Taste Buds

A taste of Café Fleuri

February 8-10

By TAMARA WIEDER | January 31, 2007

Risotto is one of those dishes that we’ve always believed is best left to the experts to make. And for risotto from a true expert, head to CAFÉ FLEURI (Langham Hotel, 250 Franklin Street, Boston) on February 8, 9, or 10. That’s when “King of Risotto” Luciano Parolari, executive chef at the renowned Villa d’Este in Lake Como, Italy, comes to town to prepare a four-course Italian tasting menu for lucky diners. The cost is $75, excluding wine, tax, and gratuity; call 617.451.1900 ext. 7125 for reservations and information.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE: MICHAEL JACKSON AND THE BEATLES
You think an overdubbed Beatles tune could be any weirder than a new Beatles song with John Lennon? Then again, "I Want to Hold You Hand" overdubbed by a guy with a hand on his crotch and his hair on fire would be pretty hard to top. But don't worry, it won't happen, or anyway, it won't happen as a result of Jackson owning the Beatles library.

HEAD WITH WINGS
Mark Sandman died with his boots on. Or at least the rock-and-roll equivalent of the Old West gunfighter’s epitaph.
