A top Bay Area chef closed his wine bar. Now he's reopening with a return to his Vietnamese roots

A popular wine bar and restaurant in Oakland's Montclair Village is returning with a new focus. French-Mediterranean restaurant and wine bar Perle is resurfacing after closing at the end of March. This time around, chef-owner Rob Lam wants the space to be more laid back, with Vietnamese comfort dishes and cocktails. He plans to reopen at 2058 Mountain Blvd. in mid-August, naming this iteration Perle Bar. 'We wanted to do something nice and elegant in the hills, and we succeeded,' said chef-owner Rob Lam, who opened the original Perle in 2017, and also operates Vietnamese restaurant Lily in San Francisco's Richmond District. This time around he is taking inspiration from his mother's first restaurant in Orange County's Little Saigon, where she served takeout dishes like noodle bowls with roast duck for a flourishing community in the 1980s. Perle Bar's menu will include banh mi with turmeric fried catfish, rice noodle plates with barbecue pork, and broken rice bowls with steamed pork and egg dressed with fried shallots. 'These dishes are very true to my heart,' Lam said. Longtime business partner Dino Vazquez, who has managed Lam's former restaurants, such as now-closed Eastside West and Butterfly on the Embarcadero, is developing the cocktail menu with drinks like a Vietnamese iced coffee martini. Seasonal cocktails in the works include a fig negroni and a paloma incorporating chai and rosemary. Lam, who doesn't drink anymore, wanted non-alcoholic options beyond the usual bottled sodas. Offerings inspired by Vietnamese-style fruit smoothies, or sinh to, will include a kiwi-cucumber 'mojito' and a strawberry yogurt drink sweetened with honey. Other drinks include teas flavored with fresh pressed fruits and Vietnamese-style iced coffees. The owner hopes neighbors in the Montclair area, where dining and takeout options are limited at night, will respond positively. To lure in sports fans, he's also installed two 100-inch flat screens. When Perle closed, Lam cited the impacts of COVID-19 on the neighborhood, as well as the departure of Oakland's three pro sports franchises. Lam chose to return after a long back-and-forth with the property owner, he said, who made the improvements that Lam had asked for the space. Operating in Oakland is challenging, he acknowledged, but he's determined to make things work in the city where he's invested so much. 'I raised my kids in Oakland,' he said. 'I owe Oakland a lot.'

Enhanced Games (no drug testing) signs its first female athlete, world-champion swimmer Megan Romano

The Olympic-style sports venture that will run an event next year with no drug testing signed world-champion swimmer Megan Romano as its first female and first American athlete Thursday. The Enhanced Games will debut next May in Las Vegas, featuring swimming, track and weightlifting competitions in an event that will allow athletes to use performance enhancers. Romano calls competing in the event 'an opportunity to push the boundaries of human performance in a transparent and scientifically-backed environment, and to compete on a stage where female athletes are valued and compensated fairly. equally. I believe this is the future of sport.' The Enhanced Games will offer a prize purse of $500,000 for each event with $1 million bonuses going to anyone who breaks a world record in the 100-meter sprint (track) and 50-meter freestyle (swimming). Those marks would not count as 'official,' because world records need to be ratified by international federations, which require record-breakers to pass doping tests. The International Olympic Committee has condemned the concept of the Enhanced Games, saying, 'If you want to destroy any concept of fair play and fair competition in sport, this would be a good way to do it.' But the games have built some momentum and raised money in the 'double-digit millions,' according to founder Aron D'Souza. Four male swimmers, including Olympic medalist James Magnussen of Australia, have committed to the games. Romano, a standout swimmer at Georgia in college, anchored the U.S. 4x100 freestyle relay team to a gold medal at world championships in 2013. ___ AP sports:

Rihanna Knows There's No Such Thing as Too Many Accessories

We've all heard the quote long attributed to Coco Chanel: 'Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.' Well, Rihanna is having none of that. Yesterday, Rih was spotted in Beverly Hills wearing a classic white button-up and single-cuffed blue jeans. But the singer, mogul, and Smurfette reminded us that accessories can elevate an outfit from simple to sensational. BACKGRID USA Rihanna embraced the trendy in her third-trimester style in a pair of snakeskin printed kitten heel flip-flops from Amina Muaddi. She opted to mix prints, covering her hair in a silk Valentino V-print scarf. (She also added a pair of oversized sunglasses from the Italian label.) Rih didn't stop there, though. She went all in on the jewelry, stacking heaps of bracelets, a large signet ring, and strings of peals around her neck. Between the headscarf, oversized sunnies, and pearls, she more than embraced Old Hollywood glamour, bringing it into 2025 with her modern denim and footwear choices. Rihanna has always embraced over-the-top dressing, from the Saint Laurent maxi dress and Schiaparelli bag she wore for a Fatburger run in Los Angeles, to the outré Alaïa two-piece she donned for a dinner at Giorgio Baldi. But sometimes, there's nothing better than a classic white button-up and jeans.
