Heather Irwin, food writer and fellow snarky redhead, from BiteClub Eats asks her readers to describe the perfect Sonoma County  layover.

“Outline a script for a Layover in Sonoma County. Trot out the really weird, funky stuff he’d see here. Suggest a dive bar spot for playing quarters with Doug Keane and Doug Richey (right?) while discussing the finer points of the foie gras ban. Where to get his hands dirty (I’m thinking Lou Preston would school him good). What other local food characters and shenanigans shall we put on display? Methinks a trip to Mark Maliki’s Casino might be in order? A little of Mateo’s hot sauce? A dive into the Hello Cello Limoncello vats? A trip to all of Guy’s favorite local DDD spots?”

Check out some of the comments for great off-the-beaten path activities to-do in Sonoma County and Enter to win Tickets for Anthony Bourdain’s upcoming show at the Wells Fargo Center on BiteClub Eats Santa Rosa.

I saw Anthony live a year and a half ago and was crying from laughing so hard… In addition, I left inspired.

Yeah, odd. A vegetarian leaving inspired after seeing Anthony Bourdain…. Hmmmm.

I will be planting my beer-drinking butt at the Russian River Brewing Company for the release of Pliny the Younger ALL day on Saturday, February 11th or else I might enter to win tickets.

Either way… Be on the lookout for my blog post about the “perfect day in Sonoma County” coming soon. Like I said. Bourdain has inspired me…
