A Cuisine for Every Taste dining a cuisine for every taste s unlikely as it may seem, lil’ ol’ Monterey County can make a strong claim for a spot at the table with the world’s greatest dining regions. With A1,200 eateries, it enjoys one of the highest per capita concentrations of restaurants anywhere. Countless top-notch restaurateurs have migrated here to stake their claim, and the reason is simple: close proximity to the freshest ingredients. It all begins with the Monterey Bay home to a virtually endless variety of seafood. From spot prawns and sand dabs to abalone and halibut—not to men- tion the ubiquitous squid and countless other species of edibles—Monterey Bay is the region’s natural fish mar- ket. Both Monterey and nearby Moss Landing are home to a commercial fishing industry that acts as the feeder system for local restaurants and shops. To go along with all that delicious seafood, you’ll need some veggies and salad. Lucky for you, the fertile Salinas Valley just happens to be known as “The World’s Salad Bowl.” Practically every vegetable and type of let- tuce is grown here. And don’t forget artichokes, because just 15 miles north, in Castroville, lies the artichoke capital of the world. How about a little garlic to season it all with? Just a little further north is Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world. Ah, but you’ll need something to help wash it all down. Fortunately, Monterey County is home to approxi- mately 50 wineries, from the historic Chalone Vineyards to the intimately boutique (but still world-class) Chateau Christina. For beer drinkers, English Ales in Marina, Peter B’s in Monterey ad Monterey Coast Brewing in Salinas provide local suds with award-winning aplomb. There’s no shortage of places to experience this bounty. Taste local ingredients prepared in tiny tratto- rias, bodacious bodegas, delicate dim sum spots, time- honored taquerias and down-home mom and pop shops. Dine out for a few delicious bucks at a casual spot like Turtle Bay Taqueria or go the distance and indulge your- self at venerable establishments like Pacific’s Edge and Marinus. That’s just the tiny tip of a very large iceberg lettuce head. So loosen that belt and dive right in. There’s a lot to explore. 44 The BesT of MonTerey Bay 2008 • 2009 w w w .bestofmontereybay.co m IT’S GOOD TO KNOW WHERETHE LOCALS GO Hwy 1 & Rio Road, Highway 68 at 414 Calle Principal, Prescott & Wave on Carmel Canyon Del Rey, Monterey Monterey Cannery Row, Monterey (831) 625-5436 (831) 647-1444 (831) 648-8880 (831) 372-8880 (dining) John Pisto’s fine establishment serves the fresh- Massaro and sanTos seafood est seafood available with an Italian accent and All alone on the Coast Guard pier is a clas- has an oyster bar to boot. 50 Fisherman’s sic Italian seafood restaurant with stunning Abalonetti seafood Wharf 1, Monterey, 372-3655. 180-degree views of the bay.

  • The Best Restaurants and Hotels
    ★★★ THE BEST RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS EDITION ★★★ Robbe & Berking Restaurant Guide 2017 ★★★ Dear Friends of Fine Cuisine, Delicious Food and Tables Set in Style, This 10th anniversary edition of our restaurant guide is bursting with 234 culinary hotspots featuring 143 Michelin stars. All the eateries listed have one thing in common: their outstanding performance. The very best produce and ingredients are prepared with meticulous attention to detail here by creative chefs with incredible fl air who really love their job. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t make it onto this prestigious list. And speaking of love, there’s another thing that sets these restaurants apart: real love – real silver. After all, the trappings and the atmosphere also play an important role in the dining experience. Even the greatest masterpiece needs a stage to unveil its full effect. Nowadays, it seems there’s a constant pressure for everything to become quicker, more convenient and easier all the time. All the more comforting, then, to know that these restaurants and the people behind them exist. Dine with the best and enjoy yourself. Yours, Oliver Berking 2 3 Alta Alta is a veritable classic amongst the Moderns. Despite its somewhat austere appearance, this range of cutlery conveys an almost sensuous feeling of pure pleasure for the eye and also for the hands. The reason is that its chiselled fi nish allows us to experience the beauty of the silver, there is no unneces- sary ornamentation to distract our gaze away from the clarity of the lines. With its simplistic beauty and its taut silhouette, Alta makes us feel that this is the one and only shape that is justifi ed in providing the basic pattern for every contemporary style of cutlery today.

  • 1. Chefs YESTERDAY and TODAY
    BAC•01•Chefs•Final 8/12/03 11:17 AM Page xxxiv 1. Chefs YESTERDAY AND TODAY “A country without a past has no future.” In a culinary sense, we have to reaffirm our past because we have one. And if we have any future, it is our past. We have to understand who we are and where we are. MARK MILLER BAC•01•Chefs•Final 8/12/03 11:17 AM Page 1 Rick Bayless’s life is not atypical of the lives of America’s other foremost chefs who, like Rick, alternately wear the hats of chef, restaurateur, businessperson, author, television host, activist, and/or sometimes even celebrity. Bayless runs two successful restaurants—Frontera Grill and Topolobampo—in Chicago, but he crisscrosses the United States to participate in various benefits with other chefs, and regularly travels the globe for business and pleasure. He’s an active leader of the Chefs Collaborative, a not-for-profit organization of chefs concerned about the quality of food in America. Rick is also a spouse and a parent—and, even more impressive in this demanding profession, he has found a way to balance all of these professional and personal roles admirably. BAC•01•Chefs•Final 8/12/03 11:17 AM Page 2 Before even having a shot at reaching this level of success, however, working cooks—as I was for ten years—are known to experience “rites of passage” not unlike those one might encounter in boot camp. Our hours are long, the work is physically demanding, and the conditions are, well, hot.
