Stand Makes Me Stand In The Place Where I Am
Have you ever had a truly forgettable meal? A meal that makes you scratch your head when someone asks, “Have you eaten at X?” Well that’s how I feel about the meal I had a few weeks ago at Stand, the new burger place on… on… see, I’ve totally forgotten where it is. I think…

Don’t Be A Creep, Make A Crêpe
Two very strange things happened the night before I left for San Francisco: (1) I decided to make crepes; and (2) After making crepes–with lemon juice and sugar (a standard treatment, as far as I could discern)–I sat down with Craig, who was watching “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” and, I kid you…

To Russia, For Food (…and Dancing!)
I went to the best 30th birthday party ever imagined last week. When Craig’s friend Sasie (whose birthday it was) sent out the evite, we were wary. Here was the plan: we would all meet at Washington Square Park and there would be a bus, the bus would take us to Brighton Beach where we…

Funny Cakes
Sometimes people send me funny things. Like Craig’s sister, Kristen. She sent me a picture of this cake she and her friends made for Easter featuring Jesus.Kristen writes: “Here is Jesus standing next to his tomb. It looks like one of his arms is buried in the rock, but it’s not…he only has one arm!…

Manresa
To quote Vanessa Williams, I “saved the best for last.” For the last meal of my trip, I packed my suitcase–left thank you notes for my hosts, Tohva and Raife–and drove one and a half hours to Los Gatos, where I met Pim for dinner at her boyfriend’s highly renowned restaurant, Manresa. I got a…

Burma Superstar
Brett had Bay Area bloggers buzzing. “Where is he taking you?” they asked when I told them about our e-mail exchange. The exchange went like this: Me: I want to meet you! Brett: Great! Let’s meet for lunch Thursday. Me: Ok. But there’s a problem. Brett: What? Me: I’m going to MANRESA that night and…

César & JoJo
Oakland is home to Derrick Schneider of Obsession With Food, his wife Melissa, and their friend Julie. I crossed the bridge to join them for dinner at César, a restaurant with two locations: one there in Oakland, the other in Berkeley right next door to Chez Panisse. As far as I remember, César the man…

Pizza Delfina
My reasons for going to San Francisco were manifold: to see the Golden Gate bridge, to eat lots of food, and–very high on the list–to meet one of my all-time favorite food bloggers, Heidi Swanson of 101 Cookbooks. Heidi’s star is on the rise these days: with the release of her GORGEOUS new cookbook, Super…

Runaway Caramel Chocolate Shortbread
As mentioned in my Ferry Building post, the good people of La Cocina provided me with a package of Clare Squares (chocolate/caramel shortbread) to take back to New York. Strangely enough, though, as I packed up to leave Raife and Tohva’s apartment I found a note stuck to my computer:Suspiciously, there were crumbs and an…

Please do not do that to me. I am happy to eat both at the same time from separate plates,…
