Actress Viola Davis is now a member of perhaps the most exclusive clubs in Hollywood: EGOT winners. The 57-year-old actress earned the coveted designation - gained by winning an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony - at the 65th Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony on Sunday when she took home her Grammy, the last piece of the puzzle, for performance of an audiobook. She won for reading her memoir "Finding Me." In doing so, she became the 18th person - and third Black woman - to ever achieve the honor. "I just EGOT!" Davis shouted as she accepted the award. Davis began her work in theater, but her career has spanned from Shondaland to the DC Comics universe (where she played Amanda Waller in both "Suicide Squad" films and "Black Adam"). Her journey to the EGOT started in earnest in 2001, when she won the Tony for best featured actress for her role as Tonya in the play "King Hedley II," which examined the life of Black Americans throughout the twentieth century. But she really … [Read more...] about Viola Davis becomes an EGOT winner at 2023 Grammy Awards

It's Crawfish Week at Chron! For four days, the food team will be dropping fun stories about Houston's favorite crustacean. Read all our crawfish coverage here. Each year when crawfish season rolls around , flocks of eager Houstonians head to the city's many Viet-Cajun crawfish haunts to grab literal pounds of this fusion delicacy. From the carefully tossed spices and aromatics, to the communal style of eating, to the immigrant origin story itself, the Viet-Cajun phenomenon perfectly encompasses Houston in all its humid, diverse, zesty glory. Here's what you need to know about one of the cuisines that put H-Town on the map. Where did Viet-Cajun crawfish come from? From the get-go, Houston's proximity to Southeast Texas—dubbed "Lapland" by the Texas Almanac for being the place "where Cajun culture overlaps into Texas"—made it a prime incubator for fusion cuisine. As the Gulf Coast grew and diversified, so did its food offerings. Following the fall of Saigon in 1975, … [Read more...] about Everything to know about Viet-Cajun crawfish, Houston’s signature cuisine

It's Crawfish Week at Chron! For four days, the food team will be dropping fun stories about Houston's favorite crustacean. Read all our crawfish coverage here. HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM — Freshwater shrimp, more specifically giant river prawns, are the star of the menu at chef Nikki Tran's Kậu Ba Quán . At first glance, it resembles any of the hundreds of quán nhậu, or open-air restaurants meant for plentiful eating and drinking, in Ho Chi Minh City, colloquially referred to as Saigon. A Saigon native, Tran serves the prawns in the quintessential Vietnamese preparation: rang muối, or salt-roasted. Sporting a slight char, these typically come with a dipping ramekin of simply salt, pepper and a whole calamansi. But, as a result of Tran's time in Houston in the early 2000s at the onset of the Vietnamese-Cajun crawfish movement , the hulking crustaceans here also come in a Gulf Coast version: generously slathered in Cajun garlic butter atop potato halves, corn and spiced … [Read more...] about Chef Nikki Tran is building a culinary bridge between Houston and Saigon

The National Enquirer, the scandal-hunting supermarket tabloid that was embroiled for years in its own scandals, was sold Monday to a joint venture involving an executive who has been the subject of a federal indictment. The buyer, VVIP Ventures, said it will acquire the Enquirer and its tabloid sisters the National Examiner and the Globe from A360 Media of New York. The company described the transactions as an all-cash deal, though terms were not disclosed. The Enquirer's publisher, then known as American Media Inc., admitted in 2018 that it secretly helped Donald Trump's presidential campaign through a journalistically dubious practice known as "catch and kill." It acknowledged paying $150,000 to acquire the exclusive rights to Playboy model Karen McDougal's account of an alleged affair with Trump and then suppressing the story to prevent it from hurting Trump's quest for office. The Federal Election Commission eventually fined A360, the successor to AMI, $187,500 for … [Read more...] about After a long search, scandal-plagued National Enquirer finds a buyer

VISALIA, California, EE.UU. (AP) — Dos pandilleros fueron detenidos el viernes en relación con la matanza de seis personas, entre ellas un bebé, en una casa del centro de California asociada a una pandilla rival, informó el jefe de policía del condado Tulare. El sheriff Mike Boudreaux dijo que Noah David Beard, de 25 años, fue puesto bajo custodia, y que Ángel “Nanu” Uriarte, de 35 años, resultó herido en un tiroteo con agentes federales y estaba siendo operado, pero se encontraba estable y se esperaba que sobreviviera. “Estoy contento de que hayamos podido poner a estos dos hombres tras las rejas”, dijo el sheriff.
