Next, we take a short jaunt up the California coast to eat and drink with Allison Costa, who owns Ventura Food Tours and Santa Barbara Tasting Tours. We start in Ventura, for craft beer at Madewest and TopaTopa brewing companies, before heading to Oxnard for brunch at Brasserie Communautaire. Then Costa takes us to Beacon Coffee in Ojai for a flat white and bite of rosemary shortbread, and to Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone for chicken mole tacos at Mony’s and a slice of tomato, fennel sausage, chile, arugula and mozzarella pizza at the Lucky Penny.
