OC Weekly: OC Movers and Shakers: Eggslice Pop Up Coming To OC Mix!

Posted on by Kirby

A brekkie-only concept, Eggslice found a temporary home weekends inside PIE-NOT. With handheld delights of sausage, bacon and even chicken schnitzel, it was hard to resist this ideal morning. We were sad to see them end their run last month, and begged founder Bill McMullan to keep us in the loop for future hunger pangs.

Bennett: Think you know Mexican food? Think again

Posted on by Kirby

Carlos Salgado doesn’t see borders. Or, rather, 2016 is the year he feels more comfortable crossing them.

It’s something he does both literally and figuratively as one of the main flag-bearers of Alta California cuisine, a creation of Mexican American chefs in Southern California who, in the last few years, have been fusing the skills and techniques honed in California’s fine-dining kitchens with the flavors and pride of their Mexican roots.
