Ep 126: Paso’s First Michelin Star – Featuring Six Test Kitchen
🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷
In this episode, we take a flavorful detour off the vineyard path and into the heart of Paso’s culinary scene with Chef Ricky Odbert—owner of Six Test Kitchen and the first to earn San Luis Obispo County its very first Michelin Star. From cooking in his parents’ garage in Arroyo Grande to building one of the most exclusive dining experiences in California wine country, Ricky shares his journey, his approach to creativity, and what it means to operate with discipline and vision.
In the Travel Paso Spotlight, we’re joined by Adri Wells, founder of Central Coasting with Adri, who’s helping Paso businesses thrive with powerful content and creative social media strategies. It’s the third week in a row we’re highlighting women-led businesses for Women’s History Month!
