Fri – Sat: 11:00 am – 1:00 am
Sun: 11:00 am – 12:00 am

Recently honored with a nomination by the James Beard Foundation for “Rising Star Chef,” Corazon y Miel Chef Eduardo Ruiz announces an exciting new adventure in casual dining, PICNIK. Opening to the public on Saturday, March 15, 2014, PICNIK is set to debut within the outdoor courtyard and adjacent indoor bar space at 168 W. Colorado Boulevard, just at the western entrance to Old Pasadena. Ruiz has teamed with Chef Michael Puglisi, formerly of Bouchon Beverly Hills and the soon to open Electric City Butcher Shop in the Santa Ana 4th Street Market artisanal food complex, to offer a selection of customized, hand crafted sausages, impeccably sourced from compassionate, family owned and operated farms, and prepared fresh daily, on premises. As Executive Chef/ Partner of the project, Ruiz will oversee all food and menu creations, including the customization of sausages, side dishes, and salads. Although the house made sausages deliver the core menu offerings, Ruiz also plans to include a sandwich of sardines in oil with shaved fennel, a rotating vegetarian offering, and (coming soon!) a follow up to his legendary Pan con Chompipe – the PICNIK Pork Shank sandwich, a signature offering similarly gargantuan to the Pan con Chompipe, prepared in the style of traditional German beer halls.

The approval form the Pasadena City Council 3-2, gives the green light for bringing a Chick-fil-A closer to opening across from Pasadena Community College. After several groups expressed concern over the company’s anti-LGBT/gay remarks and position.

Strawberry Fields Forever is a tribute to Japanese American pioneer farmers in Orange County.

The event begins at 10am and will go until 2pm, so don’t miss out on your chance to celebrate farming in Orange County with the Tanakas and Tanaka Farms!
National Ag Week is an annual event in which the Agriculture Council of America (ACA) joins with corporations and groups across America to introduce the local community to the importance of agriculture in our daily lives. As a local farm, we at Tanaka Farms want to be a part of this event and invite our local Orange County community to be a part of celebrating agriculture, as well as the contributions of Japanese-American farmers in the area.

Also at the farm on Ag Day…
