The same day Jewish filmmaker Jesse Eisenberg spoke with me via Zoom, he appeared on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” where his rapid-fire delivery and neurotic jumpiness were on full display.

After nearly 70 years of serving up comfort food and equally comforting memories, Frank & Helen’s, a beloved fixture in University City, is closing its doors for good Dec. 8.

As regular readers know, I am a sucker for entirely predictable made-for-TV holiday movies. Little does it matter to me that five minutes into the plot, it’s clear who’s going to wind up with whom two hours later.
