GARY CANTER – CANTER’S DELI 

Since 1931, Canter's has been serving up LA's finest deli cuisine. Voted the best pastrami by the LA Times and LA Weekly, Canter's prides itself on delivering the amazing experience that has kept its clientele returning over-and-over again for decades. This culinary landmark is lovingly managed by the third- and fourth-generations of the Canter family, who take a hands-on approach to ensure the highest quality in every aspect of the restaurant. Whether it's the freshly-baked breads, or the famous house-made pickles, Canter's always goes the extra mile to provide the authentic, traditional Jewish deli experience, which helped grow the restaurant from a small storefront to the massive operation that it is today. As inviting as its food, Canter's is also known for its welcoming ambiance, a perfect blend of contemporary comfort with the nostalgic charm of its stylish 1950's decor. Canter's continues to stand out as a unique dining experience that transports patrons back to the golden age of delis.

Canter's Deli is one of California's oldest delis. Located in Los Angeles' Miracle Mile District -the heart and soul of the entertainment industry - Canter's Delicatessen is a third-generation family-run business whose owners have an intense pride in their deli and a hands-on work ethic.

It all began in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1924. After losing a deli in the 1929 stock market crash, Ben Canter and his two brothers moved to California with just $500 in their pockets.Eager to succeed, they opened up a Canter Brother's Delicatessen in 1931 in Boyle Heights, the Jewish center of Los Angeles.

When the character of the neighborhood changed, Ben Canter's daughter, Selmo Udko, and her then husband, Harold Price, partnered with Ben Canter and his wife, Jennie, to purchase a prime location at 439 North Fairfax Avenue. And instead of calling it Canter's Brothers they called it Canter's Fairfax.

In 1953 this new team purchased the old Esquire Theatre at 419 North Fairfax and moved Canter's Deli just up the street to the larger location.

For over seventy-five years now this third-generation family-owned business has served food to locals, tourist, and celebrities alike. With its Art Deco décor and its trademark autumn leaves ceiling, this hangout has hardly changed in its over half century at its current location.

Canter's has also become a favorite whistle stop for hot political contests. Mayor Bradley, Governor Deukmejian, Rudy Giuliani, and Bill Simon have gone from booth to booth introducing themselves to our customers. And with CBS studios just up the block, celebrities frequent Canter's every day. Our catering department caters to many television shows and movies, as well as catering their wrap parties.

Over the years, many celebrities have passed through our doors. In the 50s Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller ate here, as did Jack Benny and Elizabeth Taylor. Other celebrity noshers include Sydney Poitier, Mel Brooks, Wilt Chamberlain, Charlene Tilton, Brooke Shields, Jacqueline Bisset, Catherine Oxenberg, John  Travolta, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Buddy Hackett, Olivia Newton John, Muhammad Ali, Monty Hall, Bill Cosby, David Brenner, Rodney Dangerfield, Dick Van Dyke, Shelly Winters, Elizabeth Montgomery, The Cars, Henry Winkler, and Greg Morris. The producer of Miami Vice, Michael Mann, wrote here for hours at a time when he was writing for Vegas. The Neil Simon movie, "I Ought to be in Pictures", with Walter Matthau was filmed here. Many celebrities who prefer to go "incognito" sneak in around 3:00 am for a late night nosh!

Canter's is also part of the larger Los Angeles community having received numerous awards from such institutions as the City of Hope, appreciation letters for outstanding and dedicated service, and letters from Jerry Lewis and the Muscular Dystrophy Association thanking Canters for donating food.

Canter's Delicatessen continues to be a Los Angeles landmark and late night hot spot, and, with the 2003 addition of Canter's Deli at Treasure Island in Las Vegas, we are committed to bringing the best delicatessen food to our noshers on the famed Las Vegas Strip and to Dodger fans at Dodger Stadium.

10/12 DUGGAN MCDONNELL, DRINKING THE DEVIL'S ACRE: A LOVE LETTER FROM SAN FRANCISCO AND HER COCKTAILS

DUGGAN MCDONNELL - AUTHOR OF DRINKING THE DEVIL'S ACRE: A LOVE LETTER FROM SAN FRANCISCO AND HER COCKTAILS

During the 1870s and ’80s, the Devil’s Acre was a single, bar-filled block within San Francisco’s infamous Barbary Coast that boasted the wickedest, wildest saloons in America. A few short blocks away, marble-floored drinking palaces poured the high art of the cocktail. From this, San Francisco’s electrifying nightlife was born and a few generations later, the city’s farm to glass cocktails have never tasted better.

Quench your thirst with these tales and recipes from a city devoted to drink. Duggan McDonnell (part culinary anthropologist and part whimsical professor) masterfully weaves essays on prominent spirits, insights into San Francisco’s historic love affair with amaro, and recipes for his Bartender’s Secret Formulas together with 25 iconic cocktail recipes made famous by the City by the Bay, from the legendary Pisco Punch and the ingenious Mai Tai, to the Gold Rush era Sazerac and the more modern day Lemon Drop. An additional 45 recipes show the evolution of these classic elixirs over time, resulting in such liquor-splashed favorites as The Revolver and The Last Word.

Through the lens of the Devil’s Acre, we see that San Francisco is and always will be one long, unending romp of bottles popping—a party to which the whole world is invited.

Duggan McDonnell is a barkeeper, distiller, winemaker, educator and community organizer. A true champion of the cocktail, Duggan teaches regularly at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans, the California Historical Society, for the U.S. Bartenders Guild, and many more. He is the co-founder and C.E.O. of Campo de Encanto Pisco, and lives in San Francisco, California.

Luke Abiol is a photographer and creative consultant based in San Francisco. He has collaborated with the likes of Nike, Wallpaper, Monocle, Stone Island, BMW, and Freunde von Freunden. When he’s not photographing or consulting on creative projects, Luke spends his time making books and cooking big meals for his beautiful wife and four children.

10/09 SUSAN ZIRINSKY, 48 HOURS, AMERICAN CHEF & FOOD WRITER RUTH REICHL, MY KITCHEN YEAR, STEVE EVANS THE MOVIE GUY

SUSAN ZIRINSKY – EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, 48 HOURS

“48 HOURS” INVESTIGATES IN “SHADOW OF DEATH”

Saturday, Oct. 10, 2015 (10:00 PM, ET/PT)

Troy Roberts and 48 HOURS investigate the case against a young man who police say snuck into his family’s upscale California home and shot dead his parents and paralyzed a younger brother in “Shadow of Death,” to be broadcast Saturday, Oct. 10 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Andra and Brad Sachs were gunned down in their San Juan Capistrano home on Feb. 9, 2014.  The intruder also shot their young son, shot at and missed another daughter, and left a third sibling untouched.

Police initially thought the wealthy couple was killed after a business deal went bad. However, a month after the shooting, the couple’s then-19-year-old son, Ashton, was charged with murder. It was a twist that no one saw coming, but it seems there were signs along the way.

What would cause a son to kill? And could this be the same person who delivered a loving eulogy for his parents at their funeral?

“There may be mental illness,” his aunt, Stephanie Garber, tells 48 HOURS.

According to family members, Ashton Sachs was an avid player of violent video games and had been fascinated with the sensational 1989 murders of an entertainment executive and his wife, who were killed by their sons, Lyle and Erik Menendez. Indeed, Sachs wrote a college term paper about the Menendez case.

“He called his parents and told them he got an A on it,” Garber tells 48 HOURS. “He gets A’s all the time. So why that particular paper? He was notifying them that he was particularly interested in the Menendez story.”

Ashton had also admitted to his aunt, Lesley Summers, he had bought a gun. “What do you need a gun for?” Summers recalls asking Ashton. “He goes, ‘For protection.’ And then Audra called me later and I said, ‘Why is Ashton shopping for a gun?’ And she goes, ‘What?’ She goes, ‘Oh, that’s not good.’”

There were signals that something was amiss with Ashton Sachs, suggests Ali Mattu, a highly respected child psychologist at Columbia University Medical Center, who reviewed the Sachs case for 48 HOURS. “I think what we have is an individual where there were a lot of warning signs of something that could happen,” Mattu says.

“He blamed his parents,” Los Angeles Times reporter and 48 HOURS consultant Jack Leonard, says of what Sachs told investigators. “He said he felt his parents didn’t trust him and that he was the least-favorite child out of the family.”

Ashton Sachs is scheduled to go on trial for the murders in March 2016.  For now, Sachs remains in a California jail. His aunts say they’re the only family members who still talk to him.

“I told him to his face, ‘I hate what you did. It was a terrible thing, but we love you, you know? And we always will,’” Summers says.

“We always loved Ashton,” adds Garber. “How could you not have pity for somebody that’s locked up in a cell like that?”

Roberts and 48 HOURS report on the Sachs’ murders through interviews with forensic, medical and psychological experts, and with Leonard, Burghardt, Garber, Summers, attorney Mary Fulginiti, and others. 48 HOURS: “Shadow of Death” is produced by Chuck Stevenson and Judy Rybak. Greg Fisher, Michelle Fannucci and Avi Cohen are the development producers. George Baluzy and Michael Baluzy are the editors. Al Briganti is the executive editor. Susan Zirinsky is the senior executive producer.

ABOUT IRONE SINGLETON

ABOUT THE BOOK: Blindsided by the Walking Dead
There are 34 brief but meaty chapters ... the last six will really sate the hunger of diehard "Walking Dead" fans. ~ Mekeisha Madden Toby, MSN Reviews On the streets of Atlanta, the fight to survive is a daily battle. From the drug-infested corners of one of the city's worst housing projects, to alleyways filled with ravenous zombies-- Blindsided by the Walking Dead examines one man's battle to overcome the violence, drugs, and crime of the 'hood; starting with a young IronE Singleton determined to succeed despite an abusive mother, an absent father, and the temptations of instant gratification inherent with the thug life. Football and Faith in God become IronE's allies in his quest to escape and help him reach for the lights of the University of Georgia's football field and theater stages. After years of struggle--failed businesses, small roles, and an ill-fated trip to Los Angeles--IronE snags his major breakthrough role, playing the kind of drug-dealing, gun-toting thug he would have become on the streets, in The Blind Side. When he is cast as T-Dog on AMC's international mega-hit "The Walking Dead", IronE examines through art what humanity is about and what it means to truly survive against all odds. Alongside cast mates Michael Rooker, Norman Reedus, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Andrew Lincoln, IronE fought, gagged, and sweat his way into the hearts and minds of millions around the world.

LINDY NOVAK - NATIONAL MARKETING DIRECTOR, SPOTTSWOODE ESTATE VINEYARD & WINERY

Since being founded in 1982, Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery has become one of Napa Valley’s defining wineries, recognized for making exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon in an elegant and age-worthy style. Planted in 1882, and farmed organically for three decades, the legendary Spottswoode Estate Vineyard is recognized as one of Napa Valley’s first-growth-quality winegrowing sites.

In 1982, Mary Novak founded Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery and made her first vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon. In the years since, Spottswoode has become one of   Napa Valley’s defining wineries, recognized for making exceptional wines in an elegant and age-worthy style. Stewarded by Mary and her daughters, Beth and Lindy,

Spottswoode was one of the first wineries to earn organic certification, and played a pivotal role in championing women in the wine industry. One of the few wineries with the terroir, tradition and track record of excellence to merit such a distinction, Spottswoode’s legendary vineyard has earned wide comparisons to the great first-

After a decade of growing winegrapes at her historic St. Helena vineyard, Mary Novak founded Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery, and made her first vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon, in 1982. In the years since, Spottswoode has become one of Napa Valley’s defining wineries. Stewarded by Mary and her daughters, Beth and Lindy, Spottswoode has stayed true to an elegant, balanced and age-worthy style that captures the character of the vintage and the complexity of Spottswoode’s legendary estate vineyard. As one of the first wineries to earn organic certification, Spottswoode also pioneered organic winegrowing in Napa Valley, and championed the role of women in the wine industry.

Today, Spottswoode is guided by two generations of the Novak family, and Winemaker  Aron Weinkauf, who oversees the vineyard and the wines. As one of the few wineries  with the terroir, tradition and track record of excellence to merit such a distinction, Spottswoode has earned wide comparisons to the great first-growths.

ABOUT Lindy Novak
In 1992, Lindy Novak joined her sister, Beth, as part of a dedicated second generation working alongside their mother, Mary, to guide Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery. In the more than 20 years since, Lindy has brought her own unique touch to her role as national director of marketing, by building loyal and lasting relationships with Spottswoode’s distributor, restaurant and retail partners. Known for her warmth, humor and thoughtfulness, Lindy oversees Spottswoode’s sales program in 47 states, and is an eloquent ambassador for Spottswoode and the Novak family at tastings, dinners and other key trade and consumer events throughout the country.

The eldest of the five Novak children, Lindy was 15 when she moved to Napa Valley with her family. A part of the emerging Napa Valley wine community, Lindy’s friends included the children of the Shafers and Chappellets, and she occasionally babysat the Duckhorn children. Summers were spent helping out around the Spottswoode Estate Vineyard with her siblings, playing tennis, and going to concerts at the Mondavi Winery.

After earning a degree in geography from UC Berkeley, Lindy worked extensively in the clothing industry, first as part of the buying program, and later as a manager, at Macy’s. Following Macy’s, Lindy began representing several high-end clothing lines, including Christian Dior, Henry Grethel, John Henry and Gottex swimwear.

In 1992, Lindy began working at Spottswoode part time. She soon discovered that she enjoyed working with her mother and sister, and contributing to the development of Spottswoode. Lindy also found that her honest, engaged approach to sales was the perfect fit for their family-run winery. After a number of years building distributor and retail relationships throughout California, Lindy took on the role of national marketing director. In this capacity, Lindy travels frequently, supporting Spottswoode’s distributor partners in all American markets. “I try to bring the same values to our relationships that we bring to our wines,” says Lindy. “They should be authentic, thoughtful and enduring.”

Lindy’s other interests include reading, writing, gardening, athletics, maintaining friendships, taking care of her menagerie of pets, and volunteer efforts with animal and environmental organizations. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, Jeff.

CLAY GANTZ – OWNER, GANTZ FAMILY VINEYARDS & THE 1ST VP ON THE RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY WINEGROWERS BOARD             

The small size of Gantz Family Vineyards, just 4.5 planted acres, allows Clay Gantz to farm in a precise and labor-intensive manner. The hands-on work of trunk training, pruning, shoot positioning, leafing, irrigating and monitoring for pests have allowed Clay to get to know each and every vine; he works collaboratively with the rest of the vineyard team to make sure each plant gets what it needs. Clay and his wife Celeste bought the property in 2009, established the vineyard in 2010 and sold their first harvest to Kosta Browne Winery in 2013. Clay is an award-winning amateur winemaker who completed the certificate program in winemaking offered by the world-renowned Department of Viticulture and Enology at the University of California, Davis, Extension for individuals employed in the wine industry. He is vice president of the Russian River Valley Winegrowers.

The Russian River Valley Winegrowers (RRVW) is a community dedicated to promoting the Russian River Valley as the premier region for growing cool climate grapes while producing wines that showcase the diversity of our many neighborhoods. Our farmers and winemakers work in a manner that is environmentally sound, socially equitable and economically viable in order to continue our legacy as good stewards of the land and producers of distinctive wines of exceptional quality, authenticity and integrity.
