When I developed this season of California and Central Coast legends, I came across an article about sommelier and farmer Rajat Parr. It was written by Esther Mobley, the senior wine critic for the San Francisco Chronicle. She called him one of the wine industry’s biggest celebrities and California’s most influential sommelier—and she’s certainly not the only one. Rajat Parr is an absolute giant of the wine world, having worked as a sommelier for restaurateur Michael Mina for many years in San Francisco, and co-authoring two very important books: Secrets of the Sommeliers and The Sommelier’s Atlas of Taste. So imagine my surprise when he instantly accepted my email request for an interview. Since moving away from the sommelier and restaurant world, he has taken up as a farmer and winemaker in Cambria at Phelan Farm, Stolo Vineyard, Domaine de la Cote, and Sandhi Wines. We talked about his upbringing in Calcutta, his original goal to become a chef, the way he risked it all to move to San Francisco, and his legendary and well-documented blind-tasting abilities.

There are few businesses I’d travel multiple hours to visit, but Russian River Brewing is one of them—and I am most certainly not alone. Vinnie and Natalie Cilurzo are the minds behind Pliny the Younger, one of the culty-est brews in the world, and one that is only available for a short time each spring. The brewery only makes a certain amount of this perfectly-balanced triple IPA, and only sells it for two weeks in March. People from around the globe line up outside their two locations to wait for the doors to open, and the economic impact on Sonoma County stands at $6.1 million, just for Pliny the Younger week. We talked about Vinnie growing up in a pioneering Temecula winery, how they met when Natalie bought booze for an underaged Vinnie, and the terror they felt that first time Pliny caught the world’s attention. I drove to their second location in Windsor for the day to hang out and chat, and the nine hours I spent driving were absolutely worth it.

The concept of fresh, local, seasonal ingredients in restaurants is one most Californians are very familiar with, but in 1985, it was pretty radical. Fortunately for those of us who dine at Robin’s in Cambria, Novo and Luna Red restaurants in San Luis Obispo, owners Robin Covey and Shanny Covey didn’t know any better: it’s just the way they liked to eat. Over time they formed a shared company called the Blue Mango Restaurant Group that operates these three beloved restaurants, keeping the mandate for fresh, local and seasonal ingredients front and center at all times, and inspiring other restaurants to do the same. They’ve managed to do this through the outrageous challenges of restaurant ownership, as well as through divorcing but remaining business partners. So many of us consider these restaurants a forever-part of the local culinary landscape, and we have their creative thinking and acumen to thank.

When you think of wineries that really changed the game in California, Tablas Creek Vineyard should be one of the first to come to mind. A partnership between a wine importer, Robert Haas, and winegrowers in the south of France, Jean-Pierre Perrin and Francois Perrin, Tablas Creek has been a pioneering producer of Rhone-varietal wines in Paso Robles since it opened in 1989. I spoke with Jason Haas, the second-generation proprietor of Tablas Creek Vineyard who has continued the work set out by his father and the Perrin family: to establish Paso Robles as a premier appellation for Rhone varieties, and to do so with rigorous attention to sustainability and regenerative agriculture. In these ways, Tablas Creek has been one of the first if not the very first to approach winemaking this way in Paso Robles, and well ahead of their time. Jason and I talk about his beginnings in the tech industry, his affection for ultimate frisbee, and the accolades he’s won for his writing on the Tablas Creek blog at tablascreek.typepad.com.

If you don’t recognize the name Susie Righetti, you might recognize her two iconic businesses: she is the founder of Susie Q Brand, a purveyor of Santa Maria Style barbecue seasonings, pinquito beans, salsas and jerky; and along with her family members, she is co-owner of the Far Western Tavern in Santa Maria. I chose Susie as one of this season’s legends because she grew up hanging out in the Far Western’s dining room and kitchens, and she knows both Santa Maria and barbecue. Also, family lore says that her family line dates back to the De Anza Expedition along the California coastline and predates the Declaration of Independence—if that doesn’t make her a legend, I don’t know what does. We talked about what makes Santa Maria Style Barbecue different, important, and delicious, and we discussed the evolution of the Far Western Tavern, too, which moved from its original building in Guadalupe to its new location in Orcutt just a few years ago.

The Madonna Inn is a California icon for many reasons, most famous of which might be its embrace of the color pink: pink walls, pink goblets, pink carpet—even pink tennis courts and pink lamp posts. Who made the decision to go pink? That would be Mrs. Phyllis Madonna, who co-founded the hotel and restaurant with her late husband Alex Madonna, a successful businessman, developer and contractor. Their over-the-top aesthetic and unique interpretation of luxury turned the inn into a destination for travelers driving Highway 101 through San Luis Obispo—and over the years, a whole new generation has adopted the Madonna Inn as its own. (Just search up “Madonna Inn” on Instagram and brace for impact.) But it isn’t just tourists who love the inn: we locals love it too, and have been known to argue about which is better: the Pink Champagne Cake or the Black Forest Cake. Interestingly, when I sat down with Marketing Director and longtime assistant to Mrs. Madonna, Amanda Rich, she spoke mostly about Mrs. Madonna’s Cheese Pie (whose recipe I share below) and her own favorite dessert, which I guarantee isn’t one you would guess.

Fritos were born in 1932. Same for Lay’s Potato Chips. Cheetos came on the scene in 1948, and Doritos in 1966. And then, in 1976, riding high on the snack wave, Taco Works Tortilla Chips arrived in San Luis Obispo, California. These crunchy, crispy chips originated with Ty Bayly at his Foothill Boulevard Mexican restaurant of the same name. But whereas the restaurant closed, the chips grew more and more famous for their light texture and signature seasoning. Today, Ty’s son Robbie Bayly runs the operation, and joined me to share the story behind these rather addictive snacks, the changes they’ve had to make over the years, and the letters and comments that Taco Works receives about their product.

Someone once called Chuck Hiigel the godfather of Central Coast beer, but I would go as far as to say that, in many ways, he is the godfather of beer across the state of California. What began as an obsessive side project to studying architecture at Cal Poly has since comprised a life and career that celebrates the art and craft of brewing, from managing the iconic Spike’s Pub in the San Luis Obispo Creamery—a business that has since closed but will forever have a place in the hearts of beer lovers everywhere—and convening the California Festival of Beers, to bringing his special brand of education and beer hospitality to the famous Transitions Beer Dinner, San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, and local NPR affiliate, KCBX. I know Chuck as a beer man about town, but we also sing in the San Luis Obispo Master Chorale, so there is discussion about the similarities of classical music and beer that I like to believe will delight fans of either, both, or neither.…

Dennis and his wife Kasey own Kehoe Carbon Cookware, based out of their home in Los Osos. I first discovered his work on Instagram, where I completely fell for the beauty and durability of the pans Dennis made.

In the middle of Covid, in a not-so-obvious part of San Luis Obispo, a pizza place called My Friend Mike’s opened up. In its history, the building off Broad Street had been a Lemos Feed & Pet Supply, as well as a tire shop. The windows are also mirrored so you can’t see in, but when I walked inside to pick up a couple beautiful pizzas made by Mike Radakovich and his team, I was surprised at how warm and inviting the interior is. It feels kind of like a clubhouse with excellent wood-fired pizza and a killer international wine list. So I asked Mike on the podcast, and because it’s tiny San Luis Obispo, we know pretty much all the same people. So, warning: this episode bandies about lots of names of folks you may or may not know.

In 2014, Lynette Sonne founded FarmsteadEd, an organization whose goal is not just to get people to buy locally made products, but to see the small farms and ranches where the goods are grown and made. This is what’s called “agritourism,” and it has its spiritual home in Italy, where staying overnight on a farm and experiencing its culture up close bonds visitors to the work being done there in a special way. I had met Lynette several times in the past, and knew that FarmsteadEd had developed a SLO County Farm Trail for visitors to use, but I really saw her efforts up close during the 2023 Open Farm Day, wherein small family farms along the trail opened their gates to the public. That day, my son and I made tea in the garden at Niner Wine Estates, tasted olive oil at Olea Farm, learned about the honey-collecting process at Sierra Honey Farm, and swooned over lavender at Hambly Lavender Farm.

At Beerwood in Los Osos, Chef Jess Saddoff-Bauer and owner Annie Steinmann work hard to offer a family-friendly space and an elevated brewpub experience. I came to know Beerwood through gorgeous pictures of Chef Jess’s charcuterie platters, so imagine my delight when she brought one to the house for our interview! I learned a lot about her background, which includes fighting her way into sushi kitchens to learn the craft and become a well-respected sushi chef. (I suspect it also explains why the charcuterie boards are so precise, colorful, and beautiful. That level of care and skill doesn’t just happen.) I learned a lot about Annie too, how she worked in a previous iteration of the business and how she, her husband, and her friends really wanted to see the space thrive. We also talked about the brewpub’s support of the LGBTQ community and how relationships are everything in Los Osos-Baywood Park. Here are Chef Jess Saddoff-Bauer and Annie Steinmann of Beerwood.

Becoming a food writer tends to be a try-and-see-what-sticks process. Last time I checked, you can’t major in food writing in college, so most folks who want to pursue that line of work need to either make it up as they go along or attach themselves to a knowledgeable mentor. For my part, I’ve done both, and the latter I’ve done with Dianne Jacob, an award-winning food writer, cookbook author, and writing teacher based in the Bay Area. I’ve hired Dianne to help with magazine pitches and book proposals, but I’ve also benefited greatly from her book “Will Write For Food,” a guide to the food writing industry that’s now in its fourth printing. Ask any food writer, and they’ll tell you this is the gold standard for food writing, so I was delighted when Dianne agreed to come on the podcast. You’ll love her expertise, stories, and advice in this interview that I recorded in her home in San Leandro. I encourage you to sign up for her newsletter on Substack by the way, if you love good food writing and want to find more of it.

Alexandra Wallace is a photographer who captures weddings, portraits, and editorial photos for a living. If you’ve ever been to the Consumed website at letsgetconsumed.com, you’ll see the generous shots she’s taken of me, too. She’s also a born creative, having helmed Coyote and Oak Magazine and associate producing the podcast Your Own Backyard about the disappearance of Kristin Smart. (Her partner, Chris Lambert, is the producer of that show, and he was on the Consumed podcast several months ago, too.) But when Alli isn’t shooting photos, making magazines or other kinds of media, she’s a pop culture junkie who’s willing to drive out-of-state to visit the last Blockbuster Video on earth, or research “theme park disasters” on Wikipedia. For this episode of Consumed, she surprised me with a Happy Meal to eat on the mic, just to see how I’d feel about it, as she mistakenly believes I have a highly refined palate. We talked about grief, Disneyland, cake, and more. Website: alexandra-wallace.com Instagram: @thelittlealli Cooking With Caleb on YouTube…

Ryan Deovlet is the winemaker behind Deovlet Wines, based out of San Luis Obispo, but with wines from the Santa Rita Hills, Happy Canyon, and other Santa Barbara County regions and vineyards. Perhaps most exciting right now is Ryan’s purchase of property off Los Osos Valley Road, formerly owned by grain farmer Larry Kandarian, who has been featured on this podcast, too. Ryan speaks about pioneering a new region, his Armenian roots, and his connection to the late, great Kobe Bryant. He also shared a bottle of his first wine, a 2008 Pinot Noir from La Encantada Vineyard. And yes, it was GORGEOUS. I don’t get to taste wines like that very often. Anyway, we spoke for about half the episode indoors, but we had to move outdoors because someone had to get into the house. No biggie, but you’ll notice a few leaf-blowers going when we move outside. Such is life. Website: deovletwines.com Instagram: @deovlet_wines…

This is a re-release of the first Consumed Live episode featuring three powerhouse brewers on California’s Central Coast. Listen in as I talk with Matt Brynildson, brewmaster at Firestone-Walker Brewing Company in Paso Robles, Buellton, and Venice Beach; Max Montgomery, brewmaster at There Does Not Exist in San Luis Obispo; and Jack Dyer, founder at Topa Topa Brewing Company in Ventura. These three brought lots of fun stories, insight, and humor to the table, and I’m so glad I recorded it. The event took place at There Does Not Exist on August 31, 2022. Enjoy!…

I didn’t realize it until just now, but I’ve known Michael and Sarah Cherney for years. Okay, I didn’t know-them know-them, but I definitely enjoyed their hospitality a few times at Sides’ Hardware and Shoes, the charming restaurant in Los Olivos where Michael was chef and Sarah worked front of house. The Cherneys have since started their own business called Peasant’s Feast in an iconic restaurant space in Solvang — a town known more for its aebleskivers and Christmas-all-year-round charm than for its cuisine. With the success of the restaurant, they’ve opened a beautiful second spot called Peasant’s Deli across the walkway. There’s also a fun little secret inside the deli worth exploring, but I’ll let them pique your interest. We talked about Michael’s veggie legs, Sarah’s theater background, and how deferred dreams led them right to the Peasant’s Feast’s door.

“Nature-positive” winemaking with Matt Trevisan at Linne Calodo Winery, Paso Robles 1:18:17

Matt Trevisan is the winemaker and owner at Linne Calodo Winery in Paso Robles, California. Along with his wife, Maureen, he has built the Willow Creek District-winery into a really special producer of Rhone-varietal blends and Zinfandel wines. And they’ve been at it for 25 years, constantly tweaking their process and pulling at the thread of what kind of winery and business they want to be. Over those years, Matt has been especially interested in pursuing a “nature-positive” model — one that forces farmers and winemakers to live “within the bounds of their land’s natural resources and rely on natural solutions and manual labor rather than chemicals and carbon-burning machines.” That’s actually a quote from Matt himself, and one worth mulling over in depth. Aside from wine, we discussed his obsession with flying, car racing with KCBX DJ Neal Losey, and the concept of “learn by failing.”…

Andrea Wasko and Meaghan Gilbert are the people behind the Quick Pickle Kit, which they call “the DIY pickling kit for people on a journey” — I love that. They started the company in 1996 with a couple goals. One, they wanted to give people a healthy and stress-free way to pickle fresh produce. Andrea’s mother was a pickler and would send jars of them to Andrea as a taste of home. And secondly, they wanted to give back to their community. Philanthropy is a massive reason the Quick Pickle Kit exists. Andrea and Meghan employ adults with disabilities and donate a portion of every sale to nonprofits — and they always have. Listen in as they talk about their backgrounds, their inspiration, and their passion for a crunchy pickle. Website: quickpicklekit.com Instagram: @quickpicklekit…

Paul Filice is the president of Miner’s Ace Hardware, a collection of nine “hardware stores” across the Central Coast. I put “hardware stores” in quotes because Miner’s is so much more than a hardware store, though that’s certainly how it began. In addition to all the usual stuff — hardware, tools, paint, etc — Miner’s has a wonderful housewares section featuring Traeger grills, Yeti coolers, Ball canning systems and more that I could spend all day exploring. It also has one of the best nursery departments in the business, which is our top choice for everything from seeds and veggie starts to the avocado tree, satsuma tree, and espalier apple tree in our front yard. It’s a family business: I grew up going to school with Amy Miner, Paul’s wife, so I’ve been able to watch it grow over the years. Listen to Paul tell stories about legendary employee Wally Lewis who retired at the age of 95, the man who drove a Harley directly into the Los Osos Miner’s and continued to shop on it, and about how the community knew COVID was over when the popcorn came back.

I’ve shared before that a loaf of rustic bread and a bottle of olive oil are pretty much all I need to be happy (oh, and a glass of Prosecco), so imagine my delight when the general manager of Pasolivo Olive Oil, Marisa Bloch Gaytan, came over to chat and taste through their many olive oil varieties. Marisa is a level-2 olive oil sommelier and Pasolivo’s master blender, so she knows a thing or two about liquid gold. We talked about how she transitioned from the wine business to the olive oil business, how she gets the basil olive oil to taste so fresh, and whether she can tell the variety of my olive tree, right outside the window.

Stephanie Killen is the Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner behind Sound Body Nutrition in San Luis Obispo, a service that works with women to resolve their health concerns using nutrition, lifestyle guidance and natural therapies. In addition to her training in functional nutritional therapy, she has a unique edge: a culinary school degree. Stephanie became interested in nutritional therapy when she sought help for her own severe hormonal imbalances. With her culinary experience, she was able to tailor a program of nutritional recovery that uses data from extensive lab testing to nourish her clients and restore digestive and hormonal balance. We used my own physical woes and imbalances as jumping-off points for her to share her expertise, which was kind of fun. Website: soundbodynutrition.com Instagram: @sound_body_nutrition Vitality Smoothie Recipe Stephanie recommends this smoothie for all her clients. She says “it’s great for breakfast as it is a balanced meal that promotes regularity, satiety, energy, balanced blood sugar, nourished adrenal glands, and digestion.” 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut water or regular filtered water 3/4 cup unsweetened almond, cashew, or coconut milk 1 scoop Ora Organics vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored protein powder 1 tablespoon organic hemp or chia seeds 1 tablespoon organic chia seeds 1/2 avocado 1/2 inch knob peeled ginger 1 tsp camu camu powder handful leafy greens Blitz everything together in a powerful blender.

Rusty Quirk is a chef and the owner of Linnaea’s Cafe in downtown San Luis Obispo. If you’ve spent any time in SLO since 1984, you probably remember the little cafe with the long walk to a leafy back patio with a koi pond. Linnaea’s is one of a rare breed of small, family-owned businesses in SLO that have retained their original charm for several decades. It’s a cozy, simple place where the focus falls more on fostering relationships and art than on getting esoteric with the coffee. And now with Rusty at the helm, it’s going to have even more delicious pastries, too. She has served as pastry chef at Hotel SLO, Bell’s in Los Alamos and Bar Le Cote in Los Olivos. (By the way, I butchered the pronunciation of that restaurant in our interview, and Rusty was gracious enough not to correct me. Anyway, mea culpa.) Here she talks about her experiences on the line in kitchens from New York to California, her background in graphic design, and how her musician husband is helping to boost the musical offerings at the cafe.

Annie Yu learned how to cook from her grandmother, who grew up near Canton, China. Her style of cooking included a lot of seafood, rice, and milder spices than Northern Szechuan cuisine. As the first American-born of seven siblings, Annie spent a lot of time in Chinatown in Boston, traveling to the markets with her grandmother. Today, Annie teaches Asian cooking in San Luis Obispo after many years in the world of corporate training. She shared with me her secrets for stir fry, which are fascinating, her dad’s one wish for his kids, and the reason she and her husband decided to move from the East Coast to San Luis Obispo.

John Quint (who pulls a JFK and also goes by Jack Quint) owns and operates Deltina Coffee Roasters, located in Oceano and, as of this summer, a location near Cal Poly on Taft Street in San Luis Obispo. As a native of Seattle and the nephew of a prominent master roaster, Jack comes by his coffee culture honestly. He started his career as a CPA specializing in international taxation, but when coffee became his true love, he made a plan to start a roastery. Why did he and his wife Jill — yes, Jack and Jill — why did they choose the little coastal town of Oceano to set down roots with their five kids? And why open a new spot? You’ll have to listen to find out. Oh, also, Jack sent me a few pounds of Deltina coffee and I am loving its French-Roasty style. Website: deltinacoffeeroasters.com Instagram: @deltinacoffee…

Josh and Lindsey Haring own The Mountain Air, a shop in downtown San Luis Obispo that sells outdoor gear like skis, sleeping bags, and hiking shoes. And because it’s summer, and because Josh and Lindsey have been dear friends of mine for years, I thought we could talk about eating and cooking on the trail or at the campground. Camping and backpacking food and gear has come a long way since I was a kid, and I wanted to share the Harings’ expertise with you, as well as their story. The Mountain Air opened in 1975, so there’s lots to cover. And yes, we talked about radishes, a vegetable that Josh believes shouldn’t be served at Halloween parties. You’ll understand why.
