SPRING/SUMMER 2017

oldfields, poppies, and lupine are carpeting hillsides with fresh spring cheer. It makes you yearn for a seat outside, a cold beer, and some farmto-table nibbles. The annual Spring/ Summer Menus can take you to that special spot and further, if you open it up and take a peek. Find out how the Madonna Inn, Mason Bar, and Thomas Hill Organics bring you the local and the fresh, potentially coupled with a cocktail, to satisfy that yearning for summer freedom.

If you’re looking for quick and tasty, read about what’s happening at Brooks Brothers burgers and Blaze Fast Fire’d Pizzas. Or, if you simply want to bask in the glory of the sun with an adult beverage made on-site, read about what’s new at Opolo Vineyards and what’s sizzling at the new SLO Brew Rock. 2

Peak Season Pleasure

By Hayley Thomas

O

ne bite, and bam! An encounter with a fresh, peak season carrot has drastically changed your world, your outlook, and your taste buds.

Eight years ago, Thomas Hill Organic Kitchen’s Debbie Thomas vowed to take on a hefty goal: To only use fresh, local, and organic ingredients in her Paso Robles restaurant. Who could have predicted that a simple, green dream could evolve into a true Central Coast dining phenomenon?

“It wasn’t the easiest way to do things, but it worked for us, and our customers really gravitated toward the approach,” Thomas said.

This commitment to creating “beyond farm-to-table” flavors has certainly paid off for THO, which now boasts a second location— above Williams-Sonoma in the heart of downtown San Luis Obispo. Since opening last fall, the newly remodeled hangout has gained a reputation as ground zero for ever-changing seasonal entrees, artisanal apps, herbaceous cocktails, and an extensive wine list that spans Paso Robles, Edna Valley, and the globe.

With exposed brick, gleaming

white tile, and dangling chandeliers, the modern-yet-rustic interior is both inviting and calming.

Here, the focus is always on the conversation around you and the joy of sharing succulent flavors.

Each plate—an earthy work of art, to be sure—is expertly crafted by chef Elijah Blackburn, formerly of SLO Provisions. Be prepared for vibrant pops of color; crisp greens; and sustainable beef, fish, and chicken so flavorful, you’ll want to know which farm it came from.

With a well-stocked wine lounge and breezy patio, the original Paso Robles location headed by chef Justin Casey (formerly of Granada Bistro) continues the tradition that began nearly a decade ago.

If you haven’t tried Thomas Hill Organics’ perfectly charred and crisp wood-fired pizzas, you need to make a date for the SLO locale stat.

“Our fresh thin crust pizzas are great for spring and summer, as there’s a never ending abundance of fresh produce to top each slice with,” Thomas said.

Just like touring local wildflowers or hitting the beach, your spring bucket list is incomplete without a stop at SLO’s freshest hot spot. 2

F E AT U R E D R E S T AU R A N T Brook s Burgers

Enjoy a local, casual cafe that believes in wholesome food made with fresh ingredients, along with a feeling of being at home.

Pismo’s New Burger

By Hayley Thomas

B

rooks Burgers isn’t just another burger joint. The Brooks family knows the food industry intimately: they’ve been in the restaurant and cattle business for more than four decades.

From great grandpa “Hervey” T. Brooks (the cattleman) to grandpa “Chic” T. Brooks (the business visionary) to Randy T. Brooks (restaurateur), and now Luke T. Brooks (the burger boss), Brooks Burgers brings four generations of expertise to the table. Oh, and that expertise tastes oh so good.

Owned by Deborah and Randy Brooks and their son Luke, the restaurant opened last October with a fast-casual vibe that gets you from hungry to satisfied in no time flat.

“We offer gourmet, craveable burgers and local craft beer at a fast pace,” Deborah said. “The restaurant is casual and family friendly with décor that features a rustic edginess. We want to create a local hangout where everyone feels at home.”

Here, fresh USDA all natural beef burger patties are served up hot with locally-sourced lettuce, tomato, caramelized red onion, and the family’s famous “boss” sauce. Top it all off with a choice of brioche bun, local 805 sourdough, or a crunchy lettuce wrap.

“If you’re not into burgers, we’ve got you covered,” said Deborah.

“The portobello mushroom burger is amazing for vegetarians, and I just love it any time of the day; it’s caramelized with balsamic vinegar and topped with onions and Colby-Jack cheese.

The chicken sandwich is another

great alternative, and we have a killer salad, too. We’re partnering with local businesses to offer local, fresh choices.”

Meat eaters, of course, will rejoice in beefy deliciousness of all ilk. The California Kid features avocado, bacon, Colby-Jack cheese, and roasted jalapeño with cool ranch dressing while the “Brooksy” BBQ is topped with a fried onion stack, applewood bacon, ColbyJack, and tangy barbecue sauce. Other options include a Hawaiian burger with pineapple, and a burger topped with mushrooms and Havarti.

A rotating selection of local craft beers, fine wines, and seasonal delights will be offered up all year long, making Brooks the perfect place to watch the game or kick back with friends. The party goes to a good cause: 10 percent of all profits go back to the Pismo Beach community, with a different charity benefitting each quarter.

“Homelessness is a huge cause we are looking at this year, and we plan to support schools and fire departments through fundraising efforts,” Deborah said. “We welcome folks to reach out and let us know what the needs are.”

Of course, it all comes back to family and the beef industry that started it all.

“We’ve raised and produced some of the finest beef cattle in the land, and with our newest venture, Brooks Burgers, we’ll be serving a premium burger for a great price,” Randy Brooks said. “Our burgers stand out from the crowd for a reason.”

Hours are Monday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Many Experiences, One Palace

By Hayley Thomas Cain

U

nder the Madonna Inn’s shimmering pink roof, many experiences await. Sit at the Silver Bar Cocktail Lounge’s bar and nosh on a small plate of avocado toast paired with an expertly crafted adult beverage, or enjoy a steak dinner with all the fixings in the Gold Rush Steak House. In the mood for a killer pancake breakfast, epic burger, or slice of famous pink Champagne cake? Stop by the world famous Copper Cafe, where glass displays are always stocked with wondrous confections and sweet treats. It seems that no matter what your mood, the Madonna Inn is calling.

You already know that San Luis Obispo is one of the best places to enjoy a range of craft beers, but did you know that the Madonna Inn is ground zero for discovering cool local brews?

In addition to hosting various food, wine, and beer festivals in Madonna Meadows, the inn now features unique craft beers in the bottle at the Silver Bar Cocktail Lounge, including Figueroa Mountain Lizard’s Mouth Imperial IPA, brewed in Buellton. Also available: Founders Rübæus, a raspberry ale that happens to compliment the Madonna Inn’s fabulous pinker-than-pink theme.

“We are excited to carry Chimay Bleue (Grande Reserve) which is a Trappist brewery, meaning it’s one of the last 11 breweries in the world still brewed in a monastery by monks,” said Jimmy Berlow, Madonna Inn bar manager and a Level 1 Cicerone.

Of course, there’s no outshining the longstanding star of the bar: Madonna Inn’s signature cocktails. Berlow and his team of highly trained bartenders are always coming up with new twists on old classics as well as totally inventive nightly specials. You can bet that every highball, martini, or tumbler is filled with the freshest ingredients, too.

“We are hyper local, using ingredients like mint and Meyer lemons found on the ranch. Plus, we always make all of our own house-made syrups from scratch,” Berlow said.

As you already know, Madonna Inn’s decor is always celebratory, seasonal, and fun. The inn’s drink menu—whether featuring a holiday drink with chocolate and mint or an over-the-top Easter Peep-Tini—is always full of surprises.

To complement these festive drinks, Madonna Inn has also rolled out a line up of savory appetizers, like Hearty Pick ‘n’ Shovel Sliders, served on a house made bun with brie cheese and a garlic aioli sauce. You might work up an appetite after dancing to the inn’s nightly live music, which fills the ballroom with excitement and energy.

Why not order up a plate of truffle fingerling potatoes, portobello fries, avocado toast, or an artisan cheese plate for the table?

“The bar and kitchen are very similar in philosophy: We don’t take any short cuts because we want everything to taste the best it possibly can,” Berlow said. 2

T

hese days, everyone’s trying to jump on the “fresh” bandwagon, but Blaze FastFire’d Pizza is actually putting its freshness where your mouth is.

Santa Maria and SLO’s newest fast-casual artisanal pizza joint is intent on “keeping it real” in a way that you can truly see and taste.

From the light, crisp crust to the crunchy veggies and sizzling meats on top, this is pizza made faster— and fresher—than you’ve had in recent memory.

Each pizza is crafted from high quality dough made from scratch daily using a recipe developed by critically acclaimed Executive Chef Bradford Kent, aka, the “Pizza Whisperer.” Pies are prepared without nitrates, preservatives, or artificial colors, and that’s no gimmick.

“We aim to serve up artisanal pizzas that are both fast and affordable,” said Mitch Wolf, a partner in the two local locations.

“We use the highest ingredients possible, which we believe translates into the highest quality pizza.”

Since its first restaurant debuted in 2012, Blaze has grown in popularity, with fans lining up each day for the custom-built pizzas, freshly-made salads, blood orange lemonade, Natural Sky Beverages, s’more pies, brownies, and sea salt chocolate chip cookies.

## 3 Chronic Cellars

## 4 Eberle Winery

The concept of Chronic Cellars came about during the harvest in 2004. We had used the term “The Chronic” to describe likable objects before, but we had never considered it a suitable descriptor for wine. One evening we laughed about the idea of a wine that targeted a casual lifestyle.

From dream to reality, our fi rst wines went public in 2008. Stop by and try our handcrafted wines in a fun and casual atmosphere.

A top ten gold medal award-winning winery in the U.S.A. Enjoy complimentary cave tours and tastings. Visit us and celebrate 38 years of fine winemaking in Paso Robles!

## 5 J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines

## 6 Penman Springs Vineyard

In 1988, perfect climatic conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon led Jerry Lohr to Paso Robles, where his estate vineyards now encompass over 2,300 acres of Bordeaux and Rhône reds. The J. Lohr Paso Robles Wine Center, a facility certified by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance, pours daily from four award-winning tiers of estates-driven, vineyard-focused wines including J. Lohr Estates, the Vineyard Series, the Cuvée Series and the Rhône-inspired Gesture series.

Penman Springs is a peaceful destination where guests may enjoy spectacular views of the vineyards and the stunning large oak trees. Inside the tasting room, visitors are welcomed with warm hospitality from knowledgeable staff. Tasting through the line of estate wines takes the palate from dry white to refreshing rosé and then into the bold reds for which the winery is known. The tasting ends on a sweet note with a dessert wine.

Great Times, Award Winning Wines nearly 10 degrees cooler than its east side counterpart, with a crisp ocean breeze that creates a cooling effect on the grapes. This allows Opolo to produce typically cooler-climate wines such as pinot noir and roussanne. In contrast, the east side vineyards are arid, providing the ideal climate for varietals such as cabernet sauvignon and zinfandel, Opolo’s flagship varietal.

Because of the ranging terroir, Opolo specializes in unique single varietals and strikingly creative blends.

Not only home to delectable wines, Opolo Vineyards has become home to special events. Most notably, the annual harvest festival held the third week in October, where guests throw caution to the wind and stomp grapes with bare feet overlooking acres of vines and enjoy free-flowing wine, a delicious dinner, and Serbian entertainment. While the options range from quintessential vineyard weddings, exclusive winemaker’s dinners, and cheerful wine club pick-up parties, new events like the upcoming Port and Rose Release Party (April 1) and Sunset Crab Feed (April 22) are increasing opportunities to experience Opolo’s lively personality beyond the tasting room.

o visit Opolo Vineyards is to take a step into an unforgettable experience.

After an idyllic drive through vineyards and beautiful countryside, guests are welcomed into a tasting room full of culture and tradition, with an equally present sense of uniqueness and individuality.

As a nod to co-owner Rick Quinn’s Serbian heritage, the name Opolo stems from a rose discovered on the Dalmatian Coast. Co-owners Quinn and Dave Nichols bottled their first vintage in 1999, opening the tasting room in 2001. The Opolo team strives to maintain a welcoming atmosphere that encourages guests to embark on a casual and genuine tasting experience. The perfect pairing of knowledgeable, passionate attendants and approachable wines proves that wine tasting can be engaging and enchanting in the same sitting. Opolo weaves its old world tradition with day-to-day happenings by serving homemade Balkan sausage, or cevapi, on artisan wood-fired pizza expertly paired with a glass of wine and vineyard views.

Claiming nearly 300 acres of vines on the east and west sides of Paso Robles, Opolo Vineyards is privy to a wide range of climate, soil, and growing potential—allowing more than 32 varietals to flourish. The west side vineyard is located in the Willow Creek AVA, offering temperatures

Meet You at The Rock

By Hayley Thomas Cain

A

new addition to the Central Coast’s iconic Seven Sisters range has popped up on Broad Street, near the SLO County Regional Airport. Whether you’re a hardcore beer geek looking for a f light of craft beers or simply looking to grab a bite and soak up some sunshine, SLO Brew Rock brewery and taproom has all the bases covered.

Named for the prominent volcanic rock formation that anchors the location, SLO Brew’s expansion features a state-ofthe-art brewing facility with a 30-barrel Criveller brewhouse and canning line. Already available in 12-ounce cans and on tap at grocers, restaurants, and bars throughout the Central Coast, SLO Brew plans to increase distribution of its most popular brews.

The centerpiece of “The Rock ” taproom restaurant is the rotisserie Oyler pit smoker, considered by many barbecue

af icionados as the f inest barbecue pit in the world. Meats are slowly cooked over locally sourced red oak and apple wood for a distinct smokehouse f lavor.

Grab a bite and sip on a long lineup of award-winning craft beers in the spacious tasting room with rollup doors open to the patio and beer garden.

The outdoor patio is centered against “The Rock,” creating a dramatic backdrop for a stage and a memorable location for special events, weddings, parties, and live music. To add to the sense of play, a variety of yard games and activities are offered throughout the outdoor space, including ping pong and giant Jenga.

“Our vision is that The Rock will provide a friendly, laid back environment that ref lects the SLO attitude,” co-owner Rodney Cegelski said. “We want it to be about pure fun and enjoyment, where people will feel comfortable bringing their families.” 2
