San Jose’s acclaimed Adega plans its final Michelin-style meals, including an 11-course NYE menu

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:34:57 GMT

The final December reservations are filling up for Adega, the Portuguese standout that became San Jose’s first-ever Michelin star honoree in 2016.In July, owners Carlos and Fernanda Carreira announced the end-of-year closure of the acclaimed restaurant that opened in 2015 in the city’s Little Portugal neighborhood, with David Costa in the executive chef role then and now. They plan to transform the space into the second outlet of their more casual concept, Petiscos, which is located in downtown San Jose, in early 2024.“We are so overwhelmed by the well-wishes and sincere sadness that so many have expressed,” Carlos Carreira said. “Many have even begged us not to close Adega, or at least not just yet. We tell them that we are simply ‘saving it up in the cloud’ (to use Silicon Valley tech language) and who knows what the future has for Adega? The brand and the business itself will remain active for the foreseeable future.”Meantime, he said, &#...

Here we go again: ‘Mamma Mia’ back on Bay Area stages

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:34:57 GMT

There are all kinds of touring musicals. Some of them feel like once-in-a-lifetime theatrical events. Some are long-anticipated glimpses of what all the fuss was about in New York or elsewhere. A few even start their Broadway-bound journey right here in San Francisco.And then there are the shows whose draw lies greatly in comforting familiarity.Coming to San Francisco and San Jose on its 25th Anniversary North American Tour, the Abba musical “Mamma Mia!” certainly falls into the latter category. It’s a show that people have either seen or at least seen around a lot, after many tours and countless local productions. And then there was the star-studded 2008 movie that even had a sequel (2018’s “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again”), digging up more Abba songs that didn’t make the cut for the original.As a jukebox musical of the 1970s Swedish pop phenomenon’s greatest hits, “Mamma Mia!” relies heavily on nostalgia appeal to begin with. That hankering for days gone by is baked into playwright C...

GOP presidential hopefuls use Trump’s COVID record to court vaccine skeptics

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:34:57 GMT

Darius Tahir, Daniel Chang | KFF Health News (TNS)Former President Donald Trump often seems proud to advertise his administration’s record on speedily developing COVID-19 vaccines.On the campaign trail to win another term in the White House, though, he also has knocked the use of those very vaccines. In October, for example, he unleashed a barrage of social media attacks on Ron DeSantis’ pandemic record by reposting claims that the Florida governor — who is running against him in the Republican presidential primaries — was too active in vaccinating Sunshine State residents.In a further twist, Trump simultaneously circulated an MSNBC article suggesting DeSantis wasn’t vaccinating his constituents enough.Trump’s tap dance — touting Operation Warp Speed’s success at developing vaccines while criticizing vaccine use — is emblematic of how pandemic politics are intensifying broader vaccine politics. Republican presidential candidates currently trailing the former president in polls are c...
