Not only did we get to eat
avocados in many inventive ways, thanks to the Chef Gabriel Garcia of Tierra Sur at Herzog Wine Cellars, Chef Joseph Antonishek Industriel and Chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken of The Border
Grill, but we also had the privilege of touring a
beautiful and prolific
avocado grove owned by Jim Lloyd Butler (the gentleman in the middle in the photo below).
This year, I opted for a salad, complete with
beautiful grilled pineapple, chunks of creamy
avocado, crunchy cucumber and loads of crisp, fresh lettuce.
