No Strings Here we were, giggling, sharing good friends’ stories, just we two girls, intrigued by the music on the patio while enjoying the casual elegance of the Hedley Club. We had finished our glass of champagne and appetizers, asked for our bill and the server surprised us with the fact that we had been “sponsored” by you, the man by the window. Had our eyes ever met ...? NO. Had you tried to engage with us … ? NO. Michelle and I were tortured that we couldn't acknowledge your generosity and at the same time titillated by the fact that true chivalry has not completely disappeared off the face of this earth.

ust because you can doesn’t mean you should—it’s a good rule for many things in the kitchen, and perhaps pizza toppings in particular. Any food can be placed on a pizza crust, but does that really mean one should cover a pizza in Thai basil barbecue chicken and cilantro?

Honey, chili peppers, arugula and lemon zest are among the seemingly illadvised toppers for the thin-crust, wood-fired pies at Vesta, but this is not strictly a case of creativity for creativity’s sake. The Redwood City eatery balances the novelty of some of its ingredients with thoughtfully paired flavors on the pizzas that are its signature dish. My companion’s Sausage & Honey pizza ($19) arrived topped generously with pieces of Italian sausage, the heat of which was boosted by the accompanying thin slices of serrano pepper. However, the heavy drizzle of honey over the pie doused the heat and complemented the touch of sweetness in the tomato sauce. Mascarpone further cooled the spiciness. The Burrata pizza ($18) was dotted with dollops of the creamy, slightly gooey cheese. A sprinkle of basil played up the freshness of the cheese and the rich tomato sauce while a small salad bowl’s worth of arugula heaped over the pizza added an appealingly bitter edge. But the pie wanted one or two more ingredients—maybe additional produce like tomatoes—not only to unite the aggressiveness of arugula with the delicate flavor of the burrata, but also to add interest to the pie’s rather limited textures. Vesta’s pizza menu includes a little more than half a dozen pizzas, divided just about evenly between red pies (with tomato sauce) and white (without). One of the specials was a white pie, the Spring Vegetable pizza, which was topped with goat cheese, shaved asparagus, English peas and cherry tomatoes, all sprinkled with lemon zest. Apart from a touch of cognitive dissonance (shouldn’t something this lemony be dessert?) the fresh flavors of the vegetables and the citrus complemented the subtle bitterness of the crust. At Vesta, if it’s not a pizza or a salad, chances are it’s a grilled dish—and the kitchen has proven equally inventive with the grill as the pizza oven. Vesta’s grill elevates lowly carrots, so often relegated to a disappointing side dish, to an inspired starter. Grilling brings out the carrots’ sweetness, which is balanced by a lightly spicy mix of cilantro, paprika, cumin and garlic. The grilled carrots ($8) are finished with a couple spoonfuls of lemon yogurt. Cauliflower also gets a new interpretation thanks to the grill. For a cauliflower small plate ($9), it’s quartered, charred on a couple sides and served with toasted almonds, currants and a bit of serrano chile. Honey complements the almonds and currants well, and a topping of breadcrumbs adds even a little more crunch. —Heather Zimmerman VESTA 2022 Broadway St, Redwood City. 650.362.5052 or vestarwc.com.

Twenty-six Japantown storefronts will set up pouring stations for the open-air walk, which starts at 5:30pm with a kagami-wari ceremony—a sake cask-opening ritual. Ticket-holders can sample sakes from both Japan and the U.S. along with some rice crackers, cookies and other snacks. Dancers and musicians will be stationed at street corners and storefronts and restaurants will open up for people to shop and eat. “You really get a sense of Japantown at this event,” says Julie Hubbard, activities coordinator for the senior center. The walk, which runs from 5:30 to 8:30pm along Jackson Street between Third and Seventh streets, costs $40 to get in, $50 at the door. VIP tickets go for $60 and come with a Year of the Horse T-shirt and place in the express line at check-in. Money raised will help pay for hot meals for the elderly, fitness groups, technology classes and brown bag lunches for low-income members of senior center. —Jennifer Wadsworth

Dining Out BIRDS MIGRATE AS winter comes. Likewise, it’s easy to tell that summer’s approaching as the food trucks begin to gather in earnest once more. As devoted food truck diners know, this welcome warm season means no more huddling away from the wind alongside one of a mere handful of trucks, trying to shield a taco plate from the gusts—and avoid eating its paper wrapper at the same time. With summer (and thus, more agreeable weather for al fresco dining) ahead, one of the more established seasonal food truck events, the Los Gatos Food Fest, opened its third season last weekend. The summer event takes place every Friday, 5:30-9:30pm at La Hacienda, 18840 Saratoga-Los Gatos Road, Los Gatos. This gathering features a rotating lineup of trucks, and also serves beer, wine and cocktails. And to complement dinner and drinks, there’s live music every week, as well. Each week’s food truck and music lineup is announced here: facebook.com/LGFoodFest. —Heather Zimmerman

“People are always asking me, ‘you’re 6’10” and you don’t play basketball?’ I used to play sports when I was younger, but I’ve always been more into the arts than athletics,” he says. When he isn’t DJing, Cortez ON THE RECORDS Emilio Cortez, AKA creates custom paintings on DJ Too Tall, uses old vinyl records as old vinyl records for artists like canvasses for his paintings. Tiesto, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ryan Leslie and Snoop Dogg, and his work was recently chosen to show at Gallery 85’s exhibit, “Rethinkit,” opening May 22 as part of the Vernon Davis Foundation for the Arts. METRO: WHEN DID YOU START PAINTING?

Cortez: I started painting around the age of 10, but before that I was always drawing. I started playing around with graffiti on canvas, and I used to paint on skateboard decks with sharpie markers in high school. After that it progressed into getting down the techniques with the paints, so what I mostly do now is painting. About five years ago, back in 2008 when I first started DJing at San Jose State, I had a box full of random vinyls. I thought to myself, “well I’m not gonna play these, I might as well paint on them.’ From there, I started out with a couple and then people started noticing. It kind of progressed and it’s really been taking off recently. HOW DOES YOUR MUSIC AND YOUR ART INFLUENCE EACH OTHER?

I’ve always enjoyed DJing; it’s like an art form in itself. It’s fun to see everyone dancing, and to blend all the songs together. No matter what, I’m always giving it my all when I play. I try to keep them dancing all night no matter how many people are there. Every gig I have is like a new blank canvas, and my music is like a paint palette. I choose one song that I’m going to start with, then I’m constantly looking to see which song is gonna flow next and sound the best and work together to keep the vibe and keep the ambiance moving with the crowd. It all works together to make one big masterpiece; it’s basically painting through music. Music has always inspired my art. YOU’RE GRADUATING IN A COUPLE WEEKS. ANY PLANS FOR THE SUMMER?

I’ll definitely be working on a new series throughout the summer now that I’ll have more free time after I graduate. I have a whole famous Latinos and Latinas series I’ve been working on. I feel like a lot of times there isn’t much representation of Latinos and Latinas in artwork. There’s so many famous artists that are out there. There’s so much to be proud of that doesn’t ever get seen. Being Latino, I feel like this is one way that I can represent them and represent my culture, to show that I’m proud of all the accomplishments Latinos and Latinas have made. —Michael Rosa For more info, visit Instagram.com/DJTooTall or mixcrate.com/DJTooTall

ART WHEN WENDY MARUYAMA collected names of the 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into concentration camps during World War II, she wrote them on paper tags and assembled them into 10 tree-like cascades. Ten marked the number of government-run camps. The sobering art exhibit was meant to stand alone, a reminder of the human toll of the TAG TALE Dancer Ruth Ichinaga nation’s military-enforced xenophobia. performs in ‘When Dreams Yet since its inception in 2009, The Are Interrupted.’ Tag Project, a traveling installation on display through this month at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, has taken on new dimensions. From a purely visual experience that conveys the profound impact of the mass evacuation of Japanese Americans in 1942, the piece became performative by adding sound. Against the backdrop of those age-yellowed tags, a poet speaks about lives postponed and forced relocation into internment camps. She recites names of ‘When Dreams Were the incarcerated over music, slow and somber. This Interrupted’ Thursday, the exhibit takes on yet another component, one of physical movement. Sunday, May 25, 3pm “By dancing around these tags, we bring more life SJICA, San Jose to the story,” says Jill Togawa of Purple Moon Dance Free; donations Company. “The motion, and seeing these performers encouraged. interact with the objects, adds a depth of feeling.” Seating is limited. In choreographing the dance to accompany the RSVP to 408.283.8155. exhibit, she treated the ceiling-suspended tag displays as characters in a play. Dancers clad in period outfits—tweed pants or ankle-length wool dresses—brush up against them and spin the tag clusters. The rustle of paper becomes another element to the soundtrack. The spatial alignment shifts. “I have found it a different challenge to work through,” Togawa says. “I love the sounds of the tags, the movement of the tags, and the stoic silence of them too. They represent for me, witness, totem—sometimes a stake marking the place—and countless individual voices.” The comprehensive performance, titled When Dreams Were Interrupted, premiered in Berkeley in 2009 and has since traveled across California. This year, it touches down in the state’s few remaining Japantowns in Los Angeles, San Francisco and, for the first time this week for American Heritage Month and Memorial Day weekend, San Jose. In each community, the experience changes. A poet adds local stories collected from the annals of this shameful chapter in American history. They read names of people from the community who were imprisoned. They share pieces of their stories. Accompanying the tag displays, albeit in a separate venue, is another exhibit: “Executive Order 9066: Memories and Artifacts,” presented at the Japanese American Museum of San Jose. The display includes photographs and artifacts that show what people held on to when a presidential order culled them into relocation camps, what it was like to live inside them and what it was like to resettle after a life interrupted. “My mother cleaned other people’s houses,” the poet says in the Maruyama-Togawa production. “My father quit farming and I threw away my scholarship application. We were housed with other families in a local church for months. I met old acquaintances on the street and they looked the other way. The neighborhood had changed.”—Jennifer Wadsworth

What the Truck ON ONE LEVEL, Chef is harmless fooderotica about Carl Casper, a hard-working chef (director/writer Jon Favreau) who needs redemption. He sweat-equitizes a ďŹ lthy food truck and ďŹ nds fame selling Cuban pork sandwiches, while bonding with his cute son who has the bully-bait name, Percy (Emjay Anthony). He, Percy and sidekick (John Leguizamo) road trip. Twitter (which must have provided what the game shows call “promotional considerationâ€?) heralds the van as they drive. Though Casper lives in a drywall-lined apartment in Venice, he was once the man of a humungous Brentwood house, with gardeners and housemen stooping in the background. Ex-wife (SoďŹ a Vergara) encourages Casper to ďŹ nd himself, heedless of the alimony payments highliving ex-wives raising children like to receive. But there’s another girl in the picture: Casper’s hostess, Molly (Scarlett Johansson) oddly disguised as Krysten Ritter from Breaking Bad. What is the movie really about? In the ďŹ rst half, it’s about a chef ‌ no, a renowned movie director who made a ďŹ lm that opped. Let’s guess it was that persistent companion of the airline traveler, Cowboys and Aliens.

Meanwhile, more career agony, as restaurant Chef owner Dustin Hoffman talks like a producer trying to force R; 115 MIN a director’s hand: “if you went to see the Rolling Stones, you’d be disappointed if they didn’t play `Satisfaction’.â€? I can’t get no. Compare Chef with Ratatouille, which insists there are times when a critic takes a bullet for a real talent. So become an indie director, promote the work through social media, and get famous friends to cameo, such as Robert Downey Jr. providing a hilarious ďŹ ve minutes of double-talk. Ultimately deliver a movie that looks like an indie, is packaged like an indie, but which is a softball televisionistic feelgood whine. Favreau should have cast the tougher Vince Vaughn, so we’d feel some dramatic unease about the choices Casper made. Favreau’s artistic rebellion is mixedmetaphor clumsy: a cuddly teddy beating a straw man. —Richard von Busack
