Living in Philly for over a decade, I used to consider myself a cheesesteak fundamentalist — one who only prefers the traditional version of the iconic dish (made with sliced rib-eye, provolone, and fried onions, on a long hoagie roll). I hated chicken cheesesteaks because they didn’t have beef....

Sura Korean BBQ opens this week in East Chula Vista where it will be one of just a few all-you-can-eat (AYCE) Korean barbecue options in the area.

Another partner, Andy Ahn, is also a collaborator in Lee and Liang’s Convoy seolleongtang spot, Woomiok.

Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

Cathy Chaplin is a senior editor at Eater LA, a James Beard Award–nominated journalist, and the author of Food Lovers’ Guide to Los Angeles. Los Angeles’s booming Italian restaurant scene is something of a chicken-and-egg situation. Whether it’s Angelenos’ tremendous appetite for pasta fueling the proliferation of Italian restaurants or an abundance of Italian restaurants that inspire the craving, there’s no denying that Italian food has flourished around town. The latest newcomer to join the fray is Civico 2064, which opens today, August 5, on Hillhurst Avenue in Los Feliz. The San Diego import aims to stand out with its blend of traditional Calabrian cooking and vegan-friendly fare.

Sam Lawrence, formerly the culinary director of Ignacio Mattos’ Estela, Altro Paradiso, Lodi, and the Nine Orchard projects, has broken off from the group to open a new restaurant. Bridges, opening this fall, is a collaboration with Josey Stuart, who worked in creative development for Mattos Hospitality, alongside Nicolas Mouchel, an alum of the Nomad, and a restaurant industry consultant. Bridges is located at 9-10 Chatham Square in Chinatown, the longtime home of Hop Shing, which closed during the pandemic, an address that raised some eyebrows with the community board. The restaurant points to Parisian bistros like Aux Deux Amis as a reference point, mixed with Basque country flourishes. Dishes include an uni custard, scallop with bone marrow and chile, and duck with persimmon. The dining room seats 50, with 12 bar seats. There’s also an attached private dining room.

Dianne de Guzman is a deputy editor at Eater SF writing about Bay Area restaurant and bar trends, upcoming openings, and pop-ups. Yes, the main draw of Outside Lands is always the music, but, respectfully, the food is a powerhouse in its own right. The event never fails to attract big-name chefs and locally beloved restaurants in a three-day collision of music, food, and drink at Golden Gate Park. While that’s not news to previous attendees of Outside Lands, the festival continues to level up its food and drink game each year with tempting new food and drink vendors, plus some new initiatives to keep things exciting.

McDonald's Is Sharing New Details About One of Its Biggest Burgers Ever

Las Vegas, NV

Straddling the line between spectacle and restaurant, the Las Vegas buffet is an entity unto its own. It’s a place where rules are meant to be broken; where diners can wander with towering plates of food in hand, pile in seven different desserts, and say things like, “I think I’ll try both flavors of melted butter.” But in order to have the best time — or at least the most cost-effective experience — there are guidelines to follow, ones that may spare you from long lines, overspending, or going in without a holistic game plan. Below, experts weigh in on the dos and don’ts of dining in a Las Vegas buffet.

Buffet 101: How to Win at the Las Vegas Buffet

WarnerMedia botched it big time when its myopic executives canceled South Side, a thoughtful comedy that unapologetically represented locals who lived way past Madison, way past Roosevelt, and — yes — even past Hyde Park. Chicago writer Studs Terkel was famous for pointing out that Division Street is the longest street in America, and the South and North side divide is seen in many ways. But one of the only things the city can agree on?

It was while sitting at the Tavern inside the Fontainebleau, sharing a plate of those nachos, when I admitted to a colleague that I had not dined in any of the Las Vegas Strip’s buffets since the Aladdin closed in 1997. As a food writer in and longtime resident of Las Vegas, it’s a glaring omission. My defense, if one is needed, is simple: Vegas’s consummate maximalism, along with its constantly growing food scene, make it nearly impossible to try everything once. The city teems with spectacle — restaurants that dutifully light steaks on fire or ferry them to tables in a Pulp Fiction-style briefcase. Award-winning chefs distill decades of hard-won technique into plates designed to mesmerize: sweet potato medallions laden with creme fraiche and caviar, homemade babka swirled with jammy ube halaya.

Fans of omakase, the sushi dining experience where diners let the chef choose, have some exciting news to savor. Omakai (stylized OMAKAI), a popular local sushi restaurant, has debuted a new omakase spot focusing solely on hand rolls, appropriately named Omakai Hand Roll Bar. Sushi hand rolls, or temaki, are cone-shaped rolls designed to be eaten with the hands. Unlike traditional sushi rolls, which are cut into pieces, hand rolls are made by wrapping rice, sashimi, and vegetables in a sheet of nori seaweed.
