Rustic Canyon Wants Full Alcohol, Chef Shakeup at Gabardine, More!

SANTA MONICA— Quite exciting news, actually. None of Josh Loeb and Zoe Nathan's farm-to-table haunts serve full alcohol. Rustic Canyon, Milo & Olive, and Huck are all licensed for just beer and wine. Boutique wines and rare craft beers. However, Josh and Zoe are looking to secure a full 47 for their flagship, Rustic Canyon, which inevitably means a smart menu of seasonal drinks is soon to come.

POINT LOMA—Talk about a bad breakup. On the subject of Brian Malarkey, news just in that chef Chad White of Gabardine has decamped as a result of "creative differences."
