Street & Spice – Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Before writing any of my missives, especially about a restaurant from a culinary culture about which I have not previously written, I take inventory of what I know about that culture. The September, 2026 launch of Street & Spice provided the opportunity to assess what I knew about Indonesia. It wasn’t a very long list. Undoubtedly the coolest thing (to me, at least) about Indonesia is that some of its islands are home to the Komodo dragon, a large lizard-like apex predator that may have inspired Star Trek’s “Gorn.” I also knew that Indonesia is made up of about 17,500 islands. One of those islands was Krakatoa where an erupting volcano generated the loudest sound in history (yes, even louder than the screeching on The View).

Tom Guralnick and the Outpost: Albuquerque’s Performance Space

Most Jazz musicians have a dual, connected complaint: the lack of gigs and the lack of places where they can play their kind of music. This is not new. In fact, it was already being chronicled in the 1920s, when Eddie Condon and his crowd complained about having to play “sweet” music in order to eat while “hot” music got relegated to rent parties and after-hours sessions. Things got worse when extended gigs at a single venue came to an end. Long gone are the days when Dizzy Gillespie played a seven-week stint at the Downbeat club in Philadelphia.
