Philly Spotlight: Entrepreneur Works – TASTE OF SUCCESS
15th Annual TASTE OF SUCCESS: A Cook-off/Bake-off Event Supporting the Philadelphia Region’s Local Entrepreneurs By Le Anne Lindsay, Tinsel & Tine Editor I’ve been aware of Entrepreneur Works for some time, so it’s odd that this was the first year knowing about and attending their Cook-off/Bake-off contest called “Taste of Success”, which is in its 15th year. 12 food entrepreneurs got the chance to enter a winning appetizer or dessert in a competition for cash prizes. The contestants were judged by two top local chefs: Chef /Owner Joncarl Lachman of NOORD and Chef/Owner Lee Styer of FOND. For the fifth consecutive year, Taste of Success was hosted by Jim Donovan,…

Movie Podcast Post: Le Anne Lindsay on THE MICHEAUX MISSION – TALK TO ME
Tinsel & Tine Makes a Guest Appearance on the Popular Podcast: THE MICHEAUX MISSION By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I’ve contributed to many post-screening Spoiled Tribbles Episodes. In fact, just did one for The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (listen). And most every Tuesday at 3:45pm, I contribute a movie segment to That’s Show Biz with Chuck Darrow, but that’s less than 10 minutes and although Chuck can sometimes serve me a curve ball, I normally stick to my script. But when Len & Vince asked me to be a guest on their The Micheaux Mission podcast, I was pleased, but apprehensive, cause it’s an hour…

CHUCK (The “Real Rocky”)
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Chuck Wepner in Philadelphia for Q&A after Screening of His Biopic CHUCK When Chuck Wepner was introduced to the Philadelphia audience in attendance at PFS’s Prince Theater for the preview screening of CHUCK, the first thing he said was that the only way he agreed to have his real story told was if there were no sugar coating; he wanted it all out there – warts and all. It just so happens that some guys can wear warts like badges of honor, because Chuck, played by “Ray Donovan” lead Liev Schreiber, is the kinda guy you root for, despite his many stupid choices, lost opportunities…

DIRTY DANCING: Win T&T Interview with Jennifer Mealani Jones
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Film to Stage Post: DIRTY DANCING The Classic Story Returns to Philly May 16 – 21 at the Merriam Theater! I’m really looking forward to seeing the Kimmel Center Broadway stage adaptation of Dirty Dancing, some movies are hard to picture going from the screen to live theater, but I think this one will lend itself. And great timing as the movie is celebrating it’s 30th Anniversary! So sad we lost Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey’s real nose since the musical romantic drama took the box office by storm back in 1987, and became a beloved favorite for subsequent generations. For me, it’s not quite…

Food in Film: JEREMIAH TOWER: THE LAST MAGNIFICENT
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor The artwork for the poster is what first drew me to this documentary, as most regular readers know, the “Tine” in Tinsel & Tine stands for the tines of a fork, so when I saw the “Jeremiah Tower” poster of the fork giving the middle tine, like a middle finger, it made me laugh! But when I got to the theater, I saw trailers for the new Richard Gere movie The Dinner and the rare glimpse of Debra Winger in The Lovers, and suddenly I really wanted to see a narrative film, not a doc on a temperamental chef. Surprisingly, I got what I was…
