Hidden in a shopping center full of large chain restaurants, near Angels Stadium and down the street from the Honda Center, is Prime Cut Café and Wine Bar. The philosophy behind this modern steakhouse was to bring a contemporary approach to American food, does it really well and at a better price than most upscale [...]
California’s controversial ban on foie gras goes into effect on July 1. As the deadline nears, foie gras proponents have hosted fundraiser dinners all over the state. Orange County is no different. On Monday, May 14, Haven Gastropub Executive Chef and partner Greg Daniels joined forces with other Orange County chefs to host a dinner [...]
Jason and I started this whole Foodie blog thing because of Food Network Channel’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (Triple D) TV show, yet we’ve hardly written about half of the Triple Ds we’ve eaten at. (Too much food, so little time!) But we couldn’t eat at Benny’s Seafood a second time without writing a few [...]
We have not been shy about the fact that we love the Slice Truck. The challenge has been that they are very hard for us to get to. And the few times they’ve come to the O.C. it has been for festivals. We love this gourmet food truck! . (Check out our original article here.) [...]
A couple years ago, Kim and I had the chance to try Umami Burger in Los Angeles. The only negative about Umami was that they were 50+ miles away from us. It’s worth the drive, but hard to do regularly when you are craving a really great burger. We have been waiting for their much-anticipated [...]

While in Portland checking out some of the city’s many food trucks and carts, I noticed a particular cart that had a line clearly longer than everyone else. It was a very simple cart, no fancy paint job, but with a huge line so I was intrigued and had to check it out. They offer [...]
Tabu Shabu is the new restaurant concept from Jeff Chon, the force behind reviving The Alley, a Newport Beach restaurant and bar. If you’ve never had shabu, it doesn’t have to be intimidating. It is a Japanese hot pot, where you cook your own food in front of you. It’s similar to fondue, where you [...]
Somewhere in the Twitterverse, I found out about a place called Vault Martini. It is a martini lounge that offers over 140 specialty martinis. Yes, that’s right 140. They also offer 44 takes on the classic martini. For someone that has spent the last 10 years trying to create new martinis from scratch, this place [...]
I was a bit cynical to try yet another Korean-Mexican “fusion” place, due to the oversaturation of wannabes that have popped up and greatly disappointed me, but none of the other carts in this particular Portland pod were tempting my palette on this day. I ordered pan-fried vegetable potstickers and chicken Kogi tacos. Wow, was [...]
