North County’s seaside gem is opening its arms this November to Clique Hospitality’s newest concept, Temaki Bar: Handroll, Sushi, Sake. This Encinitas hotspot celebrates the tradition that all perfect hand rolls should be eaten within seconds of the chef passing it across the counter — while the rice is still warm and the fish still cold. In keeping with tradition, Temaki’s hand rolls are prepared counter-side and made-to-order for guests, highlighting the freshest seafood including blue crab, yellowtail, salmon and more. Helmed by San Diego’s very own James Beard Smart Catch Leader, Chef JoJo Ruiz, Temaki Bar will debut signature rolls and fresh sashimi, alongside an eclectic sake program. Gather your friends and family and stop by to discover your new go-to dinner spot.

Oolong Gallery is happy to invite you to the upcoming show "Chiffonnier / Ragpicker" — an exhibition in dialogue between two Dutch artists: Bert Frings (Rotterdam, NL) and Bas Louter (Los Angeles, Calif.). Opening Reception May 6 from 2 - 8 p.m. | address at 6 p.m. On display at Oolong Gallery from May 6 - June 18, 2023. The title cites French artist Edouard Manet’s painting "The Ragpicker" (1865-1870). The traditional chiffonnier makes a living by picking up and selling rags and junk. Bert and Bas produce art by reusing objects and images for practical or aesthetic purposes and so prolonging their usefulness. Bas Louter and Bert Frings met in Utrecht, Netherlands in 1997, and their ongoing dialogue now continues on view at Oolong Gallery. The exhibition will be about their favorite Dutch artist René Daniëls, the influence of moving to the colossal hybrid city LA and of classical vanitas — still life paintings of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The following interview between the two artists delves deeper into their practice. www.oolongallery.com Oolong Gallery on Instagram
