FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Some restaurants, like Tipzy’s Tacos & Beer in the Tower District, held a Dine and Dish watch party to catch their segment.
“Taking this big milestone is really going to put us on the map,” says co-owner Claudia Moreno.
The food is always the star.
Many viewers want to try something different, like the chile verde at Al’s Cafe at Highway 99 and Olive. It’s red, not green because it is a mix of Sicilian and Mexican ingredients.
“You could put that on dirt and it would be good,” says manager Sandy Richardson.
Chefs know fellow chefs are always on the lookout for what’s good and what’s different.
Westwood’s BBQ at River Park always draws a crowd.
“There’s a culture that follows BBQ around,” says Josh Weber, Westwood’s Director of Operations. “If you’re a BBQ guy, you’re going to visit a town. You kind of like to check out what they’ve got in BBQ. You always go pick out your favorite spot. It’s something I always do when I’m down in Texas.”
When you’re located along Highway 99 across from Bravo Farms in Traver, like the folks at Don’t Bite the Bone, your customers often come from beyond the Central Valley.
“We’ve had people here from Japan, Norway, France, barely speak any English,” says co-owner Raule Martinez.
They’re all in search of some good food just like us, so we can’t wait to see and taste what the new year will bring.
