Last Nights Dinner - The Hat - Rancho Cucamonga, CA
The
Hat, has been serving up some of the best Pastrami sandwiches since 1951, bar
none. Don't let the humble décor fool you, their food is the business and a must have,
especially when the temperature begins to drop. I mean after all isn’t 60° technically
freezing for Southern California?
Knife Wielding Chef Chases Dine & Dasher at Chiba Sushi in Canada
Chiba
Sushi, Victoria BC.
A
sushi chef from Victoria, Canada's Chiba Sushi was not about to let a
dine-and-dasher get away with his crime: according to
the Vancouver Sun, Ivan Eng chased a man down the road who
skipped out on his $64 check "for several minutes" before the police
intervened. Oh, and he was carrying his sushi knife the whole time.
Eng
chased the man, who turned out to be a serial offender, for a few blocks,
telling passing cars to call 911. Police apparently told Eng that next time he should
not bring the knife with him when pursuing a criminal, which is probably a good
idea. Eng told the Sun he "trusts [the thief] won't come in for
dinner again."

The Culinary World Has Lost A Pioneering Legend. Charlie Trotter Found Dead In His Chicago Home

Charlie
Trotter, whose eponymous Chicago restaurant was considered one of the finest in
the world, has died.
The 54-year-old chef was found unconscious and not breathing in his Lincoln Park home this morning and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Trotter was found by his son Dylan at the home in the 1800 block of North Dayton Street and an ambulance was called at 10:45 a.m., according to a family friend and fire officials.
"My baby's gone," Trotter's wife Rochelle told the friend, Carrie Nahabedian.
The 54-year-old chef was found unconscious and not breathing in his Lincoln Park home this morning and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Trotter was found by his son Dylan at the home in the 1800 block of North Dayton Street and an ambulance was called at 10:45 a.m., according to a family friend and fire officials.
"My baby's gone," Trotter's wife Rochelle told the friend, Carrie Nahabedian.
In
a statement released Tuesday night, Rochelle Trotter said: “We are incredibly
shocked and deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of Charlie at our home in
Lincoln Park. He was much loved, and words can not describe how much he
will be missed.
"Charlie
was a trailblazer and introduced people to a new way of dining when he opened
Charlie Trotter’s. His impact upon American cuisine and the culinary
world at large will always be remembered."
"We
thank you so much for your kind words, love and support," she added.
"We appreciate the respect for our privacy as we work through this
difficult time. Details for the memorial service will be forthcoming.”
Steve
Kolinski, a neighbor who lives several houses down, said he came outside late
this morning and saw six police cars and an ambulance pulled up at Trotter’s
home. Kolinski then saw Trotter’s wife, who ran outside and was “yelling
hysterically.’’
Trotter
was wheeled out on a stretcher and taken away, he said. Trotter’s wife and son
then left.
Trotter
was pronounced dead at 11:48 a.m. at Northwestern. An autopsy is scheduled for
Wednesday, but a source said there was no preliminary indications of foul play.
Trotter
burst on the scene in 1987, when the self-taught chef opened Charlie Trotter’s
restaurant on Armitage Avenue. In short order, the chef’s intense creativity
and never-repeat-a-dish dictum made Trotter’s the most talked-about restaurant
in Chicago, and his fame quickly spread throughout the country and beyond.
He was named the country’s Outstanding Chef by James Beard Foundation in 1999; in 2000, Wine Spectator magazine called Trotter’s the best restaurant in the nation. More awards and accolades followed, including a 2002 Beard Award for Outstanding Service; at the time, Trotter called it the award he was most proud to receive, as it represented “a team award.”
The mercurial chef was a stern taskmaster who demanded the absolute best from everyone who worked for him. He was also a man of uncommon generosity, creating the Charlie Trotter Education Foundation to provide scholarships for culinary students. He received the James Beard Foundation’s Humanitarian of the Year award in 2012.

Master
Sommelier Larry Stone who served as Trotter's Sommelier in the late 80s and
early 90s returned to work with him last year to close up his restaurant.
"He was a great inspiration in my life and a fantastic partner," said Stone.
Stone, who is now with the Quintessa Winery in Napa Valley, said Trotter and his family were aware that Trotter had a brain aneurysm and Trotter told Stone that he was resigned to it.
"It was a time bomb and he felt that he didn't have a lot of time left. It was inoperable and it was not something that could be repaired, it was deep inside the brain," Stone said.
As a result of his medical condition he was told by doctors that he should not be flying, should not be in high altitudes and should not exert himself because of the pressure on his brain. A friend of the family said he spoke at the Jackson Hole Culinary Conference Sunday night.
"I think that's why he had to give up the restaurant ultimately, he realized he had to change a few things in his life," said Stone. "He loved the craft so much he didn't want to give it up, it was so very hard for him to give up."
Stone believes that he may have been misunderstood because Trotter was not the type of person to ask for sympathy. He said a number of years ago he went to the Mayo Clinic after he was first having dizzy spells and had collapsed.
"It was obvious he had problems and he had some seizures," Stone said. "It's a condition that had worsened in the last few years but it was something he had for quite a while."
Stone said Trotter didn't let his health get into his way.
"He said, 'When your time comes, it comes.' He didn't dwell on it. I don't think it made him very happy to know that he had a condition that would incapacitate him in some way," said Stone. "He realized there was not much you could do...He never wanted anything to interfere with his craft. He was driven by his love of what he did and a desire to be better and better at it. That's what drove him from the very beginning."

“Charlie
was an extreme father figure to me when it came to not just cooking, but life,
and seeing things in a different way,” said chef Graham Elliot Bowles, one of
many famous chefs who worked for Trotter. “I just can’t put into words how
saddened I am by all of this. It’s a huge loss, not just personally, but for
the culinary world.”
The
news shocked many in the restaurant world, including L.A. chef David LeFevre,
owner at MB Post and Fishing With Dynamite in Manhattan Beach, who worked for
Trotter for 10 years, dating back to his externship from the Culinary Institute
of America.
"He’s probably the most important guy in my career," LeFevre told the Los Angeles Times while waiting to board a flight from Chicago to Los Angeles after a brief vacation. “It’s funny because I’ve been talking a lot about Charlie this weekend because I was back in Chicago and seeing friends from that period.
"I think I can attribute the majority of my attention to detail and the majority of my awareness of what it takes to run a fine dining restaurant to him. He had a very acute sense of attention to detail and he saw things that most people didn’t see. All of us who worked for him are better chefs because we came out of that kitchen.
"He may not have been the best people person sometimes when he was trying to achieve a very difficult goal, but there’s no arguing that he made us all better chefs.
"I’ve spoken with 10 or 12 people this morning who worked with him and every one is very sad about this. Those of us who got to spend a lot of time with him knew a very caring side of him that not everyone could see."

Sari
Zernich Worsham, who worked closely with Trotter for 13 years in his kitchen
and on his books and PBS series, said she and other Trotter alumni are
organizing a candlelight vigil in front of the restaurant buildings at 4:30
p.m. for anyone who would like to come.
“I just feel like we should do something immediately,” said Worsham, now executive director of chef Art Smith's company.
"Charlie always called me his little sister, and I feel like I just lost my big brother," she said. "I’m just speechless. He’s welded and sculpted so many people’s lives and sent them on the path to success. I can’t thank him enough."
“I don’t think you can write a sadder story," said Yusho chef Matthias Merges, a 14-year veteran of Trotter's kitchen as chef de cuisine, executive chef and director of operations. "I don’t think it’s even possible."
Merges emphasized that Trotter should be remembered for his incredible influence and success. "What he’s accomplished has been the game changer for the landscape of American cuisine, and we can never discount that no matter what happens,” Merges said.

Mayor
Rahm Emanuel released a statement saying Trotter "changed Chicago’s
restaurant scene forever and played a leading role in elevating the city to the
culinary capital it is today. . . He will always have a seat at the table among
Chicago’s legendary figures.”
A
neighbor, Bunny Snyder, who lives across the street, remembered Trotter fondly,
saying he was known as “Chef’’ to those in the close-knit neighborhood.
“He was terrific on the street,’’ Snyder said, adding that he would usually attend their summer block party and she would often see him walking a dog.
“He used to partake in our street fair every year and put out a table,’’ Snyder said. “He was a good neighbor."

Lauren
Marks, who has lived on the street for some 30 years, said that she used to see
Trotter fairly regularly when he would walk his dogs, but said he had been
"rather reclusive lately."
"It's a sad thing, it's shocking," said Marks, who said she saw the emergency vehicles gathered outside this morning and knew something was wrong. "With Charlie you never knew what was going to happen on any given day... He was an interesting man."
Tom Aries, another neighbor whose child went to school with Trotter's son, called the news "astonishing."
"He was a phenomenal chef," said Aries, who said that he got to be chef for a day in Trotter's restaurant, and that he ran a very efficient operation.
Another woman who walked by Trotter's home said that she used to work for Trotter at his restaurant — where she had also met her husband.
"Charlie was a very sweet man to me all my years working there and treated me like a daughter," said the woman, wiping tears from her eyes. She declined to give her name because of the controversy that has surrounded Trotter's interactions with previous employees.

Trotter,
who grew up in Chicago’s north suburbs, was a political science major at the
University of Wisconsin at Madison before switching tracks and beginning his
culinary training at Sinclair’s in Lake Forest.
Days before he turned 28, Trotter opened his own restaurant in a two-story North Side townhouse he spent about a year restoring.
"I worked in various kitchens from two days to five months," Trotter told the Tribune in 1987, just after the restaurant opened. "I would leave when I wasn't learning anything. I gradually began to conceive of the sort of place I would like to have and the style of cooking I felt comfortable with."
As a young chef learning his trade and bouncing from kitchen to kitchen, he earned the respect of his mentors.
"He's a marathon man," said Norman Van Aken, who in 1987 was a chef on Key West. "He's been with me in three different restaurants and in every one his spirit and persistence has lifted morale. I've never seen such drive, single-minded vision and generosity."
Trotter’s restaurant, greeted by positive reviews, continued growing in stature. In 1997, just a decade after opening, a Tribune critic called the restaurant “one of the city’s treasures” and said Trotter was “as experimental as they come” in the kitchen.
As his eatery flourished, Trotter became a regular at civic functions and charity dinners. At one point, his restaurant was purchasing produce from a garden tended by youth in the troubled Cabrini-Green housing projects.
But as diners rung in the New Year in 2012, Trotter announced that he’d be shuttering his restaurant months later. The restaurant closed late that summer, just after its 25th anniversary.
Trotter remained in the news after that final meal, but often not for the best reasons. The chef abruptly ended an auction of his restaurant’s wares when only about a third of the items had been sold.
Then this summer, he was sued for allegedly selling two wine collectors a bogus bottle for thousands of dollars, which he denied.
In August, almost a year to the day after the restaurant closed, Trotter kicked out high school students who had been invited to showcase their artwork from an after-school program in the former restaurant. One student said Trotter "went ballistic" when their instructor declined the chef’s request that they sweep floors and clean toilets.

Trotter
was the keynote speaker Sunday at the Jackson Hole Culinary Conference, which
was hosted by Central Wyoming College at Jackson.
Susan Thulin, the director of the college, said Trotter arrived Sunday and left early Monday morning. The subject of his speech was excellence, and he spoke about “empowering your employees, being passionate about what you’re doing … and working so hard they have to hire two people to replace you,” she said.
While this was the first Jackson Hole Culinary Conference, Thulin said Trotter had been to the area several times before to ski with his son and hoped to return this winter with him. “We’re so sad to hear of his passing away,” Thulin said. “He really touched those that were there” to hear his speech.
Thulin also said that Trotter talked about how proud he was of his wife, who was running in the New York City marathon the same day.

Richard
Ofstein, a former chicagoan, who attended the Jackson Hole conference where Trotter
was the key note speaker on Sunday said that after Trotter dodged a previous
question about what his favorite recipe was, he asked him what his last meal
would be.
Ofstein,
a radiologist, noticed that his left hand was shaking as he held the microphone
but didn't think more about it.
"I
said from one Chicagoan to another what would be your last meal and he
answered, 'A 1900 Chateau Margaux' a vintage bottle of wine worth between
$9,000 and $16,000.

Last Nights Dinner, Done In A Supreme Fashion.
Always ones to love flossing what we ate for
dinner, last night was nothing less than stellar as I did the damn thing with a
quick Seafood Boil that brought a few old friends & family members
together. If you missed it, get ready for things like this to be an everyday
option at our restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga, "The Supreme Plate, Gourmet
Seafood, Sausages & Sandwiches… Coming Soon!"
Art In The Yard - Melrose, CA Nov.9th, 2013
Nothing beats living in California. Well that is
unless you live somewhere better like Turks & Caicos or have a never-ending
supply of wealth that allows for you to travel the world whenever the mood
calls for it. But back to beautiful always sunny Southern CA where the food is
incredible, the artwork that adorns the walls in the streets is astoundingly
beautiful and the people are as eclectic as you ca get.
This weekend in Los
Angeles at The Fame Yard on Melrose (two doors down from Sportie LA & Space
23 (one of the flyest art galleries in town that supports more than just
traditional Graffiti artists) will be hosting “Art In The Yard” which will
showcase the skills and talents of artists such as Hex TGO who will be doing a
huge memorial wall to Sk8 One. Other notables on the scene doing their thing
live for the people will be: Gregory Siff, Andrea Lahue, Proto1 and many more
as some of Los Angeles’ dopest DJ’s select only the freshest cuts to liven up
the evening.
Check this event and
get familiar with its curators Eddie Donaldson & Adrianna Schutz as they
will be hosting some of the flyest events in the near future that are always
for a good cause and more importantly keep graffiti alive and moving forward.
Much Love & hope to see you all out there.

Introducing the Kuro Ninja Burger from BK Japan
Burger King Japan will be releasing the “Kuro Ninja Burger” or Black Ninja Burger on October 25, much to the bacon lovers of the
worlds delight. In 2012 BK Japan introduced the Premium Kuro Burger, which
featured a charcoal and tea smoked bun & squid ink flavored black ketchup
which sold like crazy and made for some pretty interesting hash tags and
headlines in the foodie world. This time around BK Japan has added a colossal sized
slab of bacon and a hash brown patty to the mix and will be selling it for
roughly $7 or $8 bucks.
Ile de Re - Fine Island Cognac from Camus
Please believe
that we will be telling you a whole lot more about this amazing brand in the
next few days, until then stop by your local libation purveyor and ask if they
are in supply of any of Camus’ amazing line of perfectly blended Cognacs, they
are truly smoother than a glass of silk.
For more info on this and all of their other wonderful releases, check out: www.camus.fr/fr
The Set Up
As we all grow
older, refining ourselves should be of the utmost importance. Having the
ability to properly set a table displays a bit of class, a bit of home-training
and finally shows that you actually care about how things visually stimulate
your guests.
Ok so maybe we are reaching on that last one, but for anyone who
has ever wondered, just where does the fork go (and with some major holidays
sitting right around the corner you may want to figure this out quick) this
list should easily help you get your table game up to par.
Happy Eating.
Blueberry Yum Yum
We can’t lie and
say we don't love playing with our food. These new edible spray paints are
incredibly dope and taste unlike anything you have ever eaten (in a good way.)
Wear A G On My Lac I Dont Need Dapper Dan
For those that don't know or weren’t even alive back in the
1980’s, if you weren’t draped in the latest fashion that was adorned with Louis
V or Gucci logos, you just weren’t poppin’. In the early 2000’s the craze
re-caught on and everyone was going overboard on everything from clothes to
cars once again.
But what we want to ask is, who actually remembers the Gucci
Edition Seville by Cadillac that also came with a set of luggage?

The Food Holidays of October 2013
In
the music industry every is worried about getting their release out in the
fourth quarter because that is when the heavyweights usually come out to play.
Christmas, Hanukkah and every other holiday that requires gift giving usually
takes place in the 4th quarter of the year and with that come a lot
of added sales. In the food industry things are no different. True everyone
wants to watch their weight so they can stay in shape for next years heat wave,
but in the end we almost all succumb to the greatest of sweets & treats
that can be found just around every corner this time of year. Last year around October brought about
some major changes in our business, all for the better and I wish to simply say
thank you to all of our supporters for coming out to our events, following the
site and letting us know how we can help make your live better and our site
even more influential towards eating right and living a more fulfilling life.
