Celebrity Bowling Tournament for Autism Support
01.20.15
You can help raise much needed funds for families impacted by autism at Eddie Guardado’s 4th annual Stars and Strikes celebrity bowling tournament and fundraiser on Sunday, January 25 from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Bowlmor Lanes at Anaheim Garden Walk.
The net proceeds generated by this star-studded event presented by the Eddie Guardado Foundation along with ACT Today! will be used to provide direct support and assistance to families who do not have the means to provide the necessary treatment, therapy and tools for their children impacted by autism.
“We are blessed to have our families, friends, MLB Community and all the sponsors come out every year for Stars and Strikes to make this such a successful event,” Former All-Star MLB pitcher, Eddie Guardado, who will soon be the bullpen coach for the Minnesota Twins says. "As parents of a child with autism, my wife and I know first-hand the expense and resources required to provide the necessary treatments and tools to help that child be successful.”
This year’s Stars & Strikes looks to be even bigger and better than ever before with more than 120 bowlers, over 30 celebrity athletes, actors and actresses, and live and silent auctions.

Chef Steve Kling at Five Crowns Dine Newport Beach Menu
01.19.15
What’s not to love about chefs creating prix-fixe courses to please, knowing that many diners could be first timers at their restaurants? During this two-week culinary celebration, the Dine Newport Beach Restaurant Week through February 1, we picked some of our favorite restaurants that could be new to you, and you surely will love.
It’s been too long since we dined at Five Crowns in Corona del Mar, and if that’s the case for you as well, make your reservation for Executive Chef Steve Kling’s Restaurant Week menu.
Five Crowns is famous for its traditional prime ribs of beef with Yorkshire pudding, and by all means if that’s what you are craving, order it, but Chef Kling also went all out with three other delicious main choices. Choose from a hearty pork tomahawk over braised white beans, broccoli rapini, blood orange; or Grilled Mediterranean Sea Bass tomato, capers, fines herbes, spinach, potato puree; or a vegetarian option, Linguine kale “bolognese”, chili, parmigiano. Starter choices include a rich and delicious mushroom soup with chives, crème fraiche; or our favorite, Mary Alice’s Pride Salad kenter farm greens, toasted pistachios, manchego cheese, and smoked bacon.
The dessert choices include Grand Marnier cheesecake with raspberries, whipped cream or profiteroles coffee ice cream, chocolate. The cost for all of this great food, terrific service and English-style old country inn ambience is just $50 per person.
3801 E. Coast Highway in Corona Del Mar, CA 92625 949.760.0331.
