Yet another restaurant slips into history while another begins to write its own. Ferdussi Taste of Persia — the Santa Ana institution that proudly wore its Best of OC badge from OC Weekly on its door — closed a few months ago. Now open in its place, is a new Mexican place called La Terraza.
I haven't tried La Terraza, but I will miss Ferdussi.
One interesting tidbit: The OC Weekly sticker is still there.
Before becoming an award-winning restaurant critic for OC Weekly in 2007, Edwin Goei went by the alias “elmomonster” on his blog Monster Munching, in which he once wrote a whole review in haiku.
