Orange County's going to be home to a restaurant by an Iron Chef. No, not Batali. No, not Morimoto either. It's Cat Cora -- the lone female Iron Chef.
But first, let me clarify that the planned restaurant -- called CCQ for Cat Cora's 'Que -- is actually going to be paired up with Nancy Silverton's La Brea Bakery and a burger bar by Marcus Samuelsson. Not only that, all three will be housed together inside the Macy's at South Coast Plaza.
Also, according to QSR Magazine, she'll be sharing s
Was doing what everyone else was doing last Saturday: shopping.
Well, that's not true. I was with someone who was shopping. And it was while I was waiting for her at the shoe department that I noticed this odd sight you see to the left -- a line to get a seat at Nordstroms' Cafe.
Well, at least it was odd to me, because if hunger struck while I was at SCP, I wouldn't have even considered Nordstroms' Cafe.

I eat Brussels sprouts precisely once a year. On December 25, to be exact. I know they're good for me, with their fancy schmancy vitamin A, vitamin C, folic acid, fiber and sinigrin (the last two are believed to protect against colon cancer).But, yet, despite their impressive credentials, I could take or leave them - and leave them I do.Nonetheless, I'm sometimes tempted to try the ole sprouts-bacon-breadcrumbs combo, especially when the recipe comes from none other than Nancy Silverton, famed f

We may have been thwarted in our attempt to get tickets to see Obama speak at the OC Fair & Event Center later today, but that doesn't stop us from trying to guess where he might fill up on his OC jaunt, should hunger strike. Both Barack and Michelle are known for their love of food. They don't eat healthily all the time, by their own reckoning, but they enjoy what they eat, whether it's comfort food or more upmarket fare. Eddie Gehman Kohan at Obama Foodorama kindly gave me a few tips, nam
This side dish is available at the Cat Cora BBQ counter at Macy's Signature Kitchen, South Coast Plaza. Broccoli slaw, sold in bags at Trader Joe's, isn't everyone's go-to choice, granted, but once combined with the dressing (adapted from Cora's grandma's recipe), it makes this tasty--not to mention healthy--crunchfest.
