"I like the food at Cheeky's. Everything is super fresh (grapefruit juice is amazing). There is a great amount of attention to detail, i.e. beakers of juice, little log cabins of syrup). All that said, the chef is trying way-to-hard. She needs a few simple dishes to ..." - Jan 15, 2011

"Los Angeles magazine, February 2009 As you arc along Highway 111, the clutter of casino billboards and outlet malls gives way to an unfurling desert that surrounds Palm Springs, a town built for relaxation. Long a refuge for Hollywood types, retirees, and snowbirds, the area ..." - Feb 2009
