Ronnie Arnold of K'ya Street Fare, Part One


Drive up Harbor Boulevard in the Anaheim Resort and you might think the only things to eat are pre-made burgers, dreadful pancakes and fancy-yet-still-corporate steak. You'd be missing something, though, because at the very top of the district, in the Hotel MĂ©nage, lies K'ya Street Fare, a street-food North County outpost of the very popular Laguna Beach bistro.

Ronnie Arnold is the executive chef at K'ya and this week he's on the line with us.
