Overheard on the San Francisco Bay Area Board

"Just in case anyone is looking for elusive lady fingers in April (many places, including Trader Joe's, only carry them during Thanksgiving and Xmas) there are two different brands of them imported from Italy in the Chinese supermarket on De Anza—Maxim." – Tumkers mentioning beloved San Jose market Maxim

"Seared sea scallops with a deconstructed ravioli served as our entree. Every dish was unique and carefully planned and executed outstanding! I mean......... this is a strip mall for g-ds sake!!!" – MSK delivers a 23-exclamation-mark review (rave would be an understatement) of Bistro Vis à Vis in Greenbrae

"Finally, Kobe beef hot dogs in the Kabuki's Balcony bar get an enthusiastic thumbs up. Too bad they don't have condiments besides mustard and ketchup.

And I really liked the terribly named Cupcake sparkling pinot noir from France; added to the Swedish comedy about terrorist drummers." – Windy
