Commercials are already out for Thanksgiving and Christmas but don't forget about one of the finest \"holidays\" we celebrate at this time of year where gorging on sweets is okay (again, sort of)! Whether you're curled up on your couch watching Hocus Pocus, taking the kids door to door to fill their pillowcases with sugar, or attending your friend's rowdy Halloween party, the right kind of food can make the occasion a little happier. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucky for you, we found five boo-tiful treats for anyone who loves Halloween...or themed foods!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Garden Creamery’s Trick or Treat Ice Cream\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/Fra5DK4EXgG2\">3566 20th St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA\u003cbr>\n94110\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131044\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00643-e1540412228177.jpg\" alt=\"From the bottom: Pumpkin, Trick or Treat, Caramel Apple ice cream scoops and a drizzle of caramel.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\" class=\"size-full wp-image-131044\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">From the bottom: Pumpkin, Trick or Treat, Caramel Apple ice cream scoops and a drizzle of caramel. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://gardencreamery.com/home/\">Garden Creamery\u003c/a> co-owners Erin Lang and Donny Capozzi are known for their Asian-inspired small batch ice cream, but their menu of fall flavors will make you think of pumpkin patches, fireside apple cider, and crunchy leaves under your feet. They go to the farmers market every Thursday at Civic Center and Marin to pick up fresh, local ingredients for their ice cream and the new batch of flavors reflect that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garden Creamery uses real pumpkin in this tasty flavor, specifically pumpkin from Feather River Farms. The squash is chopped up and sauteed with their homemade pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh ginger, cloves, etc.) that they chop and grind themselves to create a rich, creamy and pumpkin-y ice cream that beats any Pumpkin Spice Latte I’ve ever had. The second fall flavor, a Caramel Apple, is just as reminiscent of fall as the Pumpkin flavor, and it’s also a labor of love. Whole apples picked from the farmers market are cored, marinated in sugar (skins are left on) and cooked down with lemons. “It takes a really long time, but we wanted a whole base that was apple instead of just throwing apple jam into something,” explains Erin. And the final result is a creamy, strong apple flavor — almost like frozen applesauce with sweet hints of caramel swirled in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, for a Halloween treat that will really make you nostalgic for those East Coast autumns (if you’ve experienced them before), the Trick or Treat ice cream is chock-full of candy and something Garden Creamery thinks everyone will enjoy! A sweet cream base is made with organic Strauss milk, and mixed in are chopped up full-sized bars of all of Erin and Donny’s favorite candies: Reese’s, Kit Kats, M&Ms, Hersheys with almonds, etc. As co-owner Donny says, “It’s a treat! When you’re a kid and you go trick or treating, you were so excited to get a full candy bar — we wanted to use full candy bars in our ice cream to bring that nostalgia from when you’re a little kid back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their pumpkin and caramel apple flavors were released at the beginning of October, and, by the time you read this article, their special Halloween flavor will be available too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Bluestem Brasserie’s Spooky Delight Plate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/K55wBJX7mXu\">1 Yuerba Buena Lane\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA\u003cbr>\n94103\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131035\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00658-e1540242287134.jpg\" alt=\"Bluestem Brasserie’s Spooky Delight Plate.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-131035\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bluestem Brasserie’s Spooky Delight Plate. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bluestembrasserie.com/\">Bluestem Brasserie\u003c/a>'s pastry chef, Lori Baker, tells us, \"We wanted to create something really fun for Halloween this year, and who doesn't love Halloween candy?

Commercials are already out for Thanksgiving and Christmas but don't forget about one of the finest \"holidays\" we celebrate at this time of year where gorging on sweets is okay (again, sort of)! Whether you're curled up on your couch watching Hocus Pocus, taking the kids door to door to fill their pillowcases with sugar, or attending your friend's rowdy Halloween party, the right kind of food can make the occasion a little happier. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucky for you, we found five boo-tiful treats for anyone who loves Halloween...or themed foods!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Garden Creamery’s Trick or Treat Ice Cream\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/Fra5DK4EXgG2\">3566 20th St.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA\u003cbr>\n94110\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131044\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00643-e1540412228177.jpg\" alt=\"From the bottom: Pumpkin, Trick or Treat, Caramel Apple ice cream scoops and a drizzle of caramel.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\" class=\"size-full wp-image-131044\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">From the bottom: Pumpkin, Trick or Treat, Caramel Apple ice cream scoops and a drizzle of caramel. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://gardencreamery.com/home/\">Garden Creamery\u003c/a> co-owners Erin Lang and Donny Capozzi are known for their Asian-inspired small batch ice cream, but their menu of fall flavors will make you think of pumpkin patches, fireside apple cider, and crunchy leaves under your feet. They go to the farmers market every Thursday at Civic Center and Marin to pick up fresh, local ingredients for their ice cream and the new batch of flavors reflect that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garden Creamery uses real pumpkin in this tasty flavor, specifically pumpkin from Feather River Farms. The squash is chopped up and sauteed with their homemade pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh ginger, cloves, etc.) that they chop and grind themselves to create a rich, creamy and pumpkin-y ice cream that beats any Pumpkin Spice Latte I’ve ever had. The second fall flavor, a Caramel Apple, is just as reminiscent of fall as the Pumpkin flavor, and it’s also a labor of love. Whole apples picked from the farmers market are cored, marinated in sugar (skins are left on) and cooked down with lemons. “It takes a really long time, but we wanted a whole base that was apple instead of just throwing apple jam into something,” explains Erin. And the final result is a creamy, strong apple flavor — almost like frozen applesauce with sweet hints of caramel swirled in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Their banter mixes with Caribbean music playing in the background.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.lagranviabakery.com/\">La Gran Via Bakery\u003c/a> is an institution in this neighborhood. It's been around since 1978 — three generations of pastry chefs making cakes, cupcakes and traditional Latin American pastries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which is why, when co-owner Betsy Leyva was recently pitched the idea of creating a hamburger restaurant on the side, she balked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was like, are you crazy? What do you mean? What are you talking about?\" she says. Uber, the ride-sharing company, was suggesting she create a \"virtual restaurant\" — one that only exists online, and delivers through Uber Eats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are now about 800 such virtual restaurants in the U.S., often created when enough customers look through the Uber Eats app for a certain type of food in their area that they can't find.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we see people searching for something but not finding it, that signals to us that there's an opportunity and there's unmet demand,\" says Elyse Propis, who leads Uber Eats' virtual restaurant initiative across North America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the company approaches an eatery and suggests creating a virtual side restaurant, with those dishes people are craving but can't get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber says doing this helps restaurants grow their business and cater better to customers. But there are mixed feelings in the industry about whether these virtual restaurants are a good thing. While they can boost business, Uber takes a cut of their profits. Plus, delivery fees raise the cost for customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leyva, has nothing but praise for Uber Eats. In the end it was her brother, the bakery's co-owner, who convinced her to give it a try. And that's how, the online restaurant \u003ca href=\"https://www.ubereats.com/en-US/new-york/food-delivery/brooklyn-burger-house/Fo-jbwLBT-a6QRNaxe_eiw/\">Brooklyn Burger House\u003c/a> was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has a mouthwatering online menu, but in real life there's not much to it: just a grill, inconspicuously tucked in a corner behind the pastry counter, where meat and cheesesteaks sizzle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leyva says that on Brooklyn Burger's opening week, she thought she'd go crazy. The demand was so high, she was constantly running out of ingredients. It hasn't died down — she had to hire additional staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The restaurant might be virtual, but the profits are very real: \"We've increased our sales by about 30 percent. So it's very exciting,\" Leyva says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniela Galarza, a senior editor of \u003ca href=\"https://www.eater.com/\">Eater Magazine\u003c/a>, says that as millennials get older, they're turning to time-saving services like Uber Eats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're starting to have children. They need things that are convenient, that are easy for them. And dining out isn't always easy with young children,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter an array of ordering platforms like Seamless and Grubhub. Galarza explains that in the restaurant business, delivery has always been a headache.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have to pay somebody, they have to figure out if they need to insure them,\" she says. \"They have to figure out the delivery distance.

"content": "\u003cp>It takes less than minute after entering to understand that Prairie is neither your typical Italian restaurant, nor your typical restaurant in general. The opening item on the food menu is — mochi. Yes, \u003ci>mochi\u003c/i>. Meanwhile, upon noticing that curveball, the host or hostess will inform you that the ordering process is done with the pencil on the table and accompanying ordering card with each menu item listed in abbreviated form. Then you just simply put the card in a slot at the edge of the table and a server will swing by to pick it up. It’s a checklist style of selecting the course of action for your meal, resembling how many yakitori or dim sum establishments ask for diners to order. Via this method, the generally long, rambling ordering ordeal of diners muttering “we’ll have the halibut, wait, no, the steak, or actually we can’t decide; hold on” is eliminated. The fuss is gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sets the tone for the debut solo brick-and-mortar restaurant from Anthony Strong, one of San Francisco’s leading authorities on Italian cooking — an Iowa-born, Le Bernardin (New York) and Delfina-trained chef who isn’t one to follow the hard-and-fast rules of a particular cuisine or the customs of fine dining at the Mission’s newly opened \u003ca href=\"http://prairiesf.com/\">Prairie\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Take the fussiness out of it” is something that you’ll hear Strong say again and again, whether he is referring to fine dining food or fine dining service. He wants everyone to dig in, pour the wine and just get lost in the moment. In a city where every restaurant is constantly under the “everyone thinks they are a critic” spotlight, why not have diners, you know, actually just dine and drink and talk?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, that mochi gets wrapped in guanciale, then nestled in a radicchio leaf, and drizzled with some thick, aged balsamic vinegar for a $4 two-bite wallop that sends a Japanese izakaya standard (bacon-wrapped mochi) to the hills of Emilia Romagna. Elsewhere, a full pound of Salt Springs mussels is steamed with Prosecco and…nasturtium butter ($23), a fascinating use for a plant that is better known as a finishing flower garnish to the highest of high-end cuisine plates. Strong isn’t interested in how many likes your Instagram photos of his dishes will garner. He doesn’t even own tweezers for Prairie’s kitchen. He happily told us, “there are no flowers, swooshes and dots on our plates.” Instead of looking at the pretty flowers, he “smashes” them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strong is a disruptor. He doesn’t want this to be another Italian restaurant in a city full of Cal-Ital highlights. Each one is a bit different,so where does Prairie fall on the spectrum? The restaurant describes itself as “New-School Italian” which is really a way of saying a cuisine that is rooted in classic Italian and then lets its hair down. As Strong puts it, for some dishes, “We’re just going to get straight to the damn point and do straight-up Italian food. And then in other things, we’re going all over the place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131186\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-131186 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-800x1123.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1123\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-800x1123.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-160x225.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-768x1078.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753.jpg 855w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-240x337.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-375x526.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-520x730.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef/owner Anthony Strong. Photo courtesy of Prairie.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The guanciale-wrapped mochi and mussels are great examples of what this relentlessly forward-thinking chef is designing in the kitchen. Strong opens the food menu with a half-dozen antipasti, including the guanciale mochi, all of which are a world away from red sauce joints. As a nod to autumn, Fuyu persimmons partner with Urfa pepper (most commonly seen in Turkish or Arab cuisines) and pine nut miso ($8). Castelvetrano olives are dusted with a spicy Meyer lemon kosho ($7) — Italy, northern California and Japan all in one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, bread plays a huge part in other starting options but aren’t your normal crostini-based antipasti. “Pane Distrutto” is a must-order giant crouton-like specimen that looks like a meatball after being soaked with olive oil, then sops up a pile of Early Girl tomato pulp for a relentlessly delicious and different take on bruschetta. Like the mochi, it’s $4 apiece and the majority of diners aren’t going to want to share the few bites of it. “Carta di musica,” a thin, crackery Mediterranean flatbread, comes with salt cod \u003ci>gratinita\u003c/i> and Senise peppers ($16) in a nod to the French white fish and potato classic gratin/thick spread, Brandade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131012\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131012\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00573-e1540238846167.jpg\" alt=\"Strong’s burrata preparation served with grilled levain, inspired by sour cream and onion dip.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strong’s burrata preparation served with grilled levain, inspired by sour cream and onion dip. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Switching from France to an American football tailgate favorite, sour cream and onion dip is the inspiration for Strong’s burrata preparation served with grilled levain ($14). Strong considers burrata a near “perfect food” and wanted to think outside the burrata ball beyond just topping the cheese with a garnish or two like is the customary preparation. To tweak but not disturb such a fantastic original ingredient, the chef incorporates crème fraiche, folds them together with deeply cooked spring onions accented by lemon zest, and all together achieves the smooth-meets-chunky consistency of cottage cheese curds with the plush richness of burrata.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another one of the many additional ways that he is changing up the restaurant status quo is service. As mentioned earlier, ordering is done by hand. Just check off the items that you’d like. Of course, servers are on hand to explain the difference between obscure Italian regions on the wine list (most wines are from Italy but the roster is always open to a few California or other European exceptions) or answer what “Pane Distrutto” even means (answer: destroyed bread). There is no robot making the pasta or tablets to order on or servers hawking small plates from carts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131011\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131011\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00539-e1540238752262.jpg\" alt=\"An ordering menu at Prairie.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An ordering menu at Prairie. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All of this comes not because Strong is anti-fine dining. He fully acknowledges that there is a time and place for all-encompassing special fine dining, like at some of Prairie’s neighbors (Lazy Bear is across the street and Californios is three blocks away). But, that is just not what he wanted to do with his own restaurant. Strong is just as much an entrepreneur trying to solve problems in his industry, as he is a restaurateur. Prairie is one of the few San Francisco restaurants to not accept tips, instead adding an 18% service charge to be shared by front and back of house staff in a democratic way that tips can’t provide. Strong isn’t one to attach formal titles to himself, but if he did, it would be something along the lines of Chef/Owner/General Manager/Cocktail Creator/Décor Designer/Carpenter/Doer of All Sorts of Random Tasks That Your Restaurant Needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it can seem striking at first to diners who are new to Strong, his desire to lightly shake things up is something that makes complete sense dating back to before he played in his high school band that is one of the namesakes for the restaurant. The restaurant’s other namesake also is, of course, where Strong grew up and his road to San Francisco’s Prairie began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, technically, he pointed out to us, he didn’t grow up ON the prairie. Strong is from eastern Iowa near the Mississippi River, where the “prairie ends and the bluffs drop down to the river.” There wasn’t much of a food culture there beyond “lots of corn and all sorts of livestock,” but there was lots of gardening and farming involved in his youth, with prominent produce in Iowa that even the most food-obsessed San Franciscan covets like morel mushrooms, ramps and fiddlehead ferns. As a hyper-energetic kid who loved the contrast of the manure smell of a garden to the beauty of a perfectly ripe tomato, and a kid who admittedly “geeked out” on first wave TV cooking shows by the likes of Martin Yan, the cards were set for Strong to be a chef.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131018\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131018\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00550-e1540239708521.jpg\" alt=\"Strong in Prairie's kitchen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strong in Prairie's kitchen. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>His teenage years were spent in Minneapolis and there he transitioned from “basically being an honor student to skipping school to go work at one of his two restaurant jobs” because he thought, as his eyes widened when telling us recently about his adolescent self, “knives are cooler!” Strong continued: “I thought it was the coolest thing ever…I’ve always been a little nerdy, so hiding in a corner and playing with sharp sticks and fire and making stuff look and taste cool was right up my alley.” It \u003ci>seemed\u003c/i> like the perfect future for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On his first day of being elevated from a dishwasher and busboy to a kitchen role, Strong completely bombed in a Lucille Ball at the doughnut factory-type of comedy of errors. Another more experienced chef told him in a not-so confidence boosting way that day, “Dude, you are horrible at this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Somehow that did boost his confidence and Strong bypassed college for the Eric Ripert School of Cooking, getting the lowest level kitchen position at Le Bernardin and moving to New York at the age of 19. It was extremely difficult work at extremely low pay, but his drive to rise in the kitchen led him to soak up everything that legendary fine dining establishment could provide him. In 2006, it was time to pack up and head west, though, where Strong admits that he essentially “blew his last 80 bucks at Delfina.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may not have been the most fiscally prudent decision, yet it did prove to be a game-changing professional move as he asked for a job with Delfina’s chef and co-owner, Craig Stoll. He traded in Le Bernardin’s “live uni and expensive caviar” for the spaghetti and roast chicken at Delfina, along with California’s bounty of local ingredients. He remembers upon leaving New York, “Then I came out here and had sand dabs and anchovies for the first time, and it was like, ‘What are these lowly creatures that are so amazing?’ I just fell in love with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For 11 years, Strong grew from the beginning stage at the 18th Street modern SF classic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He dove headfirst into each of the Delfina establishments and was never afraid of shaking things up, something that obviously is reflected by Prairie. When Strong figured that time was up in the Delfina sphere, he knew that he wanted to “think outside the Italian box” and he “didn’t want to do anything normal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131019\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131019\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00583-e1540239878808.jpg\" alt=\"When Strong figured that time was up in the Delfina sphere, he knew that he wanted to “think outside the Italian box” and he “didn’t want to do anything normal.”\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">When Strong figured that time was up in the Delfina sphere, he knew that he wanted to “think outside the Italian box” and he “didn’t want to do anything normal.” \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That is how Strong ended up creating a restaurant without a home…or a truck…or a pop-up space…or any chairs for diners. He would share the kitchen at the Tenderloin’s Vietnamese stalwart, Turtle Tower, and create whatever he felt like cooking and sell it on the various meal delivery apps under the faux restaurant title of “Young Fava,” a nickname given by a pair of former Pizzeria Delfina chefs (one is now the sous chef at Prairie) to him while frying fava beans and as a nod to a generation of rappers who called themselves “Young” something (Young Jeezy, Young Money).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether Strong has a future in rapping or not — and probably not — he knew that he had to cook for real people in a sit-down room again. However, for that restaurant, Strong decided, “We’re not going to be an Italian restaurant with a three syllable name and I didn’t want an Italian restaurant with a three syllable name and I’m going to try to mess with service model a bit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prairie eventually emerged for Strong in the former Hog and Rocks space. He inherited a compact 2300-square feet restaurant where roughly 30 percent of the real estate is devoted to kitchen space. Four chefs are stationed in that area with one devoted to pasta and one devoted to Prairie’s tour de force mesquite charcoal-fueled grill duo. One is a Josper grill that hails from Spain and one is a Texan & Woodshow Broiler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two grills are responsible for half the menu, ranging from a beautiful octopus sprawled out over seemingly a quarter-pound of fregola ($28) to charred Corno di Toro peppers ($9; like roasted marinated red peppers) that achieve the über-intense smokiness of mezcal to marrow bones ($22) that can later function as a good times igniting sherry shot “luge” depending if guests so desire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131014\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131014\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00567-e1540239142272.jpg\" alt=\"Rice cakes cooked with multi types of game fowl ragu.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rice cakes cooked with multi types of game fowl ragu. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The oven’s bread and butter, if you will, are without question the meats. That was the case at Locanda after several Rome trips when Strong fell in love with the deep-flavored, flame-blistered meats at the likes of decades-old heavyweights in the Eternal City like Al Ceppo. That spirit follows to Prairie except in the globetrotting form of a half rack of Berkshire pork ribs with Calabrian XO rub ($25); thin-cut beef short ribs with a tea leaf salsa verde ($28); and lamb blade chops ($27), a lamb cut that is rarely seen on Bay Area menus. Strong describes it as, “Where the rib meets and the shoulder starts you get these cross-sections of all the fun stuff going on. It’s not like a cute little lamb chop and a little loin piece. It’s all this fun stuff. Fatty and texturally, it’s amazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then pivoting to the next-door primi station in Prairie’s kitchen, you really know this isn’t a North Beach trattoria when there are rice cakes on the pasta section of the menu. Strong loves rice cakes and sources them from Santa Clara, grills the stacks, then slices them and cooks them in bright, fragrant multi types of game fowl ragu. For the opening week, the rice cakes were paired with a Chanterelle mushroom sugo ($17). Elsewhere in the pasta sector, pappardelle might go the hearty beef route with beef cheeks “butcher’s wife style” ($18) or be bursting-at-the-seams Gulf shrimp and burrata tortelli in a slightly Szechuan evoking triple chili “action” and celery soffritto ($19).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131016\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131016\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00578-e1540239459582.jpg\" alt=\"Strong mans the bar to show us his fresh take on the Italian Greyhound.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strong mans the bar to show us his fresh take on the Italian Greyhound. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now, the cocktails, also designed by Strong. You’ll cringe when you hear about the Prairie Sour (all cocktails $13), but it’s an ode to a childhood school bus memory of Templeton rye (an Iowa based spirit and a nod to how the bus driver always smelled like bourbon), egg white (a fellow student always reeked of the eggs from his apparently recently eaten breakfast), and Sapling maple liqueur from his own maple syrup-soaked breakfast. And, there you have a whiskey sour via an Iowa school bus ride, folks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another cocktail borrows from Strong’s later research years visiting Italy. Outside of basic Negronis and \u003ci>appertivi\u003c/i>, he was frustrated by the lack of cocktails. However, all of the corner bars knew who to do fresh juices for the morning, so he convinced one to work on fresh grapefruit juice for an unknown-in-Italy classic American cocktail: the Greyhound. So, an “ultra-fresh” on the spot juiced grapefruit-forward Italian Greyhound with Cappelletti and Bruto Americano sweet-herbal liqueurs is served at Prairie. You’ll also find a Kombucha Bellini ($12); a sparkling Negroni (not a Sbagliato but an intense soda water-powered, on tap version of the classic); and gorgeously balanced and fizzy Suntory Toki whiskey highballs, made on one of the few Suntory Toki carbonation machines in America, are among the other cocktail offerings. For beer, there are five northern California taps and eight rare Japanese beers by the bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131017\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131017\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00585-e1540239578142.jpg\" alt=\"Strong's on the spot juiced grapefruit-forward Italian Greyhound with Cappelletti and Bruto Americano.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strong's on the spot juiced grapefruit-forward Italian Greyhound with Cappelletti and Bruto Americano. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Former guests of Hog & Rocks will recognize the bones of the space and rough shape of the restaurant — the dining room half is by the door and the bar half is on the opposite side of the room. Except, now the walls have been covered in ash wood panels dyed indigo by a traditional Japanese treatment style called “Aizome.” Hog & Rocks’ old communal table has been separated into some high-top tables in the bar area. Half of Hog & Rocks’ old bar was cut away and is now part of Prairie’s bar backdrop. Meanwhile, Prairie’s bar is now smaller and is now a backward L–shape, offering eight seats for guests. There are a total of 70 seats combined inside and outside at a handful of sidewalk tables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you’d expect with a restaurant that looks to change things up, you’ll find quirky objects throughout the room that follow the fun, slightly freewheeling ethos of Prairie. Strong’s girlfriend allowed Strong to add her glass bok choy sculpture and her “Not-A-Flamethrower” Flamethrower from Elon Musk’s Boring Company as decorative objects on the bar backdrop. Then there are the most talked-about, slightly bizarre art items from the dining room walls: NASA theoretical space colony renderings from the 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131025\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131025\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00535-e1540240419517.jpg\" alt=\"Strong’s girlfriend allowed Strong to add her glass bok choy sculpture and her “Not-A-Flamethrower” Flamethrower from Elon Musk’s Boring Company as decorative objects on the bar backdrop.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strong’s girlfriend allowed Strong to add her glass bok choy sculpture and her “Not-A-Flamethrower” Flamethrower from Elon Musk’s Boring Company as decorative objects on the bar backdrop. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There is no pastry chef, but that doesn’t hold Strong back from crafting some cuisine-bending desserts nightly, like chocolate budino or warm chocolate “baba” (like a cross of fluffy cake with a thin frosting layer and bread pudding) infused with Earl Grey or trying to solve the cheesecake conundrum via a sheep’s milk yogurt crostata on a cinnamon and rye graham cracker crust, finished with syrup-enriched kumquats. Strong admits, “I’m very disappointed in about 99% of the cheesecakes out there” and he certainly isn’t alone in that regard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man is relentless. He wants to solve cheesecake. He wants to fix fine dining’s faults on the menu and in the dining room. He’s loosening the rules of Italian cooking. He’s the rare independent chef these days who has entered the big stage of primetime San Francisco dining without being a spin-off of a successful existing restaurant group or starting out fast-casual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hasn’t been afraid to try anything in his culinary career, from screwing up egg salad on day one to pairing mochi with guanciale today. That is why Strong is such a important character in the restaurant industry and why Prairie is one of the Bay Area’s most compelling restaurants in recent memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.prairiesf.com\">Prairie\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n3431 19th St.\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA\u003cbr>\n94110\u003cbr>\n415-483-1112\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/prairiesf/\">Facebook\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/prairiesf/?hl=en\">Instagram\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nHours: Dinner Tuesday-Sunday 5:30PM-10PM (until 11PM Friday and Saturday).

The opening item on the food menu is — mochi. Yes, \u003ci>mochi\u003c/i>. Meanwhile, upon noticing that curveball, the host or hostess will inform you that the ordering process is done with the pencil on the table and accompanying ordering card with each menu item listed in abbreviated form. Then you just simply put the card in a slot at the edge of the table and a server will swing by to pick it up. It’s a checklist style of selecting the course of action for your meal, resembling how many yakitori or dim sum establishments ask for diners to order. Via this method, the generally long, rambling ordering ordeal of diners muttering “we’ll have the halibut, wait, no, the steak, or actually we can’t decide; hold on” is eliminated. The fuss is gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sets the tone for the debut solo brick-and-mortar restaurant from Anthony Strong, one of San Francisco’s leading authorities on Italian cooking — an Iowa-born, Le Bernardin (New York) and Delfina-trained chef who isn’t one to follow the hard-and-fast rules of a particular cuisine or the customs of fine dining at the Mission’s newly opened \u003ca href=\"http://prairiesf.com/\">Prairie\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Take the fussiness out of it” is something that you’ll hear Strong say again and again, whether he is referring to fine dining food or fine dining service. He wants everyone to dig in, pour the wine and just get lost in the moment. In a city where every restaurant is constantly under the “everyone thinks they are a critic” spotlight, why not have diners, you know, actually just dine and drink and talk?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, that mochi gets wrapped in guanciale, then nestled in a radicchio leaf, and drizzled with some thick, aged balsamic vinegar for a $4 two-bite wallop that sends a Japanese izakaya standard (bacon-wrapped mochi) to the hills of Emilia Romagna. Elsewhere, a full pound of Salt Springs mussels is steamed with Prosecco and…nasturtium butter ($23), a fascinating use for a plant that is better known as a finishing flower garnish to the highest of high-end cuisine plates. Strong isn’t interested in how many likes your Instagram photos of his dishes will garner. He doesn’t even own tweezers for Prairie’s kitchen. He happily told us, “there are no flowers, swooshes and dots on our plates.” Instead of looking at the pretty flowers, he “smashes” them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strong is a disruptor. He doesn’t want this to be another Italian restaurant in a city full of Cal-Ital highlights. Each one is a bit different,so where does Prairie fall on the spectrum? The restaurant describes itself as “New-School Italian” which is really a way of saying a cuisine that is rooted in classic Italian and then lets its hair down. As Strong puts it, for some dishes, “We’re just going to get straight to the damn point and do straight-up Italian food. And then in other things, we’re going all over the place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131186\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-131186 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-800x1123.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1123\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-800x1123.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-160x225.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-768x1078.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753.jpg 855w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-240x337.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-375x526.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/20181003_AS-hat-front_43753-520x730.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef/owner Anthony Strong. Photo courtesy of Prairie.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The guanciale-wrapped mochi and mussels are great examples of what this relentlessly forward-thinking chef is designing in the kitchen. Strong opens the food menu with a half-dozen antipasti, including the guanciale mochi, all of which are a world away from red sauce joints. As a nod to autumn, Fuyu persimmons partner with Urfa pepper (most commonly seen in Turkish or Arab cuisines) and pine nut miso ($8). Castelvetrano olives are dusted with a spicy Meyer lemon kosho ($7) — Italy, northern California and Japan all in one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Like the mochi, it’s $4 apiece and the majority of diners aren’t going to want to share the few bites of it. “Carta di musica,” a thin, crackery Mediterranean flatbread, comes with salt cod \u003ci>gratinita\u003c/i> and Senise peppers ($16) in a nod to the French white fish and potato classic gratin/thick spread, Brandade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131012\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131012\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00573-e1540238846167.jpg\" alt=\"Strong’s burrata preparation served with grilled levain, inspired by sour cream and onion dip.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strong’s burrata preparation served with grilled levain, inspired by sour cream and onion dip. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Switching from France to an American football tailgate favorite, sour cream and onion dip is the inspiration for Strong’s burrata preparation served with grilled levain ($14). Strong considers burrata a near “perfect food” and wanted to think outside the burrata ball beyond just topping the cheese with a garnish or two like is the customary preparation. To tweak but not disturb such a fantastic original ingredient, the chef incorporates crème fraiche, folds them together with deeply cooked spring onions accented by lemon zest, and all together achieves the smooth-meets-chunky consistency of cottage cheese curds with the plush richness of burrata.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another one of the many additional ways that he is changing up the restaurant status quo is service. As mentioned earlier, ordering is done by hand. Just check off the items that you’d like. Of course, servers are on hand to explain the difference between obscure Italian regions on the wine list (most wines are from Italy but the roster is always open to a few California or other European exceptions) or answer what “Pane Distrutto” even means (answer: destroyed bread). There is no robot making the pasta or tablets to order on or servers hawking small plates from carts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131011\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131011\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00539-e1540238752262.jpg\" alt=\"An ordering menu at Prairie.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An ordering menu at Prairie. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All of this comes not because Strong is anti-fine dining. He fully acknowledges that there is a time and place for all-encompassing special fine dining, like at some of Prairie’s neighbors (Lazy Bear is across the street and Californios is three blocks away). But, that is just not what he wanted to do with his own restaurant. Strong is just as much an entrepreneur trying to solve problems in his industry, as he is a restaurateur. Prairie is one of the few San Francisco restaurants to not accept tips, instead adding an 18% service charge to be shared by front and back of house staff in a democratic way that tips can’t provide. Strong isn’t one to attach formal titles to himself, but if he did, it would be something along the lines of Chef/Owner/General Manager/Cocktail Creator/Décor Designer/Carpenter/Doer of All Sorts of Random Tasks That Your Restaurant Needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it can seem striking at first to diners who are new to Strong, his desire to lightly shake things up is something that makes complete sense dating back to before he played in his high school band that is one of the namesakes for the restaurant. The restaurant’s other namesake also is, of course, where Strong grew up and his road to San Francisco’s Prairie began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, technically, he pointed out to us, he didn’t grow up ON the prairie. Strong is from eastern Iowa near the Mississippi River, where the “prairie ends and the bluffs drop down to the river.” There wasn’t much of a food culture there beyond “lots of corn and all sorts of livestock,” but there was lots of gardening and farming involved in his youth, with prominent produce in Iowa that even the most food-obsessed San Franciscan covets like morel mushrooms, ramps and fiddlehead ferns. As a hyper-energetic kid who loved the contrast of the manure smell of a garden to the beauty of a perfectly ripe tomato, and a kid who admittedly “geeked out” on first wave TV cooking shows by the likes of Martin Yan, the cards were set for Strong to be a chef.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131018\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131018\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00550-e1540239708521.jpg\" alt=\"Strong in Prairie's kitchen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strong in Prairie's kitchen. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>His teenage years were spent in Minneapolis and there he transitioned from “basically being an honor student to skipping school to go work at one of his two restaurant jobs” because he thought, as his eyes widened when telling us recently about his adolescent self, “knives are cooler!” Strong continued: “I thought it was the coolest thing ever…I’ve always been a little nerdy, so hiding in a corner and playing with sharp sticks and fire and making stuff look and taste cool was right up my alley.” It \u003ci>seemed\u003c/i> like the perfect future for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On his first day of being elevated from a dishwasher and busboy to a kitchen role, Strong completely bombed in a Lucille Ball at the doughnut factory-type of comedy of errors. Another more experienced chef told him in a not-so confidence boosting way that day, “Dude, you are horrible at this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Somehow that did boost his confidence and Strong bypassed college for the Eric Ripert School of Cooking, getting the lowest level kitchen position at Le Bernardin and moving to New York at the age of 19. It was extremely difficult work at extremely low pay, but his drive to rise in the kitchen led him to soak up everything that legendary fine dining establishment could provide him. In 2006, it was time to pack up and head west, though, where Strong admits that he essentially “blew his last 80 bucks at Delfina.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may not have been the most fiscally prudent decision, yet it did prove to be a game-changing professional move as he asked for a job with Delfina’s chef and co-owner, Craig Stoll. He traded in Le Bernardin’s “live uni and expensive caviar” for the spaghetti and roast chicken at Delfina, along with California’s bounty of local ingredients. He remembers upon leaving New York, “Then I came out here and had sand dabs and anchovies for the first time, and it was like, ‘What are these lowly creatures that are so amazing?’ I just fell in love with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For 11 years, Strong grew from the beginning stage at the 18th Street modern SF classic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He dove headfirst into each of the Delfina establishments and was never afraid of shaking things up, something that obviously is reflected by Prairie. When Strong figured that time was up in the Delfina sphere, he knew that he wanted to “think outside the Italian box” and he “didn’t want to do anything normal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131019\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131019\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00583-e1540239878808.jpg\" alt=\"When Strong figured that time was up in the Delfina sphere, he knew that he wanted to “think outside the Italian box” and he “didn’t want to do anything normal.”\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">When Strong figured that time was up in the Delfina sphere, he knew that he wanted to “think outside the Italian box” and he “didn’t want to do anything normal.” \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That is how Strong ended up creating a restaurant without a home…or a truck…or a pop-up space…or any chairs for diners. He would share the kitchen at the Tenderloin’s Vietnamese stalwart, Turtle Tower, and create whatever he felt like cooking and sell it on the various meal delivery apps under the faux restaurant title of “Young Fava,” a nickname given by a pair of former Pizzeria Delfina chefs (one is now the sous chef at Prairie) to him while frying fava beans and as a nod to a generation of rappers who called themselves “Young” something (Young Jeezy, Young Money).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether Strong has a future in rapping or not — and probably not — he knew that he had to cook for real people in a sit-down room again. However, for that restaurant, Strong decided, “We’re not going to be an Italian restaurant with a three syllable name and I didn’t want an Italian restaurant with a three syllable name and I’m going to try to mess with service model a bit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prairie eventually emerged for Strong in the former Hog and Rocks space. He inherited a compact 2300-square feet restaurant where roughly 30 percent of the real estate is devoted to kitchen space. Four chefs are stationed in that area with one devoted to pasta and one devoted to Prairie’s tour de force mesquite charcoal-fueled grill duo. One is a Josper grill that hails from Spain and one is a Texan & Woodshow Broiler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two grills are responsible for half the menu, ranging from a beautiful octopus sprawled out over seemingly a quarter-pound of fregola ($28) to charred Corno di Toro peppers ($9; like roasted marinated red peppers) that achieve the über-intense smokiness of mezcal to marrow bones ($22) that can later function as a good times igniting sherry shot “luge” depending if guests so desire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131014\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131014\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00567-e1540239142272.jpg\" alt=\"Rice cakes cooked with multi types of game fowl ragu.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rice cakes cooked with multi types of game fowl ragu. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The oven’s bread and butter, if you will, are without question the meats. That was the case at Locanda after several Rome trips when Strong fell in love with the deep-flavored, flame-blistered meats at the likes of decades-old heavyweights in the Eternal City like Al Ceppo. That spirit follows to Prairie except in the globetrotting form of a half rack of Berkshire pork ribs with Calabrian XO rub ($25); thin-cut beef short ribs with a tea leaf salsa verde ($28); and lamb blade chops ($27), a lamb cut that is rarely seen on Bay Area menus. Strong describes it as, “Where the rib meets and the shoulder starts you get these cross-sections of all the fun stuff going on. It’s not like a cute little lamb chop and a little loin piece. It’s all this fun stuff. Fatty and texturally, it’s amazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then pivoting to the next-door primi station in Prairie’s kitchen, you really know this isn’t a North Beach trattoria when there are rice cakes on the pasta section of the menu. Strong loves rice cakes and sources them from Santa Clara, grills the stacks, then slices them and cooks them in bright, fragrant multi types of game fowl ragu. For the opening week, the rice cakes were paired with a Chanterelle mushroom sugo ($17). Elsewhere in the pasta sector, pappardelle might go the hearty beef route with beef cheeks “butcher’s wife style” ($18) or be bursting-at-the-seams Gulf shrimp and burrata tortelli in a slightly Szechuan evoking triple chili “action” and celery soffritto ($19).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131016\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131016\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00578-e1540239459582.jpg\" alt=\"Strong mans the bar to show us his fresh take on the Italian Greyhound.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strong mans the bar to show us his fresh take on the Italian Greyhound. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now, the cocktails, also designed by Strong. You’ll cringe when you hear about the Prairie Sour (all cocktails $13), but it’s an ode to a childhood school bus memory of Templeton rye (an Iowa based spirit and a nod to how the bus driver always smelled like bourbon), egg white (a fellow student always reeked of the eggs from his apparently recently eaten breakfast), and Sapling maple liqueur from his own maple syrup-soaked breakfast. And, there you have a whiskey sour via an Iowa school bus ride, folks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another cocktail borrows from Strong’s later research years visiting Italy. Outside of basic Negronis and \u003ci>appertivi\u003c/i>, he was frustrated by the lack of cocktails. However, all of the corner bars knew who to do fresh juices for the morning, so he convinced one to work on fresh grapefruit juice for an unknown-in-Italy classic American cocktail: the Greyhound. So, an “ultra-fresh” on the spot juiced grapefruit-forward Italian Greyhound with Cappelletti and Bruto Americano sweet-herbal liqueurs is served at Prairie. You’ll also find a Kombucha Bellini ($12); a sparkling Negroni (not a Sbagliato but an intense soda water-powered, on tap version of the classic); and gorgeously balanced and fizzy Suntory Toki whiskey highballs, made on one of the few Suntory Toki carbonation machines in America, are among the other cocktail offerings. For beer, there are five northern California taps and eight rare Japanese beers by the bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131017\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131017\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00585-e1540239578142.jpg\" alt=\"Strong's on the spot juiced grapefruit-forward Italian Greyhound with Cappelletti and Bruto Americano.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strong's on the spot juiced grapefruit-forward Italian Greyhound with Cappelletti and Bruto Americano. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Former guests of Hog & Rocks will recognize the bones of the space and rough shape of the restaurant — the dining room half is by the door and the bar half is on the opposite side of the room. Except, now the walls have been covered in ash wood panels dyed indigo by a traditional Japanese treatment style called “Aizome.” Hog & Rocks’ old communal table has been separated into some high-top tables in the bar area. Half of Hog & Rocks’ old bar was cut away and is now part of Prairie’s bar backdrop. Meanwhile, Prairie’s bar is now smaller and is now a backward L–shape, offering eight seats for guests. There are a total of 70 seats combined inside and outside at a handful of sidewalk tables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you’d expect with a restaurant that looks to change things up, you’ll find quirky objects throughout the room that follow the fun, slightly freewheeling ethos of Prairie. Strong’s girlfriend allowed Strong to add her glass bok choy sculpture and her “Not-A-Flamethrower” Flamethrower from Elon Musk’s Boring Company as decorative objects on the bar backdrop. Then there are the most talked-about, slightly bizarre art items from the dining room walls: NASA theoretical space colony renderings from the 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131025\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131025\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/DSC00535-e1540240419517.jpg\" alt=\"Strong’s girlfriend allowed Strong to add her glass bok choy sculpture and her “Not-A-Flamethrower” Flamethrower from Elon Musk’s Boring Company as decorative objects on the bar backdrop.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strong’s girlfriend allowed Strong to add her glass bok choy sculpture and her “Not-A-Flamethrower” Flamethrower from Elon Musk’s Boring Company as decorative objects on the bar backdrop. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There is no pastry chef, but that doesn’t hold Strong back from crafting some cuisine-bending desserts nightly, like chocolate budino or warm chocolate “baba” (like a cross of fluffy cake with a thin frosting layer and bread pudding) infused with Earl Grey or trying to solve the cheesecake conundrum via a sheep’s milk yogurt crostata on a cinnamon and rye graham cracker crust, finished with syrup-enriched kumquats. Strong admits, “I’m very disappointed in about 99% of the cheesecakes out there” and he certainly isn’t alone in that regard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man is relentless. He wants to solve cheesecake. He wants to fix fine dining’s faults on the menu and in the dining room. He’s loosening the rules of Italian cooking. He’s the rare independent chef these days who has entered the big stage of primetime San Francisco dining without being a spin-off of a successful existing restaurant group or starting out fast-casual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hasn’t been afraid to try anything in his culinary career, from screwing up egg salad on day one to pairing mochi with guanciale today. That is why Strong is such a important character in the restaurant industry and why Prairie is one of the Bay Area’s most compelling restaurants in recent memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Eight-year-old Lucy Gray is wide-eyed and quivering with anticipation when I arrive at her house in suburban Maryland. I am sorry to report that I am not the object of her excitement. She is thrilled because she will soon be cooking with my companion, Molly Birnbaum, editor in chief of \u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/kids/home\">\u003cem>America's Test Kitchen Kids\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/\">\u003cem>America's Test Kitchen\u003c/em>\u003c/a> has long been a reliable source of advice for home cooks. The kitchen tests tools, techniques and recipes before making recommendations through its TV show, magazines and cookbooks. Now, all that know-how is becoming accessible to kids in \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Cookbook-Young-Chefs/dp/1492670022\">\u003cem>The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book has more than 100 recipes for foods that kids love to eat: blueberry muffins, cheese quesadillas, creamy dreamy tomato soup, sesame noodles with snow peas and carrots, chocolate mug cake. Birnbaum is going to show Lucy how to bring one of these yummy recipes to life. Lucy has chosen \"One Pot Pasta with Quick Tomato Sauce.\" Although Lucy has helped with cooking in the past, this is the first time she will prepare a main dish by herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before cooking, Birnbaum advises Lucy to assemble all of the ingredients. For this recipe, they need olive oil, crushed tomatoes, onions, penne, basil, parmesan and seasonings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lucy reads the recipe aloud, she stumbles over some unfamiliar terms. Birnbaum explains that cooking comes with its own foreign language: \"There are so many words in these recipes that you just don't know until you've cooked a lot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why the cookbook has a section at the beginning called \"Decoding Kitchenspeak.\" It defines terms like \"whisking\" and \"zesting,\" and explains the difference between chopping and slicing, mincing and peeling, stirring and beating. The cookbook lays out the basics with photographs of tools and equipment, and explains common techniques like how to crack and separate an egg. The cookbook also emphasizes safety, saying that it is an important secret to success in the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birnbaum shows Lucy how to hold a knife while chopping an onion so that her fingers will be tucked safely away from the sharp edge. Under Birnbaum's watchful eye, Lucy takes over the prep work and begins to cook the onions. Lucy loves the way the onions glisten as she stirs. \"They're beautiful,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, they add the canned tomatoes. Birnbaum says they did not use fresh tomatoes in this recipe because they want it to work year-round, even when tomatoes are out of season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucy notices that they have not yet used the salt they'd placed in a small dish while assembling ingredients. \"Are you supposed to put the salt in now?\" she asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Checking the recipe, Birnbaum notes that yes, they should have added the salt while cooking the onions. \"Let's put it in right now,\" Birnbaum suggests. And then she reassures Lucy that it's OK to make mistakes when cooking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For kids, mistakes are part of the process, and we really embrace them,\" Birnbaum says. \"I think doing a good technique and taking your own spin on it, even if it results in a mistake, is an awesome way to learn how to cook.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This recipe is interesting because the pasta is not cooked separately, but added with water into to the simmering tomato sauce. Lucy worries that there is too much water. But Birnbaum assures her that \"it's the perfect amount\" and will be soaked up by the pasta during the cooking process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birnbaum says these recipes, like a lot of others in the book, would also work for adults looking to cook something quick and delicious. \"I cook from this cookbook all the time,\" she confesses. \"And I don't have kids 8 to 13!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the pasta is finished, Lucy adds the basil. As a final touch, she grates Parmesan cheese over each portion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her 12-year-old sister, Kate, digs in. \"What's in this?\" she wants to know. \"It tastes so good!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their dad, Paul, agrees. \"I think this is going to be in our rotation,\" he says with a laugh, \"especially when the kids cook it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That works for Lucy. She is already eager to take on her next culinary challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And then we make dessert!\" she declares as she finishes up her pasta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131005\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1035px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131005\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659.jpg\" alt=\"America's Test Kitchen has released a new cookbook for young chefs containing easy-to-make, kid-friendly recipes, like this one-pot pasta.\" width=\"1035\" height=\"1380\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659.jpg 1035w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1035px) 100vw, 1035px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">America's Test Kitchen has released a new cookbook for young chefs containing easy-to-make, kid-friendly recipes, like this one-pot pasta. \u003ccite>(America's Test Kitchen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>One-Pot Pasta With Quick Tomato Sauce\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This dish, which is the one cooked by 8-year-old Lucy Gray in this story, is part of a collection of recipes in The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs, courtesy of America's Test Kitchen.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serves 4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prep Time: 15 minutes\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook Time: 35 minutes\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prepare Ingredients\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 onion, peeled and chopped fine\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 teaspoon salt\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, opened\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¼ teaspoon sugar\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3¾ cups penne pasta\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3 cups water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¼ cup chopped fresh basil\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grated Parmesan cheese\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gather Cooking Equipment\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dutch oven\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wooden spoon\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ladle\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serving bowls\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Start Cooking!\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>In Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat for 1 minute (oil should be hot but not smoking).

I am sorry to report that I am not the object of her excitement. She is thrilled because she will soon be cooking with my companion, Molly Birnbaum, editor in chief of \u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/kids/home\">\u003cem>America's Test Kitchen Kids\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/\">\u003cem>America's Test Kitchen\u003c/em>\u003c/a> has long been a reliable source of advice for home cooks. The kitchen tests tools, techniques and recipes before making recommendations through its TV show, magazines and cookbooks. Now, all that know-how is becoming accessible to kids in \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Cookbook-Young-Chefs/dp/1492670022\">\u003cem>The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book has more than 100 recipes for foods that kids love to eat: blueberry muffins, cheese quesadillas, creamy dreamy tomato soup, sesame noodles with snow peas and carrots, chocolate mug cake. Birnbaum is going to show Lucy how to bring one of these yummy recipes to life. Lucy has chosen \"One Pot Pasta with Quick Tomato Sauce.\" Although Lucy has helped with cooking in the past, this is the first time she will prepare a main dish by herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before cooking, Birnbaum advises Lucy to assemble all of the ingredients. For this recipe, they need olive oil, crushed tomatoes, onions, penne, basil, parmesan and seasonings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lucy reads the recipe aloud, she stumbles over some unfamiliar terms. Birnbaum explains that cooking comes with its own foreign language: \"There are so many words in these recipes that you just don't know until you've cooked a lot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why the cookbook has a section at the beginning called \"Decoding Kitchenspeak.\" It defines terms like \"whisking\" and \"zesting,\" and explains the difference between chopping and slicing, mincing and peeling, stirring and beating. The cookbook lays out the basics with photographs of tools and equipment, and explains common techniques like how to crack and separate an egg. The cookbook also emphasizes safety, saying that it is an important secret to success in the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birnbaum shows Lucy how to hold a knife while chopping an onion so that her fingers will be tucked safely away from the sharp edge. Under Birnbaum's watchful eye, Lucy takes over the prep work and begins to cook the onions. Lucy loves the way the onions glisten as she stirs. \"They're beautiful,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, they add the canned tomatoes. Birnbaum says they did not use fresh tomatoes in this recipe because they want it to work year-round, even when tomatoes are out of season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucy notices that they have not yet used the salt they'd placed in a small dish while assembling ingredients. \"Are you supposed to put the salt in now?\" she asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Checking the recipe, Birnbaum notes that yes, they should have added the salt while cooking the onions. \"Let's put it in right now,\" Birnbaum suggests. And then she reassures Lucy that it's OK to make mistakes when cooking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For kids, mistakes are part of the process, and we really embrace them,\" Birnbaum says. \"I think doing a good technique and taking your own spin on it, even if it results in a mistake, is an awesome way to learn how to cook.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This recipe is interesting because the pasta is not cooked separately, but added with water into to the simmering tomato sauce. Lucy worries that there is too much water. But Birnbaum assures her that \"it's the perfect amount\" and will be soaked up by the pasta during the cooking process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birnbaum says these recipes, like a lot of others in the book, would also work for adults looking to cook something quick and delicious. \"I cook from this cookbook all the time,\" she confesses. \"And I don't have kids 8 to 13!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the pasta is finished, Lucy adds the basil. As a final touch, she grates Parmesan cheese over each portion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her 12-year-old sister, Kate, digs in. \"What's in this?\" she wants to know. \"It tastes so good!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their dad, Paul, agrees. \"I think this is going to be in our rotation,\" he says with a laugh, \"especially when the kids cook it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That works for Lucy. She is already eager to take on her next culinary challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And then we make dessert!\" she declares as she finishes up her pasta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131005\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1035px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131005\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659.jpg\" alt=\"America's Test Kitchen has released a new cookbook for young chefs containing easy-to-make, kid-friendly recipes, like this one-pot pasta.\" width=\"1035\" height=\"1380\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659.jpg 1035w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/sfs_onepotpastatomatosauce-35_vert-939000d6befe5dc03d2710ab2a97494bd35ae659-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1035px) 100vw, 1035px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">America's Test Kitchen has released a new cookbook for young chefs containing easy-to-make, kid-friendly recipes, like this one-pot pasta. \u003ccite>(America's Test Kitchen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>One-Pot Pasta With Quick Tomato Sauce\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This dish, which is the one cooked by 8-year-old Lucy Gray in this story, is part of a collection of recipes in The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs, courtesy of America's Test Kitchen.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serves 4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prep Time: 15 minutes\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook Time: 35 minutes\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prepare Ingredients\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 onion, peeled and chopped fine\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 teaspoon salt\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, opened\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¼ teaspoon sugar\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3¾ cups penne pasta\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3 cups water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¼ cup chopped fresh basil\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grated Parmesan cheese\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gather Cooking Equipment\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dutch oven\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wooden spoon\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ladle\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serving bowls\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Start Cooking!\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>In Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat for 1 minute (oil should be hot but not smoking).

It’s a new style of taqueria, with creative, fresh, and lighter options than your usual SF taqueria selections. Their menu caters to all kinds of diners, from gluten-free to vegan, and you won’t feel like your selections are a consolation prize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their tacos come two per order, so ideally you can go with a friend who will mix and match with you.

The organizers have a background in producing music and fashion trade shows, and it shone through in the show floor’s minimalist yet approachable design, smart selection of top cannabis brands and buyers, cool photographic elements, upbeat music, and chill-out spaces (including a popular ping-pong table).\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Nlgvj9jzHx2wWNbSuHyezhw95uKFdYqC\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was even a rousing keynote from \u003cstrong>Gary Vaynerchuk\u003c/strong> to a packed room and standing-room-only audience after the first day of the show (which you can watch \u003ca href=\"https://www.hallofflowers.com/keynote/\">here\u003c/a>). His message of collaboration was so inspiring that my posse and I were mulling over how effective it would have been to begin the trade show with his talk—it really would have set a positive and extra-engaged tone for the entire show and interactions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130788\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130788\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/gary-vee-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gary Vaynerchuk gave quite the keynote speech at the Hall of Flowers. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There were around 150 brands at Hall of Flowers, exhibiting existing products to brand-new ones (Kiva launched their new Camino line of gummies at the show) to sneak peeks of products that are coming soon (well, as soon as they make it through some regulatory hurdles). It was fun to have some SoCal brands in the house that I haven’t seen before, with some hoping to ramp up distribution here in NorCal. Over 1,500 guests attended the show, with 300–400 buyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a sneak peek at five of the most interesting and high-quality edibles and beverages I spotted at the show that cannabis lovers can look forward to trying very soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Camino Gummies by Kiva Confections\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130789\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130789\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/camino-pineapple-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kiva launched their new line of Camino gummies at Hall of Flowers. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bay Area cannabis manufacturer \u003ca href=\"http://kivaconfections.com\">Kiva Confections\u003c/a> is known for their Terra Bites (both in blueberry and espresso bean), chocolate Kiva Bars, and their microdoser favorite Petra Mints (in matcha mint and eucalyptus), but now they have a new cannabis-infused gummy product line to share: \u003cstrong>Camino\u003c/strong>.

The Blenheim Apricot gummy features a hybrid of indica and sativa terpenes for a balanced high (5mg of THC). If you want to chill out, the Wild Berry gummy is a combo of wild blackberry and fresh raspberries with indica terpenes for a laid-back high (5mg of THC). I had a chance to taste unmedicated samples at the show, and each had bright flavor, a pleasant texture, and the shape makes it easy to bite or cut into two for a microdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camino gummies will be available starting at the end of October in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mr. Moxey’s Mints\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130790\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130790\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/mr-moxeys-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mr. Moxey's Mints are coming to California. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When I was on a cannabis research trip in Washington a year ago, I fell in love with these award-winning and low-dose mints that, like the Camino gummies, are synthesized for a specific experience and mental state, although these mints depend upon herbal ingredients (or “\u003ca href=\"https://www.moxeysmints.com/herbal-allies\">allies\u003c/a>,” as they call them).

If you want to chillax, the Relaxing Cinnamon mint includes California poppy to relieve tension and chamomile to chill you out (5mg of THC). And if you want some balance and rejuvenation, the CBD ginger mints have 5mg CBD and 1mg THC per mint, plus Indian gooseberry and echinacea (they have a great spicy kick to them).

Those crazy kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cookie line has a variety of THC doses: 5mg, 10mg, or 25mg, and they just released two more kinds. One is their 10mg THC peanut butter-chocolate cookie (and it’s vegan!). Another is their peanut butter-chocolate cookie made with 15mg of CBD (originally sourced from hemp, but now from cannabis), so it’s non-intoxicating, and can be great for relaxation, reducing inflammation, and pain. Coming very soon is a 1:1 cookie, with 10mg CBD and 10mg THC, in chocolate and peanut butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cookies have a nice balance of chewy and crunchy, they don’t taste like mass-produced cookies, and you shouldn’t notice a weedy taste.

The organizers have a background in producing music and fashion trade shows, and it shone through in the show floor’s minimalist yet approachable design, smart selection of top cannabis brands and buyers, cool photographic elements, upbeat music, and chill-out spaces (including a popular ping-pong table).\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was even a rousing keynote from \u003cstrong>Gary Vaynerchuk\u003c/strong> to a packed room and standing-room-only audience after the first day of the show (which you can watch \u003ca href=\"https://www.hallofflowers.com/keynote/\">here\u003c/a>). His message of collaboration was so inspiring that my posse and I were mulling over how effective it would have been to begin the trade show with his talk—it really would have set a positive and extra-engaged tone for the entire show and interactions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130788\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130788\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/gary-vee-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gary Vaynerchuk gave quite the keynote speech at the Hall of Flowers. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There were around 150 brands at Hall of Flowers, exhibiting existing products to brand-new ones (Kiva launched their new Camino line of gummies at the show) to sneak peeks of products that are coming soon (well, as soon as they make it through some regulatory hurdles). It was fun to have some SoCal brands in the house that I haven’t seen before, with some hoping to ramp up distribution here in NorCal. Over 1,500 guests attended the show, with 300–400 buyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a sneak peek at five of the most interesting and high-quality edibles and beverages I spotted at the show that cannabis lovers can look forward to trying very soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Camino Gummies by Kiva Confections\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130789\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130789\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/camino-pineapple-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kiva launched their new line of Camino gummies at Hall of Flowers. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bay Area cannabis manufacturer \u003ca href=\"http://kivaconfections.com\">Kiva Confections\u003c/a> is known for their Terra Bites (both in blueberry and espresso bean), chocolate Kiva Bars, and their microdoser favorite Petra Mints (in matcha mint and eucalyptus), but now they have a new cannabis-infused gummy product line to share: \u003cstrong>Camino\u003c/strong>.

Kiva has been working on these recipes and formulations for over two years, integrating both academic terpene research and consumer feedback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pineapple Habanero gummies are paired with stimulating sativa terpenes for the perfect daytime gummy (5mg of THC), while the Sparkling Pear Prosecco is designed to be social, with 6mg of CBD and 2mg of THC for a pleasant high without inducing anxiety. The Blenheim Apricot gummy features a hybrid of indica and sativa terpenes for a balanced high (5mg of THC). If you want to chill out, the Wild Berry gummy is a combo of wild blackberry and fresh raspberries with indica terpenes for a laid-back high (5mg of THC). I had a chance to taste unmedicated samples at the show, and each had bright flavor, a pleasant texture, and the shape makes it easy to bite or cut into two for a microdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camino gummies will be available starting at the end of October in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mr. Moxey’s Mints\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130790\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130790\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/mr-moxeys-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mr. Moxey's Mints are coming to California. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When I was on a cannabis research trip in Washington a year ago, I fell in love with these award-winning and low-dose mints that, like the Camino gummies, are synthesized for a specific experience and mental state, although these mints depend upon herbal ingredients (or “\u003ca href=\"https://www.moxeysmints.com/herbal-allies\">allies\u003c/a>,” as they call them).

If you want to chillax, the Relaxing Cinnamon mint includes California poppy to relieve tension and chamomile to chill you out (5mg of THC). And if you want some balance and rejuvenation, the CBD ginger mints have 5mg CBD and 1mg THC per mint, plus Indian gooseberry and echinacea (they have a great spicy kick to them).

Those crazy kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cookie line has a variety of THC doses: 5mg, 10mg, or 25mg, and they just released two more kinds. One is their 10mg THC peanut butter-chocolate cookie (and it’s vegan!). Another is their peanut butter-chocolate cookie made with 15mg of CBD (originally sourced from hemp, but now from cannabis), so it’s non-intoxicating, and can be great for relaxation, reducing inflammation, and pain. Coming very soon is a 1:1 cookie, with 10mg CBD and 10mg THC, in chocolate and peanut butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cookies have a nice balance of chewy and crunchy, they don’t taste like mass-produced cookies, and you shouldn’t notice a weedy taste. They’re tasty, so you don’t want to mindlessly snack on them—decide your consumption ahead of time, take the cookie (or cookies) out of the bag, and then put them away.

In China and the U.S., the barley yield is actually predicted to rise — but \"not enough to offset the global decrease,\" the study says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Climate change could reshape the barley and beer market, the researchers say, depicting a situation in which China — which currently \u003ca href=\"https://research.rabobank.com/far/en/sectors/beverages/Ni-Hao-This-Buds-for-You.html\">drinks more Budweiser than the U.S.\u003c/a> — would scale back its beer consumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the best- or worst-case scenario plays out, beer drinkers in Ireland, Canada, Poland and Italy will likely see prices increase the most, according to the report. Beer-loving countries Belgium and the U.K. are also in the top 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even under the two middle-range climate models used in the study, beer consumption is forecast to fall by an average of around 2 billion liters in China alone. The U.S. wouldn't be far behind, with beer consumption projected to fall by an average of around 1.75 billion liters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers acknowledge that their study has some limitations. For one thing, there's the difficulty of predicting the behavior of beer drinkers, and their shifting tastes. Then there's the possibility that barley farmers might find ways to adapt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our results reflect impacts of extreme events as though they happened in the present day,\" the study says, adding, \"Global population and socioeconomic conditions are also held constant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Brewers Association, the U.S. trade group, responded to the study by calling it \"largely an academic exercise and not one that brewers or beer lovers should lose any sleep over.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saying that the beer industry \"certainly understands and is already preparing for shifts in climate,\" BA economist Bart Watson and supply chain expert Chris Swersey write that barley production has always shifted geographically — while production efficiency \"continues to grow over time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another element to consider, \u003ca href=\"https://www.brewersassociation.org/insights/evolving-beers-supply-chain-in-an-era-of-climate-change/\">Watson and Swersey say\u003c/a>, is the research that's being done to help not only barley, but also hops — another crucial ingredient in beer — withstand high temperatures and drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study's authors call their work a first step in analyzing the long-term impacts for beer drinkers, saying they wanted \"to isolate the effects of extreme climatic events holding all other conditions constant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there are those among us who could stand to cut back on beer. After all, a recent study \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/08/24/641618937/no-amount-of-alcohol-is-good-for-your-health-global-study-claims\">in The Lancet medical journal\u003c/a> stated, \"Our results show that the safest level of drinking is none.\" But Dabo Guan, one of the study's lead authors who is a professor of climate change economics, noted that beer has been part of human history for thousands of years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It may be argued that consuming less beer isn't itself disastrous, and may even have health benefits,\" Guan said \u003ca href=\"http://www.uea.ac.uk/about/-/study-reveals-how-climate-change-could-cause-global-beer-shortages\">in a statement\u003c/a> from the University of East Anglia, where he works. \"Nevertheless, there is little doubt that for millions of people around the world, the climate impacts on beer availability and price will add insult to injury.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research paper has attracted wide attention, as it gives people a very concrete reference point from which to view the concept of climate change.

And as we've seen with the Earth's shifting climate, the predicted effects vary widely from region to region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under four different weather scenarios created for the years from 2010 to 2099, the world's barley growers would see \"yield losses [that] range from 3 percent to 17 percent depending on the severity of the conditions,\" according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beneath that overall impact, regional differences would be stark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South America would fare poorly, as would many tropical areas. In China and the U.S., the barley yield is actually predicted to rise — but \"not enough to offset the global decrease,\" the study says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Climate change could reshape the barley and beer market, the researchers say, depicting a situation in which China — which currently \u003ca href=\"https://research.rabobank.com/far/en/sectors/beverages/Ni-Hao-This-Buds-for-You.html\">drinks more Budweiser than the U.S.\u003c/a> — would scale back its beer consumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the best- or worst-case scenario plays out, beer drinkers in Ireland, Canada, Poland and Italy will likely see prices increase the most, according to the report. Beer-loving countries Belgium and the U.K. are also in the top 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even under the two middle-range climate models used in the study, beer consumption is forecast to fall by an average of around 2 billion liters in China alone. The U.S. wouldn't be far behind, with beer consumption projected to fall by an average of around 1.75 billion liters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers acknowledge that their study has some limitations. For one thing, there's the difficulty of predicting the behavior of beer drinkers, and their shifting tastes. Then there's the possibility that barley farmers might find ways to adapt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our results reflect impacts of extreme events as though they happened in the present day,\" the study says, adding, \"Global population and socioeconomic conditions are also held constant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Brewers Association, the U.S. trade group, responded to the study by calling it \"largely an academic exercise and not one that brewers or beer lovers should lose any sleep over.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saying that the beer industry \"certainly understands and is already preparing for shifts in climate,\" BA economist Bart Watson and supply chain expert Chris Swersey write that barley production has always shifted geographically — while production efficiency \"continues to grow over time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another element to consider, \u003ca href=\"https://www.brewersassociation.org/insights/evolving-beers-supply-chain-in-an-era-of-climate-change/\">Watson and Swersey say\u003c/a>, is the research that's being done to help not only barley, but also hops — another crucial ingredient in beer — withstand high temperatures and drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study's authors call their work a first step in analyzing the long-term impacts for beer drinkers, saying they wanted \"to isolate the effects of extreme climatic events holding all other conditions constant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there are those among us who could stand to cut back on beer. After all, a recent study \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/08/24/641618937/no-amount-of-alcohol-is-good-for-your-health-global-study-claims\">in The Lancet medical journal\u003c/a> stated, \"Our results show that the safest level of drinking is none.\" But Dabo Guan, one of the study's lead authors who is a professor of climate change economics, noted that beer has been part of human history for thousands of years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It may be argued that consuming less beer isn't itself disastrous, and may even have health benefits,\" Guan said \u003ca href=\"http://www.uea.ac.uk/about/-/study-reveals-how-climate-change-could-cause-global-beer-shortages\">in a statement\u003c/a> from the University of East Anglia, where he works. \"Nevertheless, there is little doubt that for millions of people around the world, the climate impacts on beer availability and price will add insult to injury.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research paper has attracted wide attention, as it gives people a very concrete reference point from which to view the concept of climate change. Davis admitted to being unsure of how to view that phenomenon, after the report \"garnered considerably more attention than any of my previous work on energy transitions or even air pollution deaths.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Not sure what to make of the fact that in one day our paper on climate and beer has garnered considerably more attention than any of my previous work on energy transitions or even air pollution deaths. \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/BktnKLEFWx\">https://t.co/BktnKLEFWx\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/ZK5GhR0gwT\">https://t.co/ZK5GhR0gwT\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Steven J.

The pork sung roll was over the top and the spongy texture made it really satisfying to eat. Pork floss is almost like a savory/porky cotton candy, and you’ll also see it on the hot dog–bun shaped roll called the falafel roll (a total ESL misnomer), with green onion on top, and there’s the seaweed pork sung bun as well (I liked the saline flavor note).\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130882\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130882\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/harvest-coconut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The baked coconut tart has an irresistible dense and sticky texture that is such a pleasure to bite into. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since most of the baked goods are $1.25–$1.45, you can indulge your whims and taste whatever catches your eye (just make sure you have enough cash on you)! Some aren’t exactly top-of-the-line, but they certainly over-deliver for the incredibly affordable price, and they’re freshly made.

(Another Japanese-inspired treat includes a rolled matcha sponge cake, so it’s not just about Chinese baked goods here.)

Dominica Rice-Cisneros has a big fan base at her beloved \u003cstrong>Cosecha\u003c/strong> counter in the market, known for her quality homestyle dishes, including tacos with tortillas made to order, and a strong message of social justice on the side.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130874\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130874\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/cosecha-salsa-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The seasonal and freshly made salsas at Cosecha are always a highlight. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Her pozole verde is a favorite, but a close second for me are her fried fish tacos, with sustainably wild-caught cod sporting the lightest, laciest breading, topped with dollops of a rich crema de chipotle. And the tortillas! So soft and full of sweet corn flavor. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, two fish tacos are available as a blue plate special for $12.50, with a side of beans and perfectly ripened avocado. You’ll also want to see what the seasonal salsa is (the salsas and sauces really are next-level here), which will be ideal on top of the beans, and especially with their excellent housemade chips.

Fortunately, you can order the fried chicken by the piece (an expertly fried juicy thigh for me, $4.50, thanks), which proved to be a magic accompaniment to their beautiful and vibrant tropical salad ($10), which rotates with seasonal fruits (like stone fruit, persimmon, or mango), plus pomegranate, radish, cucumber, the freshest greens, avocado, and a sweet sherry vinaigrette—the acidity ended up being the perfect foil to bites of the burnished fried chicken.

The pork sung roll was over the top and the spongy texture made it really satisfying to eat. Pork floss is almost like a savory/porky cotton candy, and you’ll also see it on the hot dog–bun shaped roll called the falafel roll (a total ESL misnomer), with green onion on top, and there’s the seaweed pork sung bun as well (I liked the saline flavor note).\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130882\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130882\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/harvest-coconut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The baked coconut tart has an irresistible dense and sticky texture that is such a pleasure to bite into. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since most of the baked goods are $1.25–$1.45, you can indulge your whims and taste whatever catches your eye (just make sure you have enough cash on you)!

And the tortillas! So soft and full of sweet corn flavor. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, two fish tacos are available as a blue plate special for $12.50, with a side of beans and perfectly ripened avocado. You’ll also want to see what the seasonal salsa is (the salsas and sauces really are next-level here), which will be ideal on top of the beans, and especially with their excellent housemade chips.

Fortunately, you can order the fried chicken by the piece (an expertly fried juicy thigh for me, $4.50, thanks), which proved to be a magic accompaniment to their beautiful and vibrant tropical salad ($10), which rotates with seasonal fruits (like stone fruit, persimmon, or mango), plus pomegranate, radish, cucumber, the freshest greens, avocado, and a sweet sherry vinaigrette—the acidity ended up being the perfect foil to bites of the burnished fried chicken.

The region’s commitment to agriculture may explain why Hamburg leads Germany’s count of vegan restaurants. But the city’s history as one of Europe’s largest ports also pushes the culinary boundaries of the city. Voth brings a commitment to international flavors and an ethos of cooking with zero waste to the cuisine at Gaumenkitzel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crispy, pan-fried veggie cake is a throwback to a style of cooking that any maker can relate to. Carrots and parsnips, plucked from the garden hours earlier are hand-mixed with house-milled oats and an egg from a local coop. Voth’s version leaves out the traditional spelt, making the dish lighter and free from gluten. Full-fat butter and olive oil add great flavor and important nutrients. Updated for today’s sensibilities, this veggie cake is impeccably sourced and insanely fresh, making it as relevant today as to anyone living in Hamburg in 1914.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Walzwerk\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/381+S+Van+Ness+Ave,+San+Francisco,+CA+94103/@37.767254,-122.419648,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e24108b726d:0x8dd57a2077a23b6b!8m2!3d37.7672498!4d-122.4174593\">381 South Van Ness, \u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/381+S+Van+Ness+Ave,+San+Francisco,+CA+94103/@37.767254,-122.419648,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e24108b726d:0x8dd57a2077a23b6b!8m2!3d37.7672498!4d-122.4174593\">San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130866\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-130866\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt.jpg\" alt=\"Vegetarian schnitzel at Walzwerk.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegetarian schnitzel at Walzwerk. \u003ccite>(Christiane Schmidt)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Slice the vegetarian schnitzel at \u003ca href=\"http://www.walzwerk.com/\">Walzwerk\u003c/a> in half and marvel at its vibrant purple and orange colors.

Whether it’s hardware, software, or somewhere in between, surviving in the Bay as an entrepreneur is a tough thing to do. And when it comes to food, it’s even tougher. Faced with a mountain-high pile of permitting and regulations to figure out, skyrocketing rent costs, and increasingly difficult to hire skilled labor—all on top of a razor-thin profit margin—making a food startup work is not an easy thing to do. That’s not to say it’s impossible of course—a good idea and a lot of grit can get you far, but a lack of resources can really stimy the progress. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thankfully, there are places in the Bay that aim to champion the budding food entrepreneurs that are here, providing them with space, equipment, and even mentoring to help them achieve their food dreams. We’re taking a look at five Bay Area co-working spaces that are giving food start-ups a literal home to grow into successful businesses. Success stories like Azalina’s, Kika’s Treats, and Minnie Bells are testaments to how vital it is to have spaces providing this type of support in such a rough business landscape like San Francisco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>BiteUnite\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/BiteUnite+(San+Francisco)/@37.7633626,-122.4198796,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7f73ded13161:0x36814660d0359592!8m2!3d37.7633584!4d-122.4176856\">600 S Van Ness Ave,\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94110\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130735\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-130735 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-800x509.jpg\" alt=\"BiteUnite's kitchen is fully equipped with commercial equipment for all members to use and share.\" width=\"800\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-800x509.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-160x102.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-768x488.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-1020x649.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-1200x763.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-1180x750.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-960x611.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-240x153.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-375x238.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-520x331.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">BiteUnite's kitchen is fully equipped with commercial equipment for all members to use and share.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A concept that originated in Hong Kong, \u003ca href=\"https://biteunite.com/\">BiteUnite\u003c/a> is one of the newest co-working kitchens to hit the Bay Area.

However, due to some personal life events and not a lot of significant growth and returns on Kitchener’s extracurricular efforts, the space transitioned into becoming a traditional shared commercial kitchen.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While not offering the same outside amenities and activities as before, Kitchener remains a quality co-working space that won’t break the bank at just $14-23 per hour. As Chang points out, Kitchener is a very affordable option for up and coming entrepreneurs who can get a similar support that they previously offered through other free/ affordable resources like Kiva and the City of Oakland. By continuing to provide an affordable kitchen space, the entrepreneurs can pursue their own supplemental support channels. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Forage Kitchen\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Forage+Kitchen/@37.8147241,-122.2693548,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f80ab68cd2b43:0x628a2676168a53c0!8m2!3d37.8147241!4d-122.2671608\">478 25th St\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94612\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130737\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130737\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Forage Kitchen invites the public to enjoy members' products every first Friday of the month. \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Forage Kitchen invites the public to enjoy members' products every first Friday of the month. \u003ccite>(Forage Kitchen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another East Bay kitchen (just blocks from Kitchener), \u003ca href=\"http://www.foragekitchen.com/\">Forage Kitchen\u003c/a>'s counterpart, \u003ca href=\"https://www.foragesf.com/about-us/\">ForageSF\u003c/a> is well known as a food company that enables people to become better in tune with their food and to understand what out there is edible and tasty.

Whether it’s hardware, software, or somewhere in between, surviving in the Bay as an entrepreneur is a tough thing to do. And when it comes to food, it’s even tougher. Faced with a mountain-high pile of permitting and regulations to figure out, skyrocketing rent costs, and increasingly difficult to hire skilled labor—all on top of a razor-thin profit margin—making a food startup work is not an easy thing to do. That’s not to say it’s impossible of course—a good idea and a lot of grit can get you far, but a lack of resources can really stimy the progress. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thankfully, there are places in the Bay that aim to champion the budding food entrepreneurs that are here, providing them with space, equipment, and even mentoring to help them achieve their food dreams. We’re taking a look at five Bay Area co-working spaces that are giving food start-ups a literal home to grow into successful businesses. Success stories like Azalina’s, Kika’s Treats, and Minnie Bells are testaments to how vital it is to have spaces providing this type of support in such a rough business landscape like San Francisco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>BiteUnite\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/BiteUnite+(San+Francisco)/@37.7633626,-122.4198796,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7f73ded13161:0x36814660d0359592!8m2!3d37.7633584!4d-122.4176856\">600 S Van Ness Ave,\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94110\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130735\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-130735 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-800x509.jpg\" alt=\"BiteUnite's kitchen is fully equipped with commercial equipment for all members to use and share.\" width=\"800\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-800x509.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-160x102.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-768x488.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-1020x649.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-1200x763.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-1180x750.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-960x611.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-240x153.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-375x238.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/BiteUnite_8-1-520x331.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">BiteUnite's kitchen is fully equipped with commercial equipment for all members to use and share.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A concept that originated in Hong Kong, \u003ca href=\"https://biteunite.com/\">BiteUnite\u003c/a> is one of the newest co-working kitchens to hit the Bay Area.

However, due to some personal life events and not a lot of significant growth and returns on Kitchener’s extracurricular efforts, the space transitioned into becoming a traditional shared commercial kitchen.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While not offering the same outside amenities and activities as before, Kitchener remains a quality co-working space that won’t break the bank at just $14-23 per hour. As Chang points out, Kitchener is a very affordable option for up and coming entrepreneurs who can get a similar support that they previously offered through other free/ affordable resources like Kiva and the City of Oakland. By continuing to provide an affordable kitchen space, the entrepreneurs can pursue their own supplemental support channels. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Forage Kitchen\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Forage+Kitchen/@37.8147241,-122.2693548,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f80ab68cd2b43:0x628a2676168a53c0!8m2!3d37.8147241!4d-122.2671608\">478 25th St\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94612\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130737\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-130737\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Forage Kitchen invites the public to enjoy members' products every first Friday of the month. \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/160818_Forage-Kitchen-115-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Forage Kitchen invites the public to enjoy members' products every first Friday of the month. \u003ccite>(Forage Kitchen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another East Bay kitchen (just blocks from Kitchener), \u003ca href=\"http://www.foragekitchen.com/\">Forage Kitchen\u003c/a>'s counterpart, \u003ca href=\"https://www.foragesf.com/about-us/\">ForageSF\u003c/a> is well known as a food company that enables people to become better in tune with their food and to understand what out there is edible and tasty.
