"content": "\u003cp>\u003ci>By Chloé Hennen\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the headline of this story reads a tad elegiac, it's because the closing of Jardinière, after dinner service this Saturday night, after 21 years as one of the most iconic spots in town, will be a loss for San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when the texture of the city seems to be constantly changing threads and other legacy businesses are shuttering (the beloved Beach Blanket Babylon is also soon to take its final bow), some longtime San Franciscans are feeling a bit nostalgic, wondering if future generations here will have any idea what they missed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most certainly it's yet another signal of an ending era, as fine dining destinations make way for pop-ups and food trucks with cult followings. There may never be another de facto special occasion destination here quite like Jardinière, but the city will move on as the city always does. For Traci Des Jardins, though—and for every busser, server, host, GM, bartender, line cook, and chef who's ever worked for her—it's an end scene that won't soon be forgotten. But as is usual in the case of a natural death at the end of a long run, the current tenor at the corner of Grove and Franklin streets is more tuned toward celebrating life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133425\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-de-jardins-jardiniere-bar.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Traci Des Jardins has a well-deserved cocktail at the bar at Jardinière, two weeks before the restaurant was set to close.\" width=\"980\" height=\"718\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133425\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-de-jardins-jardiniere-bar.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-de-jardins-jardiniere-bar-160x117.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-de-jardins-jardiniere-bar-800x586.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-de-jardins-jardiniere-bar-768x563.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Traci Des Jardins has a well-deserved cocktail at the bar at Jardinière, two weeks before the restaurant was set to close. \u003ccite>(Aubrie Pick)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I always wanted it to be excellent, and never slip,\" said the chef over the phone on Tuesday. (It never did, as reviewer Nick Czap found when he revisited \u003ca href=\"https://www.7x7.com/rediscovering-des-jardins-20-years-jardiniere-2489536353.html\">the restaurant upon its 20th anniversary\u003c/a>.) With just five dinner services to go then, she acknowledged the moment was bittersweet—amid an outpouring of sentiment, she was characteristically resolute: \"Jardinière is such a personal, high touch place, it requires a big part of me for it to feel right. I'm in a different phase in my life now, so I feel ready to let it go.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Des Jardins' signature restaurant has, of course, been a primary influencer—alongside Alice Waters' Chez Panisse and Judy Rodgers' Zuni Cafe—in the way we eat and dine here; their philosophies running deep beneath the buzz words they helped create: local, seasonal, sustainable—to say nothing of being damn delicious. But the restaurant famed for its martini-cut double doors, sparkling champagne dome, warm bread salad, and duck liver mousse was best-loved among its regulars for the culture of high care and hospitality that Des Jardins fostered with her incredibly pro and devoted team. For many, it was our Cheers—albeit a pretty fancy Cheers—where they called us by name while serving our Tsar Nicolai caviar beneath Tiffany-style lamps at the bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you know anything about Traci, you already know that the end of \u003ca href=\"https://jardiniere.com/\">Jardinière\u003c/a> is by no means the end of Des Jardins. She will continue on in her hard-working role as a day-to-day restaurateur (let's not forget that she still helms a handful of eateries in SF) and as an \u003ca href=\"https://www.7x7.com/givers-shakers-traci-des-jardins-la-empatica-1787004397.html\">industry mentor and sage\u003c/a>. But Jardinière, as she says, was \"the mother ship,\" and it has beamed us all up in one way or another, leaving a lasting impression as the backdrop of our heady first dates, intoxicating proposals, milestone birthdays, and black-tie gala nights since it opened in 1997. The space has even seen its share of weddings, even my own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008 I exchanged marriage vows beneath that iconic dome, and descended that gracefully curving staircase to share croquembouche and glasses of Billecart-Salmon (the house favorite Champagne) with family and friends, Traci among them. It would probably make for a neater story had that union been happy and lasting (the setting way outlived the sanctity of the marriage), but I still carry with me that rare sense of specialness imparted by the place and its host. In an interview with 7x7 back in 2014, Traci's pal, MythBusters star Adam Savage, called her \"as salt-of-the-earth as it gets.\" She welcomes everyone around her like family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In talking to Traci and to some of her team during the restaurant's final days, family is the theme that keeps bubbling up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133426\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/amy-reynolds-traci-des-jardins-jardiniere.jpg\" alt=\"Traci Des Jardins with Amy Reynolds, her chief of staff.\" width=\"980\" height=\"694\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133426\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/amy-reynolds-traci-des-jardins-jardiniere.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/amy-reynolds-traci-des-jardins-jardiniere-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/amy-reynolds-traci-des-jardins-jardiniere-800x567.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/amy-reynolds-traci-des-jardins-jardiniere-768x544.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traci Des Jardins with Amy Reynolds, her chief of staff. \u003ccite>(Amy Reynolds)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I cried all the way through it,\" she told me in a text message, on March 25th, of sharing the news with her team, just before Kim Severson \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/dining/jardiniere-closing-traci-des-jardins.html?fbclid=IwAR3PFrP6md0pxsDAPe7TBmrff4IXW8vHrF64zCKUqKwyGMIzjSkULj3h0Fs\">shared it with the world via The New York Times\u003c/a>. \"It was an amazing experience, how much they could all hold me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since word got out, the brick walls of the old restaurant have been packed with regulars returning to pay final tribute—my favorite-ever caviar presentation, the one that hasn't changed in 21 years, flying out of the kitchen each night and all night long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133427\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 607px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-tonald-link-jardiniere.jpg\" alt=\"Des Jardins with Donald Link, the restaurant's opening kitchen manager, in 1997.\" width=\"607\" height=\"761\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-tonald-link-jardiniere.jpg 607w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-tonald-link-jardiniere-160x201.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Des Jardins with Donald Link, the restaurant's opening kitchen manager, in 1997. \u003ccite>(Traci Des Jardins via Facebook)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"We aren't staffed to handle this kind of volume, so alums have been coming in to work shifts, both front and back of house, to lend a hand,\" she said. \"It's the way that it feels in terms of a family, how connected our people are and the bonds they've formed here.\" Many of her closing team has been with her for ages—executive chef Audie Golder joined the line in 2009 as a 23-year-old fresh from culinary school; and chief of staff Amy Reynolds started as a hostess a decade ago. Many of those who did get away didn't go far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Robbie Lewis' kids were practically born here,\" laughs Traci, who first hired Lewis in her pre-Jardinière days at the now-closed but then much-hyped and celebrity-backed FiDi restaurant Rubicon. He quit soon after to take a job at another much-hyped, now-closed restaurant—\"She was so pissed at me she was shaking and crying, and I was crying, and she told me I would regret this,\" Lewis remembers, \"and I did. I tucked my tail, went back to Rubicon and was all in—from that moment I decided I would do whatever Traci said. I was like, this is my person. She is my chef.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133428\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/robbie-lewis-dante-jardiniere.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Robbie Lewis with his son, Dante (who's now 16), at Jardinière back in the day.\" width=\"980\" height=\"654\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133428\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/robbie-lewis-dante-jardiniere.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/robbie-lewis-dante-jardiniere-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/robbie-lewis-dante-jardiniere-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/robbie-lewis-dante-jardiniere-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Robbie Lewis with his son, Dante (who's now 16), at Jardinière back in the day. \u003ccite>(Robbie Lewis)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the two-plus decades since, Lewis logged about eight years in the kitchen at Jardinière, where he became executive chef in 2002, and then helped open her pair of Presidio restaurants. He's a big, outwardly macho guy and a fierce commander in the kitchen, and yet he immediately goes soft on the topic of his mentor and her mother ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Traci's been thinking about this decision for some time, and she called to tell me about a week before the news broke. But on that day, I got all these calls and social media started going crazy, and it was so much more impactful than I expected. It was really an emotionally tender moment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He recalled his early days in Traci's kitchen, where though he was just three years her junior, there was no questioning who was the boss. \"In terms of having your shit together, she was just way ahead of me. She was this force to be reckoned with, a badass chef, a ball buster, with this amazing tenacity and ability to keep cranking it out.\" Lewis captures Traci—the Scorpio who can be deadly serious and X-acto sharp, but also nurturing and old-soul wise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has this ability to mentor in a style that's empowering. She allows you to make mistakes. And she was always generous with me in the press, sharing her shine which a lot of chefs would never fucking do,\" he said. \"She has challenged me in so many ways, not just to be a better chef, but to be a better husband and father.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stories like these are the norm among the Jardinière tribe. Chief of staff Reynolds met both her best friend and husband here as she worked her way through pretty much every front-of-house and service job outside of the kitchen before the chef took a chance and made the server her personal assistant. Over the past several years, they forged an unknown path together. \"In the kitchen, it's very clear what your job is. You make food, there are techniques and fundamentals. if you're cutting an onion wrong, Traci can step in and offer another way of doing it. In our world, we kind of figured it out together; her years and expertise were a mentorship for me,\" said Reynolds, who though she will remain on Traci's team, is also feeling the tug of Jardinière's last days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a freak wave of emotion,\" she said. \"Some days it's all business and let's just get through steps 1 to 15, and other days it's so emotional. I gave a pep talk to the staff before service the other day and ended up just bawling—I thought, god this is so embarrassing. This is my family and my home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chef Audie, as they call him, never could get away from the restaurant though he did try. \"Every time I thought about leaving, some new door opened up for me here. [Traci's] given me quite a bit of creative freedom...There was a point when we were going through like 30 pounds of kimchi, and kimchi's not really an ingredient you'd expect to see at Jardinière, but she's always been open to ideas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When someone actually does leave the restaurant, it's tradition that they tell a story, some memory of it, on their final day. \"I've been thinking about what mine would be,\" said Golder, who says meeting his wife, Michelle (now a baker at B. Patisserie), on the line back in 2012 takes the cake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems clear that all of this—the mentorship, the bonds, the marriages, and babies—are not the product of Jardinière's 21-year tenure but rather the reason for it. Silicon Valley companies can talk all day long about their \"culture,\" but they'll never have anything on this place, where passion started, and was shared, from the top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But back to that celebration of life. Jardinière may be done—get in for one last toast before the kitchen closes on Saturday, April 27th—but you'll find that same spirit of hospitality on tap, or better—in the form of a margarita—at the various local Mexican- and Spanish-style restaurants (all blessedly more affordable than the French-Californian mother ship) inspired by Traci's Mexican heritage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's also cooking up something new, because at the end of day, Traci is Jardinière—which is French for a female gardener—and still just 53, she has plenty tending left to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133429\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait.jpg\" alt=\"Traci Des Jardins, photographed for 7x7's December 2014 print edition.\" width=\"980\" height=\"1225\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133429\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait-160x200.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait-800x1000.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait-768x960.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait-960x1200.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traci Des Jardins, photographed for 7x7's December 2014 print edition. \u003ccite>(Matt Edge)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This article originally appeared on \u003ca href=\"https://www.7x7.com/bidding-adieu-to-jardiniere-san-francisco-2635443513.html\">7x7 Bay Area.\u003c/a>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

There may never be another de facto special occasion destination here quite like Jardinière, but the city will move on as the city always does. For Traci Des Jardins, though—and for every busser, server, host, GM, bartender, line cook, and chef who's ever worked for her—it's an end scene that won't soon be forgotten. But as is usual in the case of a natural death at the end of a long run, the current tenor at the corner of Grove and Franklin streets is more tuned toward celebrating life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133425\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-de-jardins-jardiniere-bar.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Traci Des Jardins has a well-deserved cocktail at the bar at Jardinière, two weeks before the restaurant was set to close.\" width=\"980\" height=\"718\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133425\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-de-jardins-jardiniere-bar.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-de-jardins-jardiniere-bar-160x117.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-de-jardins-jardiniere-bar-800x586.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-de-jardins-jardiniere-bar-768x563.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Traci Des Jardins has a well-deserved cocktail at the bar at Jardinière, two weeks before the restaurant was set to close. \u003ccite>(Aubrie Pick)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I always wanted it to be excellent, and never slip,\" said the chef over the phone on Tuesday. (It never did, as reviewer Nick Czap found when he revisited \u003ca href=\"https://www.7x7.com/rediscovering-des-jardins-20-years-jardiniere-2489536353.html\">the restaurant upon its 20th anniversary\u003c/a>.) With just five dinner services to go then, she acknowledged the moment was bittersweet—amid an outpouring of sentiment, she was characteristically resolute: \"Jardinière is such a personal, high touch place, it requires a big part of me for it to feel right. I'm in a different phase in my life now, so I feel ready to let it go.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the restaurant famed for its martini-cut double doors, sparkling champagne dome, warm bread salad, and duck liver mousse was best-loved among its regulars for the culture of high care and hospitality that Des Jardins fostered with her incredibly pro and devoted team. For many, it was our Cheers—albeit a pretty fancy Cheers—where they called us by name while serving our Tsar Nicolai caviar beneath Tiffany-style lamps at the bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you know anything about Traci, you already know that the end of \u003ca href=\"https://jardiniere.com/\">Jardinière\u003c/a> is by no means the end of Des Jardins. She will continue on in her hard-working role as a day-to-day restaurateur (let's not forget that she still helms a handful of eateries in SF) and as an \u003ca href=\"https://www.7x7.com/givers-shakers-traci-des-jardins-la-empatica-1787004397.html\">industry mentor and sage\u003c/a>. But Jardinière, as she says, was \"the mother ship,\" and it has beamed us all up in one way or another, leaving a lasting impression as the backdrop of our heady first dates, intoxicating proposals, milestone birthdays, and black-tie gala nights since it opened in 1997. The space has even seen its share of weddings, even my own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008 I exchanged marriage vows beneath that iconic dome, and descended that gracefully curving staircase to share croquembouche and glasses of Billecart-Salmon (the house favorite Champagne) with family and friends, Traci among them. It would probably make for a neater story had that union been happy and lasting (the setting way outlived the sanctity of the marriage), but I still carry with me that rare sense of specialness imparted by the place and its host. In an interview with 7x7 back in 2014, Traci's pal, MythBusters star Adam Savage, called her \"as salt-of-the-earth as it gets.\" She welcomes everyone around her like family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In talking to Traci and to some of her team during the restaurant's final days, family is the theme that keeps bubbling up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133426\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/amy-reynolds-traci-des-jardins-jardiniere.jpg\" alt=\"Traci Des Jardins with Amy Reynolds, her chief of staff.\" width=\"980\" height=\"694\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133426\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/amy-reynolds-traci-des-jardins-jardiniere.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/amy-reynolds-traci-des-jardins-jardiniere-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/amy-reynolds-traci-des-jardins-jardiniere-800x567.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/amy-reynolds-traci-des-jardins-jardiniere-768x544.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traci Des Jardins with Amy Reynolds, her chief of staff. \u003ccite>(Amy Reynolds)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I cried all the way through it,\" she told me in a text message, on March 25th, of sharing the news with her team, just before Kim Severson \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/dining/jardiniere-closing-traci-des-jardins.html?fbclid=IwAR3PFrP6md0pxsDAPe7TBmrff4IXW8vHrF64zCKUqKwyGMIzjSkULj3h0Fs\">shared it with the world via The New York Times\u003c/a>. \"It was an amazing experience, how much they could all hold me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since word got out, the brick walls of the old restaurant have been packed with regulars returning to pay final tribute—my favorite-ever caviar presentation, the one that hasn't changed in 21 years, flying out of the kitchen each night and all night long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133427\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 607px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-tonald-link-jardiniere.jpg\" alt=\"Des Jardins with Donald Link, the restaurant's opening kitchen manager, in 1997.\" width=\"607\" height=\"761\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-tonald-link-jardiniere.jpg 607w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-tonald-link-jardiniere-160x201.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Des Jardins with Donald Link, the restaurant's opening kitchen manager, in 1997. \u003ccite>(Traci Des Jardins via Facebook)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"We aren't staffed to handle this kind of volume, so alums have been coming in to work shifts, both front and back of house, to lend a hand,\" she said. \"It's the way that it feels in terms of a family, how connected our people are and the bonds they've formed here.\" Many of her closing team has been with her for ages—executive chef Audie Golder joined the line in 2009 as a 23-year-old fresh from culinary school; and chief of staff Amy Reynolds started as a hostess a decade ago. Many of those who did get away didn't go far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Robbie Lewis' kids were practically born here,\" laughs Traci, who first hired Lewis in her pre-Jardinière days at the now-closed but then much-hyped and celebrity-backed FiDi restaurant Rubicon. He quit soon after to take a job at another much-hyped, now-closed restaurant—\"She was so pissed at me she was shaking and crying, and I was crying, and she told me I would regret this,\" Lewis remembers, \"and I did. I tucked my tail, went back to Rubicon and was all in—from that moment I decided I would do whatever Traci said. I was like, this is my person. She is my chef.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133428\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/robbie-lewis-dante-jardiniere.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Robbie Lewis with his son, Dante (who's now 16), at Jardinière back in the day.\" width=\"980\" height=\"654\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133428\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/robbie-lewis-dante-jardiniere.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/robbie-lewis-dante-jardiniere-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/robbie-lewis-dante-jardiniere-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/robbie-lewis-dante-jardiniere-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Robbie Lewis with his son, Dante (who's now 16), at Jardinière back in the day. \u003ccite>(Robbie Lewis)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the two-plus decades since, Lewis logged about eight years in the kitchen at Jardinière, where he became executive chef in 2002, and then helped open her pair of Presidio restaurants. He's a big, outwardly macho guy and a fierce commander in the kitchen, and yet he immediately goes soft on the topic of his mentor and her mother ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Traci's been thinking about this decision for some time, and she called to tell me about a week before the news broke. But on that day, I got all these calls and social media started going crazy, and it was so much more impactful than I expected. It was really an emotionally tender moment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He recalled his early days in Traci's kitchen, where though he was just three years her junior, there was no questioning who was the boss. \"In terms of having your shit together, she was just way ahead of me. She was this force to be reckoned with, a badass chef, a ball buster, with this amazing tenacity and ability to keep cranking it out.\" Lewis captures Traci—the Scorpio who can be deadly serious and X-acto sharp, but also nurturing and old-soul wise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has this ability to mentor in a style that's empowering. She allows you to make mistakes. And she was always generous with me in the press, sharing her shine which a lot of chefs would never fucking do,\" he said. \"She has challenged me in so many ways, not just to be a better chef, but to be a better husband and father.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stories like these are the norm among the Jardinière tribe. Chief of staff Reynolds met both her best friend and husband here as she worked her way through pretty much every front-of-house and service job outside of the kitchen before the chef took a chance and made the server her personal assistant. Over the past several years, they forged an unknown path together. \"In the kitchen, it's very clear what your job is. You make food, there are techniques and fundamentals. if you're cutting an onion wrong, Traci can step in and offer another way of doing it. In our world, we kind of figured it out together; her years and expertise were a mentorship for me,\" said Reynolds, who though she will remain on Traci's team, is also feeling the tug of Jardinière's last days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a freak wave of emotion,\" she said. \"Some days it's all business and let's just get through steps 1 to 15, and other days it's so emotional. I gave a pep talk to the staff before service the other day and ended up just bawling—I thought, god this is so embarrassing. This is my family and my home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chef Audie, as they call him, never could get away from the restaurant though he did try. \"Every time I thought about leaving, some new door opened up for me here. [Traci's] given me quite a bit of creative freedom...There was a point when we were going through like 30 pounds of kimchi, and kimchi's not really an ingredient you'd expect to see at Jardinière, but she's always been open to ideas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When someone actually does leave the restaurant, it's tradition that they tell a story, some memory of it, on their final day. \"I've been thinking about what mine would be,\" said Golder, who says meeting his wife, Michelle (now a baker at B. Patisserie), on the line back in 2012 takes the cake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems clear that all of this—the mentorship, the bonds, the marriages, and babies—are not the product of Jardinière's 21-year tenure but rather the reason for it. Silicon Valley companies can talk all day long about their \"culture,\" but they'll never have anything on this place, where passion started, and was shared, from the top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But back to that celebration of life. Jardinière may be done—get in for one last toast before the kitchen closes on Saturday, April 27th—but you'll find that same spirit of hospitality on tap, or better—in the form of a margarita—at the various local Mexican- and Spanish-style restaurants (all blessedly more affordable than the French-Californian mother ship) inspired by Traci's Mexican heritage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's also cooking up something new, because at the end of day, Traci is Jardinière—which is French for a female gardener—and still just 53, she has plenty tending left to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133429\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 980px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait.jpg\" alt=\"Traci Des Jardins, photographed for 7x7's December 2014 print edition.\" width=\"980\" height=\"1225\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133429\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait.jpg 980w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait-160x200.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait-800x1000.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait-768x960.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/04/traci-des-jardins-portrait-960x1200.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traci Des Jardins, photographed for 7x7's December 2014 print edition. \u003ccite>(Matt Edge)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Additionally, there are organizations like\u003ca href=\"https://womenchefs.org/\"> Women Chefs & Restaurateurs\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.jamesbeard.org/womens-entrepreneurial-leadership-program\">James Beard Foundation's Women Entrepreneurial Leadership Program\u003c/a> that have been working to give more women resources to start their own restaurants and companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Women’s History Month, you can help these local, hardworking women by putting your money where your mouth is and going to support a female-led or owned business.

Meet the talented and dynamic women who are creating San Francisco’s canna-culinary culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"bayareabites_124226\" label=\"More Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naturally, the busy intersection of San Francisco’s cannabis and culinary worlds is a vibrant one, with a passion for sun-grown cannabis and well-made products matched by our commitment to caring how our food is grown, sourced, and prepared, and the same goes for the wine we’re pairing with our meals (and now we're going full circle with cannabis cultivars as well). They are all agricultural products, after all. Underground cannabis dinner parties are a hot ticket, and we aren’t talking about munchie chow-downs with three-cheese nachos — it’s more like smoked tangerines with albacore crudo, English peas, fennel, crème fraîche, and infused olive oil. Because that’s how we roll here (joints included).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132766\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132766\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/cannaisseur-panna-cotta-800x1201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1201\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cinnamon panna cotta with mulled wine and 2mg of non-psychoactive THCA by Coreen Carroll of Cannaisseur Series. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>An unexpected development is the large number of women who are leading the local canna-culinary scene, many of them Asian American — a welcome contrast to SF’s primarily white cis male–dominated chef landscape. Some of these canna chefs have culinary training, while others are self-taught, bringing forth the dishes, flavors, and techniques of their family roots and histories, weaving in some local influences and ingredients, all with an elevated touch. We’re also seeing female producers of sophisticated canna-culinary experiences, content creators, and community builders, all contributing their many talents and hustle to a burgeoning scene that is unique to San Francisco and our culture here. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Best of all: many of these women collaborate together on their events.

The City of West Hollywood is quite a bit ahead of SF’s canna cuisine scene — Morgan gives us a peek at what’s happening south: “With the recent permitting of [four] onsite consumption lounges in West Hollywood, women are upping the ante on the culinary cannabis game, and are working to open some of the first spaces in the world where people will be able to combine a restaurant dining experience with their love of cannabis. I am very excited to be working on one of these lounges myself, and look forward to seeing the diversity of ways these lounges explore the endless possibilities for culinary cannabis. There is a place for cannabis alongside many classic culinary traditions, and it’s going to be very exciting to see how the community here in Los Angeles creates an entirely new category of dining experiences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132762\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132762\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/C2K-demo-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coreen Carroll and Stephanie Hua doing a recipe demo from their Edibles cookbook at the Crop-to-Kitchen Winter Meet-Up. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Morgan adds: “The importance of having an organization like C2K, which is led by some of the leading minds in the culinary cannabis industry, taking up the charge of working with lawmakers to ensure a path for sensible regulations, [and] will pave the way for a culinary cannabis industry where chefs and restaurants can safely serve food alongside cannabis, create perfectly-dosed gourmet dishes, and open up new avenues for premium edibles that more closely resemble food than candy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132764\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-132764 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/salo-series-PDH-party-pic-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pot d'Huile's infused olive oil was a popular guest at Yana Gilbuena's Horno Buena kamayan feast. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>SF has a ways to go before we can plunk down at a cannabis café and order avocado toast with 3mg of cannabis-infused olive oil drizzled over it — with current California Department of Health regulations, we can’t even add CBD oil from hemp — but if you want to see it all happen, now is the time to get involved.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132768\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132768\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/bbw-oysters-800x570.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"570\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guests could finish freshly shucked oysters with cannabis herb oil at Big Bad Wolf's third anniversary party. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, here are some of the inspiring women to watch who are leading and shaping our local cannabis culinary scene, from chefs to event hosts to content creators — meet the makers of our future canna restaurant industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132770\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132770\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/thu-infused-dessert-sous-weed-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dessert at a collaborative Thursday Infused night with Sous Weed . \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Coreen Carroll: \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"https://cannaisseurseries.com\">\u003cb>The Cannaisseur Series\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132772\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132772\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/cannaisseurseries_094_rgb_Castro-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Coreen Carroll keeps many things lit at her Cannaisseur Series events. \u003ccite>(Ashleigh Castro)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A trailblazer in SF's cannabis dinner scene, nothing beats the party vibe and lively, diverse crowd of a Cannaisseur Series dinner or brunch.

A holy candle rests on his dashboard; a rosary hangs from the rearview mirror. \u003ccite>(Jasmine Garsd/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The hotel restaurant where Ibarra works as a food runner boasts creative, artisanal and healthy meals. People in the San Francisco Bay Area are known for being foodies (the city now has the \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/food/record-breaking-year-for-michelin-starred-restaurants-in-san-francisco/4792454/\">most Michelin three-star restaurants\u003c/a> in the U.S.).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But behind kitchen doors, tension has been stewing for years: Service industry workers like Ibarra say they can no longer afford to live in the Bay Area on their wages. And restaurant owners say the high cost of life has made it hard to retain staff, and even to stay in business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area is notoriously expensive. As the tech industry grows, rents have soared. A one-bedroom apartment costs well over $3,000 a month. The minimum wage just went up to \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/olse/minimum-wage-ordinance-mwo\">$15 an hour\u003c/a>, but the cost of living also keeps rising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ibarra makes around $15 an hour. He used to commute from neighboring San Jose, one of the most expensive cities in the country. He paid $800 a month for a room, but just slept there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When traffic was bad, the drive back from work could take as much as three hours. \"You would go bumper-to-bumper, bumper-to-bumper sometimes. You get crazy,\" Ibarra says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He considered renting near work. But he couldn't afford it. He figured he was already spending as much as four hours a day in the car, so he might as well just sleep there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plight of low-wage workers like Ibarra is affecting the restaurant business. Just last year, \u003ca href=\"https://sf.eater.com/2017/9/22/16352884/restaurants-bars-closed-fall-2018-san-francisco-bay-area\">several high-profile eateries shut down.\u003c/a> One of them was Camino, known for its wood-fired cuisine. Co-owner Allison Hopelain says the restaurant took a major hit when its chef moved to Seattle because he couldn't afford to live in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[He] felt like he would have better opportunities there in terms of opening his own place, buying a home,\" Hopelain says. She says things started unraveling when he left. Last year, after about a decade in business, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/Say-goodbye-to-Camino-a-restaurant-too-special-13455156.php\">Camino closed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopelain went on to open The Kebabery in Oakland. It's a small, cafeteria-style joint. You just pick your food and find a table. She says it's a much more affordable business model, but she also thinks it's what a lot of customers want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decades ago, eating out was a special occasion, but these days Hopelain says people want to grab a quick, affordable bite of good food, and head back to their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132835\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132835\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/kitchen-1_custom-618f38170402def5c8b8bade8e884996486b4922.jpg\" alt=\"Allison Hopelain, owner of The Kebabery in Oakland, Calif., says the cafeteria-style restaurant reflects the changing tastes of customers who now want to grab a quick, affordable meal and head back to their lives.\" width=\"640\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/kitchen-1_custom-618f38170402def5c8b8bade8e884996486b4922.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/kitchen-1_custom-618f38170402def5c8b8bade8e884996486b4922-160x156.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/kitchen-1_custom-618f38170402def5c8b8bade8e884996486b4922-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/03/kitchen-1_custom-618f38170402def5c8b8bade8e884996486b4922-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Allison Hopelain, owner of The Kebabery in Oakland, Calif., says the cafeteria-style restaurant reflects the changing tastes of customers who now want to grab a quick, affordable meal and head back to their lives. \u003ccite>(Allison Hopelain/Courtesy of The Kebabery)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few minutes north of Oakland, Peter Levitt says his restaurant, with waiters, hosts and food runners, is part of a dying breed. \"Your old diners with booths and breakfast and lunch table service.

People in the San Francisco Bay Area are known for being foodies (the city now has the \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/food/record-breaking-year-for-michelin-starred-restaurants-in-san-francisco/4792454/\">most Michelin three-star restaurants\u003c/a> in the U.S.).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But behind kitchen doors, tension has been stewing for years: Service industry workers like Ibarra say they can no longer afford to live in the Bay Area on their wages. And restaurant owners say the high cost of life has made it hard to retain staff, and even to stay in business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area is notoriously expensive. As the tech industry grows, rents have soared. A one-bedroom apartment costs well over $3,000 a month. The minimum wage just went up to \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/olse/minimum-wage-ordinance-mwo\">$15 an hour\u003c/a>, but the cost of living also keeps rising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
