Hamburgers

The sausagefest gang and I have been talking about having a beef grinding meetup for a while. It was inspired by a desire to make our own burgers from scratch, and by a limited resource of time, since making sausages does take up a whole evening. We also realized that time was even more limited [...]

Santa Barbara Farmers’ Market

Lovely and delicious Thomspon seedless grapes. All this for about $2, from the Saturday morning market! I snacked on them all week. Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market www.sbfarmersmarket.org

Su Casa Fresh Mexican Grill

TACOS!! A friend passed along an enthusiastic heads up that Su Casa was now his favorite taqueria, thanks in part to new lower prices on their tacos. They’re now $1.50 each. Check out their big announcement! Ok, so the poster may have been done by a nonprofessional poster-maker, and it’ll probably fall off the wall [...]

SB gastronomic culture

A quartet of foodiness in Santa Barbara. A latest issue of Edible Santa Barbara, the latest BYOB Wine and Dine dinner at Spiritland Bistro, a flyer for Municipal Winemakers, who offer free delivery to those who cycle to their shop, and finally, a Strawberry Blush cupcake from Crushcakes, which I got for freeeee by warbling [...]

Square One (closed)

There are more restaurants on this foodie block of Cota Street than all the other businesses combined; I haven’t even been to them all. But I’ve been going to Square One since it opened for dinner service several years ago. When I first started attending First Thursdays downtown, this was my last stop of the [...]

Square One (closed)

This meal was one where I had to stake my reputation on it, and it made me quite nervous. I contacted the chef and the owner beforehand to make sure things would be alright. And it was! The only thing glitch was that I didn’t bring my good camera. But that wasn’t the point. The [...]

Fess Parker’s Double Tree Resort

Leave it to the Californians to provide a breaktime snack at a corporate business conference with wheatgrass juice. Tasted like motor oil. Sorry guys, this stuff needs to be fresh to be good! Fess Parker 633 East Cabrillo Boulevard Santa Barbara, CA 93103 www.fessparkersantabarbarahotel.com

Arigato

I went to Arigato with two acquaintances. One’s Cynthia, a former Santa Barbara resident, and whenever she comes through town she must have two things: the fresh tortillas from a taqueria on Milpas, and the sushi from Arigato. We went on a Monday evening (kudos for actually being open on a Monday when so many [...]

Bread and Roses

The friend I brought to Bread and Roses said, “this is the perfect event to have won Edhat tickets for, huh.” Maybe! There was certainly yummy food to sample, and lots of food and kitchen related items available on auction. Bread and Roses is an annual fundraiser put on by the Fund for Santa Barbara. [...]

Taqueria el Buen Gusto

One of the last taquerias on Milpas I had left to visit! This one, for whatever reason, wasn’t high on my list to visit. Maybe because I knew, back in the day, it was the building for a Weinerschnitzel. Or none of my friends particularly gushed about it. But I needed to go in order [...]
