A chef’s secret weapon in sourcing exotic produce items is Kerry Clasby known as the Intuitive Forager. Kerry is beloved in the Los Angeles and Las Vegas hospitality communities. She has her own farm in Malibu as well as procuring from farmers markets all over California.
“Aggregator, educator, public speaker, published writer, and acclaimed forager, Kerry Clasby is the founder of Intuitive Forager, a professional foraging, farmers market, and retail company.

Her awarding winning Farmers Markets are an extension of Kerry’s commitment to bring the same farm-to-table produce to ‘community.’”
“Always an active proponent of great food along with sustainability and a healthy lifestyle, Kerry continues to forage on with lots of projects in the works – including new and exciting things at the Intuitive Foragers Farmers Markets (Downtown 3rd Farmers Market on Friday) in Las Vegas, and The Farm at Malibu – which now includes a Farmstand!”

3rd generation restaurateur Andy Baumann of Tom Ham’s Lighthouse previews the event. He is the Restaurant Chair for San Diego Restaurant Week as part of the San Diego Chapter of the California Restaurant Association.
“Tom Ham’s Lighthouse, a classic seafood restaurant, opened for business in 1971. An actual functioning lighthouse, known as Beacon #9 on any USCG Nautical Map, was incorporated into the design. The result is one of San Diego’s best- known architectural landmarks.”
“Besides the Lighthouse, Tom Ham’s is also famous for its eye-catching vistas of the San Diego Bay, Coronado Bridge and San Diego skyline. Today, the restaurant is operated by a second and third generation of Hams who continue the tradition of fine dining and exceptional service that represents a culmination of the interests and visions of the Californian whose name it bears.”
“Grab your family, friends and co-workers and experience incredible cuisine at over 200 local restaurants across San Diego. Just browse the list of restaurants and menus, make your reservations and enjoy! There are no tickets or passes required.”
“Food lovers may simply dine out at as many participating restaurants as they like during San Diego Restaurant Week, explore new dining opportunities or enjoy old favorites. Advance reservations are strongly recommended and can be made by calling restaurants directly or visiting their profile online.”
