Creekside pig roast

Westin of Spare Parts, and Al from Events Untitled (Red Star?) paired up at the Creek Side to roast a whole pig. Check out the cool old grill of Creek Side’s, which they rolled out into the parking lot for the roast. There were plenty of hungry diners inside the bar, who were having a [...]

La Tour at The Pub – Funkzone

Remember how The Pub was zoned on one side of 224 Helena Street, while La Tour was on the other side? There were two separate bar tabs depending on which business provided which product. Cocktails, beer, food came from The Pub. Wine, or most of it, came from La Tour, and the food came from [...]

Rudy’s Restaurant – Goleta

This was a very opportunistic visit, and I was caught without my good camera, or even my average camera. All camera phone, so sorry about the crummy pictures. Still! Rudy’s has moved into a bigger space in that fine stripmall known as the Calle Real Shopping Center. Just next door to a shop I was [...]

Meat n’ Potatoes

I was sitting at a popular blue-collar bar a couple weeks ago, and the friendly woman next to me started chatting about food. She mentioned that the restaurant spot next to the Creekside (RIP JR’s BBQ I still miss you!!) was soon going to reopen, and the place would be called Meat n’ Potatoes, with [...]

Sly’s – Carpinteria

Roadtrip with Gordon! We were en route to Los Angeles, and had our lunch pitstop in Carpinteria, at Sly’s. Goal: to try the Whiskey Cocktail and profiteroles. Gordon took photos of the menu, which I am grateful for. Instant reference. Check out the classic cocktails, and their great prices. Negroni, Manhattan, Moscow Mule, it’s all [...]

Margerum Tasting Room

Sunday afternoon Sue and I swung by the Margerum Tasting Room, adjacent to the Wine Cask. She had her wine club selections to pick up, and members + guest get tastings in the room included in the membership. Margerum has nothing to fear of me drinking them dry, I’m such a lightweight, I pretty much [...]

La Tour Wine Merchants

This evening’s special La Tour friend is Jonah. I love bringing people here for the first time! He’d swung by the 515 project site, I was there and hungry, so we went off in search of food. It’s a slight challenge, as it was past 9 pm and most places still open was primarily greasy [...]

Local trio

How to please a Santa Barbara gal like me: * fine weather * good company * baguette from Our Daily Bread * double gouda from C’est Cheese * a glass of Pale Pink * sitting on the deck of Municipal Winemakers.

First Thursday

It’s time to start off-loading old routines and making new ones. With the passing of an old friend – my First Thursday tradition of getting dessert at a little restaurant that has now closed – I had to begin looking for a new one. There are many places I enjoy grabbing a small plate or [...]

Sly’s – Carpinteria

Burgers seem to be the benchmark of rating American restaurants. Maybe that’s because it’s such an approachable item on the menu. The price is usually moderate, usually everyone’s had a burger sometime in their past to form a judgment of what they like or dislike about a burger, and it’s offered on nearly every menu [...]
