EVOO Cannon Beach Cooking School has been named Best Dining Experience in Mike’s Road Trip Best of 2010 list.

The popular website MikesRoadTrip.com, with travel writer Mike Shubic at the helm, recently took first place as the Best Travel Tips Blog for 2010 by GotSaga, a leading travel resource site. In his review, Shubic had this to say about EVOO:

The Dinner Show at EVOO is really something not to be missed… it combines a spectacular four-course meal paired perfectly with local wines, entertainment and culinary tips – all in a dinner-party like atmosphere.
