Brook & Nick, of The Tripel
The chef/owner couple love going to either Sakura on centinella or Fresh in the Box for casual sushi. The main draw, other than sushi, is that their 4 year old kid can’t get enough teriyaki salmon and cucumber salad! Talk about a chefs’ kid.

Chef Kamil Majer
At Terroni in Los Angeles he gets the Spaghetti ea’ Muddica—homemade spaghetti with anchovies, black olives, cherry tomatoes, capers, bread crumbs and parsley. He loves the saltiness of the anchovies with the sweetness of the tomatoes, among perfectly cooked pasta and the crunch of the bread crumbs.

Chef Jason Rivas
Anthony’s Restaurant and Lounge, located in Old Town Murrieta. It is a little Italian eatery set within an office building that serves classic Italian, with a upscale presentation. A cozy, warm, inviting and with the back drop of live crooner music. I always have Calamari Fritti, Insalata di Caesar, followed by the Cannelloni (filled with beef, mushroom and spinach). Then you cannot forget the cannoli; it is nice, rich, with a crispy crust that just flakes apart.

Chef Scott Thomas Dolbee
Having grown up here in Encinitas…my favorite will always be Roberto’s, Alberto’s or Juanita’s. If I ever get on the show, the best thing I ever ate…it will be a carne asada burrito from there.
