Baldi hacked?
Imagine our surprise last week when, after nearly a year with nary a word, once-local restaurateur and now-infamous runaway Jim Baldi accepted our Facebook friend request, along with 21 others.
We suspect it wasn’t the former Bel Rio owner himself who logged on, but at least one of his new friends left a friendly comment for the fugitive: Says Roberto Lucas, “i hope ur guys doing well!!!!!! kiko lucas.” Attempts to contact Lucas were unsuccessful.
Dinner and a movie
Are you looking to be stuffed, culturally speaking? On June 5, C-VILLE Weekly and The Paramount Theater are hosting Taste 434, a local food, wine and film event.
Enjoy a tasting discussion with Joel Salatin’s son, Daniel Salatin, The Rock Barn owner Ben Thompson, Brookville Restaurant owner Harrison Keevil, Richard Bean of Double H Farm and Emily Manley of the Local Food Hub. Afterward, watch Food, Inc. and devour a locally sourced dinner at Keevil’s Downtown eatery.
The event, which begins at 3:30pm, costs $12 for the tasting and film, plus $55 for the benefit dinner. Visit theparamount.net for more info or stop by the box office for tickets.
