3D Theatricals and the OC Pavilion present "All Shook Up"

All Shook Up is a new musical comedy based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and built around a number of songs made famous by Elvis Presley. It takes place in 1955, somewhere in middle America, where one girl’s dream and a surprise visit from a mysterious leather-jacketed, guitar-playing stranger help a small town to discover the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll. Among the 24 songs featured in the score are classics like "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender," "Don’t Be Cruel," "Can… Continue

Another Case for Eating Like a Traveler, Not a Tourist

Anthony Bourdain once came up with the most succinct, poignant tip I have ever heard in regards to getting out of town for an excursion: When on vacation, the No Reservations host and guru of globetrotting implores everyone to “be a traveler, and not a tourist.” Indeed, important words from a man who certainly knows and lives of what he speaks. And these are words that, sadly, I am convinced are not heeded by a hefty chunk of the populace when they embark on a getaway, and it seems especially st… Continue

Cha Cha’s Brings New Life to Old Mexico

By Rich Manning

When you hear the phrase “Mexican restaurant,” what initially comes to mind? Chances are, your bean is instantly populated with thoughts of buildings laid heavy with faux crumbling adobe, archways, and other amenities designed to mimic something from days of yore (or in Orange County’s case, days of Yorba).…

Don the Beachcomber by Rich Manning

The Polynesian motif has managed to cultivate a somewhat maligned reputation over the years in the food and drink scene. Once a proud beacon of trendy coolness, the setting designed to bring the wonders of the Pacific to the mainland have garnered a perception of forgettable food ma…

Haven Gastropub by Rich Manning

Last week, a friend and I were having a discussion about experiencing great food while we happily consumed fish tacos. After sharing a tale with me about how this particular chocolatier in New York City has permanently cast other chocolates in a lesser light, he confessed that his love for this cocoa-infused art led him to realize that he would gladly experience the best type of food the world has to offer, then spend the rest of his days in anger over the fact that the globe cannot offer anythi…
