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.",

Carrot tops aren't tossed out — they're blended with sautéed garlic, oil, water, basil, parsley, pistachios and scallions to make a creamy pesto. 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.

Despite being in the land of Chez Panisse and all things artisanal and organic, Henry’s really has always just been a pub.

The KronnerBurger is 100% dry-aged beef, while the Henry’s Burger ($14) has just 20% and then 80% fresh ground beef. In both cases, the meat comes from top quality, grass-fed, pasture-raised Cream Co. Holstein cattle butchered between the ages of 7 and 12 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other difference answers the big question of how can you improve the already close to perfect original \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/KronnerBurgerSF/\">KronnerBurger\u003c/a>? Answer: bring in Chad Robertson, a good friend of Kronner’s and the baking virtuoso from Tartine. Yes, it’s truly a burger dream duo now where \u003ca href=\"https://www.tartinebakery.com/\">Tartine\u003c/a> bakes the buns for this Kronner-designed burger. Tartine is also baking the other breads served at Henry’s. At KronnerBurger, the potato pain de mie buns are custom-baked by the also excellent and Oakland-based, \u003ca href=\"http://starterbakery.com/\">Starter Bakery\u003c/a>. This is no slight at all on those buns but Tartine’s slightly denser sweet potato buns are a perfect, sturdy partner for the gloriously juicy four-ounce burgers at Henry’s. You’ll almost want to eat the buns by themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126988\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new.jpg\" alt=\"Henry's CheeseBoy on a Tartine sweet potato bun with herbed fries\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126988\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2697-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Henry's CheeseBoy on a Tartine sweet potato bun with herbed fries \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Henry’s Burger is a simpler affair with pickles, roasted onions, lettuce and a thousand island-like Henry’s sauce. Guests can customize the burger with bacon, cheddar or blue cheese. Or, you can opt for the messier CheeseBoy ($15) that adds roasted tomato (sort of like ketchup in flavor but has a jammy consistency) and white American cheese, while subtracting the lettuce. Both burgers come with crisp medium-thick fries that are coated in a forest green fines herbs powder. Those fries are also available on their own with cheddar mayo for dipping ($7).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s get one thing clear that has been incorrectly stated by many people in advance of Henry’s opening — Tartine is not a partner in the restaurant. You will not find the croissants or morning buns or chocolate soufflé cake or loaves of bread for sale at Henry’s. Kronner has been a friend of Robertson and his wife (and Tartine co-owner) Elizabeth Prueitt since 2001. To jog your San Francisco dining memory back in time a little bit, remember Bar Tartine (owned by Robertson and Prueitt) before Nick Balla and Cortney Burns were its trailblazing chefs and they steered the restaurants towards Central Europe and pickling and fermentation became the main theme? You got it — Kronner was the chef. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kronner hails from North Carolina originally and came to San Francisco for cooking school. Almost as if it was fate, Kronner lived above Tartine and paid Robertson $200 a month (!!) to live there. Kronner’s first professional cooking gigs took him to some of the marquee early and mid 2000s restaurants like Town Hall and the (now closed) Slow Club, with the latter being where he was elevated to the main chef role and he started to gain citywide attention for his work. Then it was on to Serpentine in the Dogpatch, followed by Bar Tartine and finally KronnerBurger’s highly successful pop-up at Bruno’s nightclub in the Mission. That pop-up led to his permanent solo debut with Oakland’s Kronnerburger in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once diners get over how skilled Kronner is at making burgers go from great to outrageous, they’ll realize what a well-rounded force he is at creating anything from grilled pork skewers with finger limes and a sweet chili sauce ($8) to roasted maitake mushrooms with mushroom caramel ($14). You’ll see signs of that at KronnerBurger like with a stellar fried chicken banh mi or bold takes on salads like the East Bay’s definitive wedge salad. It’s at Henry’s, though, where he’s really starting to show his range and some greater ambition that is rewarding for his many fans to watch. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127008\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new.jpg\" alt=\"Co-executive chef Jeffrey Hayden\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127008\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Co-executive chef Jeffrey Hayden \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127007\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new.jpg\" alt=\"Co-executive chef Justin Huffman\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127007\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Co-executive chef Justin Huffman \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kronner is assisted at Henry’s by co-executive chefs Justin Huffman (coming to Henry’s from KronnerBurger) and Jeffrey Hayden, who is best known to San Francisco diners as the opening chef at Del Popolo’s permanent location, responsible for everything non-pizza there.

It’s kind of a gastropub but also has some intense and creative dishes that lean heavily towards vegetables, deft spicing and even a little bit of funk. This is what Kronner is so great at. Like with his burgers, he cooks appealing food that a wide audience will enjoy. It’s sophisticated enough for discerning professors but also relatable for an unadventurous freshman at the neighboring dorm. His style of cooking fills a much-needed friendly, midscale restaurant with edginess niche in Berkeley. Plus, it might not be ideal for diners on a student’s budget but the prices are much lower than their equivalents across the Bay Bridge. There, the ‘mains’ would no doubt find their way over $30.

It’s a nifty touch that more restaurants should do where fans won’t miss key Warriors or Giants games but also makes the bar have a true old-timey atmosphere instead of falling into the ubiquitous sports bar territory. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127005\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new.jpg\" alt=\"The Durant Dining Room with chef Chris Kronner and co-executive chefs Jeffrey Hayden and Justin Huffman\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127005\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Durant Dining Room with chef Chris Kronner and co-executive chefs Jeffrey Hayden and Justin Huffman \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The main Durant Room dining area is beautifully spacious with sunlight streaming on the curved, tufted black leather steakhouse booths at the windows and their marble tables.

After all, they give Cal’s rival a shout out with the Stanford decorated urinal in the men’s restroom à la the Cal one at Palo Alto’s Epiphany Hotel.

Both also do have important ties to the Bay Area worth noting. Bill Chait is arguably the most prolific restaurateur in that city (Bestia, Otium, Republique and many more) and is an investor in Henry’s. He’s also a proud UC Berkeley alum. Meanwhile, the cocktails are designed by Julian Cox, the bar star of Los Angeles who masterminded too many highly regarded cocktail menus and has won too many awards to count at this point. The Bon Vivants (Trick Dog) are the closest thing we have to him in the Bay Area. That being said, he’s even closer to the Bay Area now as the designer of Tartine Manufactory’s newly launched cocktail program. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox’s cocktails are exciting without being too fussy. The most elaborate drink probably is the ‘Thornburg Village Special’ ($12) tying together manzanilla sherry, blueberries, white honey, lime, absinthe and an amaro-like liqueur, China China. The ‘Western Sour’ ($12) is a whiskey sour variation with falernum and grapefruit liqueur. Meanwhile, the spirit-forward ‘Speakerboxx’ ($12) pairs the unlikely duo of scotch and Sauternes with Peychaud’s bitters. On the lighter side, ‘English Spring’ elegantly screams “garden party sipper” with a Kir Royale-leaning combination of gin, Champagne, crème de Cassis and raspberry cordial ($11). \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127057\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new.jpg\" alt=\"Henry's beverage menu \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127057\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Henry's beverage menu \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Roughly a dozen glasses of wine are available, mixing labels from Europe, Sonoma favorites (Luuma, Scribe) and a refreshing red blend from Oakland’s own Broc Cellars.

Henry’s also plans to keep the tradition of rollicking, grand tailgates before football games this fall.

However, in Berkeley, it’s all about a different Durant at the moment — \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Durant\">Henry Durant\u003c/a>. Yes, that’s right — the visionary higher education pioneer of the 19th century, who founded the University of California, is back in the spotlight. He lives on with Durant Street and the Hotel Durant located on his namesake thoroughfare right by the now-named UC Berkeley campus, along with the 90-year old watering hole attached to the hotel, Henry’s.

Yes, it’s truly a burger dream duo now where \u003ca href=\"https://www.tartinebakery.com/\">Tartine\u003c/a> bakes the buns for this Kronner-designed burger. Tartine is also baking the other breads served at Henry’s. At KronnerBurger, the potato pain de mie buns are custom-baked by the also excellent and Oakland-based, \u003ca href=\"http://starterbakery.com/\">Starter Bakery\u003c/a>. This is no slight at all on those buns but Tartine’s slightly denser sweet potato buns are a perfect, sturdy partner for the gloriously juicy four-ounce burgers at Henry’s.

Guests can customize the burger with bacon, cheddar or blue cheese. Or, you can opt for the messier CheeseBoy ($15) that adds roasted tomato (sort of like ketchup in flavor but has a jammy consistency) and white American cheese, while subtracting the lettuce. Both burgers come with crisp medium-thick fries that are coated in a forest green fines herbs powder. Those fries are also available on their own with cheddar mayo for dipping ($7).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s get one thing clear that has been incorrectly stated by many people in advance of Henry’s opening — Tartine is not a partner in the restaurant. You will not find the croissants or morning buns or chocolate soufflé cake or loaves of bread for sale at Henry’s. Kronner has been a friend of Robertson and his wife (and Tartine co-owner) Elizabeth Prueitt since 2001. To jog your San Francisco dining memory back in time a little bit, remember Bar Tartine (owned by Robertson and Prueitt) before Nick Balla and Cortney Burns were its trailblazing chefs and they steered the restaurants towards Central Europe and pickling and fermentation became the main theme? You got it — Kronner was the chef. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kronner hails from North Carolina originally and came to San Francisco for cooking school. Almost as if it was fate, Kronner lived above Tartine and paid Robertson $200 a month (!!) to live there. Kronner’s first professional cooking gigs took him to some of the marquee early and mid 2000s restaurants like Town Hall and the (now closed) Slow Club, with the latter being where he was elevated to the main chef role and he started to gain citywide attention for his work. Then it was on to Serpentine in the Dogpatch, followed by Bar Tartine and finally KronnerBurger’s highly successful pop-up at Bruno’s nightclub in the Mission. That pop-up led to his permanent solo debut with Oakland’s Kronnerburger in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once diners get over how skilled Kronner is at making burgers go from great to outrageous, they’ll realize what a well-rounded force he is at creating anything from grilled pork skewers with finger limes and a sweet chili sauce ($8) to roasted maitake mushrooms with mushroom caramel ($14). You’ll see signs of that at KronnerBurger like with a stellar fried chicken banh mi or bold takes on salads like the East Bay’s definitive wedge salad. It’s at Henry’s, though, where he’s really starting to show his range and some greater ambition that is rewarding for his many fans to watch. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127008\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new.jpg\" alt=\"Co-executive chef Jeffrey Hayden\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127008\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2427-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Co-executive chef Jeffrey Hayden \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127007\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new.jpg\" alt=\"Co-executive chef Justin Huffman\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127007\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2444-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Co-executive chef Justin Huffman \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kronner is assisted at Henry’s by co-executive chefs Justin Huffman (coming to Henry’s from KronnerBurger) and Jeffrey Hayden, who is best known to San Francisco diners as the opening chef at Del Popolo’s permanent location, responsible for everything non-pizza there.

It’s kind of a gastropub but also has some intense and creative dishes that lean heavily towards vegetables, deft spicing and even a little bit of funk. This is what Kronner is so great at. Like with his burgers, he cooks appealing food that a wide audience will enjoy. It’s sophisticated enough for discerning professors but also relatable for an unadventurous freshman at the neighboring dorm. His style of cooking fills a much-needed friendly, midscale restaurant with edginess niche in Berkeley. Plus, it might not be ideal for diners on a student’s budget but the prices are much lower than their equivalents across the Bay Bridge. There, the ‘mains’ would no doubt find their way over $30.

It’s a nifty touch that more restaurants should do where fans won’t miss key Warriors or Giants games but also makes the bar have a true old-timey atmosphere instead of falling into the ubiquitous sports bar territory. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127005\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new.jpg\" alt=\"The Durant Dining Room with chef Chris Kronner and co-executive chefs Jeffrey Hayden and Justin Huffman\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127005\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_2474-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Durant Dining Room with chef Chris Kronner and co-executive chefs Jeffrey Hayden and Justin Huffman \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The main Durant Room dining area is beautifully spacious with sunlight streaming on the curved, tufted black leather steakhouse booths at the windows and their marble tables.

The Durant is their first location in California and we’ll see if Palo Alto is next on the horizon. After all, they give Cal’s rival a shout out with the Stanford decorated urinal in the men’s restroom à la the Cal one at Palo Alto’s Epiphany Hotel.

Both also do have important ties to the Bay Area worth noting. Bill Chait is arguably the most prolific restaurateur in that city (Bestia, Otium, Republique and many more) and is an investor in Henry’s. He’s also a proud UC Berkeley alum. Meanwhile, the cocktails are designed by Julian Cox, the bar star of Los Angeles who masterminded too many highly regarded cocktail menus and has won too many awards to count at this point. The Bon Vivants (Trick Dog) are the closest thing we have to him in the Bay Area. That being said, he’s even closer to the Bay Area now as the designer of Tartine Manufactory’s newly launched cocktail program. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox’s cocktails are exciting without being too fussy. The most elaborate drink probably is the ‘Thornburg Village Special’ ($12) tying together manzanilla sherry, blueberries, white honey, lime, absinthe and an amaro-like liqueur, China China. The ‘Western Sour’ ($12) is a whiskey sour variation with falernum and grapefruit liqueur. Meanwhile, the spirit-forward ‘Speakerboxx’ ($12) pairs the unlikely duo of scotch and Sauternes with Peychaud’s bitters. On the lighter side, ‘English Spring’ elegantly screams “garden party sipper” with a Kir Royale-leaning combination of gin, Champagne, crème de Cassis and raspberry cordial ($11). \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127057\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new.jpg\" alt=\"Henry's beverage menu \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-127057\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7989-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Henry's beverage menu \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Roughly a dozen glasses of wine are available, mixing labels from Europe, Sonoma favorites (Luuma, Scribe) and a refreshing red blend from Oakland’s own Broc Cellars.

There are some great deals to find with $7 glasses of wine, $4 beers, a few discounted cocktails and snacks like the fries and smoked potato chips with a vegan broccoli-cheddar dip. Henry’s also plans to keep the tradition of rollicking, grand tailgates before football games this fall.

"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.

Ferl has previously sent plants to the International Space Station for experiments, and he's also working on the EDEN ISS project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferl says having more, well, space, is part of what sets the Antarctic greenhouse apart from the experiments on the International Space Station. Plants aboard the ISS grow in an area smaller than one square meter, Ferl says. The roomier EDEN ISS has 13 square meters available for plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all that extra room, hopefully, EDEN ISS will clarify how to expand space farming beyond orbits, onto other planets, says \u003ca href=\"http://hos.ufl.edu/faculty/alpaul\">Anna-Lisa Paul\u003c/a>, who is also a space biologist at the University of Florida. Learning how to set up and operate a greenhouse in Antarctica, the researchers say, should be good preparation for eventually sending a similar system to Mars or the Moon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So from its start, EDEN ISS has been pretty similar to a space mission, says Bamsey, who made Canada's \u003ca href=\"http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronauts/recruitment/map.asp\">short list\u003c/a> for astronaut candidates in 2017. When the greenhouse left Bremen, Germany, it had a strict launch date, just like a rocket. The ship that carried the greenhouse only travels to Neumayer Station III once each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ice of Antarctica isn't exactly like the vacuum of space — \"Antarctica has gravity, and space does not,\" Paul says, \"but both environments are isolated, both are a challenge logistically.\" The difficulty of transporting something to Antarctica is a pretty good model for a voyage to the Moon or Mars, she adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the ocean, tracked vehicles pulled the components of the greenhouse structure — two 20-foot shipping containers — on sleds for 12 miles. The structure rests about a meter above the ice so that snow accumulation doesn't close it off; for every year EDEN ISS remains in Antarctica, the researchers plan to raise its legs another meter, Bamsey says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The greenhouse also traveled with another shipping container full of supplies, including around 130 gallons of water (to simulate landing on a planet with no water) — but no dirt. \"Every pound that you're sending to the space station costs about $10,000,\" Bamsey says. Given its weight, \"soil is essentially a no-no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the plants grow in air. Misters spray plants' roots with water and nutrients, and LEDs provide the light they need to grow. Another misting system routinely disinfects the entire interior of the greenhouse to discourage any microbes that might take up residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Antarctica, one scientist, Paul Zabel, who affectionately \u003ca href=\"http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-11008/1797_read-26129#/gallery/29773\">refers\u003c/a> to himself on the EDEN ISS blog as \"the winter hermit\", tries to visit the greenhouse for a checkup every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes strong winds keep Zabel away for a day or two, but that's not a big deal, says Bamsey, because he and his team can monitor and control the greenhouse from afar. A few dozen webcams pointed at the plants send images back to Germany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Florida, Ferl and Paul are responsible for even more complex monitoring. They've modified GoPro cameras to collect data on the non-visible light reflecting from plants' leaves, using these measurements to understand how the crops are doing before any salad greens begin looking sad by eye. Their setup lets them tell Zabel, on the ground, \"Listen, you might want to look at tray number 27, plant 52, because that one looks like it's getting stressed,\" Paul says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul says space farming operations could very well rely on automation and remote control, so it's doubly important to test these systems in a place as far away as Antarctica. Bamsey agrees, adding that extra isolation will also give crews a good idea of what kind of troubleshooting a greenhouse on another planet might require. In Antarctica, he says, \"when something breaks, you can't just go to the hardware store to get a replacement part.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EDEN ISS is also a test to see how much time and effort it might take astronauts to grow their own food. The project is closely tracking how long Zabel spends on greenhouse tasks like pruning and equipment maintenance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in terms of daily routine, Ferl says, it's good that Antarctica has similarities to space. \"[At Neumayer Station III] you have to put a suit on to go outside, then you have to change from that suit to an interior suit to go into the greenhouse,\" Ferl says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But maybe the only way to really understand the relationship between space and Antarctica is to visit one, or both places. Paul has never left the atmosphere, but visiting Neumayer Station III to help set up EDEN ISS made her extra certain that the ice mimicked a pristine planetary environment well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Antarctica is so vast and clean and cold and special,\" Paul says, \"that it is very much like being on the surface of another planet.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Starbucks employees called 911 after one of the men, who had not yet purchased anything, asked to use the bathroom and then remained at the shop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other customers \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/14/602556973/starbucks-police-and-mayor-weigh-in-on-controversial-arrest-of-2-black-men-in-ph\">recorded the arrest\u003c/a> and protested that the men hadn't done anything wrong. They pointed out that white customers were allowed to sit without buying anything without being handcuffed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starbucks has apologized for the incident; CEO Kevin Johnson said his goal is to do \"whatever we can to make things right\" and promised \"any necessary changes to our practices that would help prevent such an occurrence from ever happening again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Johnson \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/two-black-men-arrested-philadelphia-starbucks-meet-ceo-n866291\">met with the two men who were arrested\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've spent the last few days in Philadelphia with my leadership team listening to the community, learning what we did wrong and the steps we need to take to fix it,\" Johnson said in the company statement on Tuesday. \"While this is not limited to Starbucks, we're committed to being a part of the solution. Closing our stores for racial-bias training is just one step in a journey that requires dedication from every level of our company and partnerships in our local communities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard Schultz, Starbucks' executive chairman and former CEO, who guided the company's explosive growth, added, \"The company's founding values are based on humanity and inclusion. We will learn from our mistakes and reaffirm our commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment for every customer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR's Gene Demby, a Philadelphia native who hosts the \u003cem>Code Switch\u003c/em> podcast, explains that \"out-of-place policing,\" when \"police engage with people who don't look like they belong there,\" is \"usually just racial profiling masquerading as spatial profiling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said it can be hard to separate where exactly the racial bias lies in this arrest — with an employee, with Starbucks or with the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I actually called up Phillip Atiba Goff, who is the president of the Center for Policing Equity,\" Gene says. \"And he said that it's really hard to partition police bias from public bias because black men are so broadly perceived as threats, and that perception is treated as reasonable by the police. ... If you think a black person is violent or dangerous or out of place, he says that your bias will have all the structural support. The police will defer to your suspicions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And there's no consequences for anyone's biases here ... not the Starbucks employee, not the police officers. The only consequences fall on the two men who are arrested and spent hours behind bars.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene notes that it's not clear whether Starbucks has a consistent policy about the use of bathrooms by people who haven't purchased anything. \"The Starbucks official policy, whether it exists or not, is sort of immaterial to this conversation in a lot of ways,\" he says. \"And it is because these questions become questions of discretion of individual people, that's where bias can creep in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The closure and the training will affect more than 8,000 company-owned stores; licensed stores, such as those inside Target stores or other larger businesses, will get access to the training materials after it is over, Starbucks says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company continues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"The curriculum will be developed with guidance from several national and local experts confronting racial bias, including Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative; Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund; Heather McGhee, president of [liberal think tank] Demos; former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder; and Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Rosalind Brewer, the COO of Starbucks, spoke with NPR on Monday. She said watching the video of the arrest was painful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As an African-American executive myself with a 23-year-old African-American son, it was very difficult to watch. The police should not have been called in this situation. And this is a teachable moment for all of us. And we take full responsibility to make sure that our company remains great,\" she said. \"Unconscious-bias training is critical and top of our list.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years ago, the comedian W. Kamau Bell, who is black, was talking to his wife, who is white, at the Elmwood Cafe in Oakland, Calif. An employee tried to get him to leave, saying she thought he was trying to sell something. Bell described the incident in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.wkamaubell.com/blog/2015/01/happy-birthday-have-some-racism-from-elmwood-cafe\">blog post\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.thisamericanlife.org/557/birds-bees/act-two\">an episode of This American Life\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the aftermath of the Starbucks arrests, Bell emphasized that the situation in the coffee shop was not unique. \"Every day black people find themselves in simple situations where suddenly out of nowhere, we are treated like criminals,\" he wrote in \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/16/opinions/philadelphia-starbucks-sounds-familiar-to-me-w-kamau-bell-opinion/index.html\">an essay published by CNN\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bell urged Starbucks not to fire the employees in question but to focus on training — and carry that commitment forward, instead of returning to business as usual after the headlines die down. Bell wrote on CNN:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"This isn't just about a couple of rogue baristas ignoring the employee manual. I'm sure the Starbucks manual says, \"DON'T BE RACIST/SEXIST/ABLEIST/TRANSPHOBIC/HOMOPHOBIC/JERKHOLE-IC!\" all over it. It has to. Starbucks is a major corporation. But I'm guessing the manual doesn't tell its employees how not to be racist/sexist/ableist/transphobic/homophobic/jerkhole-ic. This is key. I remember how the owner of The Elmwood Cafe told me that he didn't train his employees to be racist. But he didn't have to train [them] to be racist for them to act in racist ways.

Closing our stores for racial-bias training is just one step in a journey that requires dedication from every level of our company and partnerships in our local communities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard Schultz, Starbucks' executive chairman and former CEO, who guided the company's explosive growth, added, \"The company's founding values are based on humanity and inclusion. We will learn from our mistakes and reaffirm our commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment for every customer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR's Gene Demby, a Philadelphia native who hosts the \u003cem>Code Switch\u003c/em> podcast, explains that \"out-of-place policing,\" when \"police engage with people who don't look like they belong there,\" is \"usually just racial profiling masquerading as spatial profiling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said it can be hard to separate where exactly the racial bias lies in this arrest — with an employee, with Starbucks or with the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I actually called up Phillip Atiba Goff, who is the president of the Center for Policing Equity,\" Gene says. \"And he said that it's really hard to partition police bias from public bias because black men are so broadly perceived as threats, and that perception is treated as reasonable by the police. ... If you think a black person is violent or dangerous or out of place, he says that your bias will have all the structural support. The police will defer to your suspicions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And there's no consequences for anyone's biases here ... not the Starbucks employee, not the police officers. The only consequences fall on the two men who are arrested and spent hours behind bars.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene notes that it's not clear whether Starbucks has a consistent policy about the use of bathrooms by people who haven't purchased anything. \"The Starbucks official policy, whether it exists or not, is sort of immaterial to this conversation in a lot of ways,\" he says. \"And it is because these questions become questions of discretion of individual people, that's where bias can creep in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The closure and the training will affect more than 8,000 company-owned stores; licensed stores, such as those inside Target stores or other larger businesses, will get access to the training materials after it is over, Starbucks says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company continues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"The curriculum will be developed with guidance from several national and local experts confronting racial bias, including Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative; Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund; Heather McGhee, president of [liberal think tank] Demos; former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder; and Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Rosalind Brewer, the COO of Starbucks, spoke with NPR on Monday. She said watching the video of the arrest was painful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As an African-American executive myself with a 23-year-old African-American son, it was very difficult to watch. The police should not have been called in this situation. And this is a teachable moment for all of us. And we take full responsibility to make sure that our company remains great,\" she said. \"Unconscious-bias training is critical and top of our list.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years ago, the comedian W. Kamau Bell, who is black, was talking to his wife, who is white, at the Elmwood Cafe in Oakland, Calif. An employee tried to get him to leave, saying she thought he was trying to sell something. Bell described the incident in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.wkamaubell.com/blog/2015/01/happy-birthday-have-some-racism-from-elmwood-cafe\">blog post\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.thisamericanlife.org/557/birds-bees/act-two\">an episode of This American Life\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the aftermath of the Starbucks arrests, Bell emphasized that the situation in the coffee shop was not unique. \"Every day black people find themselves in simple situations where suddenly out of nowhere, we are treated like criminals,\" he wrote in \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/16/opinions/philadelphia-starbucks-sounds-familiar-to-me-w-kamau-bell-opinion/index.html\">an essay published by CNN\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bell urged Starbucks not to fire the employees in question but to focus on training — and carry that commitment forward, instead of returning to business as usual after the headlines die down. Bell wrote on CNN:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"This isn't just about a couple of rogue baristas ignoring the employee manual. I'm sure the Starbucks manual says, \"DON'T BE RACIST/SEXIST/ABLEIST/TRANSPHOBIC/HOMOPHOBIC/JERKHOLE-IC!\" all over it. It has to. Starbucks is a major corporation. But I'm guessing the manual doesn't tell its employees how not to be racist/sexist/ableist/transphobic/homophobic/jerkhole-ic. This is key. I remember how the owner of The Elmwood Cafe told me that he didn't train his employees to be racist. But he didn't have to train [them] to be racist for them to act in racist ways. You have to un-train people. Racism is baked into America's cake. It is the flour, the white, bleached flour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So if Starbucks wants to truly make a difference, then they need to not just commit to ending discrimination in their coffee shops, they need to commit to being advocates for ending discrimination in America. If they can get us all to pay five bucks for coffee, this should be no big deal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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>",

Still, it will be disruptive for particular businesses especially in the near term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The real concern for American wine producers is that high tariffs applied today may make U.S. wine too expensive and cause them to miss out as hundreds of millions of Chinese middle-income consumers increase their wine consumption over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More broadly, if the trade spat escalates to a trade war, serious damage will be done to all of U.S. agriculture, including grape and wine producers.

How can we save enough NECCO wafers to, uh, cover us for years to come?' \" Ordway says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he went online and bought enough to keep the carnival funded for the next few years. And he says the camp's stash is safe, since he is not likely to be raiding it anytime soon. \"I mean, it is really like chewing on chalk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, he is still hoping the company can pull through somehow, so NECCO wafers — and the company's other candies — will be available for generations to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.wgbh.org/995/\">WGBH\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But now I'm glad I have my stash,\" Haugh says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She realizes not everyone is a fan. Its flavor and texture can be pretty controversial. \"They're definitely not a normal thing for people to love. It's like people say they're chalky or whatever,\" Haugh says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But standing near the statue, Joey Barbosa tried them for the first time and had a more positive reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mmmm. They're very good. Crunchy, tasty. Pretty much it,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another NECCO fan, Spencer Ordway, is hoarding wafers, but not because of their tasty crunch. He runs a sleepaway camp in Maine, and for more than 70 years, at an end-of-summer carnival, campers have used NECCO wafers as a currency to play games and buy prizes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had so many alumni and current staff contacting me today saying, 'What are we going to do? How can we save enough NECCO wafers to, uh, cover us for years to come?' \" Ordway says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he went online and bought enough to keep the carnival funded for the next few years. And he says the camp's stash is safe, since he is not likely to be raiding it anytime soon. \"I mean, it is really like chewing on chalk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, he is still hoping the company can pull through somehow, so NECCO wafers — and the company's other candies — will be available for generations to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.wgbh.org/995/\">WGBH\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>As a born and bred Jewish New Yorker, I recently satisfied my craving for rye bread by exploring \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/125527/east-bay-bakeries-doing-the-rye-thing\">six East Bay bakeries\u003c/a>. But with Passover over, I decided to cross the bridge to see what kind of rye San Francisco had to offer. During this bread adventure, I found four more guide-worthy bakeries making quality loaves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having lived half my life in the Bay Area, I've developed a California conscience about knowing where my food comes from. And, in my quest for satisfying my appetite, it has become equally important to know the best business practices of companies supplying products I crave, and ultimately purchase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, in searching for rye bread, besides taste, texture, and loaf longevity; I also wanted to know about the bakeries choices regarding: source and quality of ingredients, environmentally-conscious production processes, benefits for employees and hiring practices, community involvement, and altruistic endeavors. My intention was to not only satisfy my yen but to also support local bakeries doing the right thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was open to exploring and tasting a variety of types beyond the classic Jewish deli rye and found a range of styles originating from mostly European countries. I woke up to the fact that rye bread is not synonymous with the taste of caraway and there are cultural and environmental influences that determine flavor, density and digestibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tartine co-owner and baker Chad Robertson shared that for the past five to seven years he has been inspired by a modern grain resurgence that has dominated the bread landscape- a movement to bring back heirloom and ancient grains. He went to Denmark where heirloom Nordic grains were being revived, specifically varieties of rye popular with Danish culture and the open-faced sandwiches known as \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%B8rrebr%C3%B8d\">smørrebrød\u003c/a> (essentially, a Danish \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_sandwich\">tartine\u003c/a>). He loved the idea of this culinary trend but realized the bread was hard on his digestion. He discovered that sprouting the rye alleviated these problems and this realization along with the recipe from his Danish chef friend, René’s Bolvig, became the inspiration for the Seeded Sprouted Rye available at Tartine (the recipe is called René’s Rye and is available in his book, Tartine Book No.3.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126447\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126447\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1.jpg\" alt=\"The interiors exposed of rye breads from San Francisco bakeries.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The interiors exposed of rye breads from San Francisco bakeries. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tasting the Rye\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe rye tasting was based on sampling the fresh bread plain and then tasting it as toast with unsalted butter.

According to co-owner/baker Michael Gassen, the rye is styled to resemble a good German rye, satisfy his wife's and mother-in-law's cravings for rye toast with cream cheese, and please Jewish East Coast transplants who, like me, miss the real deal. The crust was a bit tough when plain but became nice and crunchy when toasted.

The bread uses both yeast as well as natural sourdough starter to help with the leavening and the starter provides good sour flavor. This big loaf makes great toast on day one, as well as on day three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Co-founder Evan Bloom grew up in Los Angeles eating seeded Jewish corn rye from \u003ca href=\"http://beasbakery.com/\">Bea's Bakery\u003c/a>, the inspiration for Wise Sons rye.

When you put a loaf of bread in a plastic bag it tends to get a little soft, so we put the bread into the oven for a few minutes at 400 degrees. That gets the whole loaf extra crunchy on the outside and then when you slice it, you have this nice contrast, and your sandwich is crusty outside and soft inside, which I think is one of the keys to a good pastrami sandwich.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126477\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126477\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1.jpg\" alt=\"Wise Sons Deli Jewish Rye Bread interior.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wise Sons Deli Jewish Rye Bread interior. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What They Are Doing Right\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWise Sons uses \u003ca href=\"http://giustos.com/\">Giusto's\u003c/a> peak performer unbleached wheat flour which is a medium gluten bread flour, for their rye.

The bakery is in partnership with a mill and a farming collective. Two mills work closely together in Washington and Oregon - \u003ca href=\"https://www.camascountrymill.com/\">Camas\u003c/a> is in Oregon, they are farmer millers and grow a lot of grains for Tartine, mill it fresh and ship it every two weeks. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cairnspring.com/\">Cairnspring Mills\u003c/a> in Skagit Valley Washington is one of the richest grain-growing regions in the world with amazing soil. Tartine is building a similar network on the East Coast where they will be expanding next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breads are not certified kosher but they may seek out certification at some point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tartine does not typically have a lot of leftovers but when they do they donate goods to shelters that distribute food. The bakery is supportive to schools, \u003ca href=\"https://edibleschoolyard.org/\">The Edible Schoolyard Project\u003c/a>, and other local community charity organizations. Tartine also provides bakery and pastry donations, gift certificates, and school tours to demonstrate the baking process in action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regarding environmental-friendly practices, Chad explains that the city of San Francisco provides business incentives to separate out recycled and compostable materials as well as increase the use of compostable products. All of Tartine's to-go containers are compostable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, it is the law to provide healthcare to small business employees and Tartine has been offering the basic requirements: healthcare, paid sick leave, and maternity leave for quite some time. Chad claims they had been providing competitive salaries and were already paying above minimum wage when rates increased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program that Chad was most excited to talk about was the exchange program with South Korea and Japan. Tartine just opened up in Seoul and they are opening up in Tokyo later this year. They have an exchange program in place where Japanese and Korean bakers come to California to learn from the team in the United States and then bakers from the California team travel to Tokyo or Seoul to collaborate with the teams in Asia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chad said, \"For me that is something I really love. I have been doing that for a decade and I really wanted to make that opportunity available to my staff. It helps you grow – it helps anyone grow. The more you can travel and see different parts of the world, and the ways that people work, and the things that people make, along with different styles of doing things, it makes life much richer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chad also shared that the Asian teams are being creative, incorporating culturally specific Korean and Japanese ingredients into the Tartine breads they bake. And like the Scandinavian influence we are appreciating via the Seeded Sprouted Rye, Tartine plans to introduce the Bay Area to new breads influenced by the tastes and flavors of Korea and Japan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126563\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126563\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new.jpg\" alt=\"Tartine's Danish Style Rye on display along with other breads at the Manufactory.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tartine's Danish Style Rye on display along with other breads at the Manufactory. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126564\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126564\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new.jpg\" alt=\"Tartine's bread and pastries on display at the Manufactory.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tartine's bread and pastries on display at the Manufactory. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where To Get It\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nLocations:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tartinemanufactory.com/\">\u003cem>Tartine Manufactory\u003c/em>\u003c/a>: 595 Alabama Street, San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tartine+Manufactory/@37.7618501,-122.4141415,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e308f2ed1bb:0x88d7d35712aa2ba3!8m2!3d37.7618459!4d-122.4119475\">MAP\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tartinebakery.com/\">\u003cem>Tartine Bakery and Cafe\u003c/em>\u003c/a>: 600 Guerrero Street San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tartine+Bakery/@37.7614211,-122.4262871,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e1807365605:0x601f7a97f0ce6c6b!8m2!3d37.7614169!4d-122.4240931\">MAP\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Final Note: Rye Love\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThrough this rye exploration, I became aware of the relationship bakers have to their sourdough starter. There is a love connection that spans the time of an intimate and meaningful relationship. The starter is a living organism involved in the birth of their products, co-creating something precious, sacred and unique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Evan Bloom was told he had 10 minutes to go inside the commissary bakery fire in the Mission and take only what he needed, the eight-year old starter was at the top of the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Gassen has been using the three starters: white, rye and wheat he initiated in 1993 which form the foundation of the breads and business he shares with his wife, Mary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josey Baker proudly said: “If you want to get technical about it, rye is in all of our breads because our sourdough culture is a 100% whole grain rye, so the seed from which all of our breads are made is a whole grain rye seed. Rye is at the heart of our bakery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What was heartwarming to me was the bakers I spoke with all seemed to love their work. Their passion for the craft was reflected in the products as well as their practices. Most were invested in supporting education – both in the community as well as in their businesses. And this sense of nurturance and altruism extended to what they do on a daily basis – feeding people, creating a sense of family amongst their workers, and dough-nating to others in need.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But with Passover over, I decided to cross the bridge to see what kind of rye San Francisco had to offer. During this bread adventure, I found four more guide-worthy bakeries making quality loaves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having lived half my life in the Bay Area, I've developed a California conscience about knowing where my food comes from. And, in my quest for satisfying my appetite, it has become equally important to know the best business practices of companies supplying products I crave, and ultimately purchase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, in searching for rye bread, besides taste, texture, and loaf longevity; I also wanted to know about the bakeries choices regarding: source and quality of ingredients, environmentally-conscious production processes, benefits for employees and hiring practices, community involvement, and altruistic endeavors. My intention was to not only satisfy my yen but to also support local bakeries doing the right thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was open to exploring and tasting a variety of types beyond the classic Jewish deli rye and found a range of styles originating from mostly European countries. I woke up to the fact that rye bread is not synonymous with the taste of caraway and there are cultural and environmental influences that determine flavor, density and digestibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tartine co-owner and baker Chad Robertson shared that for the past five to seven years he has been inspired by a modern grain resurgence that has dominated the bread landscape- a movement to bring back heirloom and ancient grains. He went to Denmark where heirloom Nordic grains were being revived, specifically varieties of rye popular with Danish culture and the open-faced sandwiches known as \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%B8rrebr%C3%B8d\">smørrebrød\u003c/a> (essentially, a Danish \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_sandwich\">tartine\u003c/a>). He loved the idea of this culinary trend but realized the bread was hard on his digestion. He discovered that sprouting the rye alleviated these problems and this realization along with the recipe from his Danish chef friend, René’s Bolvig, became the inspiration for the Seeded Sprouted Rye available at Tartine (the recipe is called René’s Rye and is available in his book, Tartine Book No.3.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126447\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126447\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1.jpg\" alt=\"The interiors exposed of rye breads from San Francisco bakeries.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_1040-new1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The interiors exposed of rye breads from San Francisco bakeries. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tasting the Rye\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe rye tasting was based on sampling the fresh bread plain and then tasting it as toast with unsalted butter.

According to co-owner/baker Michael Gassen, the rye is styled to resemble a good German rye, satisfy his wife's and mother-in-law's cravings for rye toast with cream cheese, and please Jewish East Coast transplants who, like me, miss the real deal. The crust was a bit tough when plain but became nice and crunchy when toasted. After day three, the rye was best consumed as toast with butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found the bread scoring on this loaf to be quite attractive and Michael said it functioned to help keep the bread's cylindrical shape. To further maintain its shape, this rye goes through a long \u003ca href=\"https://www.thespruce.com/retarding-427620\">retardation\u003c/a> (a cold process versus the warm process of fermentation), is free form, and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofing_(baking_technique)\">proofed\u003c/a> in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+couche+for+bread&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS708US709&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiHzrTCyLLaAhWBGnwKHeIWChQQ_AUICygC&biw=1279&bih=727\">couche\u003c/a> as opposed to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+banneton+for+bread&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS708US709&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjhqJmOybLaAhUJr1QKHWLMB8EQ_AUICygC&biw=1279&bih=727\">banneton\u003c/a>.

Recently, Noe Valley Bakery has started to work with Cathrine Sneed's \u003ca href=\"https://www.gardenproject.org/\">The Garden Project\u003c/a> whose mission is to empower at risk youth by teaching them organic gardening and landscaping skills. The food they grow gets donated to local pantries and the bakery will be contributing the bread portion of that donation. Noe Valley Bakery also does demonstrations and participates in bake sales to support local public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental best practices include working with \u003ca href=\"https://www.recology.com/recology-san-francisco/\">Recology\u003c/a> to recycle and compost.

Michael emphasized that the management cares about what is going on, pays attention, and works to fix problems related to conflict amongst employees in the bakery. He talked about how retention has become more difficult in the bakery business due to increased competition and they try to be fair with pay increases, \"When minimum wages go up – everyone’s wages go up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126451\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126451\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new.jpg\" alt=\"Noe Valley Bakery bread display on 24th Street.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7077-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Noe Valley Bakery bread display on 24th Street. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126453\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126453\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new.jpg\" alt=\"Noe Valley Bakery 24th Street interior.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7080-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Noe Valley Bakery 24th Street interior. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where To Get It\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nRetail locations: \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/search/Noe+Valley+Bakery/@37.7459128,-122.467453,14z\">MAP\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>4073 24th Street, San Francisco\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>28 West Portal Avenue, San Francisco\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126480\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126480\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new.jpg\" alt=\"Wise Sons Deli Jewish Rye Bread.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0814-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wise Sons Deli Jewish Rye Bread. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"http://wisesonsdeli.com/\">Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://wisesonsdeli.com/about/our-food/\">\u003cstrong>Jewish Rye Bread\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's In It\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Jewish Rye Bread\u003c/em>: Flour, yeast, sea salt, water, caraway, rye flour, natural starter.

That gets the whole loaf extra crunchy on the outside and then when you slice it, you have this nice contrast, and your sandwich is crusty outside and soft inside, which I think is one of the keys to a good pastrami sandwich.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126477\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126477\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1.jpg\" alt=\"Wise Sons Deli Jewish Rye Bread interior.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_0921-use1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wise Sons Deli Jewish Rye Bread interior. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What They Are Doing Right\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWise Sons uses \u003ca href=\"http://giustos.com/\">Giusto's\u003c/a> peak performer unbleached wheat flour which is a medium gluten bread flour, for their rye.

It's a hearty, brawny bread that would be good for survival outings in the woods since it packs some serious loaf longevity.

The bakery is in partnership with a mill and a farming collective. Two mills work closely together in Washington and Oregon - \u003ca href=\"https://www.camascountrymill.com/\">Camas\u003c/a> is in Oregon, they are farmer millers and grow a lot of grains for Tartine, mill it fresh and ship it every two weeks. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cairnspring.com/\">Cairnspring Mills\u003c/a> in Skagit Valley Washington is one of the richest grain-growing regions in the world with amazing soil. Tartine is building a similar network on the East Coast where they will be expanding next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breads are not certified kosher but they may seek out certification at some point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tartine does not typically have a lot of leftovers but when they do they donate goods to shelters that distribute food. The bakery is supportive to schools, \u003ca href=\"https://edibleschoolyard.org/\">The Edible Schoolyard Project\u003c/a>, and other local community charity organizations. Tartine also provides bakery and pastry donations, gift certificates, and school tours to demonstrate the baking process in action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regarding environmental-friendly practices, Chad explains that the city of San Francisco provides business incentives to separate out recycled and compostable materials as well as increase the use of compostable products. All of Tartine's to-go containers are compostable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, it is the law to provide healthcare to small business employees and Tartine has been offering the basic requirements: healthcare, paid sick leave, and maternity leave for quite some time. Chad claims they had been providing competitive salaries and were already paying above minimum wage when rates increased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program that Chad was most excited to talk about was the exchange program with South Korea and Japan. Tartine just opened up in Seoul and they are opening up in Tokyo later this year. They have an exchange program in place where Japanese and Korean bakers come to California to learn from the team in the United States and then bakers from the California team travel to Tokyo or Seoul to collaborate with the teams in Asia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chad said, \"For me that is something I really love. I have been doing that for a decade and I really wanted to make that opportunity available to my staff. It helps you grow – it helps anyone grow. The more you can travel and see different parts of the world, and the ways that people work, and the things that people make, along with different styles of doing things, it makes life much richer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chad also shared that the Asian teams are being creative, incorporating culturally specific Korean and Japanese ingredients into the Tartine breads they bake. And like the Scandinavian influence we are appreciating via the Seeded Sprouted Rye, Tartine plans to introduce the Bay Area to new breads influenced by the tastes and flavors of Korea and Japan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126563\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126563\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new.jpg\" alt=\"Tartine's Danish Style Rye on display along with other breads at the Manufactory.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7592-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tartine's Danish Style Rye on display along with other breads at the Manufactory. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126564\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-126564\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new.jpg\" alt=\"Tartine's bread and pastries on display at the Manufactory.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/IMG_7594-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tartine's bread and pastries on display at the Manufactory. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where To Get It\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nLocations:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tartinemanufactory.com/\">\u003cem>Tartine Manufactory\u003c/em>\u003c/a>: 595 Alabama Street, San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tartine+Manufactory/@37.7618501,-122.4141415,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e308f2ed1bb:0x88d7d35712aa2ba3!8m2!3d37.7618459!4d-122.4119475\">MAP\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tartinebakery.com/\">\u003cem>Tartine Bakery and Cafe\u003c/em>\u003c/a>: 600 Guerrero Street San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tartine+Bakery/@37.7614211,-122.4262871,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e1807365605:0x601f7a97f0ce6c6b!8m2!3d37.7614169!4d-122.4240931\">MAP\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Final Note: Rye Love\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThrough this rye exploration, I became aware of the relationship bakers have to their sourdough starter.

Its goal: Promoting healthy soil that's full of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I met three different farmers recently who are part of this movement in one way or another.

Some farmers have made claims of dramatic success that others have called \u003ca href=\"http://csanr.wsu.edu/regen-ag-solid-principles-extraordinary-claims/\">unrealistic\u003c/a>. There's no universally accepted measure of soil health, nor a clear definition of regenerative farming. Each of the farmers I met approaches it differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ficke, it's a spiritual quest. He recalls the moment, on a Sunday morning, when he heard a call from God to farm in a different way, one that felt closer to the native prairie that used to flourish in eastern Nebraska.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I could feel it in my heart that we had to change. We are running out of time,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call to change involved a lot of things, but near the top of the list was protecting the soil. Farmers around the world have been mining that soil for centuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It should be on the list of endangered species. Soil is endangered!\" Ficke says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ficke, protecting it means, first of all, no more tilling the ground, breaking it up with plows and discs. \"Tillage is the most destructive thing in agriculture,\" he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not even controversial anymore. Many farmers have adopted \"no-till\" farming, recognizing its environmental benefits. But Ficke goes way beyond that. After he harvests his corn or soybeans, he plants something else on those fields right away — often a mixture of grasses and legumes like cowpeas. On some of that land, he keeps those \"cover crops\" growing right on through the next summer, instead of conventional crops like corn. His cattle graze on those fields the way bison once grazed on the prairie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The roots of these cover crops, decaying in undisturbed soil, enrich the soil. So do manure and urine from his grazing cattle. With time, the soil grows darker, more fertile — chock-full of microbes and fungi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of this is a new discovery, exactly. But two things have changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126591\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-06-07d0677f31d0ff5b2b04ba27487b352e9b6ed071-e1523303586618.jpg\" alt=\"The carbon, or "organic matter" content of this soil on Del Ficke's farm has more than doubled since he changed his farming practices.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126591\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The carbon, or \"organic matter\" content of this soil on Del Ficke's farm has more than doubled since he changed his farming practices. \u003ccite>( Dan Charles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Change #1: Ficke now has plenty of company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I started doing this stuff — \u003cem>really\u003c/em> doing this stuff — five years ago, you had to go a state away to find people\" farming in a similar way, Ficke says.

It's also full of plant nutrients, so Irlbeck won't have to spend as much money on fertilizer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there is a movement, and I believe that farmers want to be part of that movement,\" he says. \"It's just figuring out how to do it and stay economically viable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126592\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1776px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3.jpg\" alt=\"Bryce Irlbeck of Manning, Iowa, says his family's farm uses less fertilizer now that they are planting cover crops between harvests.\" width=\"1776\" height=\"1332\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126592\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3.jpg 1776w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1776px) 100vw, 1776px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bryce Irlbeck of Manning, Iowa, says his family's farm uses less fertilizer now that they are planting cover crops between harvests. \u003ccite>( Dan Charles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That's the catch. Planting those additional soil-building cover crops costs money up-front, Irlbeck says, and it takes years to see the benefits. This is the main reason why only 5 or 10 percent of farmers in Iowa are really doing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, until recently, a lot of his neighbors thought he was a little crazy. Now, they're asking him lots of curious questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's probably because of big change #2. Farmers are now hearing about the virtues of healthy soil from some of the biggest, most powerful names in American agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These include Monsanto, the seed and chemical company; food giants like General Mills and Walmart; also environmental organizations like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsusa.org/food-agriculture/advance-sustainable-agriculture/turning-soils-sponges#.WsExxS7wbIU\">Union of Concerned Scientists\u003c/a> and the Nature Conservancy. They're all talking about healthy soil as a way the farmers can help the environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's driven in part by concern over global warming. Tilling and draining soil have released enormous amounts of carbon dioxide over the years. Farming to promote healthier soil — which many are calling \"regenerative farming\" — puts some of that carbon back in the ground, slowing global warming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A coalition of food companies and environmental organizations has set up a new organization, the \u003ca href=\"http://soilhealthpartnership.org/\">Soil Health Partnership\u003c/a>, which in turn has signed up a hundred participating farmers — including Deb Gangwish, co-owner of \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pgfarmsinc94/\">PG Farms\u003c/a> in Shelton, Nebraska.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to always strive to be better, and I want consumers, or folks who are removed from agriculture, to understand what we are doing, and how much we care, and [that] we're always striving to be more sustainable,\" Gangwish says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126593\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1734px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af.jpg\" alt=\"Deb Gangwish with Farley, a cat that once stowed away in a truckload of hay and made it all the way from Nebraska to Illinois and back.\" width=\"1734\" height=\"1300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126593\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af.jpg 1734w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1734px) 100vw, 1734px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deb Gangwish with Farley, a cat that once stowed away in a truckload of hay and made it all the way from Nebraska to Illinois and back. \u003ccite>( Dan Charles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This business-backed soil health organization is promoting changes that are pretty modest. You could call it soil health lite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's carrying out experiments on these participating farms to measure the impact of farming without tillage, or growing cover crops in between regular plantings of corn and soybeans. The goal is to learn how those practices affect a farmer's profitability along with specific measures of soil health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Del Ficke, the soil health pioneer, has mixed emotions about this partnership. He's in favor anything that persuades more farmers to reduce tillage or plant cover crops is great, but he doesn't entirely trust the companies' new-found enthusiasm for soil health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Are they feeling it their heart? Is it a marketing deal? What is it?\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There may, in fact, be a marketing angle to soil health. Some food companies have been talking about a new label for food that's grown using methods that improve the soil. On the supermarket shelf, it might take its place beside packages labeled as organic, non-GMO, or Fair Trade. This one might be called \"regenerative.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents of such a label say it could encourage farmers to join the movement, paying them to help the soil. But \u003ca href=\"https://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Article/2018/03/27/Any-talk-about-regenerative-agriculture-must-involve-policy-Clif-Bar-exec\">Matthew Dillon\u003c/a>, director of agriculture for Clif Bar & Company, doesn't think its a good idea, at least not yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot of uncertainty about what farming practices really are best for the soil in different regions, he says, so it's too soon to starting using such labels. In an interview with the news site \u003cem>Food Navigator\u003c/em>, Dillon said that the labels \"may be \"good for marketers, but they may not necessarily be good for consumers or for farmers if we're not all clear what the terms mean,\" he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Some farmers have made claims of dramatic success that others have called \u003ca href=\"http://csanr.wsu.edu/regen-ag-solid-principles-extraordinary-claims/\">unrealistic\u003c/a>. There's no universally accepted measure of soil health, nor a clear definition of regenerative farming. Each of the farmers I met approaches it differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ficke, it's a spiritual quest. He recalls the moment, on a Sunday morning, when he heard a call from God to farm in a different way, one that felt closer to the native prairie that used to flourish in eastern Nebraska.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I could feel it in my heart that we had to change. We are running out of time,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call to change involved a lot of things, but near the top of the list was protecting the soil. Farmers around the world have been mining that soil for centuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It should be on the list of endangered species. Soil is endangered!\" Ficke says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ficke, protecting it means, first of all, no more tilling the ground, breaking it up with plows and discs. \"Tillage is the most destructive thing in agriculture,\" he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not even controversial anymore. Many farmers have adopted \"no-till\" farming, recognizing its environmental benefits. But Ficke goes way beyond that. After he harvests his corn or soybeans, he plants something else on those fields right away — often a mixture of grasses and legumes like cowpeas. On some of that land, he keeps those \"cover crops\" growing right on through the next summer, instead of conventional crops like corn. His cattle graze on those fields the way bison once grazed on the prairie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The roots of these cover crops, decaying in undisturbed soil, enrich the soil. So do manure and urine from his grazing cattle. With time, the soil grows darker, more fertile — chock-full of microbes and fungi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of this is a new discovery, exactly. But two things have changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126591\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-06-07d0677f31d0ff5b2b04ba27487b352e9b6ed071-e1523303586618.jpg\" alt=\"The carbon, or "organic matter" content of this soil on Del Ficke's farm has more than doubled since he changed his farming practices.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126591\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The carbon, or \"organic matter\" content of this soil on Del Ficke's farm has more than doubled since he changed his farming practices. \u003ccite>( Dan Charles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Change #1: Ficke now has plenty of company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I started doing this stuff — \u003cem>really\u003c/em> doing this stuff — five years ago, you had to go a state away to find people\" farming in a similar way, Ficke says.

It's also full of plant nutrients, so Irlbeck won't have to spend as much money on fertilizer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there is a movement, and I believe that farmers want to be part of that movement,\" he says. \"It's just figuring out how to do it and stay economically viable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126592\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1776px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3.jpg\" alt=\"Bryce Irlbeck of Manning, Iowa, says his family's farm uses less fertilizer now that they are planting cover crops between harvests.\" width=\"1776\" height=\"1332\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126592\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3.jpg 1776w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-04-532d9d2baecc17dc921ca9dc8a1d84ac771dc8c3-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1776px) 100vw, 1776px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bryce Irlbeck of Manning, Iowa, says his family's farm uses less fertilizer now that they are planting cover crops between harvests. \u003ccite>( Dan Charles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That's the catch. Planting those additional soil-building cover crops costs money up-front, Irlbeck says, and it takes years to see the benefits. This is the main reason why only 5 or 10 percent of farmers in Iowa are really doing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, until recently, a lot of his neighbors thought he was a little crazy. Now, they're asking him lots of curious questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's probably because of big change #2. Farmers are now hearing about the virtues of healthy soil from some of the biggest, most powerful names in American agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These include Monsanto, the seed and chemical company; food giants like General Mills and Walmart; also environmental organizations like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsusa.org/food-agriculture/advance-sustainable-agriculture/turning-soils-sponges#.WsExxS7wbIU\">Union of Concerned Scientists\u003c/a> and the Nature Conservancy. They're all talking about healthy soil as a way the farmers can help the environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's driven in part by concern over global warming. Tilling and draining soil have released enormous amounts of carbon dioxide over the years. Farming to promote healthier soil — which many are calling \"regenerative farming\" — puts some of that carbon back in the ground, slowing global warming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A coalition of food companies and environmental organizations has set up a new organization, the \u003ca href=\"http://soilhealthpartnership.org/\">Soil Health Partnership\u003c/a>, which in turn has signed up a hundred participating farmers — including Deb Gangwish, co-owner of \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pgfarmsinc94/\">PG Farms\u003c/a> in Shelton, Nebraska.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to always strive to be better, and I want consumers, or folks who are removed from agriculture, to understand what we are doing, and how much we care, and [that] we're always striving to be more sustainable,\" Gangwish says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126593\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1734px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af.jpg\" alt=\"Deb Gangwish with Farley, a cat that once stowed away in a truckload of hay and made it all the way from Nebraska to Illinois and back.\" width=\"1734\" height=\"1300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126593\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af.jpg 1734w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/04/dirt-05-2a09190ddc0d04198cbceb0be7f9bb7c4f7393af-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1734px) 100vw, 1734px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deb Gangwish with Farley, a cat that once stowed away in a truckload of hay and made it all the way from Nebraska to Illinois and back. \u003ccite>( Dan Charles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This business-backed soil health organization is promoting changes that are pretty modest. You could call it soil health lite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's carrying out experiments on these participating farms to measure the impact of farming without tillage, or growing cover crops in between regular plantings of corn and soybeans. The goal is to learn how those practices affect a farmer's profitability along with specific measures of soil health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Del Ficke, the soil health pioneer, has mixed emotions about this partnership. He's in favor anything that persuades more farmers to reduce tillage or plant cover crops is great, but he doesn't entirely trust the companies' new-found enthusiasm for soil health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Are they feeling it their heart? Is it a marketing deal? What is it?\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There may, in fact, be a marketing angle to soil health. Some food companies have been talking about a new label for food that's grown using methods that improve the soil. On the supermarket shelf, it might take its place beside packages labeled as organic, non-GMO, or Fair Trade. This one might be called \"regenerative.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents of such a label say it could encourage farmers to join the movement, paying them to help the soil. But \u003ca href=\"https://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Article/2018/03/27/Any-talk-about-regenerative-agriculture-must-involve-policy-Clif-Bar-exec\">Matthew Dillon\u003c/a>, director of agriculture for Clif Bar & Company, doesn't think its a good idea, at least not yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot of uncertainty about what farming practices really are best for the soil in different regions, he says, so it's too soon to starting using such labels. In an interview with the news site \u003cem>Food Navigator\u003c/em>, Dillon said that the labels \"may be \"good for marketers, but they may not necessarily be good for consumers or for farmers if we're not all clear what the terms mean,\" he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
