A Divine Affair: Purveyor of Fresh Local Perishables

As part of my Day-in-the-Life multi-media event last month, I ran into Divine Affair and to ask them to remember to take pictures and snapped this one of my own.
Back Patio at Divine Affair on 19 July 2008
I can’t remember when Divine Affair opened, but they are relatively new in Healdsburg — as a dining entity. I’m sure they’ve been around as a catering entity.
If you end up either inside or on their back patio, I recommend the roast chicken (which–when you ask them, they claim to be the best roast chicken this side of the Rockies). I can’t lay claim that I’ve tasted ALL the roast chicken this side of the Rockies, but I can attest that they offer pretty damn good chicken.
The day they mentioned it to me…I was walking around promoting the Day in the Life event. I talked to Kahleen a bit about pictures. And her mum (pictured right in this photo) mentioned the chicken.
As I left the premises (to continue promoting), they must have been roasting the chicken, because that was all I could smell on the way out.
I returned later–because I just couldn’t get it out of my head–and tried it.
Yes. It’ is pretty damn good chicken.
I’ve been there and is it a real restaurant? Is it a retail store or what? Pretty random things like dish towels and olive oil. It’s ok for a quick take out lunch but not somewhere to really eat and enjoy Healdsburg. Try Ravenous or Barndiva instead, besides…I saw the manager (maybe owner) yelling at an employee one day and it looked like she was on the verge of tears!
