The New Mattei's Tavern

gets a nod from the Latte Times' S. Irene Virbila
Mattei’s Tavern, the Los Olivos restaurant that has been around since 1886, has just reopened after a hiatus between owners. Brothers Matt and Jeff Nichols ran the place as Brother’s Restaurant at Mattei’s Tavern for years, but when they lost their lease last year, they moved to another location in town and opened the restaurant Sides Hardware and Shoes.

 Now Charles and Ali Banks of Terroir Selections, former owners of Screaming Eagle and now involved with Sandhi, Mayacamas, Mulderbosch and Leviathan wineries, have purchased Mattei’s Tavern. After some sprucing up, the landmark restaurant reopened Saturday

...(Chef Robbie) Wilson plans on not one, but two menus at Mattei’s Tavern. The first, called 1886, features traditional dishes such as beef tartar, campfire trout and wood-fired chicken. The other, called 2013--“inspirations from Los Olivos”--lists dishes such as grilled octopus with scarlet runner beans and preserved lemons, smoked lamb’s neck with refried cannellini beans and salsa verde marmalade, or halibut with lemon ash and olive “debris.” - LA Times

Make reservations on Open Table.

Trick or Tweet this Halloween


An idea from Twitterforfood.
Here's an old idea with a new twist to fight hunger this Halloween:

Leave a paper grocery bag with people in your neighborhood with instructions to fill the bag with canned food for your food bank and that you'll be by on Halloween to pick the bag up. You can make your own sheet to put on the bag or use this one from twitterforfood.com.

If just one person per neighborhood did this, think of all the food we could collect for local food banks! I know some are already doing this, but let's make a big push on twitter to make this happen across the country!

It's Twitter for Food Day Today

Skip a meal and donate your savings to your local food bank (mine, the Santa Barbara Food Bank.) I challenge my fellow foodies and bloggy friends! Let's raise some moolah!

Hunger is here in every season, but summer brings some unique challenges. For millions of kids, the only decent meal they get is during school. Without that consistency while school is out, these kids go hungry. With people on vacation and out of town, food bank supplies run lower and donations are less because we all have summer plans on our minds and don't think of needs as much.

Here at #twitterforfood, we are approaching our 1 year anniversary of creating hunger events on Twitter. It's our hope that this summer we can really kick this up a notch and get the shelves of foodbanks more full through people every month simply skipping one meal and donating the savings to their local food bank. - Twitterforfood

Will Twitter for Food



Will Twitter for Food -

Saturday, August 1st is the next #twitterforfood event. What we are doing is asking everyone on Twitter to skip a meal and use the savings to fund any local or global hunger relief agency. There is a list of hunger agencies and food banks on the main page of twitterforfood.com, but feel free to fund your favorite.

We'll be glad to add any hunger relief non-profit organization to the list, just request to be added by sending an email to twitterforfood@gmail.com or Direct Message our twitter account @HungerNoMore.

I'm skipping a meal for the Food Bank of Santa Barbara.
In 2008, over 125,000 people in Santa Barbara County were served by Foodbank member agencies. The Foodbank distributes food to over 220 social service programs and agencies, churches and community groups from Carpinteria to Santa Maria.
So...all you "tweeps" out there....get to "tweeting" and giving money to your local hunger relief organization.
#twitterforfood Skip a meal Aug 1st and use the savings to fund hunger relief locally and globally! http://tr.im/m1Pq Please RT!
