Broken Spanish is a documentary that follows the development of its chef, Ray Garcia. Combining the classically trained chef who was born and raised in Los Angeles with the powerful influence of a Latin upbringing, the result is a unique culinary experience. Broken Spanish draws its inspiration and flavors from a diverse range of sources to create an experience that is one-of-a-kind, distinctive, and visually stunning. Broken Spanish demonstrates Chef Ray Garcia's distinct culinary perspective while also making a significant contribution to the world's abounding culinary heritage. Flavors that are both bold and refined are used to express the cuisine. Finished dishes are presented in a contemporary manner while preparations demonstrate elements of long-established tradition. Garcia, a native Angeleno, draws his culinary inspiration from the city's rich culture, the abundance of fresh produce available in Southern California, and his classical training. Garcia, who was previously the chef de cuisine at Fig for six years, now has his own, fully matured style that is bright, bold, and ingredient-driven. "If you could design a perfect chef for Los Angeles, he might look a lot like Ray Garcia, an Eastside guy who seems to spend almost as much time proselytizing for healthy eating in local schools as he does in the kitchen," Jonathan Gold wrote in the Los Angeles Times when naming Fig as one of the "101 Best Restaurants" in the city in 2013. In order to please both the transgressive big-meat guys and the Gaia-conscious vegans; the carb-lovers and the gluten-free, Garcia's menu has something for everyone."

The eponymous restaurant of chef Edoardo "Edo" Baldi, which is located in the heart of Beverly Hills, specializes in Tuscan cuisine with an emphasis on Emilia-Romagna flavors. Dining at e. baldi will transport you to the coast of Italy, where the flavors of the ingredients pop, the desserts are worth saving room for, and the experience of sharing a meal with friends and family becomes almost religious. e. baldi first opened its doors in 2006 and has since built a loyal following of customers who can be counted on to order their favorite dishes on a weekly basis – or who are eager to try each and every seasonal specialty that the restaurant offers. Some people swear by the fish, while others swear by the pasta, and still others swear by the desserts. One thing that everyone can agree on is that Edo puts his heart and soul into every meal. We hope that you will join us soon to enjoy a little taste of Tuscany right in your own back yard.
