REUBEN MASTERPIECE The Unkosher sandwich pairs heaps of pastrami with swiss cheese and sauerkraut—and gets its name from a liberal application of bacon-Russian dressing.
Bet on Spread
O
NE PART craft beer bottle shop and one part deli makes for a successful recipe at Spread in downtown Campbell.
The deli’s proprietor, Jordan Trigg, owns a fair share of responsibility for helping build up the South Bay craft beer scene with both Jack’s Bar and Lounge in Japantown and Liquid Bread, a neighbor to Spread in downtown Campbell. Jack’s Bar has developed a solid gathering of customers with its neighborhood vibe, as well its sponsorship of the San Jose Beerwalk. Liquid Bread pairs a gourmet gastropub menu with a collection of craft beer. Spread takes the middle ground between its two sister craft beer establishments, with a menu of deli sandwiches, sides and an impressive selection of bottled beers. Inside Spread, white tiled walls jog associations to a classic deli, while recycled beer bottle pendant lamps and brewery art offer a nod to Spread’s gastropub leanings. Several refrigerators house 200-plus bottles of beer. Bottles can be purchased for in-house enjoyment or taken to go, (customers purchasing brews to go receive a 40 percent discount off the bottle price). If online shopping is more your thing the beer collection can be found on Spread’s Ebay page. After I spent much time browsing, the bright label art of the Femme Fatale Yuzu Pale IPA caught my attention. The beer is made by Evil Twin Brewing, a Danish “phantom” brewer that collaborates with established breweries on limited-run projects. The Femme Fatale Yuzu drinks like an IPA with an enjoyably sweet and tangy flavor balance and a beautiful aroma of tropical fruits and citrus. Though delicious, the brew comes with a bit of sticker shock ($23.99 for a 22 oz. bottle). However, bottles come in all different price points. Spread also pours beer on tap as well as glasses of wine. Recent draft offerings included Heart’s Delight Summer Ale by local Santa Clara Valley Brewing. After 5:30pm Monday through Saturday, Spread’s happy hour serves draft beer and wine for $3.99 and $4.99 respectively. A perfect companion to beer, Spread’s take on the classic Reuben, the Unkosher ($12.99), is perhaps the eatery’s signature deli item. Heaps of juicy, flavorful, thinly shaved pastrami, paired with tangy swiss cheese, sauerkraut and bacon-Russian dressing, all sandwiched between marbled rye bread was a heavenly combination. An equally delicious sandwich equally sweet, savory and spicy, was The Ono, with slow roasted pork tenderloin and pork belly, a pineapple garlic spread, stir-fried bok choy, sesame pineapple sauce and sriracha on a sweet roll. Spread’s fingerling potato salad and coleslaw ($2.99 each) proved far tastier than a typical deli counter creation.—Jeff Cianci SPREAD 193 E Campbell Ave, Campbell. 408.340.5549 spreadcampbell.com.

EGGIELUTION IMPROVES upon the farm-to-table meal with a dinner that brings the table to the farm. The urban farm holds its annual fundraising dinner, Bounty of Heart’s Delight, on Aug. 23 right where all the magic happens—that is, where many of the ingredients grow, in their six-acre spread at Emma Prusch Farm Park. Tours of the farm and a barn dance bookend the meal. A different local chef presides over each year’s feast and the 2014 dinner features Affie Mahini of Café Pomegranate in the kitchen. Mahini’s menu for the Bounty dinner highlights produce grown at Veggielution, with dishes such as gazpacho made with the farm’s own heirloom tomatoes and lemon cucumbers. And whatever’s not grown at the farm has been locally sourced, right down to the olive oil drizzled on the caprese skewer appetizers. Other dishes on the menu include, as a starter, Koofteh Nokodchi (Persian meatballs made of chickpeas and grass-fed beef) and the main course: grass-fed beef medallions with farm vegetables in a zinfandel reduction. Chambord-macerated fruit with whipped coconut cream tops off the dinner. Beer and wine accompanying the meal are also locally produced. Bounty of Heart’s Delight raises funds for Veggielution community and educational programs, which include providing produce to families in need and healthy cooking classes. BOUNTY OF HEART’S DELIGHT takes place Aug. 23, 4-10pm at Emma Prusch Farm Park, 647 S. King Road, San Jose. Tickets are $100. veggielution.org/bohd

Late Summer Sipping
T
HE SEASONS don’t change all that noticeably in the Bay Area, but even so, the coming of September hints that summer’s waning. Thus, the Willow Glen Business Association toasts the coming change of the seasons—if only on the calendar—with a Late Summer Wine Walk. The event features wine tasting at local merchants and restaurants along Lincoln Avenue and throughout downtown Willow Glen. More than 30 area wineries and wine purveyors are on the roster, including Bargetto, Cannonball Wine Company, Cinnabar, Coterie Cellars, Fenestra, Guglielmo, Roudon-Smith and Silvertip Vineyards. THE WINE WALK takes place Aug. 23, 2-6pm. Tickets are $35 in advance. If tickets remain on the day of the walk, they will be $40. willowglen.org/Wine-Walks —Heather Zimmerman

HUMDRUM HILARITY Brian Regan has made a career out of finding the funny in the mundane and everyday.
The People’s Comedian BRIAN REGAN ALWAYS re-ties his shoes before walking onstage. After all, it would look really unprofessional if a shoe came off in the middle of his performance. It’s a mundane ritual, but mundane is gold for Regan. The veteran comedian has made a career spinning witty observations out of the minutia of day-to-day life—the preposterously detailed nature of DMV handbooks, or a driver on his cell phone who thanks the comedian for allowing him to merge by raising a lone pinky finger from his handset. Even something so banal as lacing-up can be turned into a punchline. Brian Regan “In that sense, I’m also an incredible athlete,” Regan says of his pre-show protocol. “I’m sure Peyton Manning also The Mountain re-ties his shoes.” Winery, Saratoga Regan’s 25 years of touring as a standup comedian have always held to a clean, observational humor that highlights the absolutely ordinary. No props or gimmicks—just stories from a father of two who grew up in Miami and likes to play golf (but is “terrible” at it).
Aug 24, 5:30 pm, $35-$65 mountainwinery.com/ concerts
“I’m an everyday Joe Blow on stage,” Regan says. “I’m of the people.” Regan says he draws inspiration from the “average human experience in our culture,” and likens his style of comedy to a Magic Eye poster. “There’s just this weird pattern but you have to keep looking and looking and see there’s a dinosaur,” he says. If you examine any one thing long enough, absurdities will inevitably present themselves. Regan got his big break when he landed a gig at a comedy club in Ft. Lauderdale. Before long he was living in New York and working to earn his stripes. In the years that followed he was named “Best Club Comedian” by the American Comedy Awards and became a regular on the Late Show with David Letterman. Since 1995 he has made 26 appearances on the program. In 2012, he was one of the first guests booked on Jerry Seinfeld’s web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Though he is known for his animated facial expressions and energetic standup sets, Regan says he doesn’t try to be “the life of the party” when he’s not performing. “When I’m not on stage I like blending into the wallpaper,” he says. “I like to be able to not be funny sometimes.”— Alice Yin

’Stay’ Away GAYLE FORMAN’S best-sellers are the kind of thing that should make Young Adult authors feel uneasy about their craft; the work reads like someone describing what they’ve been watching on television. (Forman won an award once for “writing for reluctant readers.” It’s as if literature contained gluten.) If I Stay preserves the essence rare. The “ex-riot grrl” mommy Kat (Mireille Enos) consoles her child: “Life is this big fat gigantic stinking mess, and that’s the beauty of it.” Director R. J. Cutler visualizes the azure televisionistic glow of the book as a Thomas Kinkade view of alternative Portland, Oregon. The plot is soup made out of The Lovely Bones. Mia (Chloe Grace Moretz) is a cello prodigy on her way to Juilliard. Instead she falls in love with a popular local rocker called Adam (the Manx actor Jamie Blackley). Mia is the classical-music loving outcast in an ex-punk rock family. Thus Iggy Pop’s “The Passenger”—written in honor of Antonioni—is overlaid on a helicopter shot of a happy family mini-van driving through a winter wonderland. The van is hit by a truck, with heavy casualties. Mia, in a coma, wanders the hospital halls, wondering whether she can bear the pain of living. A nurse (Aisha Hinds) reaches out to Mia, telling her she has to fight.

(The moral: everyone who dies is a quitter.) If I Stay braids three stories: firstly, Mia’s maddeningly over-narrated first person account, explaining her every feeling. Secondly, there’s the If I Stay poignant past Mia revisits: having nearly murdered my PG-13; 106 MIN. love of Iggy, If I Stay threatens Opens Friday my love of funky, untidy three-story Pacific Northwest houses. Thirdly, there is the problem of a couple just out of high school, deeply in love, considering colleges a continent apart. The third part could have worked. Not everyone dreams of being Sleeping Beauty, but this question of staying home or leaving for college has some real pain to it. It’s a firstworld problem, but that’s beside the point. Nothing works here—the movie about musicians is completely tone-deaf. Blackley is like an underdeveloped Robert Pattinson, and the powerhouse Moretz gapes to mime innocence—she’s not good at being shy and wistful. The cello music is seriously ordinary, even if Stacey Keach, cast to prime the pump of tears, tells Mia “You played your guts out!” This movie’s guts never existed. —Richard von Busack

Avey Tare heads up spooky group Slasher Flicks
The Horror
IT’S BEEN TWO YEARS since Animal Collective’s last album, Centipede HZ, but singer and multi-instrumentalist Avey Tare has used his free time to ratchet up that record’s tense vibe. Tare, whose real name is David Portner, has just released Enter the Slasher House, the debut album from his project Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks, formed with ex-Dirty Projectors’ Angel Deradoorian and ex-Ponytail’s Jeremy Hyman. Enter the Slasher House sounds a bit like a stripped-down version of Centipede HZ, with Tare taking inspiration from B-movies and ’60s garage rock bands and mixing it with a ’70s horror flick aesthetic. It may sound campy, but the resulting music is legitimately creepy and unsettling. “It’s not something I feel I ever would have explored with Animal Collective, being so referential with the music I like,” Portner says. “It was cool to be more experimental in that sense. There’s also an open-endedness to it. As much as I like that aesthetic, and I’m making it obvious with the photos we take with our press stuff, there’s this other side of music that’s like ‘you should leave it open for somebody’s imagination.’”
Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks Aug. 25, 8:30pm $15 Catalyst Atrium, Santa Cruz catalystclub.com
For a band called “Slasher Flicks,” the subtlety is surprising. They never break out into Misfits monster-movie punk tunes, or gothy Bauhaustype songs. The horror influence is more abstract; Portner has paired the recognizably eerie sounds from horror movies like Halloween and the films of Dario Argento, with the youthful exuberance of early teen garage bands like The Seeds to create a driving, uncomfortable batch of songs that deal with his feelings about getting older. “This record caught me at a weird point in my life. The songs are cathartic, in a way of getting stuff out that I felt like I needed to get out of my system—there’s a driving tension to it,” Portner says. His change in direction over the last couple of years is less surprising in the context of his history with Animal Collective. Sung Tongs, the record that established them in 2004, was an acoustic record that radiated a natural, organic feeling, right down to the often wordless vocal melodies. They were hailed as leaders of the “freak-folk” scene. But with each album since, Animal Collective have made significant shifts in their sonic palette. On 2009’s Merriweather Post Pavillion the group channeled the Beach Boys—coupling psychedelic melodies with deliberately synthetic production and texturing. It’s not so much that they’ve been able to succeed in the face of constantly altering their sound; they’ve succeeded because of it. “A lot of what people respect about us is that we’ve done it in this other way—in the experimental nature of it,” Portner says. “For me it’s always just a continuously spinning wheel of music, and its little compartments that spin around. It’s like, where will the wheel land?”— Aaron Carnes

THE STRAIGHT DOPE
By CECIL ADAMS
CECIL@METRONEWS.COM
Early in my mother’s pregnancy, she became aware her father had a terminal illness. He died two months before I was born. I’m almost 70 years old but have always wondered: What do we know, if anything, about the long-term impact of a traumatic event on human development? —LoDub First let’s define trauma. Back in the days when medical insight consisted largely of old wives’ tales, it was regularly claimed a pregnant woman shouldn’t spend too much time around fish lest her child be born scaly. Cut to the present: nobody doubts there are some things a pregnant woman can experience or do—alcohol or drug use, smoking—that can mess up the eventual kid. The question is about traumas that fall between these two poles. Combing through the scientific literature—we didn’t go trolling on the crackpot sites for this stuff—we find the following remarkable assertions: The prevalence of autism among children in Louisiana increased with the severity of prenatal exposure to hurricanes. A higher-than-expected number of craniofacial malformations and heart defects were found in babies born to women whose older child died unexpectedly during the pregnancy. Being a crime victim or experiencing the death of a relative was associated with increased risk of—get ready for this, LoDub—spontaneous abortion. OK, you seem to have dodged that particular bullet. But you did say you wondered about the long term. To be clear: maternal stress can be bad for a fetus. When life gets rough, what are collectively known as stress hormones circulate in the bloodstream. In a pregnant woman, these can be shared with the fetus, possibly affecting brain and body development. Three areas of the developing brain seem especially sensitive to stress hormones: the hippocampus, which plays a role in memory; the amygdalae, involved in mood and emotional responses; and the frontal cortex, implicated in decisionmaking and attention. One study found a link between maternal stress during the first trimester and poor attention span and concentration in the resultant offspring. Another found children of highly stressed mothers exhibited more crying, irritability, and temper tantrums as well as ADHD, schizophrenia, and depression. Some claims are harder to swallow. Several researchers have looked into the consequences of maternal stress due to weather disasters and other unpredictable events, on the theory that these “natural
experiments” offer a more objective demonstration of stress. I listed a few such findings above; here are a couple more: One study of children of mothers who had experienced high stress while pregnant during a 1998 Quebec ice storm found they had lower IQs and language scores than kids of low-stress moms. Another study found children of women who’d lived through a major earthquake during pregnancy had a higher incidence of depression. At first glance the problems attributed to prenatal stress in these cases seem implausibly diverse. Conceivably each type of natural disaster has a signature outcome, but a simpler explanation is that the results are happenstance and non-confirming findings weren’t written up. One research team (Kinney et al, 2008) suggests the bad things supposedly produced by stress aren’t as random as they seem. Rather, they argue, reduced intelligence, poor language skills, depression, and so on are part of a cluster of conditions associated with autism. Among other things, they point to that Louisiana hurricane research, conducted by another Kinney-led team, which found autism diagnoses were significantly higher among children whose mothers had had the severest exposure to storms during several critical months of pregnancy. But the number of autism cases was tiny—167 children out of more than 300,000 born during hurricanes. Sure, maybe natural disasters triggered autism in a handful of vulnerable babies, but that just meant a then-rare condition got slightly less so. This points to a larger problem. Even if all the claimed effects of stress are genuine, so what? Most expectant women already know they shouldn’t expose their babies to avoidable everyday stress, and natural disasters and such are usually unpredictable. Even if we acknowledge that calamities merely highlight the dangers of lesser traumas, telling pregnant women they should avoid having anything go wrong in their lives during gestational months 5, 6, 9, and 10 would surely take the prize for stupid advice. Most children exposed during such times develop normally; any intimation to the contrary would create maternal stress galore, magnifying the problem you were trying to reduce.
