Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
Manresa 320 Village Lane Los Gatos, CA 95030 I have been wanting to go to Manresa for ages. It seems like it’s harder to plan to go to a place just 20 minutes away over our lovely mountain highway than all the way up to San Francisco. I finally realized, Hey! there are hotels near…
The Slanted Door 1 Ferry Building #3 San Francisco, CA 94111 415-861-8032 I had a few errands to run in San Francisco. All food-related so it was worth the drive up. My first stop was Omnivore Books on Food to pick up my signed Alice Waters book that I wasn’t able to get signed in…
Hana Japanese Restaurant 101 Golf Course Drive Rohnert Park, CA 707-586-0270 I found this restaurant purely by accident, chance, kismet, whatever you want to call it. I call it scrumptious fate! We were in the area and it was lunchtime. I don’t know anything around the north bay so I just searched on my phone…
Pacific’s Edge120 Highlands Dr, Carmel, CA 93923831-622-5445 We first ate at Pacific’s Edge in the Fall of 2007. I’m a Hyatt Club member (we picked a hotel chain to stay in regularly to earn points) and once a year or so they give me a free night. So, of course, I redeem it at one…
One day my lovely friend who DJs at KFJC discovered my site and asked if I wanted to be on the radio with her. SURE! I said. So I went, we talked, we had a blast and here’s the transcript:Rocket J. Squirrel: This is Chantrelle we’re talking to. Hi! So, I got all excited about…
It’s been six years since my first trip to the French Laundry. I’d heard rumors that Thomas Keller had spread himself too thin, opening too many restaurants, too many projects, that the French Laundry had slipped and wasn’t as good as it used to be. I don’t know what these people are talking about!! And…
Trevese Just found out Trevese has closed its doors. Guess my scathing review was a little late! Our 10 year wedding anniversary snuck up on me somewhat. We’d gone on vacation, had been preparing for our son to start kindergarten, and summer was just flying by. But at the last minute I found a babysitter…
This was my second Recchiuti Taste Project event. The first was the Salt and Chocolate tasting which inspired many dishes and a shopping spree at The Meadow in Portland. The beer tasting was really for my husband who is the alchemist behind the Barely Legal brews. Of course, I enjoy the end product, he enjoys…
Cellar Door Café at Bonny Doon Vineyard328 Ingalls StSanta Cruz, CA 95060831-425-4518 We were in the mood to try something new for lunch the other day. Since we were on that side of town I suggested The Cellar Door since we’d been told to go there so many times but had never made it. I’m…
I had such a rock star week. It began with seeing Tori Amos two nights, one of which was from front row center seats. It continued with catching up with Neil Gaiman and meeting Amanda Palmer, and immediately leaving them and going to pick up my lunch date interviewee, Alan Anton of the fantabulous Cowboy…
Cafe Rouge1782 Fourth StBerkeley, CA 94710510-525-1440 I’ve been to Café Rouge a few times now. We always seem to get out to Kermit Lynch late in the day and by the time we get out of there we’re starving. The café is always busy but we’ve always gotten a table. I’ve had a variety of…
The second I saw the notice about this salt and chocolate event, I signed up. I think those two things work so magically well together, I even dreamed of them when I was pregnant with my son. That’s how I came to know about Recchiuti’s Fleur de Sel caramel chocolates. I had a dream about…
Lillian’s Italian Kitchen1116 Soquel AveSanta Cruz, CA 95062831-425-2288 You can’t throw something in Santa Cruz without hitting an Italian restaurant it seems. Ristorante Avanti, Lucio’s, Limoncello, La Posta, all favorites of mine. I was looking for a simple lunch today and remembered that Lillian’s was open for lunch so decided to finally check it out….
Sushi Groove South1516 Folsom StSan Francisco, CA 94103415-503-1950 This is our new pre-Slim’s-show dinner. You could easily miss it if you don’t have the address and aren’t really looking for it. Just keep an eye out, you’ll find it. Slip past the thick curtain over the entry and excellent fish and sake awaits. Hamachi sashimi,…
Sushi Tomi Restaurant635 W Dana StMountain View, CA 94041650-968-3227 I discovered Sushitomi when I worked in Mountain View just a few blocks away. Unfortunately, I found it just a few weeks before our office moved to San Francisco. I had been on a search for good sushi in downtown Mountain View and had failed for…
