Urban Eats: A Lunch Oasis in Burbank
I'm in Burbank frequently and often find myself very preoccupied with finding a good lunch place. I've exhausted all the places on San Fernando near the Burbank Media Center and usually I just want a good sandwich that isn't in sub form (although Santoro's Italian Cold Cut is a favorite) or isn't something from Porto's (again, another frequently visited spot). Across from Porto's I've found what seems to be an anomaly in Burbank: a minimalist gourmet café called Urban Eats. The menu is mainly comprised of healthy salads and sandwiches. You can also order meats a la carte like marinated grilled steak, seared sesame ahi or grilled chicken breast and pair them with a variety of sides like cilantro lime rice, mac n' cheese or roasted beets & feta salad. I also really like the fact that you can design your own salad, choosing from a pretty ample list of “choppings" and cheeses.
Come On, Have a Taste!
There is only one day left to send your palate off to paradise, and Saturday is the ticket as the Taste of Vail continues with cooking, wine seminars and the Grand Tasting and Dance. The Taste hit turbo drive on Friday with the Mountaintop picnic, in which dozens of the valley’s most exquisite restaurants offered exotic and delicious dishes and wineries handed out samples of their most coveted reserves. The desserts topped the treat totem for us. Vail Gourmet Cookie CO. had plenty of people loitering around its baskets of mint chocolate shortbreads and caramel-injected brownies while Chap’s dished out mini limoncello custard cakes with blueberry compote. You’re drooling, aren’t you?The savory offerings ranged from fish tacos to Colby meatballs to brie soup with truffles.If any of this sounds appealing, here’s what’s left to taste on Saturday, April 14.9:30 to 11 a.m.: The Food Network’s Michael Chiarello demonstrates the art of Southern Italian Cuisine at the Lionshead Marriott12 to 1:30 p.m.: Spanish Wine Seminar discussion and tasting of Spain’s comeback into the world of indulgent grape beverages at the Lionshead Marriott.2:30 to 4 p.m.: Grape nuts will have a ball with this rare chance to taste eight vintages from Domaine Louis Latour at the Vertical Tasting; Lionshead Marriott.7 p.m.
Political coverage presented challenges from many quarters
As we, election reporters, toiled over our profiles, we kept an eye out for habits or themes in our candidates personalities that would explain to the readership something about who they are. Jerry Wade has his umbrella. Gary Kespohl has his Little League. Karl Skala has the vest. I covered Mike Holden, and Mike drinks yellow Gatorade. It was the first thing I wrote down about him at our first interview. He had it with him at his office, at candidate forums, nearly every time I saw him. No Rain, Frost or X-Factor flavors for Mike. Not even coffee, tea or soda. Of all the flavors and types of drinks in the world, Mike drinks the original lemon-lime Gatorade developed in 1965. That is Mike Holden. .
Dim sum and then some: Amy Tan's San Francisco
This, according to best-selling author Amy Tan. But Chinatown is the setting for so many of her novels, practically a character. A place of intrigue. Exotic, colorful, dreamy. Chinatown can be fun, Tan concedes. It's just that now there's a cooler, lesser-known part of town where the newest immigrants from China, Vietnam and Russia have settled: in the Richmond District, around Clement Street. That's just one of Tan's favorite haunts in the city that has been her home for 30 years, and the place of her dreams during the years she spent growing up on the fringes, in a series of Bay Area towns, including Oakland and Hayward. To a suburban teenager in the late 1960s, San Francisco emitted a siren's call. "My vision of the city was formed during that time," Tan says.
