Yet pizza's association with fast food still impugns it among foodie snobs, to the point that no pizzeria in the United States — or on the planet — has a Michelin star, even though the prize has been given to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.greatbigstory.com/amp/a-michelin-star-meal-for-1-50\">$1.50 noodle stall\u003c/a> in Singapore, a \u003ca href=\"https://guide.michelin.com/en/hong-kong-region/hong-kong/restaurant/tim-ho-wan-sham-shui-po\">cheap dim sum chain\u003c/a> in Hong Kong, and a crab omelet \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/06/26/732529154/meet-the-74-year-old-queen-of-bangkok-street-food-who-netted-a-michelin-star\">street food shop\u003c/a> in Bangkok.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The off-radar nature of pizza makers has given them stealth potency — if not for \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/zume-pizza-robot-expansion-2017-6\">seismic change\u003c/a>, then at least for visibility.

Though its ethos is often \u003ca href=\"http://www.grubstreet.com/2015/12/pizza-hut-sexist-swag.html\">far from feminist\u003c/a>, pizza making can be a very feminine craft in the way that it doesn't cling to the rules of a male-dominated kitchen. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Kelly opened her Colorado pizzeria in 2015, after earning a degree from Le Cordon Bleu, her father urged her to include her name in the title. He and her mother have run a local chain of bagel shops for decades, but they're widely seen as \"his.\" He wanted better for his daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, Kelly's kitchen was all men (and her). Now it's 50-50, and some days is all women. \"I think of gender equality as craft, as rewarding balance,\" she said. \"We've had men who haven't worked out because they don't want to listen to a woman, which I know because they'd listen if my husband told them the same thing I did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now some of these women are banding together — including Kelly, Meyer, and Russell — to make Women In Pizza a movement like \u003ca href=\"https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2019/02/04/girls-who-code-reshma-saujani-brave-not-perfect\">Girls Who Code\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitecoatsblackdoctors.org/\">White Coats Black Doctors\u003c/a>.

Though its ethos is often \u003ca href=\"http://www.grubstreet.com/2015/12/pizza-hut-sexist-swag.html\">far from feminist\u003c/a>, pizza making can be a very feminine craft in the way that it doesn't cling to the rules of a male-dominated kitchen. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Kelly opened her Colorado pizzeria in 2015, after earning a degree from Le Cordon Bleu, her father urged her to include her name in the title.

The annual \u003ca href=\"https://hot-chicken.com/about/what-is-hot-chicken#.XWbE_5NKjFw\">Music City Hot Chicken Festival\u003c/a> started in 2007, celebrating the city’s unique treat. Restaurateurs fell in love with Nashville hot chicken and spread the spicy gospel; the dish (or a variation of it) can be found all over the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the Los Angeles Times ran the story \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/food/la-fo-nashville-hot-chicken-princes-howlin-rays-20190509-story.html\">“Nashville hot chicken is taking over Los Angeles,”\u003c/a> pointing to over two dozen hot chicken joints opening in just the past three years.

It’s also one of his personal favorite styles of fried chicken. When his brick and mortar in the Mission officially opened in April 2016, hot chicken earned a spot on the menu. “It is the number two best-selling item and the number one best-selling item in delivery orders,” Rowe says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what about The Bird, one of San Francisco’s premiere fried chicken sandwich destinations? Though their spicy fried chicken is similar, it’s not true to the style of Nashville hot chicken. Their gluten-free, berbere-spiced batter is closer to East African hot chicken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2019 we can now say we have two Bay Area businesses completely dedicated to the tried and true Nashville hot chicken: \u003ca href=\"https://www.hotbirdfriedchicken.com/\">Hotbird\u003c/a> and World Famous HotBoys (both originated in Oakland).

Their recipes finalized, they revealed World Famous HotBoys to the public around June 2019 with pop-ups at Forage Kitchen while working on their Oakland brick and mortar. Like Hotbird, their spicy chicken has levels: “mild” to “hot” and “hella hot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How hot can you go?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>True Nashville hot chicken is supposed to be hot ... like, really hot. Ghaben describes his first time eating it as “an out of body experience.” For people who aren’t prepared for it, he advises sticking to medium-level spice for a first try. “The hottest thing we have,” Ghaben says, “might end their whole week's plans.” WesBurger 'N' More doesn’t offer different levels of spice—theirs is “just spicy.” Meanwhile, Hotbird’s owners describes their hottest level is “pretty spicy, but not spicy enough where you can’t finish half your meal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B1XzuFpDDQL/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area’s take on the classic hot chicken sandwich leans heavily into all the fixins’. Nashville hot chicken is normally served with slices of white bread and pickles, and Hard Water’s version fills the carb slot with cornbread.

The chicken meat is marinated in a water-blend of seasoning, floured, fried and sauced using a paste spiced with cayenne pepper. “Things like how you spice the chicken vary,” explains HotBoys co-owner Victor Ghaben. “The type of peppers vary but the flavor profile outside the peppers does not.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family behind Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack, the birthplace of Nashville hot chicken, has converted many diners to their fiery chicken — they even \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/02/04/the-family-business-that-put-nashville-hot-chicken-on-the-map\">inspired Yo La Tengo to write three entire songs about the dish\u003c/a> (“Flying Lesson (Hot Chicken #1),” “Don’t Say a Word (Hot Chicken #2),” and “Return to Hot Chicken”). The annual \u003ca href=\"https://hot-chicken.com/about/what-is-hot-chicken#.XWbE_5NKjFw\">Music City Hot Chicken Festival\u003c/a> started in 2007, celebrating the city’s unique treat. Restaurateurs fell in love with Nashville hot chicken and spread the spicy gospel; the dish (or a variation of it) can be found all over the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the Los Angeles Times ran the story \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/food/la-fo-nashville-hot-chicken-princes-howlin-rays-20190509-story.html\">“Nashville hot chicken is taking over Los Angeles,”\u003c/a> pointing to over two dozen hot chicken joints opening in just the past three years. Bigger brands like Tyson and KFC have jumped on the bandwagon, offering their own versions of the Nashville hot chicken in restaurants and grocery stores.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Bay Area comes in (s)winging with new hot fried chicken spots\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>HotBoys isn’t the first to bring Nashville hot chicken to the temperate city by the bay, and it’s hard to say who was. \u003ca href=\"https://www.hardwaterbar.com/\">Hard Water\u003c/a>, opened by Charles Phan of Slanted Door, was one of the earlier adopters.

When his brick and mortar in the Mission officially opened in April 2016, hot chicken earned a spot on the menu. “It is the number two best-selling item and the number one best-selling item in delivery orders,” Rowe says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Who doesn't love to dip into a platter of peanut-y pad Thai noodles or a rich, steaming bowl of red curry?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while those dishes have a place in our hearts for cozy date nights or take-out at home, what we think of as \"traditional\" Thai food often isn't authentic at all (and more than likely it isn't fresh). Fortunately, we have Pim Techamuanvivit, a Michelin-class Thai chef, right here in our backyard. Through her first restaurant, the runaway success that is Kin Khao, and now her followup project, Nari, she's showing us the way to the true flavors of Thailand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When \u003ca href=\"http://www.kinkhao.com/\">Kin Khao\u003c/a> opened in 2014 on the ground floor of downtown's Parc 55 Hotel (a place rarely visited by locals), the whole city was basically blown away. The restaurant served made-from-scratch, intense, and stunningly delicious Thai food in a funky, low-budget space and, in 2016, earned a Michelin star, which it has retained every year since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But hold on, because Nari is not Kin Khao 2.0.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134955\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-interior-greenery.jpg\" alt=\"Greenery sprouts up throughout the space, lending an urban oasis feel.\" width=\"980\" height=\"735\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134955\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-interior-greenery.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-interior-greenery-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-interior-greenery-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-interior-greenery-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Greenery sprouts up throughout the space, lending an urban oasis feel. \u003ccite>(Anson Smart)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The scope of the place is your first clue. Inside Japantown's \u003ca href=\"https://www.7x7.com/first-taste-hotel-kabuki-japantown-2533728836.html\">Hotel Kabuki\u003c/a>, the dining room can seat up to 100 guests for dinner plus another 40 in the upstairs bar and lounge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The interior is also decidedly more polished than Kin Khao's. Kitted out by \u003ca href=\"https://www.lundbergdesign.com/\">Lundberg Design\u003c/a>, the aesthetes behind the interiors at Mourad and Quince, Nari is modern and elegant—an open two-story space with floor-to-ceiling windows that shed light on lush ferns and trendy monstera growing up between half-circle booths upholstered in exquisite floral fabric. In Lundberg fashion, there is thoughtful woodwork and sculptural fixtures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Design-wise, you might call Nari the brighter yang to Kin Khao's darker yin, and while Techamuanvivit has always helmed Kin Khao, there are strong feminine wiles at work here. The restaurant's name itself means \"women\" in Thai, and the operation is run by a powerhouse team of femmes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Techamuanvivit, who developed the menu, is joined by chef de cuisine Meghan Clark (also of Kin Khao) and bar star Megan Daniel-Hoang (formerly of Whitechapel). The cocktails here are named after women characters in Thai novels; there is also an extensive wine list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134956\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-cocktails.jpg\" alt=\"Left to right: The Manora, the Rojana and the Montheo\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134956\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-cocktails.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-cocktails-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-cocktails-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-cocktails-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left to right: The Manora, the Rojana and the Montheo \u003ccite>(Sarah Chorey)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nari's cocktail program is reason enough to visit. The Manora is similar to a Thai version of a pisco sour, made with egg whites, pineapple sherbert, yellow chartreuse falernum, and lime. The Rojana brings together a light rum, Smith & Cross rum, lime cordial, pineapple gum, orgeat, and Thai bitters for am elevated play on a daiquiri. The Montheo is pleasantly tart thanks to a bit of sea gin made with seaweed, sherry, chareau, vanilla, absinthe, cucumber, muddled basil, and a hint of lemon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you've settled in, it's time to forget about pad Thai and open your taste buds to a new dimension. Salty meets sweet in most of the dishes here, and funky-intense flavors come through thanks to ingredients such as shrimp paste and fish sauce. The best approach: Order with an open mind and no expectations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134957\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-kapi-plah.jpg\" alt=\"The kapi plah is an intensely flavorful chilled dip is made with gulf prawns and shrimp paste relish and comes with a spread of crisp radishes, beans, and sliced pear.\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134957\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-kapi-plah.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-kapi-plah-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-kapi-plah-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-kapi-plah-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The kapi plah is an intensely flavorful chilled dip is made with gulf prawns and shrimp paste relish and comes with a spread of crisp radishes, beans, and sliced pear. \u003ccite>(Sarah Chorey)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Start with the punchy miang, an intensely green betel leaf topped with stone fruit, trout roe, and fish sauce caramel.

Who doesn't love to dip into a platter of peanut-y pad Thai noodles or a rich, steaming bowl of red curry?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while those dishes have a place in our hearts for cozy date nights or take-out at home, what we think of as \"traditional\" Thai food often isn't authentic at all (and more than likely it isn't fresh). Fortunately, we have Pim Techamuanvivit, a Michelin-class Thai chef, right here in our backyard. Through her first restaurant, the runaway success that is Kin Khao, and now her followup project, Nari, she's showing us the way to the true flavors of Thailand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When \u003ca href=\"http://www.kinkhao.com/\">Kin Khao\u003c/a> opened in 2014 on the ground floor of downtown's Parc 55 Hotel (a place rarely visited by locals), the whole city was basically blown away. The restaurant served made-from-scratch, intense, and stunningly delicious Thai food in a funky, low-budget space and, in 2016, earned a Michelin star, which it has retained every year since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But hold on, because Nari is not Kin Khao 2.0.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134955\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-interior-greenery.jpg\" alt=\"Greenery sprouts up throughout the space, lending an urban oasis feel.\" width=\"980\" height=\"735\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134955\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-interior-greenery.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-interior-greenery-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-interior-greenery-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-interior-greenery-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Greenery sprouts up throughout the space, lending an urban oasis feel. \u003ccite>(Anson Smart)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The scope of the place is your first clue.

Kitted out by \u003ca href=\"https://www.lundbergdesign.com/\">Lundberg Design\u003c/a>, the aesthetes behind the interiors at Mourad and Quince, Nari is modern and elegant—an open two-story space with floor-to-ceiling windows that shed light on lush ferns and trendy monstera growing up between half-circle booths upholstered in exquisite floral fabric. In Lundberg fashion, there is thoughtful woodwork and sculptural fixtures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Design-wise, you might call Nari the brighter yang to Kin Khao's darker yin, and while Techamuanvivit has always helmed Kin Khao, there are strong feminine wiles at work here. The restaurant's name itself means \"women\" in Thai, and the operation is run by a powerhouse team of femmes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Techamuanvivit, who developed the menu, is joined by chef de cuisine Meghan Clark (also of Kin Khao) and bar star Megan Daniel-Hoang (formerly of Whitechapel). The cocktails here are named after women characters in Thai novels; there is also an extensive wine list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134956\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-cocktails.jpg\" alt=\"Left to right: The Manora, the Rojana and the Montheo\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134956\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-cocktails.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-cocktails-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-cocktails-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-cocktails-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left to right: The Manora, the Rojana and the Montheo \u003ccite>(Sarah Chorey)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nari's cocktail program is reason enough to visit. The Manora is similar to a Thai version of a pisco sour, made with egg whites, pineapple sherbert, yellow chartreuse falernum, and lime. The Rojana brings together a light rum, Smith & Cross rum, lime cordial, pineapple gum, orgeat, and Thai bitters for am elevated play on a daiquiri. The Montheo is pleasantly tart thanks to a bit of sea gin made with seaweed, sherry, chareau, vanilla, absinthe, cucumber, muddled basil, and a hint of lemon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you've settled in, it's time to forget about pad Thai and open your taste buds to a new dimension. Salty meets sweet in most of the dishes here, and funky-intense flavors come through thanks to ingredients such as shrimp paste and fish sauce. The best approach: Order with an open mind and no expectations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134957\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-kapi-plah.jpg\" alt=\"The kapi plah is an intensely flavorful chilled dip is made with gulf prawns and shrimp paste relish and comes with a spread of crisp radishes, beans, and sliced pear.\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134957\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-kapi-plah.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-kapi-plah-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-kapi-plah-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/nari-kapi-plah-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The kapi plah is an intensely flavorful chilled dip is made with gulf prawns and shrimp paste relish and comes with a spread of crisp radishes, beans, and sliced pear. \u003ccite>(Sarah Chorey)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Start with the punchy miang, an intensely green betel leaf topped with stone fruit, trout roe, and fish sauce caramel. Sample the yum tawai, a platter of haricots vert with bits of chicken, peanuts, sesame, and coconut and tamarind sauce. Indulge in a pretty spicy version of gaeng bumbai aubergine, a curry of eggplant with hints of lemon basil and topped with crunchy fried shallots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134958\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/gaeng-rawaeng-nari.jpg\" alt=\"Nari's gaeng rawaeng\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134958\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/gaeng-rawaeng-nari.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/gaeng-rawaeng-nari-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/gaeng-rawaeng-nari-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/10/gaeng-rawaeng-nari-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nari's gaeng rawaeng \u003ccite>(Sarah Chorey)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The gaeng rawaeng is a menu standout. The whole cornish game hen is cooked in a rich rawaeng curry sauce, and served with buttery roti bread perfect for dipping up all the juices. Like next-level comfort food, it's guaranteed to become a Nari signature dish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The desserts, like the cocktails, shine. Saved room for the babin coconut cake, a thick, pudding-like slice of coconut, basil, and ginger, topped with toasted coconut flakes.

But these days, social media is filled with images and mentions of the mochi donut. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The combination of the American donut and Japanese mochi, a traditional rice cake made of sweet glutinous rice flour, makes a food trend that is both yummy AND photogenic. The mochi rice flour adds a chewy, almost bouncy texture to a normally dense, cakey donut. And its eye-catching appearance comes from several donut balls stuck together to form a circular ring shape, making it look more like a bracelet than a snack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mister-donut.com/\">Mister Donut\u003c/a> in Japan is credited with first selling this donut hybrid in 2003, where they call them “Pon de Rings.” Seeing how popular they were in Japan, second-generation baker, Chris Watanabe decided to start his own mochi donut shop in Honolulu called \u003ca href=\"http://modohawaii.com/\">MoDo Donuts\u003c/a> in 2017 and added signature glazes like lilikoi (passionfruit), matcha and black sesame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time MoDo set up their first temporary pop-up shop in San Jose’s \u003ca href=\"https://mitsuwa.com/sj/\">Mitsuwa Marketplace\u003c/a> in April of 2018, Bay Area foodies waited upwards of 90 minutes just to get their hands on one of these donuts. Since then, MoDo’s pop-up shop has made appearances every few months in the South Bay, and their popularity hasn’t waned judging by continued long wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134805\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134805\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2.jpg\" alt=\"Shared storefront between Yama-chan and Mochill\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shared storefront between Yama-chan and Mochill \u003ccite>(Elaine Wu/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To be a recognizable part of any trend, timing is everything, and Mochill knew they wanted to be the first ones out of the gate in San Francisco. Their family business is more accustomed to making takoyaki (fried octopus puffs) in Honolulu where they have made a name for themselves with their restaurant, Yama-chan. When they decided to open a takoyaki in Japantown, they wanted to add a separate brand that would focus instead on a sweet snack.

They offer six flavors every day, three of which change every few days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134806\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134806\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-3.jpg\" alt=\"Flavors of the day displayed at Mochill\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-3.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-3-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-3-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-3-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-3-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flavors of the day displayed at Mochill \u003ccite>(Elaine Wu/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since opening in July earlier this year, they’ve been selling out daily. “We sell-out an hour before we close every day. Weekends are pretty crazy. But I don’t think customers wait more than an hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no doubt that Mochill’s business is built on a trend, but Yamamoto believes their longevity is secure because of a flexible business model. “We’re trying to focus on mochi desserts, so we can do anything mochi. They don’t have to be donuts.” They plan on expanding the menu with other non-donut items and beverages in the future. Yamamoto says they’re also hoping to add more Bay Area locations and even expand to Southern California and Texas. “Our company mission is to spread the greatness of Japanese food culture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134807\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134807\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4.jpg\" alt=\"Third Culture Bakery owners, Sam Butarbutar and Wenter Shyu\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Third Culture Bakery owners, Sam Butarbutar and Wenter Shyu \u003ccite>(Elaine Wu/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>However, not all mochi donuts follow the same formula. At \u003ca href=\"https://thirdculturebakery.com/\">Third Culture Bakery\u003c/a> in Berkeley, partners in business and in life, Chef Sam Butarbutar and Wenter Shyu started their wholesale business with their now famous mochi muffin back in 2016. But these days, their mochi donuts have become just as popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butarbutar used to make an Indonesian sweet steamed rice cake with his Mom called Kueh Lapis, so using rice flour was something he was used to. The combination of his classic French pastry expertise along with his desire to create something that would be true to his heritage lead to the mochi muffin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was Shyu who suggested trying the same idea with making a donut. At first, Butarbutar resisted. “After months of pestering him, he finally made one,” says Shyu, and that’s when his partner agreed to try selling it. In the Spring of 2018, they made four dozen the first day and sold out within an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134808\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134808\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5.jpg\" alt=\"Display case of mochi muffins and donuts at Third Culture Bakery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1386\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5-160x116.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5-800x578.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5-768x554.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5-1020x736.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5-1200x866.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Display case of mochi muffins and donuts at Third Culture Bakery \u003ccite>(Elaine Wu/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I think people are just obsessed with donuts. This is just a different iteration of that,” says Shyu. “And the texture of a mochi donut is just incredible!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though they still have that signature chewy texture, Third Culture Bakery’s mochi donuts are not made in the pon de ring style, and they are also gluten-free, unlike most other mochi donuts.

But these days, social media is filled with images and mentions of the mochi donut. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The combination of the American donut and Japanese mochi, a traditional rice cake made of sweet glutinous rice flour, makes a food trend that is both yummy AND photogenic. The mochi rice flour adds a chewy, almost bouncy texture to a normally dense, cakey donut. And its eye-catching appearance comes from several donut balls stuck together to form a circular ring shape, making it look more like a bracelet than a snack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mister-donut.com/\">Mister Donut\u003c/a> in Japan is credited with first selling this donut hybrid in 2003, where they call them “Pon de Rings.” Seeing how popular they were in Japan, second-generation baker, Chris Watanabe decided to start his own mochi donut shop in Honolulu called \u003ca href=\"http://modohawaii.com/\">MoDo Donuts\u003c/a> in 2017 and added signature glazes like lilikoi (passionfruit), matcha and black sesame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time MoDo set up their first temporary pop-up shop in San Jose’s \u003ca href=\"https://mitsuwa.com/sj/\">Mitsuwa Marketplace\u003c/a> in April of 2018, Bay Area foodies waited upwards of 90 minutes just to get their hands on one of these donuts. Since then, MoDo’s pop-up shop has made appearances every few months in the South Bay, and their popularity hasn’t waned judging by continued long wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134805\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134805\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2.jpg\" alt=\"Shared storefront between Yama-chan and Mochill\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-2-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shared storefront between Yama-chan and Mochill \u003ccite>(Elaine Wu/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To be a recognizable part of any trend, timing is everything, and Mochill knew they wanted to be the first ones out of the gate in San Francisco.

When they decided to open a takoyaki in Japantown, they wanted to add a separate brand that would focus instead on a sweet snack.

They don’t have to be donuts.” They plan on expanding the menu with other non-donut items and beverages in the future. Yamamoto says they’re also hoping to add more Bay Area locations and even expand to Southern California and Texas. “Our company mission is to spread the greatness of Japanese food culture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134807\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134807\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4.jpg\" alt=\"Third Culture Bakery owners, Sam Butarbutar and Wenter Shyu\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-4-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Third Culture Bakery owners, Sam Butarbutar and Wenter Shyu \u003ccite>(Elaine Wu/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>However, not all mochi donuts follow the same formula. At \u003ca href=\"https://thirdculturebakery.com/\">Third Culture Bakery\u003c/a> in Berkeley, partners in business and in life, Chef Sam Butarbutar and Wenter Shyu started their wholesale business with their now famous mochi muffin back in 2016. But these days, their mochi donuts have become just as popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butarbutar used to make an Indonesian sweet steamed rice cake with his Mom called Kueh Lapis, so using rice flour was something he was used to. The combination of his classic French pastry expertise along with his desire to create something that would be true to his heritage lead to the mochi muffin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was Shyu who suggested trying the same idea with making a donut. At first, Butarbutar resisted. “After months of pestering him, he finally made one,” says Shyu, and that’s when his partner agreed to try selling it. In the Spring of 2018, they made four dozen the first day and sold out within an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134808\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134808\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5.jpg\" alt=\"Display case of mochi muffins and donuts at Third Culture Bakery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1386\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5-160x116.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5-800x578.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5-768x554.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5-1020x736.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/09/Donuts-5-1200x866.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Display case of mochi muffins and donuts at Third Culture Bakery \u003ccite>(Elaine Wu/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I think people are just obsessed with donuts.

So we went to you, the KQED community, to find out where we could eat and drink around the Bay Area without any problems with our dogs in tow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.instagram.com/p/BzqyXSJB5RL/\">We asked you\u003c/a> to share your favorite dog-friendly bars/restaurants and, after double-checking the recommendations, we compiled a list below that gets four paws up (I consulted with my dog).

The space is pretty small, but they have outside seating for you to enjoy their breakfast sandwiches while your dog (or someone else’s dog) stares you down, hoping for a bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I personally always go for The Special Breakfast Sandwich: two eggs, bacon, avocado, pepperjack cheese and lemon-garlic aioli all on a homemade buttermilk biscuit, and I end the meal (I share!) with a warm cinnamon roll the size of my face. Devil’s Teeth has dog treats for your furry friend, but they’ll probably still be drooling for whatever you’re eating.

It could have gone one of two ways, ripe to become a local favorite or lost among the location's changing times. But then, we all know how that story goes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since it opened in 2002, Chad Robertson and Elisabeth Prueitt's shop at 18th and Guerrero streets has had a line out the door on the daily, with locals and tourists alike patiently awaiting incomparable morning buns and freshly baked breads. It was the jumping off point for a pastry (and more) empire, with Tartine Manufactory and other spin-off locations now in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even Seoul, Korea, where three locations include a bakery, coffee shop, and small market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some reason, it only took the pair 17 years to open a second bakery here in SF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134352\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134352\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/tartine-sunset-exterior.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/tartine-sunset-exterior.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/tartine-sunset-exterior-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/tartine-sunset-exterior-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/tartine-sunset-exterior-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A bright white wash, open garage door, and plenty of windows make Tartine a welcome and welcoming addition to the Inner Sunset. \u003ccite>(Sarah Chorey)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Residents of the Inner Sunset are no doubt stoked to be the beneficiaries of \u003ca href=\"https://www.tartinebakery.com/san-francisco/inner-sunset\">Tartine's newest bakery\u003c/a>; when the fog gets thick and the Mission feels far away, one needs a delicious croissant and a cup of coffee close to home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The formula at the newest Tartine Bakery is a classic one: stupid-good pastries, easy-tasty breakfast and lunch options; and a comfortable, familiar space.
