SBIFF Nomz – Harbor Restaurant

Tonight was the James Franco tribute, and the after party was at the Harbor Restaurant down on Stearn’s Wharf. Lots of local filmmakers and other contributors to the festival were spotted here. And the food? Good down and dirty party nosh. Complete posting and photos are posted on City2, who provided my press pass to [...]

Edible Institute Gala

It was an honor to attend the Edible Institute this year, held at the Hotel Mar Monte on Cabrillo.  Most of the attendees appeared to be a part of the Edible Community, or professionals in the industry in some way. I felt like one of the few enthusiasts in the crowd. But it was okay! [...]

Silvergreens – downtown

This is a followup to my post a few days earlier about Silvergreens’ Burger and Beer special. Before I’d gotten the avocado, sundried tomato burger. Today the Nymphaea gang and I tried some of the other burger selections. This is supposedly one of Silvergreens’ simpler burgers, the cheeseburger. BUT! There’s a choice of cheese and [...]

SBIFF Nomz – opening night

I’m pleased to announce that for the first time ever, I have a press pass to the Santa Barbara Film Festival! A local news aggregator and blogging site, City2, offered the space to me. My intent is to cover the local angle, such as businesses who sponsor the events (especially restaurants!) or films from local [...]

Cafe Luck

I have yet to actually eat a meal at Cafe Luck. Prior to tonight, it was just a cocktail there. And tonight, just dessert. I’m sorry! If I found myself in the area, I usually went to Square One. But I finally succumbed to the temptation of ice cream, due entirely to an inside scoop [...]

Silvergreens – downtown

Silvergreens is one of those places that I’d eaten at before and had the unfortunate experience of ordering the wrong thing. I’d gotten the “half and half” option of half a sandwich, with salad and cookie – which is actually good – but I picked the bread as baguette, convincing myself that something baked in-house [...]

just desserts

All hands at the company meeting. Breakfast and lunch included. All I got photos of was the desserts. It wasn’t so bad for convention food. Cheesecake and mini-mousse. File this under corporate.

Cafe Buenos Aires

This was supposed to be one of those working lunches, where we get together to get stuff done. However, the business partner I was supposed to be introduced to wasn’t there! So it became just regular lunch, and work got done back at the office. I’d been to Buenos Aires once before in semi-recent times. [...]

Kobachi Izakaya Dining

All through December, Kobachi was giving away coupons as Christmas gifts. Between two people, we’d collected about $15 in vouchers, so on this time we were in the mood for sashimi and thought we’d combine these, along with another $30 and request sashimi omakase. Ken-san was in, and agreed. First, though, some drinks and nibbles. [...]
