We all know Moorpark has it's own "Top Chef" - Fabio Vivani - right?! Well -- guess which restaurant is holding a 4 course meal featuring AVOCADOS! That's right - Cafe Firenze. NEXT Thursday, September 29.
PLUS -- Master Mixologist Jacapo Falleni and his crew have created a special avocado martini for the meal.
YOU KNOW you want to come and try it out, right?! So call TODAY and make reservations - 805-532-0048 Originally, when I approcahed Co-executive Chef John Paolone - he was a bit hesitant. A WHOLE DINNER about avocados?! But the Avocado Diva brought in some rare and unique local 'cados and did a tasting with his crew. MacArthurs, Mexicolas, Pinkertons, Lamb - they ate them up! And he was convinced! "Let's try it" he said.

Chef Paolone thought perhaps we could get 25 to 30 people to attend...and we now have over 100 signed up! Apparently we Californian's LOVE our avocados! So now - we've taken over 2 rooms of the restaurant and are starting on a third! So if you want to go -- CALL THEM ASAP. I would love to take over the whole place. ;-)
Here's the menu and details. Hope you can join the Avocado Diva and enjoy this chance to try out some AMAZING, LOCAL (and Morro Bay...), HERITAGE avocados! See you there! I'll be the blond Diva with the avocado earrings...
