Kat Humphus

On an unseasonably cloudy, post Labor Day evening in San Diego’s North County, the latest in the series of Waterbill dinners was an all-star chef studded event attended by about 30 more guests than were actually on “the list.”  Chef Kat Humphus, beloved by any who’ve ever received one of her warm embraces or a…

Walking up to beautifully lighted Crudo by Pascal Lorange in the early evening and looking in the front door is almost awe-inspiring.  You’re enthralled by the light, white, airy, grand space with 18′ ceilings and the simple, tasteful, modern decor.  A touch of flowy classicism causes you to scan longingly around the dining room, nurturing the not unrealistic expectation that…

New York City Brooklyn Bridge

I thought I was ready.  I had picked the brains of good friends and clients that had lived extended periods in NYC or were born and bred New Yorkers.  I researched the history, studied the maps, prepared my lists, made my reservations and, most importantly, conserved my energy and laid low for weeks before heading out to…
