Dinner at Home with Chef George Mavro
We were recently invited to join our dear friends Gloria and Steven Cohen for dinner, at their home on Kauai. It’s always a coveted invitation as they are lovely people, wonderful cooks, amazing hosts and fellow foodies. This particular evening as we entered their kitchen we were taken by the intoxicating, wonderful aromas and the unfamiliar face behind the stove.
R & G Lounge-San Francisco

Cloud 9 Alpine Bistro
Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro’s, Swiss-style cabin located at the top of the Cloud Nine Ski lift on Aspen Highlands, made me feel like I was back in Switzerland. C9 is a must experience in Aspen and a guaranteed, great time!

Acquolina-Aspen
If you’ve ever visited a true Italian trattoria, pizzeria and inhaled the smells coming from the kitchen and pizza oven, your mouth has no doubt watered with anticipation. Acquolina, Aspen’s newest restaurant, roughly translated as “mouthwatering” will deliver just that!
Coqueta-San Francisco
We first met Chef Michael Chiarello in Aspen, at a dinner he hosted at D19 restaurant with our friend and favorite Chef, Dena Marino, now at MC Kitchen in Miami. Michael’s new SF restaurant, Coqueta, meaning the flirt is located at the Embarcadero and has a really great, hip, European vibe. From the minute you walk in you know you are in for an experience.
Kokkari-San Francisco
Having grown up in a Lebanese kitchen that shares so many similar flavors to Greek cuisine, made my first trip to Kokkari not only memorable but addictive. Upon first entering the restaurant and getting a glimpse of the wood-burning rotisserie, framing a rustic table, decorated with pyramids of freshly baked crusty bread, made me feel as though I were entering a large Greek celebration, in old-world Europe.
La Mar-San Francisco
La Mar is one of our all time favorite restaurants in San Francisco, located waterside at Pier 1.5 on the Embarcadero it’s a great spot for lunch or dinner. The beautiful dining room, bar and views are the perfect venue to enjoy the authentic and beautifully executed Peruvian fare.
