| Easter Basket Recall Announced in Florida
Now that the Easter baskets have been opened, parents and children should be mindful of warnings about certain children's products, according to a Florida newspaper. Watchdog group Consumers Union have cautioned against the eating of Italian-made Kinder Surprise Eggs, hollow chocolate eggs that contain small toys, according to the Florida Sun-Sentinel. The eggs were banned in the U.S. in 1997 but still make it to stores through gourmet sweet shops, candy merchants and ethnic importers. Click here to read the Sun-Sentinel story. In addition, Consumers Union has declared a voluntary recall of about 8,500 Disney plush Easter baskets, whose small ribbons and beads could be considered a choking hazard for small children. The baskets, which are manufactured by Gemmy Industries, are pink and purple plush and themed after the Disney Princesses.

Fire up the convection oven, break out the gourmet sea salt and ready that basting wand. Chefs - their restaurants, their profession, their lives - are cooking up a storm in pop culture. In a tasty bit of culinary synchronicity, the lives of professional chefs and restaurant themes are playing out in movies, on television and in print.
The recent publication of "Cooked: From the Streets to the Stove, from Cocaine to Foie Gras," a memoir by chef Jeff Henderson, was quickly followed by news that actor Will Smith has optioned the rights to star in a film about the one-time coke dealer who learned the joys of cooking in prison and went on to become the executive chef at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The same team that made "Pursuit of Happyness" (which earned Smith an Oscar nomination) will produce the film version of this redemption memoir.

Posher side of Pismo Beach
(04-15) 04:00 PDT Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo -- While waiting at the counter to buy a cup of Splash Cafe's sinfully rich clam chowder, I heard a local resident mutter to her companion, "Get this stuff now, before all the Bakersfield people start showing up." For decades, Central Valley residents have swarmed to Central California's beach cities in an attempt to escape the suffocating heat of summer. Bakersfield folks tend to go south of San Luis Obispo, to Pismo Beach and Avila Beach; people in the city where I grew up, the also-stifling Visalia, chose Cayucos, north of San Luis Obispo. I was always envious that Bakersfield claimed Pismo; not only did it have one of the coolest city names ever, it's where Bugs Bunny snacked on clams after tunneling in by way of cartoon Baghdad. Bugs didn't do Cayucos.
