Chef Mark
Lee Bolton
I
t seems like all the food he touches turns
into a Gourmet dish. Since Chef Mark
Lee Bolton began working at the Phoenix Club, the known German fare in the
Phoenix Club Restaurants has advanced
from very good to “extraordinarily, amazingly great”, according to regular diners
who could not hide their joy. Yes,
food can make you happy.
California
Cuisine
F
Chef
Mark has
been trained only
by the best as he was trained
by the first American born Master
Chef, Marvin Slaughter CEC, in the Culinary Arts Program. Chef Mark began his
training at age 17 and, after only three months,
was placed into a formal culinary apprenticeship by Chef Marvin at the Westin South Coast
Plaza Hotel in Costa Mesa, CA. During the three
year apprenticeship, Mark won many awards at various culinary competitions and was voted Apprentice
of the Year by the Chef ’s D’Cuisine Association in Los
Angeles, CA. Chef Mark graduated from the culinary apprenticeship in 1984 with a degree as a Certified Journeyman Chef.
rom his newly introduced Signature bread that looks and
is healthy but tastes like a sinful
dream of indulging in the Dolce
Vita, to his daily and weekly specials that he offers, every dish is
more a culinary experience than
“just a meal”. An experience that
takes the amazed food enthusiast
on a journey to culinary heights
that have to be experienced individually and in person.
Mark went on to work for the restaurants Ambrosia, Le Premier, Golden Truffle, and The Magic Island. Then, in 1989, he
decided to try his hand in the ever difficult catering industry at
The Turnip Rose Elite Catering in Orange, California. The Turnip
Rose, voted #1 in the “Best Of ” issue of Orange County Magazine
three years straight, is considered one of the most prestigious and high
Chef Mark’s recipe:
German Cheese & Beer Soup
with Rye Croutons
Serves: 4 Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, divided - 4 ounces German Black
Forest ham, diced - 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 3 shallots, chopped - 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup German lager - 7 cups chicken stock
- Pinch of cumin seed - 2 cups shredded Allgäuer Emmentaler cheese - 2 cups shredded Tilsiter cheese - Sea salt
- Freshly ground white pepper - 4 slices Rye bread, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Preparation:
end wedding caterers
in the Orange County
area. Chef Mark’s skill
in the kitchen quickly
led to Chef Mark being named Executive
Chef of the Turnip
Rose in 1993.
In November 2010, Chef Mark joined the
award winning Le Chateau Restaurant as
the Executive Chef at the elegant Europeanstyled boutique hotel Ayres in Costa Mesa,
CA. While there, Chef Mark has earned rave
reviews and has been featured in many periodicals as well as the Orange County Register
for his innovative flair.
At the Phoenix Club, Chef
Mark is responsible for the
planning and directing of the
culinary operations of the
restaurant and banquet facility. He takes particular pride
in the superb quality of his
ingredients. His approach to
dining is simple, “good food is
all about simplicity and letting
the product speak for itself.”
In a stockpot, melt 1/4 cup butter over
medium-high heat. Add Black Forest
ham and sauté until golden brown. Add
onion, shallots, garlic and chili powder.
Sauté until glossy, about 2 minutes.
Add flour to create a roux. Whisk in German lager and stock. Add cumin seed
and lower the heat to medium. Cook
until liquid is reduced by half, about 35
minutes. Remove from heat and stir in
the cheeses. Season to taste with salt
and pepper. To make the croutons, melt
the remaining butter in a medium sauté
pan over high heat. Add the diced German whole grain bread and pan-toast
until crispy. Pour into serving bowls and
top with the croutons and the cilantro.
Serve immediately.

The Schützen participate throughout the year in parades and ethnic
events as honor guards. Once a year
they shoot for the honor of having
their own King and his knights (Ritters). The custom dates back many
hundreds of years in Germany.

“Star Party”
planned
Photo: NASA
“If you have ever looked up into the night
sky and wondered about the vastness of
the universe and what it all means, you
may be interested in Astronomy.”
Bob Miller is trying to bring an astronomy
group together. If you have ever given this
subject any thought or have a new found
interest in Astronomy, Space Exploration or
anything to do with outer space, you should
attend a “Star Party” Bob is organizing.
The event will be held on the Phoenix Club
grounds near the Soccer Field. A large telescope will be set up on the grounds where
everyone may view some of the planets in
our solar system, our moon and deep sky
objects (Galaxies, Nebulae). The date and
time of this event will be announced as soon
as there are enough interested members.
The group shall meet twice an month and
field trips to Southern California Facilities
engaged in Astronomical Research and interest (Mt. Wilson Observatory, Griffith Park
Observatory, Mt. Palomar Observatory etc.)
are on the agenda. If you have an interest
in Astronomy and would like to be notified
via email about the initial star party, please
email Bob Miller in advance so he has an idea
of the number of attendees. The email address is: [email protected].
Phoenix Club Soccer’s two
Teams O-55s and O-62s
played great in the 47th Annual Memorial Day Wanderpokal Tournament in Stockton, California.
On Saturday, May 25, the O-62’s beat
Real Marin 2-1, and lost to Vancouver Alemania 3-2. To make the Final,
Phoenix 62’s had to win Sunday’s first
game by 3 goals, and not allow any.
They did just that by blanking Conejo 3 to 0. The other Finalist was Alemania which had beat Phoenix in the
first round 3 to 2. Our 62’s, instead
of playing hard for Revenge, lost the
teamwork, composure and Championship to Alemania by a score of 4
to 2. Udo Helferich and Al Ortega,
forwards, produced most of the goals
for our Team. Our 62’s brought home
the
Runner-Up
Trophy for second
place.
The Phoenix Club
O-55’s, a more refined and cohesive
Team, made it to
the Final by brushing aside Real Marin
by blanking them 3
to 0; beating Turn
Verein 2-0, beating Los Angeles S.C.
4 to 2, and blanking Juventis by a
score of 4 to 0.
In the Final our 55’s took on a more
determined Turn Verein, bent on revenge. They scored on Phoenix in
the Final, but Turn Verein could not
withstand the ensuing constant pressure from our determined Team, and
finally succumbed to
two goals by our forward Roger assisted
by Fregoso, and Defender/Captain Joe
