Indy chef looking for redemption at World Food Championships
When the World Food Championships land at the Indiana State Fairgrounds this year, Indianapolis chef Brady Foster will be looking for redemption. Driving the news: Foster punched his golden ticket to the competition last month when he won the Mac-N-Cheese Throwdown at the Holy Cross Wine and Cheese Festival. Foster made a garlic herb macaroni and cheese with a goat cheese sauce, sweet potato cornbread and pork belly crumble crispy cheese topping. "I tried to do as much as I could in one package," he told Axios. State of play: This will be Foster's third straight trip to the World Food Championships, and last year didn't go well. "If I'd have lost and did it my way, that would have been fine, but I was trying to be something that I wasn't," he said, mentioning he listened to bad advice and made dishes not true to his style. The chef and owner of Foster's Cafe and Catering in Lawrence specializes in African, American and African American cuisine. How it works: Chefs from around the world enter culinary competitions to win a spot in the international showdown, where they're given a category and theme. Chefs compete live, cooking in a "kitchen arena" and get scored on execution, appearance and taste. Top scores advance from opening to final rounds, tournament style. This year, Foster is competing in the sandwich category. The theme hasn't been released yet, but he's thinking he'll do something with goat and African and French influences. Flashback: Foster says he grew up "pretty rough" in Gary, Indiana, and never pictured himself as a top chef and restaurant owner. After managing a Cici's Pizza for a decade, Foster earned his culinary degree from Ivy Tech in 2017. He realized his dream of opening a restaurant in March 2020. He was open for one week before COVID-19 shut down the state. "It was very scary," he said. "A lot of sleepless nights. A lot of crying. A lot of praying." It was six months before he was able to fully reopen. Fun fact: Foster took over the restaurant space from Circle City Soups, where he'd gotten his first job after culinary school with owners Roger and Cindy Hawkins — who he credits as his mentors. At the Mac-N-Cheese throwdown, Foster and Hawkins were the top two finalists. "So proud of our 'son,' Brady Foster, who not only won the golden ticket, but also won people's choice!!" Cindy Hawkins wrote on Facebook after the competition.

Lynne Turner, CSO harpist since 1962, retires from the orchestra
You could say Lynne Turner's Chicago Symphony Orchestra career really began in 1956. That year, she made her debut with the orchestra, the winner of an audition call to headline its Young People's Concerts. Turner, then 14, played Handel's Harp Concerto in B-flat in four concerts that March. Covering Turner's win, a Chicago Tribune society writer described her as a 'pretty, vivacious miss' who was 'equally at home on a bike or roller skates, and likes nothing better than to spend a Saturday afternoon exchanging feminine chatter with school girl chums.' 'I suppose that was her way of reassuring readers that I was still a normal teenager,' Turner recalls, with some amusement. Normal, sure, but Turner grew up around an abnormal amount of music. Her father, Sol Turner, was a first violinist in the CSO; her mother, Evelyn, a pianist. According to the same Tribune article, her older sister, Carol, was accomplished enough on the violin to join the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the CSO's prestigious training ensemble. Meanwhile, Turner's baby brother, Richard, followed in her footsteps: After his own Civic tenure, he went on to become principal harp in the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra for 45 seasons. Before those Young People's Concerts, Turner wasn't gunning for an orchestra career, per se. But she now thinks of those performances as a catalyst. She also passed through the Civic Orchestra, then, in 1962 — the same year she became the first American to win the International Harp Contest — she joined the CSO itself. Turner's 63-season tenure with the orchestra ends with concerts at Ravinia on Aug. 9 and 17. 'For most of my life, the schedule of an orchestral musician has been the guiding rhythm — rehearsals, performances, travel, and, of course, practicing, which requires many hours each and every day,' she told the Tribune over email. 'But now, I feel a quiet pull toward a different kind of rhythm — one that makes space for more freedom, more spontaneity and perhaps a few surprises.' Life in the CSO has only gotten more bustling in recent decades. The orchestra often tops lists of the busiest American orchestras, calculated by the number of performances, rehearsals and other on-the-clock engagements. But playing under Fritz Reiner, the music director who hired Turner, brought its own intensity. Leading the CSO from 1953 to 1963, Reiner was a brutal taskmaster, the ensemble's musical excellence coming at the cost of some musicians' favor. Turner, however, fondly remembers the year she played under the Hungarian conductor's exacting baton. 'Maestro Reiner had a reputation for being intimidating, but on a personal level, he was very kind to me,' she says. 'There was an intensity and clarity to his leadership that brought out the best in all the sections of the orchestra. I understood from the very beginning that my performance had to be at the highest possible level. Anything less simply wouldn't do… In many ways, it shaped the way I approached my craft for the rest of my career.' Said craft is highly specialized. Today, second harpists are usually hired out as a freelance position and rarely part of permanent orchestra rosters. In repertoire that calls for more than one harp, the second harpist needs to be carefully attuned to the principal's sound in addition to their own. As Turner puts it, 'there's often an element of echo, shimmer, or color reinforcement in harp writing… and when the partnership clicks, it adds a real richness and depth to the texture of the ensemble.' That's easier said than done, according to Julia Coronelli, Milwaukee Symphony's principal harpist. '(Lynne) has a very signature sound that I've never heard anybody else recreate,' says Coronelli, who frequently sits next to Turner as a substitute in the CSO. 'I do think it's harder to play second harp in a lot of ways. You have to place everything with the principal player. That's very hard because of the immediate attack of the string.' The CSO's reputation as a world-class interpreter of Gustav Mahler's symphonies — which require supersized ensembles — means that Turner can be heard on the majority of the CSO's defining Mahler recordings. After joining the orchestra on its recent tour to the Mahler Festival in Amsterdam, Turner sought out the orchestra's 1971 recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 8 with then-music director Georg Solti. She was electrified all over again. 'It has been described as one of the greatest recordings of the 20th century, and I would agree,' Turner says. 'There was a sense among all of us that we were part of something momentous. The scale of the piece, the forces involved, the acoustics of the hall… It all added up to something unforgettable and enduring.' Another favorite CSO album, from 1976: David Del Tredici's 'Final Alice,' featuring soprano Barbara Hendricks and conducted by Solti. In that premiere recording, excerpts from Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland' tumble through a kaleidoscope of orchestral color. 'It was such a bold, imaginative work — wildly inventive and completely unlike anything else in the repertoire,' she says. Though not recorded, Turner likewise treasures the memory of accompanying Chicago Symphony Chorus members in Benjamin Britten's 'A Ceremony of Carols,' for treble choir and harp. For that performance, Turner worked closely with Margaret Hillis — not only the founding director of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, but the first to break the CSO podium's gender barrier. 'Margaret Hillis was an undeniable presence: commanding, insightful and absolutely wonderful to work with. She had a deep musical intelligence and a real sense for shaping a performance in a way that brought out its emotional core,' Turner says. In Coronelli's eyes, Turner has been a pathbreaker in her own right. According to CSO records, just a little over a dozen women had been in the orchestra before her tenure. At the time she was hired, Turner was one of just three women in the ensemble. 'Obviously, she had to be really strong to do that,' Coronelli says. Today, about 40% of the orchestra's membership are women. That progress is thanks, in part, to pioneers like Turner. 'Today, the CSO reflects a far broader range of voices and identities, and that shift has been both meaningful and necessary,' she tells the Tribune. 'I'm proud to have witnessed — and been part of — that evolution.' Four musicians are retiring from the CSO this year — including assistant principal trumpet Mark Ridenour, who was acting principal of that section between 2003 and 2005, and violinist Joyce Noh, who became the first Asian woman to join the orchestra when she was hired in 1979. Upon their retirements between the 2024/25 and 2025/26 season, harpist Turner and principal trombonist Jay Friedman will be the longest-serving CSO musicians in history, having both joined the orchestra in 1962. Hired in their early 20s by the legendary conductor Reiner, few audiences have known a Chicago Symphony without them. Look for a story about Friedman in an upcoming edition of the Tribune's A+E section.

Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle Ad Slogan Faces Backlash
Sydney Sweeney recently collaborated with American Eagle on their new fall clothing ad campaign. However, the advertisement has since received much criticism for its tagline: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' This is because many caught its racial undertone and believed it was tone-deaf. Sydney Sweeney faces backlash over new ad American Eagle recently uploaded a new video on their Instagram page. The footage shows Sydney Sweeney, clad in denim clothing, walking toward the clothing brand's billboard featuring her and the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes.' She painted all over the billboard and walked away, but not before striking out 'Genes' and writing 'Jeans' under it. The advertisement sparked disappointed reactions from fans, who took note of the original words 'Great Genes.' As per a report from Salon, the phrase has historically been used to celebrate whiteness, thinness, and attractiveness. 'This is what happens when you have no ppl of color in a room,' a fan wrote. They criticized the clothmaker for getting 'caught up' with 'clever' wordplay and missing what was 'blatantly obvious' to people of color. 'I'd expect this from Abercrombie… but not yall,' they added. 'Read the room…' one fan commented. Another shared, 'Welp, no longer shopping at AE ever again, and neither will my future children.' Neither Sydney Sweeney nor American Eagle has addressed the backlash against the ad directly. Fans can currently purchase Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle collection, also called Syd's Picks, from the official website. As of writing, several items are available at a discounted price from the original. American Eagle will feature the Euphoria actress on 3D billboards across the United States and on the exterior of Las Vegas' prominent landmark Sphere, as part of its latest advertisement campaign. Moreover, users can access a Snapchat lens where Sweeney will directly communicate with them. Furthermore, users can check out 'AI-enabled try-on technology so customers too can have great jeans' (via The Hollywood Reporter). In addition, the Anyone But You star worked with American Eagle on the 'Sydney Jean.' This is a limited-run version of the clothing brand's Dreamy Drape franchise. A butterfly design is present on the Sydney Jean, representing domestic violence awareness. Notably, American Eagle will donate 100 percent of the net proceeds from the jeans to Crisis Text Line, a non-profit that provides free and confidential text-based mental health support and crisis intervention.
