SUMMARY:Braise the Meat! with Chef Justin West
DESCRIPTION:Braise the Meat! with Chef Justin West\nIt is winter in Santa Barbara. It’s cold. There’s only one thing to do in this blustering 52 degree weather; and that is….Make a braise….A tender\, warm\, melt-in your mouth braise …The fork-tender meat\, sauce coating the spoon\, the warm aroma enveloping your kitchen…Nothing beats the comfort and flavor of a braise…So now is the time to learn from the best! \nChef Justin West\, formerly of Julienne\, certainly knows his way around a braise. He will showcase the technique\, from start to finish\, with a gorgeous beef short ribs sourced through Market Forager. \nAfter tasting the delicious meat and braising liquid\, Chef Justin will show you how to transform the braise into a Beef Khao Soi\, a wonderfully soulful and flavorful Thai dish served with noodles and vegetables. Guests will enjoy this wonderful dinner\, and then take home the leftovers for future meals! ….Paired wine will also be served! \nJoin us in preparing a wonderfully easy\, flavorful meal from scratch. You’ll learn how an epic braise and some vegetables\, noodles and a well set broth becomes something so simple but so good!! Learn all the secrets and chef’s tips\, so you too\, can apply this easy technique to your cooking.

SUMMARY:Dining at Bell's
DESCRIPTION:1-Star Michelin Dining Experience at Bell’s in Los Alamos!\nSeating is limited to 8 guests!\n\nJoin us for a 1-Star Michelin Dining Experience at Bell’s in Los Alamos!ESB members will be seated together in Bell’s heated outdoor\, covered patio. The pricing includes the 5-Course tasting menu (with multiple options)\, tax\, gratuity\, corkage\, and shared bottles from ESB’s Cellar! Guests are responsible for transportation to and from the restaurant\, additional beverages\, and supplemental charges (i.e. added caviar!) \nSimply make your way to the restaurant (carpool with friends!)\, and enjoy Chef Daisy Ryan’s Michelin starred Cuisine with fellow members and founders Amy Baer and Keith Robinson. If you are interested in sharing a ride or carpooling\, contact Amy. *Note: We will be adding events that day around this experience in the area\, stay tuned! \nClick Here For Menu\n\nBased in Los Alamos\, CA\, Bell’s is a family-run\, French-inspired bistro from Per Se alums Daisy and Greg Ryan. Since opening in March 2018\, they have received such accolades as Food & Wine Best New Chef\, Esquire’s Best New Restaurants\, and most recently the Michelin Guide\, with a 1-Star rating.\n \n\nMICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View\n\nThis invitingly rustic dining room is nestled within a historic structure—a former bank—with a blue door flanked by potted palms. Inside\, the furnishings exude a vintage vibe\, as evidenced by weathered tile floors\, whitewashed brick walls\, and metal signs. An open window offers a peek into the kitchen\, buzzing with casually dressed but attentive servers.\n\n\n\nAfter cutting their teeth at top NYC kitchens\, Daisy and Greg Ryan set sail for the west coast—settling into the confines of the Santa Ynez Valley. Dubbed as “Franch” (French with Californian accents)\, their particular skill lies in blending phenomenal product with focused flavors and methods. This is cooking that tastes as good as it looks\, shining a spotlight on local purveyors. Naturally\, crowds keep coming for their unpretentious dishes. Wild snails drip with luscious garlic and parsley butter\, while the Santa Barbara uni crêpe cake is layered with crème fraîche and caviar. Lamb en croûte may be next\, served over Calabrian chili aïoli with asparagus. The meat is tender and the aïoli perfectly cuts through the rich\, savory elements. \nDesserts are equally worthy—from a buttery gâteau Breton to black pepper cookies laced with dark chocolate.
