The Starlet

Ashley Judd was seen having lunch at Rose's Café—she was in town for her husband's race at Sonoma. (He's Dario Franchitti, a motor-racing driver.) Metallica was in at Scott Howard Restaurant. Rock! (Comedian Patton Oswalt was also seen there.) Kathy Griffin was at…

Say you, say me… Lionel Richie was seen dining at A16 a couple weeks ago. And famed personality chef, Todd English, has really been making the rounds—he was recently seen at Asia de Cuba.…

Okay, I am so bummed I wasn't at Aziza the night Jacques Pepin was in for dinner! He was with Susie Heller (she wrote "The French Laundry Cookbook" and "Bouchon" with Thomas Keller, and is the director of Jacques's, and previously Julia…

2223 Restaurant had its fair share of characters this week, from Charles Busch from "Die, Mommie, Die!" to Chi Chi La Rue with a group of porn stars (what did you expect, teachers?). Radiohead, in town for their show, were spotted having lunch at Asia de Cuba. Thelma…
