Overheard on the San Francisco Bay Area Board

"It's called Ran Kanom Thai. I stopped by last weekend and was intrigued by many of the choices. There are handmade desserts and sausages (frozen) and a limited selection of packaged goods. I picked up the Laotian sausage and the 'Organic Homemade Pork Sausage' with Niman Ranch pork, unspecified pork skin, and organic onion/lemongrass, ginger, lime leaf, and chili." – ...tm... on the new organic Thai grocery and takeout shop in El Cerrito

"Went—it was good. Lines were surprisingly tame, although the food definitely ran out by ~1-ish. It's basically what you would get at Ad Hoc on Monday nights." – shouzen with the first report on Addendum, Thomas Keller's new boxed-lunch spot in Yountville

"We've gone to Olivier's 2x and I have to say I'm incredibly impressed with both the quality but also the prices. The steaks have all been outstanding (and incredibly tender) and their house-made sausages have been stellar. A standout might have been the kielbasa but that's likely because we haven't tried them all yet." – margieco on Olivier's Butchery
