Big Sur Health Clinic Fundraiser @ Ventana

The Big Sur Foragers Festival was holding a fundraiser at Ventana for the Big Sur Health Clinic. Most of the participating chefs and vendors were from the area, the rest of us mostly from a bit further north in the Bay Area. When we first arrived I mistook the intense vibe for stuffiness. It turned out people were just wanting to show off their best work, and pretty soon, everyone was so relaxed.


The chef from Esalen won top prize for Best Vegetarian dish.



Best Overall Dish, prepared by the chefs at MonTrio in Monterey, Foie Gras & Bacon over Mushroom Pastry with Candy Cap & Pine Needle Liquor reduction.
