ARE YOU READY TO ORDER?


As November is all about enjoying the Thanksgiving Day holiday, The Rage Monthly has themed this month’s issue around two staples of the holiday season…food and wine. We begin with our fashion spread as the magazine took a day trip to the Bernardo Winery for a romp among the vineyards that turned into a lovely fall day after the rain. The vines will harvest the “nectar of the gods” and the models will get you inspired to catch up on the latest fashions for fall. How are your cooking skills? One of our spotlights for November is on Sam Zien, otherwise affectionately


known as “Sam, The Cooking Guy.” His everyman’s approach to cooking and food will hopefully motivate you to try something new in the kitchen over the holidays. Learn more about his philosophy of the culinary arts on page 48. Looking to dine out this month? Maybe step away from the stove? Whether you are a San Diego local or visiting


from OC/LA…one new establishment that is creating a lot of positive buzz is the exciting new restaurant/nightclub called Eden. Eden and its sister restaurant ChileCo Bistro are located right in the heart of Hillcrest and offer numerous temptations to delight in for dining out. Owner and Chef Scotty Wagner gave The Rage Monthly the lowdown of his master plan for the business. His vision is “get it done and get it done right” and from what I hear…it’s a mission accomplished. Read more on page 76. Now. After you have wined and dined to your heart’s content, let’s settle in for some entertaining. One star of


Broadway and new mother of a one-year-old is Idina Menzel. The Rage Monthly caught up with our fair lady of RENT and Wicked as she is currently on tour in her one-woman cavalcade of songs. Even though she is known for “Defying Gravity,” Menzel is definitely grounded now and warm to speak with on page 36. Perhaps you are in the mood to settle in and put on a CD to enjoy? May I suggest FOP by music icon Kristian Hoffman. His approach and skill for creating an extravagant and melodic set of songs is spot-on. Discover more about his latest work and why exactly he titled it FOP…on page 52. There is nothing like New York for the holidays. The city that never sleeps is getting closer to the Broadway debut of a new musical. One that has been described as “one of the most expensive in Broadway’s history.” The amazing adventures of Peter Parker a.k.a. Spiderman debut in late November with Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark. One of the stars of the production and no stranger to a hit show is Isabel Keating. Her magnificent portrayal of Judy Garland in The Boy from Oz is proof positive that this actress is known for bringing her heart and soul to any role. For Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark, she will portray Peter Parker’s aunt and she guarantees the show is “simply fantastic.” Learn more about this superb talent on page 54. Well…I’ll soon be going for the leftovers in the fridge. I’ll take a cold turkey sandwich with mayo and a side of


cranberry. Oh! And there is still some apple pie left! Happy Thanksgiving to all of our readers from us at The Rage Monthly. P.s. Got your Christmas shopping done yet?!
