 Thanksgiving Desserts
Pastry Chef Robert LeSage at Sage on the Coast will bake fresh apple pies and pumpkin tortes for you to take home at Thanksgiving. The nine-inch apple pies are made with local tree-ripened apples and cost $25. The three-layered torte, with a custard base, whipped cream center and caramel pumpkin mousse top, is eight inches across and costs $30. Both will be available early in November.

Jubilee
When guests first wrote to the Zagat Guide to praise Sage Eastbluff, they called it “offbeat,” “eclectic,” “subtle,” and “sublime.” We blushed to have been seen so transparently ourselves. Sage Eastbluff’s ten year anniversary is Monday, December 3. To our loyal and forgiving, uncompromising and epicurean fans, consider this your invitation. Chef Rich will personally thank you for your years of support by uncorking some long-cellared wines and passing out goody bags. Should he use the occasion to announce the winners of the Sage Memories contest (yes, you still have time—tick, tock, people!—click here to submit your favorite Sage memory), have your short-but-gracious acceptance speech in your pocket. Looking forward to seeing you all!

 Just Taste
The Sage Eastbluff tasting menu, a cavalcade of small courses begun last month on Wednesdays to showcase the newest and best of the farmers’ market, will be extended to Monday through Thursday. It’s only fair. Now the overscheduled Eastbluffian can drop in and sample Chef Rich’s inimitable way with the gifts of the season four nights a week, for only $35, including dessert.

Guys Night Out
Chef Rich will be guest speaker, along with two of his favorite farmers and L.A. Times food writer Russ Parsons, at a colloquium November 15 at the Santa Monica Public Library titled Guys Night Out: How These Four Men Find Inspiration at the Santa Monica Farmers’ Market. The talk is free and open to the public, and Rich will provide the food afterward. The time is 7-9pm, in the Martin Luther King Auditorium. The library is at 601 Santa Monica Blvd, Santa Monica (310-458-8600). Farmers Phil McGrath of Camarillo and Alex Weiser of Lucerne will share the rostrum, explaining how the growth of the market for the choicest, ripest and rarest produce has changed the way they do business. Chef Rich will attest to, and provide examples of, the way fresh market produce raised the flavor profile of everything on the Sage menus. Come and support Chef Rich’s industry and idealism and hang out with a great bunch of guys!

 Market Excursion and Quarterly Farmhouse Dinner
Wednesday, November 14
For those of you who missed the original Farmers’ Market dinner in August, or who attended and now pine for a night as lavish, lengthy and improvisationally splendid, or for those who found unexpected delight in the collegiality of the communal table and the sense of bearing witness to something both ephemeral and profound, just wait. Chef Rich will throw a Farmhouse Dinner at Sage Eastbluff on November 14. To reserve a seat at the table or to coordinate with Rich to walk the Farmers’ Market with him that morning, call 949-718-9650.
