The Culinary Bromance Lighting Up Orange County’s Restaurant Scene | Eater LA

"At South Coast Plaza, the French bistro Populaire opened on June 1 and has already earned high marks from outgoing Orange County Register critic Brad A. Johnson; I found the menu to be charming and fun yet serious in its bistro roots, featuring playful items like ebelskivers stuffed with buttery escargot, a short rib burger, and plentiful duck preparations (seared breast sliced and confit leg meat wrapped like a Vietnamese egg roll), all set against the backdrop of some of Orange County’s most expensive retail real estate." - Jenn Tanaka
