As a culinary student, Chef Suken was her mentor for Asian fusion foods, and now as the new owner of the restaurant, she continues the tradition of offering the best private dining experience with the best ingredients and best recipes available.

Eat This: Café Beautiful //RACHEL CHEON A beautiful private dining experience in Lawrence
Café Beautiful is a small, reservation-only restaurant located at 730 Massachusetts St. above Tonic. The chef prepares elegant 8-9 course meals consisting of various Japanese and Asian fusion foods, sushi being the specialty. Even though Café Beautiful does not have a sign outside or advertisements anywhere, Café beautiful has been in Lawrence for six years, and reservations for the week of Valentine's Day are already filled. Minh-Anh Pham, junior from Overland Park, went there with her boyfriend Yong Kam, senior from Seoul, South Korea in April last year. "From the dishes, quality, and ambiance, it was the best place to take my boyfriend for his birthday." savs Pham.
Melinda Roeder, chef and owner of the restaurant, took it over two months ago, after she got an offer from the founder and previous owner, Chef Suken. She first came to restaurant on a date
"You are only with the person you bring here. The intimacy, the pace of the night, and the experience is just so special." Roeder said. She cooks with local poultry and other ingredients from Kansas farmers. She buys fish from fishermen in New York, Seattle, and Honolulu. "I get to talk to the fisherman as he is yelling 'Hey, what are you pulling up down there?' to the shipman, and I get to ask him 'Hey, can I buy one of those?' and there's the fish on my doorstep, less than 24 hours in ice," says Roeder.

AT THE KANSAS CITY POWER & LIGHT DISTRICT
the starters only further revealed the depth issues on this Kansas squad.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich plans her execution during the first half of Wednesday's game against Texas. Goodrich had a record breaking 16 assists. Kansas defeated Texas with a final score of 85-61.
Only five Kansas players scored Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Releford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.
Robinson finished with 15 points his third-lowest total in Big 12 play, and 11 rebounds. He was picked up by junior center Jeff Withey's career-high 25 points, but consistency has been an issue for him.

When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall depth should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.
she sat courtside and watched her future point guard find open players and pass the ball with ease. So Henrickson was not surprised when Goodrich, a junior guard from Tahlequah, Okla., broke the Allen Fieldhouse single-game assist record last night in Kansas' victory against Texas.

Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.
"It's exciting." Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the jayhawks won again.
The Jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much defeated 85-61 victory at home
play.
"Coming off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you," Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just said, 'no more,' and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach," Texas coach Gail Goostenkens said.
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.
