Thanks for Franks I have to give a shout out to the hot dog vendor near San Joe's the other night. I asked for two hot dogs, found out I had no cash and he just gave them to me anyway! Are you kidding me? That's fantastic! And he totally acted like he didn't see me when I was putting mustard in an empty mayonnaise jar that I had. I know he saw me too but he just shook his head and I assume chuckled to himself. Free hot dogs and free mustard? Yes, please!

NDIAN MTV sets the soundtrack at Cupertino’s Peacock Indian Restaurant: elaborate production numbers choreographed to Hindi pop flash on half a dozen TV screens hung around the dining room, with the music turned up enough to enjoy but not so much as to dominate conversations. On the screens, in music video form, romantic scenes and dramatic confrontations unfold in many different settings: the beach, a lush garden, a temple courtyard. This built-in entertainment offers a good sense of the restaurant itself—a menu with a little bit of everything. The restaurant is one of a small group of Indian eateries based primarily in the Bay Area. The Cupertino location offers a bright dining room with big, comfortable booths. The restaurant has dishes drawn from both North and South Indian cuisines, with curries, dosas and biryani rice dishes. The menu also includes a selection of kababs as well as some dishes that meld Indian and Chinese flavors. The Gobi Manchurian ($6.99) is an appetizer in the battered and fried tradition of some American Chinese dishes. Lightly crispy batter coats cauliflower florets that were well cooked—just a little past tender but not mushy. The florets’ exterior lost some of its crispness in a garlicky sauce that had a surprising kick, courtesy of, at least in part, the thinly sliced rings of jalapeño that resemble the dish’s garnish—a sprinkling of chopped scallions. A spicy, rich sauce was the highlight of the bagara baingan ($7.99), an eggplant curry, which featured small baked eggplants stuffed with peanuts and coconut paste. The creamy sauce packed a punch, while the flavor of vegetables and their stuffing was more subtle. Somewhat under-spiced was the filling of the masala dosa ($7.99). The dosa itself, a large crepe made of rice and lentil flour, had a perfect crispness complemented by a slight sourness. The filling of potatoes with peas got a nice warmth from turmeric but otherwise was a little too mild on heat and flavor. The dosas couldn’t compete with the sauces served alongside them, which included sambar (a vegetable and lentil stew) and a delicious, light and fresh coconut chutney. —Heather Zimmerman PEACOCK INDIAN 10251 S.

ITH A NAME more evocative of car parts or shoes, the opaquely styled Tpumps has nonetheless drawn long lines to its new digs in Cupertino on Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Tpumps held its soft opening this weekend, and the line was out the front door at the bubble tea cafe, which builds on the customization concept that has served spots like Bay Area ice cream sandwich juggernaut CREAM so well. Customers choose their tea (including black or green), sweetness level, toppings such as red bean and taro, and flavors like passionfruit, peach and lychee. Finally, they can add milk—or not. Tea flavors come in syrup form, likely the inspiration for the funky moniker. However, odd name notwithstanding, Tpumps has already established itself on the Peninsula and San Francisco, with the Cupertino spot its third location. TPUMPS 19959 Stevens Creek Blvd., Cupertino
A Little [More] Counter

N ITS three years at San Pedro Market Square, Little Chef Counter has built a following with its menu of reimagined comfort food, particularly its poutine, served, as the name suggests, from a counter located inside the market building in downtown San Jose. Now the Little Chef Group will open a second location, and one that has walls of its own. Little Wine Counter is slated to open later this month at the Pruneyard shopping center in Campbell. The new spot is next-door to longstanding Mexican restaurant El Burro. Little Wine Counter’s offerings will include charcuterie and cheese, as well as desserts and, of course, wine. A sample menu, which includes dishes such as beef tenderloin and tuna crudo, can be found at littlewinecounter.com. —Heather Zimmerman

Arsenal of Curiosities A SUBJECT no less than life in all of its complexity is the focus of a new exhibition by Katherine Levin-Lau, at artist-owned and -operated art store/gallery The Arsenal. "I want it to be curious," Levin-Lau says, referring to her intensely colorful, collagelike interpretations of the detritus of the natural world. A native of upstate New York, Levin-Lau moved to Santa Barbara as a child. She gleaned early inspiration from local Westmont College, peeking around unlocked science buildings, taking in the vast array of natural oddities on display. New works by Katherine Levin-Lau Using typically off-putting images in beautiful ways—such as a skeleton superimposed against a flower—Levin-Lau's pieces are examinations of the how life and death, the beautiful and dreadful, interact everyday if you dare to look. Her sharp layering of floral arrangements, animal skeletons and sea life play with perceptions and trick the eyes. The drawings manage both to merge objects and isolate them: a floral arrangement at once shadows a skeleton but also highlights it.
Thru March 28 The Arsenal, 1202 The Alameda, San Jose thearsenalsj.com
What’s most interesting about Levin-Lau's new work is its subordinate, but still potent, connection to cabinets of curiosities, 17th-century collections of mythical creatures, archaeological items, religious relics or other exotic goods that the were precursors of the modern museum. Just as those old exhibits were driven by aesthetic sense as much as by any real science, Levin-Lau's collage/bouquet overlaps drawings of naturalistic elements, from skeleton to leaf, to capture both the wonder of objects and the fear of death. The result, to use a contradiction, is a kind of decadent freshness, natural science in the service of studio art. This “natural” juxtaposition is, as one might imagine, difficult to achieve. Each piece takes a week to create, starting with a monotype printed from an etched zinc plate. Levin-Lau then paints the print in multiple layers, purposefully leaving discrepancies—like small blotches of solvent—that add to the subtle depth of the image. Surprisingly, no black is used; instead a mixture of dark bases such as magenta and orange create a richer, deeper field. With exhibitions in Europe and across America, Levin-Lau is no stranger to the art world. But she says she has been drawn to San Jose by the city's growing passion for art. That passion seems widespread—the opening night reception featured a mix of older professionals and a younger, more subversive crowd. The juxtaposition of the gourmet appetizers displayed beneath racks of spray paint reflected both the raw and wondrous elements of Lau's paintings, as well as the mixed crowds in San Jose's art scene. For now at least, the area's art lovers are eschewing any preconceptions of taste or status in their support of compelling local art. That's good for Levin-Lau, whose art deserves the attention it gets, and for San Jose's future as an art center.—Tad Malone

It’s seriously under-femaled, and it pauses to congratulate itself for its cleverness. At worst, Anderson is a director of ducky ďŹ lms, but this nested story of Central European skullduggery seems to have more of a spine than anything he’s made since Fantastic Mr. Fox. Anderson claims to have been inuenced by the writer of Austrian decline, Stefan Zweig. I thought there was a different inuence, though, by the Czech author Bohumil Hrabal’s I Served the King of England. It’s a tale told by the proprietor of a declining luxury hotel during the 1960s in the Slovenia-like nation of Zubrowka. F. Murray Abraham is the turtlenecked proprietor Moustafa, a man The Grand who looks as haunted as Solzhenitsyn. In Budapest Hotel a conversation over dinner, this elder tells a young writer (Jude Law) about the life R; 99 min. Moustafa had between the wars. He was a lad (played by Tony Revolori) back when the Opens Fri. carpets were a sumptuous imperial crimson and not a repulsive Intourist burnt-orange. In those days Moustafa was mentored by the suave concierge M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes, terriďŹ cally louche), a heavily scented, indifferently heterosexual squire to wealthy elderly women. His oldest client (Tilda Swinton, grotesque in old-age makeup) bequeaths Gustave a valuable painting. Thus the upstart hotelier becomes involved with blueblooded fascists, including Adrien Brody, the Black Michael of this Zenda and his leather-wrapped thug Jopling (a snarling Willem Dafoe). Jailbreaks, alpine assassination, harrowing castles and political discord make this an unusually ripsnorting Anderson ďŹ lm. Far more like him are his asides: mentions of a far-off land called “Dutch Tanganyika,â€? rides on the trams of the gloomy capital city, Lutz, and a visit to the Bureau of Labor and Servitude. It doesn’t seem to be all about the art direction. Anderson styles his productions American Empirical, and he ďŹ nally seems to have a fully running studio: a script department, a tabletop special effects lab, a ďŹ rst-rate music department and a stable of actors, including an artistically disďŹ gured Saoirse Ronan, Harvey Keitel as a bald convict and Jeff Goldblum, in spectacles that make him look like Sartre.— Richard von Busack
