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
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 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:

  • 2 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1 small red onion, coarsely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 serrano chile
  • 1 jalapeno, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • salt and pepper
Preheat grill or use side burners of the grill. Heat oil in medium saucepan, add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add tomatoes, serrano and jalapeno and cook until tomatoes are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Puree the mixture with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Add the hot sauce, oregano, cilantro and lime juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
