Chef Rick www.chefricks.com

The up-tempo american cooking prepared by one of the central coast premier
chef's, Rick Manson is a blend of southern louisiana, southwest, and southern
California influences, seasoned with a hint of rhythm and blues, a splash of
color, and a touch of irreverence.

You won't need any extra bucks to taste Rick's creole shrimp, chicken, and
andouille smoked sausage jambalaya pasta, so come to the restaurants
booth where he will embrace you with the warmth of his considerable smile,
and where he will be practicing the motto on his self-produced house wine
label: "Everything I do gohn be funky (from now on)."

The Hitching Post Casmalia www.hitchingpost1.com

Casmalia, California, former cow-town of the Old West, is where California-style barbequeing was brought to perfection by the pioneers. The Hitching Post has brought this live-oak California-style barbequeing to perfection bringing choice, aged beef to the ultimate of gourmet flavor and tenderness.  Known for the best oak grilled steaks in the Santa Maria Valley since 1952, Bill Ostini and Teri Stricklin will bring their barbequeing team to Wine in the Pines this year.   Bring a few extra bucks because you might be hungry for an oak grilled New York steak while sampling some excellent “reds.”
