Share

Ever wonder what a local restaurant offers, but been hesitant to check it out? Savour RB is your opportunity to do just that.

The eighth annual Savour RB food fair will be 5 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20 in Bernardo Heights Country Club, 16006 Bernardo Heights Parkway in Rancho Bernardo.

This is a community-wide event put on by the Rancho Bernardo Business Association. Tickets are $30 per person in advance or $35 at the door. RBBA members are free. To purchase tickets in advance, call 858-451-3406 or send an email to Joyce@rbbaconnect.com.

Larry McIntyre, RBBA’s executive director, said organizers are expecting more than 500 attendees. Due to the large crowd, free valet parking will be provided.

McIntyre said they are anticipating 25 or more local restaurants and businesses will participate. As of Monday, those confirmed were Athens Market Café, Barons Marketplace, The Barrel Room, Baskin Robbins, Bernardo Heights Country Club, Bernard’O Restaurant, Bernardo Winery, Big Dev’s Down Home BBQ, Café Merlot, Carvers Steaks & Chops, The Gateway, Highland Valley Vineyards, Jersey Mike’s, Kaminski’s BBQ and Sports Lounge, Manzanita Roasting Company, Roma Market, Round Table Pizza and Souplantation.

Unlike in previous years, the new Rancho Bernardo Honorary Mayor will not be announced at Savour RB. Instead, the winner — and those for the grand prizes — will be announced at RBBA’s November mixer. However, Savour RB will be one of the last opportunities to support candidates Tina Cota and Kevin Martin by purchasing votes for them. Each vote, sold for $5 each or six for $25, will be an entry into the grand prize drawing. Winners need not be present at the November mixer.

The first place prize is a two-night stay at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, which includes a round of golf and breakfast for two. Second place is four $75 gift certificates — one each to Athens Market Cafe, Bernard’O Restaurant, Café Merlot and Carvers Steaks & Chops — a combined value of $300. Third place is two $75 gift certificates — one each to The Barrel Room and Urge American Gastropub — a combined value of $150.

If not going to Savour RB, but wanting to enter the drawing, contact Cota, at tinacota4RBmayor@gmail.com and Martin at KevinMartinRBMayor@gmail.com.
