What does a cheesesteak look like when a fine-dining team builds it from the ground up?

That's exactly what Matu Cheesesteaks is doing in Calabasas.

It starts with a heavily sesame-seeded roll that brings real texture and structural integrity, then Cooper cheddar, a long hot pepper down the middle, and their Wagyu steak.

The beef is cooked properly, well but not chewy or overdone, the onions are caramelized without disintegrating, and that pepper cuts right through all the savory, umami richness.

This was a long-awaited opening, and it delivers. And shout out to Chef Scott! It was great chatting πŸ™

Moorpark could be facing one of its biggest changes in years, and it's going straight to the voters!

A proposal called Arroyo Verde would bring up to 700 new homes to 126 acres of former farmland on the west end of the city, along with a 20-acre community park and a small commercial zone.

If you live in Moorpark, this is exactly the kind of decision that shapes a city for decades, and your voice matters here.

You found two nearly identical luxury homes on the same block, but one sold in a week over asking while the other has sat for eight months.

So how do you know what a high-end home is actually worth before you make an offer?

Elena from Sherman Oaks is ready to move up to a view property in the Calabasas hills, but the wild pricing swings at the top of the market have her completely confused. The good news is there's a way to see past the noise, and it comes down to one thing most sellers can't do.

On this episode of "Ask Kevin," we break down "emotional equity," why it makes sellers overprice, and how removing emotion tells you what a property is really worth.

Are you ready for Ventura County's very first Texas Roadhouse?

It's officially under construction at the Camarillo Premium Outlets on Ventura Boulevard, with a targeted late 2026 opening. This will be the only location in the entire county, which is a big deal for a chain this popular.

You already know the draw: hand-cut steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and that fresh-baked bread that hits the table before your meal.

Texas Roadhouse consistently ranks among the highest-rated casual dining chains in the country, and dropping it into one of the busiest retail corridors around is a smart move.

Do you love real, proper Italian food? Then Porcellino's Italian Deli needs to be on your radar.

This family-owned spot just opened on Madera Road, and as a former chef, this is the kind of place that genuinely excites me.

We're talking house charcuterie boards with imported meats and cheeses, meatballs in pomodorino sauce, lasagna bolognese, house-made fresh pasta, slow-cooked beef ragu, and sandwiches built around serious ingredients like Prosciutto di Parma, San Daniele, and house-made porchetta.

There's even a coffee bar, so it's a true one-stop shop for everything Italian!

Been considering a Rivian? This is big.

The brand is opening an experiential showroom at The Commons as part of the larger mixed-use redevelopment happening there.

It'll be a hands-on brand space where you can get up close with the vehicles, learn the technology, and understand what actually makes Rivian different, plus 150 fast chargers on site.

Between the new apartments, restaurants, and now this, The Commons is shaping up to be one of the most interesting destinations in the entire valley.

Is Thousand Oaks finally getting the downtown it deserves?

The City Council just approved a $4.58 million land purchase on Thousand Oaks Boulevard, and while that might sound like a routine transaction, it's actually the first concrete move toward something people here have wanted for years: a true Main Street with walkable development, housing, retail, lodging, and entertainment in one connected corridor.

If you follow the local market, pay close attention, because walkable downtowns consistently drive up surrounding property values and change how people experience a city.

Thousand Oaks has all the ingredients, and this is the first domino.

After showing you what $5 gets you at Erewhon, it's time to go big. What does a $50 lunch actually look like at LA's most expensive grocery store?

I went with their Korean short ribs, which are genuinely fantastic. It's like classic bulgogi with Asian pear and soy marinade. The famous Hailey Bieber Strawberry Skin Glaze smoothie though? Mediocre. It's basically a strawberry-banana Orange Julius.

For $25, I'm not sure the short ribs are worth it either, since I could make double at home.

Is $50 at Erewhon worth it? Watch and decide for yourself.
