Private dining and hospitality have always been our ”bread and butter”. However, it goes with out saying that our adventures are the true fuel for our passions. In order to truly convey the unique approach we take to food on the Central Coast and beyond, it is imperative to share how we spend our time spent away from the confines of the kitchen.

The act of harvesting anything edible is the primary facet to this aspect of our lives. This can mean a myriad of things. On the ocean, it’s fishing, diving, collecting at low tide etc. On land, it’s hiking, foraging, farming, hunting and gathering. Not only does this directly supply ingredients we utilize in our cooking, it’s also the primary source of inspiration when the time to comes to dream up dishes and menus. We let mother nature and seasonality dictate what we are going to cook and how we are going to pair flavors.

As the final step in the long line of food production, it’s imperative that we behave as proper stewards to the land that we reap such a bountiful reward from. We aim to get out and give back as much as possible to the surrounding land and waters of the central coast. This connection with the natural world is reflected in our food and the way we are able to tell our unique story of time and place.

While a quiet morning on the boat or a nice long walk in the woods can be extremely fulfilling both in your heart and your cooler, sometime we need to get our blood pumping. As veterans of professional restaurant culture, our need for adrenaline does’t elude us. Those high energy, fast paced, heart pounding moments of a restaurant kitchen are in the past and have since been replaced with a much more balanced and flexible lifestyle. We now spend our free time away from the world of food finding any way to get into the backcountry, go fast, and get a thrill outdoors.
