The Dude of Food met the chief of cheese, Joe Matos, in Santa Rosa. Joe has been making cheese since 1979.
To get to Joe Matos Cheese Factory you will need to go to the end of a small discreet road in Santa Rosa. Inside his shop you will find a sweet woman at the counter and tons of cheese wheels behind her. The aged cheese is really good. It was a pleasure to meet you Joe Matos and the Dude of Food thanks you for meeting me and for all that you do. Keep up the great work Joe.
If you love sushi then all you need to know is the above web address. This will lead you to a place called Hana Japanese Restaurant and the Best Sushi in California!! I had never heard of black throat mackerel and normally don’t like mackerel but this black throat mackerel is great. The blue fin tuna belly was so good I had seconds. Same with the black throat mackerel.
The special thing in a spoon was really good. It was all good. The chef is one of the best in the industry at his craft and has taught many other chefs. My bill was $100. for lunch and the Dude of Food could have easily gone bigger but my meal was awesome tasting and well worth the splurge.
If you are ever near Santa Rosa or in Rohnert Park, CA, go to this place and see for yourself what quality sushi is supposed to be like.
