Who were you rooting for during the finals of Top Chef Masters? My money was on Hubert Keller to win, but I was fine that Rick Bayless took the title. But whoever your favorite was, you can meet one of them yourself next Tuesday.
Michael Chiarello, the other finalist, will be signing books and hosting a sampling of chocolates and wine (including his own) at South Coast Plaza's NapaStyle next Tuesday, December 1st from 6 to 8 p.m. RSVP by calling NapaStyle at (714)825-0445.
Don't bring up what happened with Dale. Or maybe you should!
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.
