Johnson starts things off with 盖尔纳-based Chef Crista Luedtke: They discuss the most enticing food, 饮料, and outdoor fun to be had in west Sonoma County. The Boon Hotel + Spa owner and Guy's Grocery Games regular shares an impressive list of recommendations that might entice you to add this wine country destination to your next Golden State itinerary.

On her food tours, Haaf揭示了, she will not only turn you on to some of the best bites in town, but she'll also make you a better photographer along the way. And she can tell you exactly how the famous 圣芭芭拉分校 恐慌区 got its name. (Hint, it's not what you might expect!)
最后, Johnson connects with Elexia de la Parra, owner of the popular folk art shop Artelexia in 圣地亚哥's 北公园 neighborhood. De la Parra’s passion for this colorful and welco最小值g neighborhood is infectious, and she can rattle off at least a dozen stellar recommendations—including shopping tips —within just a few blocks of her store.
