Four new restaurants are tasty additions to the Twin Cities suburbs
With pizzas, pastas, short ribs, oysters and much more, chefs showcase dynamic dining.
By Rick Nelson Star Tribune
January 9, 2019 — 3:17pm
Please don't say there's nowhere interesting to dine in the suburbs, because that's just not the case.
Let's start in Wayzata.
Alex Dayton (no, the Iowa-raised chef isn't one of those Daytons) has compiled an enviable résumé for a 28-year-old. Particularly when it comes to the pizza and pasta arts, since he's cooked in the kitchens at Flour + Water in San Francisco and Tenant, the Kenwood and Red Wagon Pizza Co. in Minneapolis.
Now he's focusing on those two basic food groups at his own place, aptly titled the Dough Room. The restaurant, which has taken over the former home of District Fresh Kitchen + Bar, places these two disciplines at the forefront of its appealing menu.
Seven scrupulously prepared pastas ($11 to $34) include a giant raviolo filled with creamy housemade ricotta and a barely cooked egg yolk, the plate dressed with butternut squash, brown butter and tart, crunchy pickled apples. It's an ideal winter meal.
A tangle of firm, golden bigoli, a thick spaghetti, is blanketed in butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano to become a study in life's simple pleasures. (Dayton could be more aggressive with the black pepper, however.) Kale, transformed into a powder, becomes a dye for delicate, vivid green agnolotti, which are filled with a lively Bolognese.
Dayton is a gifted pizza maker, topping golden, chewy crusts ($15 to $21) with a creative flurry of ingredients: a gutsy fennel sausage with tons of lively Calabrian chiles, ham with balsamic vinegar, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts with harissa.
Flour aside, a handful of entrees ($19 to $42) include a steak showcasing dry-aged, Wisconsin-raised beef, a double-cut pork chop from that same farm and roast chicken with parsnips in half- and full-portion sizes. Starters range from well-seasoned meatballs in red sauce and chicken liver mousse to a few salads and a crock of supple burrata dressed with crunchy winter-larder vegetables and mellow balsamic, spread on hearty breads.
Dayton's best dessert ($8) involves dough, of course. Specifically, a skillfully crafted bread pudding finished with a luscious creme fraiche ice cream. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, the setting is handsome and comfortable, and the wine list is roughly 98 percent Italian. Yeah, I can't wait to return.

Shrimp toast at Willards in Cambridge.
When chef Erick Harcey was running his Upton 43 and Victory 44 restaurants in Minneapolis — both closed in 2017 — his daily commute from his home in Cambridge, Minn., was a soul-sucking hour in each direction. His new gig in downtown Cambridge has trimmed that drive to a matter of minutes.
"The only downside is that it's so short that my car doesn't warm up," he said with a laugh.
Now he's working at the Leader, an old-school Main Street department store. Talk about a homecoming: When he was a kid, Harcey worked in the store's formalwear department. Grant Johnson, Harcey's business partner, hails from the family that has owned the store for a century.
Together they've not only remade the retail side of the business, but they've carved out a significant portion of the building's square footage for a remarkable and stylish restaurant they've christened Willards.
Comeback stories are irresistible, and this one radiates rebirth on multiple dimensions. Not only does Willards represent an exciting new chapter for a beloved civic institution, but it's also a delicious new platform for a talented chef returning to — and improving — his hometown.
Harcey, working with former Tullibee chef Bradley Day, is producing the kind of confident, meticulous and approachable cooking that creates culinary destinations. Yes, the Perfect Burger, an idealized bacon cheeseburger from Harcey's Victory 44 days, is here, and it's better than ever. Ditto the dreamy Swedish meatballs that made the demise of the short-lived Upton 43 so painful.
You're craving toast Skagen, that Swedish open-face sandwich? Harcey has it on the menu, with tiny shrimp tossed in a lemon-packed mayonnaise and plenty of dill. A braised beef sandwich, served with a decadent potato purée and a pool of rich gravy, is an explicit nod to Harcey's grandfather. Delicate, puffed-up fry bread becomes the delivery vehicle of choice for a luscious Cheddar spread, its richness cut with bright black currants.
Drop in for a post-9 a.m. breakfast and dig into a photo-worthy fried egg paired with slab-cut bacon, or knobbly Cheddar- and chive-packed biscuits smothered in a maple sausage gravy, or a stack of dainty little waffles colorfully dressed with lingonberries and candied pecans. During the day, prices hover in the low teens; at night, few venture beyond the low $20s.
At dinner, there's a pork chop with wild rice pilaf, a grilled rib-eye with a loaded-to-the-gills baked potato, and potato-cheese dumplings, all, no doubt, receiving the full-on Harcey treatment. Dessert includes an inventive and nutty wild rice ice cream, and hand pie boasting the flakiest of doughs (using duck fat helps) and filled with tender, sweet apples.
With hundreds of people descending upon the place every day, Cambridge obviously knows that a good thing — scratch that, a great thing — has landed in its midst. Well done, all around.
133-135 Main St. S., Cambridge, Minn., 763-689-5600, willardsmn.com. Breakfast-lunch (doors open at 9 a.m.) and dinner Tuesday through Saturday.
Brand-new in Bayport
Beet-arugula salad at Manger Restaurant & Wine Bar in Bayport.
What a delight to see chef Mike Willenbring being his own boss. After a seven-year run at Revé Bistro & Bar in Stillwater, Willenbring and his wife, Nicole, took over the extremely cozy and charming former home of L'Etoile du Nord Cafe and opened Manger Restaurant & Wine Bar.
It's easy to see — since the kitchen is visible from every seat in the house — that Willenbring is all about wholesome, cutting-no-corners cooking. When I stopped in for lunch, the scent of burning wood was wafting from the oven, where Willenberg — another 28-year-old whiz — was baking plate-sized pizzas, the crisped-up crusts topped with well-edited, obviously fresh choices.
I also encountered a beautifully appointed beet salad, and the kind of fragrant tomato bisque that warms a winter-addled person from the inside out. Oh, and oysters, two varieties from the East Coast and two from the West.
At dinner, Willenbring is promising staples along the lines of beef short ribs with a parsnip purée, housemade tagliatelle tossed with lobster, steak frites and roast duck. That all sounds just about right for the neighborhood.
320 5th Av. N., Bayport, 651-324-9313, mangerrestaurant.com. Lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday.
Chicken pizza at Pizza Karma in Eden Prairie.
After producing page-turning cookbook after cookbook, it looks as if Minneapolis-based author Raghavan Iyer is on the cusp of launching another delicious and influential Minnesota export.
His Pizza Karma, which opened last month in a strip mall that also contains one of the metro area's better Indian restaurants (India Spice House, indiaspicehouseep.com), seems poised to break out as the Next Big Chain.
It's a terrific idea: using naan (yes, there's a gluten-free option), baked in showy tandoor ovens, as the basis for generously topped flatbreads. Iyer wisely takes a global approach to toppings — spiced-up shrimp with curry leaves, cardamom-scented lamb meatballs, tandoor-roasted chicken marinated in yogurt and garlic, chile-rubbed pork — and keeps the oval-shaped pies in the $10-$12 range. There are build-your-own options (love the lively harissa sauce) and a half-dozen house specialties.
Don't skip the starters, particularly the pan-fried potato cakes, a stick-to-your-ribs treat served with a ginger-golden raisin sauce. The recipe is in Iyer's essential "Smashed, Mashed, Boiled, and Baked" cookbook, and I'm shocked that a food truck hasn't co-opted them as a house specialty.
Service is friendly and fleet, and there's an admirable dedication to recycling and composting.
8451 Joiner Way, Eden Prairie, 952-467-6100, pizzakarma.com. Lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday.

A wholly individual boutique resort in the Caribbean, with a real sense of intimacy and privacy.
The five-star Calabash Cove Resort & Spa Hotel is tucked away amidst the steep sloping coastline of north-west St Lucia, with only 26 rooms. The infinity pool and main buildings are sheltered on one side by rich tropical vegetation, and look out across the sea, just feet away, on the other. The main pool is the focal point of the resort; an irregular shape to accommodate for the Swim-Up Bar and the individual steps from each of the Swim-Up Junior Suites. The pool terrace provides some of the resort's best views, as the pathways and lawns slope away to the seafront accommodation below. The Sunset Ocean View Junior Suites are housed in the main hotel building and capture the most extensive panoramas, from the lapping waves below to the bays, beaches, and hills opposite. Down on the seafront are the Water's Edge Cottages, which have the most Caribbean flavour in their abundance of wood and warm colours. Their decked terraces sit just a stone's throw from the water, and open out onto a small plunge pool. All room types combine spaciousness with a sense of seclusion and peace and quiet that comes with being at an adults-only hotel. At lunchtime, choose from a selection of fresh, light, Caribbean dishes at the Swim-Up Pool Bar, complete with sea-view deck. In the evenings (though also open at breakfast and lunch), dine on the stunning terrace of Windsong Restaurant, famed to be one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean. Here, international cuisine, including Asian flavours, is combined with local, authentic ingredients. Seafood takes pride of place, seasoned with fresh, invigorating spices. As you eat and sample the selection of wines available at the restaurant, watch the sun go down behind the Piton Mountains. After dinner, try the seasonal range of beers and wines available at the C Bar. The expertly-designed treatments at the TI Spa have been influenced by St Lucian tradition as well as European expertise, and all products are made from local, organic products. Guests can choose to enjoy their treatment under the picturesque sea-view wooden gazebo, on the boardwalk, or in your own suite. When planning your day trips from Calabash Cove, consult the hotel staff, who can assist in organising a range of activities, from sailing and sunset cruises, to mud baths and hikes in the forest.
On the north-western coast of St Lucia.
26 rooms with four-poster beds, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, jacuzzi, mini bar, tea and coffee making facilities, wifi, television, telephone, and modern amenities. Additional beds cannot be added to any room types.
Windsong Restaurant, C Bar, Swim-Up Bar, Ti Spa, infinity pool, Whispers Music Room, Cove Gardens, and private Mosaic Beach.
The island of St Lucia is small enough to maintain the rustic tropical island feel, but large enough to provide a huge range of day-time and evening activities. The capital of the island, Castries, is situated in the crater of an extinct volcano, and so offers excellent scenery as well as a real Caribbean feel. Here, you can also look around the market of fruit, veg, and handicrafts such as pottery. Derek Walcott Square offers a peaceful atmosphere, beautiful views, and colonial architecture. Pigeon Island National Historic Park is the first of its kind in St Lucia, joined to the mainland by a causeway; it is home to two stunning white sandy beaches, abundant tropical plant and wildlife, an eclectic local restaurant, and a network of ruins. The resort also offers sailing, snorkelling, and diving trips that help guests become better acquainted with the Caribbean sealife, amongst the reef of Anse Cochon or in the clear waters around Saline Point. Inland excursions take you past waterfalls, the Pitons, and over volcanoes; or, go birdwatching in the forest, or make your own chocolate on a historic cocoa estate.
Diving, snorkelling, hiking, cycling, sailing, water sports, and walking.
Children are not permitted at the resort.
2 nights minimum stay throughout year. 4 nights in the Water's Edge Cottage. 6 nights over Christmas and New Year.

James Lord :: Millennials - Any way out of the 9-5?
We ask ourselves if there is any way out of the 9-5 and start fantasising about quitting the day job, moving out of the "too-small" flat and leaving this all behind.
But it is impossible isn't it, to just drop everything and start a new life somewhere new? It isn't practical.
For Millennials, there is this constant internal struggle between trying to exercise pragmatism while, at the same time, not letting life pass you by.
One such Millennial who found her way out of the mundane is writer and self-confessed Millennial, Emily Clark who, in a moment of spontaneity, quit her job and booked a plane ticket to Italy.
JL: Hey Emily, I'm dying to know, why did you do it?
EC: Hey James, I suppose I'd best start by outlining the situation I found myself in before I made this decision.
I was back in my hometown after leaving University three years ago, living there, working there, socialising there; I felt like my life had stalled.
That all changed when I went on a solo trip to Italy last year. I fell in love with a city in the Northern part of the country called Bologna. It was as if I had suddenly found a place where I belonged, a place where there was colour and life, where I was truly happy.
A visit with my Mother in March resulted in me discovering a language school in the centre and I made up my mind there and then.
Within a week of returning to my hometown I had quit my job, told my partner the news that I was leaving and booked my flight.
For two and a half months I would be living and learning in Bologna. It was such a liberating feeling.
The older generation may class this decision as "juvenile" or just plain ridiculous, but I don't think they realise how our generation feels.
We now have access to more media than ever before; we've had the opportunity to expand our minds and see the world as one of almost limitless possibility.
Then we look at our own lives and wonder where we went wrong.
JL: Yes, I know, that is a horrible feeling, but do you ever worry how prospective employers will view this "juvenile" decision ?
EC: It did cross my mind that this may not look great on my CV! But the truth is that I knew I was going with three years of good experience under my belt and that I was going to learn a new language. I wasn't just going to drink wine in the sun and party until dawn (although that has, admittedly, happened a few times).
I believe that an additional language, however basic, will always look favorable on any CV, but it is more than that.
Here, I've had to manage my money, network with a variety of people from different generations, nationalities and backgrounds and quickly innovate in certain situations where I needed to make myself understood (Italian is not a quick language to learn).
During my time here I've met numerous people, one of whom was the Head of HR for a well-known oil giant. After a brief conversation about my experience here she was thrilled, commenting that it's the candidates who are prepared to take calculated risks and manage themselves independently who stand out in the interview process.
In the current market, when employers are looking for new talent, they don't just seek a good degree and work experience, something that nearly everybody in my generation has nowadays, they are looking for that spark; that special something that lights up the interview room and dazzles the directors.
I believe this ability comes from acquiring confidence and having a better understanding of yourself, something which can only be truly acquired through LIFE experience, not work experience.
I couldn't help but agree with what Emily was saying; it's all very well and good having the flawless CV but if you can't back it up with personality you may find yourself constantly on the back-foot when it comes to interviews.
However, one thing I think that is clear beyond anything else is this desire of Millenials to find a job that helps them find themselves, a role that challenges them, but also gives them the freedom to find a solution.
Only then will they stop looking elsewhere.

As Derek Chauvin's trial begins, a crucial part has already ended
Justice for George Floyd rests with a diverse jury
Up Next From Culture

By Jesse Washington @jessewashington
As the murder trial of Derek Chauvin begins Monday in Minneapolis, a pivotal chapter of the proceeding is already finished: the selection of a surprisingly diverse 14-person jury that includes people who recognize the racial issues at the heart of this infamous case of police brutality.
Juries that are mostly or entirely white have long been a problem in the criminal justice system, especially in the rare cases when police officers go to trial. So a jury that is more representative of America can raise hopes for an even more unusual result: a conviction.
The panel consists of two African Americans, two Black immigrants apparently from Africa, two people who are mixed-race, and eight white people. There are nine women and five men. A 15th juror, a white man who was selected in case someone dropped out over the weekend, was to be dismissed before opening arguments began. (Two previously selected jurors, a Hispanic man and a white man, were dismissed after acknowledging that the city's $27 million settlement with Floyd's family would influence their judgment.)
In this screen grab from video, Judge Peter Cahill presides over jury selection on March 23 in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin at the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis.
Court TV via AP, Pool
Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter and third-degree murder for kneeling on Floyd's neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds. He faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted of the most serious charge. The trial is being livestreamed by Court TV. Much of the questioning of potential jurors over the past three weeks was devoted to things that happened after Floyd was killed on May 25, such as the worldwide uprising against racial injustice and the riots that devastated Minneapolis and other cities. The defense wants the trial to focus on Floyd and not the history of systemic racism in the policing of Black people. The prosecution wants jurors who understand how that history contributed to Chauvin's actions. Each side tried to use the jury selection process to create a panel sympathetic to its goals.
Most of the jurors seated by prosecutor Steve Schleicher expressed a favorable opinion of the concept of Black Lives Matter, recognized the existence of racial bias in the criminal justice system, or said they were willing to question decisions made by police. Schleicher also eliminated many candidates who expressed a preference for the term "all lives matter" (one did make it onto the jury) or who were reluctant to criticize the police. Each side was able to "strike," meaning remove, a certain number of potential jurors. For instance, Schleicher struck a woman who said she didn't think the Floyd protests accomplished anything, but protests over the pandemic shutdowns were useful.
By contrast, Chauvin's lawyer, Eric Nelson, asked such questions as, "If this case is not about race at all, for example, if it's about police practice and cause of death, is your opinion going to be impacted?" An autopsy found methamphetamines and fentanyl in Floyd's system, plus evidence of heart disease and hypertension, and the defense is expected to argue that those drugs were responsible for Floyd's death – not Chauvin's knee on his neck.
In this image taken from video, prosecutor Steve Schleicher speaks on March 23 during the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is charged in the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd.
This is how our justice system works. Despite America's ideal of a "fair and impartial jury," the system all but demands each side try to obtain as biased a jury as possible.
"No juror is unbiased," especially when it comes to race, said Brian T. Dunn, who represents victims of police violence as managing partner for the Cochran Firm in Los Angeles, founded by Johnnie Cochran. "People in this country are inherently biased culturally, because this is the bacteriological petri dish that America decided it was going to be. The question is, will the jury get back there and do the right thing."
When Dunn questions prospective jurors, he reads their body language for signs that they might rule in his favor: when they nod, or how they act when they think they are not being watched. He has assistants observe them while sitting in the courtroom acting like members of the public. He also employs jury consultants who dig into their public records and social media posts. Dunn said attorneys on both sides of the Chauvin trial almost certainly have these resources.
Dunn noted that it was strange in the Chauvin trial to see prosecutors actually trying to get Black people on the jury. In his experience, prosecutors are usually trying to lock up Black people, and want the jury to be as white as possible. "I've had to learn how to try cases in front of all-white or majority-white juries, because that's what I'm left with," Dunn said. Mary Noffsinger, a forensic neuropsychologist and jury consultant for Courtroom Sciences Inc. who is not involved in this trial, said she relies on extensive juror investigations that reveal as much as possible about their experiences. She creates psychological profiles of jurors and advises lawyers to ask them open-ended questions that provide a deeper look than what jurors write on questionnaires. "Jurors make decisions that are guided by attitudes and beliefs, and, to a lesser extent, personality characteristics," she said.

Some of our strongest attitudes and beliefs revolve around race. During Chauvin's jury selection, "both sides are really honing in on racial issues," Michael Ayala, an attorney and Court TV commentator, said in an interview. "By finding out where people stand on issues like Black Lives Matter, like blue lives matter, how they feel emotionally about the video of Floyd's death, they're able to very easily and clearly discern how that person might sit on the overall spectrum of whether Derek Chauvin should be found guilty of this crime."
Most of the time, all this lawyercraft happens out of sight and mind of the wider public. But after Floyd's killing inspired the largest movement for racial justice in American history, we can see how the system, intentionally or otherwise, often produces discriminatory outcomes and seldom convicts police of abusing their power.
To be clear, there were no overt signs of racial bias during the jury selection, which is often described as where trials are won or lost. Jurors who were obviously biased or said they could not be impartial were removed "for cause" by the judge. The jury is more diverse than Hennepin County itself, which is 68% white, 14% Black, 8% Asian and 7% Hispanic.
Rather, there are signs that the system is working as usual – technically legal, but sometimes troubling in practice.
Two jurors identified by the court as Black spoke with African accents, and their responses were similar to views of Black immigrants who do not share the history and culture of African Americans. One of them, Juror No. 79, was asked by the prosecution what he would instruct his young son to do if pulled over by police while driving. "Answer their questions," the man said. He seemed puzzled by further questions about the precautions that have been a generational bedrock of Black survival in America.
Trial of officer accused of murdering George Floyd brings a familiar sense of fear
Why did Black Lives Matter protests attract unprecedented white support?
Many college coaches are out of their comfort zone in statements on George Floyd
George Floyd's mother was not there, but he used her as a sacred invocation
Minneapolis activists have decried the defense striking a Black juror who said that "you see a lot of Black people get killed and no one's held accountable for it and you wonder why or what was the decisions, and so with this [trial], maybe I'll be in the room to know why." He also described police riding through his neighborhood after a shooting blasting the song "Another One Bites the Dust." The man said he could set aside his views and rule based only on the facts presented in court, but Chauvin's lawyer removed him – a perfectly legal maneuver that shows how our allegedly colorblind jury system can be used to exclude a common Black perspective.
The juror said he did not know anyone who had problems with alcohol or drugs. What did he think of the idea that if you struggle with police and something bad happens, the person being arrested is to blame? "Cooperation is good," he replied.
In its entirety, watching the selection process felt like riding a seesaw. For every moment of comfort caused by Juror No. 2, a white chemist who said he believes the criminal justice system is biased against minorities, there was worry based on No. 55, a white executive assistant in her 50s who said she had an unfavorable view of Black Lives Matter because "they were taking it too far."
There is much we don't know about the jury. The public is barred from the courtroom under COVID-19 protocols, and the jurors' faces were not shown on camera to protect their identities. It is unclear which two will be designated as alternates and removed once deliberations begin. Some may have not answered questions honestly, or have hidden agendas. Lawyers are often surprised by the decisions of jurors they thought would rule in their favor.
Two of the 14 jurors are African American, although it is not certain that they will be part of the final panel of 12 that will vote on the case. No. 52, a man in his 30s who works in banking, said he had a very favorable view of Black Lives Matter – not as an organization, but "I just think of it as a statement." No. 91, a retired grandmother in her 60s, said she stopped watching the video of Floyd's death because "it just wasn't something that I needed to see."
Juror No. 89, a white nurse in her 50s, wrote in her questionnaire that she didn't believe Floyd deserved to die, but said that Floyd was not completely innocent, either. "We all use our life experiences to make judgments," No. 89 said.
In the abstract, our justice system is a noble concept, symbolized by the ancient image of a blindfolded Justice balancing a scale in her hand. It posits a group of high-minded citizens setting aside preconceived notions to render judgment on their peers.
In reality, as the Chauvin jury selection shows, justice can be a much more subjective and fragile thing.

Astana's Hirt still 5th in after Tour de Suisse Stage 8
NUR-SULTAN. KAZINFORM - It was a day of the individual time trial of 19.2 km in Ulrichen at the Tour de Suisse. The Astana rider Jan Hirt did a very good race, finishing just 1 minute 14 seconds behind the stage winner Yves Lampaert, Kazinform has learnt from the club's press service.
This result allowed Hirt to conserve his 5th place in the overall standings, being just in 9 seconds far from the current third place.
"I did my best today and I can be happy with my performance. It was a challenging distance, but together with our trainer we did a good plan for this stage and I tried to follow it in the best possible way. So, it was a good day for me, and now it's all about tomorrow's super difficult day with three very hard climbs. I hope to recover today as well as possible to be ready for the final day," said Jan Hirt.
The Colombian Egan Bernal leads the race with only one stage to go, having 22 seconds on Rohan Dennis, second in the GC.
The final queen stage will be held tomorrow: the peloton will face a short distance of 101.5 km with 3 super hard passes, all over 2000 meters above the sea level.

Taqueria/Tequileria Takes Thirds; El Centro Georgetown Set To Open Next Week
El Centro D.F. Georgetown
With the now shuttered Third Edition commanding a prominent chunk of Wisconsin Avenue for more than 40 years, it's safe to say that Richard Sandoval had some rather big shoes to fill when it was first revealed that he would be taking over the well-liked restaurant and bar's prime Georgetown location.
Washingtonians alike, however, quietly breathed a sigh of relief when the chef and restaurateur extraordinaire announced that he would replace 'Thirds' with a second location of his widely popular El Centro D.F. taqueria and tequileria.
The city's foodies and cocktail hounds are already quite familiar with the original El Centro imprint, which is one of the most popular destinations on 14th Street's explosive restaurant scene.
And everything that made El Centro so widely successful at its first home has smartly been duplicated at its sister restaurant, which is scheduled to open next week. Existing favorites, such as Grilled Skirt Steak Huaraches and Jalisco Shrimp & Crab will all be on the new menu, as will the 14th Street hotspot's famed weekend bottomless brunch (Saturdays and Sundays from 10AM to 4PM).
Chef Juan Romero, an Arlington native and Sandoval veteran, has also prepared a series of new dishes -- unique to the Georgetown restaurant -- such as Vuelve a la Vida Tacos with octopus, shrimp, chorizo, and tomatillo salsa and Roasted Octopus with rojas, pico de gallo and chile de arbol sesame salsa.
Also newly introduced for the second El Centro location will be a series of house-infused tequilas, which will be offered in addition to a selection of more than 270 other types of tequila and mezcal, handcrafted margaritas, and classic Latin cocktails.
Spread over two floors, El Centro Georgetown can accommodate 59 guests on its first level, 99 guests on its second, and 55 guests on its secluded, outdoor patio. Architect Brie Husted drew inspiration from traditional Mexican towns in designing the space, with reclaimed wood, vaulted ceilings, custom murals, and used metal abounding.
El Centro D.F. Georgetown will be open for lunch, Monday through Friday, from 10AM to 4PM. Dinner service will be offered daily from 4PM to 11PM. And happy hour specials will be available nightly from 5PM to 7PM and feature $4 libations.
For late night fun, patrons will enjoy a special Mexican street food menu from 11PM to 2AM (3AM on Fridays and Saturdays) with every item priced at $6. Reservations are encouraged and can be made by calling (202) 333-4100 or visiting the El Centro website.

These people make Unsung Stories possible. Please be upstanding.
If he hadn't set up Unsung Stories, George would be spending a lot more time writing genre fiction. And probably planning how to start publishing genre fiction. He has an incredible, patient wife, and an impressive capacity for eating gelato.
Freelance editor, writer and publisher, Dan joined the team in 2017 and has been directly responsible for some fantastic drops in George's blood pressure. Made of 85% enthusiasm, 8% dad, 12% red biros and 15% George's inability to count things properly.
Olivia copy-edited Déjà Vu for us and made it look easy. In such a tightly-plotted book, with time travel mechanics, extra languages and artificial personalities this was no mean feat. She was also a pleasure to work with, introduced us to Fallen London and even had time to write an excellent summary of the editing profession.
Anne copy-edited The Beauty and is some kind of grammar ninja. Seriously, she's @ninja_CE. The first email of feedback I had from her had me scrabbling for reference books, slapping my forehead in disbelief and learning all sorts of exciting things. She is full of The Knowledge about genre publishing and the industry in the US. She also struck me as A Wise Person, and that's not something I say very often.
Amongst other things, Rob copy-edited Dark Star, which was a complex technical exercise for all of us, including the author. Working on epic verse, combined with science fantasy and crime fiction, meant balancing a lot of influences. It also meant working to form; no easy fixes when you're counting syllables!
Any editor worth their salt will tell you a book can always be improved. There's always scope to tighten things up, give it a little extra polish, however good it looks. Dion was that editor and the book was You Will Grow Into Them.
Pseudotooth is a complicated book, in terms of the formatting. Italics, poetry, quotes and the like everywhere. That stuff is never as simple as you think it is. Not that you'll notice at all, of course, because it was licked into shape by the most capable digits of Momus Editorial.
We're sticklers for detail here, the kind of people who see the curly quote that should have been straight. The good news is, so is Katherine.

Bermuda Captive Insurance Fred Reiss Award Will Go to Brian Hall
Bermuda captive insurance pioneer Brian R. Hall, OBE, a former director and president of Johnson & Higgins credited with taking the island's captive insurance industry to global relevance, will receive the third Fred Reiss Lifetime Achievement Award at the upcoming Bermuda Captive Conference (June 11–13).
A graduate of Saltus Grammar School, Mr. Hall served as chair of Bermuda College and the Insurance Advisory Committee, as well as founder and trustee advisor of the Bermuda Foundation for Insurance Studies (BFIS). He was also founding president of the Bermuda Insurance Management Association (BIMA) during a notable insurance career spanning over 4 decades on the island, including 5 years spent working directly with Mr. Reiss.
"Brian is a true pioneer in the island's captive insurance industry," said Mike Parrish, Bermuda Captive Conference chair. "His contributions to both insurance and educational organizations in Bermuda have demonstrated his long and sincere commitment to the island and generations of Bermudians who followed him into the industry. Much of the success we enjoy as a sector today can be attributed to Bermuda-based entities he led and inspired."
The award, launched in 2016, is named in honor of Mr. Reiss, a pioneering Ohio engineer who conceived the idea of "self-insurance," by which corporations could manage their own risks through a dedicated subsidiary. Starting with American steel companies, Mr. Reiss pursued the concept in Bermuda, launching the first captive in 1962. The sector recorded exponential growth over the next 5 decades, distinguishing Bermuda as the world captive leader and fueling the foundation of the island's entire insurance industry.
The conference launched the award to celebrate the collaboration of outstanding captive insurance industry professionals. Jill Husbands, former chairman and current managing director of Marsh IAS Management Services (Bermuda), was selected the inaugural winner, while Michael Burns, a leading Bermudian corporate lawyer, was the 2017 awardee. This year's award will be presented to Mr. Hall at the official opening of the conference on the morning of Tuesday, June 12, at the Fairmont Southampton.
"I am overwhelmed to be receiving this award and am greatly honored to be recognized after so many years of service," said Mr. Hall, who now lives in Virginia and will travel to Bermuda for the conference. "I am incredibly proud of my fellow Bermudians in their success in bringing Bermuda to the forefront of the captive insurance world. I knew Fred Reiss many years ago, and I am thankful for the opportunity to have started in this business with him."
Born in 1941 in Denton, a small town near Manchester, UK, Mr. Hall moved to Bermuda in 1958 to join his parents and got a job at age 17 working for a nascent American International Group. In 1964, he was hired by Mr. Reiss as a captive account manager for International Risk Management, Mr. Reiss's company, where Mr. Hall spent 5 years. He then launched his own firm, Inter-Ocean Management, that began running captive operations for global insurance brokerage Johnson & Higgins, for which Mr. Hall was named CEO and president in 1979, and later chair. Johnson & Higgins Global Captive Management grew to 17 offices and 400 employees worldwide before merging with Marsh & McLennan in 1997.
Importantly, Mr. Hall helped develop the industry's future through educational initiatives. Among his many roles and achievements, he founded BFIS in 1996 and became chairman emeritus of the nonprofit, which provides opportunities for Bermudian students to gain necessary education and training to enter the insurance sector. He led the Board of Governors as chair of Bermuda College and was nominated by Bermuda's government to receive an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) by the Queen in 1998 for his services to the insurance industry.
Mr. Hall served as a board member for Renaissance Reinsurance and helped create BIMA, today the captive sector's primary industry organization, an association of professional insurance managers and captive service providers that works to protect the interests of members and clients. In 2001, he received a lifetime achievement award from the Bermuda Insurance Institute.
Today, he remains professionally connected to Bermuda through partnership with Oyster Consulting Bermuda, a company that delivers compliance and other services to financial industry clients.

10 Most Popular McDonald's Menu Items of All Time
by William Harris
Chicken McNuggets and Chicken Select Strips
Fish McNuggets? Japanese McDonald's tried them out in 2004 amid consumer concerns about meat products and after the bird flu scare.
AP Photo/Chiaki Tsukumo
In the late 1970s, McDonald's was known as the King of Burgers. But a key to survival, the company knew, was getting a successful chicken product on its menu. To help lead the charge, Ray Kroc hired Rene Arend in 1976, a European chef who refined his culinary magic at the Whitehall Hotel in Chicago. One of Arend's early projects was "onion nuggets" -- chunks of battered, deep-fried onions. They flopped completely, but their underlying concept inspired the company to create a similar product made out of chicken.
Years of experiments, involving McDonald's product development staff and outside suppliers produced Chicken McNuggets, which were tested in 1980 and fully introduced nationally by 1983. By 1986, the bite-sized chicken pieces accounted for 7.5 percent of McDonald's domestic sales, making McNuggets one of the most successful product launches in fast-food history [source: Love].
Today, McDonald's continues to evolve its chicken-based menu. Chicken McNuggets, now made with all white-meat chicken breast, sit next to Chicken Select Strips, which made their first appearance in 2002. By 2003, McDonald's was responsible for 79 percent of the growth in the chicken strips category within the fast-food sector. By 2004, the company had served more than 65 million pounds (29 million kilograms) of Chicken Selects to customers nationwide [source: QSR Magazine]. Not too shabby for a restaurant famous for its burgers and its -- apples?

Simmons' mad matchday dash to make Wallabies v South Africa kick-off
By Tom Decent
Rob Simmons can laugh now about his mad match day rush to Brisbane to line up for the Wallabies against the Springboks after new father Adam Coleman's late scratching on Saturday.
Coleman and partner Tonia welcomed a baby girl into the world on Sunday in Melbourne and Wallabies teammates found out the good news on their way to a fan day at Bond University the day after their 23-18 victory over South Africa.

Around midday on Saturday, Simmons was packing his bags at his Double Bay home for an NRC game with the Sydney Rays at Concord Oval that afternoon.
His phone rang. It was Michael Cheika.
"I need ya," the Wallabies coach barked down the phone.
"I'll be there straight away," Simmons replied.
Coleman, who was named to start alongside Rory Arnold in the second row, needed to be with his partner in Melbourne. The only problem was how to get Simmons to Brisbane in time for the 8pm kick-off.
At his post-match press conference, Cheika shed light on what transpired that afternoon.
"I feel so guilty because I made Sydney guys make him play [in the National Rugby Championship]," Cheika said. "I rang [Sydney Rays] coach Chris Whitaker at 12:30pm and said: 'mate, I need this bloke back on the plane'. He didn't have another player. I'm not sure if they played with 22 or not, so I apologise."
Instead of grabbing a lift to Concord Oval for the 3pm kick-off, Simmons made a quick dash to the airport.
"I jumped on a plane but the airport was hectic," Simmons said.
Due to poor weather, flights were delayed to Brisbane and Simmons was forced to make a detour to the Gold Coast instead. Simmons' wife, Lucy, picked him up from the airport and drove the 75-minute journey straight to Suncorp Stadium. They arrived at 6pm, some 40 minutes before his teammates.
A quick change of clothes and Simmons was good as Wallaby gold.
"I didn't wake up yesterday thinking I'd be back in Brizzy playing a Test match so quickly," Simmons said on Sunday. "It's great news, he's had a baby little girl. We found out on the way down and don't know too much yet. Our wishes are with his family."
Simmons played 38 minutes and made four carries for three metres to go with three tackles.
During a pre-season match for the Waratahs in February, there was the great tale of Simmons falling asleep in the Brookvale Oval sheds while getting stitches on one hour's sleep following the birth of his first child.
At least Simmons had a normal night of sleep before helping the Wallabies to a confidence-boosting victory.
"It was a gritty win and I think we knew from the start it wasn't going to be easy, so it's always good to get those wins," Simmons said. "There's always a better feeling around the group after a win. We'll try and enjoy that for a day and then reset and get back into it and prepare for the Argentinians this week."

The role of motivation in learning
HomeSchool resourcesMotivation
Motivation, as the name suggests, is what 'moves' us. It is the reason we do anything at all. For teachers, a lack of motivation has long been one of the most frustrating obstacles to student learning. While the concept of motivation may intuitively seem fairly simple, a rich research literature has developed as researchers have defined this concept in a number of ways. Social scientists and psychologists have approached the problem of motivation from a variety of different angles, and education researchers have adapted many of these ideas into the school context. While there is a great deal of overlap between motivation theories, researchers differ in their identification of the underlying belief systems leading to motivational variation. Some theorists emphasise belief in oneself and one's competency, others prioritise goal orientation, and a third group argues that the difficulty of the task shapes individual motivation. This resource will provide an introduction to various theories of motivation, explain the importance of motivation for learning, and outline several practical strategies that teachers can use to support and promote student motivation.
Theories of motivation
Intrinsic vs. extrinsic
A common distinction made in the literature is between extrinsic and intrinsic forms of motivation. Intrinsic motivation is the act of doing an activity purely for the joy of doing it, and it is frankly very rare in school and work contexts. Extrinsic motivation, or the use of external rewards or punishments to encourage student work completion, is generally painted in education as the enemy of good instruction. This is true to a certain extent because, as learning is comparable to exploration, the use of rewards or punishments tends to outline a boundary around how much a student should explore.
However, there are actually many different forms of extrinsic motivation, and not all are equally likely to lead students down a path of apathy and dissociation from the joy of learning. For example, one extrinsically motivated student may work hard in school because they fear failure and the anger of their parents. Another may study hard because they see the value of the content in helping them work toward their dream of becoming a doctor. Neither student in these examples is intrinsically motivated – their goals lie outside the simple enjoyment of the activity. However, the second student is likely to be more independent and self-guided in their learning because they recognise the value of these extrinsic rewards. This form of motivation is much more sustainable because it does not require constant threats or prizes from teachers or parents. There is also some research to suggest that extrinsic motivation can lead to intrinsic motivation, in the sense that students may embark on a task for reasons associated with extrinsic motivation but become intrinsically motivated through the process of engaging with the task and learning to value it.
Achievement Goal Theory
Achievement Goal Theory argues that all motivation can be linked to one's orientation towards a goal. According to this theory, there are two forms of goal: performance goals and mastery goals. Performance goals are based on satisfying one's ego by appearing smart in front of one's peers or on achieving a sense of superiority. Mastery goals are, as they sound, motivated by a desire to fully master a skill or concept. Students with mastery goals will finish a project when they are proud of it rather than when it meets the minimum requirements. Even after they turn in the assignment to be assessed, they may continue to reflect on it and make refinements. Mastery goals largely align with intrinsic motivation in the former theory.
Some researchers in education have broken the concept of Achievement Goal Theory down further, borrowing the idea of approach and avoidant behavior from psychology. As the name suggests, students with approach performance goals actively seek to outperform others while those with avoidant performance goals actively work to avoid being seen as inferior. While less studied, approach and avoidant orientations also apply to mastery goals as well.
Expectancy Value Theory
Goal orientation has a strong impact on persistence through a rigorous task, as described in Expectancy Value Theory. According to this model, expectations and values influence performance and task choice directly. There are two main components to this theory. First, a student's effort, the level of challenge they choose and ultimately their performance will follow their expectation of success or failure. Second, the extent to which a student values learning a skill or concept directly impacts their effort and mastery of that skill or concept. Expectations and values themselves are influenced by beliefs about one's competence (otherwise known as self-efficacy) and by beliefs about the difficulty of the task. If the student remembers doing well or feeling satisfied when completing a similar task in the past, they are more likely to push themselves to work hard on the current task. However, if the student remembers that the activity was too difficult to be completed and they became frustrated, or not difficult enough and they became bored, they are unlikely to engage with it.
These beliefs, goals, and memories are also affected by a student's beliefs of other people's attitudes towards and expectations for them, and by their own interpretations of their previous achievement outcomes. Children's perceptions and interpretations are influenced by a broad array of social and cultural factors, and especially by parents and teachers.
Flow Theory
Flow is described as a psychological state in which an individual is purely intrinsically motivated and in which their sense of time is muted. Students experience flow during mastery-oriented tasks. This state is accompanied by a lessening of self-conscious thoughts and feelings. While there are many different psychological states that a student can experience throughout the learning process, such as wonder, confusion, worry and helplessness, flow is the most effective state of learning. Not only do students learn a great deal while experiencing flow because their learning is internally motivated, but they will continue without constant teacher prodding. These students will continue the learning process beyond the minimum requirements, or even outside the confines of the school context. Flow is said to occur within 'Goldilocks' conditions: tasks that are too difficult for the student will engender frustration and helplessness, while tasks that are too easy will cause the student to feel bored, and both these states of mind lead to disengagement from the activity. When possible, differentiation for individual student ability allows students to practise skills and concepts that are just withintheir current ability.
Nature versus nurture
Each of these theories points to the malleability of motivation. While natural genetic variability will lead to differences in a student's innate drive, every student has the desire to reach their goals. Our task as teachers, then, is to apply what we know from social science research to create environments, instruction, and activities to cultivate student motivation.
Some theorists classify motivation as a stable trait of the person, while others consider it to be more task specific. Individual-specific motivation describes the orientation with which all activities are approached, while task-specific motivation is dependent upon the appeal of the activity. Both forms can be improved through positive reinforcement, just-difficult-enough tasks, mastery-oriented goals and plenty of opportunities for success, as research indicates that even small initial successes are motivating for students. Individual-specific motivation is not the same as genetic predisposition to be a motivated person. Any individual can garner a more motivated outlook through specific supports and strategies. This resource focuses on motivation as an individual-specific trait because the research for this argument is fairly compelling, and because efforts to improve motivation of a person as a whole rather than towards one activity has greater potential impact.
Why is motivation important?
First and foremost, motivation is an orientation towards learning. Therefore, it impacts how likely a student is either to give up or push forward, and how thoughtful their reflection on their learning will be. The deeper the motivation for pursuing an activity, the more likely that the student will not accept easy answers to complex questions. In short, intrinsic motivation fosters strong and flexible critical thinking skills. On the other hand, amotivation and purely extrinsic motivation lead to low interest and academic persistence.
Motivation fosters creativity and critical thinking
Students who are intrinsically motivated treat learning like play. As a result, they are more likely to flip the learning on its head to see it from a new angle. Motivated students are not more intelligent than unmotivated students, but their need to find out the answer to a question or to master a concept pushes their thinking. Intrinsically motivated students will think about questions far beyond the confines of the classroom, because the presence of the teacher or the fear of a low grade are not the underlying drivers for their thinking. Therefore, motivated students, by virtue of thinking longer and harder and enjoying the challenge of being confused, will ask deeper, more thought-provoking questions. Motivated students are more able to adapt learned content to new situations because they tend to reflect on underlying causes or frameworks.
Motivation cultivates resilience and self-assurance
When a student is truly engrossed in a task, they have less cognitive and emotional energy to focus on social image. Individuals who engage in intrinsically motivating activities report that their self-consciousness and other stressors tends to fade for the period of the activity. Motivated students are also more able to emotionally 'bounce back' from a low grade on a test or a harsh criticism from a teacher or peer. Because intrinsically motivated students are not driven by fear of failure or criticism, they are less likely to disengage in such circumstances. With that said, every student does feel the demotivating effects of negative feedback, even if driven students experience them to a lesser extent.
Motivation and agency
Agency may be defined briefly as a sense of purpose and autonomy in striving after one's goals.Agency and motivation are inextricably linked concepts because, as a student becomes more driven to reach a goal, they consequently develop a stronger sense of purpose in directing their energy towards that goal. When it comes to educational attainment, highly motivated students find a way to forge their own path and tend to be skeptical of the limitations set by others. As professionals, motivated individuals also tend to be skeptical of established ideas or rules of the field, and instead constantly challenge themselves by experimenting with new ideas.
How do we cultivate motivation?
While the above theories may differ in emphasis, each can support student motivation through the following practical applications.
Practise growth mindset
Students who feel like they will improve through hard work will exert more effort than those who believe that their success is based on intelligence. Teaching students to use the phrase 'yet' when explaining their gaps in knowledge helps to move them away from this deterministic orientation. For example, if a student says 'I can't do that', suggest that 'you can't do that, YET'. Making a conscious effort to provide wait time also removes the pressure of needing to be the first to find the answer. When students come to realise that their teacher will always wait 5 seconds or so before calling on a student rather than always calling on the first hand up, they will be more likely to engage with the struggle of thinking through the problem. Finally, by keeping the emphasis on progress rather than scores, growth mindset pushes students to continually challenge themselves and reflect on their improvement. Even small improvements and successes can help to spur a student's motivation.
Encourage self-efficacy
Students who are paralysed by low academic self-confidence will struggle to drive their own motivation. A sense of competence is enhanced through optimal challenges. These are also referred to as 'just right' challenges because they are difficult enough to be just above the student's current ability to work independently but easy enough for the student to follow along with the teacher. As the student practises this new skill or concept, the teacher slowly removes their structured support, making it more and more difficult. This slow removal of support, paired with positive reinforcement and opportunities to receive support along the way, keeps students at this level of optimal challenge as they improve. Consistent small successes will further enhance motivation.
In addition, most of us can relate to the value of being reassured of one's own competence to learn a skill or concept. Students often base their view of their own competence on how they believe their teacher views them. Therefore, teacher observations of student effort encourage a sense of competence, as well as pointing out how far the student has come in their learning. When students have a firm sense that they are regarded as competent, they will be more likely to treat learning like play, making mistakes and taking risks. Threats and unyielding deadlines tend to diminish this orientation towards play-like learning.
Normalise the struggle
Students may give up because they falsely believe that, if they were going to succeed, it would be easy. Teachers can disentangle this misconception by providing examples of failures that well-known individuals overcame along their journey towards success. Emphasising the value of asking for help may catch students who are falling behind and becoming disengaged from the material. Finally, modeling the struggle through your own words and actions can be a powerful example to students. One phrase that may be useful when students seem to lose motivation for a difficult task is: 'This is new, this is hard, and if you get it wrong the first time then the challenge is simply to figure out why and to carry on.'
Minimise competition when there is one right answer
A pressure to compete tends to diminish motivation unless the two students are and perceive themselves to be equally competent: if a student at the top of the class is pitted against a student who is struggling, the latter student may feel that there is no reason to try. This is not to say that class or school-wide competitions should be avoided. When broader competitions are more open-ended, students can creatively self-guide their projects, and will feel a stronger sense of intrinsic motivation.
Develop optimally challenging, mastery-oriented goals
Differentiating tasks so they are appropriately challenging allows students to maintain optimal engagement. When students are working just within their current ability, they are drawn in by their curiosity to find the answer and spurred by the belief that they can find the answer. Teachers can also encourage students to set authentic learning goals rather than performance goals. Students can practise using mastery-orientation language when writing weekly, monthly, or long-term goals. Goals that begin 'to learn…', 'to understand…', or 'to master… [a particular skill]' support this orientation, while goals such as 'to get… grade', 'to earn more points than last quiz' or 'to meet my parent's goal of…' all express performance goals. Teachers can reinforce mastery-orientation by modeling it in their own goal setting.
Create quiet space
Despite the popular idea that fidgets or music support student focus, brains generally need quiet or ambient noise to stay engaged. Higher level brain functions such as creativity and critical thinking are inextricably linked to a state of flow, so students who are constantly interrupted will never be able to reach this level of highly motivated thinking. Therefore, independent and collaborative work should occur at separate times, or in separate spaces if they must occur simultaneously.
Avoid tangible rewards
Some learning is simply not particularly interesting, and no amount of differentiation can make every learning experience enjoyable for every student all of the time. External rewards such as long-term career goals and teacher approval are realistic external rewards that teachers can use. However, when deciding whether to use external motivation, it is important to keep certain principles in mind. Tangible rewards are often counterproductive, and the more external the reward, the less inherently valuable the student will find the activity. Even when students complete an activity for the inherent value they see in it, and are given an unexpected reward, they later regard their motivation for doing the activity as more extrinsically motivated than students who were not given a reward.
Acknowledge but don't dwell on potential hurdles
Students who believe that they can succeed are more likely to reach their goals. However, it is important that students consider what may go wrong in order to avoid being emotionally devastated when they encounter setbacks. In fact, letting students know that they will encounter setbacks, and that they are entirely normal, takes away some of their sting in the moment. In addition, students who consider hurdles before taking on a challenge are able to make a plan regarding how to continue moving forward. It is deeply valuable to emphasise to students that obstacles will always come up, but that what is important is to learn from these obstacles rather than to dwell on them.
Measuring motivation
Periodically evaluating students' social-emotional learning serves the dual purpose of informing the teacher of their students' progress and wellbeing, and prompting students to practise self-awareness. While formal school-wide social-emotional assessments are valuable for collecting comprehensive data, these measures are time-consuming and cannot practically be implemented more than once or twice each year. For these formal assessments, one reliable measure with strong evidence of validity is the Panorama Social-Emotional Learning Survey. However, on a fortnightly or monthly basis, teachers can informally gauge student motivation by asking the following questions:
How often do you do the following? Write a 1-10 next to each response (1=Not Often; 10=Very Often)
Choose to work above and beyond what is expected _____
Stick with a task until it is completed _____
Attempt to solve problems that others have difficulty with _____
Hurry through assignments _____
Ask questions to better understand difficult concepts _____
Try to avoid competitive situations _____
Put forth minimum effort _____
Do something over again just to get it right _____
These questions are suitable for verbal or written check-ins. When scoring written check-ins, items 4, 6, and 7 should be reverse-scored.
It is also prudent to consider not only the level of motivation a student has but their form of motivation. Is the student more intrinsically or extrinsically motivated, or somewhere in between? With this knowledge, we can use the above strategies to nudge the students towards more internal motivation by developing their sense of competency and control over their learning, as well as doing what we can to draw students in with interesting content.
