I had lunch the other day at the Thomas Hill Organic Restaurant in Paso Robles. It came with a solid recommendation from my mother who knew all about it from the reputation of their farm, vines, and CSA. Let me just say, I was completely blow away at the freshness of the foods at the restaurant,

Have You Ever Tried Abalone?

I feel a little like a broken record telling you all how much I love the Central Coast and the people who choose to make it their home. But seriously, look at this:

The Best Thursday Evening Around
