Locavore Dinner

So, you've probably figured it out by now, but we're really into local food. We think it tastes better, that its better for our bodies, and we like to support our local farmers. And our friends, Kris and Joanne Young of Ojai couldn't agree more. They are the leaders of a cool project called Locavore Lite 2010, where they are calling upon all of us in the Ventura area and beyond to eat more local food this year, grow more food in our backyards, and support our local farmers markets.
So, because we're so excited about what they're doing, we're hosting a completely local dinner at our bistro on April 8th at 6pm. Here's a peek at the menu. Note: each course will be paired with a perfectly delicious wine from Ventura's own "backyard."

Goat cheese, pistachio and tangerine salad with local
greens and a citrus ginger vinaigrette

Grilled Watkins Ranch steak with glazed baby carrots
and roasted beets, shaved radish, and arugula pesto

Avocado semifreddo with roasted strawberries,
walnut tuille, and lime coulis
