I saw you at the Weezer concert two weeks ago. And before that at the Oddball Festival. In fact, every concert this year you were right there, lighting up a joint. Not a care that others around you might not want to get high along with you. We find it strange that so much attention is put on "Don't smoke cigarettes around me, second hand smoke is deadly, etc" yet what about second-hand apathy and munchies from the constant whiffs of your THC-rich cannabis? Strange again that at Shoreline we were asked to put out our American Spirit when we lit up away from the crowd, yet in the crowd you toked endlessly, not a care at all for surroundings. Strange finally that we've evolved from smoking cigs and "drugs are bad k?" to "keep your second hand cig smoke away from me" and "Marijuana is promoted on commercials and in newspapers! (no offense Metro, but...yeah)

FEATURED CHEF
ANDREW SANTANA AND KAH LU: HAY MARKET San Jose natives Chef Kha Lu and sous chef Andrew Santana of Hay Market in Willow Glen both have accomplished résumés working in acclaimed restaurants. At Hay Market, the two San Jose chefs work with Joe Cirone, all equally determined to change the food scene one plate at a time with inventive dishes and carefully sourced produce and proteins. Kha Lu had no idea he would ever chose the restaurant industry for his passion or career. Initially going to school for business economics and getting his real estate license, he came to the restaurant business by chance after the real estate bubble burst in 2008. In need of a steady income, he went to work parttime in a restaurant, fell in love with it and never looked back. Andrew Santana, has been part of family-owned restaurants since he was born. His great grandparents owned a modest Mexican restaurant on Market street in San Jose, named Mexicali. The family legacy inspired him to go professional. Santana attended the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, where he graduated at the top of his class. Staying true to his South Bay roots, he decided work in San Jose. His first assignment: The opening team at Arcadia with Michael Mina. Both chefs have worked at the Michelin-starred Plumed Horse in Saratoga, under Chef Peter Armellino. After Plumed Horse, Lu moved to Chicago to work at the famous Charlie Trotter's. He then decided to move back to San Jose and make his name back home. After successfully working several positions at Plumed Horse, Santana teamed up with Kevin Wu and opened Mobowl. He spent the last couple of years traveling Europe, reconnecting with his wife's family in Sardinia and working at a friend’s pizzeria in Florence. When he's not with his loving wife and three children, he's in the kitchen along side his favorite people at Hay Market.

JOHN BURKE: LIQUID BREAD
As the executive chef of Liquid Bread in Campbell, John Burke brings together a résumé of fine dining experience and a love for craft beer at his popular new gastropub. The South Bay native is from a generation inspired by the early days of celebrity chefs and he cites Julia Child, Alice Waters and Wolfgang Puck as chefs who stirred up his interest in cooking and becoming a chef. Burke said he distinctly remembers visiting Wolfgang Puck’s Spago restaurant as an 11-year-old and being intimidated yet fascinated with the combination of flavors and culinary technique. Instead of paying the cost of culinary school, Burke started serving in restaurants and making his way into the kitchen where he was able to learn on the job. Burke served as sous chef at Travese, where his work contributed to the restaurant being awarded Michelin star recognition. Inspired by the beer and gastropub culture of San Francisco and Portland, Burke and friend Jordan Trigg pulled funds together to purchase a location in downtown Campbell to open Liquid Bread Gastropub. While most of his past restaurants have revolved around fine wines being paired to his food, Burke said he is much more a beer fan. He believes beer has just as many qualities as wine that make it suited for gourmet dining and wants Liquid Bread to demonstrate that. Working with his right-hand man and sous chef, Tyler Graham, Burke has developed an affordable, upscale menu that complements the beer using inspirations from American, Californian, French and Japanese cuisines.

RAMON SEPULVEDA: AGAVE MEXICAN BISTRO
Agave Chef Ramon Sepulveda began his restaurant career in Baja Mexico, working in various restaurants where he learned the secrets of Italian, American and Mexican cuisines. Sepulveda said this upbringing, with his culinary training in Italian and American cuisine, has greatly inuenced his current work at Agave, where the menu is a fusion of Mexican avor with fresh California ingredients. Originally from Guadalajara, Sepulveda said he took hospitality courses while in school but never structured culinary training. Instead, as the oldest of his siblings, he was always in charge of making food for his family. Because he learned from his mother and grandmother, he believes his food has a true homemade quality. Sepulveda said he was always attracted to the work of chefs and he wanted to be in a similar creative position. While working in Cabo San Lucas, Ramon met with owner Alexandro Garcia, who convinced him to join him to Agave with him in Pleasanton. Sepulveda said he is very happy with the creative freedom he was given and very proud when the restaurant was recognized among the best in the Bay Area. At Agave, the menu covers most of Mexican regions, but Sepulveda adds that there are many seafood dishes he brought from his time he spent on the Baja early in his career. In addition to the savory dishes of Mexican cuisine, chef Ramon said he equally enjoys playing with the dessert menu, chocolate being his favorite.

THE TW TWO T O FFACES ACES OF JJANUARY ANUARY
TRUE GURU More than 50 years after his death, Yogananda continues to inspire many, including Silicon Valley CEOs.
Soul Power
Of the ever-growing subset of indie films that might be described as “woo-woo New Age documentaries,” Awake: The Life of Yogananda by Paola di Florio and Lisa Leeman is one of the most valuable. Naturally, there is woo-woo in it—the closeup into the iris of a subject’s eye, revealing the galaxies of the universe, Phillip Glass thumping on the soundtrack, and some quotes from (groan) Deepak Chopra. Swami Yogananda’s 30-year mission to America began as a novelty of the 1920s and persisted post-mortem to influence Silicon Valley CEOs such as Marc Benioff and Steve Jobs. (At Jobs’ funeral, the mourners received copies of Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi.) Numerous interviews, from George Harrison to Harvard professor Dr. Anita Goel, suggest that Yogananda was the ideal guru by definition: someone who leads you to yourself, not himself. Of particular interest to the spiritually tone-deaf is Yogananda’s first decade in the USA. He was enough of a oneman craze that he spoke to Calvin Coolidge (a meeting worthy of E. L. Doctorow’s Ragtime). Yogananda was a magnetic figure, with a great head of hair, piercing eyes, and the kind of stoutness that looked positively regal. Attracting audiences nationwide, he epitomized America’s first real craving for
Wisdom of the East (the craze would begin again in the 1970s). As a man of color touring the South and the Klan-riddled Midwest, he caused great anxiety—the chief of the Miami Police Department claimed that the yogi had hypnotized him. Stories of Hindu menace made a free lunch for the yellow press (“QUEER LOVE CULT LURES MANY WOMEN” shrieked a headline.) Awake: The Life Looking for a way to of Yogananda describe the illusory quality of worldly life, PG; 87 min. Yogananda had a readyOpens Fri. made metaphor in a form of a popular 1920s technology. “This earth is nothing but movies to me,” he said, suggesting it’d be better to concentrate upon the light of the divine projector, rather than the screen. The founder of a “Church of All Religions,” he left behind yoga, a culture of mental and physical discipline. Accept or reject the claims of past-life regression, clairvoyance, or his ability to stop his heart, Derek Flint-wise. The worthy Yogananda passed on a pathway that requires neither pesky evangelists nor proof of the good it has done. —Richard von Busack

CONCERT
TRIPLE T Tony! Toni! Toné! are headlining the first-ever San Jose Music Fest
Return of the Tonies Though the weather is shifting and summer is officially over, those familiar with the Bay Area’s peculiar weather know that a few hot days still remain this year. And with the help of one of the biggest acts ever to come out of the East Bay, it’s going to feel like summer in October at Plaza de Cesar Chavez this weekend. That’s the site of the first-ever San Jose Music Fest, slated for this Saturday and featuring the seminal neo-soul outfit Tony! Toni! Toné!, along with Jingo Santana’s Roar (a Santana tribute band), local guitarist RJae Haas, Dakila, Lumbre and more. San Jose Music Fest It has been a quarter of a century since the Oakland-based group Tony! Toni! Toné! helped redefine what an R&B song could be, and according to the group’s guitarist and vocalist, D’wayne Wiggins, the band is still as forwardthinking as ever.
12pm-9pm, Oct 18, $10-$25 Plaza de Cesar Chavez sjmusicfest.vibesoccer. com/sjmf/
Wiggins says his group is currently working on new music and toward the release of a box set, which will feature all four Tony! Toni! Toné! full-length albums, T-shirts and other memorabilia. But as excited as he is for his upcoming shows and pending box set (set for release in 2015), Wiggins really wants to talk about technology and all the doors it has opened for Tony! Toni! Toné! The group recently listed its new song, “It’s a Beautiful Thing”—the first Tony! Toni! Toné! track in almost 20 years—on The New York Rock Exchange, which functions like a stock exchange for music, with fans buying and selling a limited number of certified copies of a song or album. It makes sense that Wiggins would be excited about The New York Rock Exchange. For starters, it was founded in his backyard—the company is based in Emeryville. Also, Tony! Toni! Toné! made its way to the top of the charts by pushing the boundaries. Wiggins’ band was one of the first groups to be identified as “neo-soul”—a label they garnered by combining hip-hop-style drum-machine beats and synthesizers with live instruments. With songs like “If I Had No Loot” and “Lay Your Head On My Pillow,” the band melded boom-bap rhythms and funky keyboard sounds with soulful vocals and guitars. It was a time when hip-hop was taking over the mainstream, but few artists in the R&B world were interested in the technology rap producers were using. Perhaps because the synth sounds available at the time were thought to be too gritty sounding. But Wiggins didn’t see it that way. “That’s what makes it so fly,” he says—“that dirty sound.”—Nick Veronin
