"Crab cakes sounds good. How about that French brie too?" --Then-Sheriff Mike Carona pausing temporarily in August 2007 from plotting how to foil a federal grand jury corruption probe during a meeting at a Newport Beach restaurant with Don Haidl, his onetime assistant sheriff who is secretly wearing a wire for the FBI.

November 7, 2008Mother's Market Don't Know its Mexicans
Don't get me wrong--I like Mother's Market, our homegrown Whole Foods. I make it a point to support businesses that subscribe to the principles of the Slow Food movement--we all are sinners (except for the do-gooders at Avanti Cafe), so I understand slip-ups or exceptions occur from time to time. But I was still surprised when I saw Cacique cheese on the shelves of Mother's location in SanTana amongst organic, fair-trade offerings. I'm very familiar with the brand, having eaten the queso fresco

December 18, 2008Top Chef Drama Continues After Credits Roll
If you don't already know (WARNING: SPOILER) on the Top Chef finale the other night; Hosea won. Stefan got his comeuppance. But the real story that evening and the morning after was how Carla lost. Blame was put squarely on the shoulders of her sous chef, past TC contestant and Jennifer Aniston doppelgänger, Casey. The two items that torpedoed Carla's chances (the sous-vide steak and the souffle) was shown on the show to be Casey's idea. There were tears, there were fingers pointed,
February 27, 2009More St Patrick's Day Treats--At Charlie Palmer, Bloomingdale's
Dig into some delish-sounding Irish-themed comfort food at the lounge at Charlie Palmer, South Coast Plaza, on Tuesday, March 17. Chef Amar Santana will be showcasing ingredients traditionally associated with the Emerald Isle, including the requisite cabbage, corned beef and potatoes, but he's also adding Cashel Blue cheese and Bushmills Whiskey into the mix. Not all in the same dish, of course--that would be hideous.The special dishes are:Kelly Eisenberg Corned Beef and Cabbage, Fresh Horseradi

August 2, 2007Dining On A Dollar At Daphne's
In my neverending quest for good-quality budget chow, I thought I'd give the Greek café chain a shot. The $1 menu items were crying out to be sampled, and though I didn't hold out much hope ('how good can they be for a buck?' was my cynical approach), I was pleasantly surprised.First, there's the lemon chicken soup: okay, it's only a dollar if you order an entrée too (otherwise it's $3.19)... But was lovely: soothing, creamy and tangy, all at once. Perfect comfort food, especially for someone

August 13, 2009"No Scrimping" for Lucca's Fourth Birthday Bash On Wednesday
In a nation where restaurants shutter at an alarming rate, it's nice to see one thriving after four years. (The oft-quoted figure of 90 percent going under after 12 months is thought to be way too high, although the recession will no doubt have caused the more realistic 25 percent rate to go up.)The restaurant in question is Lucca, in Irvine. It's marking the big day next Wednesday, August 26, at 6 p.m., with a lavish celebratory dinner (reservations required). Okay, it does cost $85 per pers

October 15, 2009Recipe of the Week: Nigella's White Chocolate and Raspberry Cheesecake*
* Dieters look away now!I found some luscious, juicy raspberries at Trader Joe's at the weekend, was but stumped for ideas about what to do with them. Somehow, to me, savory dishes with fruit don't appeal, and a bowl of berries with cream is plain boring.The result is today's recipe, which is courtesy of the gorgeous, voluptuous, so-called "Domestic Goddess", Nigella Lawson. For those of you unfamiliar with her, she's the daughter of a British politician who, for the last decade or so, has ca
September 23, 2009Dueling Dishes: Aioli Smackdown?
The Crow Bar's cool-as-hell logo...Few culinary trends annoy me more than the spread of aiolis (pun intended)--just seeing the term on most any menu is a tell that the chef imagines himself to be some high-falutin', fusion-y maestro who's going to blow you away with something that's really glorified mayo. Screw that--give me Sriracha or some mustard. But last week, I had the chance to taste two exemplary version of the condiment, each superb, each unexpected. The first one was at Phans55 in
