Dinner – COOPER GENERAL NEWS

“Kris’s wife, Lisa Meyers, sent this to me several months ago and told me it reminded her of her father. We’re both daddy’s girls so she thought I would enjoy it and think about my dad. And just a few days ago, my boyfriend, Craig, played it for me and I said, ‘oh my gosh, this song is haunting me.’ I would love to record it some day.”

Brooks Headley, Musician and Chef

“Cmon Let’s Go” — Girlschool

“A fist-pumping rager that’s fun, fun, fun. Who doesn’t want to listen to something like this while hanging out with pals and eating barely cooked Greenmarket corn straight off the cob in someone’s backyard?”

“Far From Right” — Habibi

Rahill Jamalifard, Habibi’s vocalist, is a Superiority Burger alum from way back when we first opened in 2015. This track is from 2014, and it still hits really hard in 2021. It has a very difficult to achieve kinetic nonchalance with a vocal delivery that asserts the influence of Rahill’s Michigan upbringing.”

“Dressed in Black” — Teengenerate

“Greatest band of all time? Tokyo’s Teengenerate. No question. And Fifi, the former guitarist and vocalist, currently operates the greatest bar on the planet — Poor Cow, also in Tokyo.”

“Wiwasharnine” — Mdou Moctar

“This plays pretty much once every other day on the Superiority Burger iPod. The groove on this track is relentless. They are playing in Brooklyn in mid-September, a not-to-be-missed gig.”

John Cale, Musician

“Clair de Lune” — Claude Debussy

Various — Sly & The Family Stone

“When you’re listening to folks nattering about, talking over one another and getting louder and louder, it’s time for Sly & The Family Stone to take over the room — quick! Take your pick — ‘Family Affair,’ ‘Everyday People,’ ‘If You Want Me to Stay,’ ‘Everybody Is a Star’ — or just put on all of them!”

“HUMBLE.” — Kendrick Lamar

Sharon Van Etten, Singer-Songwriter

“Reason to Believe (feat. Courtney Barnett)” — Vagabon

“As if the Karen Dalton version weren’t dreamy enough, this one makes me tear up instantly.”

Cassandra said her drink was perfect. In fact, the foam made from the beta-lactoglobulin lasted longer than shaken egg white. I also pointed out to Cassandra that our bourbon has fewer carbon emissions. She didn’t find that interesting.

I needed her to like her drink so she could have another. Cassandra, a former vegetarian, wasn’t looking forward to our evening. “Wrong meat has a lot of crap. I don’t like highly processed foods, ”she said. “I know a lot of unhealthy vegetarians.”

To change her mood, I gave her a few pieces of diamond jewelry from the lab. Diamond mining is a brutal industry for all I’ve ever learned from a Leonardo DiCaprio movie. Mr DiCaprio is indeed an investor in Diamond Foundry, a Silicon Valley company that slowly grows diamonds in a reactor that heats the plasma to 10,000 degrees, the warmth of the outer layers of the sun.

Its diamonds sell for a little less than mined. This meant I had to gently tell Cassandra that the $ 6,400 tennis bracelet, $ 3,300 worth of earrings, $ 5,400 ring, and $ 4,500 necklace looked great to her, but the closest ones Day how celebrities had to be returned on the red carpet. Her mood wasn’t fixed.

However, she said – completely unsolicited – that my skin was glowing. I had no idea if it was due to the cobwebs, human collagen, two cocktails, or my concern about the return of the diamonds.

My son Laszlo was harder to argue with. “I wanted to heat up some chicken nuggets,” he said. But when he saw the food and thought about the hassle of microwave nuggets, he decided to give it a try. “It doesn’t look gross.”
