El Gastrónomo Vagabundo is presented by partners Tamara Jensen and Adam Hynam-Smith, owners of Peapod Cuisine. "We've been watching the increasing popularity in mobile street food in L.A. and across the States. We think the Canadian diner is ready for high-end fare served from the window of a kitchen on wheels, and we wanted to be the first to bring it to them" says Hynam-Smith, an Australian ex-pat and the Chef of El Gastró. “We use bold flavours and we’re inspired by food that people don’t normally expect to eat at a winery. ”Once people get past the shock of eating five spice pork belly or Moroccan lamb tagine, and they try it with it’s intended pairing, Flat Rock's 2008 Gravity Pinot Noir, I think they realize the pairing is a match made in heaven.” Read the full story on what El Gastró is all about, and how it arrived at Flat Rock Cellars.
