From a gluten-free bakery on State Street to a salt cave carved from the Himalayas, to feet in the Pacific off a 150-year-old wharf.

Windmills, warm æbleskiver, and a Santa Ynez Valley town that decided, one bakery at a time, to become the most Danish place in America.

A drive down Highway 1 to a 150-year-old ranch where a barn built like an upside-down ship still stands, and the goats outnumber the visitors.

From a museum exhibit built around her batterie de cuisine to a working culinary garden at the CIA, a day tracing the valley's food story — one stop, one bite at a time.
