ESB “TRUST” Dinner: Chef Robin Goldstein!
We are excited to feature Chef Robin for the 1st Trust Dinner of 2022.
Known for her vibrant, Mediterranean flavors with influence from Greece, Morocco, and Spain, Chef Robin’s cuisine will highlight the bounty of the Central Coast and deliciously prepared seafood and poultry. Robin lived in the Andalusian region of Spain for 5 years, and traveled extensively throughout Eruope. She will share stories and dishes from her travels, and create a multi-course meal inspired by her love of local produce and Mediterranean fare. This event is BYOB, and will be held outdoors. In addition, ESB will provide a welcome beverage and wine pairing for the first course! Join us as we continue to celebrate talented and passionate chefs though this unique and beloved ESB Dinner Series!
The Cuisine…
At this 4-Course Dinner, guests will experience Chef Robin’s cuisine, which is crafted with her love of full flavors, diverse spice blends, herbs, rubs, and sauces, all while maintaining a perfect balance of ingredients. Her inspiration comes from her travels, seasonal produce, and culinary training at the CIA in New York, and of course, European traditions. From grilled vegetables, to cured seafood, to Moroccan Tagines, Chef Robin’s food is always full of diversity and color! Dietary Restrictions and Substitutions are politely declined. 
What is a “Trust” Dinner?
A trust dinner is an upscale multi-course meal (4+ Courses), where guests put their trust into the Chef, who will be preparing a one of a kind dinner revealed upon arrival! Why no menu in advance? Because: #1.) we like to surprise our guests, and #2.) we want to remove any pre-conceived notions regarding what the dishes will taste like, or look like. This is part of the experience, and part of the fun.
What we can tell you is that the food will be fantastic. We are featuring only chefs who have inspired us, who have shown great passion and remarkable skill and pedigree; chefs who have a distinctive culinary voice. The team at Epicurean Santa Barbara will know the menu in advance, so we can answer any questions regarding the dinner.
The Trust dinner is BYOB. You heard us right! In the event reminder, we will offer wine pairing suggestions for the dinner, and you are welcome to bring whatever bottles (or spirits) you see fit!
