Tadich to Open Branch in Washiington DC?

I am pretty sure I tried to eat there in the 60's but was turned away because I was not accompanied by a male. I found someplace else to eat.

Shopping in Sausalito and San Francisco

Cowgirl Creamery has had Gioia Burrata in the past.

2 years ago, Andante had hand pulled mozzarella that was very good, but she hurt herself doing it.

Daimo or Saigon in Richmond

I really like the homemade tofu at Saigon. Also love the salt and pepper scallops.

There is Erna's Elderberry in Oakhurst outside Yosemite but it seems to have been fancified.

Fresh Violets?

They have more scent than the purple (IMHO)

Fresh Violets?

They grow here just fine, but 2 cups of blossoms is more than most people have in their gardens at one time.

I had them at Din Tai Fung in Tokyo. You could taste the crab. They were nothing like i had ever had before and they cost about a couple of dollars a piece. this was a number of years ago.

CA Road Trip: North Bay portion

I was at Wildflour last Friday around 1. It looked like a crowd, but there were three women giving out samples and exchanging money and bread and it was really fast.

El Cerrito/Richmond Recommendations

Their salt and pepper scallops are (or used to be) fantastic. The house made tofu that is in one dish is really really good.

Rick Bayless on San Francisco

I was living in the Chicago area when Frontera opened. It was a breath of fresh air. After a couple of years in the Western suburbs after living in Berkeley, it was remarkable. I commuted to the northern suburbs and as soon as Frontera was open on Saturdays during the day, we went often. There were not those long lines at that point although they did appear during our time there.
