This is a group that was created organically, from the earth and fueled by the fire. It started with meeting a friend to discuss life and inviting another friend and another..... It occurred to me that I was spending most Sunday nights after spending fun days with family & the "to do" list with friends at Sandbar. I've met many new people, some just passing through and some locals giving me the scoop on SB around the fire pit. At the last gathering we officially adopted each other and became …

Every two weeks we meet at various locations to learn the secrets of Santa Barbara's sensational cuisine from the people who produce, market and prepare our food.

In the future we will harvest or shop for food together, cook it and share a simple meal along with conversations about sustainable food with myself, Gerri French. I am a long time foodie and dietitia …

Double Dating - a Fun Restaurant Meetup for SB Singles Ah, the dating game - a fun and delightful experience for some, but trepidatious for others.

The plan is for a small group of us to visit Santa Barbara restaurants, each paying for our meals separately, while enjoying each other’ …
