Bluestem Brasserie

Just recently, I had a chance to tour the site for what is going to be BLUESTEM BRASSERIE, a chic addition to Yerba Buena Lane that is opening later this year (say, mid-year-ish). The project is from Adam Jed (previously with PlumpJack) and his wife, Stacy, who are…

This week's tablehopper: forking around.                     Barbacoa (lamb) taco from El Huarache Loco. Three things that are making me happy this past (and upcoming) week: * not seeing rainy clouds in the forecast for another week. * taking Sunday completely off, spending it at the Alemany flea market (which included the…
