If you ever lose a bet and have to eat a hat, have this man's number on speed dial. At least it would be an appetizing hat.
Faced with the daunting challenge of turning a mess of ingredients into something appetizing, Chef Jonathan Toste of Willard Hicks Grill in Downtown Campbell wins a cooking cage match at the Gilroy Garlic Festival by magically turning Spam, Dole Fruit Cocktail, Cucumber, and Squash Blossoms into something you'd want to share on your Instagram account before you devoured it.
Mmmmm, Dole Fruit Cocktail and Spam. Seriously, Mr. Toste, Willy Wonka has nothin on you.
The Mercury News has the details of the two recipes that earned Bossman Toste the top prize.

Last night was a mild and balmy night in Northern California. It was the perfect night to enjoy the evening out dining on the sidewalk at Tessora's Barra di Vino or one of the other numerous restaurants in Downtown Campbell. Nights like these were made for friends and wine and the watching of people as they drift along in the slowest minutes of summer.

Alvarado Street Brewery and Grill is pleased to announce that Jeremiah Tydeman, 37, joined our team last month and has already been making some great changes to the existing menu, overhauling the burger, mac 'n cheese, fish tacos, and introducing the wildly popular new carnitas tacos. Right now he's gearing up to launch a new, seasonal fall menu by mid-September.
Tydeman grew up in Half Moon Bay and worked as a aircraft technician for 8 years after serving in the Navy before he discovered his passion for the cooking. He earned a Culinary Arts degree from the Institute of Technology in Roseville in 2006 and began cooking under Chef Richard Reddington at Redd Restaurant in Napa Valley. Tydeman would go on to cook at two other Michelin Star restaurants in the area, including La Toque and Sante Restaurant in Sonoma before ending up at The Bench in Pebble Beach where he was the Sous Chef for three years.
While he considers his cooking style a hybrid of California and French fare, Tydeman is influenced by Italian and Mediterranean cuisine and is very drawn to the bold, bright flavors of Southeast Asian culinary traditions. His basic philosophy encompasses a wide range of flavors and celebrates classic dishes that are simply prepared but done well. Head Brewer JC Hill and Tydeman will be working closely together to marry the food and beer offerings at Alvarado Street, with the goal of giving guests the ultimate sensory experience.
Alvarado Street Brewery is pleased to announce that we’ve been awarded two more medals this year, this time at the crowded field at the 2015 California State Fair in Sacramento.
Minesweeper IPA took second place honors in the American IPA category in a field of 141 other entries. Triple Cone, our annually brewed Triple IPA, was awarded second place among 79 entries in the Imperial IPA category. In all, over 1,000 beers were judged at this year's California State Fair, making it one of the largest Commerical Craft Beer competitions on the West Coast.
Earlier in the year, Alvarado Street Brewery was awarded four medals at the Los Angeles International Beer Competition (Gold for Monterey Common and Mai Tai PA, Silver for Minesweeper IPA and Milk Stout) and two medals at the San Diego International Beer Competition (Gold for Smokestack Lightning Smoked IPA, Silver for Alta California Pale Ale). We're hoping to carry this momentum to the 2015 Great American Beer Fest in Denver this fall!
Every Monday and Tuesday at Red's Donuts, regular donuts only cost $5 a dozen...while they last! (Regular price, $7 a dozen.) Red's Donuts at 433 Alvarado Street in Monterey: making real, handmade donuts since 1950.
This is quite humorous and quite legend... I was browsing Instagram and noticed some familiar looking donuts posted to the account of the Encinitas Farmer's Market. That would be the Encinitas, CA that's near San Diego. They were photos of donuts from Psycho Donuts in Downtown Campbell. Apparently one of their managers was up here and visited Psycho Donuts and was so smitten that she had to post about it to the fans for the Encinitas Farmer's Market.
Yup, we're all about the donuts here... today at least. Not a bad lot to be in. Thanks to Encinitas Station Certified Farmer's Market for the shout out and thanks for the photo. We'll have to come visit you next time.

Check out the packed dance floor at the July 16th show of the 2015 Campbell Summer Concert Series with the Cocktail Monkeys getting their glam rock on. It didn't seem like it'd be a Def Leppard sort of crowd, but I guess history shows a quarter century on, big hair and a loud guitar ain't no crime after all.
