Three days. Three meals. Stand and shoot: H. Salt Fish & Chips 18856 Brookhurst St., Fountain Valley Don't: Stop by for lunch. It'll take a small lifetime. And the seating area's tight. Do: Step in if you like your seafood caked in batter. And if you don't mind that everything tastes the same. Stone Fire Grill 18727 Brookhurst St., Fountain Valley Do: Come on down if you like EVERYTHING with cheese. Cheese dumped on your salad and bread and mixed into your mashed potatoes.

July 3, 2007Piss and Fluoride; one, two knockout combo for dental health
Orange County scored an article in the New York Times today on the planned November 30 unveiling of its glorious world’s largest plant devoted to "purifying sewer water to increase drinking water supplies." For decades, water agencies all over the country have purified sewer water and dumped it back into rivers or used it for irrigation, but the water district's new facility in Fountain Valley will be one of only about a dozen nationwide converting reclaimed water for, ehem, drinking, accordi

If 7-Eleven and Mitsuwa sired an offspring, that child would be Famima!! And contrary to what may seem like an overenthusiastic beginning to this post, the exclamation points -- both of them -- are part of the brand name concocted by FamilyMart, the Japanese company with over fourteen thousand such stores throughout the planet, including about a half dozen already in L.A. The first Orange County store opened in Fountain Valley last week, hawking onigiri and boxed sushi, "gourmet" sandwiches an
July 20, 2008Fountain Valley's Peruvian Kitchen Moves to Irvine
So here's what happened since we last checked in: Lima City (a Peruvian food stall in an Irvine food court I previously reviewed) is gone, replaced by Peruvian Kitchen, who moved out from its Fountain Valley digs, which is now occupied by another Peruvian restaurant called Casa Inka. I won't attempt to explain the reasoning behind this game of Peruvian restaurant musical chairs, except to say that it sounds like the plot of a bad telenovela. But whatever may have occurred behind the scenes,

June 15, 2006Update: Peruvian Kitchen in Irvine Closed?
For as long as I can remember, there has always been a Peruvian food stall at the Main Street Food Court in Irvine. It was called Lima City for years, though it changed hands at least twice during its tenure. Then Peruvian Kitchen took it over sometime this past summer, moving out of its spacious Fountain Valley digs to Lima City's cramped quarters. In the meantime, the old space it vacated became Casa Inka, which I reviewed. Now it appears that Peruvian Kitchen has folded. Our intrepid friend,
November 13, 2008Gustavo's Top Five Hole-in-the-Walls of 2008
I tend to stay away from lists 'cause they're so easy to spit out, but guess what? With crazy deadlines this week, a cover story to turn in ASAP, and the fact that most of ustedes are probably too drunk to get up and read, you get lists for the next three days from me! Here's the first one: my top five hole-in-the-wall restaurants I reviewed this year:1. Las Brisas de Apatzingan: Yeah, it's in a seedy part of SanTana, and the restaurant can sometimes get dirtier than what's acceptable even for d
December 29, 2008Edwin's Top Ten Dishes of 2008
After seeing Gustavo's two wonderful lists, I've decided that I want to play, too!Here are ten of my favorite dishes of 2008, in no particular order: - Tuna danish at 85°C Bakery Café in Irvine. - Rice and beans at Baja Fish Tacos in Santa Ana. - Tau hu ky at Com Tam Tran Quy Cap in Fountain Valley. - Sisig at Magic Wok in Artesia (I know, not in O.C., but this is MY list). - Both flavors of fried chicken wings at Kyochon in Stanton. - Ci tuan fan at Champion Food Co. in Fountain Va
December 31, 2008Howard Ahmanson Jr. Only the Second Biggest Hater
Gustavo's pal Howard F. Ahmanson Jr. just missed the top spot on the Dishonor Roll published online by Californians Against Hate. The Knights of Columbus of New Haven, Conn., gave $1.425 million to the campaign for the same-sex-marriage-barring Prop. 8, while Howie only ponied up $1.395 million.Hey, it was a tough year.Other Orange County haters of note include former state Sen. Rob Hurtt, who owns Container Supply Co. in Garden Grove and gave $550,000, just edging out repellant James Dobson's F
February 3, 2009$3 Ramen This Weekend at Hakata Ramen Shin-Sen-Gumi
Attention all noodle-nerds, soup-slurpers, and rameniacs! This weekend (Feb. 21 and 22) Hakata Ramen Shin-Sen-Gumi in Fountain Valley is offering bowls of their ramen for $3 to the first 550 customers (or thereabouts). I'm not sure what the occasion is, but it's happening. And I don't need to tell you that $3 is an insane price for ramen. I routinely spend $10 on lunch there. And if by chance you are a big eater, here's the tip everyone in-the-know already knows: Eat all the noodles

There's a city by that name sandwiched between Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove and Seal Beach. Strange but true: there's one in England, too. Someone named Abbie lives there.2.

We've talked before here about the struggles of Comic Universe in Fountain Valley, but now it's official: the store is closing its doors as of tonight.But at least it's going out the right way: music from Okashii, the Flying Saucers and DJ Oldboy, along with (as you can see from the flier), "music, food, beverages and free comics."

Not a lot, as far as we can tell, although it does offer fresh lychee as a topping, which you can't get everywhere.And for those froyo fans who missed it, here's a link to Edwin's impressive list of all the SoCal froyo chains (nearly 50!).

September 1, 2009Flier of the Week: Guitar Doctor Benefit at Fountain Valley
Sort of a weak field for fliers this week--probably because of the long weekend and all that. People's minds are on cookouts and celebrating the fruits of our labor, not on designing fliers. But this one has a nice, simple layout (as opposed to the crammed fliers with pictures of every act lifted from their MySpace that constitutes plenty of show advertisements these days). You've got your info, a guitar (makes sense, because it's a benefit for a guitar repair shop), a sassy pin-up gal and a
