Brian Malarkey breaks all the rules with ultra-glamorous Animae

The former 'Top Chef' celebrity, whose Herb & Wood proved he was a kitchen star, ramps up the glamour and innovation with his new Asian-inspired restaurant
By Michele Parente
Is Brian Malarkey going soft on us?
He is when it comes to the plush carpeting, olive green velvet booths and sofas, chairs and ceiling-height drapes that have turned his latest restaurant venture, Animae, into a spectacularly sumptuous culinary cocoon.
The sumptuous dining room at Animae.
The lavish fabric is more than a cinematic, Art Deco feast for the eyes and the touch. It's intended to muffle noise. It's designed to give the just-debuted $5.5 million downtown San Diego stunner a romantic feel. It's meant to signal — quietly, of course — that Malarkey is breaking all the rules with what he's calling a "coal-fired, Asian-inspired" restaurant that's "#Animazing."
"It's unlike anything we've ever done," he said of the Malarkey Puffer Collective of eateries he has opened with partner, and design maven, Chris Puffer, including the wildly popular and critically acclaimed Herb & Wood in Little Italy.
"It's exciting that it has gone in an entirely different direction than anyone else has gone," Malarkey said, becoming increasingly animated during a pre-opening tour of the curved, 7,600-square-foot space on the ground floor of the 41-story ultra-luxury Pacific Gate San Diego condo tower in the Embarcadero.
"It's Puffer's ooh-la-la moment. He's really spreading his cape with this one," he said, as Puffer dramatically wrapped himself in an opulent curtain. The longtime partners play off each other like a vaudeville act — waving arms and accents, completing sentences for each other.
"There's not an Edison bulb in sight! Look, no open kitchen! And carpeting — who does that?" Malarkey called out. "Who? Nobody does that," Puffer clapped back. "Has anyone done that?" Malarkey continued, his arms now flapping, "when was the last time you went somewhere and could have a conversation?" Puffer jumped in again: "We're tired of going into these dark, masculine men's clubs. We wanted it to be feminine, sexy."
Parmesan cheese (!) is sprinkled on to black garlic udon noodles with lobster, chili, lobster bisque, and choy sum, a rule-breaking dish from Animae executive chef Joe Magnanelli.

If the 2016 opening of Herb & Wood marked Malarkey's evolution from overexposed celebrity chef to serious chef and restaurateur, Animae is a vivid statement that while this master of reinvention still loves his shtick, he's now an innovative trend-setter to watch.
As more restaurants opt for a cookie-cutter casual menu and aesthetic, Malarkey, Puffer and their dream team of design firm Bells & Whistles, executive chef-partner Joe Magnanelli and general manager-partner Lucien Conner take San Diego on a sophisticated journey to the bygone era of swank while offering a provocative peek into the future of melding global ingredients and techniques.
That Malarkey would be blazing new culinary territory with Animae was clear from the start when he announced hiring Magnanelli away from the Cucina empire. The respected chef and pasta perfecter said his marching orders from Malarkey were clear: He wanted bright, bold flavors — More acid! More herbs! — and he insisted that his new partner throw out all notions of what's traditional Asian.
Chefs Brian Malarkey (left) and Joe Magnanelli make up part of Animae's dream team.
"We're tearing down the rules with flavors and cuisines. It's playful, it's whimsical," Magnanelli said during a recent informal tasting of several of Animae's dishes, including black garlic udon noodles with lobster, chili, bisque and — wait, what? Fish with cheese? — Parmigiano-Reggiano grated on top.
"Brian said 'break the rules, you don't have to follow what everyone is doing or has done. You want to put Parmesan on lobster, do it!' ... He (Malarkey) is taking his playful nature to Animae's approach, he isn't taking it so seriously and that really appealed to me. I wanted to try something new, to do something completely different. It's my mid-life crisis. It was either this or a Corvette."
The Corvette would have been easier. After a career using his classic training, including a stint working with Gavin Kaysen at El Bizcocho, and a dozen years at Cucina Urbana, Magnanelli had to master the Japanese robata grill, working with coal and Asian spices, making his own udon noodles, and concocting dishes like brothless ramen.
We can not get enough of Animae's sexy-deco dining room.
While creating the menu, the Animae team traveled continuously — to L.A., Orange County, San Francisco, the Pacific Northwest, and of course, to San Diego's Convoy district. They spent months tasting street foods and crudos, ramens, bao buns and Korean fried chicken. Animae's resulting menu isn't just pan-Asian — "the words 'Asian fusion' are not allowed in the door!" Malarkey demands — but a mélange of Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian, French and Baja cuisines.
"It's a love, appreciation and celebration of Asian food," Malarkey said.
To which, Puffer, added a platitude-free assessment: "It's an interpretation of Asian food — there's not an authentic thing about it."
And to which I say, who cares? If I wanted authenticity, I'd head to Convoy. If I want my senses to be wowed, I'll go to Animae, the most dazzling and elegant restaurant to open in San Diego since Little Italy's Born & Raised.

Last week, just days after Animae's opening, two of us enjoyed the elements that make up an impeccable experience: a warm towel brought over as soon as you sit on your comfy seat at your marble table, impressively creative fare, spectacular desserts, a beautifully curated wine list (from nerdy-knowledgeable sommelier Brandon Lervold), charming service, and oh-so-welcome quiet. The 175-seat dining room was more than half full on a Tuesday night and yet you could use your inside voice to communicate. How utterly grown up. (And how intrepid of those diners to find their way to the still-unmarked Animae; the signage is coming soon.)
Though it's too early for a review, there are already dishes that stand out: ugly-delicious purple potato pain d'epi with miso butter (even if the little rolls leave sesame seeds all over your fingers); pristine steelhead trout poke; escargot butter dumplings (order them for the buttery Wagyu carpaccio alone); vibrant hiramasa aguachile with watermelon yuzu; tom yum mushrooms with silky burrata; ridiculously rich beef cheek brothless ramen; and a gorgeously complex whole fried snapper with olives, orange, fennel, lime and aji amarillo.
Animae's earthy tom yum mushrooms with creamy burrata and leeks.
And then there are executive pastry chef Adrian Mendoza's desserts. If you haven't had his croissants, cookies and pastries at Herb & Eatery or his ingenious sweet treats at Herb & Wood — black pepper and thyme gelato, be still my heart — then a) you haven't lived, and b) you're in for a bliss bomb.
If you only have room for one, order the malasadas. We swooned over these warm, light and fluffy Portuguese doughnuts, dusted with coffee sugar, filled with coconut cream and served with an intoxicating Thai curry ice cream. At a soon-to-open Animae cafe next door, expect more of Mendoza's baking brilliance.
And if you're wondering about the curious name, Animae, it's not a typo of anime. It's a conceptual construct that plays off of Puffer's fascination with Japanese anime and Anna May Wong, Hollywood's first Chinese-American actress, as well as the Latin translation of anima (soul, life, air, breath).
Or, it's just another broken rule.

Q: Populating table with data from a list asp.net Web API I've been working on a .net Web API, my method returns an "EmployeeList" containing one or several Employees. The method takes a string as an in parameter (Employee name). The method is working perfectly fine and now I would like to consume my Webservice and fill a simple table in index.cshtml with the data from the returned EmployeeList.
Employeeclass:
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Lastname { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public decimal Salary { get; set; }
public DateTime Hired_Date { get; set; }
public string Note { get; set; }

And then the EmployeeList
public EmployeeList() { Catalog = new List<Employee>(); }
[XmlElement("Catalog")]
public List<Employee> Catalog {get; set;}

Finally my method in EmployeeController, returning an EmployeeList
        public EmployeeList GetEmployeeByName(string employeeName)
        {
        EmployeeList employeeList = new EmployeeList();
        XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(employeeXmlPath);
        foreach (XElement element in doc.Descendants("employee"))
        {
            Employee e = new Employee();
            if (employeeName != null)
            {
                if (element.Element("name").Value.ToLower().Contains(employeeName.ToLower()))
                {
                    e.Name = element.Element("name").Value;
                    e.Lastname = element.Element("lastname").Value;
                    e.Title = element.Element("title").Value;
                    e.Salary = Convert.ToDecimal(element.Element("salary").Value);
                    e.Hired_Date = Convert.ToDateTime(element.Element("hired_date").Value);
                    e.Note = element.Element("note").Value;

                    employeeList.Catalog.Add(e);
                }
            }
        }
        return employeeList;
    }

Now I would like to fill a table in index.cshtml with the data from "employeeList". How can I do this? I have no clue and I've been trying for a while. I've managed to create a search button, a textfield and a table. But then?

Search for an Employee:

                <input type="text" id="employeeName" size="5" />
                <input type="button" value="Search" />

                        Name
                        Lastname
                        Title
                        Salary
                        Hired Date
                        Note

All help is extremely appreciated. Been stuck on this for a while and I'm not doing any progress. How hard can it be? I just want to show the data from the employeeList in a table!
I'm off for a couple of hours now, but I'm looking forward to your responses.
Cheers guys/girls.

YouTube saved! How bots nearly destroyed the site
'You' star confirms his character is queer and 'never will be' straight 8 Years Ago
This Twitch streamer pooped his pants during a broadcast 8 Years Ago
If it weren't for a community uproar, would Google have fixed YouTube's latest problem?
Fruzsina Eördögh— 2012-03-21 03:36 pm | Last updated 2015-12-11 02:14 pm
You hear that a lot on YouTube. But when unofficial YouTube sheriff William Hyde, better known as TheWillofDC, sounded the alarm in a news video titled "YOUTUBE LOSING CREDIBILITY AND TRAFFIC," he actually had an all-caps case.
For eight days running, YouTube's front page had been taken over by "botted" videos—videos whose views had been artificially inflated by software programs designed to trick YouTube's servers—and as far as YouTubers could tell, YouTube's owner, the mighty Google, seemed powerless to stop them.
Hyde was in a state of panic over what he and many other YouTubers thought was the beginning of the end of their beloved site.
Google did eventually stop the worst of the bots, fixing a vulnerability in how the site counts mobile views. But the botting problem is far from over. And the episode leaves a lot of lingering questions over the site's future.
YouTube's front page isn't just another website homepage. It's a cultural touchstone for YouTubers, an expression of the site's mission to let anyone with a webcam "broadcast yourself."
And the site's reputation and financial viability isn't an abstract concern for YouTube's video creators: Since YouTube shares advertising revenue with them, they're worried about losing their paychecks.
So the notion that Internet pranksters could wreak havoc on the front page has them concerned on many levels. As you'd expect videobloggers to do, they vlogged about the situation, spinning doom-and-gloom scenarios where the problem went on for months and advertisers pulled out, leading to the death of the site.
But YouTube, which hasn't been as responsive to YouTubers' past complaints about bots, took this episode seriously, patching one of the site's known vulnerabilities late last week.
The company hasn't said much publicly about the incident. Last week, a product manager, Bing Chen, acknowledged the problem on Twitter: "We're working on it. It's a tough issue for sure."
After the Daily Dot informed YouTube about the details of this story, a representative said the company was preparing a blog post about the subject but otherwise declined to comment.
Here's where YouTube's latest crisis got its start: Two weeks ago, Internet miscreants latched onto a post in a hacker forum that gave away for free the code to exploit a known vulnerability in how YouTube displays videos on smartphones.
This mobile API used to be exploited by paid botters, companies that promised to boost a YouTube video's views for popularity or monetary gain. Botting is a violation of YouTube's Terms of Service, and Google bans users caught using bots. But enforcement was rare, and as long as you didn't bot all your videos, it was unlikely you'd get caught. It was an easy if expensive way to get on YouTube's front page.
What used to be a tidy black-market business became a free-for-all with the hackers' release of two downloadable software programs. With no financial barrier to entry, anyone could bot—and YouTube's front page became the mess the world saw last week.
Normally, YouTube celebrities dominate the main page, but last week, Ray William Johnson, the No. 1 YouTuber, was lucky to find a slot.
In his place stood known YouTube annoyances like Jeffery Sapron and F7Mx. A video by Sapron, since removed, saw 5 million views. F7Mx's inane declaration of love for pop-country singer Taylor Swift, still on the site, has more than 10 million views. Both YouTubers claimed those videos were botted by "haters" who disliked their work.
Watching these botted videos, it doesn't take long to conclude they're not regular front-page fodder. And a technical analysis of the videos' statistics—for example, the ratio of likes, dislikes, and comments to total views—show known signs of botting.
Alejandra Gaitan, aka TheReplyGirl, who played a prominent role in the site's recent "Tittiepocalypse" controversy, was also on the front page last week. Her video, in which she complained about her videos being botted, showed signs of being botted.
Complaining about botting then became its own Internet meme. CopperCab, Internet-famous for his rant about redheads having souls, even made a minute-long video addressing the bots "ruining," "destroying," and "mocking" YouTube.
Jokes aside, YouTubers have been complaining about the exploitable mobile API for more than a year. It seems that Google may also have been aware that something was wrong with YouTube's mobile version, since it hasn't been charging advertisers for mobile views.
Google sells ads on YouTube's front page, however. And the front page drives Web traffic to videos against which Google also sells ads. That is probably why YouTube reacted with unprecedented speed to fix the issue.
Sometime late last week, YouTube engineers patched the mobile API hole that bot enthusiasts were exploiting with such gusto.
But until then, top YouTubers accustomed to making it to the front page through their on-screen talent and large fanbases, were losing hundreds or thousands of dollars a day in ad revenues during the botting crisis of last week, according to estimates by YouTubers the Daily Dot spoke to. (Google does not allow YouTubers to discuss their financial arrangements.)
It's not clear if YouTube itself felt an immediate financial impact, since the botting attacks simply changed which videos were displayed on the front page. But with low-quality videos flooding the front page, it risked turning off viewers and advertisers.
A new era for YouTube and its community
It's possible that this was more than a dollars-and-cents issue for YouTube. The reply-girl fiasco, in which young women in low-cut outfits filmed themselves responding nonsensically to popular videos, may have marked a turning point for YouTube's often-contentious relationship with its community.
Remember that YouTube, the company, has struggled to understand YouTube as a community. At one point, the company flew in a professor to explain YouTube to itself.
YouTubers are raucous and prone to panic and hyperbole. But they are also keen studies of the site.
If the people running YouTube are now paying closer attention to YouTubers, sifting signal from the noise and sorting legitimate gripes from attention-seeking drama, it can only make YouTube stronger as a company and a community.
YouTubers are taking this swift botting fix as a hopeful sign: In the land of YouTube, the sky isn't falling. For once.

Jeep Patriot inquiry
DETROIT - U.S. government safety regulators are investigating complaints that engines on Jeep Patriot SUVs can stall without warning at highway speeds.
The problem caused one crash in which two people were hurt, according to documents posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Web site.
The investigation affects about 112,000 Patriots from the 2011 and 2012 model years that were sold in the U.S. Chrysler Group LLC, the maker of Jeeps, sold 18,000 more in Canada.
NHTSA said Oct. 19 that it received a dozen complaints about stalling. Ten of the incidents occurred while the Jeeps were going 65 miles per hour or faster. In eight cases the Patriots could not be restarted and had to be towed.
"The complaints show an apparent increasing trend, with all but three received within the past six months," NHTSA said.
Chrysler said it is cooperating with NHTSA. Owners who are concerned should contact their dealer, the company said.
NHTSA said it will investigate to see whether the problem is widespread enough to order a recall. So far the Patriots have not been recalled.
NEW YORK - Nissan is recalling about 13,900 of its 2012 and 2013 Altima sedans because their bolts could become loose and fall out, increasing the risk of a car crash.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says on its Web site that the vehicles might have been equipped with transverse link bolts and power steering rack bolts that were not torqued to proper specification.
The vehicles were made from May 10 through July 26. Dealers will tighten the bolts to the proper specifications. The recall is expected to begin on or about Oct. 29.
Owners with questions may call Nissan at (800) 647-7261.

The Urban Proletariat
By CL Bryant
Is there an inner city reality being spawned by progressives that will mobilize the masses of the underemployed, undereducated and the perceived underserved into an army? Is there a movement that may truly bring about an irreversible change to the fundamental character of the United States of America? Does anyone question that unrest is brewing in the streets of our nation with ninety million Americans unemployed?
There are cries for justice reform in the US Court system and regardless of the 2016 election outcome we may not be able to escape the word that gave birth our country: revolution. History has recorded events that have led to dramatic change in civilizations and governments hundreds of years older than ours. Is it true that the only thing is certain is change? Is it still possible in this election season to convince potential American voters that they still have the power to sustain the rule of law? Or will the systemic shift toward socialism dominate urban thinking?
Karl Marx initiated the idea that a true revolution against Capitalism would be led by the "urban proletariat." Who are those he referred to as the Proletariat? In ancient Rome, they would have been the poorest of the poor who worked basically for bread. In Mao's Communist China, the urban proletariat did indeed help him in the confiscation of land and murder of private citizens and landowners. These private properties were then a part of massive redistribution, which is the foundational formula of President Barack Obama saying, "We need to spread the wealth around."
In the past eight years of Obama's constant campaign mode on this topic, the stage very well could be set for urban revolution. In my travels across our nation, I have noticed the rise in America of class warfare using the Marxist design of overthrowing capitalism in cities like Ferguson, Baltimore, New York, Detroit, Chicago, and Los Angeles. The seeds are being planted even in cities like my hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana with the infusion of money from Social Engineers like George Soros into statewide political races.
The mood nationally among the so-called disenfranchised in urban communities is that they have been dismissed from the American process. Progressives are effective in using this deception to turn urban communities into prime targets for unscrupulous politicians who promise wealth redistribution. This destructive design for the urban proletariat can be changed if we are willing to preach our message as fervently continually and effectively as those who stand against it.
We must tell the true economic history about the engine that has created the "The Greatest Success Story" the world has ever known: America. The name on that engine is the free market.

America's Great Leap Forward
"http:\/\/www.freedomworks.org\/content\/americas-great-leap-forward?social=facebook_share"
BY Anastasia Przybylski
I just finished a book on China's Great Leap Forward written during the 1950s. The book shook me to the core with images of starvation, brutality, and suffering. The reason China experienced this pain was the idea that the government could move the country "Forward" using redistribution and central planning methods.
A Follow Up On My Debate With My Liberal Relative

Yesterday, I blogged about the opportunity my liberal relative gave me to explain why those on public assistance should vote for conservatives in the 2012 election (you can see the post here). As you might imagine, this Facebook argument raged on (respectfully so, I must say) for most of the day and deep into the night.A couple of points came up in the discussion that I thought would be instructive to address.

The General Motors bond holders that had been offered a 10% stake in the company after recapitalization refused the offer. The unsecured bond holders are owed about $27 billion and 10% of a recapitalized GM is likely to be worth substantially less. It is possible that another deal could come together before the deadline of June 1.

Let's start with the good part of President Obama's State of the Union speech last night, since that's a much shorter task: He said his administration has "identified $2 trillion in savings over the next decade." (A decent start against the $3.25 trillion he just spent in one single piece of legislation, but just wait until he tries to gore the sacred cows of members of Congress.)
