SRC related news:
The LA Times food blog today announced that Jon & Vinny's has landed one of the 50 spots in Bon Appétit's newest list of top restaurants in the US. It's not surprising to find out that another of the four LA nominees is Petit Trois, which is another Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo restaurant along with Ludo Lefebvre. (While SRC didn't work on the Petit Trois project, we did however provide design and equipment services to its big sister, Trois Mec, just next door.)
Congratulations Jon and Vinny!
The Newport Beach Independent Online published a glowing review last week about the recently-opened Sushi Roku in Fashion Island. Along with other articles praising the sushi powerhouse, this one presents a nice little report of various dishes and menu items.
““This may be the best sushi I have ever had, and certainly the most creative,” gushed Christopher [Trela] during the meal. “I am blown away . . . .””

Our fantastic bookkeeper alerted us to this Huffington Post article posted yesterday. While we're known to spoil a friend's two pooches on occasional dog-sitting weekends, we're not quite up to actually tasting the dog's treats for them. Luckily, you don't have to either, as some (un-?) willing writer has done all the taste-testing for you. Whew.
