What to do this weekend: Rocky Horror Anniversary Show


In honor of the 35th year anniversary of the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Million Dollar Theater in Downtown Los Angeles will host a special screening of the film with guest Barry Bostwick and an international shadowcast of performers on Saturday, September 25, 2010.
If you are from LA, im sure you have seen (OR
atleast heard of) the troupe that performs at the Nuart Theater in West LA every Saturday night at midnight since December 1987!!  I'm sure this anniversary event will be an even more spectacular version of this rowdy show, full of the typical audience participation, costumes and props.
The screening will take place in one of the most gorgeous theaters in LA, built in 1918 by Sid Grauman. The theater gets it's namesake because it cost 1 million dollars (an astounding price at the time) to build.

Tickets for the special screening event are $20 in advance online at  http://beticketing.com/rhps35  and $25 the day of show at The Million Dollar Theater.  VIP tickets in the front rows are also available online for $40 ($45 at the door) and include free prop kits.  The film is Rated R (under 17 not admitted without a guardian).  For more information on the venue, please call 213-617-3600 or visit www.milliondollartheater.com

Bobby Flay's Fish Tacos

One of my favorite summer dishes are Fish Tacos. They are fresh, tasty and an easy to make.  Here is a delicious recipe from Bobby Flay:

Taco Ingredients:

  • 1 pound white flaky fish, such as mahi mahi or orata
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoons ancho chili powder
  • 1 jalapeno, coarsely chopped

  • 8 flour tortillas

Garnish:

  • Shredded white cabbage
  • Hot sauce
  • Thinly sliced red onion
  • Thinly sliced green onion
  • Chopped cilantro leaves
  • Pureed tomato Salsa, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place fish in a medium size dish. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, ancho, jalapeno, and cilantro and pour over the fish. Let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove the fish from the marinade place onto a hot grill, flesh side down. Grill the fish for 4 minutes on the first side and then flip for 30 seconds and remove. Let rest for 5 minutes then flake the fish with a fork.

Place the tortillas on the grill and grill for 20 seconds. Divide the fish among the tortillas and garnish with any or all of the garnishes.

Pureed Tomato Salsa:

Trend Watch: Clogs

Clogs have been on the Culturista radar since the Chanel Spring/Summer 2010 show.  Karl Lagerfeld showed country coquettes in a barnyard setting wearing almost exclusively clogs.  And we say it's about time they came back in fashion!  For some reason it just feels right.

Many stylish celebrities have already been spotted rocking the trend, such as Mary Kate Olsen, Rachel Bilson and Alexa Chung

There are tons of stores starting to sell clogs- so whether you choose to buy a designer pair like Marni or a more affordable option like Steve Madden you are sure to look like the fashiona you are!

Summer Love at the Frying Pan


There is nothing I love more than summer in New York. The heat is sweltering, hair is frizzy, and everyone wants to dine and drink outdoors. The city feels like a new and exciting playground and several outdoor restaurants and rooftop bars open fling open their doors.

The Frying Pan is by far one of my favorite divey spots. It is a restored lightship that dates back to 1929 and is now docked as hangout haven on the Hudson River. Whether you are in the market for a romantic dinner or casual group gathering, the Frying Pan is the ultimate summer spot. The menu is not extensive but the new-American dishes are bursting with flavor. The Culturistas recommend the citrus glazed salmon served with lentils, preserved lemons, and mixed greens. Just be weary that once you board the boat will rock.

Restaurant Profile: The Westside Tavern


The Westside Tavern is found on the bottom floor of the Westside Pavillion.  It's modern take on California Tavern cuisine fits perfectly in its large contemporary space.  California Tavern Cuisine is basically a mash-up of the high and low, i.e. a French Dip sandwich using lamb and a rosemary au jus.  The restaurant takes comfort food to a gourmet level.  And complete with a blackboard on the wall announcing the specials of the day, you feel quite at home at The Westside Tavern.    


The menu consists of delicious soups and salads, flat breads and amazing sandwiches, along with typical fish and meat dishes with a twist.  Everything is fresh and delicious with great flavor.  Enjoy their cocktail specialties and many beers on tap. 

The Westside Tavern does not take reservations- however wait times usually don't take too long considering the size of the restaurant.  Make it a movie night too (The Landmark theaters are upstairs!)
