitz is right

citypaper.net

there cooking, so close you can see his new tattoo — a Chinese takeout container cradling a one-eyed noodle creature designed by Black Vulture Gallery’s Rachael Shelly — peeking from under his T-shirt. Cyclops chow mein is but one benevolent member of Cheu’s menagerie of monsters, most designed by Puchowitz’s brother, acclaimed artist Zach Puchowitz. Winged briefcases, boom-boxheaded robots and a humanoid noodle bowl wearing a Phillies cap and eating itself cavort across hand-sketched frosted-glass pendants that illuminate the counter. Normally the lights go for a grand apiece, definitely not in a first-time restaurateur’s budget. Fortunately, Puchowitz and Darragh got a 100-percent family discount, and with it, original art that injects a creative urban edge. Cheu’s vibe matches the menu, a rapidly evolving collection of sort-of-Asian, sort-of-something-else snacks flavored with Thai herbs, foie gras, tropical fruit and kimchiMORE FOOD AND fied things.

Wiry pea leaves, favas and corn have a summer-succotash feel in a canaryyellow coconut soup alight with lemongrass. This is the style originally popularized by David Chang (the Momofuku empire) and, later, Danny Bowien (Mission Chinese Food). But unlike those megawatt chefs, Puchowitz has no Asian heritage at all to draw on. “I never learned how to make ramen >>> continued on page 36

on cream-of-mushroom soup for their recipes, their stories are generally pretty canned. Childhood summers spent slurping oysters on the northern coast of Brittany. Afternoons in the kitchen with grandma (or nonna or bubbe) learning the finer points of pot pies, pastas or pierogies. Tales of young chefs dicing their way through mountains of onions while getting reamed by an alcoholic chef in a brigadestyle kitchen. But domestic violence, stints in homeless shelters and jail and drug dealers with hearts of gold? These are topics rarely seen on the memoir-cookbook scene. Ceyenne Doroshow’s Cooking in Heels (Red Umbrella Project, 2012) tells the story of a black transgender woman coming of age and coming to terms with her sexuality in the kitchen. The backdrops include the set of Julia Child’s PBS show, the comfort of her grandmother’s place, the discomfort of her family’s home, a Manhattan cabaret club with a back-room hot plate, the commissaries of shelters and even the confines of a prison cell. “I want to cook, I want to learn how to be a lady, I want to sit and have tea with my grandmother,” writes Doroshow.And while tea was a regular occurrence, the cooking that happened at home, once her mother left, was bittersweet, with her father relying on Doroshow, yet enraged that his son was assuming a role reserved for the fairer gender. Doroshow went on to cook and babysit for her dealer, then cleaned up and found work in community health centers and shelters before eventually burning out. Next came work as a private escort, a move that resulted in a month-long prison sentence. Using her kitchen know-how, Doroshow employed ingredients from the commissary to give the decidedly horrible prison food some flair. It was the time spent locked up and the encouragement of one particularly supportive inmate that inspired her to begin what would become Cooking in Heels, a collection of Southern and Caribbean recipes (think deviled eggs and Ting Ting fiery red snapper) that tells a story that’s heartfelt, intriguing and entirely outside of the realm of idyllic memoir cookbooks.

from someone who knows how to make ramen,” he says. “If I don’t know how to do something, I just look it up online, find the ingredients and cook it the way I know how to cook.” Among chefs of Puchowitz’s caliber, that kind of honesty is about as common as an open seat at Cheu’s counter on a Saturday night at 9:30, and as refreshing as the blackboard’s list of daily juices (mango nectar steeped with locally grown cardamom leaf) and iced teas. The approach yields fresh, creative ideas unencumbered by self-consciousness, hubris or an obligation to authenticity. Like chilled buckwheat noodles beaded with glistening smoked-trout roe, a nod to blinis and caviar accessorized with sweet cherry tomatoes, crunchy shaved green papaya and Sicilian bottarga to reinforce the roe’s marine flavor. Or the block of five-spice-scented scrapple piled with salt-fermented pickles, pork terrine and cornichons seen through the lens of Asia seen through the lens of Philly. Every dish is built upon another. Buns (more mini English muffin than bao) cradling cheddar-veiled baby cheeseburgers were a staff-meal experiment that picked up gochujang paste, sweet-and-sour pickles and cilantro on the way. Unctuous straps of lamb neck with sticky dates echo a favorite pasta from Matyson, only at Cheu they nestle among hand-torn noodles and juicy, fat-cutting pickled mustard greens instead of cavatelli. The chicken wings are cooked via buttermilk braise Puchowitz “heard about somewhere” and practiced until it was perfect, and damn are they. Flash-fried after the low-’n’-slow milk bath, the wings get a black-garlic glaze like liquid umami, a jet of fresh lime, cilantro and blistered shishito peppers. The experiments don’t always work. Cheu’s super-low price point means items that mention foie gras (peanutand-duck dan dan noodles, meatball lettuce cups) don’t include enough of the luxe liver to warrant mention. A bun lathered with basil aioli and tempura-fried pig ear was a mouthful of fat the weak papaya kimchi couldn’t cut. Puchowitz’s brain must have its own Dewey Decimal System to catalog all these dishes and their various remixes. No wonder dude was able to turn out a different tasting menu every week at Matyson, which, in case you were wondering, is under the leadership of Puchowitz’s sous chef, Adam Willner. “As soon as everything is settled at Cheu, I’ll go back [to Matyson] and do both.” I’d imagine leaving Cheu would be like leaving an awesome party early. Not to take away from Matyson, a respected elder statesman of the BYOB community, but compared to this young, vivacious, industry-friendly Cheu, it must feel like a garden-club bicentennial. The Rittenhouse restaurant has kept Puchowitz flush with loyal diners, but not with the recognition he deserves. Cheu is his ticket to the next level as a Philadelphia chef. Plus, at Cheu, Puchowitz gets to work with his best friend. That masking tape? Says Darragh: “Since been mopped away.” (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

When we had sex I thought I was addicted to your body and your mind at the same time! Does that make sense to you or not? Cause it definitely makes sense to me, I am here and I am waiting for you! I have been waiting for you for a long time! I think that you know that you and I would be a good couple together but you are just scared which is understandable but haven’t I showed you the goodness and kindness that any person could want and need. Is she doing anything for you at all? You and I both know that she isn’t so why are you wasting your time. That is your problem. I am just about done now!

You don’t do shit. You just sit there like a missionary and take it up the ass from all of us. You think we love you? Think again. I swear someone’s making me say this shit, but while you’re at it take your repressed dumb ass to the kitchen and eat a box of Thin Mints. Might give you some flava!

MOVE ON ALREADY! What am I supposed to think that you aren’t around, what am I supposed to do crawl in a hole and not show my face to anyone? You need to face the real and know that when you come out, know

time. Disappointment. Betrayal. Worthlessness. You wish the other person so many bad things you wonder if you’ve lost sight of who you really are. In the long run that’s not what you want. You want that person to not just fall in line with your desired outcome, but to just listen and care. That’s all people really want out of life right? Someone to listen. Someone to care. How much money has been spent in a psychiatrist office trying to attain that very thing. It’s not always in the cards for you. Sometimes you have to cheat. When you cheat though, you lose a little bit more of yourself every time. Before you know it you’re not looking at yourself at all anymore. You’re just

CONCENTRATE You know who you are I really don’t have to mention your name because I know that you read this section of the paper! Your an asshole because you are making your life harder and harder, if I showed you something and you do another with something that you think that i don’t know about then your a damn fool! I am going to play fool with your ass cause I think that it is funny and it is going to be for my benefit not yours! Don’t think that I don’ t know about your personal log on me! Cause I do!

FAT BITCH I can’t believe your fat ass tried to pull a stunt and do what you did! I really want to fucking punch you in the damn face! What is your problem? I really hate you and what you were trying to do to my relationship. Why are you doing this... I wish I knew exactly where you live so I could punch you in the face! Why would you do this shit to a good man? What is wrong with some of the women in the city...If someone doesn’t want your stupid fat ass move the fuck on and how about dieting?

So, when was your lame Sorry Sanitation of Street Department going to inform tax payers that you’re not picking up brown lawn bags? My bag was labeled TRASH, neatly packed, and less than 30 pounds. Your workers had numerous Shitty excuses on why bag was left: 1. We had a meeting and was told not to pick up bags, 2. Bag is damp at bottom and might burst, 3. Bag is tied and we don’t know what’s it (I tied it to keep people from placing their trash in bag). So, you’re telling me that you open every green plastic trash bag during pick ups, and examine contents. Do you leave green plastic bags wih holes left by stray cats and dogs, because you fear they might burst? Your reasonings for not picking up bags wouldn’t hold in court, because during summer months you clean lots overloading brown bags with feces, glass, leaves, garbage, tree limbs etc. WHAT, YOU HIRE A LEPRECHAUN TO SEPARATE LEAVES FROM TRASH? I don’t think so. So one minute you want me to save the earth, another minute you want me to use plastic and ruin it. The following day on the 500 block of North 15th Street I spotted three brown Lowe bags left homeowners, but not picked up sanitation workers. Bags were neither wet nor tied shut, however one bag was overloaded by citizen that decided to unload trash from car, and then make a quick get away. Next time Meeting of the MIndless make a decision please post in newspaper, on radio, and on news. Inform us like you do when you want us to vote for your sorry asses during election time.

SO FUNNY! that you and I aren’t going to be together. I have had enough and I think that you know it, move on! Why? I think that you know that it is over, but for some reason you want to stick around, stop fucking stalking me and calling asking me dumb ass questions. I hate you sometimes and I think you know that..there is never going to be you and I again, NEVER! the sooner you realize that the better.

Maybe not everyone who leaves dog poop on the sidewalk does it because they are careless, maybe their dog just dropped an extra deuce and the owner isn’t prepared and is frantically searching the immediate area for any piece of littler that will hold a pile of shit. And FYI, I did go home, grab a bag and

When we first met everything was coo, but when you got your new phone and I called you, you acted as if you can’t talk anymore. So you know what I am not going to call you anymore! I am getting tired of wasting my time on your weak ass, you dumb ass bitches! So stay in D.C. and while your in D.C. you can suck a fat dick and choke on the shit cause I am done!

Oh my goodness, you sat in my living room for like forever playing a fucking playstation 3. Why can’t you go the fuck home like normal people. My boyfriend is not too pushy like I am so he act like he didn’t want to say anything. Please if you have a girlfriend or someone else contact them and go over their house and par-lay cause you aren’t going to do that shit at my house. Boyfriend...I am not trying to put you on blast that is why I am not going to mention your name....grow some fucking more balls and tell your company to go the fuck home already..

I love you and you know that...I am not understanding what is taking you so long to make up your mind about the apartment! Are you going to move in with me or not? You need to do something because I am tired of you asking me about how and when I am going to pay my bills! Don’t worry about my situation cause my situation is not your situation! I am not going to come over your house again until you clean up the kitty-litter bin because I am definitely tired of smelling it! How are you smelling that shit while you are cooking dinner! I think that shit is fucking gross! PS: If you don’t wash your hands this time around I am not going to let you in! I hate your nastiness but I love, love your oral pleasures!

How do you stay with one person for so long? I mean your whole life? Don’t you get bored with them? Don’t you meet somebody new and they’re cute and exciting and seemingly unattainable and make you nervous? She said if you love a person, then you don’t just leave them. I guess she’s right. Maybe she’s just not impulsive. My grandma forgets that my grandpa is dead. She always calls my dad and asks where her husband is. She blocked out his death. I don’t want that to happen to me.

PLAIN MINDLESS

PLEASE GO HOME

HEAD LOVE!

I ASKED MY MOM

come back and if I could have remembered which stoop was yours, you can be sure that would have left a nice little memento to remember this occasion which you so obviously enjoyed. Yo dude, shit happens.
