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.",

I want to take in the length of Minette's whiskers, the shape and color of her eyes, every last morsel of food, and marvel over how Bates managed Julia's distinctive face and unruly hair.

I want to take in the length of Minette's whiskers, the shape and color of her eyes, every last morsel of food, and marvel over how Bates managed Julia's distinctive face and unruly hair. For his part, Bug just wants to get to the page where Minette chases a Brussels sprout tied to her tail.

The slim Woods, who says he drinks about 4-5 beers a day on average (and Coelho admits to 2 or 3 beers daily), says \"I've lost a lot of weight since we started.

Recommended pairing: Champiñones empanada, which contains fresh, seasonal, local, organic mushrooms by \u003ca href=\"http://www.farwestfungi.com/\">Far West Fungi\u003c/a>, shallots, Parmesan cheese, and crème fraîche.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/beerswithbottles560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/beerswithbottles560.jpg\" alt=\"bottled mateveza\" title=\"bottled mateveza\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43241\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>The draught beers also come in bottles.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_43244\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/4jimmate300.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/4jimmate300.jpg\" alt=\"Jim Mate\" title=\"Jim Mate\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43244\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u003cem>Woods enjoying a yerba mate.\u003c/em>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The loose-leaf \"tea,\" which is actually the leaves of a tree in the holly family, goes into the mixture during the mash, which is then gently warmed to about 150 degrees Fahrenheit. \"It's like steeping the tea by mashing and warming the grain,\" explains Coelho. \"Then, you're basically boiling this [naturally] sugary tea water, which is used as a bittering agent before fermentation.\" Unlike many traditional beermaking processes, the hops gets added in at the end of the fermentation cycle, purely for aromatics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to a changing selection of the MateVeza beers that are brewed at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mendobrew.com/\">Mendocino Brewing Company\u003c/a> on tap, there is a carefully curated selection of bottled beers from Europe and the US, which ranges from the hard-to-find like \"\u003ca href=\"http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1141/15760\">Rigor Mortis\u003c/a>\" to more \"sessionable\" beers, which is brewmaster speak for beers with lighter body and less alcohol that can be drunk with...less moderation.

The yucca fries with the creamy aioli seemed like a standard starter dish aimed to appeal to the general public, while the sikil pak was somewhat bland.

She found her tamale to be too mushy and wished it had a creamier, more polenta-like texture; there was also an underwhelming amount of rajas and other fillings inside. The mole tasted too strongly of tomato and not enough chocolate essence and spices for her liking, and the beans, while garnished with \u003cem>queso blanco\u003c/em>, were just average. We both loved the quesadilla which has a pleasant blend of gently bitter and sweet tastes. The carnitas were tender and juicy, but I would have preferred to have more meat and less of the pickled onions and fennel slaw, which were heaped on top with too-large chunks of orange. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2960.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2960-e1336410852129.jpg\" alt=\"dinner\" title=\"dinner\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42934\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the dinner didn't quite measure up against one of our beloved Mexican restaurants in Oakland, \u003ca href=\"http://www.donatomas.com/\">Doña Tomás\u003c/a>, the food was good overall.

One gentlemen remarked that he'd heard plenty of thought had been put into the \u003ca href=\"http://www.urbandaddy.com/sfo/nightlife/17916/Comal_A_Sexy_New_Cantina_in_Berkeley_San_Francisco_SFO_Downtown_Restaurant\">sound quality of the dining space\u003c/a>, perhaps no surprise since the owner, John Paluska, spent over 20 years managing the band \u003ca href=\"http://phish.com/\">Phish\u003c/a> before embarking on his new career as restauranteur. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2934.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2934-e1336410748601.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen\" title=\"kitchen\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42920\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We began with thick-cut yucca fries and with chipotle aioli ($5), and \u003ca href=\"http://ranchogordo.typepad.com/rancho_gordo_experiments_/2008/06/sikil-pak-or-pumpkin-seed-dip.html\">\u003cem>sikil pak\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, a Mayan pumpkin seed dip traditionally made with roasted tomatoes (pak translates to tomato) ($6.50). Chef Gandin (former chef de cuisine at \u003ca href=\"http://www.delfinasf.com/\">Delfina\u003c/a> whose background includes pursuing a doctoral degree in Latin American history and a short stint in Michoacán) opted to use grilled eggplant in lieu of the tomato, although I'm guessing this dish may evolve once tomatoes come into season in the Bay Area as the menu draws upon local and seasonal ingredients. The yucca fries with the creamy aioli seemed like a standard starter dish aimed to appeal to the general public, while the sikil pak was somewhat bland. But the freshly made tortilla chips and three salsas that came with the dip livened it up, particularly the chipotle salsa that gave it a little kick. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2950.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2950-e1336410510546.jpg\" alt=\"yucca fries\" title=\"yucca fries\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42928\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2951.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2951-e1336410535632.jpg\" alt=\"sikil pak\" title=\"sikil pak\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42929\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were several other appetizers that seemed tempting -- the local King Salmon ceviche, \u003cem>tripe guisado\u003c/em> and Pt.

We chose the squash blossom, epazote and salsa verde quesadilla ($9), but were disappointed that they must have run out of the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_smut\">cuitlacoche\u003c/a>\u003c/em> version that was listed on the daily menu posted on their website. We also ordered the potato, rajas, chayote tamale ($8) and a side of midnight black beans de olla ($4). The server was happy to accomodate Pamela's request to have it sauced with mole negro as well, which came with the Fulton Valley chicken tamale. We rounded up the meal with the Berkshire pork carnitas, orange-fennel slaw, salsa verde ($10). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2956.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2956-e1336410629177.jpg\" alt=\"tamale\" title=\"tamale \" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42931\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2957.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2957-e1336410595522.jpg\" alt=\"tacos\" title=\"tacos\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42932\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2955.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2955-e1336410670458.jpg\" alt=\"quesadilla\" title=\"quesadilla\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42930\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we waited for our food, we couldn't help but admire our neighbors's platter of spit-roasted chicken, which would be perfect to share amongst a large group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2946.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2946-e1336410695492.jpg\" alt=\"chicken\" title=\"chicken\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42927\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A native Chilean and daughter of a retired professional chef (and a talented home cook herself), Pamela is a fairly discerning eater -- particularly when it comes to Latin American cuisine. She found her tamale to be too mushy and wished it had a creamier, more polenta-like texture; there was also an underwhelming amount of rajas and other fillings inside. The mole tasted too strongly of tomato and not enough chocolate essence and spices for her liking, and the beans, while garnished with \u003cem>queso blanco\u003c/em>, were just average. We both loved the quesadilla which has a pleasant blend of gently bitter and sweet tastes. The carnitas were tender and juicy, but I would have preferred to have more meat and less of the pickled onions and fennel slaw, which were heaped on top with too-large chunks of orange. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2960.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2960-e1336410852129.jpg\" alt=\"dinner\" title=\"dinner\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42934\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the dinner didn't quite measure up against one of our beloved Mexican restaurants in Oakland, \u003ca href=\"http://www.donatomas.com/\">Doña Tomás\u003c/a>, the food was good overall. The service from our congenial server and the staff was impeccable, and despite the busy dinner rush, we were attended to quickly and always with charm and warmth. We'll definitely be back once the large patio opens (it can accomodate over 100 diners year-round), and I predict it will be a much sought-after spot in the upcoming summer months. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2922-e1336410030828.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/IMG_2922-e1336410030828.jpg\" alt=\"patio\" title=\"patio\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42917\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.comalberkeley.com\">Comal\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2020 Shattuck Avenue (at University Ave.)\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPhone: 510.926.6300\u003cbr>\nHours: 5:30 to late, with weekend brunch to follow down the road\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/comalberkeley\">Facebook\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/#!/comalrestaurant\">@comalrestaurant\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Beattie, whose recent consulting projects have included designing the cocktail programs for \u003ca href=\"http://www.hogandrocks.com/\">Hog & Rocks\u003c/a> and Healdsburg's \u003ca href=\"http://www.h2hotel.com/spoonbar/\">Spoonbar\u003c/a>, has created a list that is both innovative and familiar. Beattie is also familiar with the layout of the land, so to speak--he tended bar at the Martini House way back in 2001. Drinks like the \"Bali Spice Old Fashioned,\" featuring \u003ca href=\"http://www.stgeorgespirits.com/\">St. George\u003c/a> bourbon, orange, cinnamon, clove, and star anise, are so good that you won't want to put them down to have wine with dinner. Goose & Gander is the first restaurant in St. Helena to serve whiskey drinks with \"proper\" ice--large, hand-carved globes in the Japanese style that nearly fill the entire glass, ensuring that the quality liquor does not get too watered-down. The \"Cucumber Collins,\" with Square One cucumber Vodka, lemon, yuzu, huckleberries, and both fresh and pickled cucumbers is also a winner. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wines, mostly a local selection of smaller names, are nothing to sneeze at--a second-label \u003ca href=\"http://www.dumol.com/\">DuMol\u003c/a> Chardonnay stood out, although it was somewhat interestingly paired with meatballs--but they take the backseat to the cocktail program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The redesigned building is as comfortable and unpretentious as the food. The outdoor garden area is slated to open in late spring, but the downstairs bar is convivial and the upstairs dining room is welcoming and feels more open than the former decor. Red-leather seating booths and reclaimed redwood tables add to the \"duck club\" vibe, iron fowl knicknackery adorn the restaurant--but not to excess. Interestingly, Goose & Gander is as of now the only place to serve \u003ca href=\"http://www.panevino-napa.com/david_bio.htm\">Panevino's David Katz's\u003c/a> crazy-good salumi offerings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morsels like duck prosciutto, lamb chorizo, and Provençal salumi dusted with fennel pollen rocked my socks off. Katz's salumi will be available soon for retail purchase, but you can only get it at Goose & Gander for right now.

The four-part series on systems kicks off with its first episode on food on April 11 (subsequent programs tackle energy, transport, and industry).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 56-minute program is hosted by the Bay Area native \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yul_Kwon\">Yul Kwon\u003c/a>, a former Survivor winner, among his eclectic accomplishments. Okay, let's get some of the others out of the way: He's been featured in an issue of \u003cem>People\u003c/em>'s \"Sexiest Man Alive.\" A lawyer by training, a graduate of Stanford and Yale, he helped draft the Homeland Security bill, worked for the Federal Communications Commission, and is a now a \"daredevil television host,\" according to his bio. Oh, and he opened a \u003ca href=\"http://www.diablomag.com/Diablo-Magazine/June-2009/Yul-Kwon-Comes-Home/\">yogurt shop in Walnut Creek\u003c/a>, his childhood hometown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless, this reviewer has one question for the good people of programming at PBS: What were you thinking?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The episode plays like propaganda (at first I wondered if it was going to morph into mockumentary-like parody, alas no). Everything is bigger and better in this great United States of America, \u003ca href=\"http://www.liontv.com/London/Home\">Lion Television\u003c/a>, who produced the series, would have viewers believe. (The program is based on an award-winning BBC series \u003cem>Britain from Above\u003c/em>, by the independent production company, which has offices in the U.S. and the UK.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can practically taste the awe at the sheer scale of things in this land from our brothers and sisters across the pond. America Revealed is beamed at you via bright lights, aerial footage, high-definition video, real-time satellite data -- in other words, a bunch of high-tech bells and whistles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's Kwon who takes to the skies -- a lot -- to illustrate, well, to illustrate what exactly? Oh, yeah, this is a vast and complex country. And: I am a sexy survivor who skydives. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/P9tNcmcoJkE\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the last century, an American industrial revolution has given rise to the biggest, most productive food machine the world has ever known, the show announces. Look at our marvels of engineering magic that allow 80 percent of the state of California's water to go directly to Central Valley farms -- in an area that was previously a desert -- to produce 50 percent of the entire country's fruits, nuts, and vegetables. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Might there be anything misguided about redirecting all that precious water? Just curious. But there's no time for controversy here, we're simply going to tell you how it is, with a grin, and move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The episode also explores how the U.S. food system feeds nearly 300 million Americans every day -- an impressive feat for sure -- at a time when less than two percent of the population produces food for the other 98 percent. Well, hello \u003ca href=\"http://grist.org/food/despite-the-headlines-big-ag-subsidies-arent-going-anywhere/\">Big Ag\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>America has put nature to work, the script explains, with a maddening neutrality that made this writer want to run screaming in frustration from the screen. See how the heartland is composed of massive corn farms, where ag pilots spray more than 40 pesticides -- in the bad old days there were only a few! -- on crops eventually destined for supermarket shelves. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Find out about the modern invention known as \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/harvest/exist/\">genetically modified corn\u003c/a> that fills so many of the products in grocery stores. Could any of this be detrimental to human health or farmland? Just asking. But, no time, we must keep on trucking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cobject width=\"512\" height=\"328\">\u003cparam name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www-tc.pbs.org/s3/pbs.videoportal-prod.cdn/media/swf/PBSPlayer.swf\">\u003cparam name=\"flashvars\" value=\"video=2209078973&player=viral&end=0\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cparam name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\">\u003cembed src=\"http://www-tc.pbs.org/s3/pbs.videoportal-prod.cdn/media/swf/PBSPlayer.swf\" flashvars=\"video=2209078973&player=viral&end=0\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" wmode=\"transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"512\" height=\"328\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of corn, discover how clever Americans are feeding corn -- not a natural source of food for cattle -- to animals who get pumped up supernaturally in industrial food lots, where they're also given doses of antibiotics and growth hormones for good measure, just so consumers might enjoy a large steak. At low cost. Should we discuss whether all this is good for the animals, land, or humans? Nah. The food machine just \"gives us what we want.\" Next segment please.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's talk \"craveability.\" What Americans want, the New York restaurant experts explain on \u003cem>America Revealed\u003c/em>, is big servings of so-called \"celebration foods\" and they want 'em all the time. Case in point the restaurant hit known as the Bloomin' Onion -- soaked in buttermilk and batter and deep fried, this monster on a plate sells like hot cakes at that embarrassment to any self-respecting Aussie known as the \u003ca href=\"http://www.outback.com/companyinfo/\">Outback Steakhouse\u003c/a>. (Walkabout Soup? Alice Springs Chicken Quesadillas? Chocolate Thunder Down Under? Some marketing guru got rich making this stuff up, but I digress.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So much of this episode is just uncritical content presented without any context, which does a disservice to viewers like you, who expect more from PBS documentaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if some social studies teacher showed this to a bunch of high school kids? They'd get the impression that the American system of food production and distribution is a well-oiled machine. And that's just so far from the truth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be fair, if viewers stick around to the 40-minute mark, there are a few indications that all might not be golden in The Land of Oz. (Yes, folks, the camera crew visit Kansas and there are even references to Toto in this program.) \u003ca href=\"http://www.ars.usda.gov/News/docs.htm?docid=15572\">Colony collapse disorder\u003c/a> gets some attention. Those super-size-me steak and fried onion feasts are making Americans fat and fatter we learn. Kwon revisits water in California, but only from the perspective of the expense to farmers. Don't get me started on the crop-dusting segment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Towards the end of the hour the show explores the subject of food deserts -- places where people can't find any real food to eat, since they only have corner stores that specialize in liquor, Lottery tickets, and cigarettes. One guess where the camera crew is headed? Detroit it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Motor City seems to have become the poster child for urban food renewal for visual media. Pans of vacant lots, abandoned buildings, and graffiti graphically illustrate something went horribly wrong in the home of Motown. Cut to images of urban farmers -- many African American -- growing fresh food for their people in a place that had little for a very long time and it's clear that the city is undergoing a transformation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meet the aptly named \u003ca href=\"http://video.pbs.org/video/2209093103/\">Will Gardner\u003c/a>, an enterprising edible entrepreneur, who sells his produce at a Detroit farmers' market, and one of the few bright spots in an episode where a fourth-generation Midwesterner described himself not as a farmer but an \"input-output manager.\" Oh my.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cobject width=\"512\" height=\"328\">\u003cparam name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www-tc.pbs.org/s3/pbs.videoportal-prod.cdn/media/swf/PBSPlayer.swf\">\u003cparam name=\"flashvars\" value=\"video=2209093103&player=viral&end=0\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cparam name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\">\u003cembed src=\"http://www-tc.pbs.org/s3/pbs.videoportal-prod.cdn/media/swf/PBSPlayer.swf\" flashvars=\"video=2209093103&player=viral&end=0\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" wmode=\"transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"512\" height=\"328\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What else not to like?

The pilot of the series \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodforward.tv/\">\u003cem>Food Forward\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, which showcases urban agriculture across America, reports on what's gone down and what's growing up in the Motor City too.

These people don't pretend they're going to be able to feed an army let alone the entire country. They just want to do their part to get good food into the hands, mouths, and bellies of the people in their local area. You can't help but root for these underdogs in this series premiere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This writer has already covered \u003cem>Food Forward\u003c/em> before -- in an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/06/01/5-questions-for-food-forwards-greg-roden/\">interview with producer Greg Roden\u003c/a> for a previous \u003cem>Bay Area Bites\u003c/em> post and in a story featuring \u003ca href=\"http://civileats.com/2011/06/06/food-forward-a-sustainable-tv-show-for-all-americans-video/\">writer Stett Holbrook for Civil Eats\u003c/a>.

Oh, and he opened a \u003ca href=\"http://www.diablomag.com/Diablo-Magazine/June-2009/Yul-Kwon-Comes-Home/\">yogurt shop in Walnut Creek\u003c/a>, his childhood hometown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless, this reviewer has one question for the good people of programming at PBS: What were you thinking?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The episode plays like propaganda (at first I wondered if it was going to morph into mockumentary-like parody, alas no). Everything is bigger and better in this great United States of America, \u003ca href=\"http://www.liontv.com/London/Home\">Lion Television\u003c/a>, who produced the series, would have viewers believe.

Look at our marvels of engineering magic that allow 80 percent of the state of California's water to go directly to Central Valley farms -- in an area that was previously a desert -- to produce 50 percent of the entire country's fruits, nuts, and vegetables. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Might there be anything misguided about redirecting all that precious water? Just curious. But there's no time for controversy here, we're simply going to tell you how it is, with a grin, and move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The episode also explores how the U.S. food system feeds nearly 300 million Americans every day -- an impressive feat for sure -- at a time when less than two percent of the population produces food for the other 98 percent.

At low cost. Should we discuss whether all this is good for the animals, land, or humans? Nah. The food machine just \"gives us what we want.\" Next segment please.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's talk \"craveability.\" What Americans want, the New York restaurant experts explain on \u003cem>America Revealed\u003c/em>, is big servings of so-called \"celebration foods\" and they want 'em all the time. Case in point the restaurant hit known as the Bloomin' Onion -- soaked in buttermilk and batter and deep fried, this monster on a plate sells like hot cakes at that embarrassment to any self-respecting Aussie known as the \u003ca href=\"http://www.outback.com/companyinfo/\">Outback Steakhouse\u003c/a>. (Walkabout Soup? Alice Springs Chicken Quesadillas? Chocolate Thunder Down Under? Some marketing guru got rich making this stuff up, but I digress.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So much of this episode is just uncritical content presented without any context, which does a disservice to viewers like you, who expect more from PBS documentaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if some social studies teacher showed this to a bunch of high school kids? They'd get the impression that the American system of food production and distribution is a well-oiled machine. And that's just so far from the truth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be fair, if viewers stick around to the 40-minute mark, there are a few indications that all might not be golden in The Land of Oz. (Yes, folks, the camera crew visit Kansas and there are even references to Toto in this program.) \u003ca href=\"http://www.ars.usda.gov/News/docs.htm?docid=15572\">Colony collapse disorder\u003c/a> gets some attention. Those super-size-me steak and fried onion feasts are making Americans fat and fatter we learn. Kwon revisits water in California, but only from the perspective of the expense to farmers. Don't get me started on the crop-dusting segment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Towards the end of the hour the show explores the subject of food deserts -- places where people can't find any real food to eat, since they only have corner stores that specialize in liquor, Lottery tickets, and cigarettes. One guess where the camera crew is headed? Detroit it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Motor City seems to have become the poster child for urban food renewal for visual media. Pans of vacant lots, abandoned buildings, and graffiti graphically illustrate something went horribly wrong in the home of Motown. Cut to images of urban farmers -- many African American -- growing fresh food for their people in a place that had little for a very long time and it's clear that the city is undergoing a transformation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meet the aptly named \u003ca href=\"http://video.pbs.org/video/2209093103/\">Will Gardner\u003c/a>, an enterprising edible entrepreneur, who sells his produce at a Detroit farmers' market, and one of the few bright spots in an episode where a fourth-generation Midwesterner described himself not as a farmer but an \"input-output manager.\" Oh my.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cobject width=\"512\" height=\"328\">\u003cparam name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www-tc.pbs.org/s3/pbs.videoportal-prod.cdn/media/swf/PBSPlayer.swf\">\u003cparam name=\"flashvars\" value=\"video=2209093103&player=viral&end=0\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cparam name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\">\u003cembed src=\"http://www-tc.pbs.org/s3/pbs.videoportal-prod.cdn/media/swf/PBSPlayer.swf\" flashvars=\"video=2209093103&player=viral&end=0\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" wmode=\"transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"512\" height=\"328\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What else not to like?

Or where to find the best latte. And while \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/01/09/kqeds-forum-sfs-coffee-innovators/\">artisanal coffee\u003c/a> and taquerias often spark contentious conversations among residents about who's at the top of the list, burgers are another topic that gets folks all fired up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, the Lake Merritt food scene is starting to get crowded with a newish crop of burger restaurants that have opened recently like \u003ca href=\"http://kwikwayoakland.com/\">Kwik-Way\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.trueburgeroakland.com/\">Trueburger\u003c/a> and now \u003ca href=\"http://www.fsburger.com/\">Flipside\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housed in the now-shuttered Adam's Burger, Flipside serves up a wide variety of burgers, fries and shakes in a bright, colorful space. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1510-e1331095766175.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1510-e1331095766175.jpg\" alt=\"flipside\" title=\"flipside\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39948\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the other recent additions to the neighborhood, Flipside emphasizes its premium ingredients. Their menu promises that they use \"100% all-natural certified Angus beef that is ground fresh daily. And is never frozen. Our beef is brought up with strict husbandry principles and never treated w/ hormones or antibiotics.\" They also offer vegetarian options with veggie burgers and salads. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1508-e1331096599274.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1508-e1331095793219.jpg\" alt=\"flipside menu\" title=\"flipside menu\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39947\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first glance, the large menu stocks the usual standards although there are a few unusual combinations like the \"Hangover\" (fried egg, yellow American cheese, applewood smoked bacon, French fries and Tabasco mayo, $10.50) and the \"Islander\" (grilled pineapple, Swiss cheese, grilled onions and teriyaki glaze, $9.50). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband and I went for the first two listed on the menu: the \"Classic\" (lettuce, tomato, red onion, lettuce and their housemade 'Flip' sauce -- their version of Thousand Island sauce) and \"California Sensation\" (avocado, Swiss cheese, sprouts and 'Flip' sauce, $9.50). All the burgers include fries or salad, and I upgraded my order to \"frings\" which is half fries, half onion rings. They've also got sweet potato, garlic and curly fries if you want something else besides the regular fried spuds. And you can also get your burgers on Texas Toast or a 9-grain bun. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1515-e1331095706520.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1515-e1331095706520.jpg\" alt=\"classic burger\" title=\"classic burger\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39950\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1513-e1331095737680.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1513-e1331095737680.jpg\" alt=\"california sensation\" title=\"california sensation\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39949\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a sign on the counter that says that as each 1/2 lb. burger is made to order, wait times can vary between 12-25 minutes depending on how busy they are. We settled in at our table, although we wished they toned down the music and widescreen TV a notch, which we found distracting since they were both blaring loudly at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the promising provenance of the ingredients, when we took our first bites of our burgers, we found that they had been grilled well beyond medium. Needless to say, the \"California Sensation\" was less than sensational. The meat was on the dry side and even with the buttery \"signature classic\" buns slathered with Flip sauce, the burgers were below average. Their burgers are quite large as well, almost big enough for two -- and when they're overcooked, the portions are rather overwhelming. The thin-cut fries and onion rings were perfectly crisp, not too greasy and tasty, although the side salad of romaine lettuce, carrots, cucumber and tomato was undressed and elicited a ho-hum reaction from my husband. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while we were disappointed with our first visit, Flipside's only had their doors open for several weeks. There's plenty of room for improvement, and of course there's many items we haven't tried yet like their \"fountain-style\" shakes and malts. In any event, the Flipside is the latest player in the busy burger battle that's unfolding in Oakland, and they're worth watching to see how they evolve over time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.fsburger.com/\">Flipside\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n3401 Lakeshore Ave\u003cbr>\n(between Longridge Rd & Trestle Glen Rd)\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94610\u003cbr>\n(510) 879-7195\u003cbr>\nHours:\u003cbr>\nMon-Sun 11 am - 9 pm\u003c/p>\n\n",

Or where to find the best latte. And while \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/01/09/kqeds-forum-sfs-coffee-innovators/\">artisanal coffee\u003c/a> and taquerias often spark contentious conversations among residents about who's at the top of the list, burgers are another topic that gets folks all fired up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, the Lake Merritt food scene is starting to get crowded with a newish crop of burger restaurants that have opened recently like \u003ca href=\"http://kwikwayoakland.com/\">Kwik-Way\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.trueburgeroakland.com/\">Trueburger\u003c/a> and now \u003ca href=\"http://www.fsburger.com/\">Flipside\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housed in the now-shuttered Adam's Burger, Flipside serves up a wide variety of burgers, fries and shakes in a bright, colorful space. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1510-e1331095766175.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1510-e1331095766175.jpg\" alt=\"flipside\" title=\"flipside\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39948\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Their menu promises that they use \"100% all-natural certified Angus beef that is ground fresh daily. And is never frozen. Our beef is brought up with strict husbandry principles and never treated w/ hormones or antibiotics.\" They also offer vegetarian options with veggie burgers and salads. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1508-e1331096599274.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1508-e1331095793219.jpg\" alt=\"flipside menu\" title=\"flipside menu\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39947\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first glance, the large menu stocks the usual standards although there are a few unusual combinations like the \"Hangover\" (fried egg, yellow American cheese, applewood smoked bacon, French fries and Tabasco mayo, $10.50) and the \"Islander\" (grilled pineapple, Swiss cheese, grilled onions and teriyaki glaze, $9.50). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband and I went for the first two listed on the menu: the \"Classic\" (lettuce, tomato, red onion, lettuce and their housemade 'Flip' sauce -- their version of Thousand Island sauce) and \"California Sensation\" (avocado, Swiss cheese, sprouts and 'Flip' sauce, $9.50). All the burgers include fries or salad, and I upgraded my order to \"frings\" which is half fries, half onion rings. They've also got sweet potato, garlic and curly fries if you want something else besides the regular fried spuds. And you can also get your burgers on Texas Toast or a 9-grain bun. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1515-e1331095706520.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1515-e1331095706520.jpg\" alt=\"classic burger\" title=\"classic burger\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39950\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1513-e1331095737680.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_1513-e1331095737680.jpg\" alt=\"california sensation\" title=\"california sensation\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39949\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a sign on the counter that says that as each 1/2 lb. burger is made to order, wait times can vary between 12-25 minutes depending on how busy they are. We settled in at our table, although we wished they toned down the music and widescreen TV a notch, which we found distracting since they were both blaring loudly at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the promising provenance of the ingredients, when we took our first bites of our burgers, we found that they had been grilled well beyond medium. Needless to say, the \"California Sensation\" was less than sensational. The meat was on the dry side and even with the buttery \"signature classic\" buns slathered with Flip sauce, the burgers were below average. Their burgers are quite large as well, almost big enough for two -- and when they're overcooked, the portions are rather overwhelming. The thin-cut fries and onion rings were perfectly crisp, not too greasy and tasty, although the side salad of romaine lettuce, carrots, cucumber and tomato was undressed and elicited a ho-hum reaction from my husband. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while we were disappointed with our first visit, Flipside's only had their doors open for several weeks. There's plenty of room for improvement, and of course there's many items we haven't tried yet like their \"fountain-style\" shakes and malts. In any event, the Flipside is the latest player in the busy burger battle that's unfolding in Oakland, and they're worth watching to see how they evolve over time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.fsburger.com/\">Flipside\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n3401 Lakeshore Ave\u003cbr>\n(between Longridge Rd & Trestle Glen Rd)\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94610\u003cbr>\n(510) 879-7195\u003cbr>\nHours:\u003cbr>\nMon-Sun 11 am - 9 pm\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A graduate of \u003ca href=\"http://naturalgourmetinstitute.com/\">The Natural Gourmet Institute\u003c/a>, UC Berkeley, and Cornell University’s Plant-Based Nutrition Program, the creative, animal-loving, and adorable \u003ca href=\"http://chefchloe.com/\">Chef Chloe\u003c/a> had already entered the culinary world at the time of the competition with positions at Bay Area veggie hot spots \u003ca href=\"http://www.millenniumrestaurant.com/\">Millennium\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.herbivorerestaurant.com/\">Herbivore\u003c/a> as well as Counter in New York. But it was her victory on \u003cem>Cupcake Wars—\u003c/em>the first victory by a vegan on a Food Network competition—that finally gave permission to vegans all over the country to shout from the rooftops: \"Ha! Our desserts are not only just as good as all the others! They can even be better!\" So influential was Chloe's win, that not only have more vegan bakers competed on the show since her, but tomorrow, Food Network is even airing a \u003ca href=\"http://vegansaurus.com/post/18569962552\">\u003cem>Cupcake Wars\u003c/em> all-vegan showdown\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since that win, Chloe's approachable take on veganism has blown up in the media, with spreads in \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/06/tasty-vegan-food-cupcakes-show-it-can-be-done/\">The New York Times\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=2483&catId=8\">Woman's World\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, and on \u003ca href=\"http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2011/10/17/55-give-vegan-cooking-a-chance/\">CNN\u003c/a>. In January \u003ca href=\"http://chefchloe.com/sweets/chocolate-layer-cake.html\">she appeared on \u003cem>The Doctors\u003c/em>\u003c/a> with a recipe for a decadent vegan chocolate cake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And tomorrow, March 6, after much anticipation, Chloe's first cookbook, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1451636741/kqedorg-20\">Chloe’s Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003c/em> will launch (but you can \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1451636741/kqedorg-20\">pre-order it now\u003c/a>!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> has recipes ranging from the very simple, like \"Classic Roasted Vegetables\" and \"Avocado Toast\" all the way to the more intricate, like \"Seitan Scallopini\" and \"Tarte Tatin with Coconut Whipped Cream.\" And of course it features her famous desserts, including her award-winning cupcakes, plus (in true vegan form) a recipe for \"Peanut Butter Dog Treats.\" It serves as a great intro to those new to veganism or interested in trying it out, with helpful tips on everything from how to stock a vegan pantry to how to make soy-free soy sauce. In addition to an intro from Chloe on how she came to be a vegan and how she approaches cooking, there is also a forward by \u003ca href=\"http://www.nealbarnard.org/\">Dr. Neal D. Barnard\u003c/a>, Founder and President of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine addressing common concerns about veganism, like the ever-present question of \"Will I get enough protein?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can go on and on about Chloe and the yummy recipes in her book, but let's talk to the chef herself. Chloe was kind enough to answer some questions for Bay Area Bites about her approach to veganism, her favorite recipe, her take on the Bay Area vegan food scene, and even about her beloved animal friends. Read on, then scroll down for a recipe from her book, as well information on book signing events in the Bay Area in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The vegan community is very excited for your new cookbook! What was the motivating spirit behind \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> and what impact do you hope it will have in the culinary world?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since going vegan 8 years ago, I've had so many people ask me \"How do you do it? I could NEVER be vegan!\" There are lots of myths out there that vegan food is bland, boring, expensive, and difficult to prepare. Wrong! My motivation behind \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> is to show people that vegan food can actually be extremely flavorful, exciting, and easy to prepare. I hope that \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> will prove to the mainstream that vegan cooking is fun and accessible and convince people to try it in their homes on a regular basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> is dedicated to your mom, and you mentioned that she and the rest of your family was very supportive when you went vegan as a kid. What were your reasons for going vegan, and do you have advice for anyone else--child or adult--who is the sole vegan in their family?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going vegan in a family of carnivores can seem daunting, but if I could do it as a child, anyone can! My advice would be to stay positive. Your family might be overwhelmed if you focus on what you can't eat. Instead focus on what you can eat! Take your family to a local vegan restaurant or try cooking something delicious from \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> once a week (I'd recommend \"Penne alla Vodka with the Best Garlic Bread in the World\" or \"Mongolian BBQ Seitan\"). Your family will be thrilled and open up to the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I dedicated \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> to my mom because she has been with me on this journey every step of the way. She was the first person to support my dietary choices and even cooked me a separate feast on my first vegan Thanksgiving! She always has a \"can do\" attitude and tells me everyday that anything is possible. Without her optimism, I would have never taken a chance on going to culinary school and writing this book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I love the range of difficulty that your recipes offer. A novice can take their time moving from something simple like Easy Peasy Pasta Salad, all the way to Moroccan Bastilla. But tell us: What is YOUR favorite go-to dish from your collection?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I love that you noticed that! For the most part, the recipes in \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> are simple and straight forward, but I did throw in a couple fun ones for the more adventurous chefs. My favorite go-to weeknight meal would have to be \"Fettuccine Alfredo\" or \"Falafel Sliders with Avocado Hummus.\" For dessert, definitely my \"Cinnamon Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies.\" I even make them for breakfast sometimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You mention in your book that your love for cooking started during college at UC Berkeley, after which you jetted off to New York to attend \u003ca href=\"http://naturalgourmetinstitute.com/\">The Natural Gourmet Institute\u003c/a>. Did you specifically study vegan culinary arts or did you have to adapt your studies to your ethical stance?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In my senior year of college at UC Berkeley, I toured a bunch of culinary schools with my mom before making a choice. It became clear that Natural Gourmet was the obvious choice. Not only does Natural Gourmet have a focus on health, nutrition, and alternative medicine, but they are also very supportive of each student's moral beliefs. You do not have to touch or taste anything you don't want to. Natural Gourmet's plant-based focus truly puts them on the cutting edge of culinary education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You have some strong Bay Area roots. How do you feel the Bay Area is evolving from a vegan perspective?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area holds a very dear place in my heart. I have had so many amazing experiences there, from going to college at UC Berkeley, to getting my first restaurant job at Herbivore, to experiencing my first vegetarian festival in San Francisco, to working at the world's greatest vegan restaurant, Millennium! The Bay Area is definitely one of the fastest-evolving veg cities in the world. I mean, come on, what other city has an all-vegan cinnamon roll bakery (\u003ca href=\"www.cinnaholic.com\">Cinnaholic\u003c/a>) or an all-vegan sushi house (\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/cha-ya-vegetarian-japanese-restaurant-san-francisco\">Cha-ya\u003c/a>)?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are your favorite Bay Area culinary destinations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could probably write a whole book on this topic because I am totally obsessed with the food in the Bay! There is nothing like a bag of salty air-baked garlic fries at \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/smart-alecs-intelligent-food-berkeley\">Smart Alecs\u003c/a>, or a platter of the oyster mushroom calamari at Millennium Restaurant. I could eat hundreds of pieces of tempura sushi (specifically, the Cha-Ya roll) at Cha-ya. Vegan Chinese food is also very plentiful in the Bay, my favorite place being \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/long-life-vegi-house-berkeley\">Long Life Veggie House\u003c/a> in Berkeley. My friends took me there every year on my birthday in college and I would always get the Broccoli Veggie Chicken-- it's to die for! And don't forget the Shawarma Wrap from Herbivore. After this question, I'm starving!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And a final question I just have to ask. One of my favorite quotes from your introduction in \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> is \"You name it. I've adopted it. From pit bulls and rats to frogs and lizards, I've always been a please-can-we-keep-him? kind of girl.\" I can totally relate, as I'm sure many vegans can. Are there any special non-human animals that have made a particularly strong impact in your life? (Feel free to share adorable photos!)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My life has been made so incredibly rich with the love of my pets! I just recently adopted 2 infant chihuahua's from the shelter. They were abandoned on the street by someone and were going to be put to sleep the day the we picked them up. We were originally asked by an animal rescue group to foster the puppies, but you know how that works... One look into their eyes and the adoption papers were signed! They are brother and sister named Buster and Winnie. All they want to do is kiss each other and me...all day long. They are the sweetest dogs who love nothing more than sleeping curled up on top of me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thank you, Chloe, for taking the time to talk to Bay Area Bites. We can't wait to make everything in your book, and see other creative recipes you come up with in the future! \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39751\" title=\"Chloe with Puppies \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/Recently-Updated16.jpg\" alt=\"Chloe with Puppies \" width=\"500\" height=\"313\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Chef Chloe with the recently adopted Buster and Winnie (photo courtesy of the author)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Upcoming Book Signing Events:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nMonday, March 12: \u003ca href=\"http://www.omnivorebooks.com/events.html\">Omnivore Books\u003c/a> (San Francisco) – 6pm\u003cbr>\nTuesday, March 13: \u003ca href=\"http://bookpassage.com/event/chloe-coscarelli-chloes-kitchen-125-easy-delicious-recipes-making-food-you-love-vegan-way\">Book Passage\u003c/a> (San Francisco) – Ferry Building – 6pm\u003cbr>\nWednesday, March 14: \u003ca href=\"http://www.booksinc.net/event/chloe-coscarelli-books-inc-marina\">Books Inc.\u003c/a> (San Francisco) – Marina location – 7pm\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chloe will also be appearing on KQED's \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/radio/programs/forum/index.jsp\">Forum\u003c/a> with fellow vegan chef \u003ca href=\"http://www.compassionatecook.com/\">Colleen Patrick-Goudreau\u003c/a> on March 13. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39637\" title=\"Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Butter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/Sweet-Potato-Gnocchi-with-Sage-Butter1.jpg\" alt=\"Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Butter\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cem>Photo Credit: Miki Duisterhol\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Butter\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SERVES 4 TO 6\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Gnocchi (pronounced NYO-kee) are soft little pillows of potato heaven that pretty much put regular\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>noodles to shame.

Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Using a sharp knife, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a large spoon, scoop the flesh out of each sweet potato into a medium bowl. Thoroughly mash the sweet potatoes while they are still warm, then set aside or refrigerate to cool completely. Add salt, nutmeg, and pepper to the sweet potatoes. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well with a spoon to combine. Once a soft, slightly sticky, dough has formed, divide it into six portions. Generously flour the work surface and your hands. Roll each portion of dough into ropes about 1/2 inch in diameter. Each rope will be approximately 7 to 9 inches long. Dip a sharp knife in flour and cut each rope into 1-inch long pillows. If desired, roll each pillow on fork tines to make decorative ridges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fill a medium saucepan with heavily salted water and bring it to a boil. In the meantime, heat margarine and sage in a large nonstick skillet until the margarine begins to bubble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the water is boiling, reduce heat to a gentle simmer and gently drop in the gnocchi, about 20 at a time.

A graduate of \u003ca href=\"http://naturalgourmetinstitute.com/\">The Natural Gourmet Institute\u003c/a>, UC Berkeley, and Cornell University’s Plant-Based Nutrition Program, the creative, animal-loving, and adorable \u003ca href=\"http://chefchloe.com/\">Chef Chloe\u003c/a> had already entered the culinary world at the time of the competition with positions at Bay Area veggie hot spots \u003ca href=\"http://www.millenniumrestaurant.com/\">Millennium\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.herbivorerestaurant.com/\">Herbivore\u003c/a> as well as Counter in New York. But it was her victory on \u003cem>Cupcake Wars—\u003c/em>the first victory by a vegan on a Food Network competition—that finally gave permission to vegans all over the country to shout from the rooftops: \"Ha! Our desserts are not only just as good as all the others! They can even be better!\" So influential was Chloe's win, that not only have more vegan bakers competed on the show since her, but tomorrow, Food Network is even airing a \u003ca href=\"http://vegansaurus.com/post/18569962552\">\u003cem>Cupcake Wars\u003c/em> all-vegan showdown\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since that win, Chloe's approachable take on veganism has blown up in the media, with spreads in \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/06/tasty-vegan-food-cupcakes-show-it-can-be-done/\">The New York Times\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=2483&catId=8\">Woman's World\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, and on \u003ca href=\"http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2011/10/17/55-give-vegan-cooking-a-chance/\">CNN\u003c/a>. In January \u003ca href=\"http://chefchloe.com/sweets/chocolate-layer-cake.html\">she appeared on \u003cem>The Doctors\u003c/em>\u003c/a> with a recipe for a decadent vegan chocolate cake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And tomorrow, March 6, after much anticipation, Chloe's first cookbook, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1451636741/kqedorg-20\">Chloe’s Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003c/em> will launch (but you can \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1451636741/kqedorg-20\">pre-order it now\u003c/a>!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> has recipes ranging from the very simple, like \"Classic Roasted Vegetables\" and \"Avocado Toast\" all the way to the more intricate, like \"Seitan Scallopini\" and \"Tarte Tatin with Coconut Whipped Cream.\" And of course it features her famous desserts, including her award-winning cupcakes, plus (in true vegan form) a recipe for \"Peanut Butter Dog Treats.\" It serves as a great intro to those new to veganism or interested in trying it out, with helpful tips on everything from how to stock a vegan pantry to how to make soy-free soy sauce. In addition to an intro from Chloe on how she came to be a vegan and how she approaches cooking, there is also a forward by \u003ca href=\"http://www.nealbarnard.org/\">Dr. Neal D.

Chloe was kind enough to answer some questions for Bay Area Bites about her approach to veganism, her favorite recipe, her take on the Bay Area vegan food scene, and even about her beloved animal friends. Read on, then scroll down for a recipe from her book, as well information on book signing events in the Bay Area in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The vegan community is very excited for your new cookbook! What was the motivating spirit behind \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> and what impact do you hope it will have in the culinary world?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since going vegan 8 years ago, I've had so many people ask me \"How do you do it? I could NEVER be vegan!\" There are lots of myths out there that vegan food is bland, boring, expensive, and difficult to prepare. Wrong! My motivation behind \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> is to show people that vegan food can actually be extremely flavorful, exciting, and easy to prepare. I hope that \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> will prove to the mainstream that vegan cooking is fun and accessible and convince people to try it in their homes on a regular basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> is dedicated to your mom, and you mentioned that she and the rest of your family was very supportive when you went vegan as a kid. What were your reasons for going vegan, and do you have advice for anyone else--child or adult--who is the sole vegan in their family?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going vegan in a family of carnivores can seem daunting, but if I could do it as a child, anyone can! My advice would be to stay positive. Your family might be overwhelmed if you focus on what you can't eat. Instead focus on what you can eat! Take your family to a local vegan restaurant or try cooking something delicious from \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> once a week (I'd recommend \"Penne alla Vodka with the Best Garlic Bread in the World\" or \"Mongolian BBQ Seitan\"). Your family will be thrilled and open up to the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I dedicated \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> to my mom because she has been with me on this journey every step of the way. She was the first person to support my dietary choices and even cooked me a separate feast on my first vegan Thanksgiving! She always has a \"can do\" attitude and tells me everyday that anything is possible. Without her optimism, I would have never taken a chance on going to culinary school and writing this book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I love the range of difficulty that your recipes offer. A novice can take their time moving from something simple like Easy Peasy Pasta Salad, all the way to Moroccan Bastilla. But tell us: What is YOUR favorite go-to dish from your collection?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I love that you noticed that! For the most part, the recipes in \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> are simple and straight forward, but I did throw in a couple fun ones for the more adventurous chefs. My favorite go-to weeknight meal would have to be \"Fettuccine Alfredo\" or \"Falafel Sliders with Avocado Hummus.\" For dessert, definitely my \"Cinnamon Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies.\" I even make them for breakfast sometimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You mention in your book that your love for cooking started during college at UC Berkeley, after which you jetted off to New York to attend \u003ca href=\"http://naturalgourmetinstitute.com/\">The Natural Gourmet Institute\u003c/a>. Did you specifically study vegan culinary arts or did you have to adapt your studies to your ethical stance?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In my senior year of college at UC Berkeley, I toured a bunch of culinary schools with my mom before making a choice. It became clear that Natural Gourmet was the obvious choice. Not only does Natural Gourmet have a focus on health, nutrition, and alternative medicine, but they are also very supportive of each student's moral beliefs. You do not have to touch or taste anything you don't want to. Natural Gourmet's plant-based focus truly puts them on the cutting edge of culinary education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You have some strong Bay Area roots. How do you feel the Bay Area is evolving from a vegan perspective?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area holds a very dear place in my heart. I have had so many amazing experiences there, from going to college at UC Berkeley, to getting my first restaurant job at Herbivore, to experiencing my first vegetarian festival in San Francisco, to working at the world's greatest vegan restaurant, Millennium! The Bay Area is definitely one of the fastest-evolving veg cities in the world. I mean, come on, what other city has an all-vegan cinnamon roll bakery (\u003ca href=\"www.cinnaholic.com\">Cinnaholic\u003c/a>) or an all-vegan sushi house (\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/cha-ya-vegetarian-japanese-restaurant-san-francisco\">Cha-ya\u003c/a>)?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are your favorite Bay Area culinary destinations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could probably write a whole book on this topic because I am totally obsessed with the food in the Bay! There is nothing like a bag of salty air-baked garlic fries at \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/smart-alecs-intelligent-food-berkeley\">Smart Alecs\u003c/a>, or a platter of the oyster mushroom calamari at Millennium Restaurant. I could eat hundreds of pieces of tempura sushi (specifically, the Cha-Ya roll) at Cha-ya. Vegan Chinese food is also very plentiful in the Bay, my favorite place being \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/long-life-vegi-house-berkeley\">Long Life Veggie House\u003c/a> in Berkeley. My friends took me there every year on my birthday in college and I would always get the Broccoli Veggie Chicken-- it's to die for! And don't forget the Shawarma Wrap from Herbivore. After this question, I'm starving!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And a final question I just have to ask. One of my favorite quotes from your introduction in \u003cem>Chloe's Kitchen\u003c/em> is \"You name it. I've adopted it. From pit bulls and rats to frogs and lizards, I've always been a please-can-we-keep-him? kind of girl.\" I can totally relate, as I'm sure many vegans can. Are there any special non-human animals that have made a particularly strong impact in your life? (Feel free to share adorable photos!)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My life has been made so incredibly rich with the love of my pets! I just recently adopted 2 infant chihuahua's from the shelter. They were abandoned on the street by someone and were going to be put to sleep the day the we picked them up. We were originally asked by an animal rescue group to foster the puppies, but you know how that works... One look into their eyes and the adoption papers were signed! They are brother and sister named Buster and Winnie. All they want to do is kiss each other and me...all day long. They are the sweetest dogs who love nothing more than sleeping curled up on top of me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thank you, Chloe, for taking the time to talk to Bay Area Bites. We can't wait to make everything in your book, and see other creative recipes you come up with in the future! \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39751\" title=\"Chloe with Puppies \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/Recently-Updated16.jpg\" alt=\"Chloe with Puppies \" width=\"500\" height=\"313\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Chef Chloe with the recently adopted Buster and Winnie (photo courtesy of the author)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Upcoming Book Signing Events:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nMonday, March 12: \u003ca href=\"http://www.omnivorebooks.com/events.html\">Omnivore Books\u003c/a> (San Francisco) – 6pm\u003cbr>\nTuesday, March 13: \u003ca href=\"http://bookpassage.com/event/chloe-coscarelli-chloes-kitchen-125-easy-delicious-recipes-making-food-you-love-vegan-way\">Book Passage\u003c/a> (San Francisco) – Ferry Building – 6pm\u003cbr>\nWednesday, March 14: \u003ca href=\"http://www.booksinc.net/event/chloe-coscarelli-books-inc-marina\">Books Inc.\u003c/a> (San Francisco) – Marina location – 7pm\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chloe will also be appearing on KQED's \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/radio/programs/forum/index.jsp\">Forum\u003c/a> with fellow vegan chef \u003ca href=\"http://www.compassionatecook.com/\">Colleen Patrick-Goudreau\u003c/a> on March 13. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39637\" title=\"Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Butter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/Sweet-Potato-Gnocchi-with-Sage-Butter1.jpg\" alt=\"Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Butter\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cem>Photo Credit: Miki Duisterhol\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Butter\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SERVES 4 TO 6\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Gnocchi (pronounced NYO-kee) are soft little pillows of potato heaven that pretty much put regular\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>noodles to shame.

Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Using a sharp knife, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a large spoon, scoop the flesh out of each sweet potato into a medium bowl. Thoroughly mash the sweet potatoes while they are still warm, then set aside or refrigerate to cool completely. Add salt, nutmeg, and pepper to the sweet potatoes. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well with a spoon to combine. Once a soft, slightly sticky, dough has formed, divide it into six portions. Generously flour the work surface and your hands. Roll each portion of dough into ropes about 1/2 inch in diameter. Each rope will be approximately 7 to 9 inches long. Dip a sharp knife in flour and cut each rope into 1-inch long pillows. If desired, roll each pillow on fork tines to make decorative ridges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fill a medium saucepan with heavily salted water and bring it to a boil. In the meantime, heat margarine and sage in a large nonstick skillet until the margarine begins to bubble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the water is boiling, reduce heat to a gentle simmer and gently drop in the gnocchi, about 20 at a time. The gnocchi will float to the surface in about 4 minutes. Continue to cook about 30 seconds more. Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer the gnocchi to the skillet of butter sauce. Let cook, turning frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes. You will have to do this in several batches, until all the gnocchi are cooked. Serve immediately, topped with additional freshly ground black pepper.\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Opened in 1993, this sunny hangout in Old Oakland changed hands last year. While the name and the Italian inspiration remains the name, new owners Scott and Emily Goldenberg have made the place their own. The couple, who met while both were working as sous-chefs at \u003ca href=\"http://www.zunicafe.com/\">Zuni Cafe\u003c/a>, are dedicated to bringing their love for local flavors and housemade products to downtown Oakland. At a recent breakfast for food writers and bloggers hosted by \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandlocal.com\">Oakland Local\u003c/a>, Scott and Emily showcased a few of their favorite brunch items and talked about what they're trying to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, what's that alluring, elusive flavor--not cinnamon--in that bowl of crunchy, not-too-sweet organic granola? It's cardamom, a legacy of Emily's Norwegian heritage. (Throughout Scandanavia, cardamom is a commonly addition to sweet breads and morning pastries.) Nutmeg's in there, and an herby-citrusy burst of coriander, too, tossed into a hearty mix of organic nuts, seeds, and grains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Granola may not be Italian, but the coffee certainly is, or at least as Italian as you can get without leaving the West Coast. The Goldenbergs stock \u003ca href=\"http://www.mrespresso.com\">Mr. Espresso\u003c/a> beans, which Emily describes as \"as local as local can be,\" since their beans are roasted over oak just a few blocks away on 3rd Street close to Jack London Square.

Opened in 1993, this sunny hangout in Old Oakland changed hands last year. While the name and the Italian inspiration remains the name, new owners Scott and Emily Goldenberg have made the place their own. The couple, who met while both were working as sous-chefs at \u003ca href=\"http://www.zunicafe.com/\">Zuni Cafe\u003c/a>, are dedicated to bringing their love for local flavors and housemade products to downtown Oakland. At a recent breakfast for food writers and bloggers hosted by \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandlocal.com\">Oakland Local\u003c/a>, Scott and Emily showcased a few of their favorite brunch items and talked about what they're trying to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, what's that alluring, elusive flavor--not cinnamon--in that bowl of crunchy, not-too-sweet organic granola? It's cardamom, a legacy of Emily's Norwegian heritage. (Throughout Scandanavia, cardamom is a commonly addition to sweet breads and morning pastries.) Nutmeg's in there, and an herby-citrusy burst of coriander, too, tossed into a hearty mix of organic nuts, seeds, and grains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Granola may not be Italian, but the coffee certainly is, or at least as Italian as you can get without leaving the West Coast. The Goldenbergs stock \u003ca href=\"http://www.mrespresso.com\">Mr. Espresso\u003c/a> beans, which Emily describes as \"as local as local can be,\" since their beans are roasted over oak just a few blocks away on 3rd Street close to Jack London Square. The family-run business was founded by the Italian-born Carlo Di Ruocco, who got his start as an importer of espresso machines. The Di Ruocco family \"come in for coffee all the time,\" Emily notes, while praising the \"real Italian profile\" of their beans.

The pop-up is happening at \u003ca href=\"http://citizensbandsf.com/\">Citizen's Band\u003c/a> in San Francisco for a total of four Monday nights. I attended the second dinner and there are two more scheduled with a possibility for additional ones in the future. The menu pulls from dishes that Kapur created with his friends in mind: the idea being to bring people together, eat family style, and enjoy each others company—without having to be an 'over-the-top-foodie experience.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Hawaii, everyone seems to cook. It's a function of survival. Cooking isn't intimidating.” Kapur brings the easiness of his native Oahu to his menu, with dishes like tender \u003ca href=\"http://www.hawaiimagazine.com/blogs/hawaii_today/2010/2/11/Hawaii_style_pulehu_steak_recipe\">pulehu\u003c/a> beef tongue and smoked tako (octopus) easily shared between friends. Discussing the idea behind the pop-up, Kapur says, “I'm cooking with flavors I grew up with and not having to fit my inspiration into a fine-dining context.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the food intentionally steers away from being 'fine dining,' the decade that Kapur spent as chef de cuisine at Boulevard and then executive chef at Prospect is evident in the dishes' execution: they look simple, but each of them has multiple ingredients that have been lovingly prepared for days before the pop-up: kimchi to accompany the main courses fermenting in the kitchen, three kinds of radishes pickling before being sliced onto appetizers, sugar caramelizing for the short-rib glaze.\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/2LLYCmenu-new.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/2LLYCmenu-new-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"LLYC menu\" title=\"LLYC menu\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-39574\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/2LLYCmenu-new.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\">Liholiho Yacht Club’s menu\u003c/a> is fixed price, with no substitutions, set at $65 per person which includes tax and tip. The price tag might seem hefty, but considering that both the appetizer and the entrée courses include five dishes per person, there are two desserts, and all of the ingredients are high quality, your full belly will thank you after you 'grind'(Hawaiian slang for 'eats').\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting down at a cozy table at Citizen's Band, the first noticeable feature is the relaxed atmosphere.

They would go down to the beach and throw a party--fire up the grill, ice down the beer, and get a band to play,\" reminisces Kapur. \"They would charge a modest price--the intention was to make enough money to allow them to do what they loved. They realized they needed a name for their 'organization' and he lived on Liholiho street so decided to name it Liholiho Yacht Club.

Portions are adjusted for smaller parties, but there’s something so inviting about the platters of Asian-influenced Hawaiian soul food. The Korean-style fried quail with a red Fresno chile barbecue sauce is especially noteworthy. The idea of digging into platefuls of soy-date glazed shortribs, fermented-miso sauced Brussels sprouts, and thin, tenderly-grilled beef tongue is even more appealing when you’re with a few friends, washing it all down with several communal bottles of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapporo_Brewery\">Sapporo\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.asahibeer.com/\">Asahi\u003c/a> beer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dishes for each course arrived all together, the five dishes took up most of the room on the table. The appetizer course dishes consisted of: small bites of potatoes in a white-miso vinaigrette, finished with steelhead roe and crispy potato skins; cold roasted sunchokes with large, dried nori flakes on a stripe of seaweed \"ranch\"; spicy clams in a red Thai curry sauce peppered with crispy strips of pig ears and larger chunks of the ear meat floating in the broth; and pungent house-smoked tako, cut nicely by spicy pickled radishes, sesame oil, and plenty of sesame seeds to give the dish a nice crunch that offsets the soft tako.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don't eat a late lunch before dining at Liholiho Yacht Club, you'll want to save plenty of room for the deep-fried half-quail and the sweetly salty pork ribs.

The pop-up is happening at \u003ca href=\"http://citizensbandsf.com/\">Citizen's Band\u003c/a> in San Francisco for a total of four Monday nights. I attended the second dinner and there are two more scheduled with a possibility for additional ones in the future. The menu pulls from dishes that Kapur created with his friends in mind: the idea being to bring people together, eat family style, and enjoy each others company—without having to be an 'over-the-top-foodie experience.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Hawaii, everyone seems to cook. It's a function of survival. Cooking isn't intimidating.” Kapur brings the easiness of his native Oahu to his menu, with dishes like tender \u003ca href=\"http://www.hawaiimagazine.com/blogs/hawaii_today/2010/2/11/Hawaii_style_pulehu_steak_recipe\">pulehu\u003c/a> beef tongue and smoked tako (octopus) easily shared between friends. Discussing the idea behind the pop-up, Kapur says, “I'm cooking with flavors I grew up with and not having to fit my inspiration into a fine-dining context.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the food intentionally steers away from being 'fine dining,' the decade that Kapur spent as chef de cuisine at Boulevard and then executive chef at Prospect is evident in the dishes' execution: they look simple, but each of them has multiple ingredients that have been lovingly prepared for days before the pop-up: kimchi to accompany the main courses fermenting in the kitchen, three kinds of radishes pickling before being sliced onto appetizers, sugar caramelizing for the short-rib glaze.\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/2LLYCmenu-new.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/2LLYCmenu-new-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"LLYC menu\" title=\"LLYC menu\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-39574\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/2LLYCmenu-new.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\">Liholiho Yacht Club’s menu\u003c/a> is fixed price, with no substitutions, set at $65 per person which includes tax and tip. The price tag might seem hefty, but considering that both the appetizer and the entrée courses include five dishes per person, there are two desserts, and all of the ingredients are high quality, your full belly will thank you after you 'grind'(Hawaiian slang for 'eats').\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting down at a cozy table at Citizen's Band, the first noticeable feature is the relaxed atmosphere. Even the servers have warm Hawaiian smiles and \u003ca href=\"http://www.myspace.com/maunaloa88\">Mauna Loa\u003c/a> music plays through the speakers.

They would go down to the beach and throw a party--fire up the grill, ice down the beer, and get a band to play,\" reminisces Kapur. \"They would charge a modest price--the intention was to make enough money to allow them to do what they loved. They realized they needed a name for their 'organization' and he lived on Liholiho street so decided to name it Liholiho Yacht Club. I loved the name \u003cem>and\u003c/em> the idea: to throw a party to allow you to keep doing what you love.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>About the future of the pop-up, Kapur says there is \"no grand plan, no long term goal,\" though he expresses admiration for Citizen's Band owner Chris Beerman for \"taking care of his neighborhood first,\" and says one day he hopes to be able to do the same in the neighborhood he's lived in for 15 years: the Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/12diners_560.jpg\" alt=\"Ravi Kapur hanging with a table of diners at LLYC\" title=\"Ravi Kapur hanging with a table of diners at LLYC\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39427\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Ravi Kapur hanging with a table of diners at LLYC.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d recommend dining at Liholiho with a few friends. Portions are adjusted for smaller parties, but there’s something so inviting about the platters of Asian-influenced Hawaiian soul food. The Korean-style fried quail with a red Fresno chile barbecue sauce is especially noteworthy. The idea of digging into platefuls of soy-date glazed shortribs, fermented-miso sauced Brussels sprouts, and thin, tenderly-grilled beef tongue is even more appealing when you’re with a few friends, washing it all down with several communal bottles of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapporo_Brewery\">Sapporo\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.asahibeer.com/\">Asahi\u003c/a> beer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dishes for each course arrived all together, the five dishes took up most of the room on the table. The appetizer course dishes consisted of: small bites of potatoes in a white-miso vinaigrette, finished with steelhead roe and crispy potato skins; cold roasted sunchokes with large, dried nori flakes on a stripe of seaweed \"ranch\"; spicy clams in a red Thai curry sauce peppered with crispy strips of pig ears and larger chunks of the ear meat floating in the broth; and pungent house-smoked tako, cut nicely by spicy pickled radishes, sesame oil, and plenty of sesame seeds to give the dish a nice crunch that offsets the soft tako.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don't eat a late lunch before dining at Liholiho Yacht Club, you'll want to save plenty of room for the deep-fried half-quail and the sweetly salty pork ribs. The vegetable sides accompanying the dishes have a fermented tang to them, and everything is self-served over a bed of sticky shiitake rice that's been steamed in a lotus leaf, Chinese-style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The food I'm cooking is very personal and influenced strongly by my childhood,” says Kapur on a Sunday afternoon as he brines pig ears that will eventually get thin-sliced and deep-fried to accompany a steaming bowl of clams during the appetizer course. “There's a lot of nostalgia on the menu.
