Actual Text Seen a Restaurant Ad in the Sentinel

[Manton]

"Santa Cruz: not just for hippies & peaceniks anymore"

sigged

Here's the rest:

"We (like much of the Bay Area) have changed our ways, and have displaced some (but not all) of our idealistic/utopian aspirations in favor of serious gourmandizing/connoisseurship (itself an idealist pursuit). On the subject of ships, come visit the Mother One at our acclaimed restaurant, Le Cigare Volant, at Bonny Doon Vineyard. We're incredibly proud of our new chef, Ryan Shelton, who prepares brilliant and poetic compositions of the freshest local produce. Tie-dyed formal wear suggested."

I am part encouraged, part worried. A little change is good but we don't need another Carmel!

This place is actually not at the BD vineyard, which is quite remote, but at their tasting room on the West Side. Not sure why the ad is misleading on that point.

Anyway, Kyle, I told you a long time ago SC was eventually going to be the next frontier in NorCal. It's too pretty, too well situated, and the weather is too good for it to remain the sole property of dirtbags forever.

What someone really needs to do is buy Shadowbrook, one of the great locations anywhere, and make the food really sing. People would come for miles for that, like a jr. French Laundry.

If I may.... I would like to point out that someone posting in this thread about what someone needs to do has a formal culinary education so someone in this thread could do just that.

I don't have any money and I'm not a good enough cook.

For god's sake, have some self-esteem, man! Were you to open your restaurant I would be your first customer! Or at least there on the first day. My point is, I would go.

Also, *you* don't need money, you just need to know people who do.

manton, you are familiar with the great randall grahm, no? it's a calculated effect. it's like grateful dead meets monty python while having an elicit affair with robert mondavi.
