Giada De Laurentiis hits the beach and lays out the perfect food filled three-day weekend in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. A scenic drive from LA finds her grabbing a scoop of "the best ice cream in the world" at McConnell's, feasting on local flavor at Bouchon, and lounging at a beachside table at the Brown Pelican. Plus a trip to the nearby San Ynez valley yields a visit to a miniature horse ranch, a lesson on the art of blending wines and an Italian serenade from the chefs of Trattoria Grappolo.
