It seems that there's a rash of restaurant closings and openings these days.
Another casualty is Chino's Honolulu Harry's, which at one time also had a location in Corona.

Kealoha's is at 12206 Central Ave.

Original Tommy's continues to celebrate its 65th anniversary with a series of Tommy Tuesday deals at various locations.
Next week, Tommy Tuesday returns to the Inland Empire, with a twist.
Instead of the usual 99¢ chiliburgers deal, we're getting 99¢ chili fries, which is just fine by me.
Tommy Tuesday will take place from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. this Tuesday (October 11) at the Chino location, 12205 Mountain Ave., just north of the 60 Freeway.
All you have to do to get your deal is say the phrase "chili fry," which, if you are ordering chili fries, would be a little tricky not to do.
There's an extra charge if you want chili cheese fries, but it's totally worth it in my book.
You can also pick up the deal at locations in Eagle Rock, Long Beach, Simi Valley and Westminster.

Another weekend, another food truck event, it seems.
The second Chino Valley Foodie Festival will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday (September 17) at Don Lugo High School, 13400 Pipeline Ave., Chino.
Pre-sale tickets are $6 and are available here. Tickets will be $8 at the door. Children five and under get in free.
The event is a fundraiser for the Chino Valley Unified School District.
The first festival, held in April, attracted more than 4,000 people and was the first (that I know of) food truck festival in the Inland Empire.
Fourteen gourmet food trucks are scheduled to serve up tasty treats at Saturday's event, including the Ludo Truck, the Buttermilk Truck, Pie 'N Burger, and Rancho Cucamonga's Suite 106 Cupcakery.
The district will also present the annual State of the District with board president James Na.

It's been open a couple of months now, but the Chino La Crêperie Café will be celebrating its grand opening on Thursday (May 19).
The best part? All menu items and alcoholic beverages will be half price!
That bears repeating: All menu items and alcoholic beverages will be half price!
The restaurant, 3968 Grand Ave., will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., will close for an hour in preparation for the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce Monthly Mixer from 5 to 7 p.m., when they'll have a ribbon cutting.
The mixer is open to chamber members and non-members alike.
Regular restaurant seating will resume after 7 p.m.
And if you decide to have dessert, I wholeheartedly recommend the Martinique crêpe. It's delicious!

I was excited to find out a few days ago that La Crêperie Café, the Belmont Shore-based restaurant which was one of my favorites during my stint at the Press-Telegram, opened a location earlier this year in Chino.
This week, they've been offering a buy-one-get-one-free entrée after 8:30 p.m.
I'm planning to make the trek out there to take advantage of the deal. It's that good.
The offerexpires Saturday (April 30) expired yesterday. However, there are conflicting dates on the coupon. Click here for the coupon. You can still get a free dessert with entrée purchase today (April 29) or tomorrow (April 30). Click here for that coupon.
The Chino location of La Crêperie Café is at 3968 Grand Ave.

I was so looking forward to being there, but I was reminded after the column mentioning it appeared in the paper that the event was the same time as my cousin's son's bar mitzvah.
Oy vey!
At least the bar mitzvah was not without its own culinary experiences.
I'm disappointed that I missed what I believe was the first food truck festival in the Inland Empire.
However, there will be more. The Chino Valley Unified School District is already planning another festival for September.
Chino Valley reporter Neil Nisperos offers a glimpse into the event here.

Newly-elected 2nd District County Supervisor Janice Rutherford is looking to bring the rapidly expanding food truck industry to San Bernardino County.
She has asked San Bernardino County Environmental Health Services staff members to look into other nearby jurisdictions' (i.e. L.A. and Orange counties') food truck regulations and operations to examine reversing a long-standing prohibition.
She has also announced what I believe is the first ever (apart from a few smaller events) food truck festival in the Inland Empire.
The Chino Valley Foodie Festival is scheduled for 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 9, at Don Lugo High School, 13400 Pipeline Ave., Chino.
It's a great idea, and it'll be the first exposure for lots of folks to these gourmet mobile eateries.
Another big plus: It's a fundraiser for the Chino Valley Unified School District.
We've all read the stories about their budget woes.
