Taste of Summer Rancho Mirage

Taste of Summer Rancho Mirage begins tomorrow in Rancho Mirage, California- near Palm Springs!  Sponsored by the City of Rancho Mirage this event features 30 local restaurants.  Wristbands are $10 and the participating restuaruants will have $4 Drink specials, $4 Appetizers, and $4 Desserts.

Si Bon Rancho Mirage

 

Some of my favorite restaurants in the valley are participating including Si Bon, famous for it's Belgian Cuisine including a Lobster Taco made with a savory waffle! 

Another favorite is Norma's Italian Kitchen.  A true Mom and Pop Italian place that has a strong local following.

  • Brandini Toffee

Another favorite of mine that is participating in Taste of Summer Rancho Mirage is a locally owned business- Brandini Toffee.  It began with two high school kids making toffee to raise money for a trip to Italy.  They began selling toffee from a family recipe and it was in such demand that they started a small business.  It has grown into a thriving huge business!  Founded in the Palm Springs area, Brandini Toffee is enjoyed by chocolate-lovers and toffee aficionados around the world.  The family owned business as been a featured favorite on Oprah Winfrey's O List, The Martha Stewart Show, The Food Network, and has even been served to the President! It is featured for sale at our local Costco and it makes a perfect gift to give it to friends and family visiting so they can take home a sweet treat from the Coachella Valley.  The recipe has led to three Brandini Store Locations, a fast growing wholesale segment, and ships world wide!  Pretty good for a couple of local kids!

Good morning Kathy Schowe -  this is a great idea for a restaurant week.  I always love them no matter how they are planned.

Restaurants slow down here in the summer, and this gives them an opportunity to attract some summer business!

Hello Kathy - a lobster taco in a Belgian waffle - now, that is unique(at least to me).  Although rarely am I surprised by the enormous creativity found in many restaurants today.  Have a gastronomically good time at the Taste of Summer in Rancho Mirage.

Anna,


That was my intention with this post.... I wrote it late at night, and then didn't check on your contest rules!  But I'm pretty sure it qualifies now!  I'll be posting a few more of these too!  Kathy

These are such fun events and so great to sample local eateries all in one location. I loved the story of the toffee - that's very cool.

It's funny- the father of one of the partners was my computer consultant!

That lobster Taco looks absolutely scrumptious, Kathy.  It would be livin' high to sink your teeth into that!

They serve it all year- but it's probably on special during Taste of Rancho Mirage!
