Cuyama Buckhorn Makes Santa Barbara’s High Desert a Dining Destination
“The Pickle Plate” might not sing a siren song from a menu. But if you’re dining at Cuyama Buckhorn Restaurant and Bar, the dish’s simplicity certainly should. Banish any thought of boring retro relish trays. Instead, admire its directness, its delivery of just enough vinegary sour to highlight the vegetables’ intrinsic sugar that’s often easy to ignore. Appreciate texture — the snap of carrot, the lush flesh of red pepper, the bristle of broccoli florets. Notice your appetite awaken in fuller ways than it might usually.

State Grant to Help Get Low-Income Riders on E-Bikes in Santa Barbara
At a time when e-bike traffic has stirred up an abiding sense of collective consternation in some quarters, the City of Santa Barbara’s electric bike-share franchisee — BCycle — is expanding its service capacity to better serve low-income residents with a notable lack of any controversy. Last week, the City Council voted to accept a $1.5 million state grant that will help BCycle and City Hall cover the costs of fielding 50 additional e-bikes — and 100 additional bike docks — in downtown-adjacent neighborhoods. Currently, the company — owned by the Trek bicycle company — stations 250 e-bikes on the streets of Santa Barbara and 500 docking stations where bikes are picked up and turned in.
