When it comes to lunch-time, there are a few key terms that come to mind. I want a lunch that is healthy, affordable, quick and, of course, tasty. Well, look no further than Luna Grill and the Better Beet Bowl! Luna Grill has locations throughout Southern California and Dallas, Texas. My friend and I made a stop at the location in Sherman Oaks before heading on the road to Santa Barbara. With a contemporary design, this fast casual chain featuring Mediterranean cuisine was a healthy, affordable, quick and tasty meal before hitting the road.

Grocery shopping can be a pain. At least, I find it to be. I prefer to get fruits and vegetables from one location and staples from another. And then there is finding time to go to the market. Every time I come home from traveling, I just wish I would have groceries waiting for me. Well, I have found just that with Milk & Eggs, the Please The Palate pick of the week. After a week of travel, I placed my order while I was still traveling. I then got home and my order arrived first thing the next morning just in time for me to make a morning cappuccino! Milk & Eggs is a website (and app) that connects us, the customer, to the best foods. They offer milk, eggs, dairy, meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, breads, pastas, beverages, spreads, dips, sauces, fresh herbs, chips, snacks and more....basically anything you might need. And they are all the freshest products possible, as well as locally acquired. There are also meal kits and recipes. And, if you are following a diet, such as Mediterranean, Atkins, Paleo, Vegan, Diabetic, Keto, South Beach or Whole 30, they each have a section with ingredients specific to each diet.

This story originally appeared in Wine Industry Network. Since purchasing his vineyard at the top of Spring Mountain in 1970 and founding Smith-Madrone in 1971, Stuart Smith has become the leading voice of the hillside grower. While Smith believed that the best grapes come from the mountains, a hypothesis had been written that vineyards on hillsides are detrimental to the land. In response, Smith began arguing in favor of hillside vineyards and land-use issues. Being the leading voice was “thrust upon me,” Smith shared. “It was not my intent. When I first got a permit to log the property from Department of Forestry, I was warned that there would be protesters once I brought out a chainsaw.” Stuart Smith was born and raised in Santa Monica, California and moved to Berkeley in the 1960s for his undergraduate studies. It was at Berkeley that he realized that he liked wine more than beer, atypical for a college student. He became friends with people from the Napa Valley and over several years became enamored with wine and the Napa area. The seeds of his passion had been planted.
