One of the hottest yearly events in California is the Congressional Cup Sailing Race off the Long Beach Memorial Pier. Think of one of the opening scenes of the Thomas Crown Affair, where they are racing sail boats. This is perhaps one of those events you should attend at least once in your life. This year’s race, the 49th, will feature some of the top skippers from around the world including Ted Turner (News Mogul), Ed Baird ( former America’s Cup Captain).  The event is free and open to the public with best viewing from the Belmont Pier. There will be post-race parties on Friday and Saturday. You can enjoy racing from 12:30-5:00 every day.

Sponsors of the race include Stella Artois Beer and Gelson’s Supermarket who will be providing drinks and refreshment for the crew and after parties.  On board some of the VIP boasts they will be pairing Beemster Vlaskaas, Bucherondin De Chevre and Humbolt Fog Cheese. 

A note about athletic nutrition for the participants of the race:  Like any athlete competing in a highly physical competition, proper pre-competition nutrition is critical for top physical and mental performance. During the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, rival track stars from the U.S. team noted that what they ate for breakfast could make the difference for who won a qualification race. Since then, athlete nutrition has been taken to the next level to ensure that they are mentally sharp and bodies primed for rapid and sustained physical activity. The Skippers of the Congressional Cup teams have been going through such nutrition regimens for the extremely demanding activity of competitive sailing.

Sunday is Funday! I am personally sick of stodgy Sunday Brunches with ambiance music and played out quiche.  A new trend is starting to emerge in the foodie scene, the rise of the hip Sunday Brunch. SideDoor in Corona Del Mar is helping to propel this movement forward, with their “SideDoor Sunday Sessions.”  This hip new brunch brings together a gourmet  brunch fare from acclaimed Chef Greg Harris, D.J’s spinning, and eclectic live art. Although SideDoor is not the first restaurant to introduce this concept, I have good feeling that they will nail it.

Their kick-off of the new Sunday Sessions will occur Sunday April 7th and will feature music and DJ styling from “StereoSystem Collective.”  Future Sunday brunches will also feature local painters, photographers and slam poetry.  They are encouraging walk-ins, so  reservations are not accepted.

The menu of the Sunday Brunch is upscale gastropub and will feature items that your Grandma might consider undignified for a proper Sunday Brunch. I think their creative spin on Sunday Brunch food is brilliant. One of the dishes that caught my eye is their “Duck Confit and Waffles.”  The following items have been announced for the Sunday Brunch menu:

SideDoor Sunday Brunch Duck Confit and Waffles !

• Green Eggs and Ham Benedict
• Tomato Scramble with Chanterelle mushrooms and roasted corn
• C0nfit Duck Drumettes buffalo wings
• Waffles and and Duck Confit
• Continental Pastry Basket with Lemon Curd and Marmalade
• Malted Waffles

SideDoor Sunday Brunch Green Eggs and Ham Benedict

Some of the favorites from the standard menu that will be featured include:

• SideDoor Avocado Mash
• Chicken Pot Pie
• Fish’n Chips

Libations:

• Requiem Espresso Stout
• SideDoor Mimosa
• Bloody Murray -prepared by cellar master Gregg Murray

So you forgot to make dinner reservations for Valentine’s Day and your cooking skills suck? If you are in a new relationship, you are in trouble and might find yourself eating dinner with your Mother at the local iHop.  This quick post offers some quick advice for Valentine’s Day procrastinators. 

Option #1 OpenTable.com is your personal consierge

 At this point, most nicer restaurants are booked up between 5:30-8:30pm on valentines day. As a result you will have to call around to see who has openings or you can be smart about it.  I recommend that you go to www.opentable.com and pull up all restaurants in your area and see what time slots are open. If you are lucky, you will find some restaurants with decent reservation times. See my screen shot below on how to do this.

Option #2 –Think outside the box

 Stay away from places that overlook the water or stuffy places with tea lights on the table, these are the restaurants that will be booked.  Look through your Facebook feed for your favorite restaurants posts;  restaurants with opening will be doing heavy advertising and will often offer special meals for the day.  I recommend you visit two articles written by fellow bloggers, who have some great ideas for restaurants on Valentines day. 

This first one is written by my wife, who operates www.DanisDecadentdeals.com; this article covers mostly Orange County and you will find some high-end restaurants that still had openings as of this morning and some non-traditional Valentine’s restaurants. 

http://danisdecadentdeals.com/2013/02/07/valentines-day-dinner-specials-in-the-orange-county-california-area/

The second article covers the South Bay of Los Angeles.  This article, from www.SurfSideSam.com offers some great restaurants that you might want to check out in the Manhattan Beach area. Great  restaurants in this article that I plan on visiting soon.

Good luck guys!

One of the more widely anticipated restaurant/bar openings in Orange County is ARC in the South Coast Collection center in Costa Mesa. The restaurant is set to open on February 8th (Friday) and will be offering Lunch, Dinner, and a late-night menu. The ARC will be focus on from scratch cooking and cocktails made from locally sourced fresh ingredients.  The restaurant will feature an open kitchen in a 2,000-square-foot location, 30 booth seats, 15 barstools indoors and will grow to feature two perimeter patios, a 20-guest front social patio and a 10-guest seated back patio.

The restaurant will focus on home made foods using only locally sourced fresh ingredients and artisan-crafted products that deliver original flavors . The result is, “hearty, rustic, oven-to-table food made for sharing, complemented by fresh, innovative cocktails.” The following items will be featured on the menu. 

• Meatballs with garlic and whiskey, served with toast
• Hearty chicken casserole with broccoli and cheddar
• Steak and potatoes with citrus and cream.

This is going to be a Chef centric restaurant as they will add a little bit of mystery to the menu. For example, the press release states, “the menu incorporates a bit of mystery with dishes such as the vegetarian option, which is simply described as being made from/with farm, fire, and love; as well as pig with black beans, maple and herbs, which does not specify the part of the animal featured.” Don’t be afraid, Chef/Partner Noah Blom is a culinary veteran with experience at top restaurants in New York, San Francisco and even the Shuck in the OC Mix. I am excited to see what he can pull off in this type of venue.

The bar will feature a craft cocktails that that will utilize fresh produce and artisinal products.  These cocktails will be made with love and quality ingredients, “our libations recall a simpler era when the sip replaced the slurp…Our Bar Chef Koire Rogers is focused on a classically crafted atmosphere that echoes our kitchen with a scratch bar where bitters, infusions, syrups and sodas are all made in house.”

From the press release

Current kitchen and bar menus can be founded online at http://www.arcrestaurant.com. ARC is located in Costa Mesa’s South Coast Collection (3321 Hyland Avenue, Suite F; 949-500-5561, and is open daily (opening hours 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., with addition of lunch beginning Saturday, February 9th for normal business hours from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.). News and specials can be found on ARC’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/arcrestaurant.

Some of you may remember my blog post last year about attending a whole sucking-pig feast at Haven Gastropub, as it was one of my favorite meals of 2012. Haven Gastropub is upping their game in 2013 and are now offering a “Head-to-Tail Dinner”

For Clarification, this is different than the Whole Suckling Pig Feast that I attended,  where the suckling pig was carved table-side. This Head-to-Tail Feast takes this concept and takes it up a notch. The talented Haven Gastropub Chefs will actually create a sophisticated six-course meal utilizing the whole animal. The Chefs will create unique dishes utilizing all parts of the animal from from head to tail. You have an option of using a whole adult pig or whole lamb. This is pretty impressive from my perspective as you can really experience unique cuts and preparations. If you ever tried the food at Haven Gastropub, you know they will step outside the box and deliver on presentation and flavor. I am adding this feat to my 2013 bucket list.

According to the press release, “pricing begins at $125 per guest with the option of beer, wine or cocktail pairings starting at $50 per guest.” They require a 8-person minimum and 2-weeks notice for this feast. This is definitely not your everyday meal in terms of price; although, this is a memory-making experience you could share together with family and  friends. 

Press Release from Haven Gastropub

Orange + Pasadena, CA (January 2013) – Haven Gastropub 

Executive Chef Greg Daniels has added 6-course Head-to-Tail Dinners to his already interesting menu that offers a blend of old world European fare with a modern American twist. Guests will have the option to order a whole animal – either pig or lamb – for parties of 8 or more, with a two-week advance notice. Haven Gastropub Chefs will present a 6-course menu utilizing parts from the entire animal! Pricing begins at $125++ per guest, with the option of beer, wine or cocktail pairings starting at $50 per guest.  As with all offerings at Haven Gastropub, these dinners will utilize naturally and humanely raised animals.

“The popularity of our Whole Roasted Suckling Pig Dinner led us to explore innovative ideas and expressions to keep our guests – and chefs – excited,” commented Executive Chef Greg Daniels, who along with Partners Wil Dee and Ace Patel, oversee Haven Gastropub locations in Old Towne Orange and Pasadena. “Guests will have the option of either pig or lamb and we will utilize the whole animal to create a 6-course head-to-tail dinner with the best locally grown and organic seasonal ingredients. This will be an exciting adventure for those looking for a unique dining experience.”

According to Managing Partner/Beverage Director, Wil Dee, each course on the menu will be paired with one of the craft beers always present on draft or one of more than 100 bottled craft beers. Dee adds that many of the dishes pair nicely with Haven’s selection of more than 70 whiskeys, scotches and bourbons, as well as a worldly wine list, with nearly 50 wines by the glass.

Guests may make inquiries and place orders, head2tail@havengastropub.com. To see Haven Gastropub’s food and beer/wine menus, visit http://www.havengastropub.com.

ABOUT HAVEN GASTROPUB
With locations in historic Old Towne Orange and Old Pasadena, Haven Gastropub is a unique concept where “pub meets gourmet grub.” Named “Best New Gastropub” by Draft Magazine, which touted it as one of three new restaurants across the country that have “breathed new life into the old gastropub concept.” Gastropub, a British term blending gastronomy and pub, sprouted in the 1990s and has seen a revival as the idea behind the concept was to provide a place where friends and family could gather in a warm comfortable setting and enjoy good conversation with quality food and spirited libations. Haven boasts a selection of beers on draught and more than 100 bottled craft beers. In addition, Haven serves more than 50 specialty single-malt whiskeys, scotches and bourbons; and a worldly wine list, with nearly 50 wines by the glass. Almost every dish on the menu has a beer or wine pairing suggestion.

The menu, created by Le Cordon Bleu-trained Executive Chef/Partner Greg Daniels, offers a blend of old world European fare with a modern American twist. The result is a refreshing combination of treasured dishes from around the world fused with familiar stateside staples.
