As chefs became our new rock stars, “I want my food TV” turned out to be a truer slogan than “I want my MTV” ever was. Michelin stars, it seemed, were less the goal than TV appearances and way sexier than the craft, no doubt. How, then, does a chef like Jean-Michel Diot and his … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Think outside the ‘berto’s at Corazon de Torta

July 5, 2017 mgardiner

It’s a running joke told when someone suggests going out for take-out tacos: “Roberto’s, Rigoberto’s, Adalbertos? Which ‘bertos?” And it’s not all in the name: they all seem to have the same menu. Corazon de Torta (2490 Commercial Street, Sherman Heights), on the other hand, does … [Read more...]
