Variety is the spice of love. – Helen Rowland

Notes from the Chef

Though it may be a chilly San Francisco summer day outside, today’s meal will warm you right up! Gastronaut is tickling your taste buds with a meal featuring lots of spice. Enjoy the grilled tri tip with Jorge’s tomatillo salsa, and the vegan entrée is served on a bed of organic sautéed dandelion greens from Route 1 Farms along the Santa Cruz coast. Also be sure to help yourself to a serving of roasted organic Willey Farms red potatoes with sambal vinaigrette. T & D Willey Farms in Madera, California is a family farm that has been producing fine organic produce since 1987. We hope you enjoy your lunch!
