The Health Nut

November 27, 2007

Oh thank my lucky little stars for Titan—I got to work my post-Thanksgiving calories OUT on Saturday in Dolores Park, and the sit-ups and presses they had me do were all business. A couple of my teammates are looking really good, dropping some poundage, while I’m…

What’s Cookin’

November 27, 2007

Got your reindeer ears on? Or perhaps a full bottle of something brown and potent at your side? Hey, whatever will get you through the holidays. One thing that should be helpful is this week’s holiday edition of the bookworm from Green Apple Books’ Pete Mulvihill, who mentions a…

Masa's: The 12 Days of Christmas

I see a lot of holiday event press releases cross my desk, but this one really caught my eye: Masa's will be offering a ~12-COURSE HOLIDAY TASTING MENU~ specifically designed to reflect the song, "The 12 Days Of Christmas." As an example, executive chef Gregory…

Festa Dell'Olio Nuovo Dinner

I already adore DaVero olive oil like you wouldn’t believe (so does Bruce Hill—it’s what he puts on the soft-serve ice cream at Pizzeria Picco), so my ears definitely pricked up over this upcoming dinner at COCO5OO: ~FESTA DELL'OLIO NUOVO~, a five-course dinner…

Andalu

ANDALU has been holding down the corner of 16th and Guerrero for some time, but they have never offered brunch, until recently. It's funny, because the space is quite well suited for brunch--there's nice light and hello, full bar. I went by with a friend…

By Chef Charlie Kleinman

Gluttony, thy name is Au Pied De Cochon (536 rue Duluth, Montreal, 514-281-1114). Okay, I guess that's not fair. A better name for gluttony would be Charlie Kleinman, Jake Des Voignes, and Ryan Farr. You see, the three of us have eaten enough in the last…

The Bore No More: 2007

What I Don’t Want to See More of In 2007 1. No more variations on tuna tartare. Basta, please. 2. Enough with the silly amuse bouches. Unless you’re busting out something special or exquisite, say, with caviar. Otherwise, I am no longer amused. 3. Will the tyranny of…

The Chatterbox

November 20, 2007

BIG news over in Ghirardelli Square: the deal has been finalized for ~GARY DANKO’S NEXT RESTAURANT~, slated to open in June. I can’t mention the name yet because of some trademark legalities in the mix, but for now it looks like it will be a 200-seat space…

November 20, 2007

I am so fired. I missed class on Tuesday because I had to get ready (read: find a cute dress or two) before my departure to Vegas the next morning, and then missed class Thursday and Saturday because I was still in LV. I schlepped my tennies to Vegas, but…
