Cheesy Hour
10.05.09
Cheese lovers, rejoice: Picnics Deli in Costa Mesa is offering a tasting of a selection of cheeses and assorted small plates for $15 on Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m. Past tastings have featured heirloom tomato gazpacho, meatballs and other tasty bites, including a glass of sparkling wine. The longtime gourmet foods shop has long been known for its array of posh deli fare and elegant catered goods, but it’s the cheese that shines here. Look for a carefully hand-selected variety of 40 to 50 cheeses, from Brillat-Savarin with raisin and Halloumi to new picks like Epoisses Berthaut and Gravenstein Gold. Picnics is at 435 E. 17th St., Costa Mesa. 949.722.7200.

Dinner at top-rated restaurant for $29!
10.04.09
It’s not every day that a top-rated restaurant in OC offers a two-course dinner for $29, but guess what? Marché Moderne at South Coast Plaza is doing just that through November. Chef-owners Amelia and Florent Marneau are celebrating fall with an Alsace-influenced menu, but if you don’t do pork, you’re out of luck. The dishes showcase “The Pig from Head to Toe,” six pork specialties with pressure-cooked choucroute, German butterball potatoes and a pungent Dijon mustard. Dessert will be Amelia Marneau’s apple tarte a l’Alsaciènne with vanilla-scented crème fraîche custard, and Chimay beer gelato. The menu will be available at dinner only.
