    What if you got really really stoned while watching back to back Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, and Sixteen Candles (while wearing headphones blasting Dirt Nasty and Atmosphere)? If you were Seattle's Champagne Champagne, the answer is "Molly Ringwald," a tripped out, buzzing electro/hip-hop homage to the red-ringleted star of '80s teen dreams. Check it out on Champagne Champagne's MySpace page, and hum along as the boys daydream about the acrtess who's "Coke model beautiful." -- Jennifer Maer

It closes tonight with a gala at Jardiniere, 6-9 p.m. Forty-five bucks gets you all-you-can-eat Traci Des Jardins appetizers, drinks, and a gift bag, along with the chance to chat up the mixologists behind seven satellite bars, including Brian MacGregor (Jardiniere), Scott Baird (Coco 500), and Steve Liles (

    Wait, that's not the Uncola!A talkative head shop owner and his eager pupil on the San Francisco Police Department can take credit for a sizable narcotics seizure over in Ingleside.During a recent routine traffic stop, a pair of officers noticed a soda bottle in a plastic bag in the driver's glove compartment when he pulled out his registration. It was then that one of the policemen remembered a neat trick he was shown during a recent work trip to a head shop staffed by a garrulous counterman. T

He's a well-traveled Berliner who loves to eat. But when we learned he was sleeping off his jet lag, we decided to put an ice-lined cooler in the back of the car and bring the sweets to the sweet.   First to go into the care package was a cream-cheese-frosted red velvet cupcake from Little Skillet (360 Ritch at Towns

  • Drink of the Week: Taylor's Tonics' Chai Cola

    ​Taylor's Tonics of Santa Cruz offers a simple yet unique idea with its Redwood forest-brewed Chai Cola. A bubbly concoction featuring main ingredients of yerba mate, ginger, and black chai tea, this cola is sweetened with evaporated cane juice and tastes like a supercharged hybrid of ginger ale and root beer.The chai's pronounced notes of cardamom and clove make this an original flavor in the cola landscape. These spices also give the beverage an adult air -- this ain't your kid's Coke.

  • The Secret to Making Deep-Fried Butter

    Jean SmartIt's not like you toss hunks of butter into a Fry Daddy.​The announcement last month by organizers of the State Fair of Texas that deep-fried butter would be an entry for the category of best food caused a lot of folks to wonder how -- and why -- the butter bombs were created in the first place. A recent NPR Health blog post explains the myths and mystery of Abel Gonzales, who bears the title Deep Fried Genius. Gonzales serves up 100 percent deep-fried pure whipped butter wrapped

  • Mexican Coke: Is There a Diff?

    joel8x/FlickrSometimes, a Coke is just a Coke.​The New York Times isn't always on the ball. Lately we've read some seriously Onion-esque doozies, like last month's recession-friendly human interest story about a young, high-earning Brooklynite redecorating her new downtown loft -- "on the cheap" -- for $5,000. That was a howler. Nor does the Times mind coming a little late to a party. Blogs can bloviate within minutes of something going down, and the Twitterati can tweet the very second so

  • The 1996 Version of Giants' Ballpark Doesn't Quite Resemble the Real Thing

    Click on the ballpark for a massive version​ This 1996 giveaway T-shirt picturing the future home of the San Francisco Giants, which a colleague wore to the office the other day, is certainly a head-turner. I snapped the above high-resolution photo because it's unseemly to stare for prolonged periods of time at a co-worker's chest. But it really is worth the look -- unseemliness or no. This rendering is unmistakably that of Pac Bell Park even at a nanosecond's notice -- yet, virtually every ke

  • Have You Seen This Alleged Mission Bay Serial Wallet Thief?

    Red shoes!​It seems this is the year for folks to plunder weekly newspapers. Over the summer, some unknown miscreant drove off with the San Francisco Bay Guardian's eye-catching van, eventually ditching the vehicle in Sea Cliff where it stuck out like ... vestiges of the Guardian in Sea Cliff. Now SF Weekly has suffered a loss of its own, albeit a less theatrical one. Earlier this week the gentleman captured in the grainy surveillance footage on the right sauntered into our offices and brazenl
