So we went to you, the KQED community, to find out where we could eat and drink around the Bay Area without any problems with our dogs in tow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.instagram.com/p/BzqyXSJB5RL/\">We asked you\u003c/a> to share your favorite dog-friendly bars/restaurants and, after double-checking the recommendations, we compiled a list below that gets four paws up (I consulted with my dog). Some highlights include:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Devil’s Teeth Baking Company\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJAODFF5z4/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Located a small-ish walk away from Ocean Beach, Devil’s Teeth Baking Company is open 7 days a week from 7am-4pm. The space is pretty small, but they have outside seating for you to enjoy their breakfast sandwiches while your dog (or someone else’s dog) stares you down, hoping for a bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I personally always go for The Special Breakfast Sandwich: two eggs, bacon, avocado, pepperjack cheese and lemon-garlic aioli all on a homemade buttermilk biscuit, and I end the meal (I share!) with a warm cinnamon roll the size of my face. Devil’s Teeth has dog treats for your furry friend, but they’ll probably still be drooling for whatever you’re eating. Bonus: $1 beignets every Sunday!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Dad’s Luncheonette\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwz4z4CHSaY/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the quirkier destinations on the list, you might remember Dad’s Luncheonette from this year’s season Check, Please! Bay Area. Owners Scott Clark (a former three-Michelin star chef de cuisine) and Alexis Lu serve their small but mighty menu of American classics with a Californian twist from a historic train caboose in Half Moon Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being a caboose, there isn’t much seating inside, but you can enjoy your meal outside. Order a dog burger from the menu—it’s made from the same high-quality ingredients they use in their kitchen to make the human food!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mersea\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv647B7B-jJ/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talk about views! Head to Treasure Island for a unique experience at Mersea, Treasure Island's only all-day restaurant. It's built out of shipping containers and a military kitchen, and it has a lovely view of San Francisco on a clear day (it's even kind of cool on a foggy day).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enjoy the bocce courts, food and view at Mersea with your dog by your side—we'd call that a pretty good time.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mutt Lynch Winery\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwuyux0hs0z/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Mutt Lynch Winery’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.muttlynchwinery.com/\">website\u003c/a>, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat called it “a dog-gone paradise for canines and those who love them.” And, if you love dogs, this place will definitely cater to that interest! While you enjoy the wine, your dogs can enjoy house-made biscuits, maybe even a dog treat flight on an adorable dog-shaped cheeseboard (can you tell they love dogs).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also regularly hold Yappy Hours where your canine companion can join you in the tasting room for happy hours dedicated to raising funds for local, national and international animal rescue organizations!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Drake’s Dealership\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Drake’s Dealership in Oakland has 32 beers on tap and freshly made wood-fired pizzas. But the best part? It has an open-air beer garden where you can hang out with your dogs (as long as they are leashed). If it gets chilly at night, there are fire pits and heating lamps to keep you and your pup warm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you love the idea of drinking beer and hanging out with dogs but aren’t too sure about making the trip, just take a peek at their Instagram hashtag \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/dogsofdrakes/\">#dogsofdrake\u003c/a>. Drake's also has enough space if you want to go with a group. And if it's a group of humans or a group of dogs, we'll leave that up to you!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SKdtIhyv8/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have more recommendations to be added to the list below, just let us know on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/KQEDcheckplease/\">Facebook\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KQEDcheckplease\">Twitter\u003c/a>, or \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kqedbayareabites/\">Instagram\u003c/a>!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>San Francisco\u003c/h2>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.4505burgersandbbq.com/menus/\">4505 Burgers & BBQ\u003c/a> (SF + Oakland) - \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/19773/check-please-bay-area-reviews-4505-burgers-bbq-ramen-gaijin-eight-tables-by-george-chen\">Watch the Check, Please!

Devil’s Teeth has dog treats for your furry friend, but they’ll probably still be drooling for whatever you’re eating.

"content": "\u003cp>[aside postID='bayareabites_133780' label='2019 Michelin Bib Gourmands']\u003cbr>\nTime to make a new list of Michelin-starred restaurants to visit in 2019! Today, the Michelin Guide California \u003ca href=\"https://guide.michelin.com/us/en/california/article/news-and-views/michelin-guide-california-2019-results\">announced\u003c/a> that 90 California restaurants (out of their 657 Michelin-recommended restaurants) have been awarded Michelin stars. For anyone new to the system, one star means “high-quality cooking, worth a stop,” two stars equals “excellent cooking, worth a detour” and the highly coveted three stars means a restaurant has “exceptional cuisine and is worth a special journey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Out of those 90 stars in California, the Bay Area made a strong stand again as we did on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/133780/71-bay-area-restaurants-make-the-cut-for-2019-michelin-guide-california-bib-gourmand-list\">the Michelin Bib Gourmand list\u003c/a>, taking 63 out of 90 spots. Sacramento got the star it had been waiting for with The Kitchen, but, surprisingly, Saison dropped from three stars to two stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There weren't any new additions to the three-star category, so it mainly remains restaurants in San Francisco and wine country (sorry, Los Angeles). And congratulations to Dominique Crenn since she is now still the only female chef in America to helm a restaurant with three stars!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining the two-star category, a big congratulations to Campton Place, the country’s only South Asian restaurant to hold the honor. In the one-star category, diners will not be surprised to see Sorrel and Angler on the list—the latter was listed amongst Esquire's Best Restaurants with Bar Crenn and Che Fico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scroll through for the full list of Bay Area stars, and, if they appeared on Check, Please! Bay Area, we made sure to include a link to the restaurant's review.

Today, the Michelin Guide California \u003ca href=\"https://guide.michelin.com/us/en/california/article/news-and-views/michelin-guide-california-2019-results\">announced\u003c/a> that 90 California restaurants (out of their 657 Michelin-recommended restaurants) have been awarded Michelin stars. For anyone new to the system, one star means “high-quality cooking, worth a stop,” two stars equals “excellent cooking, worth a detour” and the highly coveted three stars means a restaurant has “exceptional cuisine and is worth a special journey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Out of those 90 stars in California, the Bay Area made a strong stand again as we did on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/133780/71-bay-area-restaurants-make-the-cut-for-2019-michelin-guide-california-bib-gourmand-list\">the Michelin Bib Gourmand list\u003c/a>, taking 63 out of 90 spots. Sacramento got the star it had been waiting for with The Kitchen, but, surprisingly, Saison dropped from three stars to two stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There weren't any new additions to the three-star category, so it mainly remains restaurants in San Francisco and wine country (sorry, Los Angeles). And congratulations to Dominique Crenn since she is now still the only female chef in America to helm a restaurant with three stars!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining the two-star category, a big congratulations to Campton Place, the country’s only South Asian restaurant to hold the honor. In the one-star category, diners will not be surprised to see Sorrel and Angler on the list—the latter was listed amongst Esquire's Best Restaurants with Bar Crenn and Che Fico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scroll through for the full list of Bay Area stars, and, if they appeared on Check, Please! Bay Area, we made sure to include a link to the restaurant's review.

Made up of 151 restaurants from all over California, the list covers 36 different types of cuisine, and the restaurants are all affordable (depending on your budget). Michelin's Bib Gourmand restaurants are all \"restaurants that serve high-quality meals which include two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease\">Check, Please! Bay Area restaurants\u003c/a>—featured in the past or coming up this season—made it onto the list, like Pausa, Z & Y Restaurant and more. Diners might not be too surprised to see other much talked about names picked out like Thomas Keller's La Calenda (an inspector praised it saying \"The chef’s Oaxacan upbringing shines through in regional Mexican cuisine\") and Nyum Bai (owner Nite Yun was nominated for a James Beard Award, was a 2018 Eater Young Gun and her restaurant made it onto Bon Appetit's Hot Ten list).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See the full list of Bay Area restaurants who made the cut below (the new additions are bolded).

Made up of 151 restaurants from all over California, the list covers 36 different types of cuisine, and the restaurants are all affordable (depending on your budget). Michelin's Bib Gourmand restaurants are all \"restaurants that serve high-quality meals which include two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease\">Check, Please! Bay Area restaurants\u003c/a>—featured in the past or coming up this season—made it onto the list, like Pausa, Z & Y Restaurant and more. Diners might not be too surprised to see other much talked about names picked out like Thomas Keller's La Calenda (an inspector praised it saying \"The chef’s Oaxacan upbringing shines through in regional Mexican cuisine\") and Nyum Bai (owner Nite Yun was nominated for a James Beard Award, was a 2018 Eater Young Gun and her restaurant made it onto Bon Appetit's Hot Ten list).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See the full list of Bay Area restaurants who made the cut below (the new additions are bolded). You can read the inspectors' notes from their visit on \u003ca href=\"https://michelinmedia.com/\">Michelin's website\u003c/a>, but you can also rewatch our guests' reviews for some of these restaurants on Check, Please! Bay Area. If they appeared on the show, we linked to the respective episode or written review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>NOTE:\u003c/b> Restaurants who earn a Bib Gourmand are not eligible for a star in the same year, so any of the restaurants you see below \u003cb>will not\u003c/b> be getting any Michelin stars in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Anchor Oyster Bar // San Francisco, Castro\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg26S7hNhs8\">\u003cstrong> (Watch the CPBA review)\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A16 // San Francisco, Marina\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Backyard // Sonoma County, Forestville\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bistro Aix // San Francisco, Marina\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bravas // Sonoma County, Healdsburg\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bywater (The) // South Bay, Los Gatos\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Canon // Sacramento\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Chalkboard // Sonoma County, Healdsburg\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>China Village // East Bay, Albany \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/175/china-village-restaurant-info\">\u003cstrong> (Watch the CPBA review)\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ciccio // Napa Valley, Yountville\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Comal // East Bay, Berkeley\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cook St. Helena // Napa Valley, St. Helena\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Coqueta // San Francisco, Financial District\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Corso // East Bay, Berkeley\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cotogna // San Francisco, North Beach\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Delfina // San Francisco, Mission\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Del Popolo // San Francisco, Financial District\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Diavola // Sonoma County, Geyserville\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dosa // San Francisco, Marina\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dyafa // East Bay, Oakland\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>El Molino Central // Sonoma \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/18232/check-please-bay-area-reviews-bistro-don-giovanni-el-molino-central-1760\">\u003cstrong> (Watch the CPBA review)\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Farmhouse Kitchen Thai // San Francisco, Mission \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/18066/check-please-bay-area-season-12-reviews-farmhouse-kitchen-ovo-tavern-eatery-anatolian-kitchen\">\u003cstrong> (Watch the CPBA review)\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Farmstead // Napa Valley, St. Helena \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2017/05/25/check-please-bay-area-season-12-reviews-monkey-king-pub-and-grub-farmstead-at-long-meadow-ranch-grand-lake-kitchen/\">\u003cstrong> (Watch the CPBA review)\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Frank Fat’s // Sacramento\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Glen Ellen Star // Sonoma County, Glen Ellen \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/18458/check-please-bay-area-reviews-rustys-southern-jupiter-glen-ellen-star\">\u003cstrong> (Watch the CPBA review)\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Grace’s Table // Napa Valley, Napa\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Gran Electrica // Napa Valley, Napa\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Great China // East Bay, Berkeley\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Harborview // San Francisco, Financial District\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Insalata's // Marin, San Anselmo \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/38/insalatas-reviews\">\u003cstrong> (Read the CPBA review)\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ippuku // East Bay, Berkeley\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Izakaya Rintaro // San Francisco, Mission\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Kokkari Estiatorio // San Francisco, North Beach (\u003cstrong>CPBA alum)\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>La Calenda // Napa Valley\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lai Hong Lounge // San Francisco, North Beach\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Luna Mexican Kitchen // South Bay, San Jose\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Millennium // East Bay, Oakland\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Mother // Sacramento\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>M.Y.

Kline is the Head of Retail Training for \u003ca href=\"https://www.ritualroasters.com/\">Ritual Coffee Roasters\u003c/a>, which means she works with new and seasoned baristas to hone their skills over Ritual’s six retail locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133289\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-133289\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/rj-pouring-cupping-photo-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"rj pouring cupping photo\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/rj-pouring-cupping-photo-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/rj-pouring-cupping-photo-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/rj-pouring-cupping-photo-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/rj-pouring-cupping-photo-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/rj-pouring-cupping-photo.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joseph, pictured here conducting a cupping, or a formal coffee tasting, notes the variety of jobs available to people who want to make their career in coffee. However, she also notes the pitfalls—primarily wages and a lack of diversity. \u003ccite>(Christy Duggan)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I came to The Bay because, with the concentration of great cafes and roasters, it represented the possibility to create a career in coffee as a barista while still providing opportunities to advance that career,” Kline notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The diversity of both businesses and individuals in the Bay Area means that the coffee community is robust. “I think having so many different types of companies based here (nonprofits to importers to cafes) offers us a chance to have more nuanced conversations and diverse events,” says Jenn Chen, a \u003ca href=\"https://jennchen.com/\">coffee marketer\u003c/a> based in San Francisco, “We don’t have only baristas on a panel. We’re likely to see an event with a producer in the same month as an event with a co-roasting organization. I love this variety and this constant desire among all of us to learn more about the industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these opportunities are enriching for coffee professionals, folks are starting to extend their hands out to customers as more and more events become available to the general public. “The Royal Crown [Royal Coffee’s retail and education space] just opened up, and they will be hosting a lot of great classes. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sweetmarias.com/\">Sweet Maria’s\u003c/a> also does classes and events in their education space, and of course, there’s a \u003ca href=\"https://counterculturecoffee.com/\">Counter Culture\u003c/a> training center in Emeryville,” notes Umeko Motoyoshi, CEO of \u003ca href=\"https://umeshiso.com/\">umeshiso.com\u003c/a>, which sells coffee gear to coffee pros and enthusiasts alike. Places like Counter Culture and Royal Crown do trainings on things like latte art, how to brew better coffee at home, and often host public coffee tastings open to anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133286\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-133286\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/pic2-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"cupping with mokhtar\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/pic2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/pic2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/pic2-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/pic2.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At The Crown, both coffee pros and home brewers can learn about the ins and outs of brewing, and participate in special events, like this cupping with Mokhtar Alkhanshali, a coffee importer from Yemen and subject of the newest Dave Eggers' book, The Monk of Mokha. \u003ccite>(Mokhtar Alkhanshali)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It’s a really nice thing to see, especially with Oakland being a historic port town. The more coffee education, the better I think — especially since these classes are almost all open to the public. It helps to deepen the public’s understanding of why specialty coffee costs more, which is always a great thing,” says Motoyoshi.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Room To Grow\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As knowledge rich as the community is, there are still concerns. Increasing rents threaten the livelihood of most coffee professionals — many who are baristas — and they can’t afford to keep up with the continuing rising cost of living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many companies aren't able to pay enough to make ends meet and retain talent, and hardly anyone on the labor side makes a living wage,” Joseph shares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the ever-increasing costs of living and operating continually accelerating ahead of wage raises, less and less coffee people are able to make it here for a significant amount of time,” Kline explains.. Many baristas have to work two jobs to make ends meet, but most still find the time to work with and engage in local community events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Kline is hopeful that the Bay Area can set an example for how coffee pros can live a balanced life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One inspiring thing about that shift is that the sense of community is shifting from folks who are continually hustling, effectively working huge amounts of overtime for no pay in order to build community, towards folks who have stronger, healthier boundaries between work and the rest of their lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

We’re likely to see an event with a producer in the same month as an event with a co-roasting organization. I love this variety and this constant desire among all of us to learn more about the industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these opportunities are enriching for coffee professionals, folks are starting to extend their hands out to customers as more and more events become available to the general public. “The Royal Crown [Royal Coffee’s retail and education space] just opened up, and they will be hosting a lot of great classes. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sweetmarias.com/\">Sweet Maria’s\u003c/a> also does classes and events in their education space, and of course, there’s a \u003ca href=\"https://counterculturecoffee.com/\">Counter Culture\u003c/a> training center in Emeryville,” notes Umeko Motoyoshi, CEO of \u003ca href=\"https://umeshiso.com/\">umeshiso.com\u003c/a>, which sells coffee gear to coffee pros and enthusiasts alike.

The more coffee education, the better I think — especially since these classes are almost all open to the public. It helps to deepen the public’s understanding of why specialty coffee costs more, which is always a great thing,” says Motoyoshi.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Room To Grow\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As knowledge rich as the community is, there are still concerns. Increasing rents threaten the livelihood of most coffee professionals — many who are baristas — and they can’t afford to keep up with the continuing rising cost of living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many companies aren't able to pay enough to make ends meet and retain talent, and hardly anyone on the labor side makes a living wage,” Joseph shares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the ever-increasing costs of living and operating continually accelerating ahead of wage raises, less and less coffee people are able to make it here for a significant amount of time,” Kline explains.. Many baristas have to work two jobs to make ends meet, but most still find the time to work with and engage in local community events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Kline is hopeful that the Bay Area can set an example for how coffee pros can live a balanced life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Luckily, there are successful women in the food industry who are champions for their peers, and their stories and advice are powerful for other women who want to follow in their footsteps. Additionally, there are organizations like\u003ca href=\"https://womenchefs.org/\"> Women Chefs & Restaurateurs\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.jamesbeard.org/womens-entrepreneurial-leadership-program\">James Beard Foundation's Women Entrepreneurial Leadership Program\u003c/a> that have been working to give more women resources to start their own restaurants and companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Women’s History Month, you can help these local, hardworking women by putting your money where your mouth is and going to support a female-led or owned business.

Mary Novak took over the vineyard after her husband’s death in 1977 and successfully completed her first harvest soon after, selling grapes to local vintners. Her daughters joined Novak (Beth in 1987 and Lindy in 1992) and, together, the trio established Spottswoode as one of Napa Valley’s most esteemed multigenerational family estates. They are known for their Cabernet Sauvignon, and, according to Check, Please!

Today, Beth is Spottswoode’s President & CEO, and Lindy is its Marketing Ambassador.

Meet the talented and dynamic women who are creating San Francisco’s canna-culinary culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"bayareabites_124226\" label=\"More Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naturally, the busy intersection of San Francisco’s cannabis and culinary worlds is a vibrant one, with a passion for sun-grown cannabis and well-made products matched by our commitment to caring how our food is grown, sourced, and prepared, and the same goes for the wine we’re pairing with our meals (and now we're going full circle with cannabis cultivars as well). They are all agricultural products, after all. Underground cannabis dinner parties are a hot ticket, and we aren’t talking about munchie chow-downs with three-cheese nachos — it’s more like smoked tangerines with albacore crudo, English peas, fennel, crème fraîche, and infused olive oil. Because that’s how we roll here (joints included).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132766\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132766\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/cannaisseur-panna-cotta-800x1201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1201\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cinnamon panna cotta with mulled wine and 2mg of non-psychoactive THCA by Coreen Carroll of Cannaisseur Series. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>An unexpected development is the large number of women who are leading the local canna-culinary scene, many of them Asian American — a welcome contrast to SF’s primarily white cis male–dominated chef landscape. Some of these canna chefs have culinary training, while others are self-taught, bringing forth the dishes, flavors, and techniques of their family roots and histories, weaving in some local influences and ingredients, all with an elevated touch. We’re also seeing female producers of sophisticated canna-culinary experiences, content creators, and community builders, all contributing their many talents and hustle to a burgeoning scene that is unique to San Francisco and our culture here. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Best of all: many of these women collaborate together on their events.

The City of West Hollywood is quite a bit ahead of SF’s canna cuisine scene — Morgan gives us a peek at what’s happening south: “With the recent permitting of [four] onsite consumption lounges in West Hollywood, women are upping the ante on the culinary cannabis game, and are working to open some of the first spaces in the world where people will be able to combine a restaurant dining experience with their love of cannabis. I am very excited to be working on one of these lounges myself, and look forward to seeing the diversity of ways these lounges explore the endless possibilities for culinary cannabis. There is a place for cannabis alongside many classic culinary traditions, and it’s going to be very exciting to see how the community here in Los Angeles creates an entirely new category of dining experiences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132762\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132762\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/C2K-demo-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coreen Carroll and Stephanie Hua doing a recipe demo from their Edibles cookbook at the Crop-to-Kitchen Winter Meet-Up. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Morgan adds: “The importance of having an organization like C2K, which is led by some of the leading minds in the culinary cannabis industry, taking up the charge of working with lawmakers to ensure a path for sensible regulations, [and] will pave the way for a culinary cannabis industry where chefs and restaurants can safely serve food alongside cannabis, create perfectly-dosed gourmet dishes, and open up new avenues for premium edibles that more closely resemble food than candy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132764\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-132764 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/salo-series-PDH-party-pic-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pot d'Huile's infused olive oil was a popular guest at Yana Gilbuena's Horno Buena kamayan feast. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>SF has a ways to go before we can plunk down at a cannabis café and order avocado toast with 3mg of cannabis-infused olive oil drizzled over it — with current California Department of Health regulations, we can’t even add CBD oil from hemp — but if you want to see it all happen, now is the time to get involved.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132768\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132768\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/bbw-oysters-800x570.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"570\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guests could finish freshly shucked oysters with cannabis herb oil at Big Bad Wolf's third anniversary party. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, here are some of the inspiring women to watch who are leading and shaping our local cannabis culinary scene, from chefs to event hosts to content creators — meet the makers of our future canna restaurant industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132770\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132770\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/thu-infused-dessert-sous-weed-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dessert at a collaborative Thursday Infused night with Sous Weed . \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Coreen Carroll: \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"https://cannaisseurseries.com\">\u003cb>The Cannaisseur Series\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132772\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132772\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/cannaisseurseries_094_rgb_Castro-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Coreen Carroll keeps many things lit at her Cannaisseur Series events. \u003ccite>(Ashleigh Castro)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A trailblazer in SF's cannabis dinner scene, nothing beats the party vibe and lively, diverse crowd of a Cannaisseur Series dinner or brunch.
