  • Ruth Reichl in our favorite disguise.
Gourmet editor-in-chief, former New York Times restaurant critic, and author Ruth Reichl is a rock star of the culinary world, one who famously donned radical disguises to avoid detection while eating on behalf of the NYT. These days, she's not in hiding -- Reichl is a friendly faced ambassador for eating well at home and on one's travels. Catch her sans costumery when Commonwealth Club hosts Reichl in a talk about simple and satisfying recipes from the Gourmet Today cookbook: Tuesday, September 29, 6:15 p.m. at Cubberly Theatre (4000 Middlefield at San Antonio, Palo Alto). Admission is $25 ($15 for Commonwealth Club members). For $100 (members and non-members alike) you get entry to a Draeger's-catered reception and a copy of Gourmet Today; order tix here.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
