This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from The Regent Hotel in Santa Monica, California. Peter has all the travel updates, ranging from the skies over Iran to the continuing investigation into the Air India crash, and the latest NTSB hearings on Alaska Flight 1282 from January, 2024, and what this all means to your summer flight and travel plans. Then a deep dive into Santa Monica, ranging from the historic Santa Monica Pier (and its century-old carousel), to beach volleyball (with the legendary player Sinjin Smith), and let’s not forget historic Route 66. Santa Monica is also the headquarters for Coastal California cuisine, Josiah Citrin, Head Chef and Owner, Mélisse, Citrin, and Augie’s, discusses the importance of local sourcing. And Chef Michael Mina, of Orla, shares his discovery of Mediterranean food in his early childhood, and how he incorporates this cuisine with a California approach.
