Sonoma: Authentic Italian from Various Regions
This unique find specializes in authentic Italian cuisine from the regions of Sicily, Campania, Calabria, Basilicata and Puglia. It's creative and the menu changes often. The restaurant owners used mostly local ingredients that are fresh in season.

Organic and Great!
I selected this restaurant with TNT/NASCAR.com's Sarah Phillips in mind! Chef /Owner Carlo Cavallo gets much of the restaurants produce from a local farm. This place keys on fresh organic ingredients. The crabs and lobster are great as well as a full menu of Southern French & Northern Italian Regional Cuisine.

TNT's Alix Jones and John South tell us that when at the track in Sonoma, it is a MUST to find the vendor that sells Shawarma. It's basically a yummy Middle-Eastern Taco full of deliciousness!
Sonoma: Schellville Grill
THIS is the place to hit if you are going to Sonoma!!!! Homestyle Cooking with a twist. Italian Food too. What can't you get? Great smoked items done in their outdoor smoker. Are you kidding me? This place has been featured on Triple-D. So if that doesn't make you want it... I dont know what will? Gotta do the Tri-Tip sandwich.

Sonoma: Ad Hoc
This unusual restaurant has a menu that changes daily. Opened originally as a temporary sort of restaurant experiment, the place took off and is now a very popular place for home cooked meals. Don't expect cheap prices but do expect AMAZING food including their famous buttermilk fried chicken. The name Ad Hoc means "For This Purpose"

Sonoma: Hurley's Restaurant & Bar
This place comes highly recommended by NASCAR producer Ben Reed. Executive chef Bob Hurley has created a place that serves wine country cuisine "with Mediterranean Flair." Where else can you have great win and Wild Boar? This place is creative. Creativity comes with a price... it is not cheap. Reservations are recommended as well.

Road America: The Paddock Club
Excecutive Chef Lyn Chisolm and her staff has made The Paddock Club into an overnight success and a must if visiting the Elkart Lake area. A creative menu and popular wine-list awaits you when you enter this historic building. Lyn showed us in our video segment last year that the building itself, riddled with history, adds to the restaurant's unique flavor.
Check out the little hot dog stand in the alley next to Paddock Club. They operate that as well and it's a good late night spot.
