Eat Out and Help Out
06.25.12
A local foodie’s favorite spot in downtown Brea, Cha Cha’s Latin Kitchen, is giving back to the community today through Thursday with a charity event to help a local single mom, named Linda, who is in need of financial help while fighting both cancer and heart failure. Her story touched the heart of Cha Cha’s co-owners Don Myers and Peter Serantoni, who found out that she had lost her job and is living in a local hotel with her girls.
The restaurant will offer a “Giveback Menu” featuring three-courses for $24.95. Ten dollars from every sale of this menu will go directly to Linda’s family, to help cover her medical expenses. Guests can also make monetary or gift card donations, which will be collected at Cha Cha’s or at Southland Church on 2950 East Imperial Highway in Brea.
Cha’s Cha’s features a California-Latin inspired menu with savory dishes prepared in the wood-fired oven, free-range Jidori chickens are roasted to perfection and tacos are topped with homemade fire-roasted salsas. In the lively lounge enjoy handcrafted cocktails made with freshly squeezed juices, house-made infusions, and seasonal fruit.
Cha Cha’s offers popular happy hour fare, and live Latin bands make it a festive ambience. Open 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday; 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday; 11:30 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday; and Sunday 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; Sunday brunch form 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and dinner nightly. Cha Cha’s is at 110 W. Birch St., Brea. For more information visit [url=http://www.chachaslatinkitchen.com]http://www.chachaslatinkitchen.com[/url] or 714.240.1055.
New Menu at Crow Bar and Kitchen
06.03.12
The Crow Bar and Kitchen in Corona del Mar just announced their new menu by James Beard nominated chef John Cuevas. The menu is a pleasure to read. It not only features their famous burgers but also gives history of the importance of local farms, and their beer list is hard to put down.
For example, their guest keg Stone’s More Black than Brown IPA reads deep brown, a bit hazy, with tan foam, a powerful hop blend. Modest body with lingering bitter, drying end hints of roasted malt/chocolate. After reading that, how can you not want to wash down your BBQ pork belly sliders with that tasty IPA.
As opposed to a place like the Counter, which trusts the diner to make good menu decisions, the Crow Bar invites you to trust Chef John Cuevas. His signature crow burger made with five ounces of their proprietary blend of all natural angus and prime beef with tallegio and gorgonzola, house made ketchup, wild rocket on a rosemary bun is a solid menu choice paired with their new wild arugula salad with candied bacon, a poached ranch egg, sherry dressing and pecorino romano.
Whatever you try on their new menu it will not disappoint. After a long day at the beach this summer, give the new items a try as well as kick back with some familiar favorites.
