Bob's Well Bread is my favorite, in fact obligatory, stop on US 101 between Santa Barbara and San Louis Obispo - a fresh loaf or three of bread and a delicious cappuccino made in the old copper machine plus a quick hello to Bob and Jane. Bob had been a very successful producer of the TV show "Jeopardy", from which he gained an appetite for a life more connected to the land. Opening the bakery in 2014, Bob soon gained a devoted following for his commitment to fine bread as a life experience. "Bob's Well Bread Cafe" quickly became a gathering point along us 101 and drove a revitalization of the town of los Alomos, California.

Root 246 was, for a few years, one of the prime dining experiences in the Santa Ynez Velley. As part of the Chumash Band Casino enterprise, Root 246 was a showpiece attracting big spenders with 3" steaks and poached salmon, all exquisitely cooked to order and served with ranch feast panache. I had the priviledge of photographing (and eating) from a private chef's table in the kitcen, from which I was able to capture the essence of this quitely frantic temple of big plates.
