Starbelly's popular patio picnic series is back for the summer on Tuesday, September 18, and it’s going to be a fried chicken feast. You’ll enjoy Rocky free-range fried chicken with some fabulous fixin’s, like jalapeño corn bread and honey butter, heirloom apple and celery root slaw, braised collard greens with housemade bacon, and for dessert, late summer fruit cobbler with buttermilk biscuit topping and whipped cream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Starbelly recently secured a full liquor license, cocktails will be available from lead bartender Christopher Niles, including the Ward 9—a Boston-inspired riff on the classic Ward 8 cocktail—served punch-style for the picnic, and the Gentleman Caller, which is a Starbelly spin on a Manhattan with Sonoma Distilling Company bourbon, Suze and sweet vermouth.

At Dogpatch’s \u003ca href=\"http://noonallday.com/\">Noon All Day\u003c/a>, this casual café from the nearby Piccino crew has a menu that’s built for any time of day or appetite. And if you’re craving eggs at 2pm, you can have them in their Proper Breakfast ($15), which comes with two poached eggs, their creamy butter beans, braised greens, toast, and your choice of pork belly or sliced avocado (served beautifully sliced and fanned out), with a spoonful of fermented chile. It’s not only affordable, but is such a homey and satisfying dish, whether you’re nursing a hangover or just craving something comforting. (Their chicken soup stracciatella, $9, with chicken broth whisked with egg, poached chicken, and nettles is a miracle worker for whatever may ail you.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over in the healthy camp is their seasonal rice bowl ($14), currently a melange of such beautiful spring peas, cucumber, summer squash, romano beans, mixed with a ginger-scallion sauce and topped with a poached egg (you can ramp up with pork belly or avocado for $3). It’s extra-delicious with a ginger-turmeric spritz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The menu offers a variety of small bites (don’t miss the cauliflower potato fritters), sandwiches (personally, I find the pocket sandwiches a little expensive for what you get), salads (the produce is beautiful), and there’s even soft-serve. Come by in the morning for all kinds of house-baked treasures, including their kimchi danish, and on sunny days, their outdoor patio is perfect for a glass of wine (or a housemade chai). Can’t make it out there? You’re in luck, they also deliver with \u003ca href=\"http://www.trycaviar.com/r/amaz57\">Caviar\u003c/a> (use that link for $10 off your first two orders).\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s not only affordable, but is such a homey and satisfying dish, whether you’re nursing a hangover or just craving something comforting.

You just need some simple gingery chicken deliciousness, especially when you’re sick. In Asia, there’s a famous chicken and rice dish known as Hainan/Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore (it’s considered its national dish) and Malaysia, also known as khao mun gai in Thailand (you’ll find it in Vietnam and Cambodia as well). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its origins are from the Hainan province in southern China, and the dish basically consists of poached chicken served over chicken fat rice with a side serving of broth, but depending on where you have it, there will be additions to how the chicken and rice are prepared, plus different garnishes, to a gingery side sauce or a spicier one. It’s a casual dish, an affordable one that is meant to sustain you but brings some comfort too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While poached chicken is not the most photogenic item (some people have a hard time with the poached skin, but really, give it a chance), some of the most delicious foods far surpass their homely appearance. A San Francisco favorite for khao mun gai is \u003ca href=\"http://www.roosterandrice.com/\">\u003cb>Rooster and Rice\u003c/b>\u003c/a>, with three fast-casual locations around the city. I love the way they prepare their chicken and rice (seasoned with the perfect amount of chicken fat), the mix of juicy dark and white organic chicken meat, and their bright side sauce of fresh chile, ginger, garlic, and soybean is tops. The deeply flavorful broth is also like an elixir. Their basic KMG is $11.95. If you can’t make it to their three locations, they also deliver on Caviar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130165\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/whatthecluck-KMG-e1535152503280.jpg\" alt=\"The latest place serving khao mun gai in San Francisco is What the Cluck.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2883\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130165\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The latest place serving khao mun gai in San Francisco is What the Cluck. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There’s a new khao mun gai outpost in the Upper Haight called \u003ca href=\"http://www.whattheclucksf.com/\">\u003cb>What the Cluck\u003c/b>\u003c/a>, from Bangkok native Koonz Vannasetta. Here you also get organic breast and thigh (it’s tender and juicy) for $10.95, and another option is to order your KMG with riceberry (a jasmine and black rice hybrid). For your first time, I’d recommend you stick with the traditional jasmine rice (which gets zhooshed with chicken fat), and skip the brown rice option (the side I ordered was mushy). If you want to go all out, there’s “The Ultimate” ($15.95), with poached egg, chicken liver, and extra sauce (their sauce is on the milder side, with fermented soybean, garlic, and ginger). There’s also a version with tofu for vegetarians. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130166\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/whatthecluck-soup-e1535152570560.jpg\" alt=\"You can also opt for the restorative chicken soup at What the Cluck.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2883\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130166\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can also opt for the restorative chicken soup at What the Cluck. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You’ll additionally find a restorative chicken and rice soup with spinach leaves ($10.95), which I doctored up with some extra ginger at home to help keep a cold at bay (and boost up the flavor a bit).

You just need some simple gingery chicken deliciousness, especially when you’re sick. In Asia, there’s a famous chicken and rice dish known as Hainan/Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore (it’s considered its national dish) and Malaysia, also known as khao mun gai in Thailand (you’ll find it in Vietnam and Cambodia as well). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its origins are from the Hainan province in southern China, and the dish basically consists of poached chicken served over chicken fat rice with a side serving of broth, but depending on where you have it, there will be additions to how the chicken and rice are prepared, plus different garnishes, to a gingery side sauce or a spicier one. It’s a casual dish, an affordable one that is meant to sustain you but brings some comfort too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While poached chicken is not the most photogenic item (some people have a hard time with the poached skin, but really, give it a chance), some of the most delicious foods far surpass their homely appearance. A San Francisco favorite for khao mun gai is \u003ca href=\"http://www.roosterandrice.com/\">\u003cb>Rooster and Rice\u003c/b>\u003c/a>, with three fast-casual locations around the city. I love the way they prepare their chicken and rice (seasoned with the perfect amount of chicken fat), the mix of juicy dark and white organic chicken meat, and their bright side sauce of fresh chile, ginger, garlic, and soybean is tops. The deeply flavorful broth is also like an elixir. Their basic KMG is $11.95. If you can’t make it to their three locations, they also deliver on Caviar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130165\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/whatthecluck-KMG-e1535152503280.jpg\" alt=\"The latest place serving khao mun gai in San Francisco is What the Cluck.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2883\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130165\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The latest place serving khao mun gai in San Francisco is What the Cluck. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There’s a new khao mun gai outpost in the Upper Haight called \u003ca href=\"http://www.whattheclucksf.com/\">\u003cb>What the Cluck\u003c/b>\u003c/a>, from Bangkok native Koonz Vannasetta. Here you also get organic breast and thigh (it’s tender and juicy) for $10.95, and another option is to order your KMG with riceberry (a jasmine and black rice hybrid). For your first time, I’d recommend you stick with the traditional jasmine rice (which gets zhooshed with chicken fat), and skip the brown rice option (the side I ordered was mushy). If you want to go all out, there’s “The Ultimate” ($15.95), with poached egg, chicken liver, and extra sauce (their sauce is on the milder side, with fermented soybean, garlic, and ginger). There’s also a version with tofu for vegetarians. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130166\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/whatthecluck-soup-e1535152570560.jpg\" alt=\"You can also opt for the restorative chicken soup at What the Cluck.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2883\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130166\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can also opt for the restorative chicken soup at What the Cluck. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You’ll additionally find a restorative chicken and rice soup with spinach leaves ($10.95), which I doctored up with some extra ginger at home to help keep a cold at bay (and boost up the flavor a bit).

You will hear how Andrés managed to serve 3 million hot meals during his time in the country with #ChefsForPuertoRico and passionately rallied for disaster relief, helping to provide a framework for what humanitarian relief should look like. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He founded his nonprofit, World Central Kitchen, after the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti with the belief that food can be an agent of change. The organization has expanded globally and developed into a group of chefs creating solutions to hunger and poverty, from providing food and aid during disasters like the Northern California wildfires to distributing meals and gas masks in evacuated areas on Hawaii’s Big Island after the Kilauea volcano erupted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130163\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2160px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC.png\" alt=\"José Andrés has a new book: We Fed an Island: The True Story of Rebuilding Puerto Rico, One Meal at a Time.\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1080\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130163\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC.png 2160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC-160x80.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC-800x400.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC-768x384.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC-1020x510.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC-1200x600.png 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC-1180x590.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC-960x480.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC-240x120.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC-375x188.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/Jose-Andres-CWC-520x260.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2160px) 100vw, 2160px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">José Andrés has a new book: We Fed an Island: The True Story of Rebuilding Puerto Rico, One Meal at a Time. \u003ccite>(HarperCollins Publishers)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He will also be discussing his book, \u003ci>We Fed an Island: The True Story of Rebuilding Puerto Rico, One Meal at a Time\u003c/i>.

Have you been yet? No?

Guess what? He is. He has just one other person helping out in the kitchen while turning out such great dishes, many based on family recipes. Don’t want to choose?

Start with his tandoori fried chicken ($14), flavorful thighs saturated in a sauce of ginger and garlic and the tang of tamarind (the flavors are inspired by the Indian-Chinese cuisine style that is popular in India). His creativity is apparent in the artichoke pakora ($10), which he marinates for extra flavor, and the fried quinoa side dish ($4), with curry leaves and chile, inspired by a State Bird Provisions topping on their chawan mushi. Crunch, crunch. And don’t miss a peek at the seasonal specials board (you may find things like zucchini blossom fritters). It’s worth noting how well gluten-free and vegan diners will eat here. There are plenty of options, from charred green beans to tandoori whole cauliflower (vegans, hold the yogurt). \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130110\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/ritu-artichoke-e1534548220505.jpg\" alt=\"The artichoke pakoras are a great place to start.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130110\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The artichoke pakoras are a great place to start. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But if you’re a carnivore, you won’t want to pass up the pork vindaloo ($16), the best I have had outside of Goa. Chef Rupam marinates the pork butt in a garlic paste, and the flavor is so deep and delicious with ginger, garlic, coriander, turmeric, and vinegar—it just pops. Wait until you bite into the potatoes. The recipe is from his friend’s mother from Goa (where the dish hails from but this pork and vinegar dish originally has Portuguese origins). Another favorite for me is his perfectly seasoned lamb seekh kebab ($13), with notes of crushed coriander seeds and mint. You should also try his famed biryani, and I am coming back for the steamed fish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130111\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/ritu-vindaloo-e1534548278883.jpg\" alt=\"Don’t miss Ritu’s extraordinary pork vindaloo.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2883\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130111\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Don’t miss Ritu’s extraordinary pork vindaloo. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ritu is a casual place, with bright colors and even brighter lights. It’s an easy place for a midweek meal, but the flavors are so good you could fool yourself and pretend you’re eating at one of SF’s high-end Indian restaurants. Just don’t be in a rush—things move a little slower here since everything is made to order, perfect for date night. The wine list covers a lot of bases, and there are a couple aperitifs and a white sangria, while three kinds of lassi and four kinds of sodas (like salted and spiced fresh lime) are also offered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want to enjoy his food during the week, track down his truck, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.dumsf.com/events/\">Dum truck\u003c/a>.

You’ll find a menu of hot and cold sandwiches, soup, pizzas, and tasty salads, including one that is like a niçoise with smoked trout. It’s all about the hot sandwiches (you can browse the wines while you wait): there’s an excellent Cubano, and their popular Smokey Moe, a grilled panino with smoked turkey, Swiss cheese, bacon, jalapeño jam, mayo, and pepperoncini.

Start with his tandoori fried chicken ($14), flavorful thighs saturated in a sauce of ginger and garlic and the tang of tamarind (the flavors are inspired by the Indian-Chinese cuisine style that is popular in India). His creativity is apparent in the artichoke pakora ($10), which he marinates for extra flavor, and the fried quinoa side dish ($4), with curry leaves and chile, inspired by a State Bird Provisions topping on their chawan mushi. Crunch, crunch. And don’t miss a peek at the seasonal specials board (you may find things like zucchini blossom fritters). It’s worth noting how well gluten-free and vegan diners will eat here. There are plenty of options, from charred green beans to tandoori whole cauliflower (vegans, hold the yogurt). \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130110\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/ritu-artichoke-e1534548220505.jpg\" alt=\"The artichoke pakoras are a great place to start.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130110\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The artichoke pakoras are a great place to start. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But if you’re a carnivore, you won’t want to pass up the pork vindaloo ($16), the best I have had outside of Goa. Chef Rupam marinates the pork butt in a garlic paste, and the flavor is so deep and delicious with ginger, garlic, coriander, turmeric, and vinegar—it just pops. Wait until you bite into the potatoes. The recipe is from his friend’s mother from Goa (where the dish hails from but this pork and vinegar dish originally has Portuguese origins). Another favorite for me is his perfectly seasoned lamb seekh kebab ($13), with notes of crushed coriander seeds and mint.

Since Le Soleil is closed on Tuesdays, the sisters thought it would be fun to try something new and focus on contemporary Asian noodles. They source a number of their noodles from their dad’s friend who has a local noodle factory—Le Soleil has been open since 1993, so Pops has the connections.

Don’t miss the Corazón de Melón smoothie (strawberries, cantaloupe, cinnamon, coconut water, and coconut sorbet).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parranga is open for lunch and dinner to start, with breakfast and weekend brunch coming soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Stockhome Restaurant Opens August 1 in Downtown Petaluma\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003ca href=\"http://www.stockhomerestaurant.com/\">Stockhome\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/HR81Nps4Xo42\">220 Western Ave., Petaluma\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWed–Sun 11am–9pm\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129933\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/stockhome-preview-e1532724398411.jpg\" alt=\"A preview of Stockhome meze and dishes at PLÄJ Restaurant earlier this year.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129933\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A preview of Stockhome meze and dishes at PLÄJ Restaurant earlier this year. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Opening August 1 in Petaluma is Stockhome, from husband-and-wife team chef Roberth and Andrea Sundell, owners of San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://plajrestaurant.com/\">PLÄJ Restaurant\u003c/a>. This project is decidedly more casual and family-friendly, with counter service and an extensive menu that spans influences from Roberth’s native Sweden, along with Middle Eastern wraps and kebab plates, German sausages, and other dishes that make up the street food scene in Stockholm. There are big salads and numerous small dishes and sides, from grilled halloumi (made of sheep’s milk) with chermoula and purslane to shrimp skagen (a Swedish shrimp salad) with avocado brioche and chili horseradish, so you can really make your own dream spread. Plus, you’ll find a couple larger meaty mains while children will be obsessed with the wall of imported Swedish candy (Lördagsgodis), which will be sold in bulk to good little boys and girls. There are 40 seats in the dining area, and 10 in a private dining room, with Swedish wallpaper and many other nods to Swedish design.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Escape to McEvoy Ranch for a Unique Afternoon Experience\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mcevoyranch.com/\">McEvoy Ranch\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/XLnYAmW3qJH2\">5935 Red Hill Road, Petaluma\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSunday, August 12, 11am–2:30pm\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.mcevoyranch.com/social-club/events/ancient-rhythms-ancient-grains/\">Tickets\u003c/a>: $135 per person ($95 per person for Social Club Members)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129938\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/olive-tree-landscape-palms-1-e1532724306980.jpg\" alt=\"The stunning grounds (and olive trees) at McEvoy Ranch.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1237\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129938\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The stunning grounds (and olive trees) at McEvoy Ranch. \u003ccite>(McEvoy Ranch)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Want an excuse to go to a gorgeous place?

The first is a more traditional kind of happy hour, but the deal feels like 2001 prices: Monday–Friday, come by from 5pm–6pm for five different cocktails and five dishes for just $5 each, inspired by the book \u003cem>The Gentleman’s Companion\u003c/em>, by Charles H. Baker. There’s Remember the Maine, made with rye, sweet vermouth, cherry heering, and absinthe, and $5 bites like the ‘Toga Tots with Fiscalini cheddar and chorizo, shishito peppers with cherry tomato and miso glaze, and seven-spice chicken or cheeseburger sliders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re a \u003cstrong>Pappy Van Winkle\u003c/strong> bourbon fan, or you’ve just always wanted to taste it, you’ll want to come by for Pappy Days on Monday nights. Barman Brandon Clements and his team spent the last 10 years collecting one of the largest spirits libraries in the United States, and Van Winkle’s bourbons are widely considered the best in the world. You’ll get to taste through many vintages of this highly sought-after whiskey at a deep discount every Monday night. Be sure to pick up a Pappy Pass, and taste your way through all seven vintages (from 10-year to 25-year) to earn a free dinner for two (not to exceed $200).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129155\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1500px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996.jpg\" alt=\"Pork and pinot lovers won’t want to miss High on the Hog at EPIC Steak.\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129155\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996.jpg 1500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pork and pinot lovers won’t want to miss High on the Hog at EPIC Steak. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of EPIC Steak)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>An Afternoon of Pork and Pinot Noir and More\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/\">\u003cstrong>EPIC Steak\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/XZjU7TMg6Uv\">369 The Embarcadero South, San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSunday, July 1, 1pm–4pm\u003cbr>\n$85 per person\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/current-events\">Tickets/info\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pig and pinot noir are usually a crowd-pleasing combo, which is why \u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/\">\u003cstrong>EPIC Steak\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> is now on their tenth year of hosting their annual \u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/current-events\">\u003cstrong>High on the Hog\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> event.

The first is a more traditional kind of happy hour, but the deal feels like 2001 prices: Monday–Friday, come by from 5pm–6pm for five different cocktails and five dishes for just $5 each, inspired by the book \u003cem>The Gentleman’s Companion\u003c/em>, by Charles H. Baker. There’s Remember the Maine, made with rye, sweet vermouth, cherry heering, and absinthe, and $5 bites like the ‘Toga Tots with Fiscalini cheddar and chorizo, shishito peppers with cherry tomato and miso glaze, and seven-spice chicken or cheeseburger sliders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re a \u003cstrong>Pappy Van Winkle\u003c/strong> bourbon fan, or you’ve just always wanted to taste it, you’ll want to come by for Pappy Days on Monday nights. Barman Brandon Clements and his team spent the last 10 years collecting one of the largest spirits libraries in the United States, and Van Winkle’s bourbons are widely considered the best in the world. You’ll get to taste through many vintages of this highly sought-after whiskey at a deep discount every Monday night. Be sure to pick up a Pappy Pass, and taste your way through all seven vintages (from 10-year to 25-year) to earn a free dinner for two (not to exceed $200).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129155\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1500px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996.jpg\" alt=\"Pork and pinot lovers won’t want to miss High on the Hog at EPIC Steak.\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129155\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996.jpg 1500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/18A7996-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pork and pinot lovers won’t want to miss High on the Hog at EPIC Steak. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of EPIC Steak)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>An Afternoon of Pork and Pinot Noir and More\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/\">\u003cstrong>EPIC Steak\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/XZjU7TMg6Uv\">369 The Embarcadero South, San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSunday, July 1, 1pm–4pm\u003cbr>\n$85 per person\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.epicsteak.com/current-events\">Tickets/info\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You can find some good renditions here in SF, but did you know you can also find an \u003cstrong>amatriciana pizza\u003c/strong>? For this amatriciana \u003cem>and\u003c/em> pizza fanatic, it’s a special kind of mash-up heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, I’ve been enjoying the amatriciana pizza by Sharon Ardiana at \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ragazzasf.com/\">Ragazza\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> (311 Divisadero St.), made with tomato, Olli pancetta, Calabrian chilies, pecorino, oregano, and an organic egg ($18). While some folks could cry foul over the pancetta instead of guanciale, just remember, we’re talking about a pizza here. The egg also takes things in another direction, but it’s to the utterly delicious zone, so that’s great. You can also find the amatriciana pie at her pizzeria \u003ca href=\"https://www.gialina.com/\">Gialina\u003c/a> (2842 Diamond St.) in Glen Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want to play the “authentic” amatriciana pizza game, which is kind of ridiculous, but okay, the version at \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://pizzeriadelfina.com/\">Pizzeria Delfina\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> (multiple locations) is true to the original pasta dish, made with guanciale, chile, tomato, pecorino, and black pepper (which, actually, some people would argue about!). It’s $19, and the deep saucy flavor is like enjoying a bowl of the pasta, but on their tasty crust. Magic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leave it to the Roman owner of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.montesacrosf.com/\">Montesacro Pinseria\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> (510 Stevenson St.) in SoMa, Gianluca Legrottaglie, to offer an amatriciana version on their ancient Roman-style pinsa. Certo!

Tony Gemignani’s version comes on his California-style crust, and it’s a really saucy pie, almost close to a plate of pasta. His version ($23) comes with sliced Aiello mozzarella, amatriciana tomato sauce with guanciale, onion, olive oil, and grated romano. I recommend a drizzle of his spicy oil on the table to kick things up.\u003c/p>\n\n",

There are over 20 top Bay Area restaurants who will be serving at the event, including 1760, Bellota, DOSA, Flour + Water, Lolo, Nopa, and more, plus cocktails, wine, and beer, and live and silent auctions.

Students are provided with classroom instruction, in-kitchen hands-on training, and an internship at a local restaurant or in an institutional kitchen setting. This annual fundraiser is instrumental in raising awareness and funds for this effective program. In 2017, ECS helped 7,000 people with permanent supportive housing, crisis shelter, services, vocational training, and pathways from homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We all wonder what we can do to help our city’s homeless population, and this event is a great start to show your support. There are over 20 top Bay Area restaurants who will be serving at the event, including 1760, Bellota, DOSA, Flour + Water, Lolo, Nopa, and more, plus cocktails, wine, and beer, and live and silent auctions.
