New Wandsworth restaurant ready to cook up (pizza) storm in 180 ...

Review analysis
food   menu  

With 900 degree ovens, the restaurant will be able to cook fresh, stone-baked pizzas in just three minutes.

The company wanted to create a restaurant where the pizza is totally unique to the diner – and with more than 50 unlimited toppings, and more than a million different combinations, customers will certainly not be lacking in choice.

Customers will have the option of designing their own pizza in a Subway-style counter, picking their own base, cheese, toppings and sauces.

A takeaway option is also available (with just a three minute wait of course) and it won’t break the bank, either – whatever the pizza, however many toppings, every one is guaranteed to cost less than £9.

For those diners who enjoy a tipple with their pizza, the restaurant will offer a selection of beers for less than £3 and wines less than £10.

Where: Court Theatre, 5535 S. Ellis Ave. When: through Oct. 15 Tickets: $44-$74 Phone: 773-753-4472 Court Theatre is kicking off its 63rd season on a very high note with an infectiously joyous “Five Guys Named Moe,” Clarke Peters’ celebration of saxophonist, songwriter, and band leader Louis Jordan.

Peters’ conceit starts with a young man, Nomax (Stephen “Blu” Allen), whose woman has left him, leading him to drink and listen to the blues on his big console radio into the wee hours of the morning.

All of a sudden the radio starts talking back and out pop the five Moes: Eat Moe (James Earl Jones II), No Moe (Eric A. Lewis), Little Moe (Darrian Ford), Four Eyed Moe (Kelvin Roston Jr.), and Big Moe (Lorenzo Rush Jr.).

His feel for the harmonics and how the songs should sound is spot on, and it’s a real pleasure to not have to listen to singing that’s too loud, with one big crescendo after another, and the other ills of so many modern musicals.

The men all have beautiful voices, very different from each other, and they dance up a storm—particularly Ford’s Little Moe.

Review/Theater; From London, a Celebration Of Louis Jordan and ...

Review analysis
drinks  

"Five Guys Named Moe," the London hit that opened at the Eugene O'Neill Theater last night, wants to sell you a drink.

That entertainment is unlikely to be confused by many New York audiences with this production's obvious prototypes, "Ain't Misbehavin' " and "One Mo' Time," with which it shares its cast size, nostalgic musical ambitions and intended saloon ambiance.

Given that the show's creators are both American-born black men -- Clarke Peters (book) and Charles Augins (direction and choreography) -- the evening's synthetic tone is most surprising.

Perhaps the problem is that Mr. Peters and Mr. Augins have spent too much time in London (most of their careers, according to the Playbill).

I cannot say, since I did not see the London edition, which began at a theater half the size of the O'Neill before moving to the West End.

What: their signature burger is a 7oz 28-day aged Scottish rump topside of beef patty served in a choice of demi brioche or wholemeal bap, with garnishes, and a secret Hot Pink Burger Sauce.

What: Chef Rob Mitchell coats and marinades Atlantic salmon in teriyaki sauce, bakes for eight minutes at 200C, and puts them inside toasted buns drizzled with mayonnaise along with beef tomatoes, gem lettuce and red onion.
