Drew Davis Goes Whole Hog
While roast pig is the centerpiece at this chef’s alfresco feast, it’s friends and family who steal the spotlight.
FOOD Chef Drew Davis is the first to admit he has little time to throw dinner parties. “Honestly, I don’t really have time to do anything, owning my own restaurant,” the 39-year-old says, referring to Catalan Mediterranean Cuisine, the Spanish-influenced Mediterranean eatery he owns in Rancho Mirage with his wife, Cynthia, and parents, Mark and Lecie Davis. So when he
Holy Biotics
Take care of your microbes and they’ll take care of you.
Optimal health begins with optimal nutrition. But with so many fad diets populating the modern sustenance scene, the world of wellness can be rather tricky to navigate. One doctor set his sights on mapping the most alimentary plan. His research indicates foods we’re taught are healthful may be the real root of our problems. When he wasn’t shedding weight, despite
Palm Desert Food & Wine Rewind
Too bad we can’t experience every sip and bite all over again.
When I finally caught up to my cousin Chris midmorning Saturday, the first official day of the Palm Desert Food & Wine festival, he was hanging out near a small crowd that had gathered around Mike Grgich, the Croatian-born Napa Valley winemaker (world renowned for his 1973 Chateau Montelena chardonnay that bested all other whites at a competition in Paris)

Picnic
It's the ultimate alfresco.
FOOD With picnic season upon us, the idea of heading outside (before the temps shoot up, as they always do) for an afternoon of gourmet noshing sounds enticing, until we end up with soggy sandwiches, crushed cookies, and boring bottled water and wonder why we just didn’t go out to lunch instead. This year’s going to be different. We’ve enlisted
Top Chef, Literally
Chef Brooke Williamson walked away with the coveted title of Season 14 Top Chef winner after making a comeback through Last Chance Kitchen.
Trust Brooke Williamson with a secret. Anyone who can sit on the results of winning Top Chef for months is worth her weight in gold. Or maybe dough is a better word. Williamson, who is coming to Palm Desert Food & Wine starting March 24, was judged to be the best after a four-course cook-off with Shirley Chung. After being
Chef Engin Dreams of Day Off
What do our favorite chefs like to do when they get together? It involves sharp knives, fire, wine, beer, and moscow mules. What could possibly go wrong?
At a sleek house in the Historic Tennis Club neighborhood of Palm Springs, the chefs are introduced through other senses instead. It’s all about scent and sound. Walk up the driveway, and you already know who’s inside. There’s the discordant clang of pans pulled from shelves. The shimmy and whistle of a simmering pot. Knives making contact with cutting boards.
