Greer's OC

Stop by the A Restaurant tonight and every Tuesday from 6 to 9 p.m. through Nov. 26 to cheer on and watch screenings of Sugar Ray’s drummer Stan Frazier as he appears on BBC America’s “Chef Race: U.K. vs. U.S.”  The multi-talented artist is also a passionate home chef who participated as a contestant of the reality show produced by Jamie Oliver.

The show follows eight Brit chefs versus eight American chefs as they compete and race across the country armed with their cooking prowess and business acumen with an eye on the prize-- $100,000 will go to the winner. Come out and enjoy the show, support Frazier, and sip wine and taste appetizers. The A’s happy hour menu is available from 3 to 7 p.m. daily.

A Restaurant is at 3334 West Coast Highway in Newport Beach. For more information, call (949) 650-6505.
