The Tomahawk for Two: a grand cut, perfectly charred, meant to be savored slowly. A feast for the senses, and a memory in the making.

It all started with a Monterey T-shirt and a chance conversation in a New Orleans coffee shop.

When Gus Miltenberger ( on TikTok) shared the story of a stranger who approached him about Monterey, despite Gus never having visited, his video took off. His followers even helped fund his first trip from New Orleans to Monterey!

We had the pleasure of welcoming Gus to The Sardine Factory on his first night in town for a tour of the restaurant and our downstairs w**e cellar, followed by drinks and dessert in the lounge.

Welcome to Monterey, Gus! We hope your visit gives you plenty of stories to share the next time someone asks about that Monterey T-shirt!
