| Charlie Trotter takes 2nd gamble on Vegas
Chicago's own Charlie Trotter is throwing his toque into Las Vegas' fine-dining ring with Restaurant Charlie, slated to open at the Palazzo next month. The 85-seat main dining room will serve seafood-centric dishes a la carte, while the intimate Bar Charlie will dish up sushi, sashimi and other surprises at a long counter seating 18. "We're not trying to do what we do in Chicago -- the 3.5-hour, 12-course experience," Trotter said at the Palazzo's grand opening over the weekend. While seafood is the focus of the new restaurant, Trotter has a treat for high-rolling carnivores. He plans to serve a richly marbled cut of Wagyu beef from an exclusive Japanese purveyor. The 4- to 5-ounce steak will cost about $250. "We'll probably just give people a spoon to eat it," Trotter said.
Arkansas, Oklahoma Lose Television Signal, Can't Watch Super Bowl
9 News with questions and comments about the outage.Actually, in my opinion, this is a small price to pay to not have to see Ryan Seacrest, all the wannabe celebrities traipsing down the red carpet, all the hare-brained commercials, and Paula Adbul's pre-pregame "performance." That said, I'm sure the fine citizens of Arkansas and Oklahoma would like to be able to make such decisions for themselves instead of, you know, just having their teevees go out. * This is a joke; the Midwest is obviously an extremely awesome place. .
Natchez Regional facing drastic changes
Later, when I had my second child and had to have a C-section, nothing made me feel any better than to surprising look up to a masked face with eyes I knew, crinkled at the corners with a smile, telling me everything would be okay. She put me at ease while they brought my baby into the world. But, when the surgery was over, I remained without the pain machine they give you afterwards because they couldn't find one for me. So I laid in a little hallway, on my stretcher, waiting.........without pain medication because they were waiting for the machine and thought they'd have it soon.......... There's good and bad to be said and taken into account. I just hope the good employees don't have to suffer for it. Their industry is one of the best paying fields left in the area.
