Tasty Travels' crew rolls into SLO County eateries

The crew of "Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels" is dropping in on several eateries in Cambria, Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo during a Food Network film shoot. After visiting Monterey on Tuesday morning, they visited Chenoa in Cambria.

Owner Jade Pambrio isn't normally open for lunch, but on Tuesday she prepared pecan-encrusted halibut with a leek-lemon cream sauce for 30 friends and the three-person crew of the Food Network show.

Next, the crew traveled to Morro Bay and Windows on the Water.

On Wednesday, they returned to Cambria to Fermentations, a home decor/wine tasting shop owned by Leslie Gainer.

Their next stop was Big Sky Cafe in San Luis Obispo. For years, Charles Myers, founder and owner of Big Sky, had hoped the Food Network would come to town. He featured vegetarian food for the presentation, with a vegetable pozole and zhug, a "smoky roasty Mid-eastern eggplant dip."

The crew was also scheduled to visit San Luis Obispo's Buona Tavola on Wednesday night.

The show will air in about eight weeks. For information, visit www.foodnetwork.com
