Seoul Gomtang lives up to its name and offers a delectable variety of soups and other dishes, including its namesake. \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomguk\" target=\"_blank\">Gom tang\u003c/a>\u003c/em> is a rich, milky white broth made by gently simmering meat and bones for hours. While the restaurant seems to cater to a primarily Korean clientele, the servers speak English and the menus are bilingual -- though look for the one with images if you're having trouble deciphering what to order. \u003cem>Gori gom tang\u003c/em> is described as a \"thick broth of thoroughly cooked ox tail\" (for images, visit \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/seoul-gomtang-oakland?select=zwt8GDdy3eNSmRZuTIFVsg#zwt8GDdy3eNSmRZuTIFVsg\" target=\"_blank\">their listing on Yelp\u003c/a> as I neglected to take a photo.) Add scallions and sea salt (canisters of both will already be on your table) to flavor the simple soup filled with chunks of oxtail on the bone. For a cool soup on a hot day, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naengmyeon\" target=\"_blank\">Mul naengmyeon\u003c/a>\u003c/em> is a fine choice. Described as \"cold noodle with beef\" on the menu, buckwheat noodles swim in a tangy broth garnished with boiled egg, pickled cucumbers and radish as well as shredded beef. Use the mustard and vinegar condiments if you'd like to spice up your soup, and if you find the noodles too long and unwieldy, don't hesitate to use the scissors your server gives to you beforehand. While the \u003cem>banchan\u003c/em> consists of just three kinds of \u003cem>kimchi\u003c/em> -- cucumber, cabbage and radish -- they're all you need to accompany your meal and refills are available upon request. Two tasty side dishes are the plump \u003cem>jin mandoo\u003c/em>, or steamed dumplings stuffed with pork and tofu, and \u003cem>hae mool pajun\u003c/em>, an oversized fried pancake packed with peppers, green onions, oysters and squid.

For a set price (with a 2 person minimum), you can choose from several sections to assemble your own all-you-can eat meal: appetizers; stews; items for the grill; wraps; condiments; rice. \u003cem>Bulgogi\u003c/em>, pork belly and spicy pork are excellent options, as well as baby octopus. Pace yourself and cook just a few slices at a time over the hot wood coals, or you may find your meat will be done before you're ready to dig in. Top with garlic, chilies and \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doenjang\" target=\"_blank\">doenjang\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, or a mild fermented soybean paste, then wrap it all in lettuce to enjoy as a mini-Korean burrito (or \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssam\" target=\"_blank\">ssam\u003c/a>). Ask for more servings if you've still got room, if you're not filled up on side dishes like the soft tofu stew (\u003cem>sundubu jigae\u003c/em>) and \u003cem>banchan\u003c/em>. Soon you'll be rolling out the door, perfumed in BBQ smoke, once you finish your lavish feast. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"83925,83926,83927,83928,83929,83930,83931,83932\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/yuyu-za-zang-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Yuyu Za Zang\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n4871 Telegraph Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/2MZr05\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94609\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 653-2288\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sat 11:30am-9:30pm, Sun 12:30-9:30pm\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the sign out front declares that Chef Yu / Yuyu Za Zang is a Chinese restaurant, it actually specializes in \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Chinese_cuisine\" target=\"_blank\">Korean-style Chinese\u003c/a> food. Although it does have a separate menu with Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef and other typical Chinese dishes, go to their newish location on Telegraph Avenue (they moved just up the block from their former spot near MacArthur) for their homemade noodle dishes. The standout is the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jajangmyeon\" target=\"_blank\">za zang myun\u003c/a>\u003c/em>: a heaping bowl of wheat flour noodles topped with a salty, sautéed black soybean sauce with pork, onions and other vegetables. It's traditionally served with bright yellow \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takuan\" target=\"_blank\">pickled daikon radish\u003c/a> and diced raw onions for dipping into a small dish of plain black soybean sauce. You can also get the same \u003cem>za zang\u003c/em> sauce over rice with an omelet, and it comes with a small spicy bowl of complimentary \u003cem>jam pong\u003c/em> soup. For a hotter version of sweet-and-sour chicken, \u003cem>gan poong ki\u003c/em> is filled with tender bites of boneless fried chicken in a sugary-spicy glaze. Also highly recommended are the pork and vegetable fried dumplings. While a special, pricier menu of additional Korean-Chinese dishes is only noted on a sign handwritten in Korean on the wall -- including \u003cem>pal bo chae\u003c/em> (a stir-fried seafood & vegetable medley) and \u003cem>hae sam tang\u003c/em> (braised sea cucumber dish) -- ask your server about those dishes if you're curious. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Seoul Gomtang lives up to its name and offers a delectable variety of soups and other dishes, including its namesake. \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomguk\" target=\"_blank\">Gom tang\u003c/a>\u003c/em> is a rich, milky white broth made by gently simmering meat and bones for hours. While the restaurant seems to cater to a primarily Korean clientele, the servers speak English and the menus are bilingual -- though look for the one with images if you're having trouble deciphering what to order. \u003cem>Gori gom tang\u003c/em> is described as a \"thick broth of thoroughly cooked ox tail\" (for images, visit \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/seoul-gomtang-oakland?select=zwt8GDdy3eNSmRZuTIFVsg#zwt8GDdy3eNSmRZuTIFVsg\" target=\"_blank\">their listing on Yelp\u003c/a> as I neglected to take a photo.) Add scallions and sea salt (canisters of both will already be on your table) to flavor the simple soup filled with chunks of oxtail on the bone. For a cool soup on a hot day, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naengmyeon\" target=\"_blank\">Mul naengmyeon\u003c/a>\u003c/em> is a fine choice. Described as \"cold noodle with beef\" on the menu, buckwheat noodles swim in a tangy broth garnished with boiled egg, pickled cucumbers and radish as well as shredded beef. Use the mustard and vinegar condiments if you'd like to spice up your soup, and if you find the noodles too long and unwieldy, don't hesitate to use the scissors your server gives to you beforehand. While the \u003cem>banchan\u003c/em> consists of just three kinds of \u003cem>kimchi\u003c/em> -- cucumber, cabbage and radish -- they're all you need to accompany your meal and refills are available upon request. Two tasty side dishes are the plump \u003cem>jin mandoo\u003c/em>, or steamed dumplings stuffed with pork and tofu, and \u003cem>hae mool pajun\u003c/em>, an oversized fried pancake packed with peppers, green onions, oysters and squid.

Pace yourself and cook just a few slices at a time over the hot wood coals, or you may find your meat will be done before you're ready to dig in.

Although it does have a separate menu with Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef and other typical Chinese dishes, go to their newish location on Telegraph Avenue (they moved just up the block from their former spot near MacArthur) for their homemade noodle dishes. The standout is the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jajangmyeon\" target=\"_blank\">za zang myun\u003c/a>\u003c/em>: a heaping bowl of wheat flour noodles topped with a salty, sautéed black soybean sauce with pork, onions and other vegetables. It's traditionally served with bright yellow \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takuan\" target=\"_blank\">pickled daikon radish\u003c/a> and diced raw onions for dipping into a small dish of plain black soybean sauce. You can also get the same \u003cem>za zang\u003c/em> sauce over rice with an omelet, and it comes with a small spicy bowl of complimentary \u003cem>jam pong\u003c/em> soup. For a hotter version of sweet-and-sour chicken, \u003cem>gan poong ki\u003c/em> is filled with tender bites of boneless fried chicken in a sugary-spicy glaze. Also highly recommended are the pork and vegetable fried dumplings.

With long, wooden communal tables and an expansive bar filling up the large, airy space, proprietors Bradford Earle and John Streit run their American-style beer hall under the motto of where \"locavore meets locapour.\" 38 taps of Californian beer and wines flow from the wall behind the bar and pair well with the diverse array of seasonal dishes prepared with locally-sourced ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chef Streit was on the premises, busy expediting the entrees emerging from the kitchen for his patrons. You won't find the usual buffalo chicken wings and nachos bar fare on his whimsical menu, which includes such starters as, \"Fries with Eyes,\" deep-fried Eureka smelt with green garlic aioli, and \"Chokes & Favas,\" marinated artichokes piled on a barley salad with fresh favas, ricotta salata, black olives and a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmaltz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">schmaltz\u003c/a>-fried egg. The fruity triple IPA, \"Dank Statement,\" from the San Francisco-based \u003ca href=\"http://www.cellarmakerbrewing.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cellarmaker Brewing Company\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sierranevada.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sierra Nevada's\u003c/a> \"Southern Hemisphere\" fresh hop IPA are a fine match to these rich appetizers. Prep your palate with the Bay Laurel sour beer from \u003ca href=\"http://www.craftsmanbrewing.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Craftsman Brewing\u003c/a>, which has a sparkly champagne taste with an unusual finish reminiscent of cured meats -- specifically salami. Then you'll be ready to move on to the housemade sausage sandwiches like the \"Istanbul not Constantinople,\" a Middle-Eastern spiced pork sausage with charred nettles and \"Amargallego,\" a pork-and-chicken sausage topped with salsa brava, crispy potatoes and Calabrian chile, nestled between pillowy-soft buns with a side of pickled vegetables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you ate the entire giant pile of lard-fried Kennebec potato chips that accompanied your sausages, try and make room for their noteworthy peach and pretzel fritters with \u003cem>creme anglaise\u003c/em>. My husband and I shared this decadent dessert with one of our table mates, Lauri, a devoted regular of the bar. Both the Old Stock Ale, a barleywine from Ft. Bragg's \u003ca href=\"http://www.northcoastbrewing.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Coast Brewing Company\u003c/a> and \"Carlo's Stout\", an imperial stout from Alameda's \u003ca href=\"http://factionbrewing.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Faction Brewing\u003c/a>, are excellent beers to wash down your sugary treat. By the end of your meal, you'll more than likely be sharing the sentiments shown on the sign around the neck of Theo, the towering carved wooden sculpture of a dancing pig perched on a counter: \"This beer is making me awesome.\" Stay tuned for further developments as brunch and outdoor seating are in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hogsapothecary.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hog’s Apothecary\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n375 40th St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/pDvl2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94609\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 338-3847\u003cbr>\nHours: Everyday from 5pm-12am, closed on Tuesdays\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TheHogsApothecary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hog's Apothecary\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/HogsApothecary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@HogsApothecary\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"81485,81486,81489,81490,81494,81484,81491,81487,81488,81492, 81493,81480,81482\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.gaumenkitzel.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gaumenkitzel\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n2121 San Pablo Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/d3WUI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94702\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 647-5016\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Sun 11:30am-9pm; Fri-Sat open 11:30am-10pm\u003cbr>\nLunch 11:30am-2pm; Afternoon Menu 2-5:30pm; Dinner starting 5:30pm\u003cbr>\nWeekend Brunch 11:30am-2:30pm; Happy Hour Tue-Fri 2-5:30pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gaumenkitzel-Restaurant/161594813893300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gaumenkitzel\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/gaumenkitzel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@gaumenkitzel\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're looking for an alternative to Alameda-based \u003ca href=\"http://www.speisekammer.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Speisekammer\u003c/a>, head over to Berkeley for a uniquely Bay Area take on German cuisine. Hamburg ex-pats, the husband-and-wife team Kai Flache and Chef Anja Voth, have recreated their childhood favorites with an all-natural approach. Eschewing artificial additives, canned or processed ingredients, even microwaves and deep fryers, this solar-powered restaurant prides itself on preparing everything from scratch -- including yogurt and bread. They also serve sustainably raised fish and meat and use locally grown, organic produce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with offering the largest German beer selection in the Bay Area, they also have plenty of sausage options available on their menu. A substantial starter is their platter of liver sausage and tangy north German butter cheese that comes with a small mixed green salad and orange-honey dressing, grated carrot-thyme salad, roasted beets, pickles and their housebaked Gaumenkitzel whole wheat bread with fresh unsalted butter. Or you could opt for a sausage plate and choose from three \u003cem>Nürnberger bratwürste\u003c/em> sausages, two \u003cem>wiener knackwürste\u003c/em> or one Bavarian white sausage with their housemade potato salad accented with dill. A delicious variation on the classic American combo of mac-and-cheese with hot dogs is the delicatessen \u003cem>wiener knackwürste\u003c/em> on \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A4tzle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spätzle\u003c/a>\u003c/em> dish.

Or try one of their exclusive imports, the Grevensteiner \u003cem>Kellerbier\u003c/em> (cellar beer) that's an unfiltered, unpasteurized 5.2% ABV pilsner that's reminiscent of caramel and honey.

While The Trappist doesn't carry the substantial assortment of housemade sausages as Stilphen's recently opened \u003ca href=\"http://www.mikkellerbar.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mikkeller Bar\u003c/a> in San Francisco, they do have two transplants from that establishment: a plump, juicy bratwurst poached in Sculpin IPA with a potato hash and the delectable pastrami sandwich with Gruyère, housemade sauerkraut and dressing on rye. (And it seems he'll be launching a \u003ca href=\"http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2014/03/18/trappist-and-mikkeller-bar-owner-plans-berkeley-bbq-restaurant-perdition-smokehouse/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sausage company that bears the same name\u003c/a> in the near future with Trappist chef Michael O’Brien.) Along with cheese plates and charcuterie, O'Brien cooks up some creative concotions like \"Green Eggs & Eggs\" made with soft-boiled eggs, wasabi, tobiko, Japanese mayonnaise and habanero oil. There's also some alcohol-infused desserts, like the imperial stout chocolate mousse with roasted hazelnuts and whipped cream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customers can unwind in the Old World brick-and-wood ambience of the front or back bars or relax in their outdoors back patio. The Dutch Trappist beer, La Trappe Quadrupel, hails from De Koningshoeven Brewery and packs a sugary punch at 10% ABV. And it's no surprise to find more offerings from Mikkeller, the Danish brewery that's partnered with Stilphen's aforementioned city venture. Mikkeller Big Worse Barleywine is a sweet, honey-like tonic while the crisp, light Belgian Saison Dupont is a refreshing summer beer.

Brotzeit's kitchen utilizes whole animal butchery in preparing their sausages and burgers, and all of their sauerkraut, sauces, pickles and mustards are also housemade. Share the \u003cem>käsespätzle\u003c/em>, a creamy baked version of the German noodle dish with Gruyère cheese sauce, for a filling starter. Then move onto their Brotzeit platter -- choose from one or two sausages from their lengthy list -- with sauerkraut, green beans, radishes and a \"Bretzel\".

While the meat-to-bun ratio is slightly unbalanced with their lamb \u003cem>merguez\u003c/em> wurst sandwich, it's still a palatable option with sauerkraut, pickled red onions and jalapeño.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brozeit Lokal has a rotating menu of German, Belgian and Californian craft beers; if you're feeling extra thirsty, go for a liter of Kolsch or a two-liter boot while you enjoy the view of the Brooklyn Basin.\u003c/p>\n\n",

With long, wooden communal tables and an expansive bar filling up the large, airy space, proprietors Bradford Earle and John Streit run their American-style beer hall under the motto of where \"locavore meets locapour.\" 38 taps of Californian beer and wines flow from the wall behind the bar and pair well with the diverse array of seasonal dishes prepared with locally-sourced ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chef Streit was on the premises, busy expediting the entrees emerging from the kitchen for his patrons. You won't find the usual buffalo chicken wings and nachos bar fare on his whimsical menu, which includes such starters as, \"Fries with Eyes,\" deep-fried Eureka smelt with green garlic aioli, and \"Chokes & Favas,\" marinated artichokes piled on a barley salad with fresh favas, ricotta salata, black olives and a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmaltz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">schmaltz\u003c/a>-fried egg. The fruity triple IPA, \"Dank Statement,\" from the San Francisco-based \u003ca href=\"http://www.cellarmakerbrewing.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cellarmaker Brewing Company\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sierranevada.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sierra Nevada's\u003c/a> \"Southern Hemisphere\" fresh hop IPA are a fine match to these rich appetizers. Prep your palate with the Bay Laurel sour beer from \u003ca href=\"http://www.craftsmanbrewing.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Craftsman Brewing\u003c/a>, which has a sparkly champagne taste with an unusual finish reminiscent of cured meats -- specifically salami. Then you'll be ready to move on to the housemade sausage sandwiches like the \"Istanbul not Constantinople,\" a Middle-Eastern spiced pork sausage with charred nettles and \"Amargallego,\" a pork-and-chicken sausage topped with salsa brava, crispy potatoes and Calabrian chile, nestled between pillowy-soft buns with a side of pickled vegetables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you ate the entire giant pile of lard-fried Kennebec potato chips that accompanied your sausages, try and make room for their noteworthy peach and pretzel fritters with \u003cem>creme anglaise\u003c/em>. My husband and I shared this decadent dessert with one of our table mates, Lauri, a devoted regular of the bar. Both the Old Stock Ale, a barleywine from Ft. Bragg's \u003ca href=\"http://www.northcoastbrewing.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Coast Brewing Company\u003c/a> and \"Carlo's Stout\", an imperial stout from Alameda's \u003ca href=\"http://factionbrewing.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Faction Brewing\u003c/a>, are excellent beers to wash down your sugary treat. By the end of your meal, you'll more than likely be sharing the sentiments shown on the sign around the neck of Theo, the towering carved wooden sculpture of a dancing pig perched on a counter: \"This beer is making me awesome.\" Stay tuned for further developments as brunch and outdoor seating are in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hamburg ex-pats, the husband-and-wife team Kai Flache and Chef Anja Voth, have recreated their childhood favorites with an all-natural approach. Eschewing artificial additives, canned or processed ingredients, even microwaves and deep fryers, this solar-powered restaurant prides itself on preparing everything from scratch -- including yogurt and bread. They also serve sustainably raised fish and meat and use locally grown, organic produce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with offering the largest German beer selection in the Bay Area, they also have plenty of sausage options available on their menu. A substantial starter is their platter of liver sausage and tangy north German butter cheese that comes with a small mixed green salad and orange-honey dressing, grated carrot-thyme salad, roasted beets, pickles and their housebaked Gaumenkitzel whole wheat bread with fresh unsalted butter. Or you could opt for a sausage plate and choose from three \u003cem>Nürnberger bratwürste\u003c/em> sausages, two \u003cem>wiener knackwürste\u003c/em> or one Bavarian white sausage with their housemade potato salad accented with dill. A delicious variation on the classic American combo of mac-and-cheese with hot dogs is the delicatessen \u003cem>wiener knackwürste\u003c/em> on \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A4tzle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spätzle\u003c/a>\u003c/em> dish. This German gnocchi-like pasta is dressed in a housemade mustard and sharp cheddar sauce with slices of \u003cem>wiener knackwürste \u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An easy way to sample their draft beers is through their tasting menu that's served on a map of Germany that indicates their region of origin, or just flip through their sizable beer menu to peruse their collection of bottled beers like the Schönramer Saphir \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bock\u003c/a>, a bright, 8% ABV ale with fruity notes. Or try one of their exclusive imports, the Grevensteiner \u003cem>Kellerbier\u003c/em> (cellar beer) that's an unfiltered, unpasteurized 5.2% ABV pilsner that's reminiscent of caramel and honey. You can also get bottles to go; check out their small shop that's stocked with beer, wine, jams, chocolate and other German foodstuffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While The Trappist doesn't carry the substantial assortment of housemade sausages as Stilphen's recently opened \u003ca href=\"http://www.mikkellerbar.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mikkeller Bar\u003c/a> in San Francisco, they do have two transplants from that establishment: a plump, juicy bratwurst poached in Sculpin IPA with a potato hash and the delectable pastrami sandwich with Gruyère, housemade sauerkraut and dressing on rye. (And it seems he'll be launching a \u003ca href=\"http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2014/03/18/trappist-and-mikkeller-bar-owner-plans-berkeley-bbq-restaurant-perdition-smokehouse/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sausage company that bears the same name\u003c/a> in the near future with Trappist chef Michael O’Brien.) Along with cheese plates and charcuterie, O'Brien cooks up some creative concotions like \"Green Eggs & Eggs\" made with soft-boiled eggs, wasabi, tobiko, Japanese mayonnaise and habanero oil. There's also some alcohol-infused desserts, like the imperial stout chocolate mousse with roasted hazelnuts and whipped cream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customers can unwind in the Old World brick-and-wood ambience of the front or back bars or relax in their outdoors back patio. The Dutch Trappist beer, La Trappe Quadrupel, hails from De Koningshoeven Brewery and packs a sugary punch at 10% ABV. And it's no surprise to find more offerings from Mikkeller, the Danish brewery that's partnered with Stilphen's aforementioned city venture. Mikkeller Big Worse Barleywine is a sweet, honey-like tonic while the crisp, light Belgian Saison Dupont is a refreshing summer beer.

Brotzeit's kitchen utilizes whole animal butchery in preparing their sausages and burgers, and all of their sauerkraut, sauces, pickles and mustards are also housemade. Share the \u003cem>käsespätzle\u003c/em>, a creamy baked version of the German noodle dish with Gruyère cheese sauce, for a filling starter. Then move onto their Brotzeit platter -- choose from one or two sausages from their lengthy list -- with sauerkraut, green beans, radishes and a \"Bretzel\". You can also order a more substantial helping to feed a hungry group; the larger entree can feed between 6-8 people. While the meat-to-bun ratio is slightly unbalanced with their lamb \u003cem>merguez\u003c/em> wurst sandwich, it's still a palatable option with sauerkraut, pickled red onions and jalapeño.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But, where do they all eat? Photo: Trey Ratcliff/Flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So you're visiting San Francisco, or you have out-of-town guests staying in the city and want to point them in the right direction for food. We've compiled a rough guide of San Francisco bites in the downtown area -- since that's where the vast majority of tourists stay and explore. Some of these are classic San Francisco (oysters on the bay, hipster bars, hole-in-the-wall burritos) and some are lesser-known spots that are must-visits because of their tasty food or unique meals. Try some; try all. We're just keeping you on your toes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guide is primarily aimed at downtown San Francisco and divided into quicker eats for lunch, sit-down places for dinner (or a big lunch), coffee and tea spots, and bars. If you want to venture further afield and ride BART a few stops, we've also suggested a few places that you may have heard of or that would make any list of places to visit in the city on the Bay. Use the Google Map at the bottom to find locations and to plan your eating foray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let us know what you think after you try some of these. Or, tell us what we missed that our visitors simply have to eat while they're here.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>FOOD - Lunch, Snacks, Quick Hits\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_81607\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 190px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org/markets\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/7165771078_e776153d10_z-190x190.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Gary Yost Photography for CUESA/Flickr\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-81607\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/cuesa/7165771078/in/photolist-bVds6d-bVdBxj-bVdfnA-cnpfvN-cnV4RN-cnUURs\" target=\"_blank\">Gary Yost/Flickr\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org/markets\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Ferry Building Farmers Market\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Farmers Market,\u003c/em> $$\u003cbr>\nFerry Building Plaza\u003cbr>\n(415) 291-3276\u003cbr>\nTues, Thurs, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Sat, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Why? \u003c/strong>Local farmers sell produce, meat, and cheeses.

We've compiled a rough guide of San Francisco bites in the downtown area -- since that's where the vast majority of tourists stay and explore. Some of these are classic San Francisco (oysters on the bay, hipster bars, hole-in-the-wall burritos) and some are lesser-known spots that are must-visits because of their tasty food or unique meals. Try some; try all. We're just keeping you on your toes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guide is primarily aimed at downtown San Francisco and divided into quicker eats for lunch, sit-down places for dinner (or a big lunch), coffee and tea spots, and bars. If you want to venture further afield and ride BART a few stops, we've also suggested a few places that you may have heard of or that would make any list of places to visit in the city on the Bay. Use the Google Map at the bottom to find locations and to plan your eating foray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let us know what you think after you try some of these. Or, tell us what we missed that our visitors simply have to eat while they're here.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>FOOD - Lunch, Snacks, Quick Hits\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_81607\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 190px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org/markets\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/7165771078_e776153d10_z-190x190.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Gary Yost Photography for CUESA/Flickr\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-81607\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/cuesa/7165771078/in/photolist-bVds6d-bVdBxj-bVdfnA-cnpfvN-cnV4RN-cnUURs\" target=\"_blank\">Gary Yost/Flickr\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org/markets\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Ferry Building Farmers Market\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Farmers Market,\u003c/em> $$\u003cbr>\nFerry Building Plaza\u003cbr>\n(415) 291-3276\u003cbr>\nTues, Thurs, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Sat, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Why? \u003c/strong>Local farmers sell produce, meat, and cheeses.

Hidden away in a tiny strip mall on a hill, this restaurant has a short but dazzling menu of Lao and Thai dishes. One fantastic appetizer is their \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nam_khao\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nam kao\u003c/a>,\u003c/em> a large platter of crispy rice salad that's stir-fried with \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Som_moo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">som moo\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, or sour fermented pork sausage. Wrap the rice in lettuce with fresh herbs, but be careful to leave some room for your entree as these tasty bundles could be a whole meal all by themselves. \u003cem>Kao piak\u003c/em>, a big bowl of chicken soup brimming with homemade rice/tapioca noodles and fried garlic is perfect if you're nursing a cold or in the mood for Southeast Asian comfort food. Unless you're starving, get the medium size; it's a generous portion large enough for two. Another standard Lao noodle soup is \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khao_soi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kao soy\u003c/a>\u003c/em>;\u003cem> \u003c/em>wide,\u003cem> \u003c/em>flat rice noodles swim in a chicken broth topped with spicy minced pork and meatballs. Be sure to see what's on their list of specials as well.

Many of the Lao dishes -- listed under a special section of their menu -- are prepared at least medium spicy if you don't specify otherwise, so get ready to fan the sweat off your brow during dinner (and order a basket of sticky rice to help cool your palate.)

The juicy slices of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lao_sausage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">xay kok\u003c/a>, or Lao pork sausage, is bursting with a variety of flavors from lemongrass to shallots.

Formerly a grocery store, That Luang Kitchen's menu proudly announces that the demand for their popular papaya salad and other prepared food allowed them to gradually transform their space into a restaurant. You'll often find quail dishes on Lao menus, and they offer up a crispy fried quail appetizer with sweet and sour sauce. Their platter of \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Som_moo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nam\u003c/a>\u003c/em> is a mild, gelatinous pork sausage, often included in other dishes (like the aforementioned crispy rice salad from Sue's Kitchen). Be sure to try their red curry with your choice of chicken or fish and Thai eggplant, bamboo shoots, basil and coconut milk. It's light and fragrant, reminiscent of fresh curries you'd find sold by street vendors in Thailand or Laos; soak it up with bites of sticky rice.

While it no longer seems to serve soul food -- previous reviews have noted barbecued ribs, black-eyed peas and other Southern favorites on the menu -- it now focuses on a wide array of Thai and Lao dishes. Two fried appetizers that you dip into \u003cem>nam chim kai\u003c/em> are \u003cem>sien savahn\u003c/em>, a deep-fried beef jerky flecked with sesame seeds and \u003cem>muk tod\u003c/em>, or fried calamari.

On weekends, they sell a variety of flavorful pre-packaged curries, salads, rice dishes and desserts made by local cooks. Most are labeled in Thai, so feel free to ask for a description if you have any questions about what's inside the plastic containers.

This bakery is one of those local gems that will make you skeptical that there's no butter, cream or other dairy-based ingredients used in their rich, decadent confections. And you’ll find no stale doughnuts here; all of their baked goods are prepared fresh daily from organic ingredients. If you’re in the mood for something more substantial, they serve up excellent lunches and weekend brunch, too. Try their breakfast burrito or a bowl of their homemade granola with fresh fruit and your choice of soy or hemp milk. You can also find their doughnuts at \u003ca href=\"http://www.pepplesdonuts.com/locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">select locations\u003c/a> in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pepplesdonuts.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pepples Donut Farm\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n6037 San Pablo Ave. [\u003ca href=\"http://goo.gl/g0zCyu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94608\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 338-6319\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Fri 7:30am-3pm; Sat-Sun 9am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pepples-Donuts/31322732286#/pages/Pepples-Donuts/31322732286\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pepples Donuts\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/vegan_donuts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@vegan_donuts\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $ (Entrees $10 and under)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
