the rest at the link aboveTanya Tandoc wasn’t only the well-known owner of Tanya’s Soup Kitchen, a popular East Douglas eatery. The 45-year-old food guru also was a devoted belly dancer.
So when she didn’t meet fellow dancers as planned at 5:30 p.m. Thursday for a Riverfest performance, they went to check on her.

Although Curt Mitchell reportedly told police that Tandoc was his girlfriend, she definitely was not, her friends said.
One of them, Lalanea Chastain, described the relationship between Tandoc and Mitchell this way: “He was a charity case, and she wanted him out, and he wouldn’t leave. She had such a big heart.”
Mitchell, a guitarist and singer, had a drinking problem, Chastain said.
“But she wouldn’t kick him out because she didn’t want him to be homeless.”
