AN AMAZING SUNDAY BRUNCH JUST 
MINUTES FROM WHERE YOU ARE 
READING THIS

Sunday Brunch Bliss at 1917 Bistro, San Antonio 
Winery

When it comes to Sunday brunch, few places capture the 
charm of Los Angeles quite like the 1917 Bistro at the 
historic San Antonio Winery. Nestled amidst the vines 
and barrels, this gem offers a delightful dining experience 
enhanced by live music on the patio. I suggest making 
a reservation, as patio seating is highly coveted, and for 
good reason.

On a warm Los Angeles afternoon, I found myself lucky enough to snag a spot on the patio, where the 
atmosphere was alive with music and the gentle clinking of glasses. The vibe here is as inviting as the food, 
whether you’re indulging in a leisurely meal or simply people-watching.

I started with the Cheese Platter appetizer, an impressive spread that could easily satisfy as a meal on its own. 
For those craving something heartier, I recommend ordering a side of meatballs—after all, when in Rome 
(or, in this case, Los Angeles).

Of course, no brunch is complete without drinks, and 1917 Bistro delivers. While all the wines hail from the 
esteemed San Simeon winery, you can branch out with a Bellini, Mimosa, or even an Italian beer on tap.

The breakfast offerings are spectacularly presented and cater to every taste. For steak lovers, the Creekstone 
Rib Eye is a must-try. As for me, I couldn’t resist the Short Rib Hash, a dish that elevates comfort food to an 
art form.

Families may want to look elsewhere, as this spot leans more adult-friendly—a welcome escape for those of 
us craving a bit of “me time.”

Before I wrap up, let me add a quick note about the restrooms: they’re the cleanest in town. And as I always 
say, “Clean restroom, clean kitchen.”

Whether you’re a brunch aficionado or a first-timer, 1917 Bistro offers something for everyone. So, grab a 
reservation, bring your appetite, and prepare for an unforgettable Sunday brunch experience at one of Los 
Angeles’ most charming wineries.

TONY PARSONS QUOTES

Tony Parsons, a prominent speaker and 
author in the field of non-duality, offers 
profound insights on the nature of reality, 
self, and enlightenment. His teachings 
emphasize that there is no individual self, 
only the oneness of existence. He has many 
videos on “youtube”

On the Illusion of Self:

1. "There is no separate individual. There is only oneness appearing 
as a separate individual."

2. "Liberation is the realization that there is no one to be liberated."

 Highlighting the paradox that enlightenment involves the disap 
pearance of the seeker.

3. "All there is, is this. And this is everything."

On the Nature of Reality:

4. "There is no path to what already is. The search itself is the veil."

• Underscoring the futility of searching for enlightenment, as it is 
already present.

5. "Everything that seems to happen is simply what is happening – 
without meaning or purpose, but full of wonder."

• Describing the spontaneous and impersonal nature of life.

6. "What we long for is what already is. It’s not hidden; it’s simply 
not seen."

• An invitation to recognize the ever-present reality of oneness.

7. "The apparent need to control and understand dissolves into the sim 
plicity of being."

• Pointing to the freedom that comes with the end of control.

8. "The end of seeking is the end of the seeker. What remains is 
boundless energy appearing as everything."

 Everything happens like the weather, spontaneous with no one 
doing it.

On Liberation:

9. "Liberation is not something that happens; it is the absence of 
something that never was."

• Emphasizing the illusory nature of separation and the realization 
of oneness.

10. "Nothing needs to be done because nothing is out of place. There is 
only wholeness appearing as everything."

• Reflecting the completeness and perfection of all that is.

The self that feels like our ordinary daytime “me”, is a fictitious, subconscious 
mental product being injected into our cognitive and perceptual 
experiences, feeling fully apart and separate from everyone and everything 
else “known”.
