A second San Diego location of True Food Kitchen<\/strong> has opened in La Jolla\u2019s University Town Center<\/strong>, which recently underwent a major makeover to its gardens, plaza areas and retail spaces. The restaurant, which has an established location in centro comercial valle de la moda<\/strong>, took over 9,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor space for the new outlet. Eco-friendly design elements include herb-filled garden basins, hardwood floors and chairs made out of recycled soda bottles.<\/p>\n

Trish Watlington, defensora de la comida de la granja a la mesa, est\u00e1 vendiendo su restaurante establecido desde hace mucho tiempo, la puerta roja<\/strong>, along with her newer, adjoining venture, Bar by Red Door<\/strong>. Both are lauded for serving locally sourced produce (some from Watlington\u2019s Mt. Helix garden) and sustainable proteins.<\/p>\n

El pr\u00f3ximo propietario es Luciano Cibellia, nacido en Mil\u00e1n, Italia, y un chef consumado que ha cocinado en cocinas de toda Europa y en la ciudad de Nueva York. \u00c9l tambi\u00e9n evita a los grandes distribuidores y usa solo ingredientes que se pueden rastrear.<\/p>\n

The sale is expected to close in February and we\u2019re told that Cibellia will keep The Red Door name, at least until the community gets to know him. The businesses will stay open through the transition, after which Watlington plans on remaining active in the food community while continuing to support local growers through Farm-to-Fork Week, which is next scheduled for Jan. 14\u201321. 741 oeste de la calle Washington, 619-295-6000<\/em>, thereddoorsd.com<\/a><\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

This writer\u2019s spouse recently discovered (and purchased online) what Bon App\u00e8tit magazine rated as \u201cthe best panettone in existence.\u201d Coincidentally, so did local restaurateur Matteo Catteneo, who is carrying the tall-standing Italian sweet bread for the month of December at buona forchetta<\/strong> in South Park, as well as Officine Buona Forchetta<\/strong> en Estaci\u00f3n Libertad.<\/p>\n

Conocidos como "Panetton de Roy", los panes en forma de magdalenas son elaborados en el \u00c1rea de la Bah\u00eda por el famoso pastelero Roy Shvartzapel, quien ha revolucionado la omnipresente confecci\u00f3n festiva con levadura silvestre, pistachos y frutos secos de primera calidad, az\u00facar perla y masa que requiere 40 horas para curar y probar. El resultado es un panettone inusualmente aireado que se derrite en la boca y trasciende las marcas comerciales.<\/p>\n

Catteneo sells it at his restaurants for $15 a slice or $65 for a whole loaf, which weighs 2.2 lbs. Consumers can also purchase it online for $50 a loaf (plus delivery) at estoesderoy.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
