So good that you make it over and over again (or at least 3 times!)

I have made these chocolate cupcakes probably 40 times. I substitute mascarpone cheese for the yogurt and it makes them wonderfully flavorful. I ice them with peanut butter frosting consisting solely of peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla - I don't use the chocolate frosting that's called for. I can't tell you how many compliments they always get! They're really simple to make too.

Looking for Fresh Crab....

Yeah unfortunately it's not in season right now...but you can find places down on the wharf (Fisherman's Wharf) selling it. Try Alioto's...

Quince replacement?

Try Beretta on Valencia? Or what about Spruce, although perhaps $$$...there's also a place on Fillmore, can't remember the name but it's between Pine and Bush where Chez Nous used to be. I know you said French but Suppenkuche at Hayes and Laguna is also good, cheap, although can be loud.
