Daddy’s Chicken Shack

January 15, 2019 Our Man On The Ground 28

It’s hard to know where to file Daddy’s Chicken Shack.  Quick bite?  Yep.  Frontrunner in the fast-casual movement?  Check.  Immediately addictive with a sensational vegan option for those loveable but holy high maintenance vegan friends […]

Belmond El Encanto, Santa Barbara

December 29, 2018 Our Man On The Ground 1

The list of loyal clientele at the Belmond El Encanto reads more like Hollywood royalty, than nouveau riche…Streisand and Gable, rather than Kardashian. The seven-acre property possesses a sense of grandeur dating back the golden […]

Maple at Descanso Gardens

December 17, 2018 Our Man On The Ground 23

Something about dining beneath those towering timbers, that foliage that won’t quit, that soaring A-frame ceiling, it’s the makings of a meal within a meadow laden fantasy.  The newly refreshed Maple at Descanso Gardens in […]

Meadowood Spa Napa Valley

June 3, 2017 Our Man On The Ground 0

In an unrivalled legacy of upscale destining, serenity and restoration have long defined the most lavish land in St. Helena, at Meadowood Spa.  A Silverado Trail secret never meant to be kept, its grace and […]

Meadowood Napa Valley

June 2, 2017 Our Man On The Ground 0

We vacate to recalibrate.  We vacate to reawaken.  And we vacation to find ourselves steeped in that rare and religious space, where the English language proves woefully inadequate. Tucked deep into the hinterlands of Napa […]
