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

So far she has learned that she very much enjoys salted caramel anything, a good soup dumpling is worth a scalded tongue, and there is no room in life for non-fat cheese and crappy chocolate. Also, a barrel of cheese balls never ends well. \r\n\r\nStephanie has been known to choose her company based on how much they can pack it down. Ability to endure cramped quarters, sketchy back alleys, and uncharted paths to seek out that special dish is also a plus in her book. If you fit the criteria, drop a note. You’ll probably get along just fine.\r\n\r\nStephanie's writing and photography have been featured in Fodor's Travel, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, Serious Eats, and Sundance Channel.

In fact, winemaking in Livermore Valley goes all the way back to the Spanish missionaries. Some of the only wineries to survive Prohibition in California are located here. The historic \u003ca href=\"http://www.wentevineyards.com/\">Wente\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.concannonvineyard.com/\">Concannon\u003c/a> wineries now anchor a growing wine region with more than forty wineries, many of them boutique wine producers with tasting rooms along main thoroughfares like Tesla Road. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.lvwine.org/\">The Livermore Valley: Worth a visit\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe Livermore Valley may be lesser known than its neighbors to the northwest, but the region (which spans six cities) is producing some award-winning wines on par with those from Sonoma and Napa. If you want to spend less time and money on a wine country visit, Livermore Valley, generally, has more modest tasting fees and bottle prices than Sonoma or Napa. I also found the winemakers to be more accessible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of recent trips to Livermore wine country gave me the chance to sample the region’s wares. Here are a few smaller wineries I think are worth exploring:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/IMG_0373.jpg\" alt=\"Rhonda Wood, Winemaker at Wood Family Vineyards\" title=\"Rhonda Wood, Winemaker at Wood Family Vineyards\" width=\"500\" height=\"445\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48043\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Rhonda Wood, Winemaker at Wood Family Vineyards\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.woodfamilyvineyards.com/\">Wood Family Vineyards\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWhat does a former U.S. Airways pilot do when she is no longer flying commercial jetliners? She makes wine, of course. Rhonda Wood, a local favorite, used to make beer but eventually caught the wine bug. She taught herself to make wine by reading books, attending UC Davis extension classes and volunteering at wineries. In 2000 she and her husband, Michael, started Wood Family Vineyards. They consistently sell out of their wine through a mailing list and events that they hold at their Livermore Valley vineyard home. The day I visited I noticed something I don't generally hear in a barrel room -- local female folk rock vocalists blaring over the speakers. Wood is one of few female winemakers I have interviewed. She says, as a pilot, she is used to working in a male dominated world and if she has encountered obstacles, she doesn't mention them. Her attitude about awards, and she has won several of them, is equally matter of fact. \"How many awards do you need,\" she asked me. After tasting through about a half dozen of her wines, I had a favorite -- a smooth, rich, 2009 Zinfandel from Livermore Valley ($28).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/1010181749091ajw_cabfrcrush___29_sm.jpg\" alt=\"Jim Frost, Winemaker at Auburn James\" title=\"Jim Frost, Winemaker at Auburn James\" width=\"500\" height=\"370\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48048\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Jim Frost, Winemaker at Auburn James.

This English born former engineer is kind of a winemaker’s winemaker. The strong silent type, Frost seems more comfortable working behind the scenes making hits like his 2009 Auburn James Diablo Rosso ($60), an Alamo Tennat and Cab Blend that he creates with a custom crush client. This is a rich, balanced wine with red fruits including a hint of rhubarb. I also enjoyed a very nice, more affordable Pinot Noir ($34) and a 2008 Viognier ($30) that I am still trying to decide if I like.

In fact, winemaking in Livermore Valley goes all the way back to the Spanish missionaries. Some of the only wineries to survive Prohibition in California are located here. The historic \u003ca href=\"http://www.wentevineyards.com/\">Wente\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.concannonvineyard.com/\">Concannon\u003c/a> wineries now anchor a growing wine region with more than forty wineries, many of them boutique wine producers with tasting rooms along main thoroughfares like Tesla Road. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.lvwine.org/\">The Livermore Valley: Worth a visit\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe Livermore Valley may be lesser known than its neighbors to the northwest, but the region (which spans six cities) is producing some award-winning wines on par with those from Sonoma and Napa. If you want to spend less time and money on a wine country visit, Livermore Valley, generally, has more modest tasting fees and bottle prices than Sonoma or Napa. I also found the winemakers to be more accessible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of recent trips to Livermore wine country gave me the chance to sample the region’s wares. Here are a few smaller wineries I think are worth exploring:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/IMG_0373.jpg\" alt=\"Rhonda Wood, Winemaker at Wood Family Vineyards\" title=\"Rhonda Wood, Winemaker at Wood Family Vineyards\" width=\"500\" height=\"445\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48043\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Rhonda Wood, Winemaker at Wood Family Vineyards\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She makes wine, of course. Rhonda Wood, a local favorite, used to make beer but eventually caught the wine bug. She taught herself to make wine by reading books, attending UC Davis extension classes and volunteering at wineries. In 2000 she and her husband, Michael, started Wood Family Vineyards. They consistently sell out of their wine through a mailing list and events that they hold at their Livermore Valley vineyard home. The day I visited I noticed something I don't generally hear in a barrel room -- local female folk rock vocalists blaring over the speakers. Wood is one of few female winemakers I have interviewed. She says, as a pilot, she is used to working in a male dominated world and if she has encountered obstacles, she doesn't mention them. Her attitude about awards, and she has won several of them, is equally matter of fact. \"How many awards do you need,\" she asked me. After tasting through about a half dozen of her wines, I had a favorite -- a smooth, rich, 2009 Zinfandel from Livermore Valley ($28).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/1010181749091ajw_cabfrcrush___29_sm.jpg\" alt=\"Jim Frost, Winemaker at Auburn James\" title=\"Jim Frost, Winemaker at Auburn James\" width=\"500\" height=\"370\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48048\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Jim Frost, Winemaker at Auburn James.

This English born former engineer is kind of a winemaker’s winemaker. The strong silent type, Frost seems more comfortable working behind the scenes making hits like his 2009 Auburn James Diablo Rosso ($60), an Alamo Tennat and Cab Blend that he creates with a custom crush client. This is a rich, balanced wine with red fruits including a hint of rhubarb. I also enjoyed a very nice, more affordable Pinot Noir ($34) and a 2008 Viognier ($30) that I am still trying to decide if I like. On the nose it’s a ripe, juicy apricot but on the palate I tasted cloves and bitters. This is a very interesting wine that pairs well with spicy food.

It was bold yet well balanced enough that you didn't really notice. And I am not the biggest Bordeaux fan, so that is saying something. I would say I am Chardonnay-curious. I rarely liked it oaked but Huge Bear pulled it off. For the past three years, anytime I want a Zin, I turn to Peachy Canyon and that was true again at this event. This particular one is very well balanced and just fruit forward enough to be called a Zin. Hahn Family Wines has not only one of the best tasting rooms in California and if you happen to visit, buy a bottle of their GSM Blend and enjoy it on the deck. The wine has some nice berry notes with a little bit of spiciness to pull it all together. You'll also find notes of vanilla and clove. The Berry Box blend is just like the name states. A swirling mix of dark fruits and cassis, this is the wine for dinner. It's hearty and a bit juicy. The Teon Roble is similar, definitely fleshy but extremely well balanced. Also good with a hearty meal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/IMG_5047.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/IMG_5047.jpg\" alt=\"Carnival Fun at Wine Riot\" title=\"Carnival Fun at Wine Riot\" width=\"560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46694\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what Wine Riot really brings to the wine tasting circuit is accessibility.

And there's always some cheese table which looks better than it actually is (Cowgirl Creamery anyone?) and, of course, buckets and buckets of mini-baguettes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is of course, unless the event is \u003ca href=\"http://secondglass.com/wineriot/\">Wine Riot\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/IMG_5007.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/IMG_5007.jpg\" alt=\"Lite Brite Ticket Booth\" title=\"Lite Brite Ticket Booth\" width=\"560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46691\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bread and cheese has been replaced with...more bread and cheese, but in the shape of pizza. Though, unlike the free offerings at other events, it's $4 a pop for a slice. There's a photo booth and accompanying costumes from what I can only imagine is the Bay to Breakers lost and found. Oh, and there are a ton of temporary tattoo choices also.

That's not to say there weren't some gems. I walked away with a list of wines I plan to stock up on, drink a lot of and even share with friends. But if you fancy yourself a connoisseur, this is not the event for you. However, if you like decent wine, good people, a fun time without the attitude, please go next year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>So, what are my picks?\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.wine.com/V6/Chateau-Les-Trois-Croix-Fronsac-2008/wine/109645/detail.aspx\">2008 Chateau Les Trois Croix Bordeaux\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hahnfamilywines.com/wineInfoTemplate.asp?BrandID=2&WinesID=333\">2010 Hahn Winery GSM Blend\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://store.hugebearwines.com/index.cfm?method=products.productDrilldown&productID=592d67c8-ee47-4ba5-7978-31dae0edb80e\">2010 Huge Bear Chardonnay\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://southernstarz.com/Detail.CFM?sku=9826\">2010 Edgebaston Berry Box Red Blend\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.peachycanyon.com/trade/\">2010 Peachy Canyon Westside Zinfandel\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ontanon.es/english/teon-roble\">2010 Ontanon Teon Roble\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>I really enjoyed the Chateau Les Trois Croix. It was bold yet well balanced enough that you didn't really notice. And I am not the biggest Bordeaux fan, so that is saying something. I would say I am Chardonnay-curious. I rarely liked it oaked but Huge Bear pulled it off. For the past three years, anytime I want a Zin, I turn to Peachy Canyon and that was true again at this event. This particular one is very well balanced and just fruit forward enough to be called a Zin. Hahn Family Wines has not only one of the best tasting rooms in California and if you happen to visit, buy a bottle of their GSM Blend and enjoy it on the deck. The wine has some nice berry notes with a little bit of spiciness to pull it all together. You'll also find notes of vanilla and clove. The Berry Box blend is just like the name states. A swirling mix of dark fruits and cassis, this is the wine for dinner. It's hearty and a bit juicy. The Teon Roble is similar, definitely fleshy but extremely well balanced. Also good with a hearty meal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/IMG_5047.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/IMG_5047.jpg\" alt=\"Carnival Fun at Wine Riot\" title=\"Carnival Fun at Wine Riot\" width=\"560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46694\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what Wine Riot really brings to the wine tasting circuit is accessibility. Oh, and tattoos. I am still sporting my tipsy mermaid tattoo! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel so hip!\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Food also plays an important role with your operations. What are you looking for when you hire?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWe have zero turn over in our tasting room for a reason. I’m most proud of that. Sean and A.J. were two of my best customers in Arizona. They had long since aspired to be here in the wine country. When people come to taste, whether it’s their first time or they’re experts, we want to offer them something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I come from restaurants and we really love food and wine here. Doing food pairings is our passion. Sean and I always chef for events of up to 100 people. Today we have a picnic on Baker Ridge, and we’re planning pork soaked in Pinot Noir leaves for two days then roasted on a spit and served with corn on the cob. Our food pairings have allowed us to attract a lot more wine club customers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Compared to running and building a restaurant group, what’s it like building your estate winery?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWe farm, make wine and sell wine. We have a wine club, our tasting room and so many moving parts. I like it better than the restaurant industry because we’re able to get a motivated and dedicated team. They really do love to get up and come to work. The challenge is finding the right employee and yet that’s true for any business. We’re a small winery so getting folks to try our wines is a challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s an average day like? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSo far for July I’ve been on the road: New York, San Francisco, Calgary and Los Angeles for sales and marketing activities. Today I’m cooking for 100 people in Baker Ridge, and tomorrow I’ll be in the office doing admin. It’s 100 miles an hour. We’ve hired a new GM (General Manager) and that means I can focus on sales and marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How involved is your father in the operations? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nHe lives in Toronto and is not involved in our daily operations. He’s involved in key decision making and planning. Our business is very plan driven and he’s involved in macro ways... during harvest he comes and sorts fruit for a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who is your mentor?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nDavis Bynum, who we bought land from, is one of my very best friends. I have lunch with him every Friday. He’s visiting my family in Toronto. He’s 89, and tells me what’s worked and what hasn't for him. He’s second to my dad for advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why do you live and work in Russian River Valley?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor the Pinot Noir. If you’re going to make Pinot outside of Burgundy, it’s probably one of the most physically beautiful places to work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you have any recommendations for fellow vegetarians? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI’ve been a vegetarian for 21 years. In Healdsburg, I always go to \u003ca href=\"http://santarosa.about.com/od/foodandwine/a/zazu.htm\">Zazu\u003c/a> restaurant. Duskie [Estes], the chef-owner was a veggie for 20 years or so. Whenever I go there I’m guaranteed a great meal. She’s a wine freak herself. Everything on her menu meshes with wine and we make a wine under her label called Black Pig Pinot Noir. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s it like having chickens and sheep on the property?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor the chickens, we use the eggs, which we put in our guesthouses. We have farm fresh eggs and locally produced bread and estate jam that Sean and I make. Our sheep are for grazing our vineyards and we use them on certain blocks that are tougher to get into. We love the sheep and it’s a green thing.

We’ve hired a new GM (General Manager) and that means I can focus on sales and marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How involved is your father in the operations? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nHe lives in Toronto and is not involved in our daily operations. He’s involved in key decision making and planning. Our business is very plan driven and he’s involved in macro ways... during harvest he comes and sorts fruit for a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who is your mentor?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nDavis Bynum, who we bought land from, is one of my very best friends. I have lunch with him every Friday. He’s visiting my family in Toronto. He’s 89, and tells me what’s worked and what hasn't for him. He’s second to my dad for advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why do you live and work in Russian River Valley?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor the Pinot Noir. If you’re going to make Pinot outside of Burgundy, it’s probably one of the most physically beautiful places to work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you have any recommendations for fellow vegetarians? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI’ve been a vegetarian for 21 years. In Healdsburg, I always go to \u003ca href=\"http://santarosa.about.com/od/foodandwine/a/zazu.htm\">Zazu\u003c/a> restaurant. Duskie [Estes], the chef-owner was a veggie for 20 years or so. Whenever I go there I’m guaranteed a great meal. She’s a wine freak herself. Everything on her menu meshes with wine and we make a wine under her label called Black Pig Pinot Noir. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s it like having chickens and sheep on the property?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor the chickens, we use the eggs, which we put in our guesthouses. We have farm fresh eggs and locally produced bread and estate jam that Sean and I make. Our sheep are for grazing our vineyards and we use them on certain blocks that are tougher to get into. We love the sheep and it’s a green thing. They’re just adorable.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Info:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thomasgeorgeestates.com/index.php\">Thomas George Estates\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n8075 Westside Rd., Healdsburg, Sonoma County, CA 95448\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Phone:\u003c/strong> 707-431-8031\u003cbr>\nTasting Room Hours: 11-5, seven days a week\u003cbr>\nTasting Fee: $10.00, refundable with wine purchase\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Twitter:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/TGEWinery\">@TGEWinery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Facebook:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TGEWinery\">Thomas George Estates Winery\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If your heart quickens (even a little) at the chance of also batting an eye at a known chef who happens to be plating your food, San Francisco event planners have something for you. August 3 to August 5, the fourth-annual \u003ca href=\"http://sfchefsfoodwine.com/events/grand-tasting-tent/\">SF Chefs Grand Tasting tent\u003c/a> is slated to turn Union Square into an urban garden party swirl with food, cocktails, wine tastes from 30 wineries, mixologists, and of course chefs. It's a good way to, say, check out the latest molecular gastronomy dish at one table and stroll over for a nibble of seafood ceviche in the next breath. Pacing is everything, and taking breaks and staying hydrated will give you more staying power. There are also classes, food pairings, volunteer opportunities, cooking competitions and a full menu of culinary and sweet offerings from 25 chefs, including \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/03/23/chef-dominique-crenn-talks-about-her-dialogue-dinners-book-project-and-guy-savoy/\">Dominique\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/08/07/dominique-crenns-iron-chef-appearance-bay-area-eats/\">Crenn\u003c/a>, Arnold Wong, Hoss Zare, Traci Des Jardins, Chris Cosentino, Tyler Florence (TyFlo), Ryan Scott, Thomas McNaughton and Staffan Terje.

We also looked at the other festivals that existed -- the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, South Beach to a certain degree, and Pebble Beach. For all of those events, the chefs were brought into a community for three to four days. They'd have an incredible event and then leave.

There was a lot going on with food and wine festivals happening all over the country. We had a feeling that San Francisco is the epicenter and a culinary Mecca and that we didn't want to lose our position as that leader. Our original meeting was a brainstorming session. We noticed that people in New York and then Las Vegas at that point were comparing themselves to San Francisco. We have Napa and Sonoma, and the start of the farm to table movement with Alice Waters.

I came here in the late 80s from London. When you talked about food then, you talked about New York and San Francisco. SF Chefs helped elevate our brand nationally. It’s a period of time to come and taste under one roof. A lot of people love this. Maybe they can’t always afford to come to all of the restaurants that are involved.

Media sponsors donate space and we keep it organic and real and about the chefs, for the chefs. We have our rising stars and we decided “let’s make this about the community,” and also look to our scene leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Craig Stoll:\u003c/strong> It’s always a schmooze fest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Emily Luchetti:\u003c/strong> It’s an opportunity for people to see each other and visit. If there’s some chef you haven’t met, you have a good opportunity to try their food. Networking is work and you make connections but this is like a fun-fest almost. For the people who attend and buy tickets, yes we're working our table but it’s fun to be there, and not just work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rob Black:\u003c/strong> We’re all about fostering community in our culinary world and see people in each others kitchens, sharing recipes, farms and vendors. We also have \u003ca href=\"http://sfchefsfoodwine.com/events/dinner-party-project/\">dinner party projects\u003c/a> to showcase innovation and creativity from our community. One of the great ones will be \u003ca href=\"http://sfchefsfoodwine.com/events/07/8/\">Dominique Crenn cooking with Jason Fox\u003c/a>. We asked her “What would be fun for you?” and she said that he would be someone she’d like to work with.

I’m known for grits and short ribs and fried green tomatoes. Last year, I did white grits with pesto, white grits with BBQ chicken and goat cheese. It’s a Southern style dish with California sophistication. The year before I did grits with bleu cheese.

The wind was so intense that pieces of the cake were blowing up. We were trying to act like it’s not cold and learned to do the ribbon cutting inside, on the stage. Each year we learn how to make it better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first year, we scheduled a cooking demo at Macy’s and no one checked to see if the store would be open that early.

If your heart quickens (even a little) at the chance of also batting an eye at a known chef who happens to be plating your food, San Francisco event planners have something for you. August 3 to August 5, the fourth-annual \u003ca href=\"http://sfchefsfoodwine.com/events/grand-tasting-tent/\">SF Chefs Grand Tasting tent\u003c/a> is slated to turn Union Square into an urban garden party swirl with food, cocktails, wine tastes from 30 wineries, mixologists, and of course chefs. It's a good way to, say, check out the latest molecular gastronomy dish at one table and stroll over for a nibble of seafood ceviche in the next breath. Pacing is everything, and taking breaks and staying hydrated will give you more staying power. There are also classes, food pairings, volunteer opportunities, cooking competitions and a full menu of culinary and sweet offerings from 25 chefs, including \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/03/23/chef-dominique-crenn-talks-about-her-dialogue-dinners-book-project-and-guy-savoy/\">Dominique\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/08/07/dominique-crenns-iron-chef-appearance-bay-area-eats/\">Crenn\u003c/a>, Arnold Wong, Hoss Zare, Traci Des Jardins, Chris Cosentino, Tyler Florence (TyFlo), Ryan Scott, Thomas McNaughton and Staffan Terje.

If there’s some chef you haven’t met, you have a good opportunity to try their food. Networking is work and you make connections but this is like a fun-fest almost.

We also have \u003ca href=\"http://sfchefsfoodwine.com/events/dinner-party-project/\">dinner party projects\u003c/a> to showcase innovation and creativity from our community.

I’m known for grits and short ribs and fried green tomatoes. Last year, I did white grits with pesto, white grits with BBQ chicken and goat cheese.
