The first ever Golden Foodie Awards celebration took place Sept. 30 at the Fairmont Newport Beach. Orange County restaurants, chefs, bloggers and mixologists were honored in 30 categories. Hosted by comedian Frances Dilorinzo, the lively awards show featured many celebrity presenters, and several of the Real Housewives of Orange County were present, complete with film crew. The statuette presented to each winner is made of solid pewter, covered in 14-karat gold and created by the manufacturers of the Golden Globe awards. The winners, as chosen by patrons and local foodies, included Best Indian Food in Orange County: Tamarind of London; Best French Food in Orange County: French 75 (which also took home Best Mixologist); Best Tacos in Orange County: SOL Cocina; and Best Happy Hour in Orange County: Brasserie Pascal, among many others. K?ya Bistro, House of Big Fish and Ice Cold Beer, Stonehill Tavern, Cucina Alessa and Sundried Tomato Cafe were also finalists, though they didn?t bring home the win this year.

Olamendi?s Express offers salads with same-day produce from Alegr?a Farm.

Farm-to-table meals are a standard of freshness in the culinary world, and now Alegr?a Farm and Olamendi?s Express are taking it to the next level. Alegr?a Farm, a new commercial hydroponic vertical farm located in Laguna Beach, and Olamendi?s Express in Mission Viejo have teamed up to offer same-day harvested salad greens at Olamendi?s Express. The restaurant will be the first to feature the locally grown produce from Alegr?a Farm, which uses more than 170 hydroponic towers growing 10,000 plants in less than one-fourth of an acre without the use of pesticides. The farm utilizes the Verti-Gro system, which uses no soil and 90 percent less water, 70 percent less land and 50 percent less fertilizer than traditional organic farming.

?When we discovered Alegr?a Farm, we knew immediately this is a great opportunity to set a new standard in our traditional recipes by using these locally-grown, clean and natural ingredients,? says Carlos Olamendi, co-owner of Olamendi?s.
