By day she works at KQED and is involved in the station's new media efforts. By night, her passions lie in vegan food and fashion. Her own blog, \u003ca href=\"http://plantmade.me/\">plantmade\u003c/a>, focuses on vegan and cruelty-free fashion.

And Valentine's Day is a biggie. Folks make reservations well in advance and snatch up flowers and confections to bring home to their loved ones. After chatting with some of my favorite local chefs, it became clear that Valentine's Day really is just another day and there are many occasions to sit down, toast one another, and prepare a special meal. I asked three simple questions to get to the heart of what a romantic day looks like in their world. Here's what I discovered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Douglas Monsalud: \u003ca href=\"http://www.kitchenettesf.com/\">Kitchenette SF\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>So Valentine’s Day. Or let’s just say, on a typical romantically-minded evening, tell us about what you and your partner like to cook/eat together at home? \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWe LOVE to make food that takes a while to cook so that we can hang out, talk while we cook, and drink good wine ; ) With that in mind, we have cooked everything from bouillabaisse to pozole, porchetta to pot roast. You know...simple, rustic, one-pot meals that are comfortable and really make you feel like you are home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Favorite dessert?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWow, favorite dessert is a tough one. I like desserts that are lighter and fruity...like the goats milk yoghurt panna cotta with blood orange compote that we've served at \u003ca href=\"http://www.heartsf.com/\">Heart Wine Bar\u003c/a>. Similarly, I have always loved creme brulee and a nice, flaky crostata with a scoop of ice cream always gets my attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> If you weren’t eating at home, where are a few of your favorite romantic spots in the Bay Area and why?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.aziza-sf.com/\">Aziza\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"http://www.gitanerestaurant.com/\"> Gitane\u003c/a> ooze romance. They have great food and the atmosphere is at once exotic and warm. Also, I always think getting a dozen oysters from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.themarshallstore.com/\">Marshall Store\u003c/a> up on Tomales Bay with a bottle of something bubbly and eating them on a bench overlooking the water is as sexy as it gets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>William Werner: \u003ca href=\"http://telltalepreserveco.com/\">Tell Tale Preserve Co.\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>So Valentine’s Day. Or let’s just say, on a typical romantically-minded evening, tell us about what you and your partner like to cook/eat together at home? \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWe don't get to spend a lot of time together as of late-- so usually a romantic dinner would consist of something simple, to spend more time together than in the kitchen, more than likely, champagne, oysters with lemon, market greens, a risotto of mushrooms and nettles, and of course chocolate (Valrhona feves straight from the bag). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Favorite dessert? \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nOf the moment: kishu mandarins. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>If you weren’t eating at home, where are a few of your favorite romantic spots in the Bay Area and why? \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://coirestaurant.com/\">Coi\u003c/a>, for getting dressed and a luxurious, intimate evening of thoughtful food.

Or let’s just say, on a typical romantically-minded evening, tell us about what you and your partner like to cook/eat together at home?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen we're eating at home we keep it pretty simple: farro with roasted chicken, or an easy pasta. We also get treats from \u003ca href=\"http://fattedcalf.com/\">Fatted Calf\u003c/a>: charcuterie, cheese, olives. We have a 9 month old son, so there's not a lot of quiet romantic evenings these days, but we do like to unwind with a bottle of kruner or falanghina. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Favorite dessert?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAnything from \u003ca href=\"http://www.humphryslocombe.com/%7C_Home_%7C.html\">Humphrey Slocombe\u003c/a>, or we'll get something from \u003ca href=\"http://telltalepreserveco.com/\">Tell Tale Preserve Co.\u003c/a> and save it for that evening.

Maybe, like a lot of folks, you see it as any other day—but let’s just say, on a typical romantically-minded evening, tell us about what you and a date like to cook/eat together?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nI think any day is a good day to be romantic. I would cook what I know they love and tickles their soft spot, even if it goes against my grain as a chef. I find just showing you paid attention will always get you brownie points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Favorite dessert?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs cliché as it sounds, you can’t go wrong with chocolate.

And Valentine's Day is a biggie. Folks make reservations well in advance and snatch up flowers and confections to bring home to their loved ones. After chatting with some of my favorite local chefs, it became clear that Valentine's Day really is just another day and there are many occasions to sit down, toast one another, and prepare a special meal. I asked three simple questions to get to the heart of what a romantic day looks like in their world. Here's what I discovered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Douglas Monsalud: \u003ca href=\"http://www.kitchenettesf.com/\">Kitchenette SF\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>So Valentine’s Day. Or let’s just say, on a typical romantically-minded evening, tell us about what you and your partner like to cook/eat together at home? \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWe LOVE to make food that takes a while to cook so that we can hang out, talk while we cook, and drink good wine ; ) With that in mind, we have cooked everything from bouillabaisse to pozole, porchetta to pot roast. You know...simple, rustic, one-pot meals that are comfortable and really make you feel like you are home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Favorite dessert?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWow, favorite dessert is a tough one. I like desserts that are lighter and fruity...like the goats milk yoghurt panna cotta with blood orange compote that we've served at \u003ca href=\"http://www.heartsf.com/\">Heart Wine Bar\u003c/a>. Similarly, I have always loved creme brulee and a nice, flaky crostata with a scoop of ice cream always gets my attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> If you weren’t eating at home, where are a few of your favorite romantic spots in the Bay Area and why?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.aziza-sf.com/\">Aziza\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"http://www.gitanerestaurant.com/\"> Gitane\u003c/a> ooze romance.

She had a \u003ca href=\"http://www.oprah.com/showinfo/Oprah-and-378-Staffers-Go-Vegan-The-One-Week-Challenge\">Vegan Challenge\u003c/a> where she and 378 Harpo staffers went vegan for a week, followed by a show on veganism, American eating habits, factory farming, and industrial agriculture. Guests Kathy Freston, Michael Pollan, and Lisa Ling joined. There have been \u003ca href=\"http://veganhope.com/2011/02/04/what-you-didnt-see-on-oprah/\">mixed emotions\u003c/a> about the show: Was it sugar-coated? Should Michael Pollan \u003ca href=\"http://saywhatmichaelpollan.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/michael-pollan-on-oprah/\">have even been there\u003c/a>? Did the \u003ca href=\"http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Inside-a-Slaughterhouse-Video\">footage of a Cargill slaughterhouse\u003c/a> correctly represent the true horror of animal agriculture (Hint: No. But a new and concise video called \u003ca href=\"http://www.meatvideo.com/\">Farm to Fridge\u003c/a> by \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercyforanimals.org/\">Mercy for Animals\u003c/a> does. So does \u003ca href=\"http://www.earthlings.com/\">Earthlings\u003c/a>.)? There was a sense of tip-toeing around the issues, which I’m sure was at least in part due to the infamous \u003ca href=\"http://articles.cnn.com/1998-02-26/us/9802_26_oprah.verdict_1_mad-cow-disease-bovine-spongiform-encephalopathy-human-version?_s=PM:US\">Texas Cattlemen vs. Oprah Winfrey\u003c/a> and Howard Lyman lawsuit of 1998. Lisa Ling mentioned that they were not allowed to shoot everything at the slaughterhouse, and Oprah even says in one segment “Let’s try not to get sued.” \u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oprah Goes Vegan\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ccode>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.oprah.com/common/omplayer_embed.html?article_id=28922\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/code>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say that good things didn’t come out of the show. One thing most vegans can probably agree upon is that it was huge exposure for the vegan lifestyle. Ten—hell, five—years ago, this wouldn’t have happened. \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-4j6vSyDu0\">Ellen\u003c/a> is awesome, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehZXRQaaPCo\">Martha\u003c/a> has been great—but really, you can’t get bigger than Oprah in terms of reaching an audience. She opened a dialogue which few media personalities have dared to open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did Oprah convince her staff to go vegan with her (who collectively lost 444 pounds and gained 84 pounds), but she also instituted \u003ca href=\"http://www.meatlessmonday.com/\">Meatless Mondays\u003c/a> at the Harpo café and created a \u003ca href=\"http://www.oprah.com/packages/vegan-starter-kit.html\">Vegan Starter Kit\u003c/a> that now lives on her website. It features a \u003ca href=\"http://static.oprah.com/images/packages/vegan-starter-kit/vegan-shopping-list.pdf\">grocery list\u003c/a>, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.oprah.com/food/Three-Week-Vegan-Menu-Plan\">3-week meal plan\u003c/a>, a list of \u003ca href=\"http://www.oprah.com/health/Kathy-Frestons-Vegan-Alternatives\">simple substitutions\u003c/a>, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.oprah.com/health/Frequently-Asked-Questions-About-Going-Vegan\">vegan FAQ\u003c/a>, and some Vegan 101 from Kathy Freston (whose new book, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1602861331/kqedorg-20\">The Veganist\u003c/a>, was the \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-elam/kathy-freston-veganist-oprah-vegan-challenge_b_819371.html?ir=Green\">number one best-selling book on Amazon\u003c/a> after the show aired). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kathy Freston on Being a Veganist\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ccode>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.oprah.com/common/omplayer_embed.html?article_id=28972\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/code>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the kit is pretty good for basic info, it does include a lot of processed foods, and TONS of Kashi (who seems to be a sponsor, \u003ca href=\"https://www.msu.edu/~howardp/organicindustry.html\">owned by Kellogg Company\u003c/a>). PETA has had a \u003ca href=\"http://features.peta.org/VegetarianStarterKit/index.asp\">Vegetarian/Vegan Starter Kit\u003c/a> on their site for years. Believe it or not, not all vegans agree with all of PETA’s tactics, but for all the controversial things they’ve done, they’ve also done a lot of good. One of those good things is their kit. It’s interactive and approachable, with traveler tips, recipes, and a shopping guide of what’s vegan at your regular, everyday supermarket (note: They are not all healthy—just vegan!). The shopping list is very handy for vegans just starting out or living in areas that are not vegan-friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I referenced kits like these when I first became vegan, but as the years have gone by, I’ve grown a lot in my knowledge of what makes my life easier, healthier, and tastier and I’ve naturally moved beyond the basics. With the help of blogs, cookbooks, videos, and yes, even celebrities, I’ve compiled, not only a great pantry and fridge, but also a strong library of resources. What better way to append the efforts of Oprah’s starter kit and online “resource center,” than to add what I know? New and exciting vegan information, products and places pop up everyday, so please feel free to comment and add resources that should be included. For those either committed to or just flirting with the idea of going vegan, I hope that this list proves useful. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In My Vegan Pantry/Fridge:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThese are not your standard tofu/veggie dog/beans suggestions that most beginner vegan guides list.

She had a \u003ca href=\"http://www.oprah.com/showinfo/Oprah-and-378-Staffers-Go-Vegan-The-One-Week-Challenge\">Vegan Challenge\u003c/a> where she and 378 Harpo staffers went vegan for a week, followed by a show on veganism, American eating habits, factory farming, and industrial agriculture. Guests Kathy Freston, Michael Pollan, and Lisa Ling joined. There have been \u003ca href=\"http://veganhope.com/2011/02/04/what-you-didnt-see-on-oprah/\">mixed emotions\u003c/a> about the show: Was it sugar-coated?

PETA has had a \u003ca href=\"http://features.peta.org/VegetarianStarterKit/index.asp\">Vegetarian/Vegan Starter Kit\u003c/a> on their site for years. Believe it or not, not all vegans agree with all of PETA’s tactics, but for all the controversial things they’ve done, they’ve also done a lot of good. One of those good things is their kit. It’s interactive and approachable, with traveler tips, recipes, and a shopping guide of what’s vegan at your regular, everyday supermarket (note: They are not all healthy—just vegan!). The shopping list is very handy for vegans just starting out or living in areas that are not vegan-friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I referenced kits like these when I first became vegan, but as the years have gone by, I’ve grown a lot in my knowledge of what makes my life easier, healthier, and tastier and I’ve naturally moved beyond the basics. With the help of blogs, cookbooks, videos, and yes, even celebrities, I’ve compiled, not only a great pantry and fridge, but also a strong library of resources. What better way to append the efforts of Oprah’s starter kit and online “resource center,” than to add what I know? New and exciting vegan information, products and places pop up everyday, so please feel free to comment and add resources that should be included.

We married in the Presidio in 2008 and had our reception at the historic Regency Center in the Lodge. Dear chef friends of ours, Freedom Rains (of Flour + Water), and Nana Guardia (at Prospect) produced the best meals our families could have ever dreamt about. Another one of our closest friends Derek McCarthy (Presidio Social Club) cooked our rehearsal dinner. Erin’s Mom still boasts to her co-workers about ‘the pork.’ We will be forever grateful to all of them. Some may think it would be tough to work with your spouse, but building ICHI together has truly strengthened our marriage, our ties to our community, and our senses of humor.” \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Thanks to a bunch of wonderful volunteers who donated their time and baked goods, we were able to raise nearly $3,000 for the cat rescue in just a few short hours. We realized what a great tool this was to raise funds for local charities and decided to make it a regular thing. The bakesales are such fun events that bring so many people together for a good cause. Plus they’re an excellent excuse to stuff your face with cupcakes and brownies!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you choose the beneficiaries of each bakesale?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Laura:\u003c/strong> We choose local organizations that the money can hopefully really impact.

I'd been vegetarian previously because I didn't want to eat animals. Why should I hug my dog and eat a pig? A pig is smarter than my dog! But my reasoning didn't go much beyond that. Reading \u003cem>Diet for a New America\u003c/em> really drove home all that's wrong with the way we raise and slaughter \"food animals.\" I mean, it's beyond screwed-up from any perspective. I figured the best way to fight back was with my wallet since all animal-product-producing companies care about is money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karin:\u003c/strong> I’ve always loved animals, and even as a young kid I couldn’t bear the thought of eating them. My folks were very supportive of my vegetarianism, and my mom used to make her own tofu burgers (which was pretty unheard of in the 80s). Once I began to learn more about factory farming and the abuses that occur not only in the meat industry but also in the egg and dairy industries, I went vegan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you feel is the biggest misconception about a vegan lifestyle?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Laura:\u003c/strong> That we don't eat and enjoy delicious food. The opposite is true; the people I know who love food the most are vegans. Honestly, Karin and I are two of the most food-motivated people you will ever meet. Over the holiday break, we both went on eating tours of other cities. Karin even had all of her meals planned out on an Excel spreadsheet! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karin:\u003c/strong> It’s true—I did plan an epic eating tour in Excel. I have to second what Laura said—vegans do eat amazing flavorful food, and yes, we do get enough protein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If a friend were visiting the Bay Area for just one day, where would you take him/her out to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Laura:\u003c/strong> Breakfast: brunch at \u003ca href=\"http://souleyvegan.com/\">Souley Vegan\u003c/a> in Oakland (biscuits and gravy!). Lunch would probably be falafel at \u003ca href=\"http://www.oldjerusalemsf.com/\">Old Jerusalem\u003c/a> or a vegan cheesesteak at \u003ca href=\"http://jayscheesesteak.com/\">Jay's Cheesesteak\u003c/a>. Dinner would either be \u003ca href=\"http://www.sahasf.com/\">Saha\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.millenniumrestaurant.com/\">Millennium\u003c/a>. Only one day? That's hard!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karin:\u003c/strong> For breakfast I’d have to go with the soyrizo breakfast burritos or vegan french toast from \u003ca href=\"http://sunriserestaurantsf.com/Welcome.html\">Sun Rise Restaurant\u003c/a> in the Mission. Then I’d do a quick trip over to the East Bay for cinnamon rolls from Cinnaholic and a vegan milkshake at \u003ca href=\"http://www.saturncafe.com/\">Saturn Café\u003c/a>, followed by lunch at \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/cha-ya-vegetarian-japanese-restaurant-berkeley\">Cha-Ya [Vegetarian Japanese Restaurant]\u003c/a>. I’d definitely pick Millennium for dinner, and if we needed a late night snack, I’d take them to get vegan pizza at \u003ca href=\"http://www.berettasf.com/\">Beretta\u003c/a>!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is your favorite vegan dish in the Bay Area?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karin:\u003c/strong> I always crave \u003ca href=\"http://ilikeikesplace.com/\">Ike’s\u003c/a> sandwiches.

We want to spread the joy and awesomeness of vegan baked goods and show the world that veganism is fun and tasty and should always involve cake. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karin:\u003c/strong> After the Worldwide Vegan Bakesale, Laura and I got to talking about doing a sale to benefit a local cat rescue that was in desperate need of funds. Thanks to a bunch of wonderful volunteers who donated their time and baked goods, we were able to raise nearly $3,000 for the cat rescue in just a few short hours. We realized what a great tool this was to raise funds for local charities and decided to make it a regular thing. The bakesales are such fun events that bring so many people together for a good cause. Plus they’re an excellent excuse to stuff your face with cupcakes and brownies!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you choose the beneficiaries of each bakesale?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Laura:\u003c/strong> We choose local organizations that the money can hopefully really impact.

I'd been vegetarian previously because I didn't want to eat animals. Why should I hug my dog and eat a pig? A pig is smarter than my dog! But my reasoning didn't go much beyond that. Reading \u003cem>Diet for a New America\u003c/em> really drove home all that's wrong with the way we raise and slaughter \"food animals.\" I mean, it's beyond screwed-up from any perspective. I figured the best way to fight back was with my wallet since all animal-product-producing companies care about is money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karin:\u003c/strong> I’ve always loved animals, and even as a young kid I couldn’t bear the thought of eating them. My folks were very supportive of my vegetarianism, and my mom used to make her own tofu burgers (which was pretty unheard of in the 80s). Once I began to learn more about factory farming and the abuses that occur not only in the meat industry but also in the egg and dairy industries, I went vegan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you feel is the biggest misconception about a vegan lifestyle?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Laura:\u003c/strong> That we don't eat and enjoy delicious food. The opposite is true; the people I know who love food the most are vegans. Honestly, Karin and I are two of the most food-motivated people you will ever meet. Over the holiday break, we both went on eating tours of other cities. Karin even had all of her meals planned out on an Excel spreadsheet! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karin:\u003c/strong> It’s true—I did plan an epic eating tour in Excel. I have to second what Laura said—vegans do eat amazing flavorful food, and yes, we do get enough protein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If a friend were visiting the Bay Area for just one day, where would you take him/her out to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Laura:\u003c/strong> Breakfast: brunch at \u003ca href=\"http://souleyvegan.com/\">Souley Vegan\u003c/a> in Oakland (biscuits and gravy!). Lunch would probably be falafel at \u003ca href=\"http://www.oldjerusalemsf.com/\">Old Jerusalem\u003c/a> or a vegan cheesesteak at \u003ca href=\"http://jayscheesesteak.com/\">Jay's Cheesesteak\u003c/a>. Dinner would either be \u003ca href=\"http://www.sahasf.com/\">Saha\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.millenniumrestaurant.com/\">Millennium\u003c/a>. Only one day? That's hard!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karin:\u003c/strong> For breakfast I’d have to go with the soyrizo breakfast burritos or vegan french toast from \u003ca href=\"http://sunriserestaurantsf.com/Welcome.html\">Sun Rise Restaurant\u003c/a> in the Mission. Then I’d do a quick trip over to the East Bay for cinnamon rolls from Cinnaholic and a vegan milkshake at \u003ca href=\"http://www.saturncafe.com/\">Saturn Café\u003c/a>, followed by lunch at \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/cha-ya-vegetarian-japanese-restaurant-berkeley\">Cha-Ya [Vegetarian Japanese Restaurant]\u003c/a>. I’d definitely pick Millennium for dinner, and if we needed a late night snack, I’d take them to get vegan pizza at \u003ca href=\"http://www.berettasf.com/\">Beretta\u003c/a>!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is your favorite vegan dish in the Bay Area?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karin:\u003c/strong> I always crave \u003ca href=\"http://ilikeikesplace.com/\">Ike’s\u003c/a> sandwiches.

Ike’s is now at \u003ca href=\"http://www.lime-sf.com/\">Lime\u003c/a>, so you can grab a drink (or three) to go with your sandwich!

Based on vegan cream-filled chocolate-glazed donuts that are offered at two favorite vegan-friendly donut shops (\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/ronalds-donuts-las-vegas\">Ronald’s Donuts\u003c/a> in Las Vegas and \u003ca href=\"http://www.voodoodoughnut.com/\">Voodoo Doughnut\u003c/a> in Portland), these sweet treats are her take on the donuts in cupcake form.

At the Fairmont Hotel, on an ordinary evening in May 1908, the evening's menu was almost as elegant: East Coast blue point oysters, filet of striped bass, new potatoes, sweetbreads and squab, French peas, salad, ice cream, fancy cakes, and \u003cem>cafe noir\u003c/em>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone thinking that a California cuisine didn't exist until Wolfgang Puck put smoked salmon on a pizza (or Alice dropped goat cheese on a salad) should head over to the San Francisco Main Library and get a mouth-watering education at \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfpl.org/index.php?pg=1003109001\">San Francisco Eats,\u003c/a> a delectably entertaining exhibit of historic menus, photographs, and other restaurant ephemera (matchboxes! matchbooks!) on display now through March 20, 2011. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curated by Sheila Himmel, a longtime restaurant critic with the San Jose Mercury News, in conjunction with Lisa Vestal, the library's head curator, the exhibit pulled most of its items from the library's own San Francisco History and Historical Photograph Collections, with additional materials from restauranteur Pat Kuleto, the Cliff House, and the Alice Statler Library at City College, among others. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being a former restaurant critic myself, I would have loved to have learned more about how the City's restaurant scene developed over the past century. Alas for restaurant geeks and city-history buffs, the commentary is limited to a paragraph or two on cards below each display case, along with a general introduction on the wall. (However, there is a great quote from Alice B. Toklas about the mad gustatory delights she and Gertrude enjoyed while dining out in the City.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there are small gems to be had: how lower Polk Street was known as \"Polkstrasse\" during the early half of the 20th century, thanks to its concentration of German restaurants and beer halls, or how pig's feet and lamb kidneys were common items, and how you could find both, along with Grape Nuts cereal, codfish in cream, and green tea, on the breakfast menu of the Clift Hotel, circa 1915. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all the menus are dated, but the bulk of them seem to date from the 1940s through the 60s, leading to much nostalgia on the part of the crowd on the exhibit's opening day. Blum's, the Magic Pan, Alfred's Steakhouse, Ernie's, Le Club, Le Trianon: you could see the years of shined shoes, hats and gloves, lipstick and martinis unspooling in memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Menus were big back then, tall and imposing. Open one and it covered your plate. A tassel might be involved, and a foreign language, probably French. A fancy night out meant this thing called Continental Cuisine, mixed up from a little French, a little Italian, maybe a dash of Spanish. Turtle soup, wine sauces, flaming desserts. Even restaurants that weren't exclusively French, like Masa's, often wrote their menus in French, connoting serious gastronomy (and perhaps, justifying their prices with a touch of Parisian glamor).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19790\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/12/mandarin-restuarnt.jpg\" alt=\"The Mandarin Restaurant in Ghirardelli Square.

There were chop-suey joints and elegant Chinese banquet halls, grab-and-go taquerias and gringo-ized Mexican places with singing senoritas, posh hotels and tiki lounges (sometimes in the same place), the Old Poodle Dog and the Koffee Kup. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's interesting, of course, to compare prices, especially among the few contemporary menus; in 1997, an order of shaking beef (bo lu lac) at the Slanted Door cost $10.50; in 2010, it's $32. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some places remain the same, even after decades of dishing up. Tadich's, Sears, the Cinderella Bakery, Zuni, even the Hayes Street Grill. Other places define a moment, then fade away. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During my decade as a critic, I probably ate in hundreds of restaurants all around the Bay Area. Only a few now-gone places still glow in recollection, the spots that made you feel like you were smack-dab in the exciting middle of things. Do I miss the actual place, or who we all were there, at that vibration in time? Still, it was easy to agree with chef and Bay Cafe host Joey Altman, during in a short panel discussion moderated by Himmel. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Asked about San Francisco restaurant trends then and now, Altman pointed out, a little wistfully, that the City still has nothing to equal Stars in its splashy, 1980s, Jeremiah-Tower heyday, when Altman was a young chef in the kitchen. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Stars was incredibly relevant for the dining scene then. There's no one 'holding court' anymore like Jeremiah did.

Only a few now-gone places still glow in recollection, the spots that made you feel like you were smack-dab in the exciting middle of things. Do I miss the actual place, or who we all were there, at that vibration in time?

There's no one 'holding court' anymore like Jeremiah did.
