I have a very long history with Zov’s, so when I found out that a new location was opening in Anaheim, I was happy to be invited to a sneak peek before the grand opening! In 1987, the same year that Zov’s opened, my family was new to the Tustin area when I began going […]
Newport Beach Wine & Food Festival 2014 (Newport Beach, CA) #2
After yesterday’s amazing Day 1 of festivities at the Newport Beach Wine & Food Festival, I was wondering if it would be possible to match the festivities. No worries needed though, because it was absolutely lovely! As I teased yesterday, I attended the Indoor Kitchen Cooking demo by Shirley Chung of the soon-to-be-opened Twenty Eight. […]
Newport Beach Wine & Food Festival 2014 (Newport Beach, CA) #1
So you would think after last month’s L.A. Food & Wine Festival (see posts 1, 2, 3 & 4), I would have been wined and dined to my heart’s content. But come on folks, it’s me! Also, this is a different take on a food festival with all of the restaurants hailing the lovely city […]
Benley: A Vietnamese Kitchen (Long Beach, CA)

Crow Burger Kitchen (Newport Beach, CA)
Typically, I tend to avoid the Newport Beach area on weekends when the weekend crowd comes out to play. So when I found myself mere minutes from Crow Burger Kitchen relatively early, I was so in! The restaurant is tucked into a strip mall and has such a great vibe. You would never know it! Awesome atmosphere […]
The Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen (Fullerton, CA)
Having lived all around the vast area that is Southern California, I like to consider myself familiar with the best eating spots around. However, if you saw my Food Maps section for Southern California, before visiting the Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen, you would have seen a gaping hole over Fullerton. Well shame on me! I was […]
Lola’s Mexican Cuisine (Long Beach, CA)
One of the busiest restaurants in Long Beach’s Retro Row is Lola’s Mexican Cuisine, which has been open since 2008. The crowds are always evident in the outside parklet, but the inside and back patio are filled with hungry people awaiting fresh Mexican food! Let’s get to the food! Chips & Salsa Yes, maybe chips […]
