Finally. Valentine’s Day is going to step aside, just once, for something really really important—the reopening of El Chorro Lodge. The landmark restaurant recently shut its doors after a 72-year run, but Campbell Soup matriarch Jacquie Dorrance swooped in to purchase the place and give it a little TLC.

At a recent industry wine tasting, EATERAZ caught up with El Chorro’s new operating partners, Kristy and Tim Moore. The former owners of Continental Catering are working closely with the new chef, Charles Kassels, formerly with The Boulders and Westin Kierland, to update the menu but make sure history (meaning that sticky bun recipe) is preserved.

Kristy had all the news you need to know at this point in the renovation—namely, what your plans are going to be on Valenti… er, El Chorro Lodge Day. But she’s also just fun as hell to hang out with – watch the video below to see what we mean.
