Dishing Up: A Little Bit of Heaven
True, the movie is a candidate for straight to video; but on that level it has merit. Much less frothy than some of Kate Hudson's other fare such as: Bride Wars, My Best Friend's Girl or You, Me and Dupree, A Little Bit of Heaven is basically the female equivalent of Joseph Gordon Levitt's 50/50.

Cooking Competition TV Show Coming To Philly!
Here’s an exciting opportunity for my Philly readers. A casting agent contacted me to ask if I’d post information about a new reality cooking show. It’s called BEAT THE CHEFS and part of the fun is it’s kinda like “The Family Feud” in that you gather up family & friends to help with the competition, they call them your sous chefs. Below are all the particulars. The email said they’ll be holding Philly auditions very soon, but didn’t give exact dates. If you get a chance to compete, please let me know, as I would love to do a feature post on your experience with BEAT THE CHEFS! CALLING ALL…

Just a Taste: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Aging – without proper retirement funds, without a spouse, needing a hip replacement, feeling too old to be desirable, put out to pasture, needing closure with a person you fell in love with over 40 years ago. These are all rather depressing subjects; yet, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is anything but depressing. It’s lively, humorous and quick-witted. Although you’d expect nothing less from such a stellar cast of veterans: Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Celia Imrie and Ronald Pickup. Each plays a character who has reached an advanced stage in their life where they are in need of a change of…

Philly Restaurant – White Dog Cafe (XPN Music Film Fest)
I was pretty good both calorie and pocketbook wise, and brought snacks to eat during most of last weekend’s XPN/PFS Music Film Festival, but I did dine out twice – Saturday night with a friend at The White Dog Cafe. This used to be my very favorite restaurant, I still love the vibe, but now I’ve had a few mediocre meals there in the last few months. FINGERLING POTATO SKINS $7 (Sorry no pic, we ate them before I remembered to snap one) Green Meadow Farms Smoked Bacon, Lancaster Aged Smoked Cheddar, Lime Sour Cream – Not nearly as tasty as they sound – 2 Tines BUFFALO VEGAN CHEESESTEAK $11…

Philly Restaurant – Tria (XPN Music Film Fest)
My other dining experience during the music film festival was Sunday afternoon at Tria (3131 Walnut Street). My sister had given me a gift certificate for Christmas and this was the perfect time to make use of it. This spot used to be called Biba, same owner, Jon Myerow who has Tria cafes in Rittenhouse Square and Washington Square West. But this location was going to focus on wines, so it was given a different moniker. However, now it appears to just be a 3rd Tria. Tria does a great thing called Sunday School, where they choose a selection of beers, wines and cheese, give a detailed description and price…
