Now an enticing preview of this Saturday’s appetizing 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…

Food Finders, an established food recovery nonprofit, is hosting the 3rd annual “Chefs to the Rescue”, a fundraising event on Tuesday, October 9th from 6 – 9pm in Long Beach. For this unique event, Food Finders is challenging prominent local chefs to create “Edible Extras”; tasting samples and small plates made from perfectly tasty and safe rescued, recovered or repurposed food that otherwise would end up being tossed away. Participating Chef Philip Pretty of Long Beach’s Restauration and Food Finders’ Patti Larson (Executive Director) join us.

2018 marks a major milestone for both Philippe the Original in Downtown Los Angeles and its famous French Dip Sandwich.

The classic French Dip will celebrate its centennial and the restaurant will celebrate 110 years in business. There’s an epic Monday, October 1st celebration planned, including $1.10 French Dips, live entertainment, the USC Trojan Marching Band and a whole lot more.

General Manager and 3rd generation Family proprietor, Richard Binder is at our service with what’s on the celebration menu.

The Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP LA) is hosting their 4 Chefs 4 Kids Harvest Dinner Benefit at Jonathan Club on Thursday evening, October 18th. Jonathan Club’s Executive Chef Jason McClain is the Host Chef along with courses prepared by talented culinarians including Tony Esnault (Church & State,) Sally Camacho Mueller (Tesse,) and Suzanne Tracht (Jar.)

Reservations (due to limited class size) are a must. Chef Shachi steps away from the tandoor oven to join us.

Designer Nathan Turner’s style is synonymous with the easy glam of California living. His book, Nathan Turner’s I Love California : Live, Eat, And Entertain The West Coast Way (Abrams; 2018) is a journey up and down Highway 1 that takes readers from the redwoods of northern San Francisco to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada to the beaches of Southern California.   Simple recipes and tips for entertaining are featured alongside never-before-seen interiors. Lavish photographs capture the homes, people, and food of each unique location in glorious, sun-drenched detail. Nathan Turner is our stylish guest.

The inaugural Solvang Stomp, a “Footie” Wine Harvest Street Festival featuring the sensational chance to stomp grapes and taste vintages from 25 world-class wineries debuts Saturday, October 13, 2018, from 2:00-5:00 p.m. in downtown Solvang.

The classic French Dip will celebrate its centennial and the restaurant will celebrate 110 years in business. There’s an epic Monday, October 1st celebration planned, including $1.10 French Dips, live entertainment, the USC Trojan Marching Band and a whole lot more.

Today, Philippe’s boasts over 75 employees, serves about 20,000 sandwiches per week, more when the Dodgers are in town, and prepares about 100 gallons of its famous Hot Mustard every week.

The company has some employees who have been with the restaurant for over 30 years.

The Binder / Martin family has strived to keep the restaurant as original as possible throughout the years; sawdust floors, décor, payphone booths and some of the cheapest coffee in town at 45 cents a cup. It wasn’t until 2014 that the restaurant took down the cash only sign and began accepting credit cards.

General Manager and proud 3rd generation Family proprietor, Richard Binder is at our service with what’s on the menu.
