A nature hike, cooking with Top Chef or photo session with Nigel Barker?

These are the decisions the Traveling Hillbilly must make for how to spend a Saturday.   How does one choose when those are the options?   But do I really need to choose?  It won’t make for a nice relaxing day in Big Sur, but it could be one fun filled day that creates a lot of great memories.   And it does.   We start the morning off with a nice guided hike through the area and get back just in time to take a cooking class with one of the former contestants from Top Chef.   Unfortunately the lesson involved mainly seafood dishes, not exactly the Traveling Hillbilly’s favorite food type.  

My cerviche, looks good but yuck!

The real Chef!

Then it’s off to a photo session with the renowned photographer, Nigel Barker.   Of course, there is wine and champagne involved and lots of great people around.  It turns out to be quite fun, much more so than I anticipated and we all have a great time.

 Now it’s time for dinner!   Time to eat again?   Surprisingly I’m actually feeling a little hungry.
