Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

"bio": "Patrick is a Seattle native who grew up in a very food-centric family. His father owns a restaurant supply company, his two older sisters are former owners of a successful restaurant in Seattle's International District, and Patrick thinks his mother and grandmother are the best cooks in the world.\r\n\r\nAs editor of a food travel magazine in college and eating his way through New York City and Europe, it for some reason took him a long time to realize he wanted to work professionally in food. After trying to make it in television news in the Bay Area, he realized he hated it and ran for the world of food. Since then, Patrick has been able to combine his journalism chops with his love of food, dining, and cooking into lead marketing roles at several Bay Area food start-ups. Currently, he is the Brand Director for Roli Roti and is the video producer for restaurant podcast, Menu Stories and co-founder of food-inspired streetwear line, Mother Sauce. Patrick is also a contributing writer/photographer/videographer for Thrillist SF, Eater SF, SF Gate, and Tastemade.",

The former Jack’s Oyster Bar & Fish House has been transformed into a unique location that feels like a Thai tropical island oasis on the patio (complete with umbrellas and bamboo and room for 40—and it’s right on the waterfront). Inside, it’s like a lively Bangkok restaurant, with fun floral displays (matched by the floral patterned chairs and colorful server attire), a long marble bar, and music from Thai variety shows and more. It’s a playful and uplifting design with room for 65, and just wait for the show when it’s a guest’s birthday!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130013\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Farmhouse-Oak-dining-e1533579182684.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful floral chairs and whimsical plates add to the playful dining room atmosphere.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130013\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Colorful floral chairs and whimsical plates add to the playful dining room atmosphere. \u003ccite>(Farmhouse Oakland)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Chef and owner Kasem “Pop” Saengsawang (with co-owner and wife Ling Chatterjee) have created a very special atmosphere and authentically Thai feeling in their restaurant. For anyone who has traveled to Thailand, the friendly hospitality and kindness here will feel like a good snuggle session with your favorite fuzzy sweater. And for anyone who hasn’t been to Thailand, the warmth and genuine kindness here will inspire you to book a ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extensive menu is ideal for sharing—that way you can explore more, with dishes spanning from the north to the south of Thailand. Starters include can’t-miss dishes like their springy and flavor-packed Thai fish cake (fried fish cake with white fish, Makrut lime, red curry paste, sliced long bean, cucumber-peanut relish; $10) and their sticky Farmhouse wings (fried organic wings, fish sauce, garlic, chile-plum sauce; $15). Anyone who likes tuna tartare or poke will need to experience the kicky Thai update here: the Esan-style Par Dip fresh tuna ($14), made with diced maguro tuna, green onion, cilantro, dill, long coriander, dehydrated chile, and wonton chips—it’s like a love child of tuna tartare and larb and you will eat every last bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the spice and heat of the dishes are creeping up on you, fortunately, they have a full bar, with refreshing cocktails like the Thai Mule made with ginger and pineapple (on draft, $10) and the Summer Spritz, with Aperol, sparkling wine, pressed grapefruit, and lemongrass simple syrup ($12). You’ll find Thai ingredients and flavors in the House Gin (which is a light blue from its infusion of anchan, the butterfly pea flower; $12) and the zippy Fresh Curry ($13), made with local St. George green chile vodka, ginger puree, lemongrass, lime, and basil. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thailand is known for their unique salads, and you’ll find four kinds on the menu, from a Bangkok-style herbal rice salad to my personal favorite, Nam Khao Tod, another version of a rice salad made with Thai fermented pork sausage. Noodle soups, yup, they have those too. And if you have to have your Pad Thai, they make an elevated version with grilled river prawns ($24.95).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130014\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1863px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken.jpg\" alt=\"The Hat Yai fried chicken comes with tender roti and yellow potato curry.\" width=\"1863\" height=\"1242\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130014\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken.jpg 1863w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/farmhouse-Hat-Yai-Fried-Chicken-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1863px) 100vw, 1863px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Hat Yai fried chicken comes with tender roti and yellow potato curry. \u003ccite>(Farmhouse Oakland)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A couple trademark Farmhouse favorite dishes are on the menu here, like their Hat Yai Fried Chicken ($22.50), made Southern Thai style, with Mary’s organic chicken, turmeric, herbs, fried shallots, blue rice on the side, and the best part is the roti bread that you dip into the silky potato yellow curry. The Panang Neua ($27.50) is a fork-tender, slow-braised short-rib on the bone, topped with a rich Panang curry, a childhood favorite for chef Pop.

The whole thing gets pressed into a golden sandwich combo.

The former Jack’s Oyster Bar & Fish House has been transformed into a unique location that feels like a Thai tropical island oasis on the patio (complete with umbrellas and bamboo and room for 40—and it’s right on the waterfront). Inside, it’s like a lively Bangkok restaurant, with fun floral displays (matched by the floral patterned chairs and colorful server attire), a long marble bar, and music from Thai variety shows and more. It’s a playful and uplifting design with room for 65, and just wait for the show when it’s a guest’s birthday!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130013\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Farmhouse-Oak-dining-e1533579182684.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful floral chairs and whimsical plates add to the playful dining room atmosphere.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130013\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Colorful floral chairs and whimsical plates add to the playful dining room atmosphere. \u003ccite>(Farmhouse Oakland)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Chef and owner Kasem “Pop” Saengsawang (with co-owner and wife Ling Chatterjee) have created a very special atmosphere and authentically Thai feeling in their restaurant.

And for anyone who hasn’t been to Thailand, the warmth and genuine kindness here will inspire you to book a ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extensive menu is ideal for sharing—that way you can explore more, with dishes spanning from the north to the south of Thailand. Starters include can’t-miss dishes like their springy and flavor-packed Thai fish cake (fried fish cake with white fish, Makrut lime, red curry paste, sliced long bean, cucumber-peanut relish; $10) and their sticky Farmhouse wings (fried organic wings, fish sauce, garlic, chile-plum sauce; $15). Anyone who likes tuna tartare or poke will need to experience the kicky Thai update here: the Esan-style Par Dip fresh tuna ($14), made with diced maguro tuna, green onion, cilantro, dill, long coriander, dehydrated chile, and wonton chips—it’s like a love child of tuna tartare and larb and you will eat every last bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You’ll find Thai ingredients and flavors in the House Gin (which is a light blue from its infusion of anchan, the butterfly pea flower; $12) and the zippy Fresh Curry ($13), made with local St. George green chile vodka, ginger puree, lemongrass, lime, and basil. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thailand is known for their unique salads, and you’ll find four kinds on the menu, from a Bangkok-style herbal rice salad to my personal favorite, Nam Khao Tod, another version of a rice salad made with Thai fermented pork sausage.

The Panang Neua ($27.50) is a fork-tender, slow-braised short-rib on the bone, topped with a rich Panang curry, a childhood favorite for chef Pop.

Knowing that, we say drink up, and clink your glasses to more cocktails with all the flavor and none of the hangover. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Spice and Everything Nice\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://truelaurelsf.com/\">True Laurel\u003c/a> / \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/True+Laurel/@37.7595126,-122.411448,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x654f83ac573dce90!8m2!3d37.7595126!4d-122.411448\">753 Alabama St, San Francisco, CA 94110\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129985\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice.jpg\" alt=\"Pear vinegar and chamomile are also mixed into the Spice and Everything Nice\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129985\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-800x542.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-768x520.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-1020x691.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-1200x813.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-1180x799.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-960x650.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-240x163.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-375x254.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-520x352.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pear vinegar and chamomile are mixed into the Spice and Everything Nice. \u003ccite>(Patrick Wong)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>True Laurel’s bar manager, Nicolas Torres takes advantage of Seedlip, a distilled non-alcoholic spirit, to make the Spice and Everything Nice.

Don't worry, we've also pulled some regularly proofed cocktails too for when you might want that drink after a particularly stressful day in the office. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low-proof drinks aren't anything new to the Bay Area. They showed up years ago, particularly on restaurant drink and bar menus to satisfy diners' desires to indulge in a drink without having to worry about the impending buzz, feeling of fullness, and the possible distortion of their palettes during a meal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Presently, establishments continue to take advantage of fortified wines and unfortified drinks as well as newly developed non-alcoholic distilled spirits to lower a drink's proof without sacrificing on flavor. Knowing that, we say drink up, and clink your glasses to more cocktails with all the flavor and none of the hangover. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Spice and Everything Nice\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://truelaurelsf.com/\">True Laurel\u003c/a> / \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/True+Laurel/@37.7595126,-122.411448,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x654f83ac573dce90!8m2!3d37.7595126!4d-122.411448\">753 Alabama St, San Francisco, CA 94110\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129985\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice.jpg\" alt=\"Pear vinegar and chamomile are also mixed into the Spice and Everything Nice\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129985\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-800x542.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-768x520.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-1020x691.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-1200x813.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-1180x799.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-960x650.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-240x163.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-375x254.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Pear-vinegar-and-chamomile-are-also-mixed-into-the-Spice-and-Everything-Nice-520x352.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pear vinegar and chamomile are mixed into the Spice and Everything Nice. \u003ccite>(Patrick Wong)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>True Laurel’s bar manager, Nicolas Torres takes advantage of Seedlip, a distilled non-alcoholic spirit, to make the Spice and Everything Nice.

Plus, you’ll find a couple larger meaty mains while children will be obsessed with the wall of imported Swedish candy (Lördagsgodis), which will be sold in bulk to good little boys and girls.

This project is decidedly more casual and family-friendly, with counter service and an extensive menu that spans influences from Roberth’s native Sweden, along with Middle Eastern wraps and kebab plates, German sausages, and other dishes that make up the street food scene in Stockholm. There are big salads and numerous small dishes and sides, from grilled halloumi (made of sheep’s milk) with chermoula and purslane to shrimp skagen (a Swedish shrimp salad) with avocado brioche and chili horseradish, so you can really make your own dream spread. Plus, you’ll find a couple larger meaty mains while children will be obsessed with the wall of imported Swedish candy (Lördagsgodis), which will be sold in bulk to good little boys and girls. There are 40 seats in the dining area, and 10 in a private dining room, with Swedish wallpaper and many other nods to Swedish design.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Escape to McEvoy Ranch for a Unique Afternoon Experience\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mcevoyranch.com/\">McEvoy Ranch\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/XLnYAmW3qJH2\">5935 Red Hill Road, Petaluma\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSunday, August 12, 11am–2:30pm\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.mcevoyranch.com/social-club/events/ancient-rhythms-ancient-grains/\">Tickets\u003c/a>: $135 per person ($95 per person for Social Club Members)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129938\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/olive-tree-landscape-palms-1-e1532724306980.jpg\" alt=\"The stunning grounds (and olive trees) at McEvoy Ranch.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1237\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129938\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The stunning grounds (and olive trees) at McEvoy Ranch. \u003ccite>(McEvoy Ranch)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Want an excuse to go to a gorgeous place?

"content": "\u003cp>Vegetarian and vegan restaurants are abundant in the Bay Area where people tend to be conscious of the benefits of plant-based diets. Besides potential health benefits there are the ethical issues of eating animals and animal byproducts, as well as spiritual practices that involve abstaining from meat to purify the body, mind and spirit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a vegetarian/vegan it is comforting to go to a restaurant devoted to a purely plant-based diet. You have full access to all menu items and don’t need to be concerned about meat coming into contact with your food. There tends to be a greater awareness of the art of vegetarian cooking – combining foods to present a balanced and wholesome meal that doesn't leave you hungry or craving sugar from a lack of protein and carb overload. When eating at vegetarian-friendly spots that also serve meat, there is a tendency to be vigilant to ensure that the few menu items are truly animal-free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129542\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new.jpg\" alt=\"On my walk to the Mission I came upon this sign steering me in the right direction.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129542\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3558-new-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On my walk to the Mission I came upon this sign steering me in the right direction. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I was on a mission in SF’s Mission to find lunch at vegetarian/vegan restaurants serving a variety of cuisines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I found four worthwhile spots:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Beloved Café\u003c/strong>, which I will highlight, is an organic and mostly vegan café that incorporates the concept of superfoods with herbalism, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda\">Ayurveda\u003c/a>, and a belief that food is medicine.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Udupi Palace\u003c/strong>, a vegetarian Southern Indian restaurant.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Cha-Ya\u003c/strong>, a vegan Japanese sushi and noodle spot.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Gracias Madre\u003c/strong>, a vegan Mexican restaurant from the folks that own Café Gratitude and Be.Love.Farm.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.belovedsf.com/\">Beloved Café, Juice & Tea\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Beloved+Natural+Cafe+%26+Organic+Juicery/@37.752495,-122.420519,17.65z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e40bae0cdbf:0xf1e512c17d1105b8!8m2!3d37.7524063!4d-122.4192745\">3338 24th St, San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129527\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new.jpg\" alt=\"The entrance to the Beloved Café.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129527\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/IMG_3440-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The entrance to the Beloved Café. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I fell in love with Beloved Café.

Besides potential health benefits there are the ethical issues of eating animals and animal byproducts, as well as spiritual practices that involve abstaining from meat to purify the body, mind and spirit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a vegetarian/vegan it is comforting to go to a restaurant devoted to a purely plant-based diet. You have full access to all menu items and don’t need to be concerned about meat coming into contact with your food. There tends to be a greater awareness of the art of vegetarian cooking – combining foods to present a balanced and wholesome meal that doesn't leave you hungry or craving sugar from a lack of protein and carb overload.

Taking a bite before it’s been immortalized on Instagram is pretty much a cardinal sin. Gone are the days when a well-thumbed copy of Zagat served as the restaurant bible. Today, #foodtrends and #foodporn are the new guiding principles. But, in the ever expanding Instagram universe, it’s hard to keep track of what’s new and what’s old: one day, unicorn cake and cloud eggs are hot; the next, they’re not. To give you a taste of the latest foodie fad, we’ve rounded up the new kids on the block: the hottest Instagram food trends (at least at this particular moment) and where to find them in Sonoma County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Impossible Burger\u003c/strong>: This burger is the real deal. Well, sort of. Crafted from wheat, coconut oil, and potatoes, it is bound to make even a carnivore drool. The secret ingredient? Heme - a molecule that gives ground beef its color and taste (when derived from blood's hemoglobin) but that can also be found in plants.

Taking a bite before it’s been immortalized on Instagram is pretty much a cardinal sin. Gone are the days when a well-thumbed copy of Zagat served as the restaurant bible. Today, #foodtrends and #foodporn are the new guiding principles. But, in the ever expanding Instagram universe, it’s hard to keep track of what’s new and what’s old: one day, unicorn cake and cloud eggs are hot; the next, they’re not. To give you a taste of the latest foodie fad, we’ve rounded up the new kids on the block: the hottest Instagram food trends (at least at this particular moment) and where to find them in Sonoma County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Impossible Burger\u003c/strong>: This burger is the real deal. Well, sort of. Crafted from wheat, coconut oil, and potatoes, it is bound to make even a carnivore drool. The secret ingredient? Heme - a molecule that gives ground beef its color and taste (when derived from blood's hemoglobin) but that can also be found in plants. Plant heme makes the Impossible Burger not only taste but smell, sizzle, and cook like, you guessed it, angus beef. Don't believe us?

Over the past ten years our plans for the future have taken shape with the Diner — as have our personal and family goals — and so today we are closing the doors on what we consider to be a very successful chapter,” said the Instagram post from \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BkjA4k2Bjkf/?taken-by=thefremontdiner\">@thefremontdiner\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we’re closing the diner doors today, the oven is still hot.

Please stay tuned and thank you for joining us at the table,” the Instagram post continued, with a final “Thank you sonoma.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what does that mean, exactly? It seems the couple now have two irons in the fire, with revamping the existing space into a new restaurant concept and a second restaurant concept in downtown Sonoma that’s in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, they announced \u003ca href=\"http://www.sonomanews.com/news/7104312-181/sonoma-to-lose-a-gas\">plans to open a second restaurant in the town of Sonoma in 2017\u003c/a>, purchasing a .56 acre lot that currently houses the Union 76 gas station at 899 Broadway. The City of Sonoma Planning Commission had approved their application to make significant renovations to the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are still working on the gas station and are waiting on environmental clean up to be finished before we can proceed,” said Erika Harris. She added that the gas station was on a month-to-month lease and recently decided to terminate that lease at the end of June. On the same day as the Fremont Diner closure, a sign at the gas station confirmed the information, saying: “Gas business closing down for good limited hours now ’til June 30.” Signs for the Union 76 were being removed as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fremont Diner opened in 2009, oozing \u003cspan class=\"s2\">nouveau decrepitude, a heavy dose of John Deere chic and the irresistible lure of a butter and pork-soaked menu that brought travelers by the thousands. Located at the halfway point between the Sonoma and Napa Valleys, it became a media darling for its Southern-inspired dishes including biscuits and gravy, grits, pies and Nashville fried chicken.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129220\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/FREMONTDINER065_772478-1024x682-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken biscuit and ham biscuit from Fremont Diner in Sonoma. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129220\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/FREMONTDINER065_772478-1024x682-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/FREMONTDINER065_772478-1024x682-1024x682-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/FREMONTDINER065_772478-1024x682-1024x682-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/FREMONTDINER065_772478-1024x682-1024x682-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/FREMONTDINER065_772478-1024x682-1024x682-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/FREMONTDINER065_772478-1024x682-1024x682-960x639.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/FREMONTDINER065_772478-1024x682-1024x682-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/FREMONTDINER065_772478-1024x682-1024x682-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/FREMONTDINER065_772478-1024x682-1024x682-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chicken biscuit and ham biscuit from Fremont Diner in Sonoma. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Sonoma Magazine)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With gushing reviews from the likes of Michael Bauer, Oprah Magazine and Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop magazine, along with drool-worthy social media posts, the diner became a must-stop on many Wine Country itineraries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with the diner grub, Harris sold local jams, jellies and sauces, coveted Rancho Gordo Beans, “throwback” sodas and other regional goodies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During last fall’s wildfires, it was widely reported that the diner had burned, causing equal panic and alarm, though rumors of their demise were quickly debunked.

You’ll get to taste through many vintages of this highly sought-after whiskey at a deep discount every Monday night. Be sure to pick up a Pappy Pass, and taste your way through all seven vintages (from 10-year to 25-year) to earn a free dinner for two (not to exceed $200).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129155\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1500px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996.jpg\" alt=\"Pork and pinot lovers won’t want to miss High on the Hog at EPIC Steak.\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129155\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996.jpg 1500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pork and pinot lovers won’t want to miss High on the Hog at EPIC Steak. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of EPIC Steak)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>An Afternoon of Pork and Pinot Noir and More\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/\">\u003cstrong>EPIC Steak\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/XZjU7TMg6Uv\">369 The Embarcadero South, San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSunday, July 1, 1pm–4pm\u003cbr>\n$85 per person\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/current-events\">Tickets/info\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pig and pinot noir are usually a crowd-pleasing combo, which is why \u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/\">\u003cstrong>EPIC Steak\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> is now on their tenth year of hosting their annual \u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/current-events\">\u003cstrong>High on the Hog\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> event.

The first is a more traditional kind of happy hour, but the deal feels like 2001 prices: Monday–Friday, come by from 5pm–6pm for five different cocktails and five dishes for just $5 each, inspired by the book \u003cem>The Gentleman’s Companion\u003c/em>, by Charles H. Baker. There’s Remember the Maine, made with rye, sweet vermouth, cherry heering, and absinthe, and $5 bites like the ‘Toga Tots with Fiscalini cheddar and chorizo, shishito peppers with cherry tomato and miso glaze, and seven-spice chicken or cheeseburger sliders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re a \u003cstrong>Pappy Van Winkle\u003c/strong> bourbon fan, or you’ve just always wanted to taste it, you’ll want to come by for Pappy Days on Monday nights. Barman Brandon Clements and his team spent the last 10 years collecting one of the largest spirits libraries in the United States, and Van Winkle’s bourbons are widely considered the best in the world. You’ll get to taste through many vintages of this highly sought-after whiskey at a deep discount every Monday night. Be sure to pick up a Pappy Pass, and taste your way through all seven vintages (from 10-year to 25-year) to earn a free dinner for two (not to exceed $200).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129155\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1500px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996.jpg\" alt=\"Pork and pinot lovers won’t want to miss High on the Hog at EPIC Steak.\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129155\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996.jpg 1500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pork and pinot lovers won’t want to miss High on the Hog at EPIC Steak. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of EPIC Steak)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>An Afternoon of Pork and Pinot Noir and More\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/\">\u003cstrong>EPIC Steak\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/XZjU7TMg6Uv\">369 The Embarcadero South, San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSunday, July 1, 1pm–4pm\u003cbr>\n$85 per person\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/current-events\">Tickets/info\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Second course options include Alaskan halibut with asparagus cream, hazelnut-flavored endive, and squid ink focaccia, or braised veal cheeks with sautéed potatoes and light eggplant parmigiana.

This citrusy soy sauce makes what could be cloyingly rich into something with depth and character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129034\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/HI0618_SAKE107_MELTYROLL-1024x751.jpg\" alt=\"Melts in your mouth roll at Sake 107 in Petaluma.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"751\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129034\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/HI0618_SAKE107_MELTYROLL-1024x751.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/HI0618_SAKE107_MELTYROLL-1024x751-160x117.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/HI0618_SAKE107_MELTYROLL-1024x751-800x587.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/HI0618_SAKE107_MELTYROLL-1024x751-768x563.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/HI0618_SAKE107_MELTYROLL-1024x751-1020x748.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/HI0618_SAKE107_MELTYROLL-1024x751-960x704.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/HI0618_SAKE107_MELTYROLL-1024x751-240x176.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/HI0618_SAKE107_MELTYROLL-1024x751-375x275.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/HI0618_SAKE107_MELTYROLL-1024x751-520x381.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Melts in your mouth roll at Sake 107 in Petaluma. \u003ccite>(Heather Irwin)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Overall:\u003c/strong> Seriously awesome sushi and izayaki in downtown Petaluma that reminds us of what great Japanese food can really taste like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sake 107, 107 Petaluma Blvd N., Petaluma, 241-7580,\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://sake107.com/\">\u003cem>sake107.com\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

That’s like comparing Little Caesar’s to a fresh wood-fired pizza made with 00 flour, fresh mozzarella and basil by a trained pizzaolo. No contest, because when you start with the bad stuff, there’s little impetus to actually try the good stuff. Strawberry Hill Boone’s Farm ain’t prepping you for the wonders of a single vineyard Flowers chardonnay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s tragic is that a buttery piece of fiercely fresh tuna belly or fresh salmon handled by a trained sushi chef can be an absolute game changer. It’s also very rare and worth seeking out. We’ve found just that at Sake 107 in Petaluma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Open nearly a year, the buzz has steadily grown for Chef Eiji Ando, a Hana Japanese alum who has dedicated his life to the craft. It’s awe-inspiring to watch the flicking of his hands as he shapes the seasoned rice and fish into a single perfect bite, and perfect isn’t a word we use lightly when it comes to nigiri. God help you if you are gauche enough to dunk it in soy sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ando watches me instinctively pour soy sauce into a dish, saying everything by saying nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
