The Bite Goes On – Cole Dickinson Apr 26, 2019

Show notes

EP25: Since MacArthur Place Hotel was purchased last year, there has been a great amount of curiosity as to how the culinary direction would change from its steakhouse roots. On this episode of The Bite Goes On, Kathleen Hill joins us as we were able to talk to Chef Cole Dickenson about his returning home to Sonoma County, his path working his way up the ladder to become an Executive Chef, his appearance on CHOPPED, “Layla” a much anticipated restaurant opening, his mentor Michael Voltaggio and his support for No Kid Hungry and the upcoming ChefCycle event. We also talk about his ambition to get a nod from the Michelin inspectors as well as the hotel property achieving a Forbes 5 star hotel status.

The Bite Goes On – Sonoma Farm Trails Apr 19, 2019

Show notes

EP24: Sonoma Farm Trails was created over 40 years ago as a way to connect the farmers to the public and a chance to learn more about their local food. Four decades later, the mission has remained the same, but they have more members than ever. Folks coming to Sonoma County should come in hand with a downloadable Farm Trail Map that will show them the way to family farms, the best produce, flowers and a real look at the Sonoma County food landscape.

Samantha Harman from Sonoma Farm Trails (a non-profit) and friend Tyffani Sedgwick joined us in Santa Rosa to record this episode. We discussed the history of the organization (including reviewing some of the earliest maps), the famous Gravenstein Apple Fair, Farm Trail events and more.

EP23: El Molino Central garners a lot of fabulous press and with good reason. The food is delicious, consistent, focused and authentic. “El Molino Central in Sonoma delivers Bay Area’s best Mexican food.” -San Francisco Chronicle For the second year in a row, owner Karen Taylor has been nominated for a James Beard chef award. We had a great conversation talking about Karen’s first cooking job, her mentor Diane Kennedy and her time spent in Mexico learning how to cook the traditional dishes of Mexico, her Italian pizza adventures and more.

The Bite Goes On – Deirdre Bourdet Mar 08, 2019

Show notes

EP18: In my opinion, the best way for me to describe Deirdre Bourdet to you is that she is an adventure global eater combined with the magic of the written word. Deirdre joined Sondra years ago on one of her cruises to Vietnam, where they shared the eating journey there together. Years later, Deirdre continues her worldly adventures, loving Italy, Myanmar, Thailand, Sardinia, Tokyo and more. Her food travels have inspired her to create a platform for folks to create a dinner party using her upcoming e-books with steps from a few days out to the actual party. Excited to see her first one, that will contain links to where to find ingredients, assistance in technique, playlists and a travel journal. In the meantime she has shared wome of her favorite companies and links for food-related adventures around Europe and Asia.
