Recently ate at Buellton Rudy’s. The blandness, the chipped plate, the wobbly tables with worn out booths- at least when the gal told us “cash only” she was smiling. One out of two plates wrong items. Used to love Montecito Street Rudy’s….
I thought we got rid of Ellen for good? Can someone please tell her Donald J Trump is still President for four more glorious years?
Mosaic locale on state and anapamu
A frozen to fried chain restaurant in the harbor would be excruciatingly devastating to the locals and inevitably result in another empty space while the vetting process starts all over again.
🤣
It was an excruciating toss up during a 3 day catered round table at San Yisdro Ranch, where they ate caviar and foie gras paired with 1996 Salon an 1921Chateau D'yquem, respectively.
"Coral Casino Restaurant by Chef Thomas Keller" and "Chef Thomas Keller's Coral Casino Restaurant" were fiercely debated for two days straight, punches were thrown, With all the foie over 3 days, gout set in for several round table members and in the end a coin was flipped and we have our new restaurant name.

Sad news about The Rochers at the Ranch House. My husband and I were fortunate enough to dine there a few months ago (and now wish we’d gone back sooner) and had one of the most exceptional dining experiences we’ve had in this area. We wish them all the best in future endeavors.
Damn, The corral casino marketing agency went all out… how do they come up with all that creativity???
“You’re” is the contraction for “you are”. “Your” is a modifier before a noun.
You’re a MAGA ignoramus.
Your eighth grade report card average must have been C-.
See?
So excited about Coyotes Market in Carp. Any chance you could also be a cheese monger? That seems to be the only thing missing in our wonderful town! Best of luck and see you in the spring!
I suspect a necessary upgrade of the Derfs space will be cost prohibitive. Should have let it be.
Your work is appreciated and something I look forward to! You keep me excited about being a part of the SB community, even after living here over 4 decades. It's not an easy task but I appreciate your balance of humor, factual reporting and keen eye for style, great food and the general comings and goings of SB. Keep it up and thank you!
Good to know!
2709 Vista Oceano is immediately to the north of Nesbitt, and above that is the Pacifica Graduate Institute property that's on the market.
From SBA's Instagram post (likely source of Edhat's article): "San Diego service is returning with two carriers: Alaska starting on April 22, and Southwest starting August 4."
Alaska is adding SBA to SAN not SWA I believe.
That’s Pat Nesbitt’s estate - it’s been on the market for several years.
The property immediately to the north is the Pacifica Graduate Institute, now on the market for $17.9 million .
Horses.
Antique Alley on State Street just found out that they have lost their lease. The guy at the counter said the original owner has retired, and the building is being sold. Moving to another location seemed unlikely to make economic sense as their current lease is affordable and the location ideal.
I do love how the Zillow listing says "A globally recognized private estate bordering the highly prestigious city of Montecito," Did I miss an election on Cityhood?
And on Google Maps, what is the deal with property due north? 2907 Vista Oceano. Giant Gararge? Pavillion. Maybe a wedding and events venue?
Now imagine when they take that same approach for the State St. pedestrian promenade.
Re: rent freeze. City council should consult with the city attorney and brush up on state law before wasting city staff time on a measure that violates state law. Will they also freeze insurance rates? No. Will the freeze utility rates? No. Will they freeze property taxes? No. Will they freeze the rates plumbers/electricians charge to make repairs? No.
Re the Goleta Library. Why does this happen so often. There’s such a hurry to close things to the public (or cut down trees) for projects that are nowhere near ready to start
The same thing is happening at Dwight Murphy baseball field. Kids lost the entire summer and it’s been eight months there too. Nothing has happened at the baseball field except putting up a fence to close it off. I don’t understand why construction can’t be staged to reduce downtime and public resources are allowed to sit idle for so long. Not sure who benefits from this approach but it’s not the public. Why not wait to close stuff until it’s ready to go?
