t was spooky without spectators.

That’s how Jane Wilkinson of the Holyoke Kennel Club described their Thanksgiving Classic Cluster Dog Show in November. But this weekend’s Yankee Classic Cluster at the Eastern States Exposition grounds in West Springfield will be much different.

“We are welcoming back spectators, and it is going to be so great to have the public back and to be back to normal, at least a lot more normal than the past several years during COVID,” Wilkinson said.

The Yankee Classic Cluster Dog Shows will take place today through Sunday with the Holyoke Kennel Club participating in all-breed confirmation shows as well as obedience and rally trials, while the Naugatuck Valley Kennel Club will be there today, the Kenilworth Kennel Club on Friday and the Farmington Valley Kennel Club on Saturday to participate in confirmation only.

Showtimes are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“It was very, very dull, and very, very quiet and extremely spooky without having the public there to watch our event. Also, we had to spread things out using three buildings, making it even lonelier,

“It took a long time to write to get right, but at last I feel very happy with it,” she said.

The upcoming release is not yet titled.

Harvey added that although she still enjoys many of her contemporaries’ music, such as Thom Yorke’s solo projects, Mica Levi’s bands, and Bob Dylan’s “Rough and Rowdy Ways” album, she added that she is increasingly inspired by soundtracks.

“So I very often am listening to instrumental music from films,” she said. “I’ve become more and more drawn to soundtrack work. I think because of my love of film and television, I so often become completely under the spell of a soundtrack.”

‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ a multiverse adventure An inventive sci-fi action film that was a surprise hit at the box office tops the DVD releases this week.

‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ A harried laundromat owner discovers she’s a part of a huge multiverse during a tax audit. Starring Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu and Ke Huy Quan.

“The audaciously daring and original filmmaking on display is indeed laudable, as well as the obvious delight poured into the making of this film,” writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. “Drawing from classic martial arts movies, video games, and psychedelics probably, there are a few inspired bits and great performances throughout, especially from Yeoh, who demonstrates a real ability for comedy.”

Restaurants rethinking menus due to shortages

I

N AN ERA OF SUPPLY chain disruptions and labor shortages, many operators are redesigning their menus to reflect those new realities.

Food Service Direct (food servicedirect.com), an online wholesaler that caterers to the restaurant industry, recently circulated some ideas on how to make menus “smarter” in today’s pandemic-stressed business environment.

The first of their five menu design “must-dos” was to junk traditional appetizerentree-dessert thinking and instead categorize items by profit and popularity.

That idea is, of course, a variation on the Boston Consulting Group’s Growth Share Matrix, a marketing strategy framework first promoted in the 1970s. It separates menu items into four groups – very popular and profitable, very popular but low profitability, highly profitable but not very popular, and low popularity and low profitability.

Once menu items have been sorted out into these four categories, Food Service Direct suggests that well-understood psychology of menu design principles be used to emphasize the popular-and-profitable and de-emphasize, or eliminate altogether, the low

DINE & WINE

Drawing the line between pale ales and IPAs

One style grew out of the other, but where do experts draw the line?

I

N DECADES AND CENturies gone by, trade routes to India were prized for bringing silk, spices and other valued items to the West.

And as many if not most beer drinkers know, ships traveling to and from India gave India Pale Ales – IPAs – their name. Those boat trips could take months just going one way, and beer would often go bad on the trips. The British started employing extra hops, which have antimicrobial properties and can act as a preservative.

Thus IPAs were born, and their current rampant popularity was somewhat of a long and circuitous journey. But that’s a story for another day.

But I was at The Dirty Truth in Northampton a week or so ago and was intrigued by a pale ale named Goldfinch brewed by Brick & Feather.

And lately, I’ve experienced a bit of palate fatigue with the kind of atomic hop bombs that many IPAs have become.

So I ordered the Goldfinch.

It was as bitter as the Hatfields-McCoys feud – and it was delicious.

But it got me thinking about where we draw the line between IPAs and regular pale ales. “Hoppiness” (a term of nebulous value a lot of the time) is one factor, but also how the malt sits in the flavor profile. I could ramble on and on about how we everyday drinkers view these differences, but since I have an actual beer expert right down the road, I thought I’d ask him.

Mike Schilling, who is co-owner of Beerology in Northampton, has an international diploma in brewing technology from the Siebel

George Lenker Beer Nut

Institute of Technology in Chicago and Doemens Akademie in Munich in 2013. He is also a certified beer judge.

I asked him how beer judges look at the two similar styles when it comes to judging.

He gave me an incredibly informative answer, which I trimmed only very slightly for editorial space’s sake.

“English Pale Ale is judged differently depending on the organization. For example, one group may have you enter this style for competition under ‘Best Bitter’ or ‘Strong Bitter,’ while others offer a ‘Classic English-Style Pale Ale’ category. Hop presence is focused on the more floral, earthy and lightly citrusy end of the spectrum,” he said.

“Generally these beers have more of a focus on toasty, nutty or toffee-like malt character than American-style versions.

These are traditionally quite clear, with balanced bitterness, and a very low level of buttery aroma (diacetyl) from the yeast is permitted.

It should have some amount of lightly fruity fermentation aroma, and it should be easy to drink pints of a good example of the style.”

“American Pale Ale was the biggest craft beer style before

sugar and drizzled with cream cheese icing.

The pancakes and donut holes are available as part of several combination platters.

For lunch and dinner enjoyment, the Minion menu delivers Gru’s Evil Steakburger, a Black Angus burger topped with onions sauteed with jalapeno and serrano peppers. Bacon, jack cheese, and cheddar mac and cheese complete the burger build.

Beverage selection that are part of the Minions menu include a Minion Mango OJ Splasher, a Ba-Ba-Banana Milkshake, and “Cold Gru” Iced Coffee.

The Minion menu will be available through Aug. 21.

There are IHOP locations at Five Town Plaza in Sixteen Acres and on Riverdale Street in West Springfield.

• On July 11, The Dirty Truth in Northampton will hold a Dirty Truth Beer Dinner from 5:30 to 10 p.m.

The evening’s five-course menu will showcase Meadowfed of Hadley and their Silvopasture-raised chicken.

Each of the dinner’s five courses will be paired with a beer from a favorite Dirty Truth brewery.

Tickets for the event are $85, all-inclusive, and can be purchased at The Dirty Truth website, dirtytruthbeerhall. com.

• Every Friday this summer (through Aug. 19) Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, is transforming its Grand Pequot Tower lawn into an outdoor party venue.

These “Bash on the Grass” events begin at 7 p.m. and feature local bands, good eats, and summer cocktails along with plenty of lawn games in which to participate.

A popular food truck or two is being booked for each Friday, and the cost of attending is easy on summer budgets – the ticket price is free.

For details go to foxwoods. com/entertainment.

• On July 12, the Uno Pizzeria & Grill at Haymarket Square on Boston Road will host a Christmas in July kids’ event.

Held between 4 and 7 p.m. the focus of the fun will be a cookie decorating party.

During the event kids eat free from the children’s menu; purchase of an adult entree is required. Reservations are necessary and can be made by calling Uno at 413-543-6600.

• Denny’s Corp. has introduced three summer season, limited-time-only menu selections.

Strawberry Dream Cakes are a breakfast selection that includes buttermilk pancakes topped with vanilla cream, strawberries, shortbread cookie pieces, and strawberry sauce. The Dream Cakes are served with eggs, bacon or sausage, and hash brown potatoes.

The Brisket-It-All Melt is a breakfast-anytime creation that brings together brisket “burnt ends,” diced bacon, and two eggs, finishing them with garnishes of cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce and pickles. Assembled on grilled artisan bread, the melt is served with fries.

A Brisket-B-Q Melt is similarly constructed, but does not include the eggs and bacon.

All three items will be available while supplies last.

• The Student Prince and Fort Restaurant in downtown Springfield has reopened its Fort Street dining tent for the season. Weather permitting, the outdoor space is available during regular restaurant hours.

One change this summer, however, is that outside seating is now “first come, first served”; no reservations will be taken.

The Fort’s special Summerfest menu continues to offer seasonal favorites such as a lobster roll, veal sommer schnitzel, and fresh strawberry shortcake.

The Student Prince answers at 413-734-7475.

• The forces that have been

challenging the restaurant industry are also having an impact on culinary education.

At last month’s Center for the Advancement of Foodservice Education (CAFE) Leadership Conference, held in Portland, Maine, attendees talked of how increased food and labor costs were affecting their budgets.

There also was discussion about culinary school enrollments and how the labor problems in the restaurant industry seemed to be influencing student decisions to continue (or skip) their formal culinary education.

A number of attendees talked about the impact technology was having on the industry, and there was also considerable focus on the need to teach students how to maximize the use of increasingly expensive ingredients.

The CAFE Leadership Conference is an annual event held in various cities across North America. The Center’s web address is cafemeeting place.com.

• In contrast to the industry’s dominant burger chain, which has been cautious in its testing of plant-based products, Miami-based Burger King has been moving forward aggressively in the area, most recently introducing The Impossible King, a sandwich featuring a plant-based patty made by Redwood City, California-based Impossible Foods.

The Impossible King is served topped with American cheese, onion, pickles, ketchup and mustard; its suggested price is $5.99 Burger King is also featuring a limited-time-only lineup of “Southwest” sandwiches, all of which are enhanced with avocado spread, seasoned tortilla chips, bacon, and a “creamy spicy” sauce.
