From Salt and Straw’s holiday collaboration with Dwayne Johnson to Matter of Craft’s Beers for Cheer fundraiser, here is our weekly guide to the latest in O.C.’s dining scene.
Salt and Straw
Anaheim
The scoop shop known for innovative ice cream teamed up with actor Dwayne Johnson to create three holiday-inspired flavors for the season. There’s Dwanta’s Teremana Spiked Eggnog (featuring Teremana Reposado tequila), I Saw Mommy Kissing Dwanta Claus (whiskey ice cream with peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough and a milk chocolate fudge swirl), and The Rock’n Around the Christmas Tree (Pacific Northwest spruce ice cream with raspberry jam, glacé cherries, and brownies). You can pick up select flavors at the Downtown Disney location or order online for shipping. For every pint sold of the spiked eggnog flavor, Salt & Straw and Teremana will donate $1 to World Central Kitchen, which partners with local restaurants to provide high-quality meals for those in need. saltandstraw.com/products/dwanta-holiday-pack
