<p><strong>What:</strong> Build Your Own Omelet with bacon, spinach, mushrooms and Asiago cheese</p>

<p></p>

<p></p>

<p></p>

<p><br />
<strong>Where:</strong> <a href="http://cafebrazil.com/"><u><strong>Cafe Brazil</strong></u></a>, various locations</p>

<p></p>

<p><br />
<strong>Delicious thoughts:</strong> After last weekend's <a href="http://blog.quickdfw.com/archives/2009/11/setlist-the-swell-season-at-th.html"><u><strong>Swell Season concert</strong></u></a> I was jonesin' for some breakfast, especially a salty breakfast. AND I wanted French fries. Odd combo, but at 12:30 in the a.m., there were few places close to home to provide that fix. Thankfully, a trip to Brazil is possible at all hours of the day, and my meal didn't disappoint. And BONUS: My waiter let me take the Swell Season poster that was hanging on a hallway bulletin board. That was the icing on the cake of my fabulous evening ...<br />

        <![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://blog.quickdfw.com/archives/2009/11/20/celine.JPG"><img alt="celine.JPG" src="http://blog.quickdfw.com/archives/assets_c/2009/11/celine-thumb-340x255-63541.jpg" width="340" height="255" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></a></span></p>

<p>After a dinner at Red Lobster (or "The Lob," as Kristen Wiig called it on last week's otherwise atrocious SNL) that I was almost embarrassingly excited about, I hit the new <strong>Bar Céline</strong> at <a href="http://www.parkhenderson.com/"><u><strong>Park </strong></u></a>restaurant on Henderson. </p>

<p><br />
Decorated in rich, dark colors and sumptuous, buttery textures, Bar Celine is dolled up like a French salon, and the room was like the interior-design version of Swiss chocolate -- decadent. </p>

<p><br />
<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://blog.quickdfw.com/archives/2009/11/20/celine2.JPG"><img alt="celine2.JPG" src="http://blog.quickdfw.com/archives/assets_c/2009/11/celine2-thumb-150x200-63552.jpg" width="150" height="200" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></a></span></p>

<p>A long bench, backed by velvety corduroy pillows, lined the wall of the small space located past the Park dining room. Eclectic chairs were interspersed throughout, as were handsome tables, lamps and overhead light fixtures. The place was cozy and low-lit, perfect for cozying up to a date, and a smart playlist -- Ingrid Michaelson, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Cut Copy -- served as an interesting backdrop. <br />
<br><br />
Celine serves a handful of specialty cocktails, including the Lychee Thyme (left), an herb-y, delicately sweet concoction, though our waitress informed us that the bar was crafting more than a dozen to add to the menu. Nice! There's also a small menu of snackie-sized bites. <br />

<p>Pete Yorn is a busy man.</p>

<p><br />
The New Jersey native has stayed active since his 2001 debut, <em>musicforthemorningafter</em>, where he played every instrument on the album. Now, five albums later - including his recent release with actress Scarlett Johansson - Yorn has yet to show signs of slowing down.</p>

<p><br />
Thursday night at the House of Blues was the same. On his second-to-last show of the tour, Yorn stayed busy on the stage.</p>

<p><br />
From swapping guitars between songs - four total; two electric, two acoustic - to playing songs from every album, Yorn and his five-piece backing band kept the selections diverse and the sound tight. </p>

<p><br />
While he's been known in the past to mix in several covers into the set, Yorn made the night about his music. He played a snippet of a Bruce Springsteen song and compressed "Bizarre Love Triangle," a seven-minute New Order song down, down to three minutes (and a rocking three minutes at that).</p>

<p><br />
The audience was heavily involved in the show as well. Yorn pitted fans in the balcony against fans on the floor to see who had the better "Ahhhs" during "Murray" and both sexes were easily swooned by the harmonica solos in "Life on a Chain" and "Strange Condition."</p>

<p><br />
Isaac Russell, a 17-year-old from California by way of Utah, opened the show with a six-song acoustic set. Recently signed to Columbia records, Russell had to battle a noisy, talkative crowd that, at times, overpowered the young singer/songwriter and his guitar. </p>

<p><br />
While his efforts were valiant, in the end the crowd won out.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>High point: The band</strong><br />
Yes, the reason to go to a live show is to see the band play your favorite songs live, but Yorn and company added a little something to each song.</p>

<p><br />
Whether it was the graceful solos of the lead guitarist, the rhythmic bass lines or the tight-as-a-snare drumming, the band made you feel like you were in a club one minute and then at an open mic night at a coffee house the next. <br />
 </p>

<p><br />
<strong>Low point: The audience</strong><br />
"It's a mandolin! It's a mandolin!" screamed the guy next to me as he shook his friend.</p>

<p><br />
Yes, that twangy, Southern sound you hear in the background of "Crystal Village" is a mandolin being played by the multi-instrumentalist. Now calm down.</p>

<p><br />
As Yorn got deeper into his set, the audience members who started the night at the bar slowly moved onto the floor, song by song. Midway through the set, personal space was being invaded and there was nothing you could do about it.<br />
<br></p>

        <![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://blog.quickdfw.com/archives/2009/11/19/02NM-008DF-06514R.JPG"><img alt="02NM-008DF-06514R.JPG" src="http://blog.quickdfw.com/archives/assets_c/2009/11/02NM-008DF-06514R-thumb-350x232-63427.jpg" width="350" height="232" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></a></span></p>

<p>I have a sinking feeling that most critics will hate <em>The Twilight Saga: New Moon</em> (opening at midnight) just as hard as the teenage girls watching last night's screening loved it. Every time the shirtless, buff Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) appeared on screen, an unnamed movie writer beside me groaned loudly and went straight for his pen and little pad o' insults, while the row of chick-lets behind me made sounds that can only be described as pre-orgasmic. <br />
<br><br />
To be honest, I was a lot more annoyed by the critic. He went into a<em> Twilight</em> movie knowing he 1) didn't get its appeal and 2) didn't really want to. Seems like a waste of a highly coveted seat. I enjoyed the first film. Unlike so many other teen-marketed movies, it featured characters that are deeply complex and authentically awkward. And while they're not quite as awkward in <em>New Moon</em>, they're a hell of a lot more complicated. <br />
<br><br />
For much of the latest installment, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is fighting severe depression after getting dumped by her vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). He doesn't want her to lose her soul as a result of being part of his underworld. Nice of him, really, but she just sees his move as abandonment. And she doesn't deal well. She screams out during bad dreams, sits alone in the school cafeteria and puts herself in dangerous situations with the hope that the bloodsucker will suddenly appear to save her. <br />
<br><br />
Her indie-music-assisted funk finally begins to fade when she asks childhood friend Jacob to help her fix up a couple of motorbikes (for another death-wish activity, no doubt). His humor and humanity are just what she needs, even if it's obvious she'll never love him the same way she loves Edward. Still, the Bella-Jacob section of the movie is the most enjoyable, not for Lautner's impressive physique, but for his easy, breezy acting style. He's a natural; it amazes me that he could've lost the part after the first film had he not bulked up.<br />
<br><br />
Oh, did I mention that Jacob's a werewolf? Kidding. You've seen the trailer, where he jumps into the air and transforms in front of Bella. While he and his "wolf pack" brothers help fend off the bloodthirsty vampires who've arrived to hunt down Bella in Edward's absence, his hotblooded doggy behavior eventually complicates his relationship with her. <br />
<br><br />
The movie's final section takes a sharp turn that involves Italy, a scary Dakota Fanning (the best kind of Dakota Fanning, it turns out) and the reunion of Bella and Edward. No use in revealing more. But the events of the third act definitely cement the star-crossed lovers theme, echoing the book Bella's studying at the beginning of the film, <em>Romeo and Juliet</em>. Her relationship with Edward (and his killer hair) is strong enough that both would rather die than live in a world without the other's existence.<br />
<br><br />
<em>New Moon</em> is thoughtful, beautifully filmed and doesn't cut any corners in adapting its source novel. There's sly, self-deprecating humor, meticulous character development and grandiose, blockbuster special effects. It's the second entry in a romantic's equivalent of the <em>Star Wars</em> or <em>Lord of the Rings</em> series. <br />
<br><br />
So, write in your little pad, unnamed critic, about all the things you find wrong with the movie. Laugh haughtily at the first hint of trite dialogue. Groan at the lingering pec shots. The girls and fantasy freaks will be over here, getting swept away for a couple of hours. And they'll have a lot more fun. <br />

<p>Quentin Moore is a former University of North Texas football player in his late 20s who writes and sings organic, slightly jazzy soul tunes. His latest CD <em>Vintage Love</em> is by no means perfect or polished, but there's something about his old-school sensibilities that's appealing in the age of electro beats and Auto Tune. Check out <a href="http://www.qmooremusic.com"><u>qmooremusic.com</u></a> to hear some tracks. <br />
<br><br />
<strong>Correction: </strong>This item in this week's print edition of the Liner Notes column contained incorrect information about a concert this weekend for Moore. That concert already happened, but we'll keep you updated as to when he decides to perform live next.<br />

<p>Smashburger, a casual food chain with locations in 11 states, opened its first Dallas branch with a tasty preview. Located just below the Addison Improv, the new restaurant is so named for the preparation of its burgers -- they're smashed whilst on the grill, in order to give them a nice sear and a juicy center. And, wow, is that technique workin' for 'em: My All-American burger (below) was exactly as I prefer such sammiches -- thick, dripping with juices, and revealing a perfect ribbon of pink as I bite into it. One of my companions felt that it was too greasy, but I corrected him: "juicy, dude -- it's <em>juicy</em>!"<br />

<p>My crew and I sampled several sides, too -- the Smashfries, seasoned with garlic and rosemary, didn't work for me. The rosemary was a bit overpowering and didn't complement my burger. And, really, there's no need to fancy up fries with a burger that's as basically good as theirs is. On the plus side, the fried pickles were a hit at my table, as were the fried onion strings and sweet potato fries. Veggie "frites" didn't come breaded and deep-fried, sports-bar-style, as I'd hoped. They were mildly seasoned and flash-fried. The asparagus, carrot and green bean combo didn't float my boat, but one of my friends found it exquisite and downed the whole serving. We all ordered some really tasty hot dogs to sample  -- including a chili cheese version, and the DFW dog (below), with pepperjack cheese, guacamole, onions and jalapenos -- but except for the veggie frites-snarfer, none of us came close to finishing them.

<p>Half-cups of Haagen-Dazs milkshake were passed around, and, stuffed as I was, I really wanted a full serving of rich, creamy goodness. Smashburger also serves wine and beer, btw, which certainly stamps it as a fast-casual joint, rather than a fast-food stop. Whatevs -- I'd stop here again, for sure, and I bet the Improv-going crowd will eat this stuff up preshow. It's open to the public now -- try it for yourself.<br />

<p>... I finally connected with a friend I'd been meaning to hang out with for ages. What a fun night out! We met at <a href="http://www.trecerestaurant.com/"><u><strong>Trece</strong></u></a>, which, along with Villa-O across the street, offers a special free menu on Monday nights. Free, with a capital free!! Now, of course, they must hope that most patrons will buy a bottle of wine or two or order a specialty cocktail or three. And who wouldn't want to -- I felt nekkid in this lavish, low-lit spot until I had martini glass in hand. And my Pomjito didn't disappoint -- sweet but not cloying with a tiny bit of tartness, it woke up my taste buds, just in time for the grub. I started with chicken nachos (above), which pretty much filled me up. But I still had a fish taco entree coming! I could only stuff down one fabulous fried snapper taco before my stomach waved the white flag. </p>

<p><br />
From Trece, my friend and I made an unusual detour to Oak Cliff, so he could get a haircut. Yes, a haircut appointment at almost 10 at night. He gets his hair cut and styled at <a href="http://www.sweet200.com/"><u><strong>Sweet 200</strong></u></a>, which I had previously thought was either a bakery or an organization of local businesses. Nope! It was the cutest little salon you ever did see, with wood floors, big suspended mirrors at each station ... and a pool table. Nice! So as homeboy got styled, I worked on my game.</p>

<p><br />

<p><br />
Once boyfriend got his hair did, it was off to the <a href="http://www.warwickmelrosedallas.com/default.aspx?pg=restaurants&rp=home"><u><strong>Library </strong></u></a>bar at the Warwick Melrose hotel. Sadly, we missed the fabulous Monday night happy hour, but we found a cozy corner, listened to the singing pianist and caught up on major dish, cocktails in hand. A fabulous evening all around.<br />
