Far East meets far-out glam at Red Pearl Kitchen

CALENDARLIVE.COM: When owners Tim and Liza Goodell pulled the plug on Meson G, their sophisticated small-plates restaurant this last July, they brought out what might prove to be a trump card: Red Pearl Kitchen. That's the name of the Asian boîte the two (who made their reputation with Aubergine in Newport Beach) opened a few years ago in Huntington Beach with a menu that culled dishes from all over Asia, but mostly China and Thailand. There's one in San Diego too.
