It is that time of year; time to point you to the best spots to watch football in The San Gabriel Valley. A place where you can get a decent beer and some grub that won’t keep you up all night. Recently I went to Clearman’s Boat on The Pasadena/San Gabriel Border. I liked it!! It’s a new building with 30 Large screen TV’s to catch any game. The place resembles an old German Beer Hall, so there are plenty of places to sit and you will always have a great view of one of the many TV’s. The Bar features 10 beers on tap and mixed drinks. The food is acceptable and not gourmet. I usually stick with their great cheese bread and renown salad. McCormick and Schmick’s in Pasadena, has been written up numerous times over the years for their amazing happy hour selections and basement prices. I have noticed that their ($1.99) specials have been reduced, but there are always ample beer specials and they have upgraded their TV’s to make the sports experience a touchdown. A place that might not come to your mind but offers fantastic food and a good viewing experience is Il Fornaio. The Bar has its own TV and they do offer a ($5) menu with flatbread, salads and Chicken wings that will bring you right back to college days. It is not a place for a big football crowd, but if you just want to watch the game with a small crowd, checkout Il Fornaio. Pasadena’s number one destination for the sport enthusiast is The Yard House. With over 130 beers on tap and what I would consider above average pub grub, you can relax, drink and nibble. During the game there are many full portion appetizers at ½ price, plus deals on pints of beer; house martinis and wines are also specially priced. This is a true indoor tailgate experience. I typically sit at the Island shaped bar. Newly added to Pasadena is T Boyles. Remember the old Toe’s Tavern? They are doing it a little different than everyone else and I love their approach!! They will be doing BBQ Buffet for Monday Night Football. The Chef at La Canada Country Club, Bryon, will be smoking ribs, basting wings, sealing flavor in the briskets, and spinning up a mean Mac and Cheese. Byron’s exceptional talents and savory foods are certain to become a local favorite. I am told that the price will be ($15.00) per head. They will also be offering drink specials along with some fun giveaways. See everyone at the upcoming Taste of Sierra Madre, this coming weekend September 11 at the Kersting Ct. Did I miss your favorite spot? If I did, let me know at [email protected]

KATIE Tse ...... This and That SHADES OF BBQ Our daylight savings are almost spent and Labor Day is upon us. An aptly named holiday, it marks the end of the summer and the return to our labors. And for most people, it’s the last chance to throw a BBQ. We’ve all heard that, following the discovery of fire, man’s next great innovation was to cook meat over an open flame. Animal protein is easier digested when it’s cooked versus raw, and somehow this nutritional boost helped further the development of our larger brains. BBQ is rooted deep within the human psyche. BBQ is primitive, instinctual, and tastes good. Now, of course, we know the inconvenient truth that charring food produces carcinogens, but that hasn’t put Burger King out of business. There are basically two kinds of people –those who BBQ and those who merely eat BBQ. (Even my vegan mom eats barbequed portabellas, corn, peppers, etc. I think she’d throw lentils on the grill except they’d fall through). My dad is of the former category, so much so that he doesn’t let a little thing like the passing of Labor Day keep him from firing up the barbie. Some of my earliest memories are of standing with him out on the deck by his little battered Weber, watching the great clouds of pungent smoke billow over the roof. If he felt especially magnanimous, he’d let me hold the marinade pan between bastings. My husband, on the other, was born into the latter category and is trying to move over to the former. His was a very urban childhood without these early formative BBQ experiences. In an attempt to learn, he bought a large multi-function grill to use at his parents’ new house. (We can’t practice at home because we’re in a little second story apartment and would feel weird grilling in our carport.) He stores the iron giant in his parents’ garage and, due to RICH Johnson its bulk, rarely uses it. He also thinks that hooking up the gas and waiting 30 minutes for PONDERABLES it to heat up can only be rationalized if he’s going to make a lot of food at once. I mentally at Café 322 contrast this line of reasoning with images of my dad wheeling his little Weber under the My column last week on Saturday night, September 11.

will be ALNO Pasadena Kitchens on E. Montecito in Sierra Madre, which has several state of the art demonstration kitchens that will be open for viewing. Your $35 ticket doesn’t stop there! This all access ticket will gain you entrance to the doings at Kersting Court, featuring local culinary tastes and professional and student music. And wait, there’s more! At Sierra Madre Elementary, the afternoon will be given over to the Smooth Jazz of two chartbusters, Paul Brown and Chris Standring. All of your donations go toward two great causes. Half the net funds raised will benefit children in need of cleft palate surgeries by the nonprofit Rotaplast Organization. The other half stays right here in the community and will fund expanded fine arts programs for area youth at the Youth Activity Center. Tickets are on sale now… until they’re gone! Mark your calendar for September 11, starting at 9 a.m. Tour eight great kitchens, then spend the afternoon at Kersting Court and at the Smooth Jazz concerts.

Lenders are an increasingly difficult crowd to please, so if you're looking for the best deal on a mortgage, you need a couple of strategies to improve your credit score. Lenders use that number to determine your risk of default, and it may be the single most important factor in your application. Scores range anywhere from a very risky 300 to a perfect 850. You'll need a 750 today to get terms a 700 would have gotten you two years ago. Begin with a $16 investment at myfico.com, where your three reports from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion are averaged into one representative score. A Zogby poll reports that one third of all people who request a credit report find errors. Your score is only as accurate as your information, so scour your report and correct errors immediately. This could boost your score by as much as 200 points! The largest percentage of your score is determined by your payment histories, but the second largest factor is your "card utilization rate," or your total balances compared to your total credit limits. 10% is the ideal number like $2,500 in charges when you have a $25,000 line of credit). If you correct errors, have an excellent payment history, and get your debt-to-credit ratio down, you can expect to save thousands with a lower interest rate on your mortgage. benefiting the Sierra Madre Youth Activity Center Luther Tsinoglou has just been named the top producing sales agent in Dickson Podley Realtor's Sierra Madre office for 2009, making the top 10% at the company overall.
