    Broken Spanish

    Los Angeles, CA, USA

    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."

We hope that, in the same way that Whittier's Four Bricks became the heart of the community, the Four Bricks will serve as a second home for the community that Whittier has grown to be in the same manner. In recognition of our commitment to preserving and celebrating the history and heritage of Whittier, we chose this name for our organization. We are overjoyed at the prospect of being able to provide a gathering place for our community to come together and celebrate any occasion.

    George and Birgit Klause visited Napa Valley to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary and fell in love with the wine lifestyle. They then started looking for a top-notch vineyard. What they ultimately discovered was a little bit of heaven—a stunning 61-acre estate situated in one of the best wine AVAs in the world. The estate, which is perched on a sunny slope above New Melones Reservoir and features lovely vineyards that catch the rising sun, is so stunning that it is highlighted in advertising for the Calaveras County Wine Growers Association. "In 2001, a range of various varietals, including Barbera, Grenache, Chardonnay, Sagrantino (a very uncommon Italian grape), Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache, were planted in our 11-acre award-winning vineyard in the Sierra Foothills. This property's unique location on top of a hill close to a large body of water, with morning fog, summer winds, and mild winters, is similar to the ideal Mediterranean climate and makes it suitable for the growing of grapes. At the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Tasting Competition and numerous other Competitions, our wines have taken home Double Gold and Best in Class awards ". The expansive plan that the Klause had for their lovely property has been realized as of 2022. They gladly offer their lovely estate as a private getaway and gorgeous wedding venue in addition to farming award-winning grapes on it.
