Stepping Out: readers, Nellie Edwards and dining notes
Readers share a column of light anecdotes and restaurant profiles. Nellie Edwards, owner of El Chico in Bellflower, returns to work after serious injuries, with praise for her manager Mary Delfs and staff. The piece also previews new dining spots Brass Penny Inn, Diamond Lounge, Sir George's Smorgasbord House, Tartan House, and Cantonese platter at Thanh Village, plus a light pay-for-coverage reminder and a snail-hurling paperboy moment.
