The Case of the Chung King Tongue
50 days ago by Alex Milsom
In this piece, writer Alex Milsom tells of a Sichuan adventure with veteran TTH contributor Nathaniel Rich, who previously interviewed Sichuan John of New York's own Grand Sichuan with our Ed. Stefan Marolachakis.
“Right now, at this moment, there isn’t a single other place I’d rather be in the entire world,” Nat had said to me when we arrived at the unatmospherically over-lit restaurant we’d driven 26 miles to visit.
As if he was concerned I’d interpret his statement as hyperbole, he added, “Sometimes, I’ll be in another really good restaurant eating good food, and I’ll be thinking about this place and wishing I was here instead. I compare like everything I eat to the food here.”

Santa Rages Hard at TTH Holiday Party
64 days ago by Handle Vandal
Thanks to everyone who made it out to the TTH/Lemonade holiday party last week. Our party photographer dropped his camera down Santa's outhouse, so we're stuck with these lousy photos from our editor's phone. They might have turned out a little better if it hadn't been for the 40 cases of Asahi washed down with a couple Hot Drams. Check out nine absurd party pics below, none of which capture the true beauty of a blackbox theater decorated in tinsel and snowflakes by four men: read more

Interview with the Sharnhorst
128 days ago by Handle Vandal
Actor Will Janowitz is most known for his recurring role as Finn De Trolio on The Sopranos, but he's worked extensively in film, television and stage. His web series SuperEgo featuring production design by TTH's own Alex Reeves recently premiered on My Damn Channel. For the past year Janowitz has been releasing a series of hilariously weird web videos recorded in a persona he calls John Sharnhorst. This week Sharnhorst will be taking the stage for the first time in The John Sharnhorst Experiment Show at the People's Improv theater.
