Maybe in some places, it’s considered polite to stagger into your own bar and smack the counter like you’re an ape. And maybe also in those places, it’s ok to shout profanities at people who may or may not even exist; who you think are “sassing” you. The place for this is not in your own bar, alienating your regular customers who watch as you repeatedly try to baselessly “fire" your bartender—who might be one of the only saving graces of your hole-in-the-wall, dive, POS establishment. Hey, even these regulars pointed out that they pay your bills and frequent your business, despite the possibility of your long greasy ponytail hairs getting in their drinks. You can do all this in the dubious comforts of your own home, except for firing the bartender, which… enough is enough, asshole.

The Raita Stuff

C

USTOM BURRITOS are no longer the sole province of Mexican fast-casual joints. The clearly burrito-inspired wraps dubbed Burrotis are a signature item on the menu at Tava Indian Kitchen, which melds a Chipotle-style model with the flavors of an Indian buffet.

Started in 2012 by three former consultants looking to follow their passions for cooking and entertaining, Tava Indian Kitchen serves a customizable menu at its three locations. Tava has restaurants at Town and Country Village in Palo Alto, at the Dining Terrace of Westfield Valley Fair mall in Santa Clara and in San Francisco. Customer and employee complete each order in an assembly line fashion. Ordering begins with a base selection: Burroti, rice bowl or salad bowl. Rice bowls and Burrotis offer a choice of white or brown basmati rice. Protein selections include chicken, seared lamb, paneer bhurjee or chickpeas sautéed with ginger in coconut milk. Other additions include vegetables such as cucumbers, red onions and jalapeños. For an extra spike of flavor diners can dress their creation with a choice of two sauces—tomato-based tikka masala sauce or lentils in tadka sauce— and a variety of chutneys, ranging from a cooling yogurt raita to tava lava (listed as insane on Tava’s heat scale and maybe so, as it’s made with ghost peppers). The signature Burroti is made to order with freshly pressed roti, an unleavened bread popular throughout South Asia. Slightly more dense than a traditional flour or corn tortilla, as a wrap, the roti holds up well to the hearty portions of fillings. Whether diners choose a salad, rice bowl or Burroti, the meal costs $7.50. I was impressed with the portions, carrying leftovers away on more than one occasion. Additionally, flavor combinations and creativity make Tava a versatile lunch option; I enjoyed a lamb and daal salad on one occasion, a spicy paneer tikka masala Burotti the next visit and a rice bowl with chicken, chickpeas and cool yogurt raita on a third. I did find the lamb to be overcooked and not as appetizing as I had anticipated. However, the paneer and chicken were very good. For a little extra money, you can mix the chicken and chickpeas, which I found to be a winning flavor combination with the slight sweetness from the coconut broth. Between the sauces and chutneys, the heat sometimes snuck up and I was glad I had ordered a cool, sweet mango lassi. Coconut water in a can, ginger beer and fountain sodas are also available. Those with special diets will find the restaurant does well to note each option as to whether they are vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or dairy free. Additionally, the chicken is hormone-free and both the chicken and lamb are halal. —Jeff Cianci TAVA INDIAN KITCHEN Town & Country Village, 855 El Camino Real, Suite 162, Palo Alto, 650.321. TAVA.

Heavy Lifting

WITH THEIR PLODDING routines of protein-packed dieting, lifting and downto-the-minute scheduling, bodybuilders have a reputation for being a bit dull. They’re like monks—insanely bulked-up, shredded monks—on a monomaniacal quest for physical nirvana. Kali Muscle, 39, shatters convention. The Oakland-born athlete, whom many may recognize from the “happier than a bodybuilder directing traffic” Geico ad, went from college footballer, to San Quentin convict, to philosopher and author. It’s a biography, laid out in his new book From Xcon to Icon, as intriguing as his personality, which comes through in thundering rants and fitness-related pep talks he shares to his tens of millions of viewers on YouTube.

“People have connected with my story,” says Kali, who comes to San Jose this weekend for the FitExpo to promote his new book.

On a steady diet of canned tuna, Top Ramen and endless weightlifting, the excollege football star developed a Herculean physique. In 1997, when California prison banned weightlifting because inmates were getting too strong, Kali had to get creative. On leg days, he’d have guys sit on his shoulder for weighted squats. For chest presses, he’d have someone lean in with their body weight for resistance. For weights, he’d use trash bags and water bottles. After seven years, Kali got out and fell back into the street life, as a dope dealer and pimp, which earned him a few more stints behind bars. Only after his final release in 2009 did he discover bodybuilding, started competing—and winning. A 2010 acting gig in a Matthew McConaughey-directed country music video quickly led to casting in national commercials for Snickers, Old Navy, Comcast and Honda and, this summer, a soon-to-air TV show. Armed with more than a decade’s worth of innovative inmate exercise routines, Kali began posting his prison-style bodybuilding workouts online and quickly garnered a following. “I’m not saying being in prison was worthwhile,” says Kali, who brings his message of overcoming the odds to juvenile detention centers, jails and prisons. “It was a complete waste of time. But it has made me appreciate my freedom. Yeah, I’m labeled an ex-con, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be successful.”—Jennifer Wadsworth

REVIEW

NOT ALL THUMBS ‘Life Itself’ explores the many facets of Roger Ebert’s life and career.

Screen Time THE TOUCHING and well-built Roger Ebert documentary Life Itself isn’t as varnished as you might expect. Having very close access to Ebert, director Steve James caught sometimes brutal footage of a death from cancer. The steadfastness of Ebert’s wife Chaz amazes. Everyone speaks of the courage of a dying patient, but Ebert’s illness forces him to remain where he is. His mate stays by choice. That may be tougher. In the late 1960s, Ebert was a young hire at the Chicago Sun-Times, then the Democrat, labor newspaper; he was an even younger winner of the Pulitzer Prize. On the side, he served as scriptwriter, cooking up the smarter alternative to Showgirls, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. The Midwestern critic headed for national fame on the basis of Sneak Previews, a TV show that started lo-fi. He may have looked like a plucked owl in a plaid sweater-vest at first, but Ebert learned the science of looking televisionistic. He was yoked with the tougher, leaner Gene Siskel—a pal of Hugh Hefner’s, it turns out. It became long-running and popular TV vaudeville, complete with circus pooch heralding the “dog of the week.” Life Itself demonstrates that Ebert managed to keep his independence somewhat, and as one fine Ebert/Siskel

dustup suggests, that liking Benji the Hunted didn’t prove he was wrong for disliking Full Metal Jacket. Despite how well he explained Robert Bresson for the beginner, I’ve got mixed feelings about the way Ebert simplified the complex. Ultimately, Sneak Previews narrowed Life Itself the possibilities of film criticism. (How R; 115 min. many times have I Plays valleywide heard “You’re a film critic? Like Fatty and Skinny on TV?”) Life Itself shows the strain the pair operated under while doing the show. Interviewee Jonathan Rosenbaum, a critic of more depth and rigor than Ebert, suggests that Ebert was part of the entertainment business instead of separate from it. Ebert did try to sneak in more prestige films among the ‘mersh. Sometimes a plodder, he was never a phony. Sad that Ebert’s time as a blogger, at last free of editors and commercial constraints, coincided with the illness that disfigured him and rendered him speechless. The eminent critic Cyril Connolly wrote that the phrase “I read you but I don’t agree with you” is a politer way of saying “I know you but I don’t like you.” It’d be hard not to like Ebert after seeing this. —Richard von Busack
