Triple D in the OC

This past Monday, the popular Food Network show "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" finally made its way into Orange County with its feature on Paul's Coffee Shop in Fountain Valley. Having eaten there a couple of times, I have to say that the tiny joint is a most worthy venue to break through such a barrier. The food is as good as it looked in the episode (I simply adore their corned beef), and their commitment to honoring the local military in pretty much everything they do is nothing short of insp… Continue

Bluewater Grill in Tustin

Seafood restaurants can be hit or miss, frequently a miss, but every so often the gods of the deep smile on you, and you find a real gem. Enter Bluewater Grill; “a seafood restaurant, not just a restaurant that serves
seafood” – in the words of the head chef, and it’s an important distinction to
make. At this restaurant, in the wee hours of the morning, the daily delivery
of fish arrives, and the chefs taste everything. If something isn’t up to their

Cha Cha’s Brings New Life to Old Mexico

By Rich Manning
