The pair filmed a super sweet video to promote her new memoir and it was just like old times as the super model appeared next to him in an empty restaurant and sat down at his table The two bantered back and forth as she made a big show of autographing his copy of her book as well as a sweet snapshot of the co-stars leaning into one another "📖🍽️🤍," the comedian captioned the sweet post Fans were completely obsessed with the reunion between "The BEST❤️🙌," with several affirming that it "put a huge smile on my face." "So wonderful to see you two together "You both were the best together in the movie," another complimented "Glad you reunited ❤️." "You guys gave us some of the best movie scenes ever!" one follower agreed "Wish we could go back to those 'good ole days,'" somebody else admitted "thanks for the memories ☺️." "this makes my kid heart singgggggg 😢❤️👏," another agreed Last summer, the pair reunited as well, evoking just over 40 years worth of nostalgia seeing as the original Vacation film was released in 1983 Thanks to all who sent in word about the recent filming in Chevy Chase DC: “There are a bunch of trailing at Conn Ave and Livingston and a no parking sign for a “production” company Rumor from a passer by is that Parthenon Restaurant on Conn Ave is getting renovated for some TV show.” I stopped by over the weekend too and was told it was filming for a “food show on cable tv” For some reason I saw the bicycle store was closed too To be clear, it’s not important to me that Chase liked the flick The infamous curmudgeon/jerk/racist is lucky a generation’s worth of tall white dudes see him as a comedy icon There will always be people willing to stand up for him That’s because he has a firm place in comedy history both for his films and for being an inaugural cast member on Saturday Night Live he is a character in Reitman’s movie and a surprisingly sympathetic one at that You don’t leave your seat rooting for Chase He’s presented in all his legendary arrogance What the film does well is show that he was an immense talent and was possibly a tool of network bigwigs to sway advertisers It’s a more nuanced portrayal than Chase possibly deserves especially considering how he reacted to seeing it Reitman recently appeared on David Spade and Dana Carvey’s podcast Fly on the Wall which gives an inside look at the famed show he revealed how Chase responded to the film when it was screened for him and he is there with [wife] Jayni and they watch the film and he comes up to me after and he pats me on the shoulder and goes you should be embarrassed,’” the director told the former cast members That sounds exactly like the response I’d expect from a man who has spent decades making himself impossible to work with as Carvey and Spade are more than familiar with Chase “You couldn’t even write it better,” Spade explained with Carvey saying “knows that’s funny like that’s the roughest thing you could say to a director in the moment or right up there.” The duo aren’t wrong it would just have to come out of someone who isn’t so proudly a miserable prick Were Chase anyone with even a shred of humility Reitman tried to give Chase that legacy in the film Saturday Night probably isn’t going to change how people remember Chase, but there are scores of idiots on TikTok who think Helen Keller is fake or some such nonsense Saturday Night could be all people know of Chase in 30 years and his portrayal isn’t nearly as bad as it could have been I’m getting my own Chevy Chase moment that’s 1,000 percent only for me right now.’ And from a comedy point-of-view that’s really pure and that’s kind of cool,” he explained I just spent like two years of my life recreating this moment and trying to capture Chevy perfectly find the humanity and give him a moment to be loved — no He’s not talking about that stuff.” It is folly for Reitman to think he’s the one who could break through all of Chase’s horseshit The man was never going to heap praise upon the director Reitman’s dad refused to work with Chase on Memoirs of an Invisible Man due to his aforementioned habit of being an a**hole There was no chance he was going to be nice about this despite Reitman’s apparent intentions I’m not going to lose sleep over Chase’s miserable existence but it is undeniably sad that he can’t find it within himself to not be a jerk for two seconds it’s a bad joke because of who he is We should all do our best to live a life where if someone hears a s***ty story about us it doesn’t elicit a response like “classic.” Chevy Chase has done the opposite Maybe he saw a little bit of humanity in the film and it scared him back on his insecure hind legs He saw someone try to treat him like a person and all he could do was attack What's Hot: 262-Unit Development With 'Main Street' Retail Pitched For Columbia Pike by UrbanTurf Staff ✉️ Want to forward this article?

however, her newest series, “Pati Jinich Explores PanAmericana” dispels any of those ideas nearly immediately they were putting a reindeer sausage inside of a flour tortilla with ketchup and calling it a burrito,” Jinich said of one scene from an episode in the new season “If you had told me that I would [be served that] This gets to the heart of what Jinich’s show is about and why it is a slight departure from her more cooking-focused programs In “Pati Jinich Explores PanAmericana,” Jinich looks to tell the stories of those who came here from elsewhere As the granddaughter of Polish refugees who escaped pogroms and the Holocaust Americans and others who had a tough road to freedom matters a lot to her “My hope [with this show] was to take my personal connection [of] being a Mexican immigrant in the U.S and coming from a long line of refugees to connecting with peoples in the Americas that have these [same] stories,” she said a fact abundantly clear to this day thanks to her thick accent Her father’s parents were Polish farmers who fled pogroms and ended up in Mexico while her mother’s parents came later in an attempt to escape the Holocaust Both sets of Eastern Europeans ended up in Mexico Jinich was raised with an appreciation for Jewish and Ashkenazi culture She said that a beautiful struggle comes from people being displaced from their homeland and it often yields little moments that the show aims to highlight Jinich met with other Eastern European refugees who came to North America much later than her family but for similar reasons “We were meeting with some Ukrainian families in Edmonton and the newcomers who have come fleeing the war realized that there were Ukrainian families from three generations ago that were making dumplings and singing songs that had been banned in Ukraine under the Communist rule,” she said Jinich lives in Chevy Chase now and is based professionally in the D.C the job demands that she is always on and always moving Jinich said that some might not realize how much work it is to create a program like this “I come back home after these filming trips and I am completely exhausted,” she said “I am drained from really opening up and connecting so much but mostly I feel a deep responsibility to do right by their trust.” Jinich shared a number of touching examples from her time in Alaska which was highlighted in the first episode of the show woman who had worked in law enforcement for two decades told Jinich about her change to charity work “She said she realized that [she] was just putting her own people in jail “She got out of the system and now she has a nonprofit where she’s helping people start businesses that have to do with their culture.” These connections are often forged via food but that eating together serves as a jumping off point Jinich loves nothing more than a good bagel — except a good bialy bialys formed an exemplary anecdote for Jinich “I used to eat bialys with my Polish grandfather in Mexico City when I was really young we would eat them with cheese and sometimes some mashed avocado I was sitting there [in Alaska] eating the most perfect bialys … overlooking the mountains,” she said “I was just thinking about if my grandfather were alive and I were to tell him that I am taking a bite of a bialy in Alaska with a man whose [grandfather] comes from the town next to my grandfather’s town … we could have been neighbors in Poland.” and moments like this remind her of the power of storytelling and the importance of preserving Jewish history [email protected] and website in this browser for the next time I comment Zoning Commission voted unanimously on Jan to approve amendments to the Zoning Regulations and Zoning Map to create two new Chevy Chase Neighborhood Mixed-Use Zones (NMU-4/CC1 and NMU-4/CC2) along the upper portion of Connecticut Avenue N.W The new NMU-4/CC1 zone will apply to most of the commercial corridor along Connecticut Avenue N.W. low-density commercial and moderate-density residential uses generally consisting of ground-floor retail The new NMU-4/CC2 zone will apply only to the Chevy Chase Civic Site on Connecticut Avenue N.W.

saffron yellow trim in the dining room; rusted auburn fabric on a living room sofa; cerulean blue tiles along their son’s bathroom “I like complex colors and unexpected combinations and Jenn didn’t shy away from that,” explains Farmer of their collaboration “I felt like she really understood how to manage the quirkier parts of the historic house in such a way that the flow of our entertaining space is immaculate,” shares Tulumello While Tulumello placed her full trust in Farmer she was admittedly a touch hesitant initially about the deep hues “As the project went on and she was able to be in the house at different times of the day and experience how the scale of the spaces and layouts create quite a light atmosphere Farmer called upon an eclectic melange of periods and styles to build out the home “We wanted to find a mix of interesting magic of pieces that juxtaposed against the architecture of the house; to create a tension between pieces that one might not expect to see together.” with moments of unexpected pairings unfolding all over the house where a rigid brutalist brass game table stands just a few feet from a wabi sabi coffee table crafted from Japanese burl wood where a bronze and alabaster 1920s Art Deco pendant hangs above an Italian dining table which is surrounded by Studio Van den Akker dining chairs that feel midcentury with their softly curved legs and enhances them,” Tulumello says of Farmer ‘what does this house want to be?’ We wanted to honor the home and give it its next happy iteration while maintaining its integrity and her framework for design allowed us to do just that.” “Nina understood inherently that we wanted to elevate the house to give it a warmth and depth so as to make it almost unrecognizable as a Washington-specific property,” remarks Tulumello we wanted our family house to reflect our varied experiences of who we’ve been and how we want to live into the future.” “Nina came to me and said that we should go for a shade of high gloss brown for the bedroom not in a million years would I paint my ceiling brown—that seems crazy!’” recalls Tulumello with a laugh warm shade and really grounds the room in the palette of the wider house.” You could tell right when you met her that she dresses and understands aesthetics very well I wanted to give her and Drew something that felt elevated and bright with a mix of vintage and antique where they could host gatherings and entertain but also where their kids would feel comfortable and at ease obviously nothing too precious,” explains Farmer The Ancient Surfaces tub of the primary bathroom had to be lifted through the windows via a crane stationed outside and suspended from the ceiling until the wainscoting was complete and the tub could be placed in the proper spot but what a stunning outcome,” says Tulumello the jewel tones continue in the tile that Farmer sourced from Portugal “I love having my coffee on the enclosed back porch. It offers a gorgeous view of our garden, which surprises me with new pops of colorful blooms around the seasons,” muses Tulumello.

That led to her first late-night Thai pop-up Toh Roong—short for “night market”— in 2018 at McCoy’s burger joint Lucky Buns She’s continued to showcase her fiery cooking and noodle dishes at a number

Colorado native and University of Pennsylvania grad (7News) — A Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School student was reportedly seen showing off a gun in a school bathroom prompting a swift response from authorities on Tuesday Students who witnessed the incident immediately reported it leading to a school lockdown as police searched for the student and the weapon The student was eventually located off campus and detained by police The gun was later identified as an airsoft gun READ| Student arrested after Bethesda-Chevy Chase placed on lockdown for alleged gun on campus This incident comes just a week after a separate off-campus altercation among students ended with a gunshot some students have expressed a desire for weapons detection systems to be implemented in their high school The head of the school boosters noted that while some parents are opposed the majority support the return of full-time police officers to high schools School resource officers were removed from Montgomery County Schools in 2021 County Executive Marc Elrich argued that their presence was a source of stress for students and did not ensure safety “I’m a little unhappy with the current situation.” Elrich explained that his agreement with the school system involves assigning community engagement officers to each high school These officers are to have an office on campus and be visible during key times such as arrival “It has a value to be present there because they can get there much quicker,” said Elrich Elrich explained some principals have opted to have the officers only be in the schools when called 7News also learned the BCC officer was not in the school when the gun was reported County Assistant Chief Administrative Earl Stoddard said that he will be meeting with school officials on safety in the near future “The school system has acknowledged this implementation has been inconsistent across different schools and they’re looking to improve that.” As for the implementation of weapons detection systems similar to those installed in every high school in Prince George’s County A spokesman for the school system declined 7News’ request to interview the Superintendent of schools and the head of school safety but sent this statement in response to our questions: “We are exploring weapons detection systems for potential use in our schools but no immediate implementation is planned at this time It’s important to understand that no security measure Any potential implementation would require planning and integration with existing safety protocols MCPS has a Memorandum of Understanding with MCPD and the County Gov that guides the Community Engagement Officer program.” because the Fletch and Vacation star told him exactly what the thought after watching the comedy… and

Read our Privacy notice Home Alone director Chris Columbus has recalled “the most surreal, bizarre” encounter with Chevy Chase that left him unable to work with the actor The filmmaker, who also directed the first two Harry Potter films, almost added 1989 film National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation to his list of credits – but stepped away after a leftfield comment made by Chase Breakfast Club director John Hughes enlisted Columbus to direct the film, following which he met with the controversial Chase who starred in the lead role as Clark Griswold He told Vanity Fair: “I was signed on… and then I met Chevy Chase. Even given my situation at the time, where I desperately needed to make a film, I realised I couldn’t work with the guy. Columbus added: “I was one of the many who couldn’t work with him. And I called John and I said, ‘This is really hard for me, but I can’t do this movie with Chevy Chase.’” The reason for Columbus’s view was a rather odd interaction with Chase, in which the pair were meant to discuss the film. However, instead of responding to Columbus’s vision, Chase simply said nothing for 40 minutes. “I talked about how I saw the movie, how I wanted to make the movie. He didn’t say anything. I went through about a half hour of talking. He didn’t say a word. And then he stops and he says – and this makes no sense to any human being on the planet, but I’m telling you. I probably have never told this story. “Forty minutes into the meeting, he says, ‘Wait a second. You’re the director?’ And I said, ‘Yeah … I’m directing the film.’ And he said to me the most surreal, bizarre thing. I still haven’t been able to make any sense out of it. He said, ‘Oh, I thought you were a drummer.’ I said, ‘Uhh, OK. Let’s start talking about the film again.’ After about 30 seconds, he said, ‘I got to go.’” After a similar experience the second time they met, Columbus called Hughes to tell him he would “not make a good movie with this guy”, which the latter understood. The film was eventually directed by Jeremiah S Chechnik and Columbus directed Home Alone instead, Chase’s time on hit sitcom Community was mired in controversy after creator Dan Harmon claimed the actor would try to disrupt co-star Donald Glover’s scenes and “make racial cracks between takes” because he was “jealous” of his co-star’s talent. “I remember apologising to Donald after a particularly rough night of Chevy’s non-PC verbiage, and Donald said, ‘I don’t even worry about it,’” Harmon said at the time. Glover added that he saw Chase as “fighting time”. Chase responded to the claim, saying he was “saddened to hear that Donald perceived me in that light”. In 2012, a source told The Hollywood Reporter that Chase had “apologised immediately” after he used the N-word on set. The slur was not aimed at Glover or his Black co-star Yvette Nicole Brown, but used when Chase questioned dialogue in a scene with their characters, said the source.
