incanto St. John Hotel Dinner

L1010194

On Tuesday night I met the extremely lovely Foodhoe who invited me to join her at her reservation at incanto's Fergus Henderson dinner. Henderson is famous for (as is Consentino) using the "whole beast" and as such we had an offal meal. It was delicious, but the company was even better. I'm about to ...

sebo

Currently my favorite place in SF to go for a good sushi experience. Here, one of the owners shapes some of the rice up for a piece of nigiri. Below, I love the expression on his face as he blow torches some daurade. Sebo is like going ...

farmer brown: $15 brunch

Who knew you could get a good, all-you-can-eat brunch in SF for just $15? And I don't mean an Indian buffet -- which, don't get me wrong, is good in its own right -- but just isn't a Western brunch. Or, in this case, ...
