Thrillist San Diego: Lady Chef Series
you love ladies and eating, but were concerned the two were mutually exclusive, you have issues, and should definitely not attend the Lady Chef Dinner Series, featuring SD's top female chefs guest-cooking at St. Germain's. The series kicks off with Isabel Cruz (Barrio Star, Coffee Cup, Isabel's Cantina) making up bold Latin eats like Tostones Con Carnitas with fried plantains, avo, chipotle cream, and cilantro-lime sauce; Lamb with Cumin & Cinnamon; and a coconut rice, black bean, mango salsa, and coconut chili oil Brazil Bowl, also the name of a popular bowling chain in which the extremely fit lane attendants wear thongs and actively discourage spare rolls.

What they are saying...
It's as if someone invaded the whole concept of fried rice and rendered it healthful, not to mention highly tasty.
- David Sarasohn, The Oregonian
We loved the simplicity of these vibrant recipes.
- Editors, Food & Wine Magazine
