Cast and Plow at The Ritz Carlton in Marina Del Rey

There's  so many restaurants to choose from in Southern, California. My friends, Tom Hallickformerly of ''The Young and Restless'' and ''Gangster Squad'' and his wife Yin Jiang, joined me and journalist Rossana Huang for an awesome dinner at The Ritz Carlton in Marina Del Rey.

Both Yin and Tom have traveled throughout the world and delighted their palates to a variety of
dishes. Yin, by the way is a concert violinist with Andrea Bocelli. There's no question that both
Yin and Tom know of where  they speak when it comes to quality and healthy cuisine.

The Ritz Carlton, has over 80 hotels and are the leading hotel chain in the world. This Ritz and Carlton is one of four among the chain that has created a unique dining atmosphere, inviting their employees to create an organic flair with their culinary delights. Our culinary journey was a special
one with Chef Duley and Ryan Flannery personally taking care of our party.  Cast and Plow, the new restaurant was introduced to us by Ryan Flannery, the Food and Beverage Manager and Chef Branden Duley, the restaurant chef.

I don't know of one hotel that concentrates all their efforts on organic foods for their eateries.
This was  a most memorable evening, on a Sunday. Fresh farm raised halibut in a unique
sauce, created by Chef Duley, a ribeye which comes from Southern, California, ricotta with vegetables, all from Farmers Market. It's a wonderful dining journey, when you have a staff that's passionate about their profession. But that's not all. What about a pastry chef who prepares different flavor ice creams everyday and picks her own  Ponelo grapefruit from her backyard in Balboa Park.
We're talking about Adina Morgan. Truly one of the most gifted pastry chefs we've seen in many years. One of the most popular dishes she creates, is the Brown sugar cake with Mecca dates.
You'll be singing, em good and asking for seconds on thus desert.

At the end of our dining journey there was a special berry prepared by Chef Duley with a wonderful sauce. Together with some expresso, it was a wonderful end to our dining engagement.
''This was an exceptional evening. I would recommend anyone who enjoys excellent service and cuisine to visit Cast and Plow,'' stated Tom Hallick.
