restaurants, which include Georgie, Le Bilboquet, Knox Bistro and coming-soon Frenchie “It’s outside my comfort zone,” Courseau said of opening an Asian restaurant In the several years The Dallas Morning News has been discussing this restaurant project with Courseau he’s been hiring chefs and convincing them to move to Dallas “What really mattered was finding the right people,” he said Bruno Davaillon, a fellow Frenchman who moved to Dallas originally to work at the Mansion on Turtle Creek, has been on Courseau’s team since 2020 Courseau hired Hong Kong native Hou Lam “Dicky” Fung to be Le PasSage’s executive chef Chow in Las Vegas — one of Courseau’s favorite restaurants — enticed by the opportunity to work with the even-tempered Also on the team is executive pastry chef Dyan Ng who previously worked for Davaillon during his time in Vegas Dallas bartender George Kaiho, who left West Dallas bar Jettison (now closed) will work behind Le PasSage’s stunning white onyx bar The

challenging for the culinary team and curious for a diner Chow might find comfort in Le PasSage’s green prawns ($34) a dish of shamrock-colored shrimp made in homage to a similar stir-fried dish from Fung’s past job at Mr made with cubes of filet mignon in a lime sauce The five-spice duck breast ($42) is similarly intriguing and served with caramelized mango Chefs have added several vegan dishes to the menu The steamed Japanese eggplant ($14) with crispy chili soy glaze and a punch of Thai basil is so comforting — spicy but not painful — you may overlook it’s also meat- and dairy-free eat vegan and don’t feel like you’re being punished,” Courseau said Braised tofu with black shiitake mushrooms ($24) is another example If it seems like every Dallas restaurant these days are designed for

After working in the same circles for decades, eventually banding together after Davaillon’s Bullion closed the Frenchmen are circuitous when it comes to defining it and not focused on any one country or region in Asia It’s more of an endeavor to emulate restaurants like the ones Courseau enjoyed visiting with his wife during their twenty years living in New York where “all food is celebrated at the same level,” he says By presenting Asian food modified by French techniques Le PasSage is an attempt at “honest food that has a twist and makes you travel,” Courseau says The goal is to take recognizable dishes—shrimp toast shaking beef—and tweak them into “the best you ever had What drives us is to not repeat ourselves.” on the first floor; the retail and office spaces on the second

Chef and owner Bruno Davaillon has had a storied career and is considered one of the most influential chefs in Dallas Davaillon and owner Stephan Courseau plotted what the latter describes as “an Asian restaurant where French technique is applied in some dishes.” The team includes chef China with Hou Lam “Dicky” Fung who comes to Dallas from Mr Chow in Las Vegas who is overseeing the pastry programs at all of Travis Street’s restaurants “We are not a tasting menu restaurant but we want to be consistent with what we put on the plate,” Davaillon says He and the other principals on the culinary team for Le PasSage sat down with Eater Dallas to talk about six dishes that diners will find on the opening menu “The inspiration for this crudo was Tom Ka soup and it worked really well when you poured the soup hot on an oyster We decided this crudo could be a nice cold version for this season,” Davaillon says We need something French style-ish,” Davaillon says and we put it with a traditional soy and yuzu dressing with a little kick of fried garlic in it it’s a roasted eggplant; take the pulp out and cook it with caramelized onions and miso I hate when pasta dough is too thick or not cooked properly because it’s so simple to do but hard to achieve sometimes Originally we were trying to find the right ratio with the thickness of the dough and the filling inside When we roll it we add potato starch so that even if it’s thin it keeps everything together.” This is one of the restaurant’s vegetarian mains (there is also a braised tofu) made with chunks of roasted delicata squash “The nuts in it for a crunchy texture are almonds and a pine nut,” Davaillon says which give it more of a kick of spice and topped with cilantro as a compliment “It’s a take on roasted chicken with gochujang paste,” Davaillon says “This is Green Circle chicken from the East Coast; it’s beautiful and organic The jus is simple — chicken juice with yuzu it is — when you go to a good grocery story in France the average quality of chicken is 10 times better The way they raise the chicken is different For Americas in general its hard to pay for good chicken people expect a low price but its not sustainable to guarantee an awesome chicken.” cleaned and served only with scallions and ginger It is one of the most straight-forward Asian dishes we see and presented as simple in terms of its ingredients “This dish is authentic and 100 percent Cantonese because I am 100 percent from Hong Kong,” Fung laughs “I came across this amazing sugar called boola malacca; its from Malaysia and its a palm sugar I wanted to use it because I’d never tasted sugar like this before young coconut and a delicate coconut water gelee around it the flavors are similar but ube is more aromatic to me so I think it pairs better with the coconut And with our theme it fits well,” pastry chef Ng notes referencing the lavender colors throughout the restaurant Le PasSage's Dyan Ng is a nominee for Pastry Chef of the Year The Tastemaker Awards program is brought to you by The Yuengling Company, Brioche Gourmet, Still Austin Whiskey, Hornitos, Whataburger, Reyka Vodka, Silent Pool Gin, PicMe Events, and more to be announced soon.

It sounds like a play on the Exchange Food Hall in Downtown with fast casual options for everyday as well as full-service and private dining spaces It is also expected to house Rise & Thyme (coffee breakfast and grab-n-go bites by chef Patrick Byerly) There are very few imports from out of town that Eater Dallas is excited about with its focus on classic seafood dishes with a modern twist and sushi — literally all the dishes this town can’t get enough of This location will be a whopping 16,000 square feet but we’ll take it for a Catch roll and some Japanese wagyu Mot Hai Ba owner and chef Peja Krstic will open a second restaurant, which feels like a long time coming given the popularity, great reviews, and relatively small size of his current spot. Details are still scant There are a lot of restaurants slated to open in the Quad in Uptown this year and into next This Michelin Bib Gourmand sushi spot from Jae Park and chef Brian Kim is among them although information on the Dallas iteration of their lauded restaurant is still scarce it will offer Italian-American favorites like chicken parm and a prime rib dip sammie that sounds like a home run Hospitality Alliance will also open a trio of restaurants at this concert venue before year’s end.

Cette catastrophe naturelle s’annonce comme l’une des plus grandes tragédies ayant touché les outre-mer français Mais elle est loin d’être la seule : les territoires d’outre-mer français ont subi des catastrophes naturelles historiques au cours des deux derniers siècles Avec l’intensification du réchauffement climatique et la hausse de la température des océans les cyclones et événements climatiques extrêmes se font par ailleurs de plus en plus fréquents et intenses ces dernières décennies un séisme d’une magnitude de 8,3 secoue la ville de Saint-Pierre Entre 1 500 et 2 000 personnes perdent la vie tuées par l’effondrement de centaines de bâtiments Le séisme détruit une grande partie de la ville et provoque des éruptions secondaires et des incendies même si la ville de Fort-de-France est moins touchée Cette catastrophe naturelle marque un tournant dans l’histoire de la Martinique soulignant sa vulnérabilité face aux éléments C'est probablement la plus grande tragédie de l’histoire des territoires d’outre-mer français et de l’histoire des catastrophes volcaniques une violente explosion volcanique provenant de la Montagne Pelée détruit entièrement la ville de Saint-Pierre et tue sur son passage 30 000 personnes en quelques minutes La majorité des victimes meurent dans l’instant de cendres et de roches incandescentes qui dévale les pentes du volcan Les dégâts matériels sont dévastateurs : Saint-Pierre est entièrement rasée L’éruption endommage aussi les villages voisins et cause des perturbations dans l’agriculture notamment dans les cultures de canne à sucre modifiant profondément le paysage et l’économie de l’île L’ouragan Okeechobee de catégorie 4 frappe la Guadeloupe le 12 septembre 1928 déchaînant des vents qui atteignent 230 km/h Environ 1 200 morts directes sont à déplorer principalement dues à des maladies et la misère qui ont suivi Les dégâts matériels sont alors estimés à plus de 800 millions de francs de l’époque un raz-de-marée emporte les structures encore debout et achève de défigurer la quasi-totalité de la ville ainsi que la plupart des bâtiments administratifs et commerciaux et les pertes agricoles infligent une profonde blessure économique à l’île C’est le cyclone le plus violent recensé sur l’île de la Réunion située en plein océan indien à l’est de Madagascar ses vents dépassant les 300 km/h s’abattent sur la capitale de Saint-Denis détruisant des centaines de bâtiments sur son passage endommageant les ponts et les infrastructures Les quartiers de Sainte Clotilde et du Butor qui noient des villes comme Saint-Paul ou Saint-Leu détruit la Guadeloupe de ses vents d’une puissance monstre de plus de 300 km/h Les dégâts humains et matériels sont considérables Une vingtaine de morts et des centaines de blessés sont recensés et plus de 35 000 personnes se retrouvent sans abri Près de 90 % des habitations sont endommagées Les infrastructures publiques sont gravement touchées les écoles et les réseaux électriques et d’eau potable les cultures de bananes et de canne à sucre a nécessité les années suivantes une mobilisation nationale pour les secours et une reconstruction de longue haleine La tempête Dorothy frappe la Martinique en novembre 1970 et est immédiatement classée comme une dépression tropicale forte Elle affecte principalement le nord et le centre de l’île et fait au moins 44 morts principalement dus aux inondations et aux éboulements causés par de fortes pluies Des milliers d’habitations sont endommagées ou détruites par les inondations et des glissements de terrain sont une nouvelle fois gravement endommagées ce qui rend très difficile l’accès aux zones sinistrées et l’économie de l’île se retrouve encore une fois très affaiblie Cette tempête met alors en lumière la vulnérabilité des infrastructures locales aux phénomènes climatiques violents Plus récent de l’histoire française mais aussi l’un des plus violents, l’ouragan Irma ravage en septembre 2017 Saint-Barthélemy et Saint-Martin 11 personnes perdent la vie et des milliers de personnes sont blessées 95 % des bâtiments sont détruits ou abîmés et une grande partie des habitants de l’île doivent être déplacés tout comme les ports et de nombreuses routes l’île de Saint-Barthélemy voit environ 50 % de ses habitations subir des dégâts et les routes inondées ralentissent l’arrivée des secours Les pertes matérielles dans les deux îles sont par la suite estimées à 3 milliards d’euros affectant durablement les infrastructures et les économies locales la crise climatique reste au cœur des préoccupations mondiales Alors que les effets du réchauffement climatique se font de plus en plus sentir il est crucial de faire le point sur les progrès accomplis et les défis à relever pour

alarmant de 17,16°C Cet épisode vient rappeler l'urgence de la situation et la nécessité d’intensifier nos efforts pour éviter des catastrophes encore plus graves Le réchauffement climatique entraîne des modifications majeures dans les écosystèmes : fonte des glaciers acidification des océans et perte de biodiversité deviennent également plus fréquents et intenses Les scénarios exigent des réductions drastiques des émissions mondiales des changements rapides dans l’énergie et les transports ainsi qu’une coopération internationale accrue Des éléments trop peu présents dans notre société pour y croire mais elle comporte des risques environnementaux et géopolitiques Il s’agit d’une option de dernier recours si la réduction des émissions échoue jouent un rôle clé dans la coordination

continuent de progresser repoussant les frontières de notre compréhension du monde Ce traitement pour combattre le cancer a connu des avancées significatives ces derniers mois notamment dans le

traitement du cancer du poumon offrant espoir et meilleures chances de survie aux patients Les actualités scientifiques de ces derniers mois témoignent de l'ingéniosité et de la persévérance des chercheurs du monde entier L’Express vous tient informé des enjeux scientifiques majeurs et de leurs répercussions sur notre quotidien French-Asian restaurant Le PasSage and the more casual Rose Cafe are both expected to open in early 2024 From inside the restaurants at Fitzhugh Avenue and Buena Vista Street in Dallas 25-foot-tall windows offer an expansive view of the Katy Trail Austin architect Michael Hsu designed the 8-story Terminal sophisticated building has 16 residences that start at about $3 million Courseau has been working on the building’s two restaurants for five years. Courseau was born in Paris and worked for Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Daniel Boulud in New York, before moving to Dallas to open restaurants in the tony Knox-and-Travis area: Le Bilboquet, Knox Bistro (formerly called Up on Knox) and Georgie by Curtis Stone on a specific neighborhood in Dallas that draws from the Park Cities His home is walking distance from all of his restaurants “It’s very important to stay anchored in the community, but to bring elements of who we are, because we are from elsewhere,” Courseau says. Chef-partner Davaillon, like Courseau, is from France. The two offer a spirit of professionalism and attention to detail that diners deserve — and that Dallas restaurants need. Le PasSage and The Rose Cafe will combine French technique with Asian ingredients in casual and upscale ways. The menus might lean Vietnamese, a cuisine Courseau grew up eating as a child in France. But the restaurants might draw from any part of Asia. “Instead of a regular croissant, a matcha croissant,” he says of a possible cafe menu item. “Instead of a French baguette, a bánh mì.” Davaillon and Courseau plan to hire an executive chef soon. All of their candidates currently live in Asia, and the new chef would be asked to relocate to Dallas. Inside sit-down restaurant Le PasSage, the kitchen will be on display like it is at Georgie. “I want to have restaurants where everyone is part of it,” Courseau says. “It’s a symphony. It’s important that everyone knows they have a role to play.” He envisions dinner there as a “voyage,” with beautiful cocktails, sake and a selection of wines from several continents. The restaurant seats 90, with room for 60 more on the Katy Trail patio. The cafe will be more of an all-day spot, with breakfast and espresso starting early, then transitioning into lunch and dinner, then into a wine lounge. On one side of the cafe, a pocket park called The Rose Garden is named for equity partner Harrison’s mother. The goal is “to do a restaurant that can stand its ground anywhere,” Courseau says.

opening of The Terminal at Katy Trail is an exciting time for all Dallasites in general and we’re thrilled to be a part of the neighborhood’s new and grand destination.” Travis Street Hospitality gets its name from Travis Street around which the restaurant portfolio is centered beginning with the 2013 opening of Le Bilboquet Dallas The artistic journeys of Annette Barcelona and Alyssa Morris two MFA candidates in FSU’s School of Dance have been shaped by their passion for dance since they were both four years old her path into the world of dance began by practicing ballet in her mother’s basement in Michigan with classical music playing from a “scratchy record player” and over the years learning at dance studios in New York and Washington D.C she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in dance education from Brenau University in 2013 and began pursuing her MFA in dance later that same year Morris – who has choreographed 30 musicals nationally – was inspired to followed in the footsteps of her older sister and spent summers at dance studios in Orlando she majored in music theatre but became interested in cinematography and creating narratives before graduating in spring 2012 She began pursuing her MFA in dance in fall 2014 in partial fulfillment of their MFA degrees Barcelona and Morris collaborated to create Le Passage du Temps a production exploring the historical roots of dance its present and offering insight into its future The title is French for “the passing of time.” the production was made up of a three-part ballet composition by Barcelona and a video dance by Morris the first time a video has been used as an MFA project in the School of Dance Both Barcelona and Morris were drawn to explore change and growth in both of their works pouring all their energies into their production with the help of dozens of undergraduate students over the past two years “Change is really the only constant and I believe in honoring tradition and history to better understand our present,” Barcelona says “And I wanted to explore: How much farther can we go?” “We tried our best to put our heart and soul into this,” Morris says Under the mentorship of FSU dance professor Anjali Austin for her three-part ballet Barcelona tapped into the deep repository of ballet history Named “Voyage pour l’amour,” or French for “Voyage for Love,” the first segment began with a tightly choreographed glimpse of 19th century ballet at it’s classical height complete with nine ballerinas performing graceful flowing movements while wearing Degas-inspired costumes set to music by Beethoven and Paul Cézanne’s 1874 painting “The House of the Jas de Bouffan” serving as the backdrop The second segment dealt with the 20th century neoclassical ballet era a period characterized by its departure from romantic ideals in favor of new movements illustrating the depth of human emotion  Barcelona performed “Elegie,” a more somber solo piece originally choreographed by the prolific ballet choreographer George Balanchine for his muse a famous ballerina who is now a dance professor at FSU It was aptly set to a live performance of Igor Stravinsky’s Elegie for Solo Viola played by FSU doctoral student Mihai Razvan Berindean was a collision of ballet’s past and present now that boundaries between ballet and modern dance are less rigid than they once were Set to a riveting score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross the piece also featured ballerinas wearing original tutus designed by Barcelona The segment will be presented at the 2016 American College Dance Association Conference later this year Barcelona has always been interested in the classical roots of ballet which dates back to 15th century Italian Renaissance courts and popularized during the reign of King Louis XIV of France in the 17th century “It’s so rich in creative genius,” Barcelona says “It was important for me to preserve the beginnings of those art forms because it will always ground what is happening now in the ballet world.” Recreating Elegie was one of her most enriching experiences a 2005 Kennedy Center honoree for her lifetime achievements in the world of dance describing her as a hands-on coach who helped hone her talent “She’s a legend in the ballet world,” Barcelona says “It was so special working with her and I could tell it was special for her too We carved out time to rehearse together and she was an incredible coach Having been classically trained for most of her life Barcelona admitted it was difficult to break from tradition for [Collide]oscope but chose to let her dancers improvise in the spirit of artistic exploration “I really tried to do what was not comfortable for me in the rehearsal process,” Barcelona says “So I chose to to leave a good bit up to chance and I let the energies of my dancers’ flow.” Barcelona hoped to instill among audiences “a sense of responsibility” to preserve their cultural history Morris created a 20-minute video dance with a team of eight undergraduate dancers as an avant-garde examination of a young woman’s isolation in the modern age society and social media – all while using new filmmaking technologies that could soon become part of the dance world it has also made it easier for people to isolate themselves from others “I was very interested in how connected we are,” Morris says “We have so much at our fingertips and it’s such a gift but there are other times when that’s not the reality Who-inspired vehicle for the female character’s transport through space and time the central female character throughout the video faces challenges to her identity from other women and men alike only to overcome them with resilience and inner strength – a strength and confidence displayed through the poise and grace of her dance movements throughout the video Morris herself performed (although in a secondary role) and composed two pieces of music in support of her video dance Portal was filmed in various locations on campus and Tallahassee the King Life Biology Greenhouse and the J.R Collecting over 10 and a half hours of film over six months the video dance took over 1,200 minutes of editing “When I first came to FSU I struggled to find my choreographic voice in dance,” Morris says “But video soon became an easy way for me to express myself And there’s always an allure in doing something first.” she hoped audiences learn about resilience when faced with challenges that isolation may bring it’s always important to just keep chugging along keep going through the portal that is life,” Morris says And by “most anticipated” we mean by Eater Dallas There are always loads of new restaurants opening in Dallas and the first half of 2024 promises to be no exception these are the ones that Eater Dallas is most excited about After getting pushed back from a late 2023 date, TD2 partner Tom Foley announced at a recent event at Roots Southern Table that Radici will be opening in March 2024.

The tune in question occurs in a big ensemble prayer as the Israelites stand by the Red Sea, just steps ahead of the Egyptian chariots. You may know it from Paganini’s oft-recorded “Moses Fantasy” for violin unaccompanied The whole opera turns out to be fascinating indeed 168 minutes is a lot of Rossini for some people Here we have what must be one of the longest of Rossini’s operas further expanded for performance at the Paris Opéra made when they were in splendid early-career voice Now Naxos (which has already made available two performances of the 1818 version the other on DVD) brings us the 1827 French work whose full title translates as “Moses and Pharaoh following certain of the primary sources for the work The excellent booklet essays by Annelies Andries and Reto Müller explain how Rossini and his French librettists rearranged the order of the 1818 opera’s scenes  (The Opéra insisted that any full-length opera include a ballet this requirement would lead Wagner to create the colorful Venusberg music for the Paris version of Tannhäuser.) The result is apparently the first complete CD recording of the 1827 French version and I recommend it heartily to anybody interested in the early history of French Grand Opera Here Rossini experimented — as he would again in Guillaume Tell — with finding ways to tell a story from the legendary past in a grand offering solemn passages for brass choir or a touching flute solo The latter opens the Act 2 aria in which the pharaoh’s wife pleads with her son to give up his love for the Hebrew maiden Anaï (It’s complicated because the plot elaborates wildly on the Bible story The mother herself has secretly accepted Jehovah as Lord A scene from the  production of Moïse und Pharaon in Bad Wildbad Particularly striking are the many descriptive passages such as when the skies brighten again after the plague of darkness is lifted (Rossini was surely thinking of the “Let there be light” in Haydn’s The Creation.) Or the turbulent closing of the Red Sea upon Pharaoh’s troops And then there are the reliable pleasures of any Rossini opera often blossoming into exquisite or passionate coloratura (depending on the situation) in sections that involve multiple cast members One of my favorite such passages is in the third-act finale: after Moses makes the statue of Isis collapse and the Ark of the Covenant then appears in the sky (as I said everyone expresses a kind of frozen astonishment for three glorious minutes to an accompaniment that features harp arpeggios (“Je tremble et soupire”—”I tremble and sigh”) you might be better off with a recording of the 1818 Italian version (such as the Scimone) The present recording comes from three staged performances in summer 2018 at the renowned “Rossini in Wildbad” festival (in Germany’s Black Forest region) and it bears some of the near-inevitable shortcomings when a complex work is recorded that way sounds even smaller because it is recorded without much resonance (Perhaps the mikes were pointed mainly at the stage and away from the orchestra in order to avoid catching rustling and coughing from the audience.) Also the chorus and soloists alike often sing slightly below pitch compared to the orchestra this same choral group is perfectly in tune with the orchestra — which helps one appreciate how gorgeously they sing God has afflicted Egypt with a plague of darkness is often slightly flat even when he is standing front and center This a problem that might have been fixed if the work had been recorded in studio sessions which allow multiple takes at different times of the day though Birkus has a sonorous voice that conveys Mosaic authority A scene from the  production of Moïse und Pharaon in Bad Wildbad in July Tenor Randall Bills is eloquent and convincingly heroic at the top end of his range though he is sometimes thin at the bottom is exquisite in the smaller role of Eliézer stylish singing: Luca Dall’Amico (as Pharaoh) is more precise than Birkus (Moses) but produces a less resonant sound a conductor I have not previously encountered in the Czech Republic) and chorus (from Poland) follow him to the hilt But the new CD recording gives you every note that Rossini wrote in a shapely and largely convincing performance and in the program books of major opera houses A version of this review first appeared in American Record Guide and here appears by kind permission Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" The Lady’s Dressing Room (1732) BY JONATHAN SWIFT Five hours (and who can do it less in?)

Patrick Moser, a professor of French who has written extensively about surfing, writes that this is a testimony to Hawai‘ians who kept surfing alive through the nineteenth century They did this in defiance of white missionaries who saw it as a profane Moser found numerous attacks on surfing in missionary-run Hawai‘ian-language newspapers in the first half of the century One 1838 story described the sport as “the root of lasciviousness.” A few years later another missionary writer complained that when the surf was good at one beach They stay until the time for gardening has passed.” Moser writes that previous histories of surfing asserted that it nearly stopped in the nineteenth century and was only revived in the twentieth thanks to white people taking an interest in the sport That follows the account given by the missionary Hiram Bingham in 1847 He said that “heathen sports” like surfing had “nearly disappeared,” thanks to missionaries’ efforts he asserted that “to-day it is hard to find a surf-board outside of our museum as private collections.” Emerson credited the sport’s decline to the “new morality,” which frowned on the “fact that both sexes engaged in it.” But an 1856 account by British travel writer Samuel S Hill suggested something quite different was happening he met several women who told him that “all the men were sporting with their surf-boards in the water.” Hill described surfing as “truly a famous and animating diversion and no longer played with the same spirit among the islanders whenever the Europeans are mingled among them.” Moser suggests that men like Bingham and Emerson saw only a small part of what was going on In Honolulu and some other parts of the islands missionaries greatly influenced people’s behavior in places where few white people were “mingled among” Hawai‘ians Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" Moser found plenty of reports from the 1860s and 1870s of Hawai‘ian royalty—some of whom had rocky relationships with the Christian missionaries—enjoying the waves at Waikīkī staged surfing displays for visitors to the islands as part of his efforts to revive traditional culture Hawai‘ian surfers were sharing their culture with other parts of the world An 1893 story in the Hawai‘ian Star reported that James Apu of Kaua‘i Island was giving surf-riding exhibitions in San Francisco more than white Americans who are often credited with “reviving” the sport who put surfing on the road to its current global reach Support JSTOR Daily!
