San Juan Gold Cheese | Pomegranate | Baguette | Old Red Salt

Chef Dakota Weiss puts a spin on the time-tested cheese plate. Frying the cheese creates a "grilled cheese crispys" texture and flavor that is both satisfying and intriguing. Pair with a glass of your favorite red or a nice hoppy craft IPA.

"Old Red" Salt Blend

The blends are a mix of fruits, nuts, herbs and vegetables that are sourced directly from farms around the Central Coast. This region is one of the largest agricultural areas in the United States, which allows Big Sur Salts to source and use the freshest ingredients available. That being said, the Central Coast is one of the only locations on the planet where this can be done to such high quality.

Carlo Overhulser

In November of 2015, I was in a rut and drinking a beer on a cliff overlooking the ocean
in Big Sur. This huge wave rose 30 feet or so above the water and drenched me. Changed my whole day. Brought some water back in the beer bottle, left it outside and the water evaporated. Mixed it with some stuff I was going to compost, and the rest is in the rearview.
