Rodney Worth, the chef known for his slow-braised lamb shank at Danville's The Peasant & the Pear, is opening a new restaurant in Walnut Creek called The Little Pear. The location at 1699 North California Blvd. is right by BART and should appeal to commuters wanting a quick bite and those who prefer to sit for a while. "The concept is to be a neighborhood bistro with great specials, happy hours, always having multiple soups, etc.," says Worth. The menu just got posted and includes starters like cast-iron Mexican white prawns in butter-chardonnay sauce, beer-battered broccoli with buttermilk ranch and cheddar fondue with pear.

Chef Rodney Worth says he is in survival mode as he defies California outdoor dining bans that are devastating small businesses.
A California restaurant owner is fighting back against tough coronavirus restrictions that could put him out of business, for good.
Chef Rodney Worth owns two restaurants in Northern California, The Peasant and the Pear and The Peasant’s Courtyard. Rodney told America’s Newsroom on Friday his restaurants are in jeopardy of being shuttered and that he feels villainized. We’re in survival mode right now, trying to stay afloat, Worth said. We don t know what to do. We ve done everything they ve said to do and people have got tents, thousands of dollars on tents, we have outside dining, the best sanitizer, we have training. We are dying the death of a thousand cuts right now.
