Earlier this year at the Wired Rave Awards I met Helene Goupil and Josh Krist. They were working on an upcoming San Francisco guide book and we chatted about the SF food scene. Later I talked to them a bit more and then completely forgot about it.
Last night I went to a book launch party and was amazed to find--I'm in the book! Not only is my blog mentioned but so are a bunch of other local food blogs.
San Francisco The Unknown City is hands down the coolest, hippest guide to San Francisco I've ever come across. While the contents include such standards as Dining, Shopping, Nightlife and Notoriety this book covers not just local favorites, but many places I doubt have ever been listed in a guidebook before. Places like The Crissy Field Center Cafe, the hidden Japanese restaurant Kappa and The Cake Gallery for "naughty treats" are all in there.
Do people outside the Bay Area know about artist collective The Grotto? The wacky Gregangelo Museum? Vegan shopping at Otsu? They can read about it now. The writing is crisp, funny and shares the inside scoop without ever making you feel like an outsider or an idiot for not being in the know. No question, this book will be as treasured by locals as it will by visitors. And I'm not just saying that 'cause I'm in it!
Have you been to the very cool and contemporary Design Public site lately? On their blog, they are hosting Pass The Mic: Delicious Design week . So far you'll find design inspired posts by food bloggers such as Chubby Hubby, Scent of Green Bananas and yours truly. My post even includes a recipe. Check it out!

December started out chilly with a quick weekend in Montreal and ended back in San Francisco after a glorious week on Oahu. There was lots of good food in both places, stay tuned for more details! Some of my favorite posts on the Epicurious blog were...

Ok, so I've finally gotten a chance to really dive into the Michelin Guide San Francisco: Bay Area and Wine Country 2007 and I now have a bit more of an opinion. While most critics and bloggers are focusing on the issue of "who got how many stars"...

You know the old saying, "don't judge a book by the cover?" The truth is, it's impossible not to. Never mind books, how about wine bottles? Designers communicate volumes through the tiniest of spaces. The subject of those very spaces is explored...

You might have noticed all my caveats about the Zagat Survey the other day. I have none to report for the fourth edition of Patricia Unterman's San Francisco Food Lover's Guide. As the last edition did, this one shall sit right next to the Zagat...

I remember reading "The Food Lovers Guide to Paris" by Patricia Wells back in the early 1980's. It was a revelation to me. Someone who knew and loved food so well took the time to catalog all the best places in Paris for eating and shopping for food....
