Roy Choi's rice bowl joint has moved from Palms to downtown's Chinatown and offers an almost user-friendly attitude in its new home, along with its usual elevated street food.

If you were obsessed with the Kimchi Spam Bowl, and dismayed when the original Chego, the one in Palms, closed a few months ago, then you were probably all over the news that the new Chego 2.0, Roy Choi's rice bowl joint, has been transplanted into a faded walking mall, behind Ocean Seafood in downtown's Chinatown. Chego is all blasting reggae, sticky picnic tables in the courtyard, and frothing seas of Sriracha sauce that leave few dishes, including desserts, unscathed. A Chego banner, big as any Communist-era wall banner, is draped down the side of the building.

These banana and cream cheese-filled treats are a sinfully good way to cap a meal. Enjoy in public or in the privacy of your own home.

Dear SOS: I went with my family to watch the whales at Newport Beach and had lunch at the Harborside Restaurant . Although we were stuffed, we decided to try the buñuelos , and, boy, were they delicious! We live an hour away from the restaurant but would take the trip just to eat them again. Is it possible for you to get this recipe?

From gazpacho to a tart dairy soup, few dishes are more satisfying on a hot summer's day. Serve as an appetizer or a light dinner.

Revenge, patient people tell us, is a dish best served cold. I feel the same way about soup, at least at this time of year. When it gets as hot as it's been this week, there are few things that will whet a flagging appetite like a sip of cold soup.

The number of acres of Valencia oranges has plummeted over the years due to competition and disease, but they can be found at local markets in abundance, and their quality is excellent.

PAUMA VALLEY, Calif. — The vista from the foothills of Mt. Palomar recalls classic citrus labels, a sea of green dotted with bright orange fruit. Frost-free, with south-facing slopes, pure water and good drainage, this is among the best land in Southern California for growing Valencia oranges and one of the last redoubts for an iconic but besieged crop.

Not everybody appreciates sea urchin, but Fishing With Dynamite, Providence and Il Grano come through for those who do. Prepare for some intense sea funk.

I remember someone three seats down from me at Ginza Sushi-ko (the predecessor of Urasawa), eating an entire box of the ochre uni that Masa Takayama had specially sourced. Sometimes, if you were lucky, he'd hand you a cone of exquisite black green toasted nori filled with four or five skeins of sea urchin roe. For me, that will always be the ultimate sea urchin experience. Not everybody appreciates its almost unbearably intense sea funk. As with bottarga , you generally either love it or hate it. I'm decidedly in the first camp, happy to eat it on top of a buttered crostini or toast, tossed raw with hot spaghetti as they eat it in Puglia, or eaten raw out of the shell.

With all the running around before the Fourth of July -- shopping, cleaning the grill, making sure the barbecue is working and laying in hardwood charcoal or mesquite, it’s easy to forget the wine.  Just grabbing the first three wines under $20 you see is not the best strategy. Stop by a wine shop knowing what kinds of wine can stand up and play well with grilled meats and maybe even the barbecue sauce.
