At Emerald Mallard, SC Bread Boy crafts French cuisine with maximalist attitude
“It’s simple,” chef Lance Ebert started, before describing a dish that no normal person would ever consider to be, in any way, simple. Like how to butterfly a whole rockfish and cook it over a yakitori grill, fanning it smoothly with Japanese oak to infuse the lean fish with flavorful smoke without overpowering it. Or the process of cutting nickel-sized coins of perfect summer cantaloupe, vacuum-sealing and freezing them with liquid nitrogen in order to break the fruit’s cellular walls and concentrate its flavor into tiny bites of the “best melon you’ve ever tasted.” You know, simple stuff.

Letter to the editor: Turn down the brewery music, please
Have something to say? Lookout welcomes letters to the editor, within our policies, from readers. Guidelines here. I’m a longtime resident of the Santa Cruz area and lover of good beer. I’m lucky enough to live on the Westside, where I can walk to several places that sell fine beer. However, I have reached the age where hearing in noisy environments is getting harder and harder, and so have a lot of my friends. Not only are our options being reduced because of the loud music in so many bars, and now breweries, too.

Live Oak Manor Park, a roughly 4.1-acre, narrow strip of land nestled between homes and utility poles, will be replanted with a centennial grove and a meandering path. The grove will replace the dead grass and include benches and a copse of trees surrounding a central tree. The majority of funding will come from the Rotary Club of Los Gatos as a celebration of its 100th anniversary.

This week, assistant lifestyle editor Karla Kane has a roundup of local policies surrounding outdoor dining and parklets.
