Our own Chef Andrew Gruel, the menu-maker behind the full-service Calico Fish House (located in the Sunset Beach area of Huntington Beach) provides another timely and informative “Ask the Chef” segment where he responds to listeners’ thoughtful inquiries.

Our beloved In-N-Out Burger (still amazingly Family-owned) is highly secretive about their operations and rarely makes menu changes. Recently announced is their pending move to eliminate artificial colors / food dyes in their shakes, pink lemonade and pickles and replace them with natural colors. Also cottonseed oil is being removed from their burger buns. Highly unusual move for them but truly significant and, possibly, a trend-setter for all of fast-food. Chef Andrew explains the healthful implications.

Andrew Gruel’s Family Cookbook (newly published) is also available with signed copies at his Calico Fish House on Pacific Coast Highway in Sunset Beach.
