9. "Cutting-edge" singer songwriters Anais Mitchell and Antje Duvekot at The University Cafe, Sunday, December 3rd at 2 P.M.
Both artists made their mark at the Kerrville Folk Festival with New Folk awards and have recorded impressive new CDs.
Anais Mitchell is true to the legacy of her namesakes -- French author/diarist Anais Nin and singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. Often compared to Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen in her lyrics, and Ani DiFranco and Sandy Denny in her performance style, Mitchell is best described as an original.
Antje Duvekot emigrated from Germany as a teenager and explored the world of urban songwriters like Ellis Paul and John Gorka. A Boston New Folk award confirms Ellis Paul's prediction that "she's going to be the next great American folk singer-songwriter."
Admission $20.00/ Student, Faculty, Staff: $15.00. Reservations via e mail to SundayStreetWUSB@aol.com

The Fine Art of Freshness
Creating a Local Cuisine with Chef Americo Mintegui, Newsdays Peter Gianotti wrote of the Seafood Barge: "A local landmark becomes a destination once more under chef Americo Mintegui. The waterside restaurant makes a big splash!" Americo is a native of Bay Shore, Long Island, and displayed a precocious interest in cooking from an early age. By the 10th grade, he was working as Executive Sous-Chef at the Huntington Town House. It was at David Bouley's recommendation that he traveled to Europe where he worked in the trend-setting and now legendary kitchen of Ferran Adria's El Bulli restaurant in Spain. Americo takes his worldly experience seriously, but bases his cuisine on home grown foods and wines.
