Benefit for Kim Müller
I first met Chef Kim Müller at the Compound in 2006, joining my friend Baron Wolman for lunch at the Compound. Kim, who has known Baron for years, came out to greet the table, and wistfully recounted a few precious details about her recent meal at French Laundry. As a little bit of personal background: […]

Raaga
Ginger Mint Naan? Something new, fresh, intriguing from cooking style steeped in tradition? Yep. Chef Paddy Rawal creates an impression much like his carefully crafted Indian fare: colorful, spicy, crisp. He radiates the kind of energy and enthusiasm you might expect from a a veteran of Bollywood producing turned chef dynamo. Paddy arrived in Santa […]

Mouth of Wonder
It’s been years since I woke up San Francisco once a week on KUSF 90.3 fm. I’ve missed being on the radio. So it was a total honor and thrill to be invited to guest host with Stacy Pearl on her weekly radio “Mouth of Wonder” show on KSFR. Stacy and I worked together on […]

Stacy Pearl’s New Mexico Recipe
If you live in Santa Fe, you have most likely either enjoyed Stacy Pearl’s food, through her position as chef at Walter Burke Catering or enjoyed her voice and culinary panache, via her weekly “Mouth of Wonder” radio show on KSFR. I got to know Stacy over the past year through our combined contributions for the […]

315 Restaurant and Bar
My vegetarian friends: I love you dearly. But this one is very much not for you. Click away. Do it quick. My fellow omnivores: have you ever seen the performance of cooking the perfect steak? Wait – forget the whole “seeing” thing: have you smelled the favorite frites companion in its progression from raw to desperately drool […]

Jambo Cafe
I lived in Kenya for 6 months during college – part of my junior year abroad. I had never been so far from everything I know. I remember my first night out on a homestay in an agricultural district. More stars than I had ever seen in a single night sky. I remember the first […]

Max’s Restaurant
Sous vide. I’d been reading about it for years. It’s one of those gastro-alchemy gimmick things that Thomas Keller and my headbanger friend (and St. John’s grad) Jeth gets into. I was pretty psyched to have the opportunity to see sous vide in action in Chef Mark Connell’s immaculate kitchen at Max’s Restaurant. It’s the […]

Atrisco Cafe
“What’s your opinion on lard?” That’s how I met George Gundrey, owner of Atrisco Cafe, and his esteemed mother. George comes from a long line of good food establishments. Since his grandmother’s first restaurant in Albuquerque, his folks, his aunts and uncles are responsible for New Mexican food icons like Tia Sophias and Tomasita’s. George’s […]

The Bavarian
Sometimes life actually is postcard perfect. Me, I don’t ski. But I’ve got a vivid imagination. And if I did do the ski thing, I imagine that after a day carving fluffy white powder down the trails of Taos, I wouldn’t be craving a microgreens salad with a melon foam dressing. No, I think I’d […]

Pizzeria Da Lino
Owner & Chef Lino Pertusini takes his pizza seriously. So seriously that when he decided to make Pizza, he wasn’t satisfied with simply serving it up in his already i his Santa Fe landmark italian restaurant, Osteria D’assisi. No, Lino needed a new location, Pizzeria Da Lino dedicated exclusively to the fine art of Making The […]
