Make it a Habit
09.14.12
Prior to the official opening of The Habit Burger Grill in Huntington Beach, the new location will be hosting three fundraisers Sunday and Monday, with all sales going directly to local Huntington Beach nonprofits.
On Sunday, from noon to 2 p.m., proceeds will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley; and from 5 to 7 p.m. sales benefit the Bolsa Chica Conservancy. On Monday, from noon to 2 p.m. proceeds will go to the Huntington Beach Education Foundation.
The Habit offers much more than its delicious signature flame-grilled Charburger, they have great salads, tossed to order from hand-cut ingredients and tasty sandwiches.
18001 Beach Boulevard at Talbert in Huntington Beach.

Man Can Cook Too
09.14.12
Give the man in your life, the greatest gift he didn’t know he needed: a chance to improve his cooking skills with a locally renowned self-taught chef, Michael Harris. Sign him up for a Man Can Cook class Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Anais+Raya in Costa Mesa. At this Pop Up class Harris will lead students through a simple, three-course meal to make for friends, with Sommelier Mario Luna pairing wines with courses. Although a casual and fun atmosphere is guaranteed, the depth of culinary knowledge shared from these two pros is anything but frivolous.
The menu starts with Hawaiian-style salmon poke; followed by a main course: the perfect steak, with spaghetti aglio e olio, and grilled brussels sprouts with bacon and caramelized onions. Dessert will be the Harris’ version of famous Ramos House chocolate pudding.
There are a few seats left, so reserve your spot by $55 pre-payment at the PayPal account mxjxharris@yahoo.ie
The price is all-inclusive, with plenty of dish and wines samples. Everyone will take home a copy of the recipes and stories behind them, and a Man Can Cook collector’s item apron.
Anais + Raya is at 435 E 17th St. in Costa Mesa.
