this is the first time I have seen abalone prepared properly on youtube. my dad and godfather would dive for ab when I was a kid and this is so close to how they would prepare it. kept it in sea water at the right temp, top cut off, pounded, and ensuring the ab is stress free to minimize chewiness. really refreshing to see this norcal technique of cooking the ab being preserved and shared. absolute master class chef.

“An easy day is a day you’re not moving forward” My husband and I went to this restaurant just a few days ago and as someone who cooks pretty regularly, I am floored by how much work they put into every dish. It’s not just the crafting of the dishes, but growing and harvesting the ingredients, using ingredients that are just outside their door in unique ways while also representing the Northern California coastline spirit, and not being tempted to use typical luxury ingredients like caviar. I appreciate they don’t cut corners and take a very curated approach to each dish and they stick to their principles on how they approach food in a sustainable way. I’m from Nor*Cal and the coastline is the prettiest in the world in my opinion, and every dish is an homage to the beauty and essence of its natural beauty. You really cannot find a restaurant like this let alone recreate these dishes. I’m also beyond impressed that they provide a non-alcoholic drink pairing where they take the exact same meticulous approach as they do with any other drink or dish. Also, Douglas Fir tea anyone? I didn’t think it was possible. I’m looking to come back in the summer time to see what their menu brings.

“Grab some ocean for salt”. Did my man just produced his own salt? I get that he harvest some vegetables, but it’s a whole new level if he makes his own salt from sea water.

He did! He made most of his own salt, it just didn't make it into the video.

We stayed a few nights at the inn, every day in the morning you could see them drying out the seaweed and scraping away sea snails and cleaning it, they make everything in there. Also there’s deer that live in the backyard (a mother and a baby) and they’re adorable to see in the morning trying to steal from the little garden they have there

It's really easy to "make" your own salt. Did it with a 5 gallon jug of Big Sur ocean water. Let it evaporate in the back yard in a pan and you just "made" salt.

I love that they source everything locally and they know how to handle their ingredients. Like I would have never thought about making sure abalone isn't stressed. I would love to try this place one day when I can afford it. Seems like a lot of the other fancy restaurants in these videos they all use a lot of caviar and truffle shavings when it doesn't seem like it's necessary but they're just doing it because they're supposed to.

@@NeillNorcal they can accommodate 25 guest a night at $265 per person plus tax/gratuity, that's about 7k per night not including the alcoholic/non alcoholic pairings, in-room dinner option or the lunch option. Given majority of their ingredients are sourced locally, from their farm or their ocean farm, I would take a guess and say they are doing well profit wise.

@@reject11soccer yeah but look at the amount of talented staff they have working more than full time.... Let alone a dedicated farm team.... Even at 7k a night (which isn't much) no way they're profitable.... Labor alone would eat that up.... Chef mid video said the room rates at the Inn supplemented them enough to get them through their first winter. Elk really is the middle of nowhere. Not enough deep pocketed locals to keep that going without the Hotel guests and people traveling hours to dine there. Don't get me wrong the place is stunning and I would love to dine (or even work) there! But money making? No way!
