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.
