Why in the world was I out in a field this past Saturday from 3 pm to 8 pm? Because two of my awesome customers, Tina & Tere Cruz, invited me and a plus one to a “private” Outstanding in the Field Event. OMG! What a treat. It was an amazing experience!
I text my friend Chris, who I did the Spain Semester with at USC, and said “Are you available for a really cool event on Saturday, May 6th”? He got divorced a few years ago and is living his best life and this is his year of only saying “Yes”. So, he text me back, “Yes, my Saturday is wide open. I am game for anything short of jumping out of an airplane.” LOL!
It was held at Rancho el Rincon in Carpinteria. First, we had Margaritas and sat in Adirondack chairs overlooking the ocean. While sitting there, the OITF (Outstanding in the Field) staff brought by some of the most amazing appetizers!
Just to give you an idea of the caliber of food served, here is a list of the appetizers:
-Baja California Kumiai Oysters: JJ’s Lone Daughter Ranch Kumquat, Pickled Fresno Chili
-Mini Blue Corn Barbacaoa Tacos: JJ’s Lone Daughter Ranch Avocados, Tomatillo Salsa, Queso Resco & Pickled Red Onion
-Quesabirria con Huitlachoche y Hongos
-Superior Farms Borrego Tare-Tare: Aleppo Pepper, Roasted Garlic, Spring Onion, Finley Farms Little Gem
Drinks served with the appetizer course were:
-2022 Land of Saints Rose of Grenache Santa Barbara
-Yola Mezcal Margarita w Rancho el Rincon Limon
Here we are toasting the amazing day and also Chris and me with Tere and Tina.
After cocktail hour, we got a tour from Nick, who’s family owns the farm and Rincon Tropics. What a treat to check out the avacados, passion fruit and tangerines. Then it was dinner at a long table for 40 of us.
Outstanding in the Field is very well known and they are famous for hosting Farm to Table events all over the World. Tina and her sister, Tere, have been to many of these events from Mexico to Hearst Castle. For those of you who may remember from one of my past ezines, I took my kids to an Outstanding in the Field at Hearst Castle. Here is a link to that ezine “Empty Nest…Full Store” if you want to read more.
During dinner we got some fun pictures. Here is Chris with Seth (from Outstanding in the Field) and Tina. Here I am with Tere and her cousin.
The event ended with a surprise Mariachi band. And I want to show you what my plate and the menu looked like.
What an epic day! So much fun. Chris and I grabbed a ride down the hill from some of our new friends into Carp after and hit up a local bar and then ubered home. LOL! Epic is an understatement. Thank you Tina & Tere from the bottom of my heart!
Before I forget, after I posted some photos on Instagram/Facebook, I got a text from one of my sorority sisters, Kathy Aicher. She was like “I know Tina…her family owned my favorite Mexican Restaurant.” NO WAY! And the restaurant was famous.
It was called Ernie Jrs and was in Pasadena and Eagle Rock. Although, Tina & Tere’s dad founded the original Ernie’s back in North Hollywood almost 70 years ago. Wow!
Check out this article about them closing back in 2014. So interesting! And this is what the Mid Century Sign looked like. They were in business for almost 60 years. Really reminds me of my grandmother and how she was in business for 52 years. Both institutions and very sad days when they both shut down.
Enough about me and my fun life….LOL!
