Daddy’s Chicken Shack

January 15, 2019 Our Man On The Ground 28

It’s hard to know where to file Daddy’s Chicken Shack.  Quick bite?  Yep.  Frontrunner in the fast-casual movement?  Check.  Immediately addictive with a sensational vegan option for those loveable but holy high maintenance vegan friends […]

Escape LA For Santa Barbara

December 30, 2018 Our Man On The Ground 0

Just about 90 minutes north of Los Angeles, along Highway 101, the eclectic city of Santa Barbara stretches between the hills and the coast. Eclectic seems an apt description since the location has historically attracted […]

Belmond El Encanto, Santa Barbara

December 29, 2018 Our Man On The Ground 1

The list of loyal clientele at the Belmond El Encanto reads more like Hollywood royalty, than nouveau riche…Streisand and Gable, rather than Kardashian. The seven-acre property possesses a sense of grandeur dating back the golden […]

Maple at Descanso Gardens

December 17, 2018 Our Man On The Ground 23

Something about dining beneath those towering timbers, that foliage that won’t quit, that soaring A-frame ceiling, it’s the makings of a meal within a meadow laden fantasy.  The newly refreshed Maple at Descanso Gardens in […]

The Getaway, Carmel

November 21, 2018 Our Man On The Ground 30

There are no billboards in Carmel.  There are no streetlights.  And if you pay close attention, you’ll notice there are only odd numbered addresses.  If you really want to define what makes a destination so […]

Le Petit Marché

November 15, 2018 Our Man On The Ground 20

My favorite restaurants are the ones that make my senses compete.  Will the waft of French baguettes win over my want for that candle?  Will I stock up on Italian cheese and Beaujolais, or take […]

Palm Springs – A Californian Oasis

October 25, 2018 Our Man On The Ground 0

For travellers in search of a bit of adventure combined with staying in a cool urban chic city, Palm Springs may be just the ticket. This desert oasis in California is becoming more popular with […]

A Little Sip Of Ojai

July 2, 2018 Our Man On The Ground 1

With its Mediterranean climate, indie-anchored charm, and mountains that epically turn pink at sunset, few places are less polarizing than the idyllic nest of restoration known as Ojai.  Apt for a city named after the […]

The NIXON Chops & Whiskey

June 11, 2018 Our Man On The Ground 0

It was a dark day in Beverlywood, CA when Mexikosher closed its doors.  The epitome of Katsuji Tanabe unexpectedness – a Kosher Mexican hole in the wall turned neighbourhood gem – suddenly left us, and […]
