James Beard Award-Winning Southern Chef Sean Brock Is Opening a Restaurant in West Hollywood
One of South Carolina's most celebrated chefs will open his first Los Angeles restaurant in West Hollywood later this summer. Sean Brock, best known for his Southern restaurants in Charleston and Nashville, will introduce Darling, a new restaurant featuring seasonal ingredients prepared over a live-fire grill in the former Soulmate space on Robertson Boulevard. The Charleston-based chef will also introduce Bar Darling, an adjoining cocktail bar that will serve cocktails while vinyls play over a hi-fi sound system. As one of the South's most notable chefs, Brock is a high-profile figure dedicated to showcasing Southern Cuisine. He grew up in Virginia's Appalachian mountains before finishing culinary school and becoming executive chef at Charleston, South Carolina's Husk from 2010 until 2018; he then became a partner at McCrady's Restaurant. Brock won the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef Southeast in 2010, and became a New York Times bestseller with his first cookbook Heritage , which also garnered a James Beard Award. After opening (and stepping away from) multiple Husk locations throughout the South, Brock opened Atlanta's Minero in 2015, then debuted Joyland in 2020. Joyland was his first solo restaurant, followed by a stream of openings, including a duo of Nashville restaurants centered around Appalachian food. Brock joins a handful of recent non-California-based chefs bringing their experience to Los Angeles, including the Jamaican-born Adrian Forte for Lucia in Fairfax, and chef Eyal Shani's Miznon. Darling will open in July or August across the street from Lisa Vanderpump's Sur and the trendy spinoff from Vanderpump Rules reality TV stars' sandwich shop, Something About Her.

The perfect Haven holiday park for a kid-friendly break – with beach access, indoor waterpark and seaside theme park
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) I THINK we've found Haven on earth – and it's in Great Yarmouth. The Seashore Holiday Park on the Norfolk coast proved a perfect place for a kid-friendly break. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The upside-down ride, Pendulum Credit: Supplied 4 The Pirates Live Action Water Show on the bill will appeal to landlubbers and swashbucklers alike Credit: Supplied With direct access to a sandy beach, the children squealed with delight as they let off steam along the golden sand dunes after the car journey there. Arriving late afternoon, there was still time to check out Seashore indoor water park, and we soon found ourselves careering down high-speed flumes and slides, Tidal Twist and Coastal Cyclone, on inflatable doughnuts, no less. For those with smaller children, there is also a toddlers' pool and interactive SplashZone with smaller slides, tunnels and water canons. The next day, Harvey, 12, and Luella, ten, were eager to try more activities Haven had to offer — at a little extra cost. First up was archery, and after a few tips from the super-friendly coach, even I was finding the target. Junior Segway was next. Balancing was the tricky part, but once achieved, you just leaned forward to go and back to slow down. In no time, the kids were sashaying through cones on their Ninebot miniPRO Segways, performing doughnuts and doing high-fives as they zoomed past. Architectural gem Back in the pool, Aqua Jet saw us propelled around the water at the click of a button, like characters from a James Bond movie. But the joys of Great Yarmouth were calling — starting with the historic Pleasure Beach. There's something for everyone from the classic dodgems and fun house to the high-octane Polar Express rollercoaster and the dreaded Pendulum. Experience the Best of British in Great Yarmouth by exploring Joyland, Model Village and more Having already experienced the terror of the latter ride, which mercilessly suspends you upside down 50ft up, I left this one to my children. Just to show me up, they went on it TWICE laughing all the way. My humiliation complete, we stopped for a bite at The Empire, an architectural gem with an eclectic interior as well as live music, street food and craft beer. Surrounded by fairy lights, street signs and even a tree, it is a sight to behold and the Empire Stack burger will satisfy any meat lover. Great Yarmouth's Hippodrome oozes old-fashioned grandeur. Built in 1903 by circus showman George Gilbert, this quirky venue, which once saw legendary escapologist Houdini perform, is also home to a circus museum. Snapshot of English life The Pirates Live Action Water Show on the bill will appeal to landlubbers and swashbucklers alike. Comedy duo Jack Jay and Johnny Mac star in this adventure involving circus stunts, pyrotechnics, acrobatics, trapeze artists and plenty of slapstick comedy on the water. Merrivale Model Village, a hidden gem tucked away among the kitsch and glitz of the seafront, offers a snapshot of English life in miniature. From haunted house to castle, the detail is incredible. We enjoyed spotting the slapstick antics of OAPs escaping the old people's home.

A round of crazy golf, on a classic nine-hole course, is also included in the price of admission. Nearby, the SEA LIFE centre transports you to the underwater kingdom of Nemo and Dory. As well as Clownfish and Blue Tang, the kids loved the jellyfish and seahorses. In need of refreshment, we enjoyed a traditional ploughman's and afternoon tea at family-run Sara's Tearooms just off Great Yarmouth's seafront. We'd packed so much into this trip, but still had time for one more stop on the way home — Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens. Only 15 minutes from the coast and set in beautiful grounds, it houses exotic animals such as snow leopards, gibbons, monkeys, snakes, crocodiles and many more. We will definitely be back — our Great Yarmouth trip had been a roaring success.
