Chef Paul Canales has been working with whole beef animals from Moira, Bill, and Mac and other local cattle ranchers for the past three years. He’s been learning about breeds, diet (there’s considerable variation in grass-fed beef), maturity, aging, butchery and how best to cook each cut. So, Paul wanted to present these Beef Dinners as a way of showing some of the various, unexpected, and delicious things he’s learned.

*Moira, Bill, and Mac will be in the cafe available for chatting from 5 to 6 PM, then have dinner with us upstairs; they’ll be back down in the Café to socialize after dinner.

Please call 510-547-5356 for reservations or reserve online.
