“Anaheim’s Top of the V, the rooftop restaurant at The Viv Hotel under the direction of Executive Chef Jayro Martinez, invites guests to celebrate Día De Los Muertos with a special brunch on Sunday, November 2nd from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Perched high above Anaheim with panoramic city views, the restaurant will present a lavish buffet inspired by the flavors and traditions of the holiday – complete with live mariachi and festive sips. A dessert bar rounds out the feast with Flan, Conchas, Pan de Muerto, Tres Leches Cake, Buñuelos, Horchata, and fresh seasonal fruit. To toast the occasion, guests can opt for Bottomless Marigold Mimosas and Santa Sangre Bloody Marys (additional charge).” Chef Jayro takes a break from his busy kitchens at Viv Hotel to join us.

“Located atop The Viv Hotel in Anaheim, Top of the V pairs award-winning Spanish-inspired cuisine with sweeping skyline views, fire-lit ambiance, and front-row seats to nightly fireworks. Guests can enjoy craft cocktails and shareable plates in a setting designed to delight every sense.

For our concluding segment at 11:45 a.m. our own Chef Andrew Gruel, the menu-maker behind the full-service Calico Fish House (located in the Sunset Beach area of Huntington Beach) provides another timely and informative “Ask the Chef” segment where he responds to listeners’ thoughtful inquiries.

Last week we discussed that Social Media can have an enormous impact on restaurants both on the upside as well as the unfortunate negative. We first focused on the upside. Chef Andrew is skilled at managing and utilizing Social Media (for the good) to build his brand. We’ll continue that conversation.

All of this and heaping helpings of extra deliciousness on this week’s not-to-miss show!
