30 people at this event. It will be just a casual pool party, and I’d like to keep the costs down as much as possible. At first I thought about hiring a taco caterer, but I don’t think our association would be OK with...

Eight buisness associates from New York and China in for dinner, requested Thai, Chinese or Vietnamese. As we are centered at South Coast Plaza, with a car, I suggested Vietnamese in Little Saigon. Any recco’s for a nicer...

I’ve always associated the Bear Pit in Mission Hills with that kind of barbecue, whether it technically is or isn’t. The various remaining Chris & Pitt’s also, no?

This would be my choice also. Took business associates, from Hong Kong there and we all ate like kings for around $35.00 a piece. Dungeness crab two ways, one giant lobster, enough for six, fresh from the tank, seafood fried...

Her time had past. Her heyday was back when Studio 54 was open. I read the New York food section but never her. I could never tell if she was writing about her self or the restaurant. I certainly don’t need to associate her...
