"content": "\u003cp>\"I know from my own experience, being hungry to write about food but clueless on where to start, that you need mentors and coaches willing to share what they know. It's easier to tell original stories in food, in whatever medium, when you feel part of a creative community engaged in the same work,\" explains John Birdsall, one of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thefoodmedialab.com/\">Food Media Lab\u003c/a> event chairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To open up the conversation and educate both those already in the industry and those who aspire to join it, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfcooking.com/\">San Francisco Cooking School\u003c/a> (SFCS) is launching their first ever annual Food Media Lab from \u003cb>June 17th-19th\u003c/b>. The goal of this three-day workshop will be to \"educate, inspire, and grow the industry's next generation of food media professionals,\" and attendees will learn things like pitching a story, how to plan a podcast, navigating a contract and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFCS founder and director Jodi Liano explains, \"Food media has exploded nationally in recent years with a stronger emphasis on diversity, personal narratives, politics, and progressive social movements. We are excited to host this event and bring together both aspiring and seasoned media professionals to learn from one another, openly discuss the media landscape, and explore the art of storytelling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why \"The Stories You Tell\" is the common theme for this community workshop, and attendees will hopefully leave feeling inspired and armed with the knowledge and tools needed to bring their stories to life. Along with opportunities to rub shoulders with some of the brightest minds in the food world today, attendees can expect plenty of content to take home and interactive sessions around different aspects of food media: writing about food (cookbooks, memoirs, personal essays, blogging, and exploration of food culture), visual/audio media (photography, videos, and podcasting) and building your audience via social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132811\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132811\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Andrea Nguyen, Jodi Liano, John Birdsall (left to right)\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy-160x100.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy-800x500.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy-768x480.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy-1020x638.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy-1200x750.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andrea Nguyen, Jodi Liano, John Birdsall (left to right) \u003ccite>(Aubrie Pick and SFCS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And who will you meet and learn from at the Food Media Lab?

Because it's such a small group, participants will be able to (and are encouraged to) ask questions at all the workshops and interactive sessions. There will also be a Happy Hour on the first day after all the workshops and a daily one-hour lunch break (food provided) where both speakers and participants can mix and mingle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132775\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132775\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/SFCS-exterior_Courtesy-of-SFCS-e1551719255524.jpg\" alt=\"The Food Media Lab will take place at the San Francisco Cooking School.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1275\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Food Media Lab will take place at the San Francisco Cooking School. \u003ccite>(SFCS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The opportunity for attendees to network with each other and with guest speakers is also one of the biggest benefits that the Food Media Lab provides. \"Many people want to impact the food media landscape yet the paths to do so aren't evident. The Lab brings those people together with seasoned professionals whom we've identified as thoughtful leaders and generous teachers. The synergy will be amazing. There's nothing like this — yet,\" says Nguyen, one of the event chairs.

The goal of this three-day workshop will be to \"educate, inspire, and grow the industry's next generation of food media professionals,\" and attendees will learn things like pitching a story, how to plan a podcast, navigating a contract and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFCS founder and director Jodi Liano explains, \"Food media has exploded nationally in recent years with a stronger emphasis on diversity, personal narratives, politics, and progressive social movements. We are excited to host this event and bring together both aspiring and seasoned media professionals to learn from one another, openly discuss the media landscape, and explore the art of storytelling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why \"The Stories You Tell\" is the common theme for this community workshop, and attendees will hopefully leave feeling inspired and armed with the knowledge and tools needed to bring their stories to life. Along with opportunities to rub shoulders with some of the brightest minds in the food world today, attendees can expect plenty of content to take home and interactive sessions around different aspects of food media: writing about food (cookbooks, memoirs, personal essays, blogging, and exploration of food culture), visual/audio media (photography, videos, and podcasting) and building your audience via social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132811\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132811\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Andrea Nguyen, Jodi Liano, John Birdsall (left to right)\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy-160x100.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy-800x500.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy-768x480.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy-1020x638.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/sfcs-chairs-copy-1200x750.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andrea Nguyen, Jodi Liano, John Birdsall (left to right) \u003ccite>(Aubrie Pick and SFCS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And who will you meet and learn from at the Food Media Lab?

"content": "\u003cp>Any kid with a cellphone or social media account is likely to be following one or more of thousands of social media influencers who regularly post about what they do, what they like and what they eat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally, these are people in their 20s who are successful, outgoing, positive, energetic and \"highly appealing\" to the younger crowd, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/psychology/staff/anna-coates/\">Anna Coates\u003c/a>, a doctoral student at the School of Psychology at the University of Liverpool in the U.K.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coates wanted to know just how much kids' diets could be influenced by these video bloggers. So she and her colleagues conducted a study involving 176 children ages 9 to 11. The kids were divided into three groups. All the groups were shown images from real YouTube videos posted by popular vloggers in the U.K.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One group viewed vloggers who were not eating but holding an iPhone or sneaker, for example. Another group viewed images of vloggers eating healthy snacks like fruits or carrots. The third group viewed images of junk food being consumed, which included items like Mars chocolate bars, chocolate biscuits, and cookies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After viewing the images, children had 10 minutes to choose between healthy snacks (carrot sticks and grapes) and unhealthy snacks (jelly beans and chocolate buttons). Watching the social media influencers consume healthy snacks did not make a significant difference in which foods — or how much — the children chose to eat after viewing the images.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for those children who viewed vloggers eating unhealthy snacks, it was a different story: They consumed 32 percent more calories from unhealthy snacks compared with the children who viewed no food being eaten. And that translated to an extra 90 calories per day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It only takes an extra 70 calories a day for a child of normal weight to become overweight,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://www.drnataliemuth.com/\">Dr. Natalie Muth\u003c/a>, a spokesperson for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aap.org/en-us/Pages/Default.aspx\">American Academy of Pediatrics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a pediatrician, Muth says many of her patients are overweight or obese, which puts them at risk for a variety of diseases later in life — or even while they're still in childhood: She says she's seeing an increase in the number of children diagnosed with \u003ca href=\"http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/type-2/\">Type 2 diabetes\u003c/a>, a disease formerly suffered by mostly adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's well-known that junk food ads on TV can strongly \u003ca href=\"https://publichealthlawcenter.org/topics/healthy-eating/food-marketing-kids\">influence\u003c/a> what kids want to eat. Muth worries that the added influence of social media will exacerbate an already unhealthy food environment, where kids are constantly being \"bombarded by media images to eat junk food and drink unhealthy sugary drinks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coates and her co-authors conclude that food marketing restrictions should be applied to new forms of digital marketing, particularly on social media, where \"vulnerable young people spend a lot of their time.\" More research is needed to understand the impact of digital food marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Coates suggests that parents prepare their children for the junk food onslaught by talking with them about what's healthy and what's not. Her study is \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.2018-2554\">published \u003c/a>this week in the journal \u003cem>Pediatrics\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Copyright 2019 NPR.

So she and her colleagues conducted a study involving 176 children ages 9 to 11. The kids were divided into three groups. All the groups were shown images from real YouTube videos posted by popular vloggers in the U.K.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One group viewed vloggers who were not eating but holding an iPhone or sneaker, for example. Another group viewed images of vloggers eating healthy snacks like fruits or carrots. The third group viewed images of junk food being consumed, which included items like Mars chocolate bars, chocolate biscuits, and cookies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After viewing the images, children had 10 minutes to choose between healthy snacks (carrot sticks and grapes) and unhealthy snacks (jelly beans and chocolate buttons). Watching the social media influencers consume healthy snacks did not make a significant difference in which foods — or how much — the children chose to eat after viewing the images.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And that translated to an extra 90 calories per day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It only takes an extra 70 calories a day for a child of normal weight to become overweight,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://www.drnataliemuth.com/\">Dr. Natalie Muth\u003c/a>, a spokesperson for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aap.org/en-us/Pages/Default.aspx\">American Academy of Pediatrics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a pediatrician, Muth says many of her patients are overweight or obese, which puts them at risk for a variety of diseases later in life — or even while they're still in childhood: She says she's seeing an increase in the number of children diagnosed with \u003ca href=\"http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/type-2/\">Type 2 diabetes\u003c/a>, a disease formerly suffered by mostly adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's well-known that junk food ads on TV can strongly \u003ca href=\"https://publichealthlawcenter.org/topics/healthy-eating/food-marketing-kids\">influence\u003c/a> what kids want to eat. Muth worries that the added influence of social media will exacerbate an already unhealthy food environment, where kids are constantly being \"bombarded by media images to eat junk food and drink unhealthy sugary drinks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coates and her co-authors conclude that food marketing restrictions should be applied to new forms of digital marketing, particularly on social media, where \"vulnerable young people spend a lot of their time.\" More research is needed to understand the impact of digital food marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Coates suggests that parents prepare their children for the junk food onslaught by talking with them about what's healthy and what's not.

There’s hardly any information online about these two locations. When I discovered a website for Sam’s, I reached out to the webmaster inquiring about more information.

The menu is extremely limited, with only 11 options plus beverages. But, I guess it makes it easier for you to focus on what you want to order.

Before these tacos, Autlán de Navarro’s only claim to fame, known to me, was birthing Carlos Santana. The tacos brought the truck its second claim to fame: an Instagram photo showing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BmFOpqOh79A/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alexis Ohanian\u003c/a> brought Serena Williams there to chomp down! The truck is open late every day of the week to provide a much needed sponge of flavor to those stumbling out of the bar that the truck shares a parking lot with.

They’ve been serving the East Oakland community for 24 hours a day for over 60 years. That’s a lot of french fries. As one of two 24 hour non-chain restaurants in the entire East Bay (the other being \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">1/4 Lb Big Burger in Martinez), you get a parking lot, a chill environment and affordable prices. You’ll often find an interesting intersection of late night constituents from Oakland and Alameda, since the restaurant sits right at the entrance (or exit) of the Park Street bridge. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You’ll also find your model diner with a veneer counter and stools facing the kitchen. There’s several booths with vinyl seats. It’s best to leave any fresh leafy greens out of the equation for fear of disappointment —stick to things like their patty melts. Even better, try The San Franciscan: a beef patty on butter griddled sourdough bread slices with Swiss cheese and fried onions.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rudy's+Can't+Fail+Cafe/@37.8309642,-122.2881817,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x80857e1518030fc1:0xea496f32d455a58d!8m2!3d37.83096!4d-122.285993\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4081 Hollis St\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nEmeryville, CA 94608\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BkYL39HgQJ6/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although the Oakland branch of \u003ca href=\"https://www.iamrudy.com/menu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rudy’s\u003c/a> shuttered its doors in 2018, this Rudy’s seems to be undefeated as the Emeryville go-to during all hours of the night and day. Don’t even think about coming here on the weekends without standing in giant lines! There are some fun trivia facts about Rudy’s people will always tell you: first, the restaurant was named after the 1979 song Rudie Can't Fail by The Clash and second, co-owner Mike Dirnt, the Berkeley-born bassist for the band Green Day, help to establish the original Rudy's in 2002. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rudy’s extensive menu reminds you that not everything you eat late at night has to be soaked in grease. They offer some solid healthy options like grilled chicken salads and club sandwiches. But, make no mistake, you can still find those Americana classics: patty melts, fried chicken dinners and pie!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Monkey King Pub & Grub\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/1315+Park+St,+Alameda,+CA+94501/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x808f86bdc2f73311:0x37db1cd6d034af1f?ved=2ahUKEwjvs_SOxb7gAhXLIDQIHVBvDiUQ8gEwAHoECAAQAQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1315 Park St\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nAlameda, CA 94501\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BmRRBL1n4X9/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It seems like Alameda shuts down early.

Their dried fried ribs seem to be just as popular as their jambalaya fried rice (add optional runny yolk), jambalaya noodles, garlic noodles and chicken wings. But, one of their more unique offerings are Disco Fries which are a uniquely New Jersey creation and can be seen on a lot of East Coast diner menus. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you happen to be around during regular humanoid hours, you can also visit their Monkey King at the Brewery, which has some different food options than the pub. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

There’s hardly any information online about these two locations. When I discovered a website for Sam’s, I reached out to the webmaster inquiring about more information. Even he didn’t know anything, “...\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">when I did try to look them up, I never had any luck finding any contact informa\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">tion for them either.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">With a little bit of dig, I found a business listing stating that both locations are currently up for sale as turn-keys. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Sam's Super Burgers No. 1 has been operating in this same location since the 1960s. The present owner has been operating the business since 2001.” These locations are incredibly convenient to two types of people: those who begrudge stripping themselves of their pajamas in order to acquire late night munchies and those who would like an alternative to corporate fast food chains. The menu is extremely limited, with only 11 options plus beverages. But, I guess it makes it easier for you to focus on what you want to order.

Before these tacos, Autlán de Navarro’s only claim to fame, known to me, was birthing Carlos Santana. The tacos brought the truck its second claim to fame: an Instagram photo showing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BmFOpqOh79A/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alexis Ohanian\u003c/a> brought Serena Williams there to chomp down! The truck is open late every day of the week to provide a much needed sponge of flavor to those stumbling out of the bar that the truck shares a parking lot with.

They’ve been serving the East Oakland community for 24 hours a day for over 60 years. That’s a lot of french fries. As one of two 24 hour non-chain restaurants in the entire East Bay (the other being \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">1/4 Lb Big Burger in Martinez), you get a parking lot, a chill environment and affordable prices. You’ll often find an interesting intersection of late night constituents from Oakland and Alameda, since the restaurant sits right at the entrance (or exit) of the Park Street bridge. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You’ll also find your model diner with a veneer counter and stools facing the kitchen. There’s several booths with vinyl seats. It’s best to leave any fresh leafy greens out of the equation for fear of disappointment —stick to things like their patty melts. Even better, try The San Franciscan: a beef patty on butter griddled sourdough bread slices with Swiss cheese and fried onions.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rudy's+Can't+Fail+Cafe/@37.8309642,-122.2881817,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x80857e1518030fc1:0xea496f32d455a58d!8m2!3d37.83096!4d-122.285993\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4081 Hollis St\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nEmeryville, CA 94608\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Don’t even think about coming here on the weekends without standing in giant lines! There are some fun trivia facts about Rudy’s people will always tell you: first, the restaurant was named after the 1979 song Rudie Can't Fail by The Clash and second, co-owner Mike Dirnt, the Berkeley-born bassist for the band Green Day, help to establish the original Rudy's in 2002. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rudy’s extensive menu reminds you that not everything you eat late at night has to be soaked in grease.

"content": "\u003cp>Katherine Harmon Courage wants us to think about digestion as a collaborative journey between us and our microbes. In her new book, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/books/titles/697117567/cultured-how-ancient-foods-can-feed-our-microbiome\">\u003cem>Cultured: How Ancient Foods Can Feed Our Microbiome\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, she envisions digestion not as a simple food-in, excrement-out process, but as a series of encounters with varying microbial players that takes place along the winding 30-foot tunnel of our gastrointestinal tract. Along the way, microbes digest the food we can't, and in return we give them a warm, well-stocked place to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"z83tTpd5wCRp3bc26Mzog967LOTteGui\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a surge in microbiome research over the past two decades has revealed they do much more than simply digest food. They can \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/08/06/635362706/diet-hit-a-snag-your-gut-bacteria-may-be-partly-to-blame\">mediate weight gain\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/04/07/598093165/could-you-fight-off-worms-depends-on-your-gut-microbes\">fight off infection\u003c/a>, and even \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2013/11/18/244526773/gut-bacteria-might-guide-the-workings-of-our-minds\">alter our mood\u003c/a>. Scientists still have much to learn about the identity of these microbes, which are important, and how the beneficial ones work their magic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incomplete understanding hasn't stopped the burgeoning probiotic industry, which argues that we can improve our gut health by taking a pill stuffed with billions of beneficial strains of bacteria, or eating a probiotic-infused yogurt with breakfast. The thinking goes that we just need to eat the right microbes to construct a healthier gut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courage believes this focus on the microbes themselves is myopic. She views the process of digestion as collaborative because the food we put into our bodies affects the kinds of bacteria that live and thrive there. In her book, she explores the science behind how what we feed our microbes affects our health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She thinks we can learn how to better work together with our microbial partners by looking to the past. From Greenland to Greece, Courage explores the ancient gut-friendly foods that have become integral parts of many food cultures, and offers suggestions on how to diversify the kinds of foods we feed our microbiome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We spoke with Courage about the science behind pro- and prebiotics, and what she learned exploring fermented staples across the world. The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A lot of the buzz around the microbiome has been about the microbes themselves, and what they do for us. You focus much of your book on what they eat, the \" prebiotics\" we feed them. Why?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may be less interesting to talk about fiber than about all these new species we're learning about and infusing into foods, but what we feed our microbes is just as important as what microbes are there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that, from our human perspective, it's helpful to think about microbes in two broad categories. There are microbes that we have in our guts throughout our lives that are adapted for living there, and then there are the microbes we get from food or supplements. Those latter ones just kind of pass through. They can survive the journey, and can certainly provide benefits along the way, but they aren't long-term residents of the gut, and they're not going to have the long-term health impacts that more-permanent residents might have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're starting to learn more about how we can create the conditions for those resident microbes to thrive and potentially benefit us, and a large part of that is what we feed them. And much of what we feed them is fiber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens if we don't feed our microbes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then they start to eat us — our lower intestine, which is only a single human cell thick, which helps us absorb as much as we can from our digested food before we expel it. But it also makes it easy for things to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When our microbes don't get enough fiber, they can start eating away the mucus lining protecting this thin layer, and sometimes the lining can break, which can lead, literally, to leaky gut syndrome, which is associated with many poor health outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When I think of fiber, I think processed, cardboard-like breakfast cereal. Is fiber more diverse than that? How important is having a diverse diet of fiber to cultivating a healthy microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prebiotic fiber is just any kind of carbohydrate that we can't digest ourselves that instead passes through out digestive system as food for microbes. There are many different types of fiber that get broken down by different microbes at different stages of digestion. That's why it's a good idea to eat a wide variety of foods, and not just focus on a particular supplement here and there. Lots of different kinds of fibers help lots of different microbes thrive and create different beneficial compounds for us. Which is good because we're learning that generally, a more diverse microbiome is an indicator of health. If you look at people's guts around the world — and even in the same society — people with more diverse microbiomes tend to be healthier overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some examples of different types of fiber and the foods that carry them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One kind of fiber that's gotten a lot of focus is inulin. We've actually been adding it to foods for longer than we've been looking closely at it, but it's commonly found in foods like chicory root or sunchokes. It's a very long carbohydrate chain, which means it takes a bit longer to pass through our system and get broken down by microbes. Research shows that it encourages growth of \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4908950/\">bifidobacteria\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4045285/\">lactobacteria \u003c/a>[two strains of bacteria commonly associated with health benefits].\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another big one comes from fruits and veggies, called Fructo-oligosaccharides. It's shorter than inulin and adding it to your diet has been shown to reduce markers of inflammation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Galacto-oligosaccharides are another form of fiber found in milk, and are broken down in the colon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was really surprised to learn about resistant starch as another form of fiber. It comes from more simple carbohydrates that have been cooked and then cooled; think of cold potato or pasta salad. So once those starches are crystallized, they become the type of resistant starch that our bodies can't break down anymore [but our microbes can]. Even cold pasta, which you don't necessarily think of as being healthy, can be a great source of resistant starch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do other aspects of our diet besides fiber affect the microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost everything we eat has some kind of impact on our microbes. One example I talk about in the book is meat. Really kind of fatty meats like pork can have a negative health impact on us via our microbes, because they produce a metabolite called \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5127123/\">TMAO, \u003c/a>which has been linked to negative health outcomes. But fish oil has been shown to be beneficial — the microbes of mice fed fish oil instead of pork lard produced much fewer TMAOs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another exciting area of research is looking at how gene expression in the same microbial strains can change, based on what they're being fed. Different metabolites get produced not by different microbes, but by the same microbes being fed differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You looked at a lot of research comparing Western diets to more traditional, hunter-gatherer diets. How did their diets and microbiomes differ?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers look to hunter-gatherer societies to try to understand what our ancestral diets looked like, before the advent of agriculture. This can give us clues potentially to the kinds of diets humans are adapted for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These studies find that we eat a lot less fiber than we probably used to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FDA recommends something like 30 grams of fiber a day, but most Americans don't even get that. Traditional hunter-gatherer cultures, like the Hadza group in Africa, eat 100-plus grams of fiber a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So people eating modern, Western diets are getting maybe 15 to 30 grams of fiber a day, when our bodies may be adapted to expect over 100. This lack of fiber seems to be making a big impact on the diversity of our microbiome. These traditional, high-fiber dieters have a much more diverse microbiome than [people eating] more modern diets, [and the former] is often linked to better health outcomes. It's hard to draw hard conclusions about cause and effect here, because there are so many other lifestyle factors at play, but it certainly seems that our low-fiber diet is not great for our health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In reporting your book, you go on a culinary quest exploring all these different fermented and microbial foods. What was the most surprising food you encountered?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By far it was Kiviak, which is a traditional Inuit food from Greenland. Kiviak is birds, specifically Auks, fermented inside a seal skin. So when Auks are in season they capture the birds and stuff [up to 500] in the seal skin, sew it up and leave it underground to ferment for a year, and then dig it up and eat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to remember that fermentation didn't necessarily come about because people were thinking about the health benefits. It was a way to preserve foods and make it through a harsh Greenland winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A lot of these foods are not seen as individual things to be eaten for a specific benefit, but rich, integral parts of food culture. How does culture shape how we feed our microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's really not a culture out there that doesn't incorporate some kind of fermented food, and many have a rich diversity of different kinds of fermented foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We think about things like kimchi as being the Korean fermented food, and it is actually their national food, but they have so many other kinds of fermented foods that they infuse throughout the whole cuisine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These foods aren't really viewed as this separate thing. You're not eating kimchi as a little healthful snack for your microbes and then going back to your normal diet. These fermented foods are incorporated into the food culture — they're condiments, sides, flavorings. A meal seems incomplete or unbalanced without them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And that kind of consistency is a healthier, more sustainable way to feed our microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. Generally, the kind of wild fermented foods — like kimchi, sauerkraut, or pickles — tend to have a higher diversity of microbes than your store-bought, probiotic-infused yogurts. Whether each individual strain in these foods is good for us is still unknown, but again, higher diversity tends to be associated with better health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What advice do you have for those wanting to boost the health of their microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's really about creating the right environment for our native microbes, and the best way to do that is by eating a lot of diverse types of fiber for them. I don't think probiotics or seeking out specific fermented foods is bad, of course, but focusing on fiber is a good first step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Copyright 2019 NPR.

In her new book, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/books/titles/697117567/cultured-how-ancient-foods-can-feed-our-microbiome\">\u003cem>Cultured: How Ancient Foods Can Feed Our Microbiome\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, she envisions digestion not as a simple food-in, excrement-out process, but as a series of encounters with varying microbial players that takes place along the winding 30-foot tunnel of our gastrointestinal tract. Along the way, microbes digest the food we can't, and in return we give them a warm, well-stocked place to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a surge in microbiome research over the past two decades has revealed they do much more than simply digest food. They can \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/08/06/635362706/diet-hit-a-snag-your-gut-bacteria-may-be-partly-to-blame\">mediate weight gain\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/04/07/598093165/could-you-fight-off-worms-depends-on-your-gut-microbes\">fight off infection\u003c/a>, and even \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2013/11/18/244526773/gut-bacteria-might-guide-the-workings-of-our-minds\">alter our mood\u003c/a>. Scientists still have much to learn about the identity of these microbes, which are important, and how the beneficial ones work their magic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incomplete understanding hasn't stopped the burgeoning probiotic industry, which argues that we can improve our gut health by taking a pill stuffed with billions of beneficial strains of bacteria, or eating a probiotic-infused yogurt with breakfast. The thinking goes that we just need to eat the right microbes to construct a healthier gut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courage believes this focus on the microbes themselves is myopic. She views the process of digestion as collaborative because the food we put into our bodies affects the kinds of bacteria that live and thrive there. In her book, she explores the science behind how what we feed our microbes affects our health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

From Greenland to Greece, Courage explores the ancient gut-friendly foods that have become integral parts of many food cultures, and offers suggestions on how to diversify the kinds of foods we feed our microbiome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We spoke with Courage about the science behind pro- and prebiotics, and what she learned exploring fermented staples across the world. The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A lot of the buzz around the microbiome has been about the microbes themselves, and what they do for us. You focus much of your book on what they eat, the \" prebiotics\" we feed them. Why?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may be less interesting to talk about fiber than about all these new species we're learning about and infusing into foods, but what we feed our microbes is just as important as what microbes are there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that, from our human perspective, it's helpful to think about microbes in two broad categories. There are microbes that we have in our guts throughout our lives that are adapted for living there, and then there are the microbes we get from food or supplements. Those latter ones just kind of pass through. They can survive the journey, and can certainly provide benefits along the way, but they aren't long-term residents of the gut, and they're not going to have the long-term health impacts that more-permanent residents might have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're starting to learn more about how we can create the conditions for those resident microbes to thrive and potentially benefit us, and a large part of that is what we feed them. And much of what we feed them is fiber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens if we don't feed our microbes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then they start to eat us — our lower intestine, which is only a single human cell thick, which helps us absorb as much as we can from our digested food before we expel it. But it also makes it easy for things to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When our microbes don't get enough fiber, they can start eating away the mucus lining protecting this thin layer, and sometimes the lining can break, which can lead, literally, to leaky gut syndrome, which is associated with many poor health outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When I think of fiber, I think processed, cardboard-like breakfast cereal. Is fiber more diverse than that? How important is having a diverse diet of fiber to cultivating a healthy microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prebiotic fiber is just any kind of carbohydrate that we can't digest ourselves that instead passes through out digestive system as food for microbes. There are many different types of fiber that get broken down by different microbes at different stages of digestion. That's why it's a good idea to eat a wide variety of foods, and not just focus on a particular supplement here and there. Lots of different kinds of fibers help lots of different microbes thrive and create different beneficial compounds for us. Which is good because we're learning that generally, a more diverse microbiome is an indicator of health. If you look at people's guts around the world — and even in the same society — people with more diverse microbiomes tend to be healthier overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some examples of different types of fiber and the foods that carry them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One kind of fiber that's gotten a lot of focus is inulin. We've actually been adding it to foods for longer than we've been looking closely at it, but it's commonly found in foods like chicory root or sunchokes. It's a very long carbohydrate chain, which means it takes a bit longer to pass through our system and get broken down by microbes. Research shows that it encourages growth of \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4908950/\">bifidobacteria\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4045285/\">lactobacteria \u003c/a>[two strains of bacteria commonly associated with health benefits].\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another big one comes from fruits and veggies, called Fructo-oligosaccharides. It's shorter than inulin and adding it to your diet has been shown to reduce markers of inflammation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Galacto-oligosaccharides are another form of fiber found in milk, and are broken down in the colon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was really surprised to learn about resistant starch as another form of fiber. It comes from more simple carbohydrates that have been cooked and then cooled; think of cold potato or pasta salad. So once those starches are crystallized, they become the type of resistant starch that our bodies can't break down anymore [but our microbes can]. Even cold pasta, which you don't necessarily think of as being healthy, can be a great source of resistant starch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do other aspects of our diet besides fiber affect the microbiome?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost everything we eat has some kind of impact on our microbes. One example I talk about in the book is meat. Really kind of fatty meats like pork can have a negative health impact on us via our microbes, because they produce a metabolite called \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5127123/\">TMAO, \u003c/a>which has been linked to negative health outcomes. But fish oil has been shown to be beneficial — the microbes of mice fed fish oil instead of pork lard produced much fewer TMAOs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another exciting area of research is looking at how gene expression in the same microbial strains can change, based on what they're being fed.

Sita Bhaumik, who was eating at Café Ohlone on a recent afternoon, says the food reminds her to think of Indigenous people in the present and future tense, rather than in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A co-founder of the \u003ca href=\"http://peopleskitchencollective.com/\">People’s Kitchen Collective\u003c/a>, Bhaumik teaches a class, “A Taste of Resistance,” at California College of the Arts; Trevino and Medina have spoken to her students about their work. She’s been inspired by the thought-provoking way the two speak about the food they’re serving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In their presentation, [they say that] flavor is really active—you can’t say, ‘This is what Ohlone people were like, if you’re tasting food in your mouth at that moment,” she said. “That is something colonialism has really done over time—to say either, ‘These people don’t exist,’ or ‘They were here,’ in the past tense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Passing Forgotten Traditions to the Younger Generation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere in the Bay Area, Crystal Wahpehpah runs a catering business, \u003ca href=\"http://www.wahpepahskitchen.com/\">Wahpehpah’s Kitchen\u003c/a>, at which she cooks traditional Kickapoo food from her ancestors in Oklahoma.

La Cocina supported her in building her brand, Wahpepah said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she first started, Wahpepah went to the Oakland library to read about Indigenous food. Now she travels all over the country meeting Indigenous chefs and talking about reviving the cuisine. In the fall, Wahpepah appeared at \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/164250057825799/?active_tab=about\">an event\u003c/a> at the Jewish Community Center in San Francisco, “Keeping the Seed,” along with Trevino and Medina, where she served her food and discussed her mission to make people aware of Native American cuisines as a means of cultural preservation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was growing up, I didn’t get to see Indigenous chefs or our food in stores,” Wahpepah said. “I take pride in knowing I’m building the foundation for youth to see our foods all over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wahpepah wants to keep meeting other Indigenous chefs and one day, to have her own restaurant and write a combination cookbook and memoir. Like Medina and Trevino, she wants everyone to know Indigenous people and their culture are still alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eating Indigenous food opens people up to hearing about the culture, Trevino says. “The foods are just inherently delicious—it’s completely inarguable—and as they’re eating these delicious things, and we talk about our truths, they’re extremely receptive,” he said. “They’re walking away with a really strong memory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s true,” Medina added. “How could people who create such delicious foods be lying about anything?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This article originally appeared on \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2019/02/21/indigenous-california-chefs-are-reviving-and-preserving-native-cuisines/\">Civil Eats\u003c/a>.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The next morning, they served acorn flour pancakes with honey, blackberries, and hazelnut butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the cultural loss due to colonization, tasting foods of their tribes meant a lot to participants. “Whether an elder or a young person, when they ate the acorn for the first time, there was this look people had: of feeling proud, of being able to eat that and to know it was something familiar, even if it was their first taste of it,” Medina said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132678\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign.jpg\" alt=\"A sign at Café Ohlone by Mak’amham reads “Ohlone Land”\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1045\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132678\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-160x139.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-800x697.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-768x669.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/190222-cafe-ohlone-indigenous-foods-chefs-sign-1020x888.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign at Café Ohlone by Mak’amham reads “Ohlone Land” \u003ccite>(Emily Wilson)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The goal, he added, was to “center the work on returning our food and our culture back to ourselves and our families and recognize the sacrifices of people before us” with the eventual hope of “making sure the future is brighter for [Ohlone] people to come.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Dispelling Stereotypes with Conversation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trevino and Medina forage in the hills of the East Bay for ingredients for their café—gathering herbs, seeds, and tea in the same place Medina’s ancestors did.

He took over the former Clare’s Deli and opened Turner’s in its place in 2016, keeping Clare’s beloved French Dip on the menu (and fortunately keeping Bryce and Javier in the kitchen!). But the rest of the ever-evolving menu reveals his culinary background (he cooked at Zuni for seven years) and a love of seasonal vegetables, trips to the farmers’ market, making housemade sauces, and more.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you follow \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/turnerskitchensf/\">@turnerskitchensf\u003c/a> on Instagram, you’ll constantly see some of the most delicious-looking (and sounding) combinations he makes for the daily specials, like roasted eggplant, melted Fontina cheese, red sauce, and basil pesto on a toasted ciabatta roll. Or you get some storytelling: “Sandwich special inspired by singing karaoke in Korea Town and eating pierogi at Veselka around 3am in NY. Roast turkey, Munster cheese, wild arugula, house apple sauce (four types of apples, lots of butter, a little cinnamon, cider vinegar), sour cream, roasted garlic and fresh dill on sliced sourdough.” He even suggests chip and drink pairings in his posts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132660\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132660\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/turners-sandwich-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Liberty Bell special, a California spin on a Philly cheesesteak. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Turner’s is known for their hot pastrami specials: the one pictured here was inspired by Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwiches, but with a little California influence: hot pastrami, melted Havarti (Swiss pictured here), roasted Brussels sprouts (in pastrami fat), sautéed sweet peppers, and lots of caramelized onions.

From a meatless Monday–inspired Indian wrap, to this one: quinoa, roasted sweet potato purée, sautéed sweet peppers, roasted cauliflower, arugula, Gorgonzola, and house buffalo sauce in a spinach wrap — nope, vegetarians, vegans, and healthy eaters do not miss out here. I loved my Dorothy Gene special: avocado, fresh ricotta, roasted sweet potato purée, arugula, poblano peppers, sunflower seeds, fresh lime, and olive oil in a spinach wrap ($10). I just threw in a little piri-piri sauce at home to spike it up, because that’s how I roll. They also do some great soups, and there is always one that is vegetarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winners on their daily menu include the Mission Fig (applewood smoked ham, roast turkey, melted Swiss, arugula, cucumber, and fig-caramelized onion jam on sliced sourdough) and their Gobbler, which comes with smoked turkey, cranberry sauce, mustard-sage stuffing, and melted Brie. $12 for some mighty stellar sandwiches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple things to note: there are a few tables and counters (it’s a tiny spot), but you can always eat your sandwich in the 500 Club next door (and they’ll even deliver it to your bar stool!). Turner’s also just switched over to credit cards only, but you can buy a gift card for $20.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Two Mardi Gras Parties Where the Good Times Will Definitely Roll (and Are Unlimited)\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://albarays.com/\">Alba Ray's\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/u4KfLRMA6Hq\">2293 Mission St, San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTuesday, March 5\u003cbr>\n6pm–11pm\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fat-tuesday-at-alba-rays-tickets-56765335647\">Tickets\u003c/a>: $85\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://albarays.com/bottomless-brunch\">Brunch\u003c/a> Sat–Sun; seatings 10am–2:30pm\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132663\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132663\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/Fat-Tuesday_credit-Charlene-Fernandez-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alba Ray's will be celebrating Mardi Gras at brunch for the entire month of March. \u003ccite>(Charlene Fernandez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>San Francisco may be far from New Orleans, but our love of good food and parties means we don’t like to miss out on any Mardi Gras festivities.

He took over the former Clare’s Deli and opened Turner’s in its place in 2016, keeping Clare’s beloved French Dip on the menu (and fortunately keeping Bryce and Javier in the kitchen!). But the rest of the ever-evolving menu reveals his culinary background (he cooked at Zuni for seven years) and a love of seasonal vegetables, trips to the farmers’ market, making housemade sauces, and more.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you follow \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/turnerskitchensf/\">@turnerskitchensf\u003c/a> on Instagram, you’ll constantly see some of the most delicious-looking (and sounding) combinations he makes for the daily specials, like roasted eggplant, melted Fontina cheese, red sauce, and basil pesto on a toasted ciabatta roll. Or you get some storytelling: “Sandwich special inspired by singing karaoke in Korea Town and eating pierogi at Veselka around 3am in NY. Roast turkey, Munster cheese, wild arugula, house apple sauce (four types of apples, lots of butter, a little cinnamon, cider vinegar), sour cream, roasted garlic and fresh dill on sliced sourdough.” He even suggests chip and drink pairings in his posts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132660\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132660\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/turners-sandwich-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Liberty Bell special, a California spin on a Philly cheesesteak. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Turner’s is known for their hot pastrami specials: the one pictured here was inspired by Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwiches, but with a little California influence: hot pastrami, melted Havarti (Swiss pictured here), roasted Brussels sprouts (in pastrami fat), sautéed sweet peppers, and lots of caramelized onions. I got there too late in the afternoon to have it on Dutch crunch, but my French roll from Panorama was fresh and held it all together.

From a meatless Monday–inspired Indian wrap, to this one: quinoa, roasted sweet potato purée, sautéed sweet peppers, roasted cauliflower, arugula, Gorgonzola, and house buffalo sauce in a spinach wrap — nope, vegetarians, vegans, and healthy eaters do not miss out here. I loved my Dorothy Gene special: avocado, fresh ricotta, roasted sweet potato purée, arugula, poblano peppers, sunflower seeds, fresh lime, and olive oil in a spinach wrap ($10). I just threw in a little piri-piri sauce at home to spike it up, because that’s how I roll. They also do some great soups, and there is always one that is vegetarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winners on their daily menu include the Mission Fig (applewood smoked ham, roast turkey, melted Swiss, arugula, cucumber, and fig-caramelized onion jam on sliced sourdough) and their Gobbler, which comes with smoked turkey, cranberry sauce, mustard-sage stuffing, and melted Brie. $12 for some mighty stellar sandwiches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple things to note: there are a few tables and counters (it’s a tiny spot), but you can always eat your sandwich in the 500 Club next door (and they’ll even deliver it to your bar stool!). Turner’s also just switched over to credit cards only, but you can buy a gift card for $20.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Two Mardi Gras Parties Where the Good Times Will Definitely Roll (and Are Unlimited)\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://albarays.com/\">Alba Ray's\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/u4KfLRMA6Hq\">2293 Mission St, San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTuesday, March 5\u003cbr>\n6pm–11pm\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fat-tuesday-at-alba-rays-tickets-56765335647\">Tickets\u003c/a>: $85\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://albarays.com/bottomless-brunch\">Brunch\u003c/a> Sat–Sun; seatings 10am–2:30pm\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132663\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132663\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/Fat-Tuesday_credit-Charlene-Fernandez-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alba Ray's will be celebrating Mardi Gras at brunch for the entire month of March. \u003ccite>(Charlene Fernandez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>San Francisco may be far from New Orleans, but our love of good food and parties means we don’t like to miss out on any Mardi Gras festivities.

This isn't buttoned-up fine dining; casual and family-friendly, the servers wear T-shirts and the staff is so nice it's as if they spike the air with tequila. Loud Mexican music emanates from the speakers, but even that gets drowned out by lively conversations between diners. A dinner bell that hangs from the open kitchen is rung periodically and frivolously, simply because it's fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pink-walled restaurant has the look of a traditional taqueria, but this is Napa Valley, so it's rustic-chic, not a dive. Much of the decor was handpicked from Mexico, down to the hand-blown glassware and mismatched wooden chairs. A hand-painted mural brightens the bar area that seats 14; the bar top has a unique copper penny tiling. A large outdoor patio is set to flourish post-winter but for now, 86 seats fill the dining room and there's been a line out the door each night since the place opened at the start of the new year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132641\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132641\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/980x-5.jpg\" alt=\"La Calenda serves up a handful of large plates, like Puerco en Mole Verde.\" width=\"980\" height=\"1470\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/980x-5.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/980x-5-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/980x-5-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/980x-5-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">La Calenda serves up a handful of large plates, like Puerco en Mole Verde. \u003ccite>(David Escalante)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At the heart of the restaurant is a large open kitchen.

The idea of working for the decorated chef, let alone heading up one of his restaurants, was a mere pipe dream for the 26-year-old, who grew up in Oaxaca. His mother Susana Trilling, a celebrity chef in her own right, founded the renowned Seasons of My Heart Cooking School in Oaxaca and Trilling draws inspiration from several of her recipes, like the much talked about mole negro, an arduous, three-day process that utilizes roughly 30 ingredients and five types of chiles. \"When I make mole here and taste it, I close my eyes and it brings me back to my childhood every time,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most challenging part of the gig has been adapting Mexican cooking techniques to America's health department standards.

This isn't buttoned-up fine dining; casual and family-friendly, the servers wear T-shirts and the staff is so nice it's as if they spike the air with tequila. Loud Mexican music emanates from the speakers, but even that gets drowned out by lively conversations between diners. A dinner bell that hangs from the open kitchen is rung periodically and frivolously, simply because it's fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pink-walled restaurant has the look of a traditional taqueria, but this is Napa Valley, so it's rustic-chic, not a dive. Much of the decor was handpicked from Mexico, down to the hand-blown glassware and mismatched wooden chairs.

As staff prepare for a large dinner crowd, the chef strides through the restaurant's narrow back hallways, where the scent of roasted chicken wafts over dishwasher steam and clanking cookware. His gravelly speech is peppered with curse words, and he's quick to make adjustments to a tray of hors d'oeuvres or a specialty cocktail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even when it's busy, he says the servers, cooks and bartenders treat each other like family. And as \"captain of the pirate ship,\" as he calls himself, he says it's his job to make sure they're staying afloat in the chaos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chef has made a name for himself on the local and national culinary scenes, both for his widely praised\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lev82jMRXSQ\"> farm-to-fork\u003c/a> menus and for his leadership on causes such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.sactownmag.com/February-March-2016/Kitchen-Influential/\">homelessness\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacmag.com/2009/10/26/feasting-for-weave/\">domestic violence\u003c/a>. Now, he's channeling some of his energy into suicide prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mulvaney lost a longtime friend, 41-year-old local chef \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/food-drink/restaurants/article211918844.html\">Noah Zonca\u003c/a>, in May.
