Letter from Through the years I ve learned that executing a perfect dish has everything to do with quality ingredients. (A little heat from chiles doesn t hurt!) The Central Coast is home to extraordinary produce and every season, we get to choose from a cornucopia of locally-grown treats; the toughest part is fi guring out which fl avors to use! We work closely with local farmers, ranchers and fi shermen so that you enjoy only the freshest possible fare for your event. We are dedicated to bold fl avors, the freshest ingredients and skillful preparation of your meals. My team and I look forward to helping you create memories! CY YONTZ, Executive Chef
