I'd be shirking my duties as a food blogger if I didn't snap pictures of newsworthy food stories during a stroll I took yesterday afternoon in downtown Fullerton. Whenever I get the chance (and the time), I do this: I put rubber soles to the ground and do cursory visits to check the pulse of places I reviewed. Les Amis, Tranquil Tea Lounge and The Pint House, even Mitsu E Shabu Shabu are still going strong; but on this walk through, it seems we've lost one. Lizarran Tapas, the only local franchise from a Barcelona-based restaurant group, is now dark.

And I wouldn't be a Forker if I didn't post an update on the progress of Joseph Mahon's Burger Parlor, which popped-out of its Rialto Cafe space and now is slowly but surely incubating at a space of its own at 204 N. Harbor (see the red circle in the picture above), just footsteps away from the new Farolito.
