Food & Drink

The photo is a Dover Sole from Old Brea Chop House. Welcome Fall! With the changing seasons comes a change in what we are craving, and with fall that often means comfort food. October is our most delectable issue of the year, filled with some of our favorite dishes and beverages around town. After all, food is not only nourishing and delicious, it also puts smiles on our faces.

The smells of fall bring memories to my mind of sitting in my mom’s kitchen, and the aroma of cinnamon, apple, pumpkin, chili, and soups of any kind brings me right back to her table.

There is an art to creating a flavorful dish that not only satisfies our taste buds but evokes memories. The aroma of certain spices and foods can take us right back to our childhood, which can be incredibly powerful and comforting. Food brings us all together, and whether we are sharing a meal with loved ones or enjoying a night out on the town, the time spent while enjoying food is invaluable.

We know food is often considered one of life’s great pleasures and we are excited to share several options to put on your local bucket list.

As always, thanks for reading Yorba Linda Lifestyle, and I hope to see you around town!

OLD BREA CHOP HOUSE DELIGHTS WITH AN ELEVATED STEAKHOUSE EXPERIENCE

Patrons feast on an exquisite array of prime steaks, craft cocktails, and fresh, fabulous seafood

ARTICLE BY HEATHER WHITSITT

For diners with discerning tastes, Old Brea Chop House delivers a classic steakhouse experience with a modern twist.

Located in downtown Brea, loyal patrons eagerly flock to OBCH to satisfy their cravings for an array of prime steaks, craft cocktails, and heavenly seafood.

When perfecting his vision, owner, and steakhouse savant Tony Fasulo knew exactly the kind of ambiance he wanted to create within the walls of Old Brea Chop House.

“Tony was adamant about having all of the steakhouse staples nailed in technique but elevated in quality. He then added dishes that are seasonal but with the best execution and true to what a steak lover wants.”

With over 40 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Tony was no stranger to the level of dedication required for creating, running, and driving the success of a thriving dining establishment.

His experience includes working for Morton’s Steakhouse (Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, DTLA, and Palm Desert), opening their first casino venture in Atlantic City, and their first Latin America partnership in Mexico City.

These experiences all guided him through successfully navigating any challenges at Old Brea Chop House since opening its doors in November 2019.

Most importantly, his approach to team service, as well as ensuring each and every guest knows they are truly appreciated and valued is a top priority.

Although he was initially trained in every station of the kitchen, Tony ultimately decided that bringing the menu to the guests and making that personal connection was his true passion.

The fine-tuned result was nothing short of spectacular, as evidenced by the meticulous attention to detail.

“Flawless execution is our goal. We are truly bar-centric, as the bar spans a good portion of the room, and our craft cocktails are just CONTINUED >

that—infused with house-curated ingredients and fresh juices. We have three types of Old Fashioneds to compliment every steak, for example.”

The fantastic fare at OBCH includes a top-tier assortment of prime steaks, unique cuts, quality chops, and fresh seafood.

Stop by for premier service during lunch (with a prix-fixe menu), brunch, and dinner hours.

The culinary journey begins with a freshly baked breadbasket and appetizer selections that include Grilled Oysters and Oysters on the Half Shell, Scallop Crudo, and Grilled Bacon Steak.

Star standouts of the brunch menu include Lemon Ricotta Fritters and the OCBH Breakfast Sandwich. For lunch, try the Skirt Steak Cobb Salad and Lobster Grilled Cheese.

Highlights of the dinner menu include a towering Seafood Platter, Caviar, an artisan Charcuterie Board, and a host of soups and salads.

Enticing entrée options also extend to Braised Short Ribs, Chilean Sea Bass, Chicken Schnitzel, and Swordfish.

Immerse yourself in culinary masterpieces like the Filet Mignon, New York Steak, 16. oz. New York Lamb Rack, or the 32 oz. Tomahawk Chop for a truly unforgettable meal.

Divine desserts like Carrot Cake, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Key Lime Pie, Warm Butter Cake, and a slice of Classic Cheesecake are sure to please every palate.

Patrons can unwind with a beverage menu teeming with luxurious craft cocktails and draft beers. Classic cocktails include Martinis, Manhattans, and Old Fashioneds for those with traditional tastes.

Adventurous imbibers can sample savory specialty cocktails like the Mood Enhancer, Super Bloom Spritz, Cosmonaut, Kiss with a Fist, or a Western Sour.

Tony and his team strive to make the most of each moment, a drive that didn’t stop when the pandemic wreaked havoc on the world.

Instead, they used the global shutdown as an opportunity to come back bigger and better than before.

“Under no circumstances has quality ever been compromised, even when reopening after Covid. From there, we created a lunch menu and used that time to elevate our existing menu.”

It’s not all work and no play for the OBCH crew, however.

“We strive to work in a way that’s fun-spirited and with passion, simply stated, and in the moment with the guest. Culinarily, we are forward-thinking.”

The close-knit camaraderie is essential to creating a customer-focused experience that runs like a welloiled machine.

“Most importantly, we are a ‘people first company,’ as is our mission.”

“Our standard of execution is high, and our staff delivers. Our clientele, whether they’re visiting for a special occasion or are regular guests—we want them to feel like they are a guest in our own home, and welcome always.” www.oldbreachophouse.com

“Flawless execution is our goal.

We are truly bar-centric, as the bar spans a good portion of the room, and our craft cocktails are just that—infused with house-curated ingredients and fresh juices.”

Fall’ing for Your Favorite Dessert

Autumn is in the air, and with the cooler temperatures and fun fall festivities, it can be tricky to keep your sugar intake in check.

From snacking on yummy Halloween candy and sipping hot chocolate by the fire to feasting on ooey-gooey pumpkin goodness and baked apple pies, the temptation is real—and it can have really detrimental effects on your health, too.

“Having all these delightful treats might not be so delightful to the health and well-being of you and your family,” says nutritionist Penny Foskaris of Foskaris Wellness.

“Sugar, sugar, and more sugar! The more processed sugar you eat, the harder your pancreas works to produce insulin to lower your blood sugar,” she explains.

“Over-consumption of processed sugar can lead to Alzheimer’s, increases your risk of heart disease, liver disease, and inflammation, and increases your risk of other chronic diseases.”

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t still treat yourself—moderation and making smarter nutritional choices are what it’s all about.

IS YOUR DESSERT CAUSING MEMORY LOSS?

Through her work at Foskaris Wellness, located in Anaheim Hills, Penny focuses on helping you modify or replace foods in your diet so you’re not missing any of your favorite foods.

For over three decades, she’s been helping her clients find balance and create healthier versions of their favorite recipes.

To date, she has helped more than 4000 clients better understand what their bodies need to feel their best.

To help curb your sugar cravings this fall, Penny has plenty of easy tips to share that can reduce sugar intake while still enjoying the foods and flavors you love.

1. Look at serving sizes. “We can help children eat less candy by buying mini-sized candies—or better yet, by passing out little toys or even quarters! What kid wouldn’t love a pumpkin full of quarters at the end of the night after going trick-or-treating?”

2. Create smaller portions. “When baking treats this holiday season, make them minisized. This is the time of year when everyone who loves to bake is sharing their home-baked goods with their friends and family.

By creating smaller portions, you are helping your loved ones stay healthier.”

3. Pack a punch with protein. “When looking at smaller portion sizes, you might feel deprived, but if you pair it with a protein (like a delicious protein hot chocolate) you’ll feel more satisfied and fuller.”

4. Opt for delectable substitutions. “When making hot chocolate, replace your regular mix with Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides in the chocolate flavor. By doing this, you’ll add 20 grams of protein and reduce the amount of sugar to zero. It tastes delicious!”

5. Do your research. “Go online and search for a reduced sugar version of your favorite recipe. With the

help of the internet, you can [easily] reduce the sugar content in your favorite desserts.”

Penny has worked diligently to improve her clients’ health through the creation of the Longevity RX System, which is available at Foskaris Wellness.

“The Longevity RX System can help clients live a longer, optimal life. This is done by combining data from Visceral Fat Scans, Memory Assessments, Lifestyle Assessments, Digestion Scans, Body Composition, and Food Sensitivity Scans. Pairing with Red Light Therapy Miracle Max Full-Body Bed, Infrared Saunas, PEMF therapy, and PSiO Light and Sound Therapy helps clients reach their goals faster and feel their best,” she says.

As if that weren’t enough, Penny has now created at-home use Red Light Therapy devices that are just as powerful as the ones that are available in clinics to help those who can’t come for treatment in person.

The Anaheim Hills location of Foskaris Wellness has served satisfied clients for nearly five years, and Penny has over 30 years of experience in the wellness and food industry.

Due to Penny’s vast experience, she believes in getting to the root cause of an ailment to resolve the issue, not just alleviating symptoms for a temporary fix.

Foskaris Wellness's other services also include RedLight Sculpting™, Amped Muscle Sculpting, Face Tightening, and Nutritional Genetic Testing.

Penny has welcomed patients from 14-92 years young at Foskaris Wellness, and she extends an invitation to anyone looking to transform their health and well-being to set up an innovative, life-changing assessment.

“We offer FREE visceral fat scans and memory assessments. Knowing if you already have some memory loss or if you have visceral fat (fat around the organs) can give you information on what you need to do to get healthy and stay healthy.”

Latte Da Ristorante

A CULINARY HAVEN OF AUTHENTIC ITALIAN FLAVORS ALL MADE FROM SCRATCH.

Established in 2004 as a modest breakfast spot, Latte Da Ristorante has blossomed, offering a genuine taste of Italy that has captivated the hearts of food aficionados. In response to the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, Latte Da Ristorante boldly reinvented itself, emerging not just as a survivor, but as a vibrant symbol of Italian gastronomy.

With a successful culinary venture, Delizie Restaurant & Bar in Mission Viejo, under his belt, Marty and his seasoned chefs bring a collective experience of over three decades in crafting authentic Italian fare.

The restaurant’s evolution from a breakfast nook to a full-fledged Italian dining destination is a tribute to Marty’s unwavering commitment. Every dish on the menu is crafted from scratch, paying homage to the art of traditional Italian cooking in an era dominated by shortcuts and convenience.

From luscious pasta creations to tantalizing seafood, from succulent chicken dishes to mouthwatering fileto, Latte Da Ristorante’s menu is a symphony of flavors that promises to satiate even the most discerning palate. With a daily chef’s special, patrons are treated to a diverse range of culinary marvels that keep them coming back for more.

Latte Da Ristorante offers an upscale dining experience paired with impeccable service, creating an ambiance that resonates with the spirit of Italy itself.

THE FLAVOR OF FALL

Apples are the trademark fruit of fall, and with the many varieties to choose from, there is an apple that is sure to please any palate. They can be included in both sweet and savory dishes and are delicious and incredibly healthful. We all have heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” While they aren’t a cure-all, apples are packed full of polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamin C, B vitamins and fiber. Make the most of autumn’s best produce and the flavors of fall with these simple recipes.

APPLE GALETTE WITH CARAMEL DRIZZLE

Easier than pie but with all the same textures, this gooey warm dessert is sure to please. For simplicity, this can be made with a premade crust.

INGREDIENTS:

Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups flour

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed

• 1/4 cup iced cold water

Filling:

• 2 apples, peeled and sliced into thin slices

• 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

• 1 1/2 tablespoons flour

• 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• Caramel sauce

• Optional: 1/4 chopped walnuts or pecans

INSTRUCTIONS:

Crust:

(Note: If running short on time, store bought crust works great, too.)

Mix flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Cut in the butter. Add water and mix until moistened. Lightly knead the dough and then form into a ball. Next, flatten dough into a thick circular form and refrigerate for one hour.

Filling: Mix the apples, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar together in a bowl.

Assemble and Bake:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into a circle and set on parchment paper. Arrange apples in center of dough, leaving about one inch of space for the edges. Fold crust over the apples and press to seal edges. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with pecans or walnuts. Bake for 35 minutes. Serve with caramel sauce and ice-cream.

ELEVATED GRILLED CHEESE

This take on the classic grilled cheese is sure to satisfy your fall cravings. With the combined flavors of savory and sweet, it packs a punch for your taste buds.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Sliced sourdough bread

• 1-2 tablespoons butter

• 4 ounces Brie, sliced

• Fig jam, or preferred choice of jam

• 1 Granny smith apple, sliced

• Arugula

• Thinly sliced ham, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

Next, spread jam on the inside of both slices. Add cheese, apples, onions and arugula. If using meat, add as well. Top with slice of bread and grill on skillet until both sides are toasted and cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy!

Spotlight on Southwood Pest Control

SOUTHWOOD PEST CONTROL IS A FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS SERVING COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

At the annual “A Taste of Yorba Linda” Yorba Linda  City Lifestyle held a drawing for one local business to win an editorial feature. Chad & Adrienne Seaman of Southwood Pest Control were the winners!

This family-owned and operated business was launched in 1974 by longtime Yorba Linda residents Donald and Marilyn Seaman.

Located in Anaheim Hills, the pest control company serves satisfied customers throughout all of Southern California.

Southwood Pest Control works with residential and commercial properties, offering services that include pest, mosquito, bee, gopher/squirrel, termite, and bird control.

Additionally, Southwood provides fungus/dry rot treatments and alternative solutions to fumigation, such as whole-structure foam treatments and local treatments. Their expertise also extends to all phases of wood repair and replacement.

When buying, selling, or refinancing a property, Southwood is a go-to for all of your escrow-related termite services.

“We offer reliable, timely, and escrow-specific termite inspection services to help you in selling your property or acquiring a new one. Within 24-48 hours, we will ensure the structure is fully inspected so you can close the deal.”

Donald and Marilyn’s children, Chad and Heidi, are an integral part of the Southwood team, and they plan to continue to strengthen their ties to the community on a personal and professional level—which starts by keeping customers happy.

“The central mission of Southwood Pest Control is to provide the highest quality pest control services to our clients.”

“The primary means by which our mission is accomplished is by placing customer service as our utmost priority. We offer knowledgeable and professional staff dedicated to serving our customers’ needs. Our goal is to have pleased clients, repeat and referral business.”

So just how does the close-knit, passionate Southwood Pest Control team go the extra mile for their extended family of clients?

According to Chad, it’s a matter of dedication and thorough communication.

“Customers are our #1 priority, beginning with the initial phone call to the finished job, as well as paying close attention to detail,” he says.

“We start each job with inspections, photos, and reports, and always check jobs upon completion to ensure customer satisfaction. We focus on speaking to our customers and never letting them feel like they are just a number.”

Southwood sweetens the deal with flexible scheduling, competitive bids, and environmentally responsible, same-day services.

“Southwood is a company with a reputation for having integrity and honesty. We’re often hired by other pest control companies because they trust us to get the job done right.”
