Royal Fig Catering Company

Royal Fig is a fascinating, ambitious operation: It's part catering company, part food trailer (The Seedling Truck), and part tasting room (Harvest Tasting Room), each one ferociously dedicated to serving delicious farm fare. To give you an idea of the food, let's talk about Harvest: At a recent tasting, I tried the bacon-wrapped dates with Marcona almonds, as well as the pork pate with strawberry port jam. "Stop," I said to my dining companion mid-conversation, "open your mouth, and try this." Popping a pate-and-jam-spread slice into her mouth, she was at a loss for words after that. All we could both do was sit there and sigh.
