It’s not often that we declare someone’s pesto the “best-o,” but, in this case, it’s warranted.
When we asked Executive Chef Ben Cude from the Bakersfield Marriott at the Convention Center to cook something special up just for our readers that would be fresh, local, and elegant, he did not disappoint. Instead of traditional basil pesto, he prepared a cilantro pesto that has our mouths watering. He also didn’t skimp on the fresh flavor!
But don’t take our word for it...try it yourself.
