This Bay Area native is a longtime food & wine journalist and blogger who has contributed to regional publications such as the San Jose Mercury News and its affiliates, Metro, San Francisco Chronicle, South Bay Accent, Urbanspoon and other epistles that are lucky enough not to have been killed off yet by the publishing crisis.",

Part of their impetus was \u003ca href=\"https://www.economist.com/business/2012/11/24/fiery-food-boring-beer\">an article\u003c/a> that ran a few years prior in \u003cem>The\u003c/em> \u003cem>Economist\u003c/em>. \"Brewing remains just about the only useful activity at which North Korea beats the South,\" the article concluded, while declaring North Korea's \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/10/business/worldbusiness/10iht-beer.1.10865644.html?_r=1&login=smartlock&auth=login-smartlock\">government-brewed Taedonggang\u003c/a> as more memorable than South Korea's beer offerings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many South Koreans, Yang and Kim wanted to prove that conclusion wrong. So they teamed up with Daniel Tudor, the article's author, and opened a pub that served pizza and craft beer out of a Seoul alley. Their patriotic origin story and quirky branding — their bottles have colorful labels featuring the adventures of a blue creature called the Boothman — quickly attracted a fan base. Within the year, they expanded to four more locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hoppy beers, it's an acquired taste,\" says Yang. \"The first time you try it, it's a little different and bitter, but then once you get the hang of it, you really appreciate the style and then people kind of get addicted to it.\" For many of their customers, trying American-style hoppy IPAs for the first time was a hard sell. \"I think half the customers, when they first came to our bar, thought our beer was too bitter, so they couldn't finish a pint. But then as time passed on, that wasn't a problem anymore,\" Yang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a good time to join the craft beer business. In the early 2000s, the Korean government started issuing microbrewery licenses, leading to a boom in brewpubs, usually offering German-style beers like wheat beers and Pilsners. But they were only allowed to sell their beer on the brewery premises. In 2014, the laws changed, allowing smaller breweries to finally distribute outside of their pubs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133320\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/eurekaseoul-hop-ale-series2-6eb0536c55f912d7ce5ab9d98bcb9086b0266071-e1554828453905.jpg\" alt=\"Booth's patriotic origin story and quirky branding — its cans and bottles have colorful labels featuring the adventures of a blue creature called the Boothman — quickly attracted a fan b\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133320\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Booth's patriotic origin story and quirky branding — its cans and bottles have colorful labels featuring the adventures of a blue creature called the Boothman — quickly attracted a fan b \u003ccite>(Courtesy of The Booth Brewing Co.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few years ago, Booth was having its beers made off-site by a contract brewery. But the company wanted to grow, and to do that, it needed its own brewery. At the same time, Eureka's Lost Coast brewing, an American craft beer mainstay since 1989, was also growing. Yang and Kim were familiar with Lost Coast, and when that brewery announced its move to a bigger facility, the Booth founders heard the news. So they traveled across the world to buy Lost Coast's 30-barrel brew house, and started producing beer there in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, shipping the beer back to Korea is expensive, Yang says. But it's actually a better business model for them, because of access to ingredients like hops. There wasn't a distributor in Korea, so they had to import their own, which sometimes didn't make it through customs. There was also a bigger pool of brewer talent in America. And it was cheaper for Booth to make beer overseas because of Korea's tax laws, which impose larger taxes on Korean-made beers than on imported ones, much to the irritation of local breweries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Booth also has a small, four-barrel brewing system in Korea, the majority of its beer is brewed in Eureka and shipped back, or distributed throughout Humboldt County, Calif., and the Bay Area. The company offers a variety of beers and enjoys collaborating with other breweries worldwide as well as producing limited edition beers, such as a smoothie IPA that benefits LGBT charities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Booth's beer offerings are tailored to the two markets. The company doesn't push its hoppier IPAs in Korea, since they're more expensive to produce and not as price competitive as other options. And craft beer has become such an established part of American drinking culture that any decent bar is more likely to have a variety of craft beers than mass lagers like Budweiser, Yang points out. \"Whereas Korea, we're still in the stages where craft beer is something new, it's interesting to try, so it's something that you kind of opt for and maybe not go back to it for a while,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot of excitement in the Korean beer scene, but it's still early. \"The craft market in Korea is growing steadily and has a pretty wide 'general awareness' in the country, but details and a real understanding is still lacking outside of a few small groups of hardcore fans,\" Erik Moynihan, CEO of Seoul-based Magpie Brewing, wrote in an email. He points to encouraging signs, like the fact that there's been a spike in the number of new breweries opening, and new laws allowing craft breweries to sell their products in grocery and convenience stores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, there have been discussions in the Korean craft beer scene about what defines a Korean brewery: If the owners aren't Korean nationals, does it still count? What about Booth and Korean breweries that make their beers in other countries? \"It's a whirlpool of opinion that we at Magpie are often caught up in as well,\" Moynihan says. \"Regardless, Booth was present at the beginning of the beer scene in Korea, and really had an impact on the attention (domestic and global) that our market has attracted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Booth — which considers itself a \"global company starting from Seoul,\" Kim wrote in an email — hopes to grow that market even more, with a taproom in Eureka slated to open this year, and possibly one in Los Angeles. The company also wants to expand into Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam, which have been slower to adopt craft beer than Korea has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Trends are really fast,\" Yang says of Korea's relationship with craft beer. \"It catches on really fast, it goes away really fast, but we hope that this one's here to stay.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Shelby Pope is a freelance writer living and eating her way through Oakland, Calif. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Copyright 2019 NPR.

The Bay Area is home to the largest population of Filipinos in the country, and there’s so much undiscovered culinary talent here. These chefs are pushing the boundaries of Filipino cuisine and reinterpreting it a uniquely Filipino-American perspective.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133043\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-133043\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/KC-W1_Mystery-Bag_Sarap-Shop_credit-Albert-Law.jpg\" alt=\"Sarap Shop’s Mystery bag will include their signature Halo Halo Milk Tea and a mystery flavor of onigiri.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/KC-W1_Mystery-Bag_Sarap-Shop_credit-Albert-Law.jpg 1600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/KC-W1_Mystery-Bag_Sarap-Shop_credit-Albert-Law-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/KC-W1_Mystery-Bag_Sarap-Shop_credit-Albert-Law-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/KC-W1_Mystery-Bag_Sarap-Shop_credit-Albert-Law-768x513.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/KC-W1_Mystery-Bag_Sarap-Shop_credit-Albert-Law-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/KC-W1_Mystery-Bag_Sarap-Shop_credit-Albert-Law-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarap Shop’s Mystery bag will include their signature Halo Halo Milk Tea and a mystery flavor of onigiri. \u003ccite>(Albert Law)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With participation from 7 restaurants and 16 chefs, this two-week affair will showcase the vibrant flavors of the Philippines through two self-guided food crawls featuring secret, off-menu dishes chosen by the chefs themselves.

I'd never baked bread before,\" she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had excess bread so we'd show up at our friends' and neighbors' doors. 'Hey, here's a loaf of bread,'\" Mayimin recalls with a laugh. The response was so enthusiastic and the baking so much fun that she soon had her business concept, which started with free local delivery of her loaves based on an ebullient response to postcards left on doorsteps in her neighborhood.

Mary Novak took over the vineyard after her husband’s death in 1977 and successfully completed her first harvest soon after, selling grapes to local vintners. Her daughters joined Novak (Beth in 1987 and Lindy in 1992) and, together, the trio established Spottswoode as one of Napa Valley’s most esteemed multigenerational family estates. They are known for their Cabernet Sauvignon, and, according to Check, Please! Bay Area host Leslie Sbrocco's \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/17194/check-please-bay-area-season-11-premiere-reviews-the-hummingbird-sumika-and-orexi\">wine notes from Season 11's premiere\u003c/a>, it \"is rightly celebrated for its elegance and ageworthiness.\"\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=\"bayareabites_131469\" label=\"Ancho Chili and Chocolate Braised Short Ribs\"]\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spottswoode has made an enduring commitment to stewardship over the years by adopting solar energy, spearheading the restoration of Spring Creek, annually contributing 1% of winery profits to environmental causes through 1% for the Planet, and making notable contributions to the Land Trust of Napa County, Garden Conservancy, Yosemite Conservancy, and the Trust for Public Land. Today, Beth is Spottswoode’s President & CEO, and Lindy is its Marketing Ambassador. They carry on their mother’s legacy with their families (and Pete, the family labrador and Chief Greeter at Spottswoode).\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more eateries to visit during Women's History Month, see below.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>San Francisco\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.frances-sf.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Frances\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Melissa Perello, chef & owner\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.octavia-sf.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Octavia\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Melissa Perello, chef & owner\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://bpatisserie.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">b.patisserie\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Belinda Leong, head pastry chef & owner\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://frenchsoulfood.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brenda’s French Soul Food\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Brenda Buenviaje, chef & co-owner, and Libby Truesdell, co-owner\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.libbyjane.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Libby Jane\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Brenda Buenviaje, chef & co-owner, and Libby Truesdell, co-owner\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://brendasmeatandthree.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brenda’s Meat & Three\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Brenda Buenviaje, chef & co-owner, and Libby Truesdell, co-owner\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/19180/check-please-bay-area-reviews-roccos-cafe-maybecks-brendas-french-soul-food\"> (\u003cb>Watch Check, Please!

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

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