What's The Deal With OC Billionaires?
We've got the George Argyros-owned apartment empire "systematically ripping off" its largely poor or lower middle class tenants by fabricating excuses for not refunding deposits to literally thousands of people. We've got Donald L. Bren--owner of the Irvine Co. using strong arm tactics on small local businesses and, in a messy child support case in Los Angeles, declaring himself exempt from law because he's so rich. And, perhaps most colorful of all, we've got Henry T. Nicholas III--a founde

January 20, 2000Today: Mimi's Cafe in Laguna Niguel Giving Away $100 Gift Cards
Today only, Mimi's Cafe in Laguna Niguel, in celebration of its "grand reopening" of that particular restaurant with a new interior and new menu items, will have a ribbon cutting with the mayor at 7:00 AM, and giveaways throughout the day totaling about $5000. The best part is that the first 100 customers who are 18-years of age or older, will get $100 gift cards. The restaurant is at 27430 La Paz Rd. in Laguna Niguel. The restaurant hours are from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Though the free gift card
October 23, 2008Have A Baby, Have An Orgasm? What The?
The makers of a new documentary called "Orgasmic Birth" promise that such a thing is possible when you give birth without drugs, wheelchairs and stirrups. The enigmatic (and not immediately obvious) sensual secrets of childbirth will be revealed at a screening of the film tonight in Laguna Niguel. If you're still not convinced, there will be a panel of doctors, midwives, mothers, doulas and the like after the film to chat about the many (orgasmic?) ways women can give birth but are never told a
November 11, 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, 2009Former UFC Fighter Kimo Leopoldo Arrested in Tustin
TMZ is reporting that former UFC fighter Kimo Leopoldo was arrested this afternoon in Tustin after police discovered a "small amount of what is believed to be meth" in his car.What's interesting is what led them to search his car in the first place: He was dressed in a Long Beach police jumpsuit. He's still in custody, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Department, and police are looking into how he got his hands on the uniform in the first place. He is scheduled to appear in court
February 16, 2009Mimi's Cafe in Lake Forest Giving Away Free Gift Cards
Another Mimi's Cafe "re-opens", and another giveaway! The same thing happened when the Laguna Niguel branch debuted their new digs. Now it's Lake Forest. This Thursday, March 12th at 9:00 AM., the first 75 18-year-old plus guests will get gift cards. Since they plan to give away $3000 worth during the event, you can do the remedial math and work out that each gift card will be worth $40 -- not quite the $100 that the Laguna Niguel branch gave away back in October. But hey, we weren't o
March 9, 2009This Week In Food
Our fave posts from the last five days:Gustavo urged us to steer clear of the chilaquiles at the otherwise splendid Laguna Niguel's Break of Dawn, which unleashed a TORRENT OF SHOUTING FROM OUTRAGED RESIDENTS!!!!!!!!!!!.He also came across "the most pointless valet service in Orange County" (aren't they all?), at Geisha House.Matt appealed to our inner vegetarian/vegan with news of a local luncheon/dinner club. It was another week of discounts, with the newly revamped Zov's launching good-

September 20, 2007Understanding Laguna Niguel Through Twitter
Gustavo's always ragging on Laguna Niguel as being the lamest city in the county. I live in a neighboring town, and I gotta say, it's not so bad. Laguna Niguel has some good fast food! Real people do live in Laguna Niguel, and they do like it. How do we know? Twitter, duh. Here's a not-so-random sampling of recent tweets re: LN. Let's see what we can learn.Less one: It's pretty.SimplyJavi Good morning my lil twitters... Such a beautiful day in the hills of Laguna Niguel :)alieinna What I love ab
May 29, 2009Getting Ripped Off By Bland Food at Geisha House
I've eaten at restaurants where the bill came to more than $300 for two (the late, great Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel). Where the buffet cost $100 for two (Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel again). Over $100 for omakase for one (Hanamori). Many other places too expensive and too superfluous to remember. But never have I gasped at the final bill until visiting Geisha House in SanTana.Of course I wasn't expecting much, especially considering the idiocy that is their valet service and t
April 21, 2009Pablo Escobar, Other OC Tax Delinquents Snared
Pablo Escobar, now dead and probably not of Huntington Beach.The LA Times reports today that Burt Reynolds, Dionne Warwick and Sinbad are among the 250 folks who owe $143 million in back taxes, according to the California Franchise Tax Board's list of the top state tax delinquents.Orange County may not have the same celebrity firepower on the list. I mean, come on, LA's got Sinbad! However, our contingent of dodgers does include a prominent Laguna Niguel attorney who went after the assets

Loads of restaurants are running special menus this Sunday, but the Easter Brunch (10am-3pm) at the Pavilions in the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, is one for gourmets and splurgers. At $84 ($25 for kids), it's only $4 more than the normal brunch, and for that you get the likes of: Slow Roasted Prime Rib, Aromatic Herb Infusion, Paso Robles Zinfandel Reduction Toasted Cumin Masala Crusted Leg of Lamb, Cucumber Yogurt, Roasted Garlic Lamb Jus Sweet Spring Pea Bisque, Minted Truffle Foam (

August 19, 2009Sleepy South-County Towns Make US News's List Of Political Junky Zones
Ed Piskor / OC WeeklyA proponent of the Lance MacLean recall (blogged about earlier today) just tipped me off to a list in published in US News and World Report last week: "10 Cities for Political Junkies." Orange County towns comprise one-fifth of the cities on the list, which seeks to document "where those obsessed with political affairs live." You might assume Santa Ana, with its GOP-run county seat hemmed in by liberal-leaning ethnic communities and activist groups, would make the cut. Di
