For one night only, local chefs Karlo Evaristo (6100 Bread) and Jared Ventura (Studio at the Montage) resurrected their pandemic-era dining concept, Adia, at Newport Beach's Viamara. According to " TimesOC " writer Sarah Mosqueda, Adia "blends Evaristo's Filipino heritage and cooking experience with Ventura's Italian background and cooking skills to create a multi-course, fine dining menu." For this brief revival, the duo was joined by chef Benjamin Martinek, culinary director of Pendry Newport Beach, making it a rare and wondrous event.

Run by two locals who come from 14 generations of Montauk pro-fishermen, this seafood shop knows its way around shellfish. The lobster roll is worth seeking out: plump with lobster salad that's flecked with celery for crunch. It comes on a soft potato bun, with kettle chips you can crumble on top for more texture. And the summer special of $38 for two lobster rolls plus chips is one of the best deals around. You can also get oysters and clams on the half shell

"Beginning on Wednesday, June 18, head to the counter's Charles Street and Lorimer Street locations to snag a Lobster Club made with fresh lobster meat, Nueske's bacon, sliced avocado, iceberg lettuce, chopped chives and preserved lemon aioli on challah bread."

I used to travel a lot for work. Like I spent 46 out of 52 weeks a year traveling for 3 years, a lot.
