BBQ Smokehouse is the “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” gem in a tiny porch-style building on the edge of a movie theater parking lot in downtown Sebastopol. Vito is the chef who {…}

by careysweet2 months ago in Food.0 Comments

As sad as it is, sometimes we’re all too busy to eat. Witness the granola bar wrappers on the floorboards of our cars, or the evenings when we’ve made popcorn for dinner. All hail the rushed, the harried, or the simply too lazy to go to the grocery store. Forchetta/Bastoni has introduced a grab-n-go section, for a speedy meal from {…}

Drive-In Delights: Pick’s, Carr’s, and D’s

by TravelAndrew5 months ago in GLBT.0 Comments

A few months ago I wrote about southern Sonoma County’s sterling Fremont Diner, which occupies a drive-in known previously as Babe’s Burgers. The owners of the Fremont have taken the humble diner/drive-in concept and raised it to new heights, serving inspired farm-to-table versions of comfort-food classics.
