No matter the season, Chef Emma West is whipping up something deliciously vegetarian at Satellite on State Street. This Farm-to-Table, Farm-to-Glass restaurant and Natural Wine shop is focused on ethical, environmentally beneficial agriculture and the freshest locally grown ingredients.

This Spring, West created a gorgeous Yuzu Snap Pea Salad with amazing Vegan Aioli, featuring the darling of spring markets everwhere, sugar snap peas, along with fennel, pickled carrots, and pansies. As summer rears its head, she will experiment at the market and in the kitchen, and come up with another dish you'll want to drop in and nosh on. Wash it down with one of the shop's many natural wines curated by “Chief Winestronaut” Drew Cuddy.

As experimenting with flavors is key to creating great dishes, West reminds us that this is easy to do at home! You have more control, and change is easier because you have a smaller audience, and it’s only for one night. You can change it the next day, as you like!

Today @vicesandspices celebrates its 50 year anniv $Today @vicesandspices celebrates its 50 year anniversary! Our publisher Rosminah grew up with this shop, first buying sweets like lemon drops and gummy cola bottles. Now she buys the spices and plenty of coffee vices. Locals tip: get the coffee frequent buyer card, it is free to join and still managed on a hand written Rolodex. Buy ten 1-pound bags of coffee, get 1 pound free. Today they offer free cake and coffee, and discounts on merchandise. Normally there is ample parking in the back but probably not today. Here are some photos from years back showing just a fraction of how our beloved shop has been a part of uptown Santa Barbara life. You’ll see, it hasn’t changed.$

A new spot is opening this Thursday in downtown Sa

A new spot is opening this Thursday in downtown Santa Barbara with a nostalgic vibe for the counter service days.
Milkshakes and dipped ice cream cones go along with smashburgers, fried chicken sandwiches, fries plus vegetarian options like an Impossible burger, a grain salad and a kale salad.
There’s even a secret menu item only available on weekends, you’ll have to spot it in the calendar of opening deals for the next week.
It’s rare to have a burger under $5 in this town, and it’ll be right in the downtown action. There’s lots of outdoor seating for casual noshing and hanging out with friends.

A mature loquat tree in Santa Barbara is usually a sign of an older home. When asked what it tastes like, friends have said, “like childhood.”
Anna Bower, assistant curator of Lotusland, offers the lowdown on loquats in Santa Barbara in our latest issue. We also offer our favorite way to eat a fresh loquat.
The article is in the link in our bio!
