This just in from readers Krista and Tony in Goleta:
Hi John,
Hope you’re recovering well. The last blog post has become too clogged with well wishes ( a good thing) so any new news gets lost. When you’re feeling better I hope you’ll report that Meat and Potatoes [at 4444 Hollister Ave, Goleta] out near the Creekside has changed into The Bourbon Room. Similar menu but the lower prices have been upped due to (as I’m told by staff) a higher quality ingredient list. We got some take out and boy the quality of the steaks we definitely excellent and we can’t wait to go back for a sit-down dinner.
Feel Better man
Thanks Krista & Tony. It appears that a lot of horizontal time allowed my body to repair itself. It’s good to be back.


Welcome back, JD!
