Change comes quickly to 1500 Ocean with the news that chef de cuisine Brian Sinnott will leave effective April 1, and as he assured me in an email, it’s no April Fool’s joke.  He wants to concentrate on his family.

Supper club dining comes to San Diego:  Whisknladle Monthly Supper Club does it on the last Tuesday of each month as they begin their third year.  Bringing strangers together in celebration of food, wine & great conversation, the three-course family-style fixed-price dinner for up to 12 to 14 guests  served in Whisknladle’s private dining room includes paired wines.  Limited to four per group to spur mingling in their private dining room, the next dinner is March 29 and the cost is $75 plus tax and tip.  For reservations: 858- 551-7575.

Grant Grill Saturday Night Supper Club creates a jazz evening, with specialty cocktails and dinner.  Drink and dine and then spend the night at the hotel with their Saturday night escape package which you can find on their website after scrolling down seven items in the list.  (Note to hotel, make it a bit easier to locate on the website.)

Bernard Guillas is quite the chef.  Known as one of San Diego’s top toques (executive chef at The Marine Room) he garners worldwide recognition that includes his recent induction into the very prestigious Maitres Cuisiniers de FranceIACP nominations in two categories for his Two Chefs One World cookbook, tireless teaching at Macy’s Home Store and lots more.  This week  he appears on the Today Show with a cooking segment that airs Wednesday, March 23 at 10:40am with Kathie Lee Gifford.
