It’s that beautiful horchata flavor. It was very sweet, which maybe is why I loved it so much. It was very nice. I also got the chile relleno omelette, which was very decadent. You have the chile relleno, so the chile stuffed with tons and tons of cheese, battered, then in the omelette. It was just, like, exploding with cheese.

We’re talking about an experience for everybody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">Recipes here at Julia’s start with Italian, South American influence, Argentina in particular. That will always be the core of what we are. We live close to Salinas and tons of farms, so we’re getting locally-sourced vegetables that haven’t been out of the ground too long. They each have their own flavor, there’s no reason to hide their flavor. You should go ahead and showcase them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">I enjoy cooking with mushrooms the most. There are a lot of different meat substitutes and ways that you can add proteins to dishes, but to capture the umami, mushrooms really fit the bill well. I have an assortment of mushrooms here. These are exotic mushrooms. These are the Cordyceps mushrooms, lion’s mane, and these are baby blue oysters. And then, we actually bread the baby blue oysters and turn them into something similar to calamari, which is what we serve for our mushroom sampler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">The yellow coconut curry is a well-guarded recipe. This is something I can’t really tell you exactly how to do, but I can tell you, I use a mild curry because not everyone wants a spicy curry. And then, we’re using root vegetables. It’s savory, it’s sweet, it warms up your soul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1810\">Server\u003c/strong>: California, also vegan cheese\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"1845\" data-end=\"1857\">Customer\u003c/strong>: Thank you!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1892\">Martin Gundersen\u003c/strong>: So, there’s this thing that happens here.

That’s initially what piqued my interest, is that I wanted to learn more about what this innovative restaurant could offer. There’s different styles of food that you can get, from Mexican-inspired food to Indian-inspired cuisine, and so they really play with their menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"2751\" data-end=\"2769\">Leslie Sbrocco\u003c/strong>: You’re a pescatarian, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"2802\" data-end=\"2818\">Bhavya Mohan\u003c/strong>: Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"2827\" data-end=\"2845\">Leslie Sbrocco\u003c/strong>: So, did you know about this restaurant?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"2889\" data-end=\"2905\">Bhavya Mohan\u003c/strong>: I didn’t, and it’s like, so my jam!

You have these pieces of cauliflower that have been, like, super-fried, tossed in this delicious buffalo sauce. They have two spice levels, I went for the lower one and I actually thought it was just perfect. And they serve it with a vegan — shocking — a vegan ranch dressing that tasted so good.

You’re gonna see these large glass jars full of different spices. They aren’t really spices for food. They’re gonna be something that we flavor our kombucha with. I’m drinking my kombucha right now with a little lemonade. People love our lavender kombucha, but straight up, it’s a little strong for me, so I like to pour it into my lemonade to give it just the right thing. If you’re a kombucha drinker, you probably have good gut health. If you have good gut health, you probably feel as good as I do.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s that beautiful horchata flavor. It was very sweet, which maybe is why I loved it so much. It was very nice. I also got the chile relleno omelette, which was very decadent. You have the chile relleno, so the chile stuffed with tons and tons of cheese, battered, then in the omelette. It was just, like, exploding with cheese.

We’re talking about an experience for everybody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">Recipes here at Julia’s start with Italian, South American influence, Argentina in particular. That will always be the core of what we are. We live close to Salinas and tons of farms, so we’re getting locally-sourced vegetables that haven’t been out of the ground too long. They each have their own flavor, there’s no reason to hide their flavor. You should go ahead and showcase them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">I enjoy cooking with mushrooms the most. There are a lot of different meat substitutes and ways that you can add proteins to dishes, but to capture the umami, mushrooms really fit the bill well. I have an assortment of mushrooms here. These are exotic mushrooms. These are the Cordyceps mushrooms, lion’s mane, and these are baby blue oysters. And then, we actually bread the baby blue oysters and turn them into something similar to calamari, which is what we serve for our mushroom sampler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">The yellow coconut curry is a well-guarded recipe. This is something I can’t really tell you exactly how to do, but I can tell you, I use a mild curry because not everyone wants a spicy curry. And then, we’re using root vegetables. It’s savory, it’s sweet, it warms up your soul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1810\">Server\u003c/strong>: California, also vegan cheese\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"1845\" data-end=\"1857\">Customer\u003c/strong>: Thank you!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1892\">Martin Gundersen\u003c/strong>: So, there’s this thing that happens here.

That’s initially what piqued my interest, is that I wanted to learn more about what this innovative restaurant could offer. There’s different styles of food that you can get, from Mexican-inspired food to Indian-inspired cuisine, and so they really play with their menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"2751\" data-end=\"2769\">Leslie Sbrocco\u003c/strong>: You’re a pescatarian, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"2802\" data-end=\"2818\">Bhavya Mohan\u003c/strong>: Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"2827\" data-end=\"2845\">Leslie Sbrocco\u003c/strong>: So, did you know about this restaurant?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1424\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"2889\" data-end=\"2905\">Bhavya Mohan\u003c/strong>: I didn’t, and it’s like, so my jam!

You have these pieces of cauliflower that have been, like, super-fried, tossed in this delicious buffalo sauce. They have two spice levels, I went for the lower one and I actually thought it was just perfect. And they serve it with a vegan — shocking — a vegan ranch dressing that tasted so good.

I got the yellow coconut curry. It’s loaded with squash, and yams, and vegetables, and it’s got a great amount of spice and flavor to it. It was a very large portion. It comes with a bunch of brown rice on the side. And I got to say, most of my eating revolves around the protein first.

Seitan is a gluten-based plant meat. People always tell me if I ever eat bacon I would love it, but I don’t eat pork.

I’m drinking my kombucha right now with a little lemonade. People love our lavender kombucha, but straight up, it’s a little strong for me, so I like to pour it into my lemonade to give it just the right thing. If you’re a kombucha drinker, you probably have good gut health. If you have good gut health, you probably feel as good as I do.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This Spanish Verdejo is crisp with juicy fruit notes and a succulent finish. It pairs with fresh fish, salads, grilled vegetables, or simply sipping on a spring day. Want to experience more than the wine inside the bottle? Scan the QR code on the label and it comes alive telling a story on your screen.

Unscrew a Barramundi. This whimsical brand explains Aussie lingo with a translation page on the website where you can discover the meaning of terms such as: “Get Cracking” (to begin something) and “A fair suck of the Sav!” (an exclamation of amazement). You can also follow their raucous road trip photos on Instagram. With a lineup of wines that qualify as “good drops,” I recommend starting your exploration with their signature Shiraz. Rich, dark berry flavors are smacked with zesty freshness, making it a red to serve with burgers, pizza, and BBQ. It’s a ripper!

Sonoma-Cutrer was founded more than forty years ago focused on Chardonnay. Over two decades have passed since they expanded their Euro-centric elegance to Pinot Noir bottlings. Their single vineyard examples stand up to some of the best in the world. Their signature Russian River Valley Pinot Noir blends the Owsley and Vine Hill vineyards capturing the complexity and purity of fruit from these iconic vineyards. Red berry aromas with hints of tea leaf and rose petal are followed by a silky texture that defines the best Pinots. Pair with pork loin and mushrooms, grilled salmon with pilaf or a pungent cheese and indulge your passion for Pinot.\u003c/p>\n\n",

This Spanish Verdejo is crisp with juicy fruit notes and a succulent finish. It pairs with fresh fish, salads, grilled vegetables, or simply sipping on a spring day. Want to experience more than the wine inside the bottle? Scan the QR code on the label and it comes alive telling a story on your screen. A new era for wine has begun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://barramundiwines.com.au\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">\u003cstrong>2021 Barramundi Shiraz\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Victoria, Australia $13\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWant fun in a bottle? Unscrew a Barramundi. This whimsical brand explains Aussie lingo with a translation page on the website where you can discover the meaning of terms such as: “Get Cracking” (to begin something) and “A fair suck of the Sav!” (an exclamation of amazement). You can also follow their raucous road trip photos on Instagram. With a lineup of wines that qualify as “good drops,” I recommend starting your exploration with their signature Shiraz. Rich, dark berry flavors are smacked with zesty freshness, making it a red to serve with burgers, pizza, and BBQ. It’s a ripper! (…that means great, btw).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sonomacutrer.com\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">\u003cstrong>2021 Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Noir\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California $36\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThis wine is a California classic. Sonoma-Cutrer was founded more than forty years ago focused on Chardonnay. Over two decades have passed since they expanded their Euro-centric elegance to Pinot Noir bottlings. Their single vineyard examples stand up to some of the best in the world. Their signature Russian River Valley Pinot Noir blends the Owsley and Vine Hill vineyards capturing the complexity and purity of fruit from these iconic vineyards. Red berry aromas with hints of tea leaf and rose petal are followed by a silky texture that defines the best Pinots. Pair with pork loin and mushrooms, grilled salmon with pilaf or a pungent cheese and indulge your passion for Pinot.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
