* … WOOL GROWER’S: It looks like Wool Growers, the famous Basque restaurant on 19th Street, will be getting some more love from the national press. Christiane Camou, daughter of Wool Grower’ owner Jenny Maitia-Poncetta, tipped me that the editor of Saveur magazine (James Oseland) popped into the eatery last week.  “He enjoyed it so much that he had his photographer take hundreds of pictures of the food, and visited with my grandmother and myself about the history of Basque restaurants in Bakersfield,” she said.

Pink Beans and Salsa
The most popular Basque restaurant in Bakersfield for a half-century, Wool Grower’s (620 East 19th Street, 661-327-9584) is packed six days a week with farmers and their clans wolfing down huge family-style meals that might include pork dip, lamb dip (both $7) and the Basque stew of the day with pink beans and salsa ($10). And if the tables are taken, you can always eat at the crowded bar, a veritable sea of oily trucker caps.
