It’s been a few years since our last Culinary Cowboys ride – our clever synonym for a restaurant review.
We came out of hibernation at the insistence of good friend Lia Odell, who wrangled us for “A Night with The Culinary Cowboys” to be auctioned off and benefit the Vista del Lago High School Talon Club, where we were purchased by Dr. Sean Roth and his wife Karen.
We opted to connect one act of kindness with another and to pay our debt at Twin Lakes Food Bank, where we (The Culinary Cowboys) were auctioned off a few years ago to high bidders Leo and Myriam Liberman. Then, just to add some crazy fun into the mix, we invited “management:” Style Co-Publishers Terry Carroll and Wendy Sipple, and Style Staff Photographer Dante along for the ride. Collectively, our party of 10 reviewed Sequoia – a delightful restaurant up the hill in Placerville. The ambiance of Sequoia is a leap back into the past, when the old Victorian was recognized as the Bee-Bennett House. Myriam noted, “The restaurant’s entrance and greenery outside is very inviting and once inside you feel very warm and comfortable.”
On this evening, we were seated in the very private Solarium Room. The atmosphere is elegant and perfect for groups of 10 to 30 people. From the moment we were seated, our guests instantly sensed we were in for a delightful dining experience. The night was a special gathering with old friends, new friends and those we hadn’t connected with for some time.
