His father owns a restaurant supply company, his two older sisters are former owners of a successful restaurant in Seattle's International District, and Patrick thinks his mother and grandmother are the best cooks in the world.\r\n\r\nAs editor of a food travel magazine in college and eating his way through New York City and Europe, it for some reason took him a long time to realize he wanted to work professionally in food. After trying to make it in television news in the Bay Area, he realized he hated it and ran for the world of food. Since then, Patrick has been able to combine his journalism chops with his love of food, dining, and cooking into lead marketing roles at several Bay Area food start-ups. Currently, he is the Brand Director for Roli Roti and is the video producer for restaurant podcast, Menu Stories and co-founder of food-inspired streetwear line, Mother Sauce. Patrick is also a contributing writer/photographer/videographer for Thrillist SF, Eater SF, SF Gate, and Tastemade.",

The savory menu from \u003cstrong>chef Keisuke Akabori\u003c/strong> includes their chicken oyaku, a homey Japanese version of congee (rice porridge), with chicken roulade, pickled wakame, egg, mixed mushrooms, and green onion ($13); a soy-marinated pork katsu sandwich with housemade tonkatsu sauce and cabbage on fluffy milk bread ($14); and an entirely vegan salad with spring vegetables and barley that gets a note of creaminess from a turnip puree, dressed in a yuzu and miso vinaigrette ($11).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pastry and dessert treats in the case are quite extraordinary—the talented \u003cstrong>Mikiko Yui \u003c/strong>(previously State Bird Provisions, Coi) offers an array of seasonal treats that have a refined Cal-Japanese aesthetic, with some French pastry DNA, and playfulness too. There are black sesame (my favorite) and matcha cream puffs that creatively feature two kinds of dough, and the chocolate tart I tried is one of the best I’ve had, with a crisp layer of \u003cem>feuilletine \u003c/em>at the base, sesame, and kinako (soybean) flour. Chocolate lovers, get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ll find more traditional treats like strawberry mochi (made with Dirty Girl strawberries), the vibrant matcha matcha mochi, and cherry blossom/sakura mochi. There’s also a yuzu meringue tart with matcha, and a fluffy Swiss roll cake with coconut cream. Hopefully you go with someone who likes to share. Bring cookies home for later, like the “matcharelli” (a spin on Italian ricciarelli, a type of macaron that has the best chewy-crisp texture—really, these cookies will blow your mind).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through a special partnership with \u003cstrong>Tartine Manufactory\u003c/strong>, you’ll also find a kinako and orange morning bun (who knew that perfect breakfast treat could be improved?), chashu Danish with a touch of mustard and fine seaweed powder, a furikake everything croissant (you guys, it’s stuffed with cream cheese and it’s marvelous), and an exclusive matcha croissant. Carb heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The space is simple and serene, with a minimalistic style conceived by Tolleson creative agency and Studio BBA. There are banquettes, soft tones of blue, natural wood tones, and ceramics from local and Japanese potters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128028\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1500px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-128028\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior.jpg\" alt=\"The handsome interior of Cento Osteria.\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior.jpg 1500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/cento-interior-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The handsome interior of Cento Osteria. \u003ccite>(Nadia Andreini)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Cento Osteria Opens on the Embarcadero\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/CENTO+OSTERIA/@37.7847584,-122.39061,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x80858077124d4015:0x38e0f45f5bde6793!8m2!3d37.7847542!4d-122.388416\">100 Brannan St., San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nMon-Thu 5:30-10pm; Fri-Sat 5:30-11pm; Sun 5-9:30pm\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now open on the Embarcadero is \u003ca href=\"https://www.centoosteria.com/\">\u003cstrong>Cento Osteria\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>, chef Donato Scotti’s (Donato Enoteca, Cru, Donato & Co.) first restaurant in San Francisco, and it’s designed to be a comfortable and welcoming space, with room for up to 110 diners and bar guests—there’s also a patio with room for 30.

There are black sesame (my favorite) and matcha cream puffs that creatively feature two kinds of dough, and the chocolate tart I tried is one of the best I’ve had, with a crisp layer of \u003cem>feuilletine \u003c/em>at the base, sesame, and kinako (soybean) flour.

Immediately after I swallowed it, my Korean immigrant mother spoon-fed me a homemade liquid with small pieces of boiled Korean pear (\u003cem>bae\u003c/em>), spices, and honey. This was her take on \u003cem>baesuk, \u003c/em>a Korean fruit punch/tea, that she brought to the hospital in a thermos. I remember it lulled my stomach and soothed my throat and chest. The Korean-American pediatrician who oversaw my treatment at the hospital told my mom that he wished he had thought about feeding me this concoction first. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> After I was discharged, I vomited for several days with an upset stomach from all the medicines I had to take.

I always associated \u003cem>jook\u003c/em> with medicine, as it always magically made my stomach feel better.

Immediately after I swallowed it, my Korean immigrant mother spoon-fed me a homemade liquid with small pieces of boiled Korean pear (\u003cem>bae\u003c/em>), spices, and honey. This was her take on \u003cem>baesuk, \u003c/em>a Korean fruit punch/tea, that she brought to the hospital in a thermos. I remember it lulled my stomach and soothed my throat and chest. The Korean-American pediatrician who oversaw my treatment at the hospital told my mom that he wished he had thought about feeding me this concoction first. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> After I was discharged, I vomited for several days with an upset stomach from all the medicines I had to take. My mom would stay up late, soaking rice in water to make me \u003cem>jook,\u003c/em> Korean rice porridge, in the morning. I always associated \u003cem>jook\u003c/em> with medicine, as it always magically made my stomach feel better. My mom trusted Western medicine, but she also looked to Korean food remedies to help with prevention and treating my symptoms. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Cooking foods to soothe sick children is a ritual for mothers around the world. But in Korea, some foods are widely believed to help treat ailments, boost health and prevent disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koreans have been using foods as remedies since the days when monarchs ruled Korea. The best-known written documentation of these culinary remedies is found in \u003cem>Donguibogam\u003c/em> (동의보감), edited by the royal physician Heo Jun during the Joseon dynasty in the 17\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> century. \u003cem>Donguibogam\u003c/em>, which translates as \"a priceless book of medicines,\" consists of 25 volumes — an encyclopedia of sorts — that explore how ailments affect organs and what can be done to treat and prevent diseases. This book is still highly regarded and widely used by Eastern Medicine doctors all over Asia and was \u003ca href=\"http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/memory-of-the-world/register/full-list-of-registered-heritage/registered-heritage-page-2/donguibogam-principles-and-practice-of-eastern-medicine/\">added\u003c/a> to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the research on the medicinal powers of many of these foods is scant, belief in their curative properties is widespread.

Tough kale stalks might be braised, then fried for more texture and tossed into a salad with pickled shallots, radishes and duck confit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127177\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1816px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458.jpg\" alt=\"For Ma, kitchen creativity — and frugality — involves finding uses for items that typically end up in the trash, like tough kale stalks and carrot tops.\" width=\"1816\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127177\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458.jpg 1816w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-160x53.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-800x264.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-768x254.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-1020x337.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-1200x396.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-1180x390.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-960x317.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-240x79.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-375x124.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-520x172.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1816px) 100vw, 1816px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">For Ma, kitchen creativity — and frugality — involves finding uses for items that typically end up in the trash, like tough kale stalks and carrot tops. \u003ccite>(Becky Harlan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I'm in this fine-dining world, but I spend a lot of time going through my garbage,\" jokes Ma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal, he says, is not just to show off his culinary creativity, but to fight food waste — and boost his profit margins. \"Food waste and food cost are everyday money things,\" he says. \"We're still learning every day how to be smarter about it.

That prompted him to find ways to pinch pennies anywhere he could. Among the changes he implemented: Instead of ordering food items in bulk from large distributors with minimum orders, he sought out local purveyors who would sell him just the amounts he needed. \"I can get one head of cauliflower if I needed to,\" he says, whereas before, he might've felt obliged to order a whole case of it, even if half might end up going to waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former electrical engineer, Ma says he's analytical by nature. He says he spends a lot of his time taking mental inventory of the food on hand. \"I walk through the restaurant and see, this is what I have and I think about tomorrow and today. How much of something do I really need?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That kind of frugality is especially important now, he says: Food prices are rising, but the amount that chefs can charge diners for a plate has stayed the same. \"I don't go above $30, but there are a lot of dishes here that cost a lot more [to produce] than a $30 dish should.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ma says he hasn't calculated exactly how much his waste-not philosophy has boosted his profits, but a \u003ca href=\"https://champions123.org/the-business-case-for-reducing-food-loss-and-waste-hotels/\">new report\u003c/a> by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wri.org/\">World Resources Institute\u003c/a> and the food waste reduction organization \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrap.org.uk/\">WRAP\u003c/a> spells out the business case for professional kitchens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report uses data from 42 hotel sites in 15 countries that have implemented waste-reduction strategies — from finding ways to re-purpose kitchen scraps and working with suppliers (like Ma has done) to allow for more flexible ordering for perishable foods, to using a smart scale system to measure and categorize their kitchen waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127180\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2664px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e.jpg\" alt=\"Tim Ma at his D.C. restaurant, Kyirisan.\" width=\"2664\" height=\"1998\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127180\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e.jpg 2664w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2664px) 100vw, 2664px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tim Ma at his D.C. restaurant, Kyirisan. \u003ccite>(Becky Harlan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For every dollar invested in cutting down on food waste, these hotel–based restaurants saw a $7 return on average, the report found.

Carrot peels are recycled, too — fried into thin strips that become a crunchy garnish. Tough kale stalks might be braised, then fried for more texture and tossed into a salad with pickled shallots, radishes and duck confit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127177\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1816px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458.jpg\" alt=\"For Ma, kitchen creativity — and frugality — involves finding uses for items that typically end up in the trash, like tough kale stalks and carrot tops.\" width=\"1816\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127177\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458.jpg 1816w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-160x53.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-800x264.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-768x254.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-1020x337.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-1200x396.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-1180x390.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-960x317.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-240x79.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-375x124.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/tim-ma-food-waste-1_custom-9700fd6bddf3c01fcc2e23ebfa95f7edb8a94458-520x172.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1816px) 100vw, 1816px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">For Ma, kitchen creativity — and frugality — involves finding uses for items that typically end up in the trash, like tough kale stalks and carrot tops. \u003ccite>(Becky Harlan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I'm in this fine-dining world, but I spend a lot of time going through my garbage,\" jokes Ma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal, he says, is not just to show off his culinary creativity, but to fight food waste — and boost his profit margins. \"Food waste and food cost are everyday money things,\" he says. \"We're still learning every day how to be smarter about it.

That prompted him to find ways to pinch pennies anywhere he could. Among the changes he implemented: Instead of ordering food items in bulk from large distributors with minimum orders, he sought out local purveyors who would sell him just the amounts he needed. \"I can get one head of cauliflower if I needed to,\" he says, whereas before, he might've felt obliged to order a whole case of it, even if half might end up going to waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former electrical engineer, Ma says he's analytical by nature. He says he spends a lot of his time taking mental inventory of the food on hand. \"I walk through the restaurant and see, this is what I have and I think about tomorrow and today. How much of something do I really need?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That kind of frugality is especially important now, he says: Food prices are rising, but the amount that chefs can charge diners for a plate has stayed the same. \"I don't go above $30, but there are a lot of dishes here that cost a lot more [to produce] than a $30 dish should.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ma says he hasn't calculated exactly how much his waste-not philosophy has boosted his profits, but a \u003ca href=\"https://champions123.org/the-business-case-for-reducing-food-loss-and-waste-hotels/\">new report\u003c/a> by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wri.org/\">World Resources Institute\u003c/a> and the food waste reduction organization \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrap.org.uk/\">WRAP\u003c/a> spells out the business case for professional kitchens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report uses data from 42 hotel sites in 15 countries that have implemented waste-reduction strategies — from finding ways to re-purpose kitchen scraps and working with suppliers (like Ma has done) to allow for more flexible ordering for perishable foods, to using a smart scale system to measure and categorize their kitchen waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127180\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2664px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e.jpg\" alt=\"Tim Ma at his D.C. restaurant, Kyirisan.\" width=\"2664\" height=\"1998\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127180\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e.jpg 2664w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/harlan_npr_foodwaste_timma-1-7-91d37f06822003e0de9f97535ee354a5eda25e8e-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2664px) 100vw, 2664px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tim Ma at his D.C. restaurant, Kyirisan. \u003ccite>(Becky Harlan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For every dollar invested in cutting down on food waste, these hotel–based restaurants saw a $7 return on average, the report found.

"content": "\u003cp>We hear it all the time--this restaurant has shuttered, that restaurant will be closing its doors just after one year of operation. It seems to be the nature of the beast that is San Francisco. With a discerning clientele, ever-climbing rents, and an all-around uber-competitive landscape, it’s hard enough for seasoned restaurateurs with millions behind them to “make it” in this city. Despite this, there are gems scattered throughout San Francisco that have arguably less resources--less money, less manpower, and less experience. Family-owned and operated restaurants make up for what they lack in finances and pedigree with moxie, grit, and something that is hard to come by for many businesses: a type of camaraderie and trust that only comes with working with loved ones. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these family-owned restaurants tell a story of an older San Francisco, of businesses founded by immigrants who wanted to build a better future for themselves and their children; of those looking to share a part of their culture with their newfound American neighbors; and those who had a passion for food so strong, that not opening a restaurant wasn't a choice. Of course, there are many family-owned eateries in this city. This is just a sampling of family establishments that have remained despite the many changing faces of San Francisco and their stories: how did they start their concept, what obstacles did they encounter, and how have they remained so successful.

It seems to be the nature of the beast that is San Francisco. With a discerning clientele, ever-climbing rents, and an all-around uber-competitive landscape, it’s hard enough for seasoned restaurateurs with millions behind them to “make it” in this city. Despite this, there are gems scattered throughout San Francisco that have arguably less resources--less money, less manpower, and less experience. Family-owned and operated restaurants make up for what they lack in finances and pedigree with moxie, grit, and something that is hard to come by for many businesses: a type of camaraderie and trust that only comes with working with loved ones. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these family-owned restaurants tell a story of an older San Francisco, of businesses founded by immigrants who wanted to build a better future for themselves and their children; of those looking to share a part of their culture with their newfound American neighbors; and those who had a passion for food so strong, that not opening a restaurant wasn't a choice. Of course, there are many family-owned eateries in this city. This is just a sampling of family establishments that have remained despite the many changing faces of San Francisco and their stories: how did they start their concept, what obstacles did they encounter, and how have they remained so successful. What are your favorite places to have a \"welcome home\" meal in the city?

The brothers wanted to make ice cream that was just as good. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126907\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 648px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/Dad-2005.jpg\" alt=\"Larry Mitchell in 2005\" width=\"648\" height=\"864\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126907\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/Dad-2005.jpg 648w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/Dad-2005-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/Dad-2005-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/Dad-2005-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/Dad-2005-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Larry Mitchell in 2005 \u003ccite>(courtesy of Mitchell's)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Finding a vacant storefront, the brothers built their own walk-in freezer and worked closely with the dairy from which they got their milk and cream from to begin Mitchell’s with about a dozen flavors.

Wages’ debut full-time restaurant, Avery, was just unveiled to the shark-infested waters of the discerning SF dining public and can’t be and shouldn’t be talked about in the same ways as those world-renowned legends at such a young age. However, that signature dish of his pop-up, R.T.B., lives on as a new and defining few bites and spoonfuls at the pop-up’s brick and mortar personality, Avery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dish is a remarkable creation in the same pleasurable “hammer you over the head with dense, unrelenting luxurious flavors” as those aforementioned tasting menu staples from the Bay Area’s top toques. Wages takes a rustic Bolognese classic and fills the petite-sized tortellini with cultured butter and mushrooms. Then he partners them with brined and smoked foie gras morsels that boast so much of the latter’s intensity you’d swear they were marinated with mezcal. Then the foie gras and tortellini float in a brodo based on garlic skins — a little seasonal California spark. Everything explodes with precise flavors — fat, umami, nuttiness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the pop-up’s days, the dish saw a few different broths, often one based on grilled bacon that really amped up the smoky-rich-meaty profile, but has been tweaked for Avery. It likely will continue to evolve and may even leave the menu tomorrow. Or, it may stay on the menu for decades like Thomas Keller’s salmon cornets. Who knows? Wages is without question a chef and an artist — and artists never settle for anything. This work is just one of several masterpieces diners will encounter in Avery’s opening days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It shouldn’t be too surprising that there is an artistic angle to the restaurant — from Wages’ food on the delicate plates and ceramics procured from all over the world to the pristine, two-level space — because Avery’s namesake is the early to mid 20\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> century American artist, \u003ca href=\"https://www.wikiart.org/en/milton-avery\">Milton Avery\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>R.T.B.’s namesake is the playful abbreviation for Wages’ given nickname from some fellow chefs: “Rod the Bod.” Avery, on the other hand, doesn’t have much of a personal connection. It’s not like Milton Avery is Wages’ artistic idol or that there is some deep meaning that opened his eyes to the world and Avery convinced him to be a chef. Wages and his business partner/Avery’s general manager, Matthew Mako, are fascinated by the artist’s intense color explorations and abstract presentations of nature and see similarities between that and their idea for Avery as an imaginative, high-end fine dining stripped down to a casual, relaxed experience. Plus, Avery is a short and sweet name and starts with “A.” So, there’s that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126931\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1512px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k.jpg\" alt=\"Matthew Mako and Chef Rodney Wages and his dog.\" width=\"1512\" height=\"2048\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126931\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k.jpg 1512w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-160x217.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-800x1084.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-768x1040.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-1020x1382.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-886x1200.jpg 886w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-1180x1598.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-960x1300.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-240x325.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-375x508.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-520x704.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1512px) 100vw, 1512px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matthew Mako and Chef Rodney Wages and his dog. \u003ccite>(Isabel Baer)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the SF pop-up world, there are chefs who came out of nowhere (Lazy Bear) and then there are the majority of the chefs who have worked their way up the ladder in the region’s best restaurants (Liholiho Yacht Club) and decided it’s time to do their own thing. Wages is squarely in the latter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chef is a native of Kansas and much of his culinary vision can be credited to what is lacking across his home state’s prairies but is abundant in the Bay Area. Wages’ started restaurant cooking (and dishwashing) as a 15-year old in Leavenworth, Kansas, a town best known for its prison that housed Michael Vick for operating a dog-fighting ring and James Earl Ray a decade before he assassinated Martin Luther King Jr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in high school, Rodney helped those restaurant owners in Leavenworth open a fried chicken concept one town away and that’s when he acknowledges first seriously catching the cooking bug. He graduated from high school a semester early after seeing a cooking school ad in a newspaper and that led him to the Cordon Bleu school in Minneapolis. An internship at the French Laundry proved to be his golden ticket in the industry, spending four years moving around the kitchen in Yountville under its then-chef de cuisine Corey Lee (now chef-owner of Benu) before Wages left to help open (recently closed) RN74 in San Francisco. Wages credits a dinner that he cooked with Lee in Lee’s native Seoul, South Korea as opening his eyes to the techniques and ingredients of East Asian cuisines that was a key part of R.T.B’s style and now Avery’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wages later joined Lee to open Benu and then delved deeper into East Asian cooking (specifically Japan) as chef de cuisine of Morimoto in Napa. He returned to San Francisco fine dining afterwards at Saison, where his name started popping up on “future chefs to watch” radars in the city after two and a half years at the SoMa fixture. That’s where he picked up a love for live-fire cooking — Saison’s signature style and one that occurs again and again at Avery. The chef briefly left the restaurant world to start his own caviar business but decided that cooking for diners is more of his style than selling to customers. So, it was off to Atelier Crenn for a year as chef de cuisine, where he learned more about the business side of restaurants by helping with communications and operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That can only mean one thing for highly talented San Francisco chefs — next stop: pop-up then permanent restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126798\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new.jpg\" alt=\"Upstairs dining area at Avery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126798\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Upstairs dining area at Avery \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Avery’s staff comes mainly from those final two SF heavyweights on Wages’ resume. Chef de cuisine Kristina Compton was executive sous chef for Wages at Atelier Crenn. Sommelier Daniel Bromberg worked at Les Clos, a now closed wine bar sibling to Saison. Mako was a maître’d at Saison, in addition to working on the opening team at Benu where he met Wages. In short, it’s all in the family of SF tasting menu restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compared to the likes of Saison, Benu and Atelier Crenn, Avery is a downright bargain. Of course, it’s a pricey night out but it’s not on the same level of credit card blowout as those peers. The “Cello Player” of seven to nine courses is $89 and the “Shades of Spring” featuring 10-15 courses is $189. Don’t worry, the longer menu will change its name each season. Yes, both menus are indeed named for works by Milton Avery. And, if you are seeking that next-level extravagant menu, then there’s always “Avery’s Room,” the private dining room with a $289 special menu for six to eight guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wages’ cooking falls into the category of lots of ‘kind ofs’ where it’s New American meets contemporary Californian and abstract modernism, with lots of live-fire cooking, some distinct influences from East Asian cuisines and a few hints of European classics tossed in. Confused? Yes, so let’s bypass the labels and sum it up as a deeply personal, highly stylized and very ambitious style of cooking that originates from California’s seasons and covers a wide spectrum of concepts from there, led by live-fire grilling and East Asia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar to R.T.B., the menu descriptions are what you might call \u003cem>simple\u003c/em>. There are no shout outs to the farms of Bolinas and in-depth lists of the sauce ingredients. The ‘tortellini en brodo’ is called just that and resides in the middle of both hand-written menus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The menus will constantly change but, for now, a broth with grains starts both menus. A few dishes from the longer menu, like ‘caviar,’ ‘jamon Iberico,’ ‘Fort Bragg sea urchin’ and ‘snow beef’ made from Wagyu, are offered as supplements on the $89 menu. Otherwise, they have the same core dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone will enjoy a golden spoonful of smoked trout roe hiding an aioli-like concoction made of whipped avocado and sesame. It arrives paired with ‘raw,’ some delicate sashimi, that might be sea bream one night and kanpachi on the next night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126776\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new.jpg\" alt=\"Smoked trout roe hiding an aioli-like concoction made of whipped avocado and sesame\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126776\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-800x1066.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Smoked trout roe hiding an aioli-like concoction made of whipped avocado and sesame \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126775\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new.jpg\" alt=\"Paired with ‘raw,’ some delicate sashimi\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126775\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-800x1066.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paired with ‘raw,’ some delicate sashimi \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Oysters and aebleskivers come next.

The space previously was another tasting menu restaurant, Mosu, that opened as exclusively a $198 tasting menu and became a gentrification symbol much in the same way as Google buses. Diners (other than \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/When-new-restaurants-push-the-price-too-far-too-8380503.php\">one prominent critic\u003c/a>) felt the food was indeed spectacular (this writer was in that camp) but the space was austere and simple to the point of almost seeming too harsh for appreciating such complex food. Mosu’s chef-owner, Sung Anh, has moved on to open a concept in Seoul and this opportunity presented itself for Wages. There is a definite connection of why this hand off took place so seamlessly compared to most SF restaurant changes. The two worked together at the French Laundry under Corey Lee and Wages considers Sung a mentor. Compton also was a sous chef for Sung during Mosu’s one-year run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco-based designer Noz Nozawa of \u003ca href=\"http://nozdesign.co/xz8dmu6fydhlbarrtb4bhxdv75t6bs\">Noz Design\u003c/a> reinvigorated the Mosu interior, with the help of Wages and Mako, keeping the same semi-hidden upstairs-downstairs set-up that makes the space somewhat quirky and like dining in a loft with bunk bed-style dining rooms. The entryway has no second story, giving off a grand welcome with the frosted floor to ceiling windows streaming in sunlight but blocking out the Fillmore street activity. A screen-like, semi-secret black wall blocks off the ground floor’s ten seats from the door, adding intrigue to the downstairs dining area where the longer tasting menu is served.

Chic black banquettes and bare black tables simply adorned with shell-like candle spheres and tiny plants in coral-like miniature pots serve as a contemporary juxtaposition to the retro, almost “Mad Men” era-evoking white chairs with delightfully oversized backs designed by the legendary Italian firm, Calligaris. Soft, gray mohair blankets on the banquettes invite cozying up, which some diners might be tempted by after course eight and the third glass of wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, make sure to look up to appreciate the dramatic light fixtures and the skylight in the Avery room, along with looking down to see the elegant patterned carpeting that can look like tide pools along the coast from certain angles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all of this design talk, let’s not get ahead of ourselves — the striking interior elements in the two dining spaces are most certainly the custom Venetian plaster wall treatments with murals by \u003ca href=\"http://<a%20href=\" https:>San Francisco-based artist Victor Reyes\u003c/a>.

Reyes’ outdoor art and murals really got noticed after his move to San Francisco and a project of painting each letter of the alphabet in the Mission. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, he has received lots of attention and praise for his fascinating artistic sense of exploration and pursuit of mystery through breaking down recognizable objects. Like most modern art, everyone will have their own opinion of what the dining room mural is presenting but there’s no doubt that the sweeping brushes of sea blue against the pale plaster call to mind ocean waves (there’s the earth and sea element, again) and a gritty edge to the elegance provided by luxurious glassware and the finest ingredients on the table. Dare we say, it’s almost a little like a work Avery might do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the restaurant’s look is a thrilling, eloquent clash of the unfinished and the refined, the industrial and the polished — something we’ve seen for two decades at bistros, bars and gastropubs and we’re seeing more and more of at higher-end restaurants (see: Benu). Avery has hip hop on the soundtrack, exposed pipes running along the ceiling and plenty of jamon Iberico, foie gras and smoked trout roe for the crowd — yes, the days of Masa’s and Ernie’s are over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also plans for an investor to bring in an actual Avery painting to be a part of the interior design, so stay tuned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re certainly starting to see culinary art literally work together with visual art. It’s an exciting direction for dining to go towards. Remember, it was Corey Lee who brought an innovative restaurant concept, In Situ, to SF MoMA. Now the roles are reversed — the restaurant welcomes the art museum — or, at least is welcoming the artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, isn’t the best kind of art the edible kind? Don’t we all wish we could take a bite out of the still lifes by Cézanne? Well, this art at Avery is very edible and each tasting menu is as striking as the restaurant namesake’s portfolio of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126803\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new.jpg\" alt=\"The entryway to Avery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126803\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The entryway to Avery \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003ca href=\"http://www.averysf.com\">\u003cstrong>Avery\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1552 Fillmore St. \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/RTB+Fillmore/@37.7840602,-122.434765,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x80858062edd49d5f:0xd5dacdc7799506e!8m2!3d37.784056!4d-122.432571\">MAP\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94116\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 817-1187\u003cbr>\nHours: Dinner Wed–Sun from 5:30pm-9:30pm; closed Monday and Tuesday\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/averyinsf/\">Avery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/avery_sf/\">@avery_sf\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$$$ (tasting menus begin at $89 per person)\u003c/p>\n\n",

Wages’ debut full-time restaurant, Avery, was just unveiled to the shark-infested waters of the discerning SF dining public and can’t be and shouldn’t be talked about in the same ways as those world-renowned legends at such a young age. However, that signature dish of his pop-up, R.T.B., lives on as a new and defining few bites and spoonfuls at the pop-up’s brick and mortar personality, Avery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dish is a remarkable creation in the same pleasurable “hammer you over the head with dense, unrelenting luxurious flavors” as those aforementioned tasting menu staples from the Bay Area’s top toques. Wages takes a rustic Bolognese classic and fills the petite-sized tortellini with cultured butter and mushrooms. Then he partners them with brined and smoked foie gras morsels that boast so much of the latter’s intensity you’d swear they were marinated with mezcal. Then the foie gras and tortellini float in a brodo based on garlic skins — a little seasonal California spark. Everything explodes with precise flavors — fat, umami, nuttiness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the pop-up’s days, the dish saw a few different broths, often one based on grilled bacon that really amped up the smoky-rich-meaty profile, but has been tweaked for Avery. It likely will continue to evolve and may even leave the menu tomorrow. Or, it may stay on the menu for decades like Thomas Keller’s salmon cornets. Who knows? Wages is without question a chef and an artist — and artists never settle for anything. This work is just one of several masterpieces diners will encounter in Avery’s opening days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s not like Milton Avery is Wages’ artistic idol or that there is some deep meaning that opened his eyes to the world and Avery convinced him to be a chef. Wages and his business partner/Avery’s general manager, Matthew Mako, are fascinated by the artist’s intense color explorations and abstract presentations of nature and see similarities between that and their idea for Avery as an imaginative, high-end fine dining stripped down to a casual, relaxed experience. Plus, Avery is a short and sweet name and starts with “A.” So, there’s that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126931\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1512px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k.jpg\" alt=\"Matthew Mako and Chef Rodney Wages and his dog.\" width=\"1512\" height=\"2048\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126931\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k.jpg 1512w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-160x217.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-800x1084.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-768x1040.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-1020x1382.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-886x1200.jpg 886w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-1180x1598.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-960x1300.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-240x325.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-375x508.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/40700623681_51679c84f6_k-520x704.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1512px) 100vw, 1512px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matthew Mako and Chef Rodney Wages and his dog. \u003ccite>(Isabel Baer)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the SF pop-up world, there are chefs who came out of nowhere (Lazy Bear) and then there are the majority of the chefs who have worked their way up the ladder in the region’s best restaurants (Liholiho Yacht Club) and decided it’s time to do their own thing. Wages is squarely in the latter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chef is a native of Kansas and much of his culinary vision can be credited to what is lacking across his home state’s prairies but is abundant in the Bay Area. Wages’ started restaurant cooking (and dishwashing) as a 15-year old in Leavenworth, Kansas, a town best known for its prison that housed Michael Vick for operating a dog-fighting ring and James Earl Ray a decade before he assassinated Martin Luther King Jr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in high school, Rodney helped those restaurant owners in Leavenworth open a fried chicken concept one town away and that’s when he acknowledges first seriously catching the cooking bug. He graduated from high school a semester early after seeing a cooking school ad in a newspaper and that led him to the Cordon Bleu school in Minneapolis. An internship at the French Laundry proved to be his golden ticket in the industry, spending four years moving around the kitchen in Yountville under its then-chef de cuisine Corey Lee (now chef-owner of Benu) before Wages left to help open (recently closed) RN74 in San Francisco. Wages credits a dinner that he cooked with Lee in Lee’s native Seoul, South Korea as opening his eyes to the techniques and ingredients of East Asian cuisines that was a key part of R.T.B’s style and now Avery’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wages later joined Lee to open Benu and then delved deeper into East Asian cooking (specifically Japan) as chef de cuisine of Morimoto in Napa. He returned to San Francisco fine dining afterwards at Saison, where his name started popping up on “future chefs to watch” radars in the city after two and a half years at the SoMa fixture. That’s where he picked up a love for live-fire cooking — Saison’s signature style and one that occurs again and again at Avery. The chef briefly left the restaurant world to start his own caviar business but decided that cooking for diners is more of his style than selling to customers. So, it was off to Atelier Crenn for a year as chef de cuisine, where he learned more about the business side of restaurants by helping with communications and operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That can only mean one thing for highly talented San Francisco chefs — next stop: pop-up then permanent restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126798\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new.jpg\" alt=\"Upstairs dining area at Avery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126798\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1759-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Upstairs dining area at Avery \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Avery’s staff comes mainly from those final two SF heavyweights on Wages’ resume. Chef de cuisine Kristina Compton was executive sous chef for Wages at Atelier Crenn. Sommelier Daniel Bromberg worked at Les Clos, a now closed wine bar sibling to Saison. Mako was a maître’d at Saison, in addition to working on the opening team at Benu where he met Wages. In short, it’s all in the family of SF tasting menu restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compared to the likes of Saison, Benu and Atelier Crenn, Avery is a downright bargain. Of course, it’s a pricey night out but it’s not on the same level of credit card blowout as those peers. The “Cello Player” of seven to nine courses is $89 and the “Shades of Spring” featuring 10-15 courses is $189. Don’t worry, the longer menu will change its name each season. Yes, both menus are indeed named for works by Milton Avery. And, if you are seeking that next-level extravagant menu, then there’s always “Avery’s Room,” the private dining room with a $289 special menu for six to eight guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wages’ cooking falls into the category of lots of ‘kind ofs’ where it’s New American meets contemporary Californian and abstract modernism, with lots of live-fire cooking, some distinct influences from East Asian cuisines and a few hints of European classics tossed in. Confused? Yes, so let’s bypass the labels and sum it up as a deeply personal, highly stylized and very ambitious style of cooking that originates from California’s seasons and covers a wide spectrum of concepts from there, led by live-fire grilling and East Asia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar to R.T.B., the menu descriptions are what you might call \u003cem>simple\u003c/em>. There are no shout outs to the farms of Bolinas and in-depth lists of the sauce ingredients. The ‘tortellini en brodo’ is called just that and resides in the middle of both hand-written menus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The menus will constantly change but, for now, a broth with grains starts both menus. A few dishes from the longer menu, like ‘caviar,’ ‘jamon Iberico,’ ‘Fort Bragg sea urchin’ and ‘snow beef’ made from Wagyu, are offered as supplements on the $89 menu. Otherwise, they have the same core dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone will enjoy a golden spoonful of smoked trout roe hiding an aioli-like concoction made of whipped avocado and sesame. It arrives paired with ‘raw,’ some delicate sashimi, that might be sea bream one night and kanpachi on the next night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126776\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new.jpg\" alt=\"Smoked trout roe hiding an aioli-like concoction made of whipped avocado and sesame\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126776\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-800x1066.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7676-new-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Smoked trout roe hiding an aioli-like concoction made of whipped avocado and sesame \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126775\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new.jpg\" alt=\"Paired with ‘raw,’ some delicate sashimi\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126775\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-800x1066.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7675-new-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paired with ‘raw,’ some delicate sashimi \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Oysters and aebleskivers come next.

It’s filled with diced broccoli that has been blanched in a seaweed broth and grilled with onion butter, then joins garlic puree in the center of the orbs. Then the orbs are topped with garlic mayonnaise, fried shrimp and charred scallions, completing a bread-crispy seafood-mayonnaise trifecta that is as much an example of Japanese takoyaki as it is a stylized Danish doughnut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126778\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7693-new.jpg\" alt=\"Aebleskivers\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126778\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7693-new.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7693-new-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7693-new-800x1066.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7693-new-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7693-new-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7693-new-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7693-new-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7693-new-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7693-new-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aebleskivers \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Jumping from France and Denmark to Southeast Asia, the seafaring dishes continue with a ‘lobster curry’ fortified by Thai spices, yogurt and coconut oil.

The space previously was another tasting menu restaurant, Mosu, that opened as exclusively a $198 tasting menu and became a gentrification symbol much in the same way as Google buses. Diners (other than \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/When-new-restaurants-push-the-price-too-far-too-8380503.php\">one prominent critic\u003c/a>) felt the food was indeed spectacular (this writer was in that camp) but the space was austere and simple to the point of almost seeming too harsh for appreciating such complex food. Mosu’s chef-owner, Sung Anh, has moved on to open a concept in Seoul and this opportunity presented itself for Wages. There is a definite connection of why this hand off took place so seamlessly compared to most SF restaurant changes. The two worked together at the French Laundry under Corey Lee and Wages considers Sung a mentor. Compton also was a sous chef for Sung during Mosu’s one-year run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco-based designer Noz Nozawa of \u003ca href=\"http://nozdesign.co/xz8dmu6fydhlbarrtb4bhxdv75t6bs\">Noz Design\u003c/a> reinvigorated the Mosu interior, with the help of Wages and Mako, keeping the same semi-hidden upstairs-downstairs set-up that makes the space somewhat quirky and like dining in a loft with bunk bed-style dining rooms. The entryway has no second story, giving off a grand welcome with the frosted floor to ceiling windows streaming in sunlight but blocking out the Fillmore street activity. A screen-like, semi-secret black wall blocks off the ground floor’s ten seats from the door, adding intrigue to the downstairs dining area where the longer tasting menu is served. The screen-like wall rises to the ceiling and also provides a pseudo-hidden feel for the upstairs dining area where 16 diners can enjoy the shorter tasting menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126801\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new.jpg\" alt=\"Downstairs dining area at Avery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126801\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1843-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Downstairs dining area at Avery \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Avery’s two levels are attached by a stairway to the left side of the front door and the immaculate kitchen is attached to the downstairs dining room and appears in clear view with no walls or doors, in the rear of the space.

Reyes’ outdoor art and murals really got noticed after his move to San Francisco and a project of painting each letter of the alphabet in the Mission. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, he has received lots of attention and praise for his fascinating artistic sense of exploration and pursuit of mystery through breaking down recognizable objects. Like most modern art, everyone will have their own opinion of what the dining room mural is presenting but there’s no doubt that the sweeping brushes of sea blue against the pale plaster call to mind ocean waves (there’s the earth and sea element, again) and a gritty edge to the elegance provided by luxurious glassware and the finest ingredients on the table. Dare we say, it’s almost a little like a work Avery might do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the restaurant’s look is a thrilling, eloquent clash of the unfinished and the refined, the industrial and the polished — something we’ve seen for two decades at bistros, bars and gastropubs and we’re seeing more and more of at higher-end restaurants (see: Benu). Avery has hip hop on the soundtrack, exposed pipes running along the ceiling and plenty of jamon Iberico, foie gras and smoked trout roe for the crowd — yes, the days of Masa’s and Ernie’s are over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also plans for an investor to bring in an actual Avery painting to be a part of the interior design, so stay tuned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re certainly starting to see culinary art literally work together with visual art. It’s an exciting direction for dining to go towards. Remember, it was Corey Lee who brought an innovative restaurant concept, In Situ, to SF MoMA. Now the roles are reversed — the restaurant welcomes the art museum — or, at least is welcoming the artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, isn’t the best kind of art the edible kind? Don’t we all wish we could take a bite out of the still lifes by Cézanne? Well, this art at Avery is very edible and each tasting menu is as striking as the restaurant namesake’s portfolio of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126803\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new.jpg\" alt=\"The entryway to Avery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126803\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1836-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The entryway to Avery \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Just back from a trip to Chengdu, China, he excitedly shows the audience—on this particular evening, a group of KQED members—footage that they shot while on location in Chengdu: adorable pandas chewing on bamboo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yan is best known as the energetic, crowd-pleasing Chinese American host of the long-running cooking show, \u003cem>Yan Can Cook\u003c/em>. He is also a restaurateur, cookbook author, and has his own line of kitchen appliances. \u003cem>Yan Can Cook\u003c/em> launched in 1979, premiering on Canadian TV and then landing on PBS in 1982. For the past 38 years, he’s filmed more than 3,500 cooking show episodes in the U.S. and internationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yan is taping the cooking portion of the show on that particular evening, making a Malaysian shrimp dish with spicy chili coconut milk. I caught up with the host just before the taping in the Emeryville studio. CAAM has honored Yan at CAAMFeast.

We have 65 percent of the show content is on location. About 35 percent is studio cooking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I brought back a lot of props, a lot of ingredients, and a lot of cooking techniques that I learned.

You go to the Great Wall, about one-tenth of the people of the tourists are from America. The first thing they go there, is to eat local food.

When you get there, you taste local flavors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think Chinese food has made the inroads over 150 years ago and continues to be popular [in the U.S.]. The different thing is, the transition from typical chop suey, chow mien food culture, to more sophisticated, more refined, and more diverse regional cuisine.

Even though I also go to the fact that, “Hey, if you don’t find betelnuts or this and that, use almonds use other things.” But that kind of inclusion of ingredients doesn’t mean you’re changing it. I’m quite sure a lot of the young chefs have a good understanding of the basic principle of Asian techniques, the spirit of Asian cuisine, whether it is Chinese, Japanese.

Being creative, being inventive, being contemporary, and still maintaining the basic foundation is the way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are your favorite dishes to cook at home?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nMost chefs, even if they love to cook at home, they normally cook the simplest. I stock up my restaurant with all the seasoning and basic ingredients. I always have a lot of leafy vegetables. This is my basic diet. I eat a vegetable-based diet. I haven’t gained a pound in 30 years. I’m not a vegetarian but I read a lot of articles about how healthy a vegetable-based diet is. And using meat as a condiment and as flavoring agent rather than eat a lot of meat. We are a nation of overeating. The key is to eat properly, have the right diet, and exercise. I work with AARP as an ambassador with Gary Locke and we promote an active lifestyle, healthy lifestyle, and to socialize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people in America when they get older, they stay put at home and watch television. I encourage them to get up, and move around and say hello to your neighbor. Cooking something at home and share with your neighbors. The whole idea is sharing. When you share, you have a sense of satisfaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People always say, why don’t you retire? If I enjoy what I’m doing, why should I retire? I went to see Lionel Richie. This guy is about 70 years old. Still singing and jumping around! All these entertainers and actors and Supreme Court justices. If you feel that you’re making a contribution and enjoy what you do, why retire?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you feel like you’re doing more now?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI don’t know what happened!

The ants nest in mango trees, and little children are sent into the tree to harvest the ants and fresh egg sacs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We got this salad, came to the table and there's like ants crawling in and out of it,\" Syhabout says. \"You just bite them before they bite you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laos shares a border with Thailand, and Lao cooking is a cousin to Thai — the distant cousin you've never met.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Syhabout says that's kind of the point of his cookbook: To introduce more people to the cuisine\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The food that we know as Thai food, it's sweeter ... I call it the Coca-Cola culture\" he says. \"We all love soda, candy, you know, things that are sweet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Syhabout's father is from Laos; his mother is Lao by language and culture, but was born in Thailand. The family came to California as refugees, fleeing violence and the aftermath of the Vietnam War when James was 2 years old. They settled in Oakland, but still ate food that tasted of home, such as curried green beans with candied pork — despite the family's meager means.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With welfare and food stamps you're only able to buy certain things. We couldn't buy fresh meant — we would only buy Oscar Mayer bacon. So my mother was intuitive enough, and she used bacon to make the green beans for us,\" Syhabout says. \"From a chef's standpoint, I thought it was brilliant. She was just trying to survive and she was homesick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His mom opened a Thai restaurant. As a kid he remembers asking his mother, \"Why do you cook Lao for us at home and Thai for the restaurant?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her answer involved perception, saying, \"They'll probably say it smells bad and it's too spicy and it doesn't appear appetizing — like, 'look, it's murky green, this thing looks like a bowl of swamp.

Because of that he says he missed a lot of events, such as birthday parties, and play dates while he was washing pots and pans and picking the stems off of chilies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That being said, he loved how stimulating a kitchen could be. The smells, the sounds and getting to learn how to use the tools of the kitchen were all things he enjoyed. By his sophomore year of high school, his mind was made up: He would become a chef.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After culinary school, Shyabout moved to Europe and trained in classical French techniques, working in some of the best restaurants in the world. Eventually he got the itch to come back to Oakland, and opened the \u003ca href=\"http://commisrestaurant.com/\">city's only Michelin-starred restaurant, Commis\u003c/a> — serving fancy California cuisine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, he said, nostalgia set in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What got me into cooking in the first place was this food that I crave and miss.

But make jeow padek? I have no clue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, Syhabout \u003ca href=\"http://www.hawkerfare.com/\">opened Hawker Fare\u003c/a> in San Francisco in 2011.

I call it the Coca-Cola culture\" he says. \"We all love soda, candy, you know, things that are sweet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Syhabout's father is from Laos; his mother is Lao by language and culture, but was born in Thailand. The family came to California as refugees, fleeing violence and the aftermath of the Vietnam War when James was 2 years old. They settled in Oakland, but still ate food that tasted of home, such as curried green beans with candied pork — despite the family's meager means.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With welfare and food stamps you're only able to buy certain things. We couldn't buy fresh meant — we would only buy Oscar Mayer bacon. So my mother was intuitive enough, and she used bacon to make the green beans for us,\" Syhabout says. \"From a chef's standpoint, I thought it was brilliant. She was just trying to survive and she was homesick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His mom opened a Thai restaurant. As a kid he remembers asking his mother, \"Why do you cook Lao for us at home and Thai for the restaurant?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her answer involved perception, saying, \"They'll probably say it smells bad and it's too spicy and it doesn't appear appetizing — like, 'look, it's murky green, this thing looks like a bowl of swamp.

Because of that he says he missed a lot of events, such as birthday parties, and play dates while he was washing pots and pans and picking the stems off of chilies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That being said, he loved how stimulating a kitchen could be. The smells, the sounds and getting to learn how to use the tools of the kitchen were all things he enjoyed. By his sophomore year of high school, his mind was made up: He would become a chef.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After culinary school, Shyabout moved to Europe and trained in classical French techniques, working in some of the best restaurants in the world. Eventually he got the itch to come back to Oakland, and opened the \u003ca href=\"http://commisrestaurant.com/\">city's only Michelin-starred restaurant, Commis\u003c/a> — serving fancy California cuisine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, he said, nostalgia set in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What got me into cooking in the first place was this food that I crave and miss.

You’ll want to make this year-round.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This variation on chicken tikka masala really could not be easier, and it’s great when you are tired of cooking—whether it’s during the holidays or just a busy weeknight. Once you saute the onion, it’s really just a matter of adding the aromatics and spices along with a can of tomatoes, then letting the sauce simmer (to develop better flavor) for about 30 minutes. This is a good time to sit down, relax, have a glass of wine, and pretend that you have been sweating over the stove for a good long time making this meal. Or put on a pot of rice to steam while the sauce simmers (unless you are making brown rice, it should take about the same amount of time).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a complete meal, serve the curry over steamed basmati rice, with some toasted whole wheat naan, and plain yogurt or raita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make chicken tikka masala, swap out the turkey for the same amount of cooked, chopped

You’ll want to make this year-round.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This variation on chicken tikka masala really could not be easier, and it’s great when you are tired of cooking—whether it’s during the holidays or just a busy weeknight. Once you saute the onion, it’s really just a matter of adding the aromatics and spices along with a can of tomatoes, then letting the sauce simmer (to develop better flavor) for about 30 minutes. This is a good time to sit down, relax, have a glass of wine, and pretend that you have been sweating over the stove for a good long time making this meal. Or put on a pot of rice to steam while the sauce simmers (unless you are making brown rice, it should take about the same amount of time).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a complete meal, serve the curry over steamed basmati rice, with some toasted whole wheat naan, and plain yogurt or raita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make chicken tikka masala, swap out the turkey for the same amount of cooked, chopped chicken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122864\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122864\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1.jpg\" alt=\"Indian-Style Turkey Tikka Masala\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9658-new1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Indian-Style Turkey Tikka Masala \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Indian-Style Turkey Tikka Masala\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Check out this amazingly easy noodle salad, which hits all the key notes: salty, crunchy, creamy, and delicious!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I admit it, I am not the best salad maker. Let me clarify: I make a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/11/16/thanksgiving-dessert-classic-spiced-maple-pumpkin-pie/\">mean pie\u003c/a>, I can \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/05/24/memorial-day-bbq-simply-awesome-grilled-bone-in-ribeye-steak/\">grill a gorgeous steak\u003c/a>, and I love to make \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/02/18/lets-get-healthy-green-chicken-and-veggie-curry/\">curries\u003c/a>, but just a regular green salad seems to elude me. It seems simple enough, but it’s never as good as anything I get at say, \u003ca href=\"http://dellafattoria.com/\">Della Fattoria\u003c/a> or another great little café. This has been vexing me for some time. But I finally realized something: I might not pull off the world’s best green salad, but I’m pretty good at hearty, entrée-style salads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ll take what I can get. Throw me some hunks of chewy toasted bread and fresh summer tomatoes, and I’ll give you a killer panzanella. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/07/01/time-to-grill-for-the-4th-of-july-grilled-corn-avocado-heirloom-tomato-red-onion-salad/\">Grilled corn and avocado\u003c/a>? No problem. Got some farro and roasted asparagus…I’ll make a Meyer lemon vinaigrette that will make those ingredients sing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, when I was trying to figure out a healthy, light salad that would utilize leftover turkey, I threw the whole idea of a green salad right out the door. Someone else can make that one—better than me! This salad was inspired by a truly amazing salad I had at the relatively new takeaway lunch spot, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lunchettepetaluma.com/\">Lunchette\u003c/a>, in Petaluma. Their salad is slightly different than this one, with poached shrimp, shards of coconut, and a red curry vinaigrette. But the basic premise was similar: rice noodles, shredded zucchini noodles, fresh herbs, and veggies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was with that delicious salad in mind that I came up with this recipe. The foundation of the salad is a mix of thin, vermicelli-style rice noodles and spiralized zucchini noodles. You can either use a vegetable spiral-cutter to create the zucchini noodles, purchase them already “noodled,” or just use a regular vegetable peeler and peel the zucchini into ribbons (down to the core). I added carrot, cucumber, a bunch of herbs, and some shredded leftover turkey breast. You can also just use chicken or do without it completely. Or add shrimp!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dressing is a lime and peanut vinaigrette. If you want to make a vegetarian version, just omit the fish sauce. Sambal oelek is a yummy chile paste that adds flavor and heat, but again, you can do without it but you will lose a bit of flavor (or better yet, add more for a little more spice!); substitute siracha if you can’t find sambal oelek. You can easily make the dressing in advance up to a few days ahead, just store it in the fridge in an airtight container.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hands-down this is now one of my favorite salad recipes, and is definitely going in rotation in my house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122758\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122758\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1.jpg\" alt=\"Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Dressing\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup lime juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large garlic clove, chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp peanut butter\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 1/2 tbsp light brown sugar, or to taste\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp soy sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp fish sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp peeled and grated fresh ginger\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp sambal oelek (chile paste)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup vegetable oil\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122728\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122728\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new.jpg\" alt=\"Asian-Style Noodle Salad ingredients.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asian-Style Noodle Salad ingredients. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Salad\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>4 oz vermicelli rice noodles\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 small zucchini (1/2 lb), trimmed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups shredded leftover roast turkey\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 medium carrot, peeled\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small (or 1/2 large) English cucumber, trimmed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped Thai basil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup roughly chopped roasted salted peanuts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 limes, cut into wedges\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>To make the dressing, add all the ingredients except oil to a blender.

Check out this amazingly easy noodle salad, which hits all the key notes: salty, crunchy, creamy, and delicious!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I admit it, I am not the best salad maker. Let me clarify: I make a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/11/16/thanksgiving-dessert-classic-spiced-maple-pumpkin-pie/\">mean pie\u003c/a>, I can \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/05/24/memorial-day-bbq-simply-awesome-grilled-bone-in-ribeye-steak/\">grill a gorgeous steak\u003c/a>, and I love to make \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/02/18/lets-get-healthy-green-chicken-and-veggie-curry/\">curries\u003c/a>, but just a regular green salad seems to elude me. It seems simple enough, but it’s never as good as anything I get at say, \u003ca href=\"http://dellafattoria.com/\">Della Fattoria\u003c/a> or another great little café. This has been vexing me for some time. But I finally realized something: I might not pull off the world’s best green salad, but I’m pretty good at hearty, entrée-style salads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ll take what I can get. Throw me some hunks of chewy toasted bread and fresh summer tomatoes, and I’ll give you a killer panzanella. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/07/01/time-to-grill-for-the-4th-of-july-grilled-corn-avocado-heirloom-tomato-red-onion-salad/\">Grilled corn and avocado\u003c/a>? No problem. Got some farro and roasted asparagus…I’ll make a Meyer lemon vinaigrette that will make those ingredients sing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, when I was trying to figure out a healthy, light salad that would utilize leftover turkey, I threw the whole idea of a green salad right out the door. Someone else can make that one—better than me! This salad was inspired by a truly amazing salad I had at the relatively new takeaway lunch spot, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lunchettepetaluma.com/\">Lunchette\u003c/a>, in Petaluma. Their salad is slightly different than this one, with poached shrimp, shards of coconut, and a red curry vinaigrette. But the basic premise was similar: rice noodles, shredded zucchini noodles, fresh herbs, and veggies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The foundation of the salad is a mix of thin, vermicelli-style rice noodles and spiralized zucchini noodles. You can either use a vegetable spiral-cutter to create the zucchini noodles, purchase them already “noodled,” or just use a regular vegetable peeler and peel the zucchini into ribbons (down to the core). I added carrot, cucumber, a bunch of herbs, and some shredded leftover turkey breast. You can also just use chicken or do without it completely. Or add shrimp!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dressing is a lime and peanut vinaigrette. If you want to make a vegetarian version, just omit the fish sauce. Sambal oelek is a yummy chile paste that adds flavor and heat, but again, you can do without it but you will lose a bit of flavor (or better yet, add more for a little more spice!); substitute siracha if you can’t find sambal oelek. You can easily make the dressing in advance up to a few days ahead, just store it in the fridge in an airtight container.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hands-down this is now one of my favorite salad recipes, and is definitely going in rotation in my house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122758\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122758\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1.jpg\" alt=\"Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9511-new1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Turkey, Veggies, Herbs, and Lime-Peanut Vinaigrette\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Dressing\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup lime juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large garlic clove, chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp peanut butter\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 1/2 tbsp light brown sugar, or to taste\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp soy sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp fish sauce\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp peeled and grated fresh ginger\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp sambal oelek (chile paste)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup vegetable oil\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122728\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122728\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new.jpg\" alt=\"Asian-Style Noodle Salad ingredients.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_9294-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asian-Style Noodle Salad ingredients. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Salad\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>4 oz vermicelli rice noodles\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 small zucchini (1/2 lb), trimmed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups shredded leftover roast turkey\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 medium carrot, peeled\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small (or 1/2 large) English cucumber, trimmed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup chopped Thai basil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup roughly chopped roasted salted peanuts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 limes, cut into wedges\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>To make the dressing, add all the ingredients except oil to a blender.

What sets Wagyu beef apart from other foods, Inagaki explains, is the balance of these compounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The largest contributor to the Wagyu smell is a compound derived from fatty acid. There's some logic to this — there's a lot of fat in Wagyu beef. Looking at the flesh, or a photo of it at least, you can see flecks of fat in the meat. \u003ca href=\"https://nfs.tamu.edu/people/smith-stephen-b/\">Stephen Smith\u003c/a>, Texas A&M professor of meat science says, \"To me, it's a sea of white with a few flecks of red.\" Smith explains that the cattle are bred and raised to have 30 to 40 percent fat in the muscle. He says that typical U.S. beef won't even come close to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iowa State University professor of animal science \u003ca href=\"http://www.ans.iastate.edu/people/joseph-sebranek\">Joseph Sebranek\u003c/a> explains, \"It's a genetic trait of these particular breeds of cattle to lay down more fat and give a different fatty acid composition.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith adds that it's also partially dietary — the animals are typically fed corn and are kept alive longer than other types of cattle. High quality U.S. beef is from animals likely fed for 16 to 18 months, he says, while Wagyu beef is fed for at least 30 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're trying to sink your teeth into this beef in the U.S., good luck. Wagyu, Smith says, means \"Japanese style cattle,\" and hails from four Japanese breeds. There is \"\u003ca href=\"http://wagyu.org/breed-info/what-is-wagyu/\">American Wagyu\u003c/a>\" from exported Japanese cattle, but it's difficult to say just \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/larryolmsted/2012/04/19/kobe-and-wagyu-beef-final-thoughts-and-clarifications/2/#e75b243493a6\">how purely Wagyu\u003c/a> it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You also might see it referred to as \"Kobe beef\" in the U.S., which is actually a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bonappetit.com/entertaining-style/trends-news/article/kobe-wagyu-steak-myths\">specific type of Wagyu beef\u003c/a> produced only in a particular area of Japan. It's unlikely you'll find it in the U.S. — there are only about \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/travel/article/cnngo-japan-beef-wagyu/index.html\">3,000 cattle\u003c/a> each year that are certifiable Kobe beef, and until 2012, it wasn't shipped outside of Japan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why do you see restaurants advertising Kobe burgers then? Forbes.com writer Larry Olmstead wrote a \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/larryolmsted/2012/04/12/foods-biggest-scam-the-great-kobe-beef-lie/#408140f664c6\">popular series on Kobe beef\u003c/a>.

There's some logic to this — there's a lot of fat in Wagyu beef. Looking at the flesh, or a photo of it at least, you can see flecks of fat in the meat. \u003ca href=\"https://nfs.tamu.edu/people/smith-stephen-b/\">Stephen Smith\u003c/a>, Texas A&M professor of meat science says, \"To me, it's a sea of white with a few flecks of red.\" Smith explains that the cattle are bred and raised to have 30 to 40 percent fat in the muscle. He says that typical U.S. beef won't even come close to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iowa State University professor of animal science \u003ca href=\"http://www.ans.iastate.edu/people/joseph-sebranek\">Joseph Sebranek\u003c/a> explains, \"It's a genetic trait of these particular breeds of cattle to lay down more fat and give a different fatty acid composition.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith adds that it's also partially dietary — the animals are typically fed corn and are kept alive longer than other types of cattle. High quality U.S. beef is from animals likely fed for 16 to 18 months, he says, while Wagyu beef is fed for at least 30 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're trying to sink your teeth into this beef in the U.S., good luck. Wagyu, Smith says, means \"Japanese style cattle,\" and hails from four Japanese breeds. There is \"\u003ca href=\"http://wagyu.org/breed-info/what-is-wagyu/\">American Wagyu\u003c/a>\" from exported Japanese cattle, but it's difficult to say just \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/larryolmsted/2012/04/19/kobe-and-wagyu-beef-final-thoughts-and-clarifications/2/#e75b243493a6\">how purely Wagyu\u003c/a> it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You also might see it referred to as \"Kobe beef\" in the U.S., which is actually a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bonappetit.com/entertaining-style/trends-news/article/kobe-wagyu-steak-myths\">specific type of Wagyu beef\u003c/a> produced only in a particular area of Japan. It's unlikely you'll find it in the U.S. — there are only about \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/travel/article/cnngo-japan-beef-wagyu/index.html\">3,000 cattle\u003c/a> each year that are certifiable Kobe beef, and until 2012, it wasn't shipped outside of Japan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why do you see restaurants advertising Kobe burgers then? Forbes.com writer Larry Olmstead wrote a \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/larryolmsted/2012/04/12/foods-biggest-scam-the-great-kobe-beef-lie/#408140f664c6\">popular series on Kobe beef\u003c/a>. He explained on \u003cem>All Things Considered\u003c/em> that under U.S. law, there \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=151153503\">aren't any specific rules\u003c/a> as to what qualifies as Kobe beef, \"so we can call pretty much anything we want Kobe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To catch a whiff of this aromatic beef and a taste of its fatty acid, your best bet is probably to go to Japan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
