Transform Your Existing DOORS From Ordinary to
Extraordinary!
{ AFTER }
When we published the first issue of The Local Dish Magazine in 2007, it was our mission to support and promote the small businesses in coastal, South Orange County. As retail, restaurants and offices reopen, I’ve been inspired by the many heartwarming and hopeful stories of loyalty, generosity and gratitude from the business owners I’ve encountered. Our appreciation for these people and establishments is predicated on much more than an exchange of goods and services. The relationships we’ve developed and the experiences we’ve shared are tightly woven into the fabric of our charming and unique community. When a regular customer of L’hirondelle restaurant ordered three salads to-go, and then added ten, $100 gift cards to his lunch order, owner Ali Golesorkhi was overcome with gratitude by this act of kindness. Paws Pet Resort’s owner, Chris Pernick, shared how one of her frequent canine guests had been sheltering at home for some time, so his parents offered to make a donation for a Zoom doggie daycare session with the beloved staff. Wendy Gallagher, owner of Waterbabies Swim School, received requests from customers to purchase “family quarantine swim nights” as a way to break the monotony and support her business in one stroke. Jane Shobe from Expedia Cruise Lines, devastated from the impact of COVID-19, has remained hopeful as her longtime clients have committed to re-booking cruises for 2021 and 2022. Please join me in patronizing our valued, local businesses so they may continue to thrive during this period of transition.
Stay safe and well, Matthew Vicelja, Publisher { BEFORE }

tivities designed with their needs in mind. All activities can be viewed on “live” doggie cams throughout the facility and in private boarding rooms. As a family-owned business, Chris reinvests profits back into the company’s facilities, her employees and the community. Chris is a big supporter of several local dog rescue groups. Over the last 15 years, she and Paws have rescued and re-homed over 400 dogs. During the pandemic, Chris and her two locations have struggled — like so many other small businesses in our community. She’s thankful, however, to have the loyalty and support of her customers during this period of uncertainty. As a gesture of appreciation, Chris received a donation from a longtime customer for a virtual doggie daycare session to reunite her four-legged companion with the Paws staff. “We’ve had customers bring in lunch for the staff throughout the stay-at-home order. I just can’t thank them enough,” shared Chris.
PAWS PET RESORTS
Fortunately, Paws Pet Resorts has been deemed an essential business and is open for boarding, daycare, training and grooming. Paws closely follows the social distancing guidelines outlined by local government officials and health experts, including curbside pick-up and drop-off, so you can stay safe and your dog can have some fun.
An Oasis for Your Pup
Paws Pet Resorts was opened by Chris Pernick in 2005 with a simple idea — create a really fun, safe, and clean environment for dogs. The professional staff has extensive training in dog behavior and is comprised of dog lovers who are committed to treating your dog like a member of the family.
For more information or to book a session call, 800-964-7297. For behindthe-scenes sneak peeks of life at Paws, follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
Chris believes that most dogs crave and need socialization with other dogs, so Paws offers play groups for both daycare and boarding guests. For dogs that prefer only human interaction, Paws provides private play ac-
Chris is grateful to all of her loyal customers and looks forward to seeing her four-legged clients again soon. The company slogan says it all; “We hope your best friend will Stay ‘n Play at Paws Pet Resorts.”

mexican kitchen BY DINA SCAGLIONE
South Orange County has long been known for its wide variety of south of the border specialty restaurants, from traditional favorites to jazzy fusions. If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican food experience with an intriguing twist, Bueno Bueno may just be the place for you. Ideally situated in the heart of historic downtown, near the train station and the Mission, Bueno Bueno imbues a distinct Spanish charm, espousing the warmth of San Juan Capistrano, bringing a balance of new moments blended with traditional tastes.
1/2 Day and Full Day Available (7am - 6pm) Private Kindergarten Program Toddler Potty Training Provided
25301 Sweet Meadow Lane, Laguna Niguel • (949) 249-8687 { Conveniently Located at Marina Hills & Golden Lantern }
It’s not often that you’ll find light, healthy or vegetarian items on a Mexican food menu, but the old world meets new world offerings at Bueno Bueno to deliver plenty of great-tasting and satisfying options. The Capistrano bowl, for example, is loaded with Mexican rice, black beans, iceberg lettuce, sweet corn, queso fresco, roasted pepitas, radishes, pico de gallo, avocado and glazed with a light, zesty cilantro dressing. The delectable Enchiladas de la Casa begin with homemade corn tortillas, rolled with queso fresco and topped with a tangy red sauce, served with beans and rice — with the option to add protein if you desire. The Chile Reyeno, playfully named after Chef Rey Pinedo, features a vibrant green pasillo pepper, slightly spicy and infused with authentic smoky flavors, overstuffed with rice and queso fresco, and topped with grilled shrimp. If tacos are your jam, then try one of the house specialties, teeming with carne asada, beer-battered shrimp or fried calamari. The Tinga de Pollo taco, accompanied with savory chipotle caramelized onions and crunchy cabbage, is definitely not to be missed. Dine al fresco on the patio or sit safely and socially distanced in the expansive dining area. Adult beverages include beer and wine from Mexico and interesting, hand-crafted cocktails. Bueno Bueno serves tequila, of course — or as they call it — "soup of the day." The name says it all; Bueno Bueno is doubly good!
