The duo plays more than 100 shows per year, some of which become marathon concerts that can last up to five hours. S ​ teve has built his own custom baritone and resonator guitars that “go

“The Lyin’ Kings” draws its humor from current headlines and Twitter feeds.

“We are equal-opportunity offenders,” Thornton said during a call from his home in Washington, D.C., where much of the news is made that becomes part of the ever-changing show. “We try to go after everybody” regardless of political affiliation.

“Whoever is in power is who we hit.”

The show includes the latest songs about the Democratic primary candidates (“76 Unknowns”) and the newest latenight thoughts from President Donald Trump (“Tweet It”).

“Our job is to present material that is relevant, therapeutic and funny,” Thornton said.

The recent events surrounding Trump’s call to the president of Ukraine has become one of the newest sketches in the show with the song “There is Nothin’ like a Dame” by Richard Rodgers becoming the show’s

“Nothing in Ukraine.” The trade war with China inspired “American Pie” by singer and songwriter Don McLean to become the show’s “Buy Buy American Pie.” Thornton has portrayed all United States presidents since Ronald Reagan, and his favorite to portray is Bill Clinton.

“He’s so darn funny to imitate,” he laughed. “He comes out and says, ‘Hey there,’ and winks at a woman in the front row.”

And even though there are many Trump imitators, Thornton said the current president is more difficult to portray. “There’s a lot of specific feeling about this guy.

Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary Talbot, Robert James-Collier as Thomas Barrow, Hugh Bonneville as Lord Grantham and Allen Leech as Tom Branson in “Downton Abbey.” (FOCUS FEATURES) (120 min.)

SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK rrts (PG-13) A Frankenstein of a movie that stitches togeth-

er tales from the beloved 1980s book series by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Stephen Gammell. Rated PG-13, the movie falls somewhere in between Amblin and Blumhouse.

… There’s not a lot of humor in what’s happening with him, but we can make it funny and make people laugh regardless of what side of the aisle they are on.”

A professional actor, singer and director since 1979, Thornton joined the Capitol Steps in 1998 and has done jazz singing, directing and producing. He has also been the artistic director for three professional theaters including The Mohawk Theater in North Adams.

He grew up in Windsor, Connecticut, and graduated from The Hartt School in West Hartford with a bachelor’s degree in music with a vocal and education emphasis.

His jazz CD, “Homeward,” is a collaboration with “great” Washington, D.C., musicians, he said, and includes many standards.

When Thornton performs with The Capitol Steps at Cranwell in Lenox during the summer, he often sings with local musicians after performances.

And since the Capitol Steps develop their laughs from

current events, audiences never know whether Nancy Pelosi, William Barr or Kim Jong-un might appear on stage together in a song.

The Capitol Steps’ upcoming performance of mostly new material and some old favorites “is cheaper than therapy,” said Capitol Step co-founder Elaina Newport.

“No matter who is making the news, we all need a laugh.

And as fast as a politician can send a tweet, our writers text a new song or joke. The material comes from both sides of the aisle.”

Some of the group’s songs are about Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles (“The Merry Woes of Brexit”) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (“Hello Mueller”).

The Capitol Steps doesn’t make fun of tragedy, Thornton emphasized, but takes what is news, “outrageous” or a scandal and makes it funny.

“Political song parody, that’s our niche, and we’re good at it.”

The unexpected, the inevitable and the clever contribute

to the success of the show.

“There are so many jokes, so many songs. It’s a lot. It’s a real inundation of funny,” he said, adding that many people have told him they leave the show with their cheeks hurting from “grinning so much.” Others have told him, “My gosh, I really needed that” laughter.

The Capitol Steps began in 1981 when a group of congressional staffers got together to provide entertainment for a holiday office party on Capitol Hill. Since then, the company of professional actors and singers has provided their unique mix of musical and political comedy and satire to audiences throughout the United States.

Each show consists of about 30 songs and skits.

The Capitol Steps perform in Washington, D.C., every weekend, tour nationally throughout the year and have appeared on “The Today Show,” “ABC News Nightline,” “CBS Evening News” and on specials for NPR. To preview some of the Capitol Steps’ materials, visit capsteps.com.

Raising capital a daunting task for restaurateurs

U

NLESS A WANNAbee restaurant owner has substantial money in the bank or wealthy relatives he or she can turn to, raising the capital needed to open a dining establishment can be a daunting obstacle.

Successful restaurateurs with assets and a track record can usually turn to banks and other lending institutions, but restaurant business first-timers usually find those sources aren’t open to them.

A few decades ago it might have been possible to rely on family, credit card cash advances, and trade credit from suppliers to fund a startup, but today such sources are far from adequate when the cost of putting together even a fairly modest operation can take the better part of a million dollars.

A recent story in Restaurant Hospitality magazine described the innovative strategy one chef used to fund his “dream” restaurant.

Kevin Tien, a Washington, D.C.-based culinarian who has garnered national recognition in the James Beard Rising Star Chef competition, in part financed his restaurant venture “Emilie’s” by selling “house accounts” with the

Hugh Robert Off The Menu

In the case of Tien’s restaurant, he raised more than $500,000 through inKind to fund his startup costs in a notoriously expensive city.

Those purchasing “house accounts” at Emilie’s got additional credit as an incentive to buy. A pre-paid account that cost $1,000, for instance, is redeemable for $1,200 in dining experiences.

A

STORYLINE OF contemporary food service entrepreneurship — successful food truck puts down roots and becomes a restaurant — describes how Sun Kim Bop Korean came to be.

Specializing in what it labels as “Seoul Street Food,” Sun Kim Bop is located across from the MassMutual Center in downtown Springfield. The restaurant operates out of a made-over Main Street storefront and has a small dining area fitted with a hodgepodge of pub-height seating. Service is counter style, with disposables the primary vehicle for food presentation.

A chalkboard menu lists possible elements of a Sun Kim Bop experience.

One menu option, the Bim Bop Burger ($7) is assembled on a seasoned rice bun and features a choice of protein (pork, chicken, tofu or beef) along with sautéed veggies.

A multi-cultural creation, the Kimchi-a-rito ($8) is a burrito-inspired bundling of rice, protein choice, salad greens, and kimchi. Similarly inven-

The Bibim Bop Bowl ($10) brings together kimchi, rice, seasonal veggies and an egg; Dup Bop ($8) is a plate meal that includes one of the four house protein options paired with kimchi and rice.

Sun Kim Bop prepares snack-style fare such as Korean Pancakes (two for $6) made with ground mung

beans as well as Yook Soup ($10), a spicy beef broth with vegetables.

We began our meal with an order of Dumplings ($6 for four). Pierogi-shaped but thin-crusted, the deep-fried, three-bite snacks had been filled with a mild veggie mixture, the flavor of which had been judiciously enhanced with garlic and sesame oil.

Brewers help raise funds for cancer research

S

OMEONE’S HIGH school graduation shouldn’t be the last big milestone a person achieves. It should be among the first, launching the young man or woman into adulthood and a bright future.

Unfortunately, the former was the case for my wonderful great-nephew Justin, who died last July after a long, courageous fight with cancer.

He was a superb young man, beloved by just about everyone who crossed his path.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about him and his immediate family and the loss they carry.

With the number of breweries involved now over 30, one goal might be to have at least one from every state.

Other New England breweries joining the cause are Connecticut’s Stranger Tides Brewing, Rhode Island’s Grey Sail Brewing and New Hampshire’s Backyard Brewing.

Of course, I would love if a Western Massachusetts brewery could jump in to help this worthy cause. The beer makers around here have

always been excellent at donating their time and talents to good causes.

Either way, I hope plenty of breweries from anywhere get involved.

Although Justin wasn’t old enough to have a beer with me before he passed, my hope is that he is having one now. The song says that “in heaven there is no beer,” but I’m not buying that idea. I’m pretty sure Justin is up there enjoying a cold one with his grandfather and great-grandfather (my dad) right about now.

I hope someday we can all toast finding a cure.

Exploring Chambolle-Musigny, Part 2 Writer’s note: This is the second in a series of three stories about wineries visited earlier this year by the author in Chambolle-Musigny in France’s Burgundy region.

INEYARDS FILLED with grapevines stand just a few feet away from Rue Caroline Aigle, the name of a winding, narrow street in the northern part of the legendary winemaking village Chambolle-Musigny in France’s Burgundy region.

But you would never know that the fields are there most of the time walking along Rue Caroline Aigle. That’s because compact stone houses and two-story-high stone walls line most of the road named after the French Air Force’s first female fighter pilot.

It’s often only when you walk by a small, locked gate or a narrow, stone stairway on Rue Caroline Aigle that you catch a glimpse of the

grapevines neatly arranged on a gently sloping hill rising up from the town towards a small, tree-lined hill in the distance.

Like many streets in Chambolle-Musigny in January, Rue Caroline Aigle is quiet, deserted. Walking along the

street on a Thursday morning earlier this year, everything feels calm, peaceful, serene.

Time seems to stand still.

Eventually, my wife and I make our way to Domaine Hudelot Baillet, a small, charming winery on Rue Caroline Aigle that looks like

wines cost less than $100 a bottle, a bargain compared to many, top wines from Chambolle-Musigny.

Throughout the tasting, I’m constantly impressed by the quality and diversity of Domaine Hudelot Baillet’s outstanding wines, particularly the ones from the 2018 vintage, which already have Ken Ross such power and finesse even Wine Press at such a young age.

Both gochujang and Korean barbecue sauce play a major part in the handiwork of Sun Kim Bop’s kitchen.

An order of Job Chae (sweet potato noodles — $8) was topped with a pan-fried medley of zucchini, red bell pepper, onion, spinach, and

matchstick carrot strips. We’d chosen to enjoy the “savory chicken” variation, which meant a scattering of marinated, cubed chicken thigh.

The noodles themselves were interesting both for their flavor, a subtle earthy sweetness, and their textural characteristics, translucent and slightly gummy.

Thin, griddle-finished crosscuts of beef short rib had been brushed with Korean barbecue sauce, a treatment that enhanced the beef ’s flavor with suggestions of hot pepper and smoky-sweetness.

The short ribs themselves, however, were a bit too chewy. Coming from an active part of the steer, they are a cut that require long, slow cooking in order to be truly palatable.

Accompanying the ribs were white rice and a green salad combination enlivened by the restaurant’s kimchi (spicy pickled cabbage) Sun Kim Bop is licensed for the sale of beer and wine, so it carries a small selection of both as well as offering Korean sojo, a low-alcohol distilled spirit.

The restaurant also offers a culturally authentic dessert experience in the form of Mung Bean Cake ($4).

Specializing in savory street food experiences, Sun Kim Bop makes an important contribution to downtown Springfield’s increasingly diverse restaurant scene.

Highly recommend.

2018 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras Premier Cru Tasting notes – Another great Premier Cru Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, this soft, subtle, easy-drinking wine tastes great straight out of the bottle. Best of all, this wine should continue to improve and evolve for years.

A beautiful, understated wine that tastes great now and will continue to be delightful for many, many years.

2018 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes Tasting notes – An absolutely elegant, refined wine made with Pinot Noir grapes from 55-year-old vines. Flavors range from toasted almonds, marshmallows, dried raspberries and other earthy overtones. Let me add that the robust yet smooth flavors linger for at least a minute after each taste.

2017 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Cotes De Nuits Blanc Tasting notes – It’s interesting tasting the same wine as the Chardonnay reviewed above but from a different vintage. The 2017 has a cleaner, crisper more floral finish with an array of lively fruit flavors, including grapefruit and peach.

• RED WINES 2018 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Passetoutgrain Tasting notes – The only red wine reviewed this week that is not 100 percent Pinot Noir, this blend of 50 percent Pinot Noir and 50 percent Gamay has bright, vibrant fruit flavors, including fresh, ripe cherries. Austere and yet light and bright at the same time.

2018 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Bourgogne Rouge Tasting notes – Intense, robust fruit flavors abound in this magnificent Pinot Noir.

and smooth out its rough edges. A great wine with incredible potential, I was impressed by its blackberry flavors and aromas.

2017 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes Tasting notes – One of my favorite wines of the tasting, this lively, intense Pinot Noir has a bright, focused finish.

Flavors ranging from freshpicked cherries and raspber-

2017 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes Premier Cru Tasting notes – Elegant, graceful Pinot Noir with real finesse and style. Dark chocolate flavors mixed with a hint of violets and cherries make this wine a fascinating one that should develop into a real stunner. Give this wine a good five to six years to mature.

Strongly recommend.

2017 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras Premier Cru Tasting notes – Long, intense flavors give this Pinot Noir made with grapes from 30-year-old vines a fascinating complexity.

Highly recommend.

2017 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle-Musigny Bonnes

Mares Grand Cru Tasting notes – Another masterpiece from Domaine Hudelot-Baillet, this beautiful, subtle Pinot Noir has a fascinating, pleasurable finish. Peppery at first, this young thoroughbred smoothes out quite nicely after a few minutes even at this young age. Give this gem at least eight to twelve years to mature. Highly recommend.

2016 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes Tasting notes – If I had to pick my favorite wine of the

tasting, this superb, intense, full-bodied Pinot Noir would be the one. Elegant and soft finish and yet earthy and robust at the same time, this magnificent wine with hints of roasted fruit flavors and rich, dark soil will be a real showstopper in eight to twelve years. An outstanding finish to a wonderful tasting.

Highly recommend.
