[SAVE THE DATE] ESB “TRUST” Dinner: Julian Martinez of Barbareño

April 13 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

ESB “TRUST” Dinner: Chef Julian Martinez 

Epicurean Santa Barbara welcomes Chef Julian Martinez of Barbareño to the TRUST Kitchen!

Executive Chef Julian Martinez vividly expresses time and place at Michelin-Plated Barbareño, drawing upon the history and traditions of California’s distinct Central Coast and the abundance of products available in one of the most fertile farming and viticulture regions in the United States.

Martinez samples ethnic influences and honed his culinary craft in Michelin-starred restaurants and food trucks. He has launched several innovative restaurant concepts and has turned Barbareño into one of Santa Barbara’s most beloved restaurants.

The Cuisine….

Chef Julian’s cuisine is  bold and flavorful, with vibrant plating detail and a touch of whimsy.  Much of the ingredients for the seasonal menu is sourced within Santa Barbara County; From smoked Santa Maria tri tip, which affords tenderness from slow-cooking, to quail legs fried with coffee and hickory, to grilled avocado and lamb pastor. The cuisine is truly Central Coast: a blend of California flavors, global influences, and farm (and ranch)-to-table inspired dishes.

What is a “Trust” Dinner?

A trust dinner is an upscale multi-course meal (5+ 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. Their biographies and the event description will provide sufficient details about the dinner; (for example: Mediterranean, Modern, or Vegetable-driven). The team at Epicurean Santa Barbara will know the menu in advance, so we can notify the chef of dietary restrictions, and 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!

As these are specialized menus, modifications are politely declined, but please include any serious food allergies in your registration notes. Non-member Registrations are Non-refundable.
