If it's spicy, chances are I'll like it. Thai, Szechuan, Mexican, Japanese, or Indian: if it leaves my lips a little tingly and my sinuses a little clearer, it's generally okay by me, which is why I was excited to try out the newly-opened King of Tandoor in Logan Square. Now, I'm no expert in the field of Indian cooking, but I've eaten my share of good Indian food, and my share of bad......

Well, it's one way to keep cool.......

You know what we're thinking about today? We're only 21 days away from The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...Beware the link, the signature music plays right away, and loudly, too.

This week, we've got another theatre quote from Shakespeare because, as it turns out, the Bard was totally meta. This one is from Hamlet, and it comes at the end of a very long monologue (did you know that Hamlet is the talkiest of all Shakespeare's characters?) during which Hamlet schemes to have his uncle admit to killing his father. The entirety of the well-known quote, which isn't even a complete sentence, is: "...the play's......

We can't help it. Whenever anyone so much as mentions Wicked, we get "Defying Gravity" stuck in our heads. Or "Popular." Now, on with the listings! Wicked - Are you a good witch, or a bad witch? March 22-April 9. Tickets are selling out quickly; what remains is available online.
