Súp Noodle Bar (Irvine, CA)

I was already a fan of Súp Noodle Bar, so I headed to the newest Irvine location to try a secret menu “Stir-Fried/Shaken Style” Pho dish inspired by Anthony Bourdain’s visit to Vietnam. The pho is served with a secret stir-fry sauce, flat noodles, and a side of pickled garlic and chiles. It’s a secret […]

Romeo and Juliet.  Peanut butter and jelly.  Peas and carrots.  Some things were just made for each other and The Dirty Cookie capitalizes on one of our favorites: cookies and milk!  Opening in the new Union Market at The District in Tustin, I was excited to spy the sign hanging on the wall and pop […]

Zov’s (Anaheim, CA) – Grand Opening!

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 […]
