05.12.21
Summer is around the corner, which means it’s time to sit back and relax and refresh with an icy beverage! Bayside Restaurant is ready for the season, and the incredible bar staff at the iconic Newport Beach spot have been busy creating a few new cocktails perfect for the warmer weather and laidback vibe
This beverage features High West bourbon and Sweet Vermouth for that elegant touch. Complemented by Angostura Bitters and a Cherry Garnish for that “cherry on top!” Served with one large ice cube for chilled perfection.
Get your “tiki” on with this tropical drink! Made with the Real Mccoy rum, this summer getaway-in-a-tiki-glass has orange juice, pineapple juice, and Orange Curaçao, with a dark rum floater and amaretto.
Bayside has teamed up with OCFoodies.com and Chambord for this new cocktail, special for the month of May. Featuring Chambord, Stoli Citrus, and lemon-lime sparkling soda, this summertime spritzer is garnished with fresh mint and served over ice, perfect for weekend brunch.

OC Entrepreneur Develops SoCal Grocery & Restaurant Delivery App
05.12.21
Jay Zhao, a young OC entrepreneur is behind the local grocery delivery app Sonic+ which was launched in April 2020, in response to the growing need for contact-free delivery due to the pandemic and California state and local shelter-at home orders.
Sonic+ began as an efficient food delivery app (currently available in the App Store and Google Play) that provided Orange County consumers access to door-to-door, “contactless,” cost-saving, high-quality grocery delivery all from the comfort of their Smartphone.
Working closely with local farmers and nationwide wholesale distributors, Sonic+ eliminated the middle parties, allowing customers to receive groceries that are more fresh and less expensive. 9-months later, this one-stop mobile food delivery experience expanded to include the delivery of supplies and services such as fresh flowers, house cleaning, car wash, moving services, and more.
Plans to grow Sonic+ across California are in play for 2021 with long-term national and international expansion to follow but currently Sonic+ is providing grocery delivery throughout Orange County (as well as parts of LA).
Prior to launching Sonic+, Zhao opened Gui BBQ Restaurant & Bar, a welcomed gastronomic addition to the Irvine area, with patrons waiting on average 2 to 3 hours for a table (pre-Covid). Gui BBQ Restaurant & Bar continues to thrive and receive 5-star Yelp reviews, even amidst the ever-changing in-door/outdoor social distancing rules.
