Indian Rasoi takes over Cafe Colucci space in Oakland
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:44:02 GMT
Oakland’s upper Temescal District was deprived of a spot for highly spiced foods from across the world when Cafe Colucci, a popular Ethiopian eatery now hosting a Michelin-cred pop-up, departed for a location farther away.That void’s filled at last with the arrival of Indian Rasoi in the old Colucci space at 6427 Telegraph Ave. It’s a colorfully decorated restaurant specializing in the cuisine of Northern India – long-simmered curries, tandoori-grilled meats, hot chai and cold lassi.Rasoi opened earlier this month and on a recent stop-in, appeared to be doing brisk take-out business. A few diners sat in the main room under a rainbow canopy of hanging fabric and inverted umbrellas. A grand opening sign flapped in the wind, beckoning residents in this borderland of Oakland and Berkeley and passing students from the UC campus up the street.The menu has the standard Indian breakdown of appetizers (samosas, pakora, some crispy chaats), biryani, curries (lamb, chicken, s...Fact-checking Trump’s recent lies about 2020 election

By Daniel Dale | CNNFormer President Donald Trump made a series of inflammatory social media posts on Sunday in which, among other things, he lied that Senate Democrats rigged the 2020 election and baselessly accused the company that owns NBC and MSNBC of treason.The 2020 electionSince November 2020, when Trump lost the presidential election to Joe Biden, he has lied dozens of times that the free and fair election was “rigged” and “stolen.” In a post on Sunday, Trump added an additional false claim on top of the usual false claim – this time declaring that Senate Democrats perpetrated the (nonexistent) election theft.Trump was addressing last week’s federal indictment of Sen. Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, on corruption charges Menendez denies. Trump asked why the FBI doesn’t raid the homes of “Senate Democrat’s” like it searched his Florida home last year for classified documents he had retained after his presidency – baselessly calling that court-approved search illegal.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Having to play two games on the road in less than a week gave the New York Giants three days to look back at their first three games and to consider what’s gone wrong.It’s nothing like a season ago when the Giants won their first two games under new coach Brian Daboll and six of their first seven. It carried the team to its first playoff berth since 2016 with a 9-7-1 record.This season has been much shakier. New York is 1-2. It has been blown out by the Dallas Cowboys (2-1) and San Francisco 49ers (3-0) and it needed to match its greatest comeback in franchise history for a 31-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals (1-2).The job is not going to get easier with Seattle (2-1), Miami (3-0) and Buffalo (2-1) over the next three weeks, especially with all that is going wrong.Daniel Jones and the offense are struggling. The defense is missing tackles, not forcing turnovers and failing to get off the field, even on third-and-long situations.If there has ...Jaguars ‘have to do better’ with a pass rush that looks pedestrian for a second straight year

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jaguars coach Doug Pederson paused for roughly 15 seconds — it seemed like an eternity in a silent meeting room — before trying to explain Jacksonville’s lackluster pass rush against Houston.There wasn’t much to say since the Texans were without four starting offensive linemen and going with a rookie quarterback who had been sacked an NFL-leading 11 times in the first two weeks.“You can maybe point to several things, but we have to do better,” Pederson said. “It starts up front.”Two weeks after Josh Allen and Travon Walker combined for four sacks at Indianapolis — two of them because Allen ran Anthony Richardson out of bounds — Jacksonville’s pass rush returned to its pedestrian 2022 form in a 37-17 debacle at home to AFC South rival and previously winless Houston on Sunday.Neither Allen nor Walker nor anyone else got to rookie C.J. Stroud, who had extra time to throw for the first time this season. Stroud completed 20 of 30 passes for 280 yards, with two t...MLB-leading Braves are dealing with an ailing rotation as the playoffs loom

ATLANTA (AP) — Baseball’s best team has some major pitching concerns heading into the final week of the regular season.Two of Atlanta’s key starters — Max Fried and Charlie Morton — have landed on the injured list in recent days, raising questions about just who’ll be available for the Braves in the playoffs.Spencer Strider (19-5) and Bryce Elder (12-4) are the only two regular starters who appear certain to pitch in the NL Division Series, which starts Oct. 7.Strider remains confident in his team, no matter who is healthy for the playoffs.“This whole organization is something to marvel at,” he said. “It’s not like it’s just been 26 guys either. It’s been a whole group.”Allan Winans, who has bounced between the big leagues and Triple-A while the Braves dealt with a rash of pitching injuries this season, is among those who could get an unlikely start in the postseason.“Obviously, I would be pretty ecstatic about the opportunity,” Winans told ...IndyCar’s return marks major comeback for 120-year-old Milwaukee Mile

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) — Once a fixture on the IndyCar racing circuit, the Milwaukee Mile lost its spot on the schedule and was in danger of closing altogether on multiple occasions.Now the 120-year-old facility is making a comeback as remarkable as any that drivers have staged on this 1-mile oval track over the years. IndyCar is returning to the Milwaukee Mile next year as part of a Labor Day weekend doubleheader just before the final race of the season.Roger Penske, owner of both IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, hopes this time it’s back for good and rattled off a list of motorsports greats who raced at the historic track.“You think of Rex Mays and (Tony) Bettenhausen and some of the greatest drivers — Rodger Ward racing up here,” Penske said Monday. “These are the great names in the sport. Always right after Indy they used to come, obviously would come here to Milwaukee and run. To me, it was just part of the DNA of the series. And we kind of lost that.”The track is ...Steelers’ team plane makes emergency landing in Kansas City, no injuries reported
