California Cuisine

At the heart of all great food is fresh, local, peak of the season ingredients. Brian and Paul spent more than a year handpicking the sources for Paul Martin’s® menu. The thorough search produced 40 partnerships with thoughtful, local farmstead producers, 80 percent of whom are located in Northern California – providing fine California Cuisine.
