What a fantastic summer it has been so far! I can't get over the balmy California weather, long light evenings, and the thought of all the warm summer weekend getaways ahead. Do you have any fun plans or vacations for summer? Stuart and I have a series of trips planned, including a bridal shower, baby shower, wedding, family weekends, and the list goes on. I'll be sure to get full reports out to you, in between all the ooo-ing, ahh-ing, and dancing ahead!!
Last weekend, we met up with my mother in law Karen for a belated birthday celebration. Since she lives in the Santa Barbara area and we are here in SLO, we decided to conveniently meet in the middle in the town of Buellton. I feel like the area isn't very well known, but along with being the home of the famous "Andersen's Pea Soup" restaurant, Buellton in home to many winery tasting rooms and a couple great places to grab a bite.
We had lunch at
Industrial Eats, a little gem of a restaurant that offers amazing cheese plates along with a full menu of housemade pizzas, sandwiches, and salads. It has a casual, picnic-y vibe but has also paid a good attention to detail in the way their wares are displayed, such as a butcher-paper menu, cute little glass cake stands, and homey blue-and-white bowls piled with fresh fruit. A great stop if you are driving through and find yourself needed a meal in the Buellton area!
Salad of beets, fava, walnut oil, and goat cheese
Smoked turkey sandwich with basil mayo
Pizza with tomato, fennel sausage, and mozzarella
Not sure when we'll be back, but next time I want the cheese plate! Yum.
