I didn’t realize it until just now, but I’ve known Michael and Sarah Cherney for years. Okay, I didn’t know-them know-them, but I definitely enjoyed their hospitality a few times at Sides’ Hardware and Shoes, the charming restaurant in Los Olivos where Michael was chef and Sarah worked front of house. The Cherneys have since started their own business called Peasant’s Feast in an iconic restaurant space in Solvang — a town known more for its aebleskivers and Christmas-all-year-round charm than for its cuisine. With the success of the restaurant, they’ve opened a beautiful second spot called Peasant’s Deli across the walkway. There’s also a fun little secret inside the deli worth exploring, but I’ll let them pique your interest. We talked about Michael’s veggie legs, Sarah’s theater background, and how deferred dreams led them right to the Peasant’s Feast’s door.
