Secret Sea Cove

Every time we set the table on the beach, it feels like we’re California dreaming. We’ve seen whales, dolphins, otters and seals. The waves have kissed the table or even splashed over it. On breezy days, the table goes snug against the cliff; on calm days it can go just about anywhere. Last year it even rained (we tented), which is extremely rare on the California coast in May. Three years ago we witnessed a surprise rocket launch during dessert. But there are two constants: It’s always fun. And we always have Hans the fisherman on hand to tell us about what is on the plate and point out which of the returning boats motoring offshore caught it. Chefs love having their choice of the fresh catch, and guest chef Andy Huynh will feed us well. Andy does crazy good Asian street food – think fresh-sizzled gyoza, bahn mi sandwiches, steamed bao, and seasonally inspired ramen bowls. This is food that sets TV traveling chefs’ hearts aflutter, and we’ve got it right there on the beach.
