Guest chefs Tiffani Thiessen, David Lentz, Kristen Thibeault, and Maili Halme will join The Alisal’s Anthony Endy for special outdoor dinners this fall
Solvang CA— A stay at the 10,500-acre The Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort on select nights this summer and fall now comes with dinner cooked by renowned guest chefs alongside Director of Culinary Operations Anthony Endy. The California Ranch Cookouts kicked off with dinners led by Neal Fraser of Redbird and Burt Bakman from SLAB Barbeque. The Alisal continues to welcome visiting chefs from all over California throughout the rest of the summer and into the fall. The Cookouts feature dinners focusing on everything from fresh California fare to unique vegetarian cuisine, as well as world-class BBQ cooking. Fresh off the heels of his “Beat Bobby Flay” victory, Chef Endy partners with each chef to create a memorable outdoor dining experience for resort guests and members of The Alisal to enjoy.
In September, Chef David Lentz of Hungry Cat will share his seafood fare and bi-coastal flavors with the ranch’s guests in September. Then in October, actress-turned-Chef Tiffani Thiessen will team up with Santa Barbara County’s renowned Chef Maili Halme to bring comforting cuisine to the Cookout table. The following week, Nybll’s Co-Founder and Executive Chef Kristen Thibeault, a pioneer in the modern plant-based food movement, will share her vegetarian cuisine.
The California Cookouts will rotate between the Rodeo Arena and the Oval Lawn, two spacious and unique al fresco dining spaces at the ranch. Both locations sit amidst the beautiful rolling hills of the resort’s property, making for a wide-open backdrop to the cookout experience.
