Artfully Crafted @ 50 Forks
What a wonderful complimentary dinner with my Nikko and sisters at 50 Forks!!! We enjoyed an artfully crafted food prepared by AI (Art Institute) culinary students. The school restaurant is open Monday through Friday for lunch and dinner. Most of all, it's reasonably priced! First Course or Bites @ $5; Second Course or Nosh @ $10; Third Course or Sweets @ $5. Can't beat that!

Revisiting Chapter One, The Modern Locale
Spring Break gave me the opportunity to explore and discover new places as well as eat at places I have dined in before. Chapter One the Modern Locale, in Santa Ana is one of my favorites. This restaurant serves seasonal items that will satisfy your palate. Every visit is a different experience. I've always eaten dinner here. This time I was finally able to try their lunch menu. I came here with my son, Nikko, who aspires to become a chef...so we indulged ourselves in trying something new.
For starters, we ordered appetizers or "Preface" as it's called on their menu. To cleanse our palates, I ordered the specialty cocktail, Rosa Sinensis, and my son had a selection of brewed beer. Many of the dishes have an influence from other parts of the world. This is what makes this dining experience so amazing!
So, if you happen to be in the Santa Ana area and would like to try something new, this is the place. It is located in the Artist District on 4th and Broadway. Street parking is available.
