I really liked that you said you needed to air yourself out by unbuttoning your shirt three buttons! You're totally right, chest hair is cool.

BITES

ALWAYS ROOM FOR MORE SP2’s large patio includes plenty of couches for lounging.

Take It Outside

HERE ARE approximately 300 days of sunshine per year in San Jose—that’s 300 days with the potential to enjoy one of the city’s many outdoor dining options. As the weather gets balmy, there are few better ways to unwind than with brunch underneath a cloudless sky or with a cocktail as the sun sets. Here’s a sampling of favorite spots with outdoor dining:|

NAGLEE PARK GARAGE 505 E. San Carlos St, San Jose The 30-seat restaurant serves some of downtown’s most polished meals in a welcoming and unpretentious setting. Diners can eat in the tiny indoor dining room or a pleasant, courtyard, where live music is performed almost every Wednesday evening. The menu features hearty seasonal dishes and a carefully curated selection of craft beers. SP2 COMMUNAL RESTAURANT AND BAR 72 N. Almaden Ave, San Jose SP2 Communal Bar + Restaurant has a large outdoor lounge area, with spacious seating and sleek, trendy ambience. The bar specializes in craft cocktails and the dining menu features creative comfort food like pancetta and kale cheddar mac & cheese and ginger-soy-glazed baby back ribs. LEFT BANK BRASSERIE 377 Santana Row, Suite #1100, San Jose There are very few places in California that can make one feel as if they’ve been transported to Europe, and Left Bank Brasserie is one of them. The restaurant serves traditional French cuisine in an elegant dining room, while the outdoor seating offers some of the best people-watching in town THE OLD WAGON SALOON AND GRILL 73 N. San Pedro St, San Jose Visitors will ﬁnd good food, good drinks, plenty of TVs to watch the Sharks and a generous outdoor patio that hosts ﬁre lamps and—on occasion— beer pong tables. MEZCAL 25 W. San Fernando St, San Jose Mezcal colorful, modern dining room is complemented by a large, enclosed patio. The restaurant serves traditional Oaxacan fare. Whether it’s mezcalbased cocktails, rich mole sauces or traditional chapulines (salty, fried grasshoppers), Mezcal delivers with an authenticity that’s hard to deny. LOFT BAR AND BISTRO 90 S. Second St, San Jose Loft is home to one of the very few rooftop dining spaces in Silicon Valley. On the sunny patio, diners can enjoy Loft's wide-ranging menu of hearty pastas and favorites like grilled pork tenderloin. LOS GATOS BREWING COMPANY 163 W. Santa Clara St, San Jose The downtown San Jose location of this brew pub (founded in Los Gatos) features a big back patio. Their beer is brewed on site and augments their wide variety of drinks and wines, in addition to some solid California cuisine. The menu includes sandwiches and burgers, slow-roasted baby back ribs, lamb sirloin and a variety of pizzas.—Alyssa Kies

SV DINING

Mother’s Day Dinner 2-8pm

LOCAL TASTE Cinnabar Winery, which has a tasting room on Big Basin Way, is among the wineries participating in the Spring Saratoga Wine Stroll.

Lunch: Tuesday-Friday 11-2pm Dinner: Tuesday-Sunday 5-9pm 408.998.CUBA 238 Race Street • San Jose • www.998cuba.com

Village Vino

NSTEAD OF the now nearly de rigueur breakfast in bed—or perhaps in addition to—many moms might prefer some wine tasting to celebrate Mother’s Day. The Spring Saratoga Wine Stroll takes place the day before Mother’s Day, May 10, 2:30-6pm in Saratoga Village (aka the downtown), along Big Basin Way. The event features more than 20 downtown Saratoga merchants hosting tastings from Bay Area wineries. Wine strollers can also sample bites from local restaurants during the event and catch some live music. Participating wineries include Loma Prieta Winery, MJA Vineyards, Savannah Chanelle, Burrell School, Cooper-Garrod, Cinnabar Winery and Enoteca Five. An added bonus for the forgetful: the chance to sneak off to a boutique to ﬁnd an almost-belated Mother’s Day present, or to pick up a bottle— on the sly, of course—of a new favorite wine. Advance tickets are $40 per person; day-of-event tickets are $45 per person. saratogachamber.org.

Mediterranean Climate THE TREND in restaurants serving Mediterranean fare is of course a boon to anyone with a passion for falafel or hummus or babaganoush. But in addition to those traditional dishes, Cafe Eden serves Med-inﬂuenced dishes in an easier to eat form: sandwiches and baguettes with ﬁllings that include kababs, grilled kasseri cheese, shawarma or spicy tomatoes. The idyllically named eatery opened earlier this month in downtown San Jose. Cafe Eden also serves sweets such as baklava and date donuts— and takeout is also available. Cafe Eden, 2 N. First St., San Jose. 408.753.1139. —Heather Zimmerman

SILICON VALLEY RESTAURANT WEEK

FEATURED CHEF

ALEXANDER XALXO SAKOON

Head chef Alexander Xalxo of Sakoon in Mountain View has crisscrossed the globe following his passion for Indian cuisine. Originally from New Delhi, Xalxo grew up with the fantastic flavors and aromas of India. Even from a young age he was very talented in the kitchen. The youngest of seven children, Xalxo says his siblings regularly egged him on to cook for them. He attended the Institute of Hotel Management in Mumbai, the premier culinary training institute in Asia, and shortly after graduation worked at five-star hotels in India. Xalxo moved to the United States, where he was hired to open what would become some of the best Indian restaurants in New York City, such as Tamarind. He says that when he came to America he was surprised to see how different the interpretations of Indian cuisine were from those in his home country—the biggest culprit being chicken tikka masala. At Sakoon, Xalxo says he does his best to reintroduce guests to the flavors and authentic recipes he perfected in India. Chef Xalxo explains that Indian cuisine at face value is really quite easy but it’s the practicing and perfecting the correct flavors that can truly wow diners.

The Lexington House

40 N. Santa Cruz Ave. Suite A Los Gatos 408.354.1600 Bringing together modern Northern California cuisine with classically inspired cocktails, small-batch spirits, craft beer, and limited-production wines, The Lexington House offers a welcoming dining experience for sharing a meal with friends. Opened in September 2013 by Stephen Shelton and Jimmy Marino, the restaurant in Los Gatos, CA, serves a progressive menu dictated by the seasons. Chef Philippe Breneman focuses on ingredients from local, organic, and sustainable farmers, and Shelton and Marino reﬂect that same philosophy in the bar program they co-curate.

RASAMâ€™S & IC LOUNGE

The savory Indian pastry samosa is one of the most common foods in India, but depending on which region it is made in, it can taste wildly different. Executive chef Arindam Bahel of Rasam's in Sunnyvale was inspired by the way something as simple as a samosa can take on so many forms and decided to pursue a career in the cooking industry. He says that he became a chef for a very good reason: he loves to eat. Bahel received his training from the Institute of Hotel Management in Goa, India, where he spent three years learning all he could about cooking and creating dishes designed to wow consumers. He went on to work as a chef in some of the top hotels in Mumbai, including the ďŹ ve-star Orchid Hotel. After 13 years of mastering his craft Bahel decided to make the move with his family to California and soon became the head chef at Rasam's in Sunnyvale. Rasam's opened last September on historic Murphy Avenue and specializes in creating modern Hindustani cuisine. Bahel loves to experiment with different ďŹ‚avors such as pork and appam (South Indian rice and coconut pancakes), and likes to include these fusion dishes as chef specials.

Being the youngest, Frias fondly remembers spending a good deal of time on his grandmother’s kitchen counter watching her work. The head chef at Los Gatos Brewing Company made his start, like many, as a dishwasher. Frias says it didn’t take long to realize how much he enjoyed cooking and the artistic expression that it offers. After some experience Frias walked into the small Campbell House restaurant, which gave him exposure to ﬁne dining preparations as well as an excellent manager who served as his career mentor. Yet, the Bay Area native says he feels happiest when he is making delicious, no-fuss food. Besides making pub fare like burgers and sandwiches to pair with a refreshing beer at LGBC, chef Frias says his favorite meal to prepare is breakfast. “If you make somebody a great breakfast, they’re going to be happy the rest of their day.” Being the chef at a brewery certainly has its perks and when he is looking for refreshment, chef Frias says nothing beats the British-inspired Firkin cask ale.

ANTHONY JIMENEZ THE TABLE

At an early age, Chef de Cuisine Anthony Jimenez was inspired by his mother’s kitchen, watching her make enchiladas. “The aroma of the spices was intoxicating,” he says. “I was hooked.” A graduate of the Professional Culinary Institute, Jimenez has been working in restaurants since the age of 15. In 2001 he joined the team at E&O Trading Co. and over the next four years helped them expand in California and Hawaii. He has also had the opportunity to inﬂuence several more of Silicon Valley’s most respected kitchens, including Bradley Ogden’s Parcel 104 and Emile’s. In 2012, Jimenez was recruited to lead the culinary team at The Table, a new 60-seat, urban neighborhood restaurant focused on seasonal ingredients, hand-crafted cocktails and progressive wines. As chef de cuisine, Jimenez works directly with local farmers to source the best ingredients for the seasonal menu. Chef Jimenez describes his cooking style as playful, yet simple and honest: “I believe that if you know your source and treat the product with respect you’ll get the most out of it.”

EVENTS

Drawn In

BEGUN in nearby Contra Costa County, Free Comic Book Day on the ﬁrst Saturday in May, is an annual worldwide promotion based on the logic of the old illegalchemical purveyor, “First one’s free.” All who visit a select list of direct-sales comics book shops get one specially published, age-appropriate comic book from a variety of publishers while supplies last. All of the valley’s best comic shops are participating with ’ROCKET’ POWER Free Comic Book Day cross-promotions. There’s giveaways include a ‘Rocket Raccoon’ comic. Bill’s Hot Dog cart and three separate teams of cosplayers at Santa Clara’s Illusive, a 20-percent-off sale at Campbell’s Legends, and the raffling off of a custom bag containing a complete run of all the free comics offered for the day at both locations of Lee’s Comics. The big day is a prelude to May 17-18’s Big Wow!, San Jose’s own comic con. Comics royalty like Neal Adams and Sergio Aragones will be on hand as well as John Kricfalusi, the creator of TV’s Ren and Stimpy; Kricfalusi honors the trad of Sunnyvale’s own Basil Wolverton in the creation of critters with hula hoop-sized eyeballs, and lolling dragon jaws.

Free Comic Book Day Saturday, May 3 South Bay and Peninsula comic book shops

Comics thrive in all cultural fields. They’re a lab for movies. The plot twists of Frank Miller and Chris Claremont are the templates for blockbusters. Comics are the matrixes for Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Blue is the Warmest Color alike; they’re the easiest grid for the autobiographies of everyone from bipolar hellions to pale unfortunates. Comics are still happily controversial— proof that there’s some juice left in a subject being pored over at the university level. Even a goyishe kopf like Jonah Goldberg can ask a thoughtful question: if Captain America’s vibranium shield absorbs all impact, how then can he thus ring the bells of villains by tossing said shield at their heads? Online commentators can be as profound as the scholastics of the Dark Ages mulling over the physical nature of angels. They can also be ordinary bullies. When DC went weekly with New 52, revamping their characters and augmenting their bodies, commentators such as Jill “The Nerdy Bird” Pantozzi got slammed by furious fanboys for asking, in essence “How can these women fight crime with giant watermelons grafted to their chests?” (Headlights are one thing, but klieg lights are ridiculous.) This May I’ll pad my own cardboard comic book coffin, chock full already of Flaming Carrot, Eightball and Hate. Need more Olsen. Sold by the pound as bird-cage linings when I first started glomming them, DC’s worst-selling title, Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen, bursts with the pure poetry of only the most desperate serial writers. They speak to posterity: “Jimmy Olsen shall become a giant turtle boy. He shall collect Superman’s tears in an eyedropper. In a dress, with lipstick on.” This is how comics survive: a DNA-deep wonkery that no new media, no platforming, no interactive multi-media experience, no respectability, can ever extract.

REVIEW

’BLUE’ WITHOUT A CLUE Dwight (Macon Blair) goes seeking revenge but doesn’t expect the dire consequences that follow.

Hobo With a Shotgun IF JEREMY SAULNIER’S Blue Ruin had played the drive in circuit 40 years ago, I’m certain people would still be describing it as a classic. Critics are citing the Coens and QT, but I don’t think Saulnier’s originality is getting the props it deserves. When Eve Plumb, of the dire Brady Bunch, does the acting of her life just by gazing in bad-witch fury at a home invader—shouldn’t the director get a little credit? Saulnier achieves great silent density, and that’s what twists the knife in this thriller, and makes you want to shout at the screen in the moments of tension.

As Dwight, Macon Blair is a car-dweller at a Delaware beach town. Saulnier’s eye for this limits-of-the-world living is keen, as when he shoots the illuminated hub of a Ferris wheel to look like the eye of Sauron. This transient learns, from a cop who knows him, that someone from his past is about to be released from jail. As that line from A Tale of Two Cities has it, Dwight is now “recalled to life”—he heads out to track down the exprisoner. But what seemed like a simple act of revenge is complicated. It hadn’t looked like it, but Dwight actually has

something to lose. And in his fury, he hadn’t considered repercussions. The lethal family behind the dead man are settling the problem on their own. They prefer, as one of Blue Ruin them says, to “keep it in the house.” R; 90 MIN. Blair’s hapless vulnerability Opens Fri. is key to the danger and the pathos: shaved and cleaned up, he looks about as bloodthirsty as David Byrne. Saulnier has an eye on the divides in our land: the difference between the rich and the poor Americas, and the differences of the world of men and women. The film has its share of bloody shock, but one of its biggest surprises is a jump from a milieu of knife fighters to a domestic scene of a mom, two girl children and a baby sitter. Blue Ruin’s title is enigmatic—it’s possible it refers to a beat-up car, or a bug zapper. The important thing is that this is a film that knows what it’s talking about: a man out of his depth, the guns that sink him down, and the inadequacy of manning-up as a solution to an unhealable tragedy. —Richard von Busack

FINE WHINE His music may be famously melancholy, but Morrissey’s wit has always shone through.

The Closer He Gets

“I NEVER liked Morrissey,” sang John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats once, “and I don’t like you.” That was on “Anti-Music Song,” one of Darnielle’s early four-track songs from the ’90s, but by 2002, on the compilation Ghana, the leader of one of the most respected indie bands around had written in the liner notes about it: “I’ve actually become a belated convert to the Church of the Mozzer, and regret going public with my ignorance Morrissey of his excellence.” By 2008, Darnielle was covering w/Kristeen Young “Suedehead” at live shows. For longtime Morrissey fans, it might have been easy Wed, May 7, 8pm to judge, but isn’t this how it went for so many of City National Civic, us? I remember driving past Santa Cruz’s Morrissey San Jose Boulevard with friends in my ﬁrst year of college, $45-$59.50 and making jokes about how it must be the whiniest (sold out) street on the planet. That was about a year before I discovered the Smiths via The Queen is Dead, and I certainly never made another Morrissey joke again. I now have the words “Hang the DJ” (from the Smiths’ “Panic”) tattooed on my leg. So John Darnielle, I feel you.

Thursdays & Friday Night 9pm ~ 11pm

The thing is, no one makes better Morrissey jokes than Morrissey, and his upcoming 10th solo album World Peace is None of Your Business, to be released this summer, appears to have some good ones, if titles like “I’m Not a Man” are any indication. Moz’s self-deprecating wit and lyrical genius have seduced legions of unbelievers over his more than 30 years in music, a phenomenon that his 1994 solo hit “The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get” seems to address head on in a sly sex-music double entendre: “When you sleep, I will creep into your thoughts, like a bad debt that you can’t pay, take the easy way and give in—and let me in.” His autobiography was a huge hit last year, and while it had a lot of the expected incisive humor (and way too much about the Smiths trial), it didn’t give any insight at all into how he does what he does as a songwriter and singer. The only way to understand what inspires such a ﬁerce allegiance in his fans is to see him live, which San Jose will get the rare chance to do as he opens his tour here. —Steve Palopoli
