THE RANCH Restaurant and Saloon in Anaheim, California is one of the premiere dining establishments in all of Southern California.  It's Prime Steaks rival the best anywhere while it's award winning wine program is second to none.  But now THE RANCH Restaurant and Saloon has added top shelf spirits to it's portfolio! Brian and I take a road trip to THE RANCH Restaurant and Saloon and sit with Jeremy, the Director of Fine Spirits and Eddie, the Whiskey Captain, as they give us a little bit of history of the restaurant and saloon, but also take us on a whiskey journey through the Founders Flight!

1886 - A true Hub for the City of Orange! Opened just before the pandemic hit, @1886brewingco has quickly established itself as a place for #cityoforange residents can drink great craft beer, enjoy a creative menu, and watch a game! But @1886brewingco is the last thing from a sports bar. A beautiful environment has been created that welcomes beer lovers, foodies and families! The name comes from the year the building was built and the history has been kept in tact with hardwood floors and brick walls! Owner Mike Hernandez and his brewer Shaun Morgan talk with Brian and I about how 1886 came to be and what's next!!

When Brian and I paid a visit to Harley in Laguna Beach to talk with owner Chef Greg Daniel, it was very evident you were in for a unique experience.  The space is two stories, open concept, and has windows from floor to ceiling giving it a Northern Cal feel. But the fact he's located on Mermaid street brings you right back to Laguna!  Comfort food like Fried Chicken, Mac n Cheese and Biscuits and Gravy fill the menu along with fresh fish and choice meats.  The setting is to pay tribute to his Grandfather Harley, who he named the restaurant after, and create the comfort he felt walking into his Grandfather's home.  After an evening of dining, you are left wishing you knew Grandpa Harley personally!  Top shelf cocktails, craft beer and select wines are the perfect touch to a perfect evening.  Enjoy getting to know Chef Greg and make sure you put the Harley experience next on your list!

Welcome to a Frenchie's Friendsmas Feast featuring Docent Brewery on location at Heritage Barbecue! Yes Brian and I take a road trip to San Juan Capistrano to say hello to good friend Danny Castillo and are joined by the two Brian's from Docent (Brian Hendon and Bryan Giesen)! Docent is San Juan Capistrano's first brewery and public house and has taken on a  responsibility to give the community more than just a meeting place but a home away from home.  Find out how Docent lives by the 3 stars in their logo that represent 3 pillars - Craftsmanship, Community and Independence.  Join us for great food,  and brews as we sit on a picnic bench at Heritage Barbecue to have a few laughs with good friends.

This is true a family success story!  Meet Dave and Bree, who during the pandemic, were experimenting with making different types of bread that ended up being quite delicious. One loaf was sold, the word was out, and FKN Bread became a local favorite. Their home business has now moved into a storefront in San Juan Capistrano and the word continues spread! Incredible sourdough has grown into pastries and much more!  Brian and I stopped by for a visit and even had a chance to make some bread with Dave!  We know you enjoy these two and much as we did and find out the true meaning of FKN!

On the latest edition of the Frenchie's Friends Podcast presented by Green Cheek Beer, Brian and I talk with Sean Haggerty, owner and founder of Protector Brewery in San Diego and an American Veteran.  A Navy Seal for over a decade, Sean tells us how the idea for San Diego's first organic brewery came out of the need for a cold beer while fighting in Iraq.  Get ready for stories about his combat missions that have given Sean perspective and why no hurdle is too high and no problem is unsolvable. 

Come drink with us under the trees in Mammoth!  Brian and I travel to Mammoth Lakes for the 25th Annual Bluesapalooza where great beer, food and music meet the Eastern Sierras!  What a great day meeting incredible brewers and sampling beer from all over California.  On this latest edition of the Podcast, Brian and I chat with Victor Lester, Head Brewer at Mammoth Brewing Company, Steven Hicks, Head Brewer at Station Craft Brewery in Dana Point, and Robert Jon from Robert Jon and the Wreck who played both Saturday and Sunday!
Cheers to great beer, great music and great friends!
