Super tasty food!
Self taught chef, Dave Weisner creates impressive flavors and now enters into competition against formally trained chefs.
David (Dave) Weisner of Siena Bistro is one of the chefs going to be featured at the second annual Chefs of Compassion through West Valley Food Community Services.
The event draws 200+ people at $100 each to taste foods created by local chefs from selected ingredients found at the food bank. There are four courses and each chef is featured in a short film at the event held this year at Lexus of Steven Creek in San Jose.
Dave was filmed today (the one day a week Siena is closed- although we give him a hard time that he needs to be open on Mondays!) and the event is slated for September 14, 2012. Good food for a great cause!

For a fantastic sandwich piled high with fresh meat and fixin’s or a local steak to take home for dinner try a hidden treasure known as Willow Glen Meats and Smokehouse. Six years ago the Coletti family, namely Johnny Chiala, purchased Ralphs custom smoke house and renamed it Willow Glen Meats. Johnny is also the proprietor of of Los Gatos Meats and his son in law Jeff Coletti runs the Willow Glen smokehouse. Both Willow Glen Meats and Los Gatos Meats have a great reputaion for creating custom and local steaks, smoking meats, preparing meat from local farmers and wild game processing . If you are looking for a new place for lunch or would like to pick up something for dinner, shop local and give it a try.
