bernal has defeated incumbent lamar hernandez thorpe by a margin of 2 to 1. this was the most expensive mayoral race in the city's history. earlier today on abc seven news, we spoke with the mayor elect about his vision and priorities for the city. >> we're going to need to make sure to definitely address the public safety issue and the hundred plus vacancies the city has. you know, we have over 400 full time employees, and there's over 100 vacancies. we can't run a government in a city of 115,000 people. with that many vacancies, and with over 40 of them being in the police officer roles. so we have a job to do to reestablish the trust of our community. >> bernal has held various jobs in the city's government for two decades, including city manager top california. >> leaders say they are getting ready for donald trump's potentially sweeping plans when he takes office in january. >> governor gavin newsom is calling for a special legislative session, and attorney general rob bonta says

>> attorney general rob bonta says for months he's talked to attorneys general and other states, preparing, planning and strategizing for the possibility of donald trump returning to the white house. bonta says they're anticipating trump will go after immigrant and lgbtq plus communities, roll back environmental protections and restrict access to reproductive care. bonta says he has already drafted litigation to respond. >> preparation is the best antidote, and we have long been preparing for this moment. >> governor gavin newsom has issued a proclamation convening a special session of the state legislature next week to, quote, safeguard california values and fundamental rights in the face of the incoming trump administration. newsom says the special session will focus on bolstering legal resources to protect civil rights, reproductive freedom, climate action and immigrant families. newsom released a statement reading, the freedoms we hold dear in california are under attack and we won't

sit idle. california has faced this challenge before, and we know how to respond. we are prepared to fight in courts, and we will do everything necessary to ensure californians have the support and resources they need to thrive. but there are indications those california values are held by fewer and fewer californians. the latest returns show 40% of californians voted for trump tuesday. compare that to 34% in 2020. in response to the governor's call for a special session, assembly republican leader james gallagher released a statement saying that the special session is a, quote, shameless political stunt and that the only problem it will solve is gavin newsom's insecurity that not enough people are paying attention to him. in the newsroom, suzanne vaughn abc seven news thank you. >> suzanne and suzanne showed us the map comparing the california presidential vote in 2020 and 2024. and while california is still firmly a blue state, there does appear to be a shift. 2020 is in the middle. behind me

this year is on the right. abc seven news reporter anser hassan spoke with some bay area republicans who are celebrating the win. reporter on a recent trump campaign stop to the bay area, the self-proclaimed san francisco maga mama was out in full support. >> she is ecstatic trump will be president again. >> all i want to do is make america great again. like te only black girl who's very big on trump. reporter nancy is a san francisco resident born in kenya, now a u.s. citizen. >> she says that support stems from social policies that she believes president trump will deliver on. >> i live in san francisco. there's nothing you can be able to do here if you do not embrace the lgbt narrative policies. he will also be able to protect and keep women out of men, out of women's sports, which is very, very big for us as women. >> as president elect trump prepares to return to office, many pequannock and oakland resident says trump's growing strong message.

>> with donald trump, you saw, first of all, a man who's committed to the development of the working people of america, and he's committed to world peace. >> despite some of president trump's comments that have been criticized for being racist and misogynistic, petchenik doesn't believe that's who trump really is. she says, look to his america first policies for real evidence to create and discover new scientific principles and trump's commitment to the space program. >> you know, that's why his collaboration with elon musk is so important. >> i think there's a general feeling in the country that that folks want change. joe biden was not it. and as a reason, harris was not it. and a lot of folks have put their faith in trump shaking things up in a new direction for them. >> professor nolan higdon says california fits into the national trend, where the big issues are still crime, housing and immigration. because it's a blue state, it's easy to blame democrats. he even points out how president biden started to turn some of trump's rhetoric into actual policy. >> the democrats shifted from

like, you know, basically advocating for open borders to some closure. they shifted from saying that critiques of china were racist to saying, you know, china is a competitor and enemy in the east bay. >> anser hassan abc seven news. >> now coming up at 430. how things could change for silicon valley come january. and how it's already benefiting some tech billionaires. >> all right, back to our top story. the new numbers for san francisco mayor are now in. let's check in with our monica madden live again at city hall. monica. >> it honestly was a little bit of a shift in the numbers i've got. i'm pulling it up right now, so bear with me. okay, so before in the first final round, after a couple rounds of the ranked choice voting, we had mayor london breed. she was at 43.66%. now she's at 43.8%. so just slightly getting a few more there. and then lurie. now he is at 56.2. previously he was at 56.34. so this has really barely

moved in the last we just got. these numbers are from like 24,000 ballots. so still waiting on a lot of the ballots to get processed. the absentee ones. but already we are hearing that the san francisco chronicle is calling the race in favor of favor of daniel lurie. so we'll have to see. we're going to be checking in with the mayor's office about if you know, she plans to concede or not. but these numbers really barely moved the needle on this race. but of course, you know, lurie is still having a sizable lead over the incumbent. so we'read going to be standing by to see what happens in terms of if we hear lurie declare victory now with this latest set. but you know, we know that there were 157,000 ballots that still got to be processed. this latest data dump was only 24,000. so we will be standing by. but again, the san francisco chronicle is looking to project daniel lurie as the next mayor of our city. kristen. >> larry, monica, do we know what is still outstanding or what could potentially still change that? because if this is

the final round and he's got 56% more than the majority in a two way race at this point, then he should have it right? >> right? right. i mean, right after this, we're going to be going and going to talk to the director of the department of elections. but doing kind of the rough math. we were waiting on, you know, some 157,000 ballots. so we've got probably 130 ballots that still have to be counted. but when you're looking at the difference in the scale, it is looking likely like lurie could be the winner. so we got to go check up with everyone as soon as we're done with this live shot. but it does look like that is going to be the next mayor of our city. >> all right, we'll let you go get more vicious with your phone again and maybe go track down some of the elections officials. monica, really appreciate this latest update. thank you. new developments in a story we're following closely as well. the dispute over the oakland airport name change. a hearing was held today over the decision to rename it san francisco bay oakland international airport. san francisco says that violates the city's trademark for sfo,

which goes by san francisco international airport and has for decades. it is asking a judge to issue a temporary injunction and stop oakland from keeping that name. we'll have more on this story on abc seven news at five. >> coming up here at four. high winds continue to fuel that massive fire that's burning in southern california. we'll tell you what we know right now. a sigh of relief here in the bay area as the red flag warning expires. and later celebrating 100 years of art at the legion of honor. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. lighter breeze and mild and sunny weather today. i'll let you know what changes are coming for your weekend and beyond. wh

mountain fire continues to burn. this afternoon, ventura county is under an extremely critical wildfire warning, and thousands of people under evacuation orders. reporter sophie flay is tracking the fire's growth, but we'll start with abc news reporter melissa oden in ventura county. >> extreme santa ana winds fueling wildfires in southern california. the massive mountain fire broke out wednesday and has already burned more than 14,000s acres and destroyed dozens of homes. >> we are still at zero containment as we're still focusing on life, safety and structure defense. >> reporter the fast moving flames devastating the city of

camarillo in just a few hours. >> we counted 83 homes that have been destroyed. and i'm afraid that number is going to be much closer to 100, because it's hard for us to get a perfect count. >> steve taylor's home reduced to a pile of ash and debris, started hosing down the roof, and then it just started coming and they started evacuating us. thick smoke filling the skies, the blaze being fueled by dry and windy conditions. gusts up to 70 miles an hour. >> do what you need to do to save lives. >> first responders going door to door, helping to rescue people trapped by the fire. >> this is our community. our home. all the first responders who are working here, live here and are responsible for this community as well. we want to ensure everyone's safety. so please stay out of the area if you do not need to be here. >> fire crews from across southern california aress struggling to save as many homes as possible. >> they were overwhelmed. they were overwhelmed by just the ferocity of this wind and the

sheer magnitude of it. and it all happened in such a short amount of time. >> conditions here in ventura county are just incredibly windy and blustery. it is making it that much more challenging for firefighters trying to get a hold on this massive blaze. melissa dawn, abc news, camarillo, california. >> and now to reporter sophie flay from our sister station in los angeles, jumping south mountain road in santa paula as firefighters rush to stop the spread. >> the mountain fire making its way into this community from moorpark. the culprit? the santa ana winds. >> it's like trying to put out a blowtorch with a squirt gun. >> this fire already claiming multiple homes in this area, including don de leon's. >> first it skipped us and it started burning our neighbor's house past us. we thought we were okay. evacuated anyway. and today came back and the house was gone. >> don and her husband and their six pets slept in their car last night, only managing to save a

few items, photos and sd cards and the smallest things. >> one bag of clothes. >> as a former props and costume designer, you can tell creativity flowed through don's 100 year old home. now a 30 year collection of disney toys, hundreds of costumes and countless memories gone. her daughter lives in a house nearby. they're hoping that home remains untouched. >> so we're just processing as we go. and if this other house survives, then we're okay. if not, then i don't know. >> a difficult situation in southern california. >> yeah, it really is. but thankfully, here our winds have died down quite a bit. >> let's get the latest from abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel. hi, sandhya. >> hi, there. yeah, larry and kristen, let's take a look at the conditions in southern california. then we'll talk about our local weather. red flag warnings locally dropped, but not the case in southern california. red flag warnings are still going for ventura

county until 11 a.m. tomorrow in los angeles county as well. take a look at the conditions there. 74 degrees. the winds have really dropped off, but the humidity is still low 12%. and i just checked some of the reports. some of the hilltops and canyons are still reporting gusts 30 to 40 miles an hour. so at the lower elevations, certainly lighter winds right now los angeles 14 miles an hour. as we go, hour by hour, i should say, in the next hour, really light winds later on tonight and then heading into tomorrow, they are expecting lighter winds, which should definitely help the firefighters with that fire. conditions are improving, and the reason for that is that area of low pressure is pushing off to the east. high pressure not so close together with the low. so we're not in a windy pattern. the winds are light. here we do have a system coming our way, and that's going to be dropping out of the gulf of alaska. and we're going to be seeing some changes. we'll talk about that in just a moment.

right now on live doppler seven clear skies. you can see it here from our south beach camera. 69 in the city. it is really mild from oakland to hayward in the low 70s along with redwood city. 74 right now in san jose. and notice the trees are not really blowing around along the embarcadero from our kgo roof camera. 74 in santa rosa, 68 in petaluma. right now in the low 70s for concord and livermore, san jose showing you a bright view tomorrow. mild and sunny again. your weekend outlook. more clouds drizzle. chance on sunday, but we're not expecting any widespread rain until monday, which is veteran's day. and it will be breezy as well. your morning temperatures 30s and 40s. bundle up before you head out the door because it will definitely be a chilly one tomorrow afternoon. we're going to have some patchy fog along the coast and higher clouds as well. other than that, it's going to be a nice sunny, mild one with mid 60s to the mid 70s. now we're going to fast forward to what's coming our way. so tomorrow morning we get that fog right along the north bay coastline heading into the weekend increasing cloud cover. and you will notice

that by sunday morning a few showers or drizzle showing up just off the coast so we could see a little bit of moisture making its way across parts of the bay area. but that's not a game changer. now, as we head into monday, here comes the rain. the second system that is going to bring us a wet day and certainly breezy as well. rain snow mix for the sierra. and then there are other systems coming our way after that one. so through sunday night not much, a couple hundredths maybe from drizzle. here comes that rain on monday and most of you will be between a quarter to three quarters of an inch, so we'll take it. accuweather seven day forecast. chilly morning followed by a mild afternoon. once again, the cloud cover increases over the weekend. temperatures do come down on saturday and then on veteran's day we do have the opportunity for some wet weather next week. we are looking at going into a kind of unsettled pattern. so kristen and larry thingsl be changing, right? yeah. >> enjoy 70 and sunny while you

can. >> that's so nice. >> thank you for spoiling it. you're welcome. >> all right. before you get together with friends and family this holiday season, san francisco health officials want you to get vaccinated. staff from the city department of health gathered today to spread the word to help stop the spread. they're asking everyone six months and older to get vaccinated against covid 19 and the flu. they say cases certainly are currently low in san francisco, but that you might still need the protection. and it does take a couple of weeks to kick in and cases have been a little higher, at least towards the end of summer. and they are urging everybody to get the vaccine if they're over six months or older. >> all right. >> about 25,000 votes now. ballots. >> let's listen to john, which is going represents almost 100,000 cars because we have a four card ballot in san francisco. >> so we didn't just process 25,000 cards, we processed 100,000 cards. and then we have still remaining around 143,000

ballots left to process. and so the breakdown on that is we have 123,000 vote by mail ballots and about 20,000 provisional ballots. and we did receive 10,000 ballots. that was delivered by the post office yesterday. they had valid postmarks on it. they were postmarked on or before election day. and so by law, we haven't any ballot that we receive from the post office. that's postmarked on or before election day and is received within seven days of election day. we can count those ballots. so those 10,000 ballots were included into the unprocessed ballots report. it's included in the press release. it's also on our website, and we have about 19,000 provisional ballots. we're still going. we're still combing through the provisional ballots. we don't have final numbers on the provisional ballots. we don't have complete district breakdowns yet. so we'll get that probably some better

numbers tomorrow. the provisional ballots, and as far as the reports are concerned, i think if you guys look at the numbers, so on the ranked choice reports for district one, you'll see that the two candidates, uh- chan and philhower, are tied. so in the report, one of the one of the reports indicates that there's a it says winner, which is a programing thing. it's not anything that we add to the reports. we did give chan the green light on the rcp report that the system issues because she received the most first choice votes, but that doesn't mean anything. it's just just we had to pick somebody to complete the report. so we could we could print it out and issue it. and we picked chan because she had the most first choice. just for reporting purposes. now, at this time, these are all preliminary numbers and nothing's final. no one, no candidates have been eliminated. no candidates have received the most votes

we have at least a week of processing the vote by mail ballots to get through the final numbers of vote by mail ballots. we won't start counting provisional ballots until next week. we got about 19,000 provisional ballots, and we have to go through each of those ballots, enter the information into our into our system, verify the people that signed the envelopes, and make sure that they're going to be registered in san francisco. if they if they went to a polling place in the wrong district, we have to we have to adjust for that. and so even when i get a recount or a full count of the number of, of, of provisional ballots cast in a district, it doesn't mean all those provisional ballots had the supervisor will have the supervisor contest counted. so in district one if i live in district four. so if i went to district one and i and i voted, i would have voted a provisional ballot and my ballot would have had the supervisor contest on it. and when that ballot comes to the department of

elections, the department's going to see i live in district four. so we have to do what's called remake the ballot. we have to determine the voter intent based on eligibility. and since i'm a district four voter, when we remake the ballot, the department would not give a vote for me for supervisor in district one. so we have to go through all these processes. and again, these are all preliminary numbers. nothing is set. nothing's final. we're still we've got 143,000 ballots still to process. there's four cars per ballot. so we still have what five 660,000 ballot cards to process. still. and we'll be here till 10:00 tonight. we'll start again tomorrow at seven. we'll have that schedule for the next several days at least, probably through monday. and you can actually people can watch our process on our website online. we stream live our processes. people can come down to the department and observe in person our processes. and, you know, from there i can

take any questions. >> is it still mathematically possible for mayor breed to come back from where she is right now and win? >> yes. the only time that that the department or i actually would determine who received the most votes is n i certified the election, and so i can't certify the election by state elections law until december 3rd. so ask me in december 3rd. i might be able to answer that question, but at this point i can't answer that question. >> john, you guys have eliminated london breed already and daniel laurie is the is elect is elected. correct? >> that's exactly what i didn't say. okay. i saw that on your show. so the ranked choice system usually when ranked choice the original idea behind ranked choice, it would be run when all the votes are received. but in san francisco we run preliminary results reports. and so the system wasn't set up for these preliminary reports. so whatever votes are in the count at that time, then the system assigns someone who received the most votes as the winner. but it's not what the department is indicating is final. it's not

what i'm certifying as far as election results. it's not a projection of anyone who is any outcome for any candidate in the election. so if you look at the summer report that we have in on the front page of our website, you'll see that the percentage of round one, which is when the first round, when the ranked choice is applied in the last round, which is when there's two candidates remaining and they'll show you the percentage of votes of a result of the votes processed. at this point. and so we still have 143,000 ballots. so again, these are all preliminary reports. nothing is final. we there's no candidates have been eliminated. and we don't make any projections regarding any outcomes for the election until i certify the election, which won't occur until at least december 3rd. >> so fair to say it's too close to call. >> i'll give you the same answer i just gave you. >> so you told us december

third will be the day that everything becomes official, assuming that the count progresses. but a lot to unpack here. essentially, daniel laurie is leading at this point, but there's stil more than 140,000 ballots to be counted. london breed would have to win a significant portion of that in order to jump up. >> right. we should mention the report at the top or on our on our website is based on the numbers that are still in, but you can see ranked choice voting currently has the final two at daniel lurie 56%, london breed 43%. he did still talk about the 148,000 ballots. >> the margin here is 26,000 roughly, so there's certainly the possibility that it can change. but the chronicle felt comfortable enough to. >> yeah, and you're not going to get the math numbers from the calculations from john ahrens.

trillion worth of infrastructure work done, changing people's lives in rural communities and communities that are in real difficulty. >> president elect trump is making calls to lawmakers and allies from his home at mar a lago. elon musk and robert f kennedy jr, spending much of yesterday with trump, sources tell abc news. the two are involved in meetings as trump creates his cabinet and other top positions. trump and his team are also preparing possible executive actions he could take on day one. sources familiar with the planning say they're focused on trump's top campaign promises, including launching mass deportations and tariffs on foreign goods. trump is taking calls from world leaders after his victory. >> i look forward to working with president trump once again to strengthen north american economic opportunities for the middle class. >> trump, speaking with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu as unrest in the middle east continues. >> both leaders agreeing to work together for israel's security,

as well as the threat posed by iran. >> senator bernie sanders, an independent, is blasting the democratic party for the loss, saying they abandoned working class people. jamie harrison, the head of the dnc, calls that straight up. b.s. perry russom, abc news, washington. >> the world's top ten richest people have even more wealth, following donald trump's reelection, adding $64 billion. this, according to bloomberg's billionaire index. the biggest gainer was elon musk right there was one of mr. trump's most outspoken supporters. musk's wealth jumped $26.5 billion. now, experts say a new trump administration may offer more than just cash benefits for silicon valley and the future of tech. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains how things could change come january if the bay area was its own country, it would be the 17th largest in the world, and as the home of talent, innovation and technology, silicon valley would be the

driving economic force. >> experts are hopeful that its role could become even greater with the trump presidency. jim wunderman is the president and ceo of the bay area council. >> i think a lot of folks in silicon valley are really hopeful that this will be a new day for them, and, you know, we need to help technology all we can. >> kris farmer is the ceo of signalfire, a venture capital and technology firm based in san francisco. he says right now, antitrust laws, higher taxes and overregulation are stifling innovation, especially in the still growing field of ai. last year, president joe biden signed an executive order that placed guardrails around ai development. while not providing details. trump has promised to dismantle that framework on day one. and farmer believes the trump administration could help clear regulatory hurdles, especially for startups with clarification of regulation and what can and can't be done with ai. >> with open source models, all those types of things that helps the whole ecosystem know where it's okay to play ball and where

it's not. >> lower regulatory burdens for companies could also allow for more of them to go public. easier, unlocking a financial benefit. >> it allows companies to get access to the public markets from a capital standpoint to fuel this growth. but it also allows the public to participate in a way that i think is critically important. >> wunderman says growth in a lot of national investments, like the chips act, has slowed in california. it's harder to build and expand. so companies leave. both wunderman and farmer hope for stronger ties with a trump white house. >> i think we have to figure out ways to work with this administration. best we can. and it won't always be, you, maybe what we would hope it to be. but in a lot of ways, it could turn out to be very positive. >> a benefit for silicon valley and the country in the south ba. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> all right. so we want to give an update on the election results. and there's some confusion here because the department of elections website states that daniel lowry has won

as the mayor of san francisco. >> but now we're suspecting that's just a thing programed in at the end of each round and doesn't actually reflect what they're trying to say. but however, mayor london breed has at the same time, after the latest batch release, just put out a message and it does sound like a concession. so she says being mayor of san francisco has been the greatest honor of my lifetime. she talks about the gratitude, how she started as mayor, and how she's always worked to be a mayor for all san franciscans in the last paragraph says, during my final two months as your mayor, i will continue to lead the city as i have from day one. as san francisco's biggest champion. thank you. >> adding that she did call daniel lowry and congratulated him on his victory in the election. so now we have a transition that's about to take place. but it sounds even though it didn't sound official when we had the live shot up. it sounds

as official as it could be. almost as official. >> yeah, absolutely. yeah. all right, so there you have it. we have a winner on thursday, two days after the election in the san francisco mayoral race, incumbent mayor london breed is out and newcomer daniel lowry is going to be the next mayor. >> all right, coming up, a ban on social media and a taste of

jen b asks, "how can i get fast download speeds while out and about?” jen, we've engineered xfinity mobile with wifi speeds up to a gig, so you can download and do much more all at once. it's an idea that's quite attractive. or... another word... fashionable? i was gonna say- “popular! you're gonna be pop-uuuu-larrr!” can you do defying gravity?! yeah, get my harness. buy one line of unlimited, get one free for a year with xfinity mobile. and see wicked, only in theaters november 22nd.

and on social media for anybody under the age of 16. in australia, the australian government introduced a plan to require a minimum age of 16 for children to start using social media. the platforms would be responsible for making sure that kids comply. parliament still needs to approve this ban. meta, which owns facebook and instagram, says the company respects any age limits that the government wants to introduce. so age 16. sandy, what do you

think? >> you know what i think it should be enforced. larry, i, i would even kind of push for 18, to be honest with you, because kids are so impressionable. they're seeing all this stuff on social media and they're just really taking it to heart. the other thing is, you know, kids can actually lie and put a different birth date on instagram and they can get in as an adult. so, you know, this whole thing about regulation with teenagers and trying to filter the content on certain social media sites, it may not work. at least not here in the u.s. >> i don't know how you enforce it. >> yeah, right. it would be hard, right? >> unless there's some biometric involved, which of course raises all sorts of privacy issues. but now you have, you know, on x and you have all sorts of stuff and it's, it's i think this idea of delaying till 16, at least on paper from 13 is a good idea. yeah. >> well, we'll see how it goes. >> all right. now to a breath of fresh air from a can. an italian

company is selling bottled air from lake como. the cans sell for about $11 each and apparently contain 100% authentic air collected from the popular tourist spot. very upscale spot. it's not necessarily an original idea. other destinations like iceland, scotland and wales also sell the scent of their homeland. does it have a smell? i mean, biggest scam ever? >> yeah, i mean, maybe you can get a tiny whiff of george clooney. i was just going to say he goes there all the time, right? so for $11, i think you're buying. >> i think even though it's just $11, i'm out. i don't know, for like two. i'd rather get maybe a candle that smells like something that represents something from a can of air. are you kidding me? exactly. >> i mean, how can you even prove that it's from there? >> yeah. i mean, if you had said somebody other than george clooney, though. larry. >> well, your name, your favorite. whatever. i'm just, you know, i just feel bad that

we didn't think of this, like the abc seven newsroom. would you like, you know, inhale. >> i what's it going to smell like? >> we'll do it for $10. so you save a buck right there, larry. >> we're not going to sell any. >> yeah, i don't think so. speak for yourself. >> keep, keep, keep trying, keep trying. >> all right. let the festivities begin. because today is the start of the holiday season at starbucks. and you can tell by the cups these are the new cups you'll see this year at the stores for designs for the theme. merrier together. each cup has a badge on the back for baristas to write a message to customers like, how do you like the air in here? >> it's amazing. it's a kind message, actually. >> are they going to do that? aren't they so busy they have time to write messages? >> i know, especially with the mobile orders. >> it's like lines of people, right? at least your name on it. they can do a little smiley face or a little. some people are really artistic, creative, you know, the receipt at costco. a lot of times with the sharpie, they draw. cute little thing on

the way out for my daughter. >> oh. that's cute. they do. well, that's sweet, but those are really festive for the holidays. you know, whether they write something or not, per se. it's just nice to be able to see those when you walk in and they smell great. >> all right. >> you know what? you know what? it smells great. oh, all that fresh. what? mustard fields. you can celebrate the holidays with a feast in napa valley starting december 17th. violetta is holding a feast of seven dishes, and some of which are fish. is fishes. right? the take on the italian holiday tradition. so each night for seven nights a new dish debuts. >> and joining us right now on tasty thursday is chef thomas lentz. first of all, thanks for joining us. let's start with what we're tasting today. >> and presentation. >> yeah i know it's beautiful about the feast of seven dishes because we're going to we're going to hold some of this up here without dropping out. yeah. thanks for having me. having me. >> yeah. two things that you're

tasting, really. the beginning and the end of our meals. so a little bit of the amuse bouche and then the amenities at the end of the meal. so i think the amuse bouche, we're starting with a little chickpea tartlet. it's kind of a representation of one of my father in law's favorite dishes. he was a farmer from sicily that he really loved, as well as some sturgeon from the from from california, with its own caviar on top, little treat there that we're going to have during the during the holidays. and then we're finishing with a little brodo or a broth that's made with all of the kind of items that we that we save to, to really make sure that we're not using any waste or we don't have any waste in the kitchen. so this is parmesan rinds and dried mushroom stems, all the different things that we then lightly ferment that and create this beautiful broth, completely vegetarian, but it almost tastes like a really hearty broth. and then to kind of celebrate a little bit more of the holidays, we've got kind of the sweet treats at the end of it, one of which is one of my favorites. it's called a torron,

a traditional piedmontese nougat with a little bit of hazelnuts, toasted hazelnuts that are coming up from california as well as some dried cherries that we preserved in the spring that we folded into this. then we've got a little blood orange sicilian blood orange pasetta. so a beautiful little jelly there at the end. and then finally some biscottis that are my wife's sicilian family's recipe from about 300 years ago. so something that show a little bit of the holidays, but also a little kind of the family spirit that we have here at violetta. >> i can taste the two stars. i'm going to brag a little bit. you guys are michelin two stars, right? very well i yeah, yeah, i've had michelin. >> i previously had two michelin stars. violetta, we've only been open for six months. so it's a new it's a relatively new restaurant up here in saint helena. and this is really our first holiday but excited. you know, my wife's from the california region, and i'm excited to move back here. used to work with mike tusk down at quince. so great to be back in the area. and we're excited to have people up in the napa

valley to celebrate the holiday season with us, with the feast of seven dishes, some of which are fishes. that's a little not our doctor seuss nod there for, oh, i get it. >> okay. that's awesome. >> no, no green eggs and ham. yeah. >> no, no, it's going to be all, you know, really inspired by classic italian dishes. but we're going to feature one dish every day leading up to christmas. and we're going to pair it with one of the wines from the original seven vintners out here in napa valley. so a little italian tradition, but also kind of a connection to california and the and the valley, which is really what we're trying to do at violetta. >> this. okay. i wish people could see the contents of this cup. that broth is so flavorful. it is ridiculously good. but i want to ask you, what do you think defines california cuisine today? you know, there's so many takes on it. but to you, what does that mean? >> and what do you i think, you know, i think that's a great question. and i think the for me it's about the product. you

know, i think california it's two things. one is, you know, as a chef working with some of the best ingredients and best farmers that there is, not only in the united states but in the world, but also a spirit of innovation and an ability to take risks with those products. and that's one of the things, again, like, we like to take a have a nod to italian and french traditions at bargetto, but really look through a fresh lens and through what i think is kind of that pioneering lens of california, to be able to look and see what we can do. that's a little bit different. we're not going to be tied to tradition, but we're going to be inspired by it as well as the great ingredients that are around us to create something that's a little bit new and i think has a fresh take on kind of what great italian and french food can do. and i think that's what a lot of winemakers did up in napa valley during, you know, like with the wine tradition in the valley as well. >> yeah. well, based on this sample, chef, you nailed it. so thank you very much. and best of luck and then there's the gmc sierra. available with the connected driving experience....
