The pulled pork sandwich with the Ooo-Eee \u00a0sauce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I last did a post on Mustards Grill in June of 2008<\/a> for their 25th anniversary. \u00a0I am overdue\u00a0for an update on one of the oldest and most popular restaurants in the Napa Valley.\u00a0Mustards Grill<\/a>\u00a0in Yountville has stood the test of time. \u00a0Now in its 31st year, it is as popular as ever. It is still owned and operated by the fabulous chef, Cindy Pawlcyn. We visited this\u00a0past Wednesday for lunch. The place was jumping with wine country visitors and the locals, including some winemakers. Not much had changed at Mustards Grill since our previous visit. \u00a0The menu is still much the same and the food is as tasty\u00a0as always. \u00a0The BBQ pork sandwich on the menu (pulled pork, slow cooked) is fantastic with the pork soaked in what Cindy calls her Ooo-Eee sauce. Wow, what flavors! That’s what I had for lunch and it was delicious. The daily fish tostada is another favorite. Crab cakes are also divine. One thing I like about Mustards Grill and Cindy’s other restaurant in the Napa Valley, Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen in St. Helena, is the wine list.\u00a0The wine list is extensive with a generous focus on Napa Valley wines. Perhaps even better\u00a0are\u00a0the prices of the wine. Unlike many other Napa Valley restaurants, the markup on most of the wines is quite\u00a0reasonable. Since our last visit, the Mustards Grill gardens have been upgraded to an extensive degree. \u00a0Planter boxes are filled with all types of veggies and herbs, bringing the freshest ingredients to the table. I love the Padron Pepper planter\u00a0box that must have 50 plants with these small, scrumptious Spanish peppers. \u00a0A sign on the Padron planter box reads “Padron Peppers, Que Rico!” I own the Mustards Grill Cookbook and I can tell you from experience the Mustards cookbook is true to the food served at Mustards Grill. Some of my favorites in the book are\u00a0Grilled Figs with Pancetta, Achiote-Marinated Chicken Breasts, and the BBQ Pork Sandwich pictured above.\u00a0Visit the Mustards Grill Website<\/a> for the restaurant hours of operation. Don’t miss it when you are traveling in the Napa Valley wine country.<\/p>\n
