Best of the Rest of Big Sur

Okay, I finally got around to reading the Best of Monterey County issue of the MC Weekly and ran across The Best Bartender (Ira Comello) and knew I had to do this post. I noted a number of other wonderful contributions to what makes this county, and Big Sur, unique. I’d like to pay tribute to them

First, has to be the iconic gateway.

But the one that caught my eye, was Best Bartender – Ira ComelloWhile not living here at the moment, he grew up here, his dad lives here, he graduated from Pacific Valley School, AND I taught him in High School!
