I’m spending the week in Santa Barbara and had the pleasure of eating and drinking at The Hungry Cat. The restaurant is small and informal, with a menu focused on seafood. I had clams with chorizo, a combination I first encountered ten years ago at Olive’s (Todd English’s fine restaurant in Boston).  It was fantastic and I intend to return tonight. The only disappointment was that they were out of sea urchin.

One of the reasons for returning, other than the excellent food, is to get more information about the bartender, who made us a couple of absolutely fantastic drinks. Mine was a bourbon concoction, infused with cinnamon and nutmeg. I’ll try to pry the full recipe out of her tonight. Ditto for Shannon’s Sidecar-style libation.

In any case, even if I can’t get more details on the preparation, should you find yourselves in Santa Barbara you should definitely stop by The Hungry Cat.
