With recent temperatures hovering somewhere between those of the planet Hoth and the scene in Rocky IV where he’s training in Siberia, every trek outside has become a battle with the elements with the potential for casualties. The other night I rode my bike (terrible decision) home from the library, and thanks to my stupid fingerless gloves not having a thumb covering option, I nearly lost the most crucial digit on my right hand to frostbite. Obviously, I’m exaggerating here, but the point is it’s cold, and that makes things pretty difficult. Given that it’s finals week for University students, this weather couldn’t be coming at a less opportune time. The last thing I need when I’m trying to motivate myself to go to the library is ol’ Jack Frost threatening to tear my face off. I’m sure there are probably studies out there to prove me wrong, but I’ve always thought that finals were an insufficient way to accurately measure what somebody has learned over the course of a semester. It kinda seems like packing the entire span of a curriculum into a threehour-long, pressure-filled window, crammed in the middle of a week in which students may have as many as four other examinations, may not yield great results. When you consider that many classes have major assignments and tests all the way up until a day or two before the final exam, it seems slightly unfair, if not cruel. Add temperatures in the negatives on top of that, and it’s clear that God is one cold-blooded dude. But don’t worry! I got this! I’m not gonna let finals get me down, and if you’re a fellow student, neither should you! Grab your favorite pump-up music, a coffee, maybe a ski mask and get to work. As you can tell from this week’s buzz, the holidays are just around the corner, and there are plenty of events around town to remind you of what’s good in the world. Also, I want to mention that last week’s buzz mistakenly excluded our music section, which featured a great story on the opening of Dumb Records in Springfield due to a transmission error. The community section ended up on both pages five and seven. I want to apologize to the owners and operators of Dumb Records: Kevin Bradford, Cory VanMeter, Brian Galecki and Nathan Landolt, as well as Sean Neumann, who wrote the story. Check it out at readbuzz.com when you get the chance. Another heads up: next week’s buzz will be our last buzz for a short while. After our issue comes out on December 20, we will not be printing another issue until January 17.

I put on for my city.

CANDYCANE HUNT BY EMILY DEJKA The holidays are fast approaching, which means hot chocolate and candy canes are a must. On Saturday, December 14, Prairie Farm will combine these two holiday favorites with their Merry & Bright Candy Cane Hunt. Starting at 1:30 p.m., the farm will hold candy cane hunts that will happen in waves. The winners will receive special prizes and even get the chance to meet Santa!

guese professor: She cares about her students. She’s fashionable and funny. She actually cares about what she’s teaching. The list of virtues that enshroud my Portuguese professor could go on and on, and right now I’m going to let it roll. Not only does this woman drive approximately two hours to reach campus every other day, but she brings food to our classes. Let me elaborate: home-cooked baked goods. And no, I ain’t EVEN playin’. Today, while dreading my impending meat shop of a mouth about to butcher muitas palavras em portugues, I was so distracted when I walked in, I didn’t notice the feast my professor had brought. Not only had she baked rich brownie muffins (with pie crust at the bottom) and homemade caramel and chocolate on top, she brought veggie trays, chips, cheese and get this — more chocolate. And then, after our presentations, she fed us all of it. However, leaving the Foreign Languages Building, I learned something new about her today. “Didn’t you know she’s just a visiting professor? She does this essentially for free,” said one of my classmates while we walked outside. It was then reiterated that she drives roughly two hours to come teach our goofy asses. Comprehend all of that information: my beautiful professor who, out of the kindness of her heart, feeds us, teaches us and drives a goddamn roadtrip for us every other day, does it not for the money, but the pleasure of educating us. (And not even just all of this — she stays after to help me with the material if I’m struggling. Bless this woman.) As Kurt Vonnegut once said, “If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.” Her kindnesses are as simple and sweet as that.

» Cold weather: I have a bone to pick with you, Old Man Winter. You turn my face red and kill my desire to do anything at all. You make me have asthma fits. You make me put lotion on my hands every 30 minutes or else suffer the consequences of bloody knuckles. There is nothing good about the cold. Sorry, snow lovers, snow ain’t that cool. Snow leaves ice, and every winter I slip on the ice more frequently than the last. Old Man Winter has me beat. And though I love the holidays, I really wish they weren’t around this time of year. It really is a shame. I motion to move the holidays to June, when it is warm and I am capable of spreading joy to everyone around me, because you can’t spread joy when the sun sets at 5 p.m. Bah humbug.

It

is 1:45 p.m. CST on Saturday, November 23, and in just five short minutes, the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special, “The Day of the Doctor,� will be simulcast in over 90 countries. My whole family and I have gathered around the television, eager with anticipation. I smile, knowing that across the globe, millions of people are sitting around their TVs, experiencing the same feelings that I am and hoping that the special is everything we wanted it to be. As the episode begins and the opening titles straight out of 1963 kick into action, we’re all whisked away on an adventure that manages masterfully to both acknowledge the past and look ahead to the next 50 years. “The Day of the Doctor� is a love letter to fans new and old, having enough to appeal to the casual fans and being an absolute treasure trove of Easter eggs and references, warranting multiple viewings for even the most seasoned Doctor Who fan to catch them all. The episode is definitely not for the uninitiated, though, and there are enough

plot points in the story that at least some background knowledge is required to really enjoy it. However, being a celebration of a 50-year-old series, it’s appropriate to focus on the pre-existing fans as a target audience. This special was written by current head writer Steven Moffat, and his script manages to tie together excellently. The banter he’s written between stars Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt provides for some really spectacular comedic moments. It’s definitely one of Moffat’s more complex stories (and that’s saying a lot), and having multiple Doctors certainly adds to that. That said, it’s not difficult to follow, and it’s fun enough that you’ll be watching with constant attention turned toward the screen. As I mentioned earlier, the interactions between the Doctors are a definite highlight, as the three actors play off each other perfectly and Moffat’s dialogue is consistently witty and crisply written. Even within the midst of multiple Doctors running

around and the high-octane story, Jenna Coleman still manages to leave a massive impression as the current companion, Clara, and it is nice to see returning faces like former companion Billie Piper. There are also a few surprise cameos that I won’t spoil here, but suffice it to say that however brief they were, they proved overwhelmingly exciting. I also had the pleasure of seeing the special in cinemas in 3-D, which was surprisingly well done. The added depth gave a whole new life to the episode, and I would love to see more episodes in 3-D in the future. Rather than doing the expected and having the episode turn out as one massive curtain call, Moffat turned out a story that manages to take a more cerebral look at what defines the character of the Doctor and presents a story that, while still incredibly fun, manages to do something more than just celebrate the series and the past 50 years. It also does its job of ensuring the next 50.

ACTING FOR ADVOCACY

Insurgent Theatre performs at Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center BY ANGELA HEADLEY

T

he best way to illustrate a point has always been visual, so why not be theatrical? That’s the goal of Insurgent Theatre, a Columbus, Ohio-based theater group that aims to combine radical politics with intense theater. Active since 2003, Insurgent will be stopping by the UrbanaChampaign Independent Media Center on December 15 for its Lucasville Tour. The group will be performing its new play, Know Your Enemy, and screening The Great Incarcerator, Part 2: The Shadow of Lucasville. Writer and performer of Know Your Enemy Ben Turk said that Insurgent is all about facing those difficult issues. “We try to make theater that confronts the basic assumptions that ... maintain our vastly unequal and increasingly authoritarian and racist society,” Turk said. “So we try to confront and really get people to examine those underlying assumptions that are, often, unconscious.” Mark Enslin, a local composer, actor and teacher, met the group close to four years ago during one of its previous shows, Paint the Town. Sharing an interest with combining theater and politics, he has invited the group back to Urbana three times prior to this tour. Enslin said Insurgent wants not only to make people confront the harsh issues that

maintain society, but to converse about them. “Since their goal is more to grapple with issues and with people’s thoughts and feelings and actions, they really take discussion seriously afterward, even if you don’t like what they do or have disagreements with them,” Enslin said. The issue at the heart of the group's new tour is the U.S. prison system and its intersection with human rights. According to the group's website, “Know Your Enemy examines the role of police using stripped-down interactive theatre, critical understanding of history and the power of silent refusal,” while “The Shadow of Lucasville will be exploring the fight for human rights and media exposure through inmate uprisings in response to mass incarceration and dehumanization supported by the prison industrial complex.” Turk said Know Your Enemy is there to see the whole picture when it comes to the police. “It’s about police, and the role the police have in our society,” he said. “And the way that that has historically come about and the ways that it’s changing right now.” Know Your Enemy stars Turk as a police officer and neighborhood liaison who believes himself to be a good cop and acknowledges the existence of

bad cops in the system. Each show, a volunteer is selected from the audience to participate in a mock police interrogation. From there, Turk’s character goes through some self-reflection. “He starts to think more systemically about the role of police and his role within that,” Turk said. “A lot of contradictions come about, and then they get examined with the audience involved.” Turk will also be screening The Great Incarcerator, Part 2: The Shadow of Lucasville. The documentary, by D. Jones, is a sequel to The Great Incarcerator, Part 1: Dark Little Secret, an independent film documentary that examined the conditions and rights of prisoners in the U.S. prison system. The Shadow of Lucasville covers the 1993 prison uprising at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, located in Lucasville, Ohio. After the screening of the film, there will be time for questions and answers with two death-sentenced survivors of the uprising who will be calling in from Ohio State Penitentiary, Ohio’s supermax prison. Enslin said that touring with the film is part of Insurgent’s work with activist groups that focus on prison issues. “They see that as part of their tour,” Enslin said. “And I think they would hope that people would both see the play and the film.”

Insurgent Theatre will present its performances on December 14 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and on December 15 from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center in downtown Urbana.

HARK THE HERALD CAROLERS SING

Get in the spirit with the Champaign-Urbana Theatre Company's Dickensian Carolers BY AALIYAH GIBSON

N

ow that Christmas is right around the corner, even the Grinch himself can be spotted looking for the first snowfall. Bright, twinkling lights have been wrapped around poles and placed in windows, and Christmas trees are standing tall with colorful globes on each fern. Christmas is the time for giving, making it the time everyone is at their nicest. Minus the gifts, bright lights and trees, however, Christmas wouldn’t be the same without

one thing: the music. “Silent Night” and “Jingle Bells” make walking in 20-degree weather feel right somehow. Even the Justin Bieber Christmas album that is hidden under stacks of papers from all onlookers becomes a hidden obsession when this specific holiday rolls around. But this Christmas, it might be time for a change. Instead of having Michael Buble’s album blasting through stereo speakers that seriously

need to be replaced, the time to be joyful just got even better, all thanks to the Dickensian Carolers, a group of carolers willing to bring the party to you. Beginning in 1996, the Champaign-Urbana Theatre Company (CUTC) first began traveling and singing to guests in the "Singing Valentines" program. With a selection of songs, the perfect gift to a loved one could be delivered via vocal performance. Ray Essick, the Dickensian Carols coordinator, had his start in the Singing Valentines group. “I have been a member of CUTC since the spring of 2011,” Essick said. “I joined the Singing Valentines so I could get more practice singing and so I could meet new people within the company.” After searching for a new program to help expand the CUTC, the program manager decided that singing Christmas carols in the middle of December was the way to go. This is the first year that the group is throwing Christmas songs into the mix, but it surely won’t be the last. Calling themselves the Wandering Minstrels, the Dickensian Carolers all adorn themselves in the garb seen in the classic movie based upon Charles Dickens’s novella “A Christmas Carol” and sing the traditional songs that bring out a mug of eggnog or two. With songs like the “Boar’s Head Carol” and “Gloucestershire Wassail,” this group of carolers stay true to their 19th century English theme and keep it traditional. The reaction to the Wandering

Minstrel’s presence is what makes the experience enjoyable. “The reactions and responses we get to our singing are always fun, especially to Singing Valentines deliveries," Essick said. "We’ve had recipients who laugh, cry and sing along with us. We’ve even delivered valentines as part of marriage proposals. All said ‘yes!’” Traveling out into the community gives the Wandering Minstrels a chance to appease to all types of audiences and bring the entertainment to you. “By going out into the community, we get a chance to perform for people who might not otherwise know about the company or come to see a CUTC show,” Essick said. “It’s also fun to see friends or family.” With the Christmas holiday in full swing, be sure to check out the Dickensian Carolers and all the songs they have to offer. “Hopefully our viewers will enjoy our performance," Essick said. "We also hope to introduce CUTC to new people in the community, and maybe get them interested in seeing or auditioning for a CUTC show." Performances start at $50 for a 15-minute performance, or $80 for a 30-minute performance. For more information on how to bring carolers to your holiday party, the Dickensian Carolers can be contacted at carolers@cutc.org. December 13 - 19, 2013 buzz 5

(NOT) TRADING TRADITIONS

Champaign-Urbana stays true to its holiday traditions

ith the holiday spirit filling the chilly air comes the need to get prepared for the holidays. Plans are to be made, presents are to be purchased and wrapped, and food is to be prepared. With all the stress coming from the holidays, it is important to take a break and just relax, soaking in the true meaning of the holidays. A good way to accomplish this is to take part in the festivities that have been traditions in the area for years. One tradition that is sure to brighten the days leading up to the holidays, the ones that are often dominated by last-minute preparations and gift shopping, is to take a drive down to Candlestick Lane. It is located in eastern Urbana between Cottage Grove and Philo Road at Grant Place and

portions of Eastern and Fairlawn drives. Every year, by mutual agreement, all the residents of Candlestick Lane decorate their houses and yards with lights. There are an estimated 50 houses that participate in this, using about 50,000 lights every year to light up the holiday season. This is a tradition that has been going on since the early 1960s, when residents of the street decorated their houses for a house-decorating contest sponsored by the Illinois Power Company, and they have been decorating ever since. Cars are requested to have their headlights turned off in order to maximize the experience of the light viewing. Peace could truly be found for people trying to get into the holiday spirit as they cruise slowly

down the street in silence, observing the bright and colorful lights illuminating every house and lawn. Candlestick Lane is lit and open for viewing from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. every day until Christmas. Another activity that is a tradition for many people in the area is the Champaign-Urbana Ballet performance of The Nutcracker. This is a ballet that is known as a holiday classic and is therefore the perfect excuse to kick back and relax as dancers from the Champaign-Urbana Ballet and children from the community magnificently recreate a story told during the holidays for generations. Although the last performance of the year was on December 8, this tradition is a great thing to remember for next year’s holiday preparations. Despite the fact that holiday shopping is often

associated with hectic days, it does not always have to be stressful. The Holiday Market in Lincoln Square is a great place to get into that holiday cheer while finding the perfect gifts for the family and friends. In addition to that, holiday shoppers will be supporting local businesses, as the market’s vendors are local and from small businesses in the area. Gift-wrapping services are provided, which greatly helps those who always seem to be lacking time during the holiday season, and holiday music will be played, creating the perfect holiday atmosphere. The Holiday Market will be held on December 15 and December 21 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., so hurry over to take the opportunity to get unique gifts for anyone you forgot on your “nice list.”

SANTA’S REAL SECRET

How to enjoy the holiday season altruistically BY KATRINA HALFAKER

W

inter holidays are approaching. Soon, stores will have their capitalist propaganda out on full blast, advertising candy goods and a variety of cultural greeting cards, along with Santa Claus-themed products and tinsel and the dominant, not-so-subliminal, angstmaking phrase: “Christmas is coming!” For those who don’t celebrate Christmas or any holiday during this time, all of the fervor about the holidays can make one feel ostracized, and the wet and chilly months begin to feel like a trudge up until New Year’s Eve. But how can people who want to experience some kind of celebration without any Christmas connotations do so? What traditions remain unsullied by the fetishization and commodification of the season? Outdoorsy people looking for a thrill may want to take part in festivities that are weather based. Take, for example, sledding. Though

paintings of the activity are featured in many a caroling book with children as the primary participants, sledding is age inclusive and has more to do with exercise and being among friends than anything else. It’s simply a matter of finding a good hill. In Urbana, Orchard Downs has often been a place where students go to frolic in the snow, as well as dabble in other sporty activities. Crystal Lake Park, located at Park Street and Broadway Avenue (just north of University Avenue), however, has been hailed as one of the best in the area. But, being that it gets rather cold here in Illinois, some people may prefer to stay inside. Fireplace lovers and introverts, gather up your books, your knitting needles and those lap-pets: you all may prefer to indulge with a hot cup of cocoa topped off with giant marshmallow puffs or even fall’s leftover apple cider. In terms of the community, one can also give

back or show gratitude in a variety of ways. As cliche as it may seem, leaving thank-you notes for people who provide invaluable services, such as police officers, firefighters, post workers, bus drivers and others is a good start. Participating in clothing and food drives also benefits the community, but doesn’t require any sort of holiday expressionism. Some of the University’s registered student organizations, such as the Pink Illini and the Illini Secular Student Alliance, have already begun collecting donations. Additionally, the Illini Union will be organizing a “Holiday Gift Drive” for lessprivileged children up until December 18. For more information, visit http://union.illinois. edu/ovp/. Note: It isn’t necessary to do any of this publicly. Clothes and donation items can be dropped off at certain locations, depending on the organization, and providing food for others

isn’t limited to anything specific. If desired, one may pay it forward. A practice which has become fairly popular in Europe, “caffe sospeso,” or “suspended coffee,” refers to a tradition that began roughly a century ago in Naples, Italy, wherein a person would purchase two cups of coffee and be served one, leaving the other to be claimed by someone less fortunate. Aside from the coffee, people can pay for suspended sandwiches and meals, however many they so choose, which enables those who may be homeless or simply less fortunate to continue surviving while keeping everything anonymous. The website http://www.coffeesharing.com/ provides more information about the tradition and how businesses can register online to further the custom. No matter how the season is celebrated, it’s a good time to get involved with the community, to bond with loved ones and strangers and to express appreciation. December 13 - 19, 2013 buzz 7

If you had the misfortune of missing these guys playing back in September, this show should make you feel like a child walking into your family room on Christmas Eve to find Santa stacking presents to the limit around your tree, except Santa will be shredding through holiday hits and cuts from Pinched., and your family room will be the intimate show space at Mike ‘N' Molly’s. “This show is going to be insane and probably the best show I will have ever been a part of so far in my life,” said bassist and vocalist Darwin Keup. “It’s a Christmas extravaganza with holiday songs, giveaways, presents, entrance music and sing-alongs. We are even doing some Bob Hope-type stuff.” While this type of event clearly benefits the reputation of the music scene in Champaign, the important part is that the event is focused on supporting children in the immediate community and throughout the county. Champaign Toys for Tots accepts new and unwrapped toys as well as monetary donations to be spent by the organization at local businesses to purchase gifts. All

8 buzz December 13 - 19, 2013

donations and purchases are distributed to local underprivileged children throughout the holiday season, which is a mission close to Keup’s heart. “It’s a charity I’ve felt strongly about since I was a child," Keup said. "My folks used to have a motorcycle shop back in the day, and around this time of year they would help raise toys for charity. Hell, when I was a little hell-raiser myself, I got a couple toys from them.” In case you needed some sort of monetary incentive to be a kind and giving person, attendees who drop a toy off at the donation station before the show will save $2 off the $7 cost of admission. Your gift can be as simple as a teddy bear, or it can have a higher purpose. “Instruments make great donations," Keup said. "If some little kid got a guitar, maybe 15 years later he could do the same thing that we are trying to pull off." Once the new year rolls around, the Hank. hunks will be pressing on with three tours for the remainder of the winter and spring, with another extended tour spanning July and August, which will likely bookend the recording of a new EP in June. For a busy band with a bright future, this should be an eggnog-fueled celebration of the band’s recent successes and a chance to show support for the hard work they will be putting in once the yule log burns out. Don’t be a Grinch — come on out to Mike ‘N’ Molly’s for Hank.smas, Friday at 8 p.m.

ONE ONE ON

CHEF JESSICA GORIN OF BIG GROVE TAVERN

BY AUFFY BIRJANDI

As

the executive chef of Big Grove Tavern in downtown Champaign, Jessica Gorin manages a team of more than 20 people and creates unique menu items which are composed of locally sourced ingredients. She gave buzz a behind-the-scenes peek at the professional restaurant industry and her role within it. »buzz: What did you do before being a chef? »Jessica Gorin: I was actually in graduate school, working on a Ph.D. for population biology. »buzz: What led you into the culinary arts? »JG: When I was in graduate school, I was working on a project that would have had me leave the country and basically live in the tropics for about six months out of the year. I realized what doing conservation biology for a living was going to mean and that it meant I was going to have to move all the time. I wasn’t going to be able to have a dog, be able to have a boyfriend. I was just going to be back and forth and really nomadic, and so I decided I wasn’t sure I wanted to commit to doing that. I wanted to think about what I actually enjoyed doing. I really liked teaching and I really liked cooking, so I took a quarter off from school. During the day I helped out with high school science classes, and at night I worked at a restaurant. After doing that for a couple of months, it became pretty clear to me that what I really enjoyed doing was cooking in a professional restaurant. So, I just continued to do that and I left school. »buzz: What’s your culinary background? »JG: When I started cooking, I was in northern California. The areas around there that were really good restaurant areas were the Napa Valley and San Francisco. Basically, when I first started cooking, on my days off I’d call restaurants in San Francisco and volunteer to come in for the day and work for free just so I could learn something and see how they did things. I wasn’t self-taught because it’s not like I sat down with a book and taught myself how to cook, but I went out of my way to use my free time to learn more from people who really knew what they were doing. After a while, I ended up moving to the Napa Valley, and I worked at Auberge du Soleil and Domaine Chandon, which were two very nice French restaurants in the area. I would say most of my culinary education came from working at Domaine Chandon because everything was made from scratch. We did all our own butchery, so basically if there was a dish I was making, I was making the sauce for it, I was cutting the vegetables for it or I was butchering the animals for it. It was a very immersive experience. »buzz: What brought you from California to Illinois? »JG: When I was in graduate school, I met the guy who ended up being my husband. He continued in academics and is now a professor at the University of Illinois. »buzz: In your own words, what do you do here? What’s your cooking style? »JG: Big Grove Tavern is sort of seasonal com-

fort food. Our primary goal is to use a lot of local products, whether those are locally raised meats, locally made cheeses or local produce. Basically, I want to use the ingredients in a way where the ingredients are the star of the plate. I’m not trying to do crazy things that are going to hide what something is. I really want you to know what the product is that you are eating but present it in a way where the parts work together to make something more than they would be on their own. The style of what we do here is a little bit rustic, but at the same time, it manages to be kind of upscale. It’s nicer than what you would prepare for yourself at home, and hopefully everything is well balanced and tastes really good. I manage the whole kitchen, so that involves training people and making sure that day to day the quality of what we’re putting out is the same. I think one of the reasons that people like chain restaurants is because they know that whenever they go there, they’re going to get the same thing. And one of the things that independent restaurants really struggle with is maintaining consistency. If you’re not using pre-made food, it’s hard to guarantee that it’s going to be the same every single time. So, since we do everything from scratch here, we want it to be really consistent in addition to being fresh. So, just every day going through and tasting everything, checking everything, and making sure that it is up to the standards that it’s supposed to be up to. I come up with all the menus. We change the menus seasonally so that we’re utilizing the stuff that is local. So during the summer we had a lot of stuff that involved tomatoes, but now when you look at our menu, they’re pretty much absent. It’s just that you can’t get a local tomato right now. »buzz: How many people do you manage? »JG: My back-of-house staff is around 20 people. I also work with the front-of-house staff to make sure our servers are well educated about the food that they’re serving, know where things come from and know why we’re putting certain things on a plate together. So there’s a lot of front-ofhouse interaction as well. »buzz: What’s it like working with your staff? »JG: We actually have a really great team. A lot of the guys who are here have been here since we opened, so we’ve been working together not quite two years now. It’s really nice to see them all grow and develop as cooks and as managers. I think people don’t realize how much time is spent working in the professional restaurant industry. You really do see the people you work with much more than the people outside of work. I don’t see my friends very much. I don’t even see my husband as much as I see some of the people I work with, so it’s really important when you work together that many hours that everyone gets along. »buzz: Do you come up with all of the dishes? »JG: Usually I might have an idea about certain ingredients I want to put on a plate, either because it’s sort of a classic pairing of flavors or because

maybe it’s a cool ingredient that I want to work with, and I’m trying to think of other flavors that work well with it. Usually it has a starting point, and then I’ll kind of think about it for a couple of days and try out some different arrangements with it. Sometimes we’ll run a special of an idea that we’re thinking about putting on the menu. If it works and we can reproduce it consistently, then we go ahead and put it on the menu. »buzz: What’s your favorite thing about cooking for other people? »JG: I like cooking for other people because it does sort of have an instant gratification. I think it kind of overlaps with where I came out of in science, where I like to experiment. I like to try new things. But in science, sometimes you have to wait months or years to get your results, and in cooking, pretty quickly you know whether or not something worked and whether or not people like it. I also like being able to affect people’s tastes and change their ideas about what they thought they liked and didn’t like. One of the most frequent comments that I get from people is: “I really hate ‘fill in the blank with some ingredient,’ but you made me like it.” So people tell me they hate brussels sprouts, and we have these fried brussels sprouts on the menu right now that people go

nuts for. So it’s sort of one of these vegetables that gets a bad rap and people think they hate it, but maybe they just haven’t had it prepared in a way that works for them. »buzz: Is there anything else you would like to share that we haven’t covered? »JG: I think we aren’t that similar to any other restaurant in town because we do so much of our stuff in house from scratch and because we do really commit to using local items so much. It’s pretty trendy for people to say, like, “Oh, we use local ingredients,” or “Oh, we’re farm to table.” But unless you’re truly following through on that and sort of putting your money where your mouth is in terms of investing in local businesses, then it’s sort of not fair for the businesses that are truly supporting that mission. There are some added costs to buying local, but it’s worth it in the end for the effect it has on the community and for the product that you then get to put on your plate.
