“Police then told activists they could reenter the house to collect their belongings, and a protester named Tick took the opportunity to lock himself to barrel of solid cement.”

There is something blunt, almost brutal, about the name of Jack Riebel’s new restaurant The Butcher and the Boar. While most meat emporiums take names that distance themselves a bit from the living animal (The Capitol Grille; Morton’s Steak House), the Butcher and the Boar conjures a confrontation that is going to end badly for one of the parties. There will be blood. And sausage. And wild boar ham and head cheese.

Kevin VanDeraa, owner of beloved bake shop Cupcake, has more to be exited about than the impending conclusion of Central Corridor construction on University Avenue in front of his shop: having won the Yo-Gabba-Gabba-themed episode of the Food Network’s show Cupcake Wars on April 15, VanDeraa is now set to compete in the show’s “Cupcake Champions” series.
Each episode in the “Cupcake Champions” series will feature four champion cupcakers squaring (or, as it were, rounding) off in hopes of advancing to the final round. VanDeraa will compete on the episode to be broadcast at 7 p.m. on Sunday, May 27. If he prevails, he’ll also appear in the finale episode to be broadcast on June 10. The grand champion will win a $50,000 prize.
In the meantime, VanDeraa’s wares are available for purchase seven days a week at his airy shop, which in 2012 celebrates eight years in business.
