Pressed Juicery to open in Montecito



Juicy news.....Pressed Juicery is adding one more store to it's healthy lineup of locations.  Raw. Cold pressed. Delivered daily. Yum.
PRESSED JUICERY was born out of the idea that in order to find fulfillment and balance each day, modern people need to be armed with a fresh set of tools that are simple, convenient, and tailored to their hectic schedules. We believe that everyone is entitled to live their best lives, but in order for this to happen, we need to get back to our roots. While the benefits of juicing are endless, we aim to cut through the confusion and condescension of so many health trends and get to the point: our bodies require vital nutrients to function at their optimal levels. Pressed Juicery provides a convenient way to meet those requirements. 
It's not a revolutionary concept, but it seems that with every step we've taken towards making the world more connected, we have somehow lost sight of the basics. At PRESSED, we want you to have it all. Our drinks are blended daily and personalized to your lifestyle, providing you with the option to hop online and order individual bottles or a cleanse package, straight to your doorstep as often as you'd like. Life gets complicated, but at the end of the day all of your goals are possible if you have a fine-tuned vehicle to help you accomplish them. So, let us do the work, while you enjoy the ride. 
Pressed Juicery Montecito is set to open this coming Tuesday in the Von's Montecito Grocery Center next to Little Alex's....so mark your calendars. Get ready to get back to your roots.

Follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, too.

Surfing Chef Erik Stenberg is the new chef at Alchemy Arts

Good luck Chef! Alchemy Arts is one of my favorite little getaways here in Santa Barbara. Looking forward to trying his dishes.
Erik Stenberg has been cooking in restaurants, homes, and event sites all over the world for more than fifteen years. He began cooking as a young boy growing up in Hood River, OR, as the third of nine kids. Together with their mom, the kids canned, jammed and preserved the summer bounty to last through the winter. His biggest inspiration, however, has come from living in Santa Barbara County, where his passion for cultivating food in his backyard and foraging for it in the wild has thrived. 
...Since graduating from Johnson and Wales University’s culinary arts program in 2002, Stenberg has been absorbing lessons in kitchens all over the world, from Italy and Wales to Maui and Colorado. - Press Release from Alchemy Arts on The Santa Barbara Independent

Ascendant Spirits - A Santa Barbara County Distillery

Actually, Santa Barbara County's first liquor distillery since Prohibition is opening up in Buellton.
Steve Gertman and family are opening the Buellton liquor distillery’s doors to the public for tours and tastings this Saturday and Sunday. The venture, located off Highway 101 at 37 Industrial Way, Suite 103, will also be the only legal distillery on the Central Coast, Gertman told Noozhawk. “The industry as a whole is taking off,” said Gertman, who studied at the American Distilling Institute. “This is really a perfect spot.” - Noozhawk
Visit Acendant's website, Facebook page or follow them on Twitter and Pinterest. But, do....sip and sample this weekend!
