We’re still celebrating the 4th Of July so you’re cordially invited. This Saturday morning we’re at the Golden Road Pub OC at the Anaheim Golden Road Production Brewery located right across E. Orangewood Avenue from the south entrance to our home at Angel Stadium. At least 35 rotating styles of premium craft beer on tap to sip and savor. Hoppy 4th to all! (That’s a touch of beer humor…) Salud!

Now an engaging preview of this Saturday’s properly effervescent show. It’s not, with profuse apologies, for dieters. If we’re successful we will always leave you incredibly hungry and thirsty. In our case, upon careful reflection, that’s probably a pretty good thing…

It’s now officially Summer and the best of the Summer crop of fresh fruits is now readily available. It’s a bounty of everything from juicy grapes to ripe figs. Our resident produce authority, Robert Schueller of Melissa’s, joins us with an update. Robert is also on stage at the Culinary Arts Pavilion in the OC Promenade Building Opening Day at the OC Fair on Friday, July 13th.

One of our favorite OC-based food, libation and travel writers is Anne Marie Panoringan. She recently spent 48 intense hours in the Santa Ynez Valley researching a few of the best picks in food, beverages, attractions and accommodations for a travel piece in the special Summer Travel issue of OC Weekly. Anne Marie graciously shares some of her exclusive finds with us.

Viceland’s “Beerland” just concluded it’s third season of 6 new episodes. This Season Megan Gill, Golden Road Brewing’s Co-Founder, traveled to New Orleans, Canada, San Diego, Pittsburgh and West Texas to find the best-of-the-best home brewers in each area. Then, in the Finale at Golden Road’s production brewery in Anaheim, a team of distinguished judges and Meg tasted the five styles and then decided the winner from among the five geographic finalists. We’re chatting with the winning home brewer. 100 barrels of the winning style were brewed for distribution by Golden Road festively packaged in a special and colorful 19.2 ounce can.

Chef Adam Levoe started with Golden Road cooking at their original Pub in the flagship Los Angeles (Atwater Village) Brewery in 2011. He’s also notably a serious home brewer. Adam’s domain has grown right along with Golden Road Brewing and he now serves as the Director of Restaurant Operations. We’re breaking bread with Chef Adam.

The Meatheads (Terry and Jay) are our resident, well-informed protein experts from West Coast Prime Meats. Jay Henderson joins us to talk about all the hoopla concerning grass-finished and grass-fed beef. How does this differ from grain-fed beef? What’s the flavor profile?

We’re initiating a new monthly segment on the “SoCal Restaurant Show” called “Ask the Brewer.” To embark on this we’re delighted to have Golden Road’s highly accomplished Brewmaster, Victor Novak, and Anaheim Head Brewer Steven Torres with us. Beer pairs really well with food. Victor and Steven will provide us with a tall stein of refreshing “Beer Pairing 101.”

All of this and heaping helpings of extra deliciousness on this week’s not-to-miss show!

Robert Schueller of Melissa's World Variety Produce in the AM830 KLAA StudioIt’s now officially Summer and the best of the Summer crop of fresh fruits is now readily available. It’s everything from juicy grapes to ripe figs. Our resident produce authority, Robert Schueller of Melissa’s, joins us with a bumper crop of an update.

Robert is also on stage at the Culinary Arts Pavilion in the OC Promenade Building Opening Day at the OC Fair on Friday, July 13th at 1:00 p.m. with the “Exciting Peppers” presentation and again at 3:00 p.m. with his “Produce Trends and New Products” presentation.

The Best in Season right now with fruit is Figs, Lychees, Organic Plum Bites, Organic Drinking Coconuts, Cherimoyas and Variety Grapes.

New from Melissa’s is their Drinking Coconut. Why bother with a bottle or a can when Mother Nature herself has already created the perfect beverage—coconut water—and the perfect vessel—the coconut itself! Grown on an organic farm in Thailand, these coconuts have everything you could want and more.

First, there’s the water. It’s sweet, refreshing and totally thirst-quenching, with a freshness you just can’t find in packaged products. It’s also an excellent source of electrolytes, including potassium. In addition to the great flavor, it couldn’t be any easier to enjoy. The coconut comes with its own straw (just look under the coconut!), has an easy-open pop-top (no more machetes!), and sits on a recyclable cardboard band, so you can set it down on a table (no rolling around!). This absolutely delicious coconut really has it all.

Anne Marie PanoringanOne of our favorite OC-based food, libation and travel writers is the always on-the-move Anne Marie Panoringan. (Just ask her about Breakfast or Cocktails…)

She recently spent 48 intense hours in the Santa Ynez Valley researching a few of the best picks in food, beverages, attractions and accommodations for a travel piece in the special Summer Travel issue of OC Weekly. Anne Marie graciously shares some of her finds with us along with a few (Off-the-Menu) suggestions that didn’t find their way into print.

We’re highlighting everything from the newly expanded Chumash Casino Resort, to the 7-days a week Happy Hour at The Landsby’s Mad & Vin and then on to breakfast at Los Olivos’ The Bear and Star.

Mark OberleViceland’s “Beerland” just concluded its third season of 6 new episodes.

Then, in the Finale at Golden Road’s production brewery in Anaheim, a team of distinguished judges and Meg tasted the five styles and then decided the winner from among the five geographic finalists.

We’re chatting with a member of winning home brewers’ team, Mark Oberle. 100 barrels of their winning style, Brother’s Brood Milk Porter Braggot, were brewed for distribution by Golden Road festively packaged in a special and colorful 19.2 ounce can. Braggot is made with 50% honey and 50 % malt. The winning recipe is by Mark Oberle and John Botica.

Mark’s unusual day job is as Owner & Meadmaker at San Diego’s Meadiocrity, one of San Diego’s first meaderies.

Adam LevoeChef Adam Levoe started with Golden Road cooking at their original Pub in the flagship Los Angeles (Atwater Village) Brewery in 2011. He’s also notably a serious home brewer.

Adam’s domain has grown right along with Golden Road Brewing and he now serves as the Director of Restaurant Operations. Golden Road Pubs exist at Atwater Village, Grand Central Market in DTLA, Anaheim, LAX and, now, Sacramento.

The appealing Pub menus also offer Vegan options.

We’re breaking bread with Chef Adam.
