Today on Up+Adam, we’ve got the exclusive first look at The Staviary—a brand new food and beer experience coming to downtown Paso Robles. Chef Rachel Ponce and brewmaster Eric Ponce join Adam to announce their long-awaited concept, opening behind the park in one of the most exciting new developments in town. From Michelin-star buzz to glassware from Belgium, these two are bringing something fresh, personal, and deeply soulful to the Central Coast.

In this first half of their interview, we dig into the origin story of The Staviary—from the made-up name that means everything to them, to how they landed their dream location. We talk concept, menu ideas, and what makes the beer program so unique—plus, Eric and Rachel share stories from Chicago, their travels abroad, and why this project feels like the one they were always meant to build. It’s part one of a majestic two-parter.

Today’s Interview: What does it mean to build a dynasty…and what does it cost to keep one? On today’s Up+Adam, Adam chats with former ESPN NBA reporter and Dub Dynasty host Israel Gutierrez to unpack the real story behind the Golden State Warriors. Yeah, we talk Steph, Draymond, Kerr, and Durant, buuuuut this convo isn’t just for the basketball heads. It’s for anyone who’s ever been curious about what makes greatness stick.

Even if you haven’t caught a single game this postseason (same), this is one of those stories that cuts deeper than sports. It’s about culture, ego, evolution—and how a franchise known for splash plays quietly became a masterclass in leadership and loyalty. We also dig into LeBron’s late-stage legacy, Luka’s rise, and yes… the weirdest legal take you’ll ever hear about free throws.
