In this special Up+Adam standalone episode for SLO Restaurant Month, Adam Montiel sits down with two incredible voices from San Luis Obispo’s food and dining scene to highlight the magic and creativity of this year’s event.

First, Adam catches up with Ali Rush, owner and sommelier of 15 Degrees C Wine Shop & Bar. Ali shares her journey from North County to SLO, her passion for wine and hospitality, and how 15C has become a go-to destination for wine lovers. Ali also dives into their SLO Restaurant Month offering: a beautifully curated cheese board featuring her favorite selections, paired with two glasses of wine or beer for just $35.

Next, Adam talks with Matt Reby, general manager of Lure Fish House, a standout seafood spot in SLO. Matt shares his unique journey from starting as an oyster bartender to running the show, and why Lure’s commitment to fresh, sustainable seafood makes it a must-visit destination. From their famous charbroiled oysters to their tequila lime shrimp pasta, Lure’s SLO Restaurant Month menu is packed with crowd-pleasers.

Behind every plate is a story, and this episode celebrates the passion and creativity that make SLO Restaurant Month truly special.
