Janet Ryan and Straight Up return to Springfield stage

I

T’S ALWAYS A SPECIAL treat for me to write about people whom I know personally and who are worthy of every accolade I can give them.

Such is the case this week when old friends Janet Ryan and Straight Up play Theodores’ on Saturday at 9:30 p.m.

I’ve known Janet and her guitarist extraordinaire Ray Chaput for decades now, and those two, combined with the other excellent players in the band, make for a guaranteed night of great entertainment.

(I also know two of the three bassists who revolve in and out of the band depending on their schedules, Dennis LeBeau and Guy DeVito, both of whom are phenomenal.)

If you like the blues, you can’t go wrong with these folks. Janet anchored her passion for the blues while living in Chicago, where she hung out with the likes of Koko Taylor, Magic Slim and Big Twist and The Mellow Fellows. She also had the honor of singing with Duke Ellington when she was only 16.

The band’s song is fairly ferocious, fired by the tremendous engine of Janet’s voice combined with Ray’s soulful

The rest of the band provides a sturdy structure to support the powerhouse sound. This is high-energy stuff.

The group has shared the stage with or opened for notables such as John Hammond, Guitar Shorty, James Montgomery, Solomon Burke, James Cotton, Johnny Winter, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Sugar Ray and The Bluetones, Magic Dick and J. Geils, Monster Mike Welch, Dickey Betts, Charles Neville and Roomful of Blues. Check them out.

downtown Springfield.

Scouting report • Speaking of old friends, The Ray Mason Band will play Luthier’s Co-op in Easthampton tomorrow. Ray and his troupe will go on at 9:30 p.m., preceded by Opal Canyon at 8 p.m. and Love Love at 7 p.m. Luthier’s Co-op is at 108 Cottage St. • Speaking of Easthampton, if you’re looking for a different sort of comedy night, check out the comedy

open mic at The 413 Pub in that city. The weekly event takes place every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m., with sign-ups starting at 7 p.m. The 413 Pub is at 40 Holyoke St. in Easthampton.

• The Rendezvous in the Turners Falls section of Montague will feature A Former Friend tomorrow and Moving Day on Saturday. Both shows begin at 9:30 p.m. The venue is at 78 Third St. I have not had a chance to hear A Former Friend yet, but Moving Day is

definitely a duo to give a listen to. It’s hard to pigeonhole them, but lead singer Rocco Desgres might be described as a combination of Syd Barrett and Jonathan Richman. So if you like both or either of those guys, this project will be right up your alley.

Do you have a cool event coming up at a local club? Send me a note about it at least two weeks in advance to geolenker@ yahoo.com and I’ll try to get it in this space.

The annual event – held for four days beginning tomorrow, on the grounds of the Eastern States Exposition – will feature more than 2,000 American Kennel Club (AKC) registered dogs and their handlers.

Competitions, including all-breed, obedience trials and rally, will run from 8 a.m.

to 5 p.m. in the Better Living Center, Mallary Complex and Young Building.

Participating kennel clubs include Holyoke tomorrow, South Windsor on Saturday, Windham County on Sunday, and Springfield on Monday.

During the all-breed competitions, canines will be judged against various standards that have been set for their breed such as weight, bite, size, tail and coat, among other characteristics. In obedience trials, dogs will be judged by how well they listen to commands to sit, heel, walk and jump, and also in scent discrimination. For rally, dogs and their handlers navigate a course with numbered signs indicating different skills and exercises.

“While obedience and rally certainly offer more action for spectators, the all-breed competition is an opportunity to become more familiar with

what each breed looks like,” Tom Davies, cluster coordinator and the Springfield Kennel Club’s delegate to the AKC, said about what some refer to as a “beauty show.”

The public is invited and encouraged by the clubs to attend the shows and watch all the pooches compete with their handlers.

“If you are thinking about purchasing a dog, it’s also a good opportunity to talk with the many owners about the different breeds they will be showing,” Davies said.

With the colder weather and holidays arriving, Davies had a couple of reminders to share.

“Don’t keep your dog outdoors too long, and when the snow flies, if there is salt on the streets and walkways, be sure to keep your dog’s paws clean,” Davies said.

“And, if you are thinking of

Have you ever had that uncanny sensation of waking up from a dream when, in reality, you are still dreaming? That disorienting feeling is the sensation that “Superliminal” pursues with astounding flair.

This remarkably designed puzzle game, which is very much in the spirit of “Portal” and “The Stanley Parable,” uses perspective as a gameplay mechanic. Puzzles are solved by finding the right way to look at things.

This system is given a light, psychological dimension through the brief musings of Dr. Glenn Pierce, whose job at the SommaSculpt Dream Therapy Program is to guide patients through a lucid dreaming experience.

Dr. Pierce offers his services to people struggling with self-doubt, envy, and other negative emotions rooted in social anxiety. “Perspective is everything,” is a phrase that recurs throughout Pierce’s program. When, as a patient, you deviate from this experience by accessing parts of the dream space you aren’t supposed to, you incur the ire of a robotic-sounding woman whose manner and voice bear no small resemblance to GlaDOS from “Portal.”

I felt ambivalent about much of “Superliminal’s” story line. I found the GlaDOS-sounding voice-over alternately distracting and mildly amusing in the way of a good impersonation. And Dr. Pierce’s mannered encouragements and observations failed to capture my ear. But that hardly matters because the experience of playing “Superliminal” recommends itself many times over. The ways in which it uses forced perspective and trump l’oeil illusions to evoke the subconscious is thrilling. In this game, an object that seems gigantic at a distance may, when

though it were a stage set.

Later puzzles in the game are even more trippy. One of my favorites involves finding a miniature representation of an environment you’re standing in that can be picked up and moved to another area, thus changing the location of where you’re standing. (To illustrate this example without completely giving the puzzle away, imagine standing in a house and then finding a tiny model of that house on a table which you move into a mouse hole. Then imagine walking out the door of the house into the mouse hole.) I’m tempted to list oodles of other examples that tickled my brain but I will refrain so that others may discover these spatial paradoxes for themselves.

“Superliminal” is dreamy, calming and mind-bending.

This four-to-five hour game, which was developed by a tiny team over six years, should not be overlooked.

DINE & WINE Fran Bellamy | Restaurant Review

Storrowton Tavern & Carriage House retains familiar charm

W

E FOUND OURselves wondering how the location of Storrowton Tavern & Carriage House on the Eastern States Exposition grounds has impacted business over the years. But on both occasions when we made our way through the one open gate, drove through the brick “tunnel” and navigated onto the one way lane the restaurant occupies we found the establishment bustling with patrons.

Very little had changed since our last visit to the storied site, as we found ourselves immersed in the dimly-lit, wellworn dark wood surroundings and presented with a comfortingly familiar retro-inspired menu.

We experienced a pang of guilt upon deciding to forgo the traditional relish tray this time, but the once standard family style amuse-bouche of sorts can be purchased as an appetizer ($6) and still consists of corn relish, cranberry relish and cottage cheese.

Heavy on the seafood side, the appetizers list sets the stage for the classic menu with Shrimp Cocktail ($9), Escargots ($8), Blackened Sea Scallops ($12), Fried Oysters ($11) and Fried Calamari ($10).

We chose to pair the New England classic Clams Casino ($8) with the Italian inspired Artichoke Francaise ($7) to start. The three, bacon and breading-topped littleneck clams were nestled in a stainless steel dish, conjoined by their topping of melted cheese and served with a wedge of lemon. The dish was a decent representation of the regional starter albeit overtaken somewhat by a sweetness that we couldn’t quite put a finger on.

The artichokes were as

advertised by the namesake Francais - lightly fried and served in a sauce of butter and lemon, then adorned with the addition of melted cheese.

Storrowton offers a Grand Caesar Salad for Two (9) alongside two entree salads; Grilled Chicken Caesar ($16) and Blackened Salmon ($18).

The From the Garden section also includes the tavern’s nod to vegetarians in the form of the Vegetable Compose with choice of potato and house vegetables for $17.

Yankee Pot Roast headlines the entrees on the menu and even boasts its own tagline: “This one is the reason we’re here.” The Beefsteaks and Other Specialties section

HOUGH LOCATION and ambiance can be important, it’s the vision and skill of the chef that truly determines a restaurant’s destiny.

A talented culinary maestro can turn a humble, out-of-theway eatery into a “must visit,” while a lackluster presence in the kitchen can spell doom for even the upscale of dining venues.

Imagine then, a restaurant that has not one great chef, but an ongoing progression of world-class culinarians, each in turn creating a menu and running its kitchen. Such an establishment exists; it’s operated by Stephane De Baets, a Belgian ex-patriate and former investment banker, under the name of Chef ’s Club.

De Baets has three Chef ’s Club locations worldwide, with one in New York City, a second in Aspen, Colorado, and a third in Taipei, Taiwan.

The idea behind Chef ’s Club is, in De Baets’ words, “one restaurant, many chefs.”

Chefs from around the world, some culinary superstars, others ambitious newbies who have just begun to make a name for themselves, create signature dishes for the Chef ’s Club menu and, in many instances, become a short-term “chef in residence.” The New York City Chef ’s Club, located on Mulberry Street in Manhattan’s Nolita District, has hosted as many as 50 chefs a year over its five years of operation.

De Baets has even expanded his concept into fast-casual territory, opening Chef ’s Club Counter, an all-day cafeteria that features grab-and-go fare conceptualized by such food world luminaries as George Mendes and Jean-George Vongerichten.

Most recently Chef ’s Club hosted Eric Frechon, of Le Bristol Paris, a Michelin threestar establishment. Chef Frechon was in residence at the Manhattan location from Nov. 5 through 9, generating a week of sold-out reservations.

Where do the bubbles come from in sparkling wine?

Bubbles in sparkling wine occur due to several factors – the amount of sugar and yeast in the wine, along with the amount of time the wine ages. In many cases, the way winemakers create sparkling wine is by adding additional yeast and sugar to wine already in bottles. The bottles are then rotated systematically for a few months to a few years depending on the wine.

There are many other ways to make sparkling wine. But this is one of the most popular ways, often known as the “traditional method” or “classic method.”

Sweetness levels in sparkling wine All of the sparkling wines recommended this week are on the drier side. That’s my personal preference. But sparkling wines can cover a wide range, from fairly sweet to very dry. So how can you tell the difference?

You can find out how sweet or dry a sparkling wine is by looking for the following six words or phrases on the bottle.

These terms indicate how much sugar the sparkling wine contains. The more sugar in the wine, the sweeter it tastes.

From sweetest to driest, the six different sweetness levels for sparkling wines are: doux, demi sec, sec, extra dry, brut, and extra brut.

Most of the sparkling wines recommended this week are brut sparkling wines.

Wine tasting notes Here are my recommendations, organized by where they come from in the world.

Let me add that these are just a few of my favorite sparkling wines under $20. There are so many great ones out there at this price level, especially from Spain and Italy. Hope you enjoy.

USA Gruet Rose ($15 Suggested Retail Price) (New Mexico, USA) New Mexico isn’t a place you’d expect to find a great, dry sparkling wine. But Gruet has been defying expectation for decades, making crisp, delightfully dry sparkling wines like this rose of the desert.

Lamberti Prosecco ($14) (Veneto, Italy) Let me say right up front that I’m a big fan of dry sparkling wines. The drier, the better.

Craft beer memories through the decades

N LESS THAN TWO months craft beer will enter its sixth decade.

I’ve already been drinking for five decades myself, so I thought it would be fun to look back and recall some notable markers in each decade. So let’s get started with a trip down memory lane about some beers that we either fondly remember first having, or maybe have forgotten about in these current days of having a microbrewery on every corner.

In the 1970s, before craft beer was really a “thing,” I mostly drank Guinness. New Albion was around, but I never saw it anywhere. So Guinness was basically one of the only beers around that I liked.

George Lenker Beer Nut

I never really liked industrial brand beers to start with, but I did enjoy the mother’s milk of Ireland, once I had it on tap. (I wasn’t crazy about the bottled version, but I drank it.) I did drink some Anchor Steam Ale at Packard’s in Northampton and also some Bass Ale

back then, particularly when ordering black and tans with Guinness.

The 1980s of course were when things really got started.

There was Sam Adams Boston Ale and Boston Lager, which I really enjoyed, but my favorite was Catamount. The company had very few styles, but it’s Amber Ale was my favorite. I still mourn its passing.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale also made its appearance and although I enjoyed it quite a bit and still do at times, it wasn’t always available, even though it had been around since 1980. Then in 1987, the Northampton Brewery opened, and I got a taste of fresh local beer. The place still serves as one of my main drinking spots.

The ’90s were when things really took off, both nationally and locally. Here in Massachusetts, Amherst Brewing Co., Berkshire Brewing Co., Paper City Brewing Co., and the People’s Pint in Greenfield all opened up. I recall visiting The People’s Pint on its first day and sampling it’s still delicious Farmer Brown Ale. On the national scene, Stone Brewing was starting to come into its own with offerings such as its Russian Imperial Stout, as well as beer such as Bear Republic’s Racer 5, Ballast Point’s West Coast IPA, and Dogfish Head’s India

Fermenters inside the Tree House Brewing Co. facility. Tree House Brewing blazed the trail for local craft brewing in Massachusetts. (THE REPUBLICAN FILE PHOTO)

Brown Ale. The 2000s saw some of those 1990s breweries gain traction, and new companies like Lost Abbey produce Judgment Day, a fantastic Belgian Quad. Another beer I was lucky to get my hands on, even though it wasn’t sold nearby, was Surly Brewing’s Furious IPA, which led me to seek out and get its Smoke, an unparalleled Baltic Porter.

This past decade, the 2010s, kicked off with a bang as both Hill Farmstead and Wormtown Brewing opened in 2010. One of the first Hill Farmstead beers I had was a delicious porter, Twilight of the Idols. If anyone ever wants to bring me a growler back Celebrati Over 40 Y ng EARS!

(of any Hill Farmstead beers), feel free.

The decade has also seen an explosion of new breweries, many of them so-called nanobreweries. The “drink local” cry became a reality as a lot of bigger nationally known craft beer brands lost real estate in terms of tap handles because bars made room for more local beer. In my region here in Western Massachusetts, we gained an army of new beermakers, with brands such as Iron Duke, New City, Building 8, Abandoned Building, Fort Hill, Brew Practitioners, White Lion, Honest Weight, Progression, Brick and Feather, Hitchcock, Drunken Rabbit, Vanished Valley, Tin Bridge, Two Weeks Notice and more.

This local ascendency happened along with the birth and boom of the New England IPA style. This trail was largely blazed by Tree House Brewing, which has become a major Massachusetts success story.

I obviously left a lot of great beer memories out in this small space. Feel free to let me know what your craft beer favorites have been over the decades. Whether you have been drinking for every decade of craft beer or just one, I’d love to hear what you like.

Seafood Casserole featuring Gorgonzola. The most modern addition is surely a Homemade Lobster Mac and Cheese, which sits atop the seafood price range at $24.

Poultry and pasta make up the remainder of the mains, and mirror seafood in their makeup of traditional New England dishes (think Chicken Pot Pie) interspersed with Italian classics the likes of Alfredo and Marsala.

Unable to resist tucking into some throwback classics as our nod to eating when in Rome style, we settled on Coquilles St.Jacques and Surf & Turf.

Our long wait for entrees was rewarded by two piping hot dishes. The filet mignon was both well-seasoned and cooked to our desired medium rare. It was an interestingly large cut for a filet in that it included the chain meat, the attached section of beef usually cut away from the tenderloin in the butchering process. The baked stuffed shrimp were not quite fresh off the boat, but appropriately topped with the classic crumbs and butter.

Coquilles St. Jacques is just not a dish you see every day — or even every year — and Storrowton makes a respectable rendition. The large oval gratin dish contained several fresh, sweet sea scallops in a rich mushroom sauce
