White Horses, the esteemed restaurant by Marc Norris that we dubbed the Best Restaurant in Orange County, is going to serve its last meal June 30th. Immediately afterwards — like the next day — new owners will take the reins (pun intended). Their restaurant will be an Italian one called OltreMare.
So where is Chef Norris going after he leaves his San Clemente Pier baby to new parents? Well, not that far, actually. He's slated to open a new venture called Crispin on the site of an old Baker's Square at 610 Camino de los Mares, San Clemente.
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.
