Sensorio in Paso Robles is California’s Largest Immersive Art Exhibition. General Manager Ryan Hopple is out guest to illuminate all that is Sensorio. Casey McMinn is the Executive Chef of The Ava Hotel. We’ll meet him. “Chef Casey McMinn leads the kitchen with passion, purpose, and deep local roots. A Central Coast native known for his soulful wood-fired cooking, McMinn has honed his craft at acclaimed restaurants like State Bird Provisions in San Francisco and The Hatch in downtown Paso.” “Made with loving, artisan hands, all-natural and the finest of ingredients, Butterfly Brittles are prepared to perfection with just the right buttery and crunchy consistency. They source the finest and freshest ingredients from local suppliers to produce small batches of the highest quality, gluten and preservative-free artisan brittle varietals accented with flavorful flair and southern charm.” Founder Ardie Hood puts down her candy thermometer to join us.
