Chef Drew Deckman, Deckman’s, Valle de Guadalupe
We visit the open air, wood-fired kitchen of Deckman’s, and talk to Chef-owner Drew Deckman about connecting with local producers. He shows us how he prepares Grilled Whole Sardines with Cabbage and Smoked Tomatoes. Deckman’s Grilled Quail with Black Beans, Pickled Radish, Purslane, Chorizo and Pumpkin Seed Powder and Pipian Sauce has become the restaurant’s signature dish. Lastly, he shows us one of his favorite dishes: Striped Bass with Asparagus, Tomatoes, Fried Espazote, Clams, and Birria Sauce.
