The New West Coast With Chef Dave![Avatar image](https://res.cloudinary.com/epicurate/image/upload/c_fill,h_80,w_80,g_face/logos%2Frqtd3tsuax6wjprniwc4)
I’ve covered a lot of ground as a Chef, Food Writer and Photographer. There is little left undone, it’s been a wild ride and I love to talk shop. Currently working statewide focusing on Sonoma and Orange Counties.
My culinary experience is formed around the manifestation of being puro Californio, with indigenous ancestors going back before the Spaniards arrived in Sonoma and the European side sailed from France to settle there in the 1850’s. Those roots run deep in ancestry and attitude. My pallette draws from West Coast Americana, Regional Mexican, Mediterranean, Moroccan and even aspects of Vietnamese. The West Coast experience is in my blood and the purest expression of that for me is via the plate and pen. I also have a gritty, sentimental side that I pour onto each preparation. Every dish has a story and that story deserves to be told.
I pride myself on being super easy to work with, food should be fun and I think good company makes for the very best of ingredients. Let’s have a meal to remember!
All Things Brunch
I like how the Greeks do breakfast, they cover a lot of ground. If you’ve ever spent a lazy day on Santorini or Corfu sipping Retsina (the local dry, white wine) and snacking you’ll know what I’m talking about. It always consists of fresh presentations geared towards the tourists with enough of a local touch to remind everyone where they are. Mine is akin to that with my own OC twist, featuring an amazing variety of flavors to entice you palate and spirit. It does not disappoint and will get your day by the coast off to a fine start. This is just a sample, I love making an amazing brunch and have lots of favorite dishes.
