| During a recent trip to Paso Robles wine country I | | | | written menu on a chalkboard with fresh fruit and |
| had the opportunity to eat at a local restaurant, | | | | veggies for sale to the right of the room as well |
| named Farmstand 46. | | | | as the standard stand up refrigerator which |
| Situated where the 46 Freeway meets vineyard | | | | shows their drink options which do not include any |
| drive, much in the middle of wine country | | | | type of nationally known soda brand. |
| Farmstand 46 offers some of the best local, | | | | So after ordering we took a seat outside and |
| organic flavorful dining anywhere in California. It | | | | about five minutes later our name was called. My |
| stands off highway 46 which is the largest east | | | | roast beef sandwich was simply put, one of the |
| west road through Paso Robles wine country, | | | | best sandwich's of my life. It included the standard |
| despite this fact it can be easy to miss because it | | | | shredded roast beef, horseradish sauce (mayo?) |
| is set back significantly off the road. | | | | and then a couple of more interesting inclusions |
| Having been referred to the restaurant by a wine | | | | including grilled bell peppers and slightly caramelized |
| maker, we were told to try their sandwich named | | | | onions. The combination of sweet and savory |
| "The Goat". Unfortunately the pork sandwich was | | | | from those added ingredients truly made the |
| already sold out, so I gave the roast beef a try. | | | | sandwich one to remember. |
| The restaurant has ample parking (which is shares | | | | I believe it is the mark of a good dining |
| with a small wine tasting room for a local winery) | | | | experience when you initially see the menu and |
| also gives you a look into a small on site farm | | | | think to yourself, this must be an overpriced |
| that the restaurant runs. With little to no seating | | | | tourist trap. Then, you try the food and think to |
| inside you order at the counter which has a hand | | | | yourself, wow. |
