That has prompted a spate of new butcher shops, but running a butchery isn't easy -- as evidenced by the fact that the popular \u003ca href=\"http://4505meats.com/\" target=\"_blank\">4505 Meats\u003c/a> had to close its butchery doors earlier this summer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, you can still buy 4505 wholesale sausages or sandwiches at the farmers' market. And yes, Belcampo did take over the butcher shop location. But that doesn't mean it's easy to ensure the kind of high-quality, locally-sourced, sustainable meat we all love at prices we can actually afford -- and that the shops can afford to sell it at.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can all get a little confusing. Some places outsource to their favorite ranches. Others operate the farms themselves. Some focus on pasture-raised meat. Others want hormone-free products. If you're not sure what to eat for dinner, then start with some of our favorite butcher shops. If we missed your favorite, then share it in the comments below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" size=\"full\" link=\"none\" ids=\"100151,100152,100153,100156,100154,100155,100157\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 1901, there's been a butcher shop at 235 Cortland Avenue in Bernal Heights. For the last eight years that shop's been \u003cstrong>Avedano's Meats\u003c/strong>. It's owned by three women who were planning to open a restaurant, but instead wanted to bring fresh local meat directly to the community. The focus is on pasture-raised meat from small farms, and the shop has relationships with specific farmers for each of its animals -- for example, Avedano's pork comes from \u003ca href=\"http://llanoseco.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Llano Seco Rancho\u003c/a> in Chico.

The whole enterprise started in 2012 with an idea for a top-to-bottom meat provider. All the animals served in Belcampo come from the company's own farm near Mt. Shasta, where the rabbits, quail, chickens, and cows live in humane conditions. The farm-to-fork traceability means that Belcampo also owns and operates its own slaughterhouse 15 minutes away from its farm and runs the butcher shops where the meat is hand-cut. At most locations, you can buy fresh cuts of meat in the front and lunch or dinner at the restaurant in the back. Because Belcampo uses so many non-traditional cuts and focuses on freshness, you might need to ask the butcher or the waiter about what's best and what's in stock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.belcampomeatco.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Belcampo Meat Co.\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2405 Larkspur Landing Circle, Building 4 [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/2zRMX1\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nLarkspur, CA 94939\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 488-5810\u003cbr>\nHours: Butchery - Mon-Sat 9am-7pm; Sun 9am-6pm / Restaurant - Daily 11am-9pm, Closed 4pm-5pm\u003cbr>\n1909 Mission Street [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/hq31lO\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94103\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 914-0637\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri 11am-8pm; Sat-Sun 10am-7pm\u003cbr>\n1998 Polk Street [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/QGUBh3\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94109\u003cbr>\nPh:(415) 660-5573\u003cbr>\nHours: Butchery - Daily 10am-8pm / Restaurant - Mon-Thu 11:30am-10pm; Fri 11:30am-11pm; Sat 10:30am-11pm; Sun 10:30am-9pm, Closed Daily 3pm-5:30pm\u003cbr>\n855 El Camino Real, #161 [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/X7cUKY\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nPalo Alto, CA 94301\u003cbr>\nPh: (650) 561-3492\u003cbr>\nHours: Butchery - Mon-Sat 10am-7pm; Sun 10am-6pm / Restaurant - Mon-Sat 11am-8pm; Sun 11am-7pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/belcampomeatco\" target=\"_blank\">Bel Campo Meat Co.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/BelcampoMeat\" target=\"_blank\">@BelcampoMeat\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://instagram.com/belcampomeatco/\" target=\"_blank\">Belcampo Meat Co\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"100167,100171,100168,100169,100172,100170\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though most people refer to it just as \u003cstrong>Boccalone\u003c/strong>, the full name is Boccalone Salumeria, which tells you exactly what you need to know about this little shop.

The whole enterprise started in 2012 with an idea for a top-to-bottom meat provider. All the animals served in Belcampo come from the company's own farm near Mt. Shasta, where the rabbits, quail, chickens, and cows live in humane conditions. The farm-to-fork traceability means that Belcampo also owns and operates its own slaughterhouse 15 minutes away from its farm and runs the butcher shops where the meat is hand-cut. At most locations, you can buy fresh cuts of meat in the front and lunch or dinner at the restaurant in the back.

It also seasons the bird really well. It’s hard to properly season a whole bird with all of its nooks and crannies, and also get the cavity seasoned evenly. A brine solution allows the seasonings to get into all of the cracks evenly and also allows the salt to be absorbed into the meat, not just on the skin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Is there one big mistake you think people make in preparing and/or cooking their turkeys? What's the best way to avoid it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rocchino:\u003c/strong> There are two big mistakes. Number one, you have to bring the bird up to room temperature before you put it in the oven. This allows for even cooking rather than the outside getting hammered with heat while the inside tries to catch up. Number two, you have to let the turkey rest before you carve it. This can take up to an hour. If you don’t allow the turkey to rest, all of the juices will spill out when you carve it, leaving a really juicy cutting board and a really dry turkey. It’s better to have a room temperature piece of turkey that is juicy with hot gravy on top rather than a piping hot slice of turkey that is super dry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: How do you know when your turkey is ready?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rocchino: \u003c/strong>Any instant read thermometer will do the trick. Make sure it is calibrated before you use it. When you take the bird’s temperature, make sure to test it in the thickest part of the thigh, which takes the longest to cook. Again, it’s best to cook the turkey in parts so that your breast is cooked correctly and your legs are also cooked correctly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/thanksgiving-samsifton.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/thanksgiving-samsifton-193x290.jpg\" alt=\"Thanksgiving: How to Cook It Well by Sam Sifton\" width=\"193\" height=\"290\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-74110\">\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still need a little hand-holding to get you through the run-up to the big day?

Sifton spent close to a decade as a writer and editor at the \u003ca href=\"http://nypress.com/\">New York Press\u003c/a>, a scrappy alternative weekly, before he was tapped for the dining section of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com\">New York Times\u003c/a>. So, despite two years as the Times' restaurant critic--an Olympian position if there ever was one--Sifton's voice is amusing and approachable, pretense-free but reassuringly knowledgable. For a couple of years he spent Thanksgiving Day in the newsroom of the Times, answering panicked questions from readers. As he writes,\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I was a one-man Thanksgiving help line. The questions came fast and furious...I answered questions on the newspaper's Web site about burning turkeys and still-frozen ones, bland gravies and last-minute cranberry sauces, too-thick corn puddings, underdone squash, what to do with someone's vegan aunt or carnivorous boss. I consulted on failed pumpkin pies and epic turducken blunders. I worked the turkey-oven-temperature-time equation as if studying for a doctoral exam.\"\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>He stands up for cloth napkins, nothing canned (except for canned pumpkin for pies, and, if you must, that wiggly cranberry jelly), and proper table settings and passed family-style platters rather than piles of plates next to serve-yourself pans on the kitchen counter. But he doesn't care if your table is plywood and your plates mismatched; it's the gesture, not the price of the wedding china, that counts. The main thing is finding joy in your companions and serenity, somewhere, in the cooking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you have your recipes nailed down, his book is worth a read for its numerous helpful hints. Sketch out the pots and pans you'll need to cook each dish ahead of time, so you know what might be missing before you're elbow-deep in squash. Ditto laying out all the serving dishes and utensils on the dinner table a day or two beforehand. That way, you'll know, first, if they fit, and second, if you need to shop for (or borrow) an extra gravy boat, more serving spoons, or a bigger bowl for the mashed potatoes.

To maximize the flavor and moisture, brine the bird first, then select a good hardwood to use as the smoking medium. You can find them in various sizes from sawdust to small chips to chunks. They all work. Hickory and oak are probably the most commonly available, but also look for fruit woods such as apple, pear, cherry, walnut, or pecan. You will need a good thermometer. I prefer the digital version, which you can leave in the bird the entire time. Use the indirect method described in the recipe and be sure to regulate the heat so that the bird doesn’t cook too quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following recipe makes a gallon or so of brine, which should be plenty for a 12- to 14-pound turkey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MAKES 12 SERVINGS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2 cups (400g) packed brown sugar\u003cbr>\n1 cup (250g) pure maple syrup\u003cbr>\n3/4 cup (170g) coarse salt\u003cbr>\n3 whole heads garlic, cloves separated and bruised\u003cbr>\n6 large bay leaves\u003cbr>\n1 1/2 cups (144g) coarsely chopped unpeeled fresh ginger\u003cbr>\n2 teaspoons dried red chili flakes\u003cbr>\n1 1/2 cups (350mL) soy sauce\u003cbr>\n3 quarts (2.85L) water\u003cbr>\n12- to 14-pound (5.4 to 6.3kg) dressed fresh turkey\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. Combine all the ingredients except the turkey in a large enamel or stainless steel stockpot that is large enough to hold the brine and the turkey.

Regulate the vents to keep the chips smoking and the coals slowly burning. Check every 25 minutes or so to make sure the coals are still hot and smoke is continuing.

The total cooking time for a 12- to 14-pound bird will be approximately 3 to 3 1/2 hours. The internal temperature of the bird should be 165°F when tested at the thickest part of the thigh or breast. Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone. You can also test by cutting a little incision at the leg-thigh joint and making sure the meat is cooked and juices run clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7.

It also seasons the bird really well. It’s hard to properly season a whole bird with all of its nooks and crannies, and also get the cavity seasoned evenly. A brine solution allows the seasonings to get into all of the cracks evenly and also allows the salt to be absorbed into the meat, not just on the skin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Is there one big mistake you think people make in preparing and/or cooking their turkeys? What's the best way to avoid it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rocchino:\u003c/strong> There are two big mistakes. Number one, you have to bring the bird up to room temperature before you put it in the oven. This allows for even cooking rather than the outside getting hammered with heat while the inside tries to catch up. Number two, you have to let the turkey rest before you carve it. This can take up to an hour. If you don’t allow the turkey to rest, all of the juices will spill out when you carve it, leaving a really juicy cutting board and a really dry turkey. It’s better to have a room temperature piece of turkey that is juicy with hot gravy on top rather than a piping hot slice of turkey that is super dry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: How do you know when your turkey is ready?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rocchino: \u003c/strong>Any instant read thermometer will do the trick. Make sure it is calibrated before you use it. When you take the bird’s temperature, make sure to test it in the thickest part of the thigh, which takes the longest to cook.

Sifton spent close to a decade as a writer and editor at the \u003ca href=\"http://nypress.com/\">New York Press\u003c/a>, a scrappy alternative weekly, before he was tapped for the dining section of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com\">New York Times\u003c/a>. So, despite two years as the Times' restaurant critic--an Olympian position if there ever was one--Sifton's voice is amusing and approachable, pretense-free but reassuringly knowledgable. For a couple of years he spent Thanksgiving Day in the newsroom of the Times, answering panicked questions from readers. As he writes,\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I was a one-man Thanksgiving help line. The questions came fast and furious...I answered questions on the newspaper's Web site about burning turkeys and still-frozen ones, bland gravies and last-minute cranberry sauces, too-thick corn puddings, underdone squash, what to do with someone's vegan aunt or carnivorous boss. I consulted on failed pumpkin pies and epic turducken blunders. I worked the turkey-oven-temperature-time equation as if studying for a doctoral exam.\"\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>He stands up for cloth napkins, nothing canned (except for canned pumpkin for pies, and, if you must, that wiggly cranberry jelly), and proper table settings and passed family-style platters rather than piles of plates next to serve-yourself pans on the kitchen counter. But he doesn't care if your table is plywood and your plates mismatched; it's the gesture, not the price of the wedding china, that counts. The main thing is finding joy in your companions and serenity, somewhere, in the cooking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you have your recipes nailed down, his book is worth a read for its numerous helpful hints. Sketch out the pots and pans you'll need to cook each dish ahead of time, so you know what might be missing before you're elbow-deep in squash. Ditto laying out all the serving dishes and utensils on the dinner table a day or two beforehand. That way, you'll know, first, if they fit, and second, if you need to shop for (or borrow) an extra gravy boat, more serving spoons, or a bigger bowl for the mashed potatoes.

To maximize the flavor and moisture, brine the bird first, then select a good hardwood to use as the smoking medium. You can find them in various sizes from sawdust to small chips to chunks. They all work. Hickory and oak are probably the most commonly available, but also look for fruit woods such as apple, pear, cherry, walnut, or pecan. You will need a good thermometer. I prefer the digital version, which you can leave in the bird the entire time. Use the indirect method described in the recipe and be sure to regulate the heat so that the bird doesn’t cook too quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following recipe makes a gallon or so of brine, which should be plenty for a 12- to 14-pound turkey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MAKES 12 SERVINGS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2 cups (400g) packed brown sugar\u003cbr>\n1 cup (250g) pure maple syrup\u003cbr>\n3/4 cup (170g) coarse salt\u003cbr>\n3 whole heads garlic, cloves separated and bruised\u003cbr>\n6 large bay leaves\u003cbr>\n1 1/2 cups (144g) coarsely chopped unpeeled fresh ginger\u003cbr>\n2 teaspoons dried red chili flakes\u003cbr>\n1 1/2 cups (350mL) soy sauce\u003cbr>\n3 quarts (2.85L) water\u003cbr>\n12- to 14-pound (5.4 to 6.3kg) dressed fresh turkey\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. Combine all the ingredients except the turkey in a large enamel or stainless steel stockpot that is large enough to hold the brine and the turkey.

Options abound, as do prices. So, how can you get the best of your bird?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here a few questions to help you deconstruct your turkey-buying possibilities:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>What is your budget?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Are you looking for a fresh or frozen turkey?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How many people will you be feeding (and how many leftover-turkey sandwiches do you want to make)?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What's important to you and your family: Organics? Avoiding GMOs? Humane practices? Helping preserve heritage breeds?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Do you, your family, or your guests have a strong preference for white over dark meat, or vice versa? How adventurous a cook (and eaters) are you working with?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Turkey Prices\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Prices for turkeys really vary, depending on where you're shopping, and more importantly, how the turkey was raised. Supermarkets often price their mass-produced frozen turkeys very cheaply, even giving them away if you spend a certain amount on other items. By contrast, a locally and humanely raised bird that's been freely wandering the green pastures of Marin or Sonoma for five or six months and eating organic, certified non-GMO feed can cost between $75 and $150, possibly more, depending on size. However, there are a variety of options between free and top-of-the-line, so it's worth calling around to quality butcher shops in your area to see what they're offering.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fresh vs Frozen\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Refrigerator real estate is one prime reason for buying a fresh, rather than frozen, bird. The safest, most reliable way to thaw out a frozen bird is in the refrigerator. Count on a thaw rate of four pounds a day, which getting a frozen bird oven-ready can take anywhere from two to four or even five days. In other words, you'll need several days' worth of turkey-sized thawing space available in your fridge if you buy a frozen bird.

Free-range birds are not confined in individual cages, and they have access to the outdoors. Pasture-raised birds, by contrast, spend most of their days outside, usually rotating to a new field every few days. At night, they typically roost in mobile poultry pens to keep them safe from predators. Pasture-raised turkeys also have a more natural diet, since they're able to supplement their grain-based feed with plants and high-protein bugs and bug larvae found in the fields. Organic turkeys are raised free-range, are kept free of antibiotics, and are raised on organically grown feed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What about Breeds?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The typical supermarket bird, the Broad-Breasted White, is just that: a bird that's been bred as the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Doda\">Carol Doda\u003c/a> of turkeys. These birds offer what supermarkets think Americans like: lots and lots of very mild white breast meat. Since the 1960s, these have been the dominant — and in many places, the only — turkey breed in the U.S. Heritage breeds, by contrast, are breeds that were popular during the nineteenth century up through the 1930s. These breeds are now experiencing a renaissance, much like heirloom vegetables. They are closer in style to wild turkeys, offering more dark meat, a little more chew and typically, more flavor as well. Heritage breeds grow slowly, part of the reason for their high price. A typical heritage bird needs up to 28 weeks of care and feeding to reach its finished weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All well and good, but if you have a houseful of white-meat-only eaters, splurging on a heritage bird may leave a lot of dark meat on the platter.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Order Ahead\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you've decided on the type of bird you'd like, order ahead. Procrastination is no friend to the turkey buyer. Most independent butcher shops contract with local ranchers for a certain number of birds. Remember, it can take up to 28 weeks to raise a turkey to roasting size. if you've got your heart set on getting a bird of a particular breed or provenance, placing your order several weeks ahead will spare both you, and your butcher shop, from boiling over with last-minute turkey-sourcing stress.

How adventurous a cook (and eaters) are you working with?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Turkey Prices\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Prices for turkeys really vary, depending on where you're shopping, and more importantly, how the turkey was raised. Supermarkets often price their mass-produced frozen turkeys very cheaply, even giving them away if you spend a certain amount on other items. By contrast, a locally and humanely raised bird that's been freely wandering the green pastures of Marin or Sonoma for five or six months and eating organic, certified non-GMO feed can cost between $75 and $150, possibly more, depending on size. However, there are a variety of options between free and top-of-the-line, so it's worth calling around to quality butcher shops in your area to see what they're offering.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fresh vs Frozen\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Refrigerator real estate is one prime reason for buying a fresh, rather than frozen, bird. The safest, most reliable way to thaw out a frozen bird is in the refrigerator. Count on a thaw rate of four pounds a day, which getting a frozen bird oven-ready can take anywhere from two to four or even five days. In other words, you'll need several days' worth of turkey-sized thawing space available in your fridge if you buy a frozen bird.

We took Tanya to \u003ca href=\"http://duendeoakland.com/\">Duende\u003c/a> in Uptown for dinner. I recommend the \u003cem>arroz negro\u003c/em>. I had business meetings at \u003ca href=\"http://www.slanteddoor.com/\">Slanted Door\u003c/a> twice last week and two meals at \u003ca href=\"http://www.contigosf.com/\">Contigo\u003c/a>. From around six in the morning to about 11 at night I'm continually fielding questions and requests from my tour coordinator, guides, and guests. I make a point of staying connected with my existing food partners, building and maintaining those relationships and making sure things are working for them in relation to our tours. There's also website updating and social media to do. Last week I also worked on proposals for potential tours, one for next year's \u003ca href=\"http://www.specialtyfood.com/fancy-food-show/\">Fancy Food Show\u003c/a>, one for a Google group, and another for a delegation of dentists from Korea coming to San Francisco for a convention. I met with UC Berkeley contacts about offering tours to different departments there and I interviewed a potential new guide.

Eating out is my sport of choice. I love variety so I enjoy both hole-in-the-walls such as \u003ca href=\"http://basaseafoodexpress.net/\">Basa Seafood\u003c/a> for clam chowder or \u003ca href=\"http://www.elfarolitoinc.com/\">El Farolito\u003c/a> for \u003cem>al pastor\u003c/em> tacos. I like neighborhood joints like \u003ca href=\"http://www.dosasf.com/\">Dosa\u003c/a> as much if not more than sleek and trendy spots. I'm not really into the three-hour, high-end dining experiences like I used to do at \u003cem>Gourmet\u003c/em>. I'm just not into the pomp and circumstance. There was a time when I went to places like \u003ca href=\"http://coirestaurant.com/\">Coi\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://quincerestaurant.com/\">Quince\u003c/a> for dinners three times a week but now I choose simpler dining experiences. I did have an impressive meal recently at \u003ca href=\"http://www.sonsanddaughterssf.com/\">Sons & Daughters\u003c/a>. They're crazy talented and creative in the kitchen. I ate Fort Bragg sea urchin with Delta asparagus. My most memorable meal lately was at \u003ca href=\"http://statebirdsf.com/\">State Bird Provisions\u003c/a>. The dining experience is executed in a unique way I found exciting. The menu changes all night long: What's available at 6 may not be available at 9. We had a smoked sturgeon pancake with horseradish schmear that was delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kind of home cook are you and what's your go-to family dinner?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooking at home has changed drastically since my little ones (Livia, 2 and Matthew, 4) came along. Popping corn for my kids is considered cooking these days. I enjoy cooking but I have five minutes max of uninterrupted kitchen time. Now I cook about once a week when a recipe I read inspires me. I love \u003cem>Bon Appetit\u003c/em> since Adam Rapoport came on as editor-in-chief. I just bought ingredients for Corn Maque Choux from the July issue. I hope I find time to make the dish or else I'll throw the corn and some protein on the grill. We just started having a personal chef, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kitchit.com/profiles/chefs/joshua-clever\">Joshua Clever\u003c/a>, who also happens to be one of my guides, come to our house twice a month and he cooks entrees and sides and fixes salads. My husband and I love salads: Micro greens, arugula, toasted nuts, dried or fresh seasonal fruit and some Israeli feta or blue or shaved aged goat. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you think of the terms \"foodie\" and \"gourmet\" and do these labels describe you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gourmet feels stodgy. Old school. Foodie is ubiquitous these days. What does that word even mean? I don't spend a moment thinking about these words. Maybe \"food obsessed\" is a better label for me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_66941\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2496.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2496.jpg\" alt=\"Ex-Edible Excursions guide Preeti Mistry of Juhu Beach Club opened a restaurant in Oakland instead of San Francisco.

You turn to a hotel concierge to find out about a region and what to do. Guests can turn to Edible Excursions guides to learn about the food scene here. That's one of the cool things about having your own business. You can call yourself whatever you want. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why do you think there's so much interest now in the Bay Area in what we eat?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area people have been focused on what they eat for decades. In part, it has to do with our access to high quality ingredients year round growing within close proximity to the public. In recent years, the number of farmers' markets have grown so you can find a market six days a week. People aren't waiting for Saturday to head to the Ferry Plaza they're going to the Fillmore, Castro, Civic Center, Noe Valley and Glen Park. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food TV, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Meetup and a slew of other social media have put a magnifying glass over what and where people eat. I get it. I love to look at food. I follow \u003ca href=\"http://instagram.com/offalchris#\">Chris Cosentino\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"http://incanto.biz/\">Incanto\u003c/a> on Instagram to see what dishes he's prepared for his menu. He can make something like offal, which may not initially sound appealing, come to life with Gravenstein apples and toasted walnuts. I grew up with a dad who loved to take pictures of food. One of my favorite photos from my childhood is a plate of perfectly charred steak at \u003ca href=\"http://www.peterluger.com/brooklyn.cfm\">Peter Lugar's in Brooklyn\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_66940\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2413.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2413.jpg\" alt=\"The kouign amann from Brian Wood of Starter Bakery has quite the cult following in the East Bay.

They also glean insights and information about the people making or growing the food, regional history, and local culture. Hopefully, that experience will help shape the way people shop for food or select a restaurant. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who takes your tours?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Family, friends, and coworkers. Lawyers, builders, doctors, retired grandmas, finance people, high-school sweethearts, activists, and moms who met when their kids were in preschool but are now in college or married with kids of their own. We offer \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/03/18/deaf-foodies-savor-gourmet-ghetto-tasting-tour-in-sign-language/\">sign-language tours to the deaf community\u003c/a> too. Some guests are just there to take it all in. Others think they are the world's foremost authorities about everything and want to share their knowledge with the rest of the group. As their guides, it's our job to manage the more challenging personalities so they're not interfering with other guests' experiences. Another typical personality we come across is someone who just can't get enough info and fires off question after question. It's great to have engaged customers but we're on a tight timeline so we know how to move things along gently so as not to offend or dismiss anyone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_67069\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2915.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2915.jpg\" alt=\"Edible Excursions tour in Oakland's Temescal neighborhood.

A great anticipator: A person who has a calm and collected demeanor in the face of disaster and difficult personalities who can adapt depending on the group, weather, or what's going on for our partner businesses. Someone who can build a strong rapport with guests and merchants. There's definitely a performance aspect to it: A guide needs to be on for three hours, even when most peoples' attention spans wane around the 30 minute mark. That's why we keep things moving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's next for Edible Excursions?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New tours, in no particular order: A San Francisco Cocktail Tour: The drinks menu has become an increasingly creative place and we want to spotlight the bartenders who are crafting these specialty sips. And, maybe because I'm a mom, I really look forward to a cocktail at the end of the day. More Oakland tours, in Uptown, Old Oakland, and beyond because the food scene there is exploding. There's incredible local pride along with a lot of chefs who might have opened in San Francisco who are heading to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/02/24/chef-preeti-mistry-juhu-beach-club-in-temescal/\">Oakland\u003c/a> instead. It's perhaps the most exciting and talked about food scene locally. And Dogpatch in the city, because it's a hidden gem yet to get the attention it deserves. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also want to offer culinary excursions for young families. So many kids are picky eaters and I think if they're given a fun way to explore other foods and flavors they might buy into it. Kids who are picky are more likely to try new things if the idea doesn't originate from their parents. Food tours are a great thing to do with terrible teens too; food really does help break down barriers and connect people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If you could choose ahead, what would your Last Supper look like?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could see going out with a smile after eating a Reuben sandwich from \u003ca href=\"http://stagslunchette.com/\">Stag's Lunchette\u003c/a>. But I'd need some clean greens on the side for a balance so maybe steamed broccoli rabe too. Oh, and a tequila cocktail to round out the mix.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Edible Excursions owner Lisa Rogovin explains what a typical week for a food tour company operator looks like.

We took Tanya to \u003ca href=\"http://duendeoakland.com/\">Duende\u003c/a> in Uptown for dinner. I recommend the \u003cem>arroz negro\u003c/em>. I had business meetings at \u003ca href=\"http://www.slanteddoor.com/\">Slanted Door\u003c/a> twice last week and two meals at \u003ca href=\"http://www.contigosf.com/\">Contigo\u003c/a>. From around six in the morning to about 11 at night I'm continually fielding questions and requests from my tour coordinator, guides, and guests. I make a point of staying connected with my existing food partners, building and maintaining those relationships and making sure things are working for them in relation to our tours. There's also website updating and social media to do. Last week I also worked on proposals for potential tours, one for next year's \u003ca href=\"http://www.specialtyfood.com/fancy-food-show/\">Fancy Food Show\u003c/a>, one for a Google group, and another for a delegation of dentists from Korea coming to San Francisco for a convention.

Eating out is my sport of choice. I love variety so I enjoy both hole-in-the-walls such as \u003ca href=\"http://basaseafoodexpress.net/\">Basa Seafood\u003c/a> for clam chowder or \u003ca href=\"http://www.elfarolitoinc.com/\">El Farolito\u003c/a> for \u003cem>al pastor\u003c/em> tacos. I like neighborhood joints like \u003ca href=\"http://www.dosasf.com/\">Dosa\u003c/a> as much if not more than sleek and trendy spots. I'm not really into the three-hour, high-end dining experiences like I used to do at \u003cem>Gourmet\u003c/em>. I'm just not into the pomp and circumstance. There was a time when I went to places like \u003ca href=\"http://coirestaurant.com/\">Coi\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://quincerestaurant.com/\">Quince\u003c/a> for dinners three times a week but now I choose simpler dining experiences. I did have an impressive meal recently at \u003ca href=\"http://www.sonsanddaughterssf.com/\">Sons & Daughters\u003c/a>. They're crazy talented and creative in the kitchen. I ate Fort Bragg sea urchin with Delta asparagus. My most memorable meal lately was at \u003ca href=\"http://statebirdsf.com/\">State Bird Provisions\u003c/a>. The dining experience is executed in a unique way I found exciting. The menu changes all night long: What's available at 6 may not be available at 9. We had a smoked sturgeon pancake with horseradish schmear that was delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kind of home cook are you and what's your go-to family dinner?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooking at home has changed drastically since my little ones (Livia, 2 and Matthew, 4) came along. Popping corn for my kids is considered cooking these days. I enjoy cooking but I have five minutes max of uninterrupted kitchen time. Now I cook about once a week when a recipe I read inspires me. I love \u003cem>Bon Appetit\u003c/em> since Adam Rapoport came on as editor-in-chief. I just bought ingredients for Corn Maque Choux from the July issue. I hope I find time to make the dish or else I'll throw the corn and some protein on the grill. We just started having a personal chef, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kitchit.com/profiles/chefs/joshua-clever\">Joshua Clever\u003c/a>, who also happens to be one of my guides, come to our house twice a month and he cooks entrees and sides and fixes salads. My husband and I love salads: Micro greens, arugula, toasted nuts, dried or fresh seasonal fruit and some Israeli feta or blue or shaved aged goat. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you think of the terms \"foodie\" and \"gourmet\" and do these labels describe you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gourmet feels stodgy. Old school. Foodie is ubiquitous these days. What does that word even mean? I don't spend a moment thinking about these words. Maybe \"food obsessed\" is a better label for me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_66941\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2496.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2496.jpg\" alt=\"Ex-Edible Excursions guide Preeti Mistry of Juhu Beach Club opened a restaurant in Oakland instead of San Francisco.

You turn to a hotel concierge to find out about a region and what to do. Guests can turn to Edible Excursions guides to learn about the food scene here. That's one of the cool things about having your own business. You can call yourself whatever you want. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why do you think there's so much interest now in the Bay Area in what we eat?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area people have been focused on what they eat for decades. In part, it has to do with our access to high quality ingredients year round growing within close proximity to the public. In recent years, the number of farmers' markets have grown so you can find a market six days a week. People aren't waiting for Saturday to head to the Ferry Plaza they're going to the Fillmore, Castro, Civic Center, Noe Valley and Glen Park. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food TV, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Meetup and a slew of other social media have put a magnifying glass over what and where people eat. I get it. I love to look at food. I follow \u003ca href=\"http://instagram.com/offalchris#\">Chris Cosentino\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"http://incanto.biz/\">Incanto\u003c/a> on Instagram to see what dishes he's prepared for his menu. He can make something like offal, which may not initially sound appealing, come to life with Gravenstein apples and toasted walnuts. I grew up with a dad who loved to take pictures of food. One of my favorite photos from my childhood is a plate of perfectly charred steak at \u003ca href=\"http://www.peterluger.com/brooklyn.cfm\">Peter Lugar's in Brooklyn\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_66940\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2413.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2413.jpg\" alt=\"The kouign amann from Brian Wood of Starter Bakery has quite the cult following in the East Bay.

They also glean insights and information about the people making or growing the food, regional history, and local culture. Hopefully, that experience will help shape the way people shop for food or select a restaurant. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who takes your tours?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Family, friends, and coworkers. Lawyers, builders, doctors, retired grandmas, finance people, high-school sweethearts, activists, and moms who met when their kids were in preschool but are now in college or married with kids of their own. We offer \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/03/18/deaf-foodies-savor-gourmet-ghetto-tasting-tour-in-sign-language/\">sign-language tours to the deaf community\u003c/a> too. Some guests are just there to take it all in. Others think they are the world's foremost authorities about everything and want to share their knowledge with the rest of the group. As their guides, it's our job to manage the more challenging personalities so they're not interfering with other guests' experiences. Another typical personality we come across is someone who just can't get enough info and fires off question after question. It's great to have engaged customers but we're on a tight timeline so we know how to move things along gently so as not to offend or dismiss anyone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_67069\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2915.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/07/fiss-2915.jpg\" alt=\"Edible Excursions tour in Oakland's Temescal neighborhood.

A great anticipator: A person who has a calm and collected demeanor in the face of disaster and difficult personalities who can adapt depending on the group, weather, or what's going on for our partner businesses. Someone who can build a strong rapport with guests and merchants. There's definitely a performance aspect to it: A guide needs to be on for three hours, even when most peoples' attention spans wane around the 30 minute mark. That's why we keep things moving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's next for Edible Excursions?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New tours, in no particular order: A San Francisco Cocktail Tour: The drinks menu has become an increasingly creative place and we want to spotlight the bartenders who are crafting these specialty sips. And, maybe because I'm a mom, I really look forward to a cocktail at the end of the day. More Oakland tours, in Uptown, Old Oakland, and beyond because the food scene there is exploding. There's incredible local pride along with a lot of chefs who might have opened in San Francisco who are heading to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/02/24/chef-preeti-mistry-juhu-beach-club-in-temescal/\">Oakland\u003c/a> instead. It's perhaps the most exciting and talked about food scene locally. And Dogpatch in the city, because it's a hidden gem yet to get the attention it deserves. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also want to offer culinary excursions for young families. So many kids are picky eaters and I think if they're given a fun way to explore other foods and flavors they might buy into it. Kids who are picky are more likely to try new things if the idea doesn't originate from their parents. Food tours are a great thing to do with terrible teens too; food really does help break down barriers and connect people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If you could choose ahead, what would your Last Supper look like?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could see going out with a smile after eating a Reuben sandwich from \u003ca href=\"http://stagslunchette.com/\">Stag's Lunchette\u003c/a>.
