The Sal Paradise Bakery and Sandwiches in SLO

The Sal Paradise - Bakery, Sandwiches & Focacceria (formerly Sal's Sandwiches and Beer) is located in beautiful downtown San Luis Obispo just catty-corner to the Mission. It's a magical place! Why do you ask? Well, first of all, the food is great and it's perfect for people watching. However, they are extra magical for asking yours truly to create one of their sandwiches. It's called The Magician. Let's me break it down for you...

This has been one of my favorite sandwich forever. The avocado takes down the spice a bit and makes it more creamy... you might say it's makes it "vanish" a little. It's a nice level medium spice with lots of FLAVOR vs just hot for the sake of hot. The cucumber gives it some more crunch and a tiny refreshing taste and texture. You might say that cucumber is "invisible" and subtle. You would not really notice it was there unless I told you. It's freaking GOOD. Try it. There is a tiny surprising kick of flavor and spice after you finnish eating. You might say it "appears."  Warning, it's thick like most of their sandwiches. Beware of rooftop mouth damage! Take you time eating it;)

If you are looking for places to eat in San Luis Obispo, visit Sal's. Ask for "The Magician"... It's so gratifying to make that sandwich "disappear!"

As you can see from Sal's Menu, The Magician consists of:

BREAD:
Dutch crunch

MEAT:
Salami
Turkey

CHEESE:
Pepper jack Cheese

VEGGIES:
Tomato
Cucumber
Romaine Lettuce
Pepperoncini

Best of SLO New Times

The annual Best of SLO Reader's Poll results from New Times in San Luis Obispo County just came out! I'm honored to say that I was voted Best Entertainer again! It's packed with so many amazing restaurants, talents and artists were showcased in the issue. Check out more about Best of SLO at New Times.

In years past, I was even the entire theme throughout "presenting" each section with magic as well as on the covers! Thanks so much Central Coast for the support. It's been a blast helping with entertainment along the central coast. Although I work all over the globe doing creative consulting and private party entertainment, "SLO" is my home.

San Luis Obispo is a Magical Place...

San Luis Obispo is a magical place indeed. With all the exposure "we've" been getting on Dateline, Oprah, Sunset Magazine and much more, it's amazing "SLO" still retains the best kept secret feel to it. As an award winning entertainer that travels the globe, people ask me all the time why I do not live in LA or Las Vegas. This video should explain it. Why would I live anywhere else in the world if I can afford to live here so comfortably!?



This video breaks down some of my favorite places along the central coast... from hiking Bishop's Peak, watching the elephant seals near Hearst Castle, cliff/trail jumping at Big Falls, bike riding along Montana de Oro, ongoing concerts, Thursday's famous Farmer's Market, shopping, food, beaches, various hikes, our landmark restaurant Madonna Inn, wineries, the Mission, surfing, ... and great people and even better weather! It's one of the best places in the world to live, visit or get married.

By the way, this video was created by Cana Video Productions right here in San Luis Obispo as a collaboration with tourism and our wonderful hotels.

Oprah calls San Luis Obispo Happiest Place to Live

Ever heard of San Luis Obispo? Maybe you have drove through it and didn't even know! The Oprah Show along with the help of Jenny McCarthy might reveal our secret... dang it! As a magician and entertainer that is based out of this small town along California called San Luis Obispo, people have asked me often, "When are you going to be a big shot in L.A.?" or "Why do you live in a small town with no major VIP events or conventions? Why don't you go to Las Vegas?"

Well, if the Oprah Show that airs today does not answer this question, then nothing ever will! Watch the interview with Jenny McCarthy as she visits SLO: http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Happiest-City-in-America-San-Luis-Obispo-Video

San Luis Obispo is a magical place because I can think clearly, breath easily and live in nearly perfect weather year round. There are numerous pros and cons to living places but I am not much on sacrificing my physical or mental health. Getting to my various events might take a little more effort, but the payoff to return home is worth it. I get to be paid to do what I love, travel the world working the best exclusive parties and get to come back to this magical place! By the way, if you know of an event and want to let me loose on your guests to have a blast, reach out to me anytime at my official website www.TheIceBreaker.com

Thanks SLO Chamber, Oprah and Jenny! ... And a special kudos to all those local "stars", which I knew all of just like the video mentioned. It's a small city and we know it- and better yet, we know each other.

Also, if you are interested in San Luis Obispo Real Estate, check with my wife Traci Ferguson. Her site is loaded with free tools to help you as well.

Rich picked as "Best Entertainer"! Thanks Central Coast!

Great News! I was just named Best Entertainer by the annual New Times Readers Poll on the Central Coast. If you live on the central coast of California, grab a May 8-14th copy. I'm on the cover of the newspaper, the cover of the magazine insert, have an interview and several other magical pictures that introduce the other winners in each category! Take a look online at New Times... or take a look at all the parts at my website!

Being recognized as a quality entertainer means a great deal to me. If the category was Best Magician, it wouldn't have been as big of a deal since there are FAR fewer magicians than there are entertainers, actors, singers, dancers, solo artists, jugglers, comedians, etc. THANK YOU so much for those who voted for me.

This should make a huge difference regionally for those event planners who are not familiar with my responsibilities and value as a strolling entertainer. Guests are number one and the magic is just one of several ways I engage to make events more memorable and sophisticated for guests.
