10 The Knight Times Entertainment Texadelphia reopens and excites all Six-year-old Cami Pyne in the big kitchen, learning the skills that she would soon share with the EHS community in Cooking with Cami.

After two years of absence, the much-anticipated reopening took place at the restaurant chain’s new location on Westheimer near the Galleria area to much success. Originally Austin-based, Texadelphia has spread across Texas and Oklahoma in recent years and is famous for its delicious cheesesteaks served with a Tex-Mex twist: chips and salsa complimentary with every order and favorites like chips and queso among the most popular menu items. The original Houston location, which was an institution for over 20 years, closed in 2015, leaving many Houstonian cheesesteak-enthusiasts devastated. However, the new location is alive and well, and fans are glad to see many popular staples such as the “Stick-A-Fork- In-Me Burger,” the kids mini corn dogs, and of course, the famous “Original Texas Cheese steak” returning to its menu. Additionally, the new location is incorporating more variety into its menu; for example, you will see a larger selection of salads. All in all, Houston is very grateful for the return of Texadelphia, a Houston tradition that continues to help improve the local food scene. CAMI PYNE Staff Writer October truly is the season for spooky delights. Here’s a perfect recipe to satisfy your creepy cravings! Jack-o-Lantern Cake Pops • 1 box of cake mix • ingredients for cake mix • 16 oz. frosting • 3 oz. white chocolate bar • black food marker • cake pop sticks/ lollipop sticks • green Tic-Tacs Choose your favorite cake mix (1 box) with the same type of frosting (16 oz.). Make the cake mix to recipe, crumble while warm, and add an entire container of 16 oz. frosting. In a separate bowl melt a 3-ounce white chocolate bar in the microwave on 30-second intervals. Once melted, add orange food coloring and stir completely. Use a melon baller or small ice cream scoop to form small (golf ball size) balls and then puncture with a cake pop stick/ lollipop stick or use toothpick for a lollipop effect. Dip into the white chocolate mixture, add the green Tic-Tacs on the top of the pop for a pumpkin stem! Then let cool. After dry, use a black edible marker to draw on a pumpkin face!

Entertainment Blade Runner hits theaters ISABELLA GOODMAN Staff Writer Blade Runner 2049, the sequel to the 1982 cult classic Blade Runner, hit theaters on October 3. The film, directed by Denis Villeneuve, stars Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford and picks up thirty years after the original movie left off. Blade Runner 2049 follows Gosling, a replicant Blade Runner named K, and his journey to uncover a secret with ties to Rick Deckard, played by Ford, who has been missing in the thirty years since the first movie. The Knight Times 11 Big Mouth explores the difficulty of teenage life SOPHIA HENRY Staff Writer Big Mouth, the fresh new Netflix show, is making headway as it comedically displays the awkward stages of puberty through the eyes of three best friends in middle school with the help of their Hormone Monsters. The show includes the female point of view as the Hormone Monstress supports the girl lead Jessi through her complications at the Statue of Liberty in Episode Two. The show brings a childish humor to the embarrassing consequences puberty brings and gives an upbeat quirkiness with the ghost of Duke Ellington, a well known composer, pianist, and bandleader of a jazz orchestra, giving the middle schoolers advice in Nick’s attic. The group of friends experience their first relationships and social anxieties as romantic feelings begin to arise in the middle schoolers lives. There is not one episode a person cannot relate to as we have all gone through the awkwardness of puberty. The Hormone Monsters offer terrible advice to the young kids, and their parents are unable to understand the middle schoolers social struggles. The episodes consist of silliness and ridiculous situations. The teachers try to guide the students through their problems; however, it seems the only people sane enough to help are the kids themselves. The comedy animates adolescent children struggling to understand their urges to feel accepted and noticed. Big Mouth is voiced over by comedians Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, and Jessi Mulaney. The show has gotten great feedback and high ratings on Netflix. It incorporates almost the same humor as American Dad and Family Guy through physical jokes. I highly recommend giving the show a watch. Big Mouth revolves around the lives of Nick, Andrew, and Jessie, the main characters, and their struggles as young adults. Photo courtesy of IndieWire.com. Young and Hungry Food trucks fill Zilker Park in Austin as hungry festival attendees roam around, ravenous for world class nachos, tacos, and burgers. Photo courtesy of TravelNoire. com. ISABEL YOUNG Staff Writer Hello, welcome to another segment of Young and Hungry. This month I will be talking about ACL eats. If you went to ACL but didn’t hit up the food trucks, I’m sorry for your loss. Major RIP. The food was by far the highlight of the festival. Honestly, the main reason I went to ACL anyway. There were 40 food trucks on sight at the festival such as Chil’antro, Amy’s Ice Cream, Austin’s Pizza, and Torchey’s, just to name a few. Some of the top foods people enjoyed were miniature pizzas, Kimchi fries, brisket nachos, and mango smoothies. Patrick Bayouth wanted these so highly talked about nachos that he “spent one whole hour searching for them because I tried someone’s and they were so good.” Another plus to the food trucks was the cashless payment. You could put your credit card on your wristband to make food purchases more convenient. This made spending money on the food a lot easier, amd mever let anyone be hungry or unsatisfied. Gabrielle Ducote said, “I have never consumed so much pizza in my life,” made possible by the cashless payments. My personal favorite was the Chil’antro chicken tacos. They were some of the best tacos I have ever eaten because of the freshness and all the sauces. I hope everyone got to try at least one of these delicacies. Till next month. Isabel out. Blade Runner 2049 does what all sequels hope to do: it maintains the sanctity of the original while still forging its own path. The acting is also incredible. Gosling plays a multifaceted character who tries to understand his humanity while not human, and Ford does a great job at unearthing the gruff and over-it Deckard. The supporting cast is also well done, from the virtual Ana De Armas to the police chief Robin Wright and Jared Leto, the successor to the Tyrell Corp. founder. 2049 pushes on the technology of the future where the original could not. From the replicants of the 1980s to virtual reality and holographic people, Blade Runner 2049 pushes viewers to contemplate the technology around them that is advancing at incredible paces. Dennis Villeneuve’s presence is clear, like Arrival (2016). Villeneuve showcases sweeping aerial shots, and he basically makes color a character in both movies. He combines this stylistic choice with the neo-noir style of the original movie, where the future is chaotic, busy, and heavily backed by neon lighting. Blade Runner was not a box-office hit by any means, and neither is Blade Runner 2049. It took a while for the film to become a cult classic, so it makes sense that despite good reviews, Blade Runner 2049 did not do exceptionally well. In Ridley Scott’s original, there was not much dialogue and instead featured voiceover from Ford, which was later scrutinized. Blade Runner 2049, in a similar fashion, is short on the dialogue, but they opted for a score by Hans Zimmer rather than a Gosling voiceover. This might not be the most reassuring thing for viewers, as the runtime for the movie is nearly three hours. Ultimately, Blade Runner 2049 will most likely take the same path as its predecessor. While it was not a huge hit, it will probably claim cult classic status. I encourage everyone to see it.
