  • Why All the Hatin' on Alice Waters?

    America's most hated?Activist icon Alice Waters has come in for harsh criticism in recent weeks in both bloggerdom and the national press -- Eater SF documents the vitriol here, and here -- including an apparently erroneous incident that had Waters throwing a hissy fit at Thomas Keller's Per Se. Criticism of the Chez Panisse founder is hardly new, but we're sensing something novel: highly personal attacks aimed like sucker punches. What's going on? Vanity Fair contributor David Kamp, who wrote

If money ain't a thang, a few of Saturday's pricier events are still available, including six different Food and Adventure Tours with culinary superheroes like Thomas Keller and Joyce Goldstein, the cost of which range from $90 (if yo

    Mayclem: On the DL in the kitchenYou've watched him flog restaurants on TV, now see what he can do with a whisk. CBS 5 Eye on the Bay host Liam Mayclem is billed as Saturday's "celebrity chef" (you were expecting Thomas Keller maybe?) for SubCulture Dining's "Kitchen Confidential" pirate dinner at an undisclosed SF location. Tickets for the four-course "bistro-style" Liampalooza are $75 ($80 for the vegetarian version -- go figure). Get 'em here.

  • The Doggie Bag: Today's Odds and Ends

    Our favorite morsels from the food blogs and beyond. Doubting Thomas: At Civil Eats, East Bay eco-chef Aaron French is kinda pissed at Thomas Keller for his de facto diss of the strict constructionist view of local foods. If you can get Maine lobster delivered to your back door within a day, shouldn't it be considered temporally local? Locavores say feh. Jackin' the Mike: It took us a day to chew on Eater SF's stalking of the Chron's Michael Bauer, publishing photos of the Gandalf-like food cr

At the opening reception for SF Chefs.Food.Wine in Union Square last night, several attendees were giggling over reports that horns had trumpeted the appearance of Mayor Gavin Newsom minutes earlier. SFoodie spotted Michael Bauer and other Chronicle food and wine staffers chatting up Newsom near the BIG tent's front entrance on Powell Street. Time for a glass of Domaine Chandon, to kick things off, yes?   While the festive

  • Doggy Bag: Today's Odds and Ends

    ​Our favorite morsel from the food blogs. You asked for it: Grub Street New York published its Grub Report earlier this week. Think of it as a Twitpic of the state of the nation's restaurants, captured, collectively, by about a dozen critics. Anthony Bourdain, Jonathan Gold, Gael Greene, Ed Levine, Alan Richman -- some majorly serious bros. Among them is Michael Nagrant of the online mag Hungry. Now, while answers to some mighty predictable questions (When and how will fine dining rebound

  • Il Cane Rosso's Lauren Kiino: The SFoodie Interview

    Kiino, working the Cane Rosso lunch line.​We confess: We have no clue what the hell environmental geologists do. But if studying to be one means you walk away with an acute understanding of stuff like terroir, and how foods grow, then it was the perfect education for Lauren Kiino. The 37-year-old chef is partner with Daniel Patterson in Cane Rosso in the Ferry Building and Bracina, slated to launch this winter in Jack London Square. Along with Patterson -- a kind of mentor -- Kiino is beco

  • Daniel Patterson: S.F. is Killing the Upscale Neighborhood Restaurant

    fOtOdOjO/Flickr​We started out seeking to challenge the current meme that Oakland is the new locus of Bay Area chef talent. (In the East Bay Express, Carolyn Jung even called it America's next great dining destination.) We thought, sure, a handful of chefs are opening second restaurants in O-Town. And despite Commis, could the East Bay city we love for taco trucks and Lao food ever really challenge San Francisco's fine-dining dominance? We turned to Daniel Patterson, Coi chef and owner, Ca
