If you’re in the Sonoma area, make sure to stop by the winery. Named for the cooling influence of the nearby San Pablo Bay and Pacific Ocean breezes, also called anabatic winds, the wines focus on elegance, complexity and vibrancy that comes from grapes allowed to ripen slowly on the vine. Careful crafting of those grapes into wine is Anaba’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A visit to the property evokes a casual vibe that marries a sense of fun and playfulness with seriously delicious wines. Founded by John Sweazey, a businessman turned vintner, the winery was a longtime dream of his from days traveling the wine world. He wanted to capture and share the sense of family and camaraderie that comes from a passion for the culture of wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u003cb>\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">Anaba 2024 “Turbine White” Blend\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cem>Sonoma Valley, California, $36\u003c/em>\u003cb>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>This Rhone-inspired white is a unique blend of grapes such as Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Viognier and Picpoul Blanc.

I’m Leslie Sbrocco. Welcome to “Check, Please! Bay Area,” the show where Bay Area residents review and talk about their favorite restaurants. Now, we have three guests, and each one recommends one of their favorite spots. And the other two go check them out to see what they think. Joining me at the “Check, Please” table today are investor services representative Jamie Grisar, electrical lineman Tony Martinez, and marketing manager Joshua Baldovino. Welcome, everyone.

From tangy tzatziki, to grilled octopus, to warm flatbreads, the menu is a passport to the Aegean.

Endless nightlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">I fell in love with the Greek food because of my mom, because moms are always the best. Meatballs — our favorite one. We are always cooking for lamb and meatballs at home. And I like always cooking barbecue. A live grill charbroil, I’m always using for mesquite. Our signature dish is Mykonos souvlaki. The souvlaki, we are using for prime tenderloin with the shallot onion together. The seasoning process is for two days to make them perfect. It’s gonna be melting in your mouth. Meze is the family-style sharing for the small appetizers, hot and cold. Our bar — We have many options. Specially, I like ouzo and tequila. But we have also wine and also other spirits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Together:\u003c/b> Opa!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Ustel:\u003c/b> What I’m always hearing from the people at the restaurant is, look for something living in there, something’s soul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Ohh!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Ustel:\u003c/b> It feels like home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Opa!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Yeah!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right, Tony.

My wife didn’t agree on this, but, you know, I got the Greek key on both sides, and I got the Parthenon, and I got Athena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So you are Greek through and through?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Yes. I’m infused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So what do you order when you walk in the door, you sit down, they say, “Hey, Tony, come. Here’s your table”?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> The spreads. I usually do the spreads with the pita bread and the tzatziki’s in there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> They have pretty good spreads in there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> It really opens up your palate because there are so many dips. And the bread is nice and warm and fluffy. Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> So I got the keftedes, which I think is a classic dish that you have to get any time you go get Greek. That’s your benchmark. Half beef, half lamb. The way that they cooked it, it had a nice little crisp and char on the outside just from the grill, but on the inside was delicious. How they seasoned it was great.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So is there one dish that you just absolutely love and you order every time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> The chicken. It is grilled to perfection. It’s thighs. They’re real thin. So he puts Greek oregano, lemon, salt, and he just grills it over — It’s like a Pourgouri. And then he puts a little bed of tzatziki on it. And then with the pita bread, it’s heaven to me because that’s what I love. I love that, but, you know, that’s one of my favorites that I go for all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. Did you have that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I did not have the grilled chicken, but I did have a tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I was debating between the rib eye or the tenderloin when I got there, and I said, “You know what? I actually never order tenderloin. Let me try it.” And so it was these two tenderloin kebabs, grilled again. It was also plated on top of these roasted vegetables, which were delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I never eat all the vegetables, but actually that was maybe almost as good as the meat itself, ’cause the meat itself was tender, charred perfectly on the outside, and then the sauce that was on the bottom, I just kept scooping it with either the meat or the vegetables over and over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So you got your veggies. I love it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And what about you, Jamie?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> So you mentioned the rib eye, and I did end up getting the rib eye. And it’s plated beautifully. It’s on a wood cutting board. And then they light it on fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Together:\u003c/b> Opa!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Opa! Opa!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> It’s ouzo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Ah. That’s why you light it on fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Got you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> I’m glad she got to experience that, because that’s the whole idea there. And the “opa,” because they…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> It’s “opa” and ouzo!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Yeah. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> And it was awesome. The steak was — I got it medium rare. And so it was cooked perfectly. It had a beautiful sear on the outside and it came with these potatoes. Honestly, the potatoes were the star of the show. Better than the rib eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Very good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Salted. Crispy. Pillowy, fluffy in the middle. Could not ask for better potatoes. Honestly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> They’re like steak fries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> They are. They’re thick. Oh, so good. We also got the lamb shank, so… And that was also extremely tender. That sauce — Oh, I could drink it. I could drink it. It was so good. I mean, I would just say it was like a Greek gravy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> The moussaka is very good. It’s eggplant with potatoes and the Béchamel sauce. And it’s piping hot. So you got to wait. You got to let it breathe a little bit. So that gives you a chance to drink a little more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> It gives you a chance to drink something. So what did you have to drink?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> I’ve always liked the spicy margarita, but then it’s the White Shadow they always brought me because I like piña coladas. But it’s just, the only difference is vodka instead of Bacardi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Instead of rum. Mm-hmm. Okay. Did you have anything to drink alongside?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> Yeah. So I did a Paper Plane. So it’s a bourbon-based cocktail with some Aperol, and it was surprisingly refreshing. Normally you think of a whiskey cocktail as kind of being heavy and not so as refreshing, but this was a little bit of citrus to it with the Aperol. And so it was perfect for a weekend afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Did anybody have dessert? Or in the many times you’ve gone, have you done dessert?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Many times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Profiteroles. Those are the best because they’re, like, puffy, you know, cream puffs with vanilla ice cream and just with a little chocolate drizzled on top of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> With the little one, did you get to share dessert?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> I did. We got baklava because it comes with ice cream. So good. Honey, pistachio. And the phyllo is actually pretty soft because it’s so soaked. Really good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Glasses clink ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> So there’s another thing about Mykonos that when it turns dark, Marco comes out, the lights dim down, and then he gets the light shows going, and then he has a smoker, too. And then the music goes up. So if you’re gonna go there and you want to have a lively time, it’s gonna be after 8:00.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> You’re capturing the fun of the island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> It’s great. I wish I was there now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Me too. All right. If you would like to try Mykonos Meze House, it’s located on Lorton Avenue in Burlingame, and the average multi-course tab per person without drinks is around $60. Joshua says his sleek little sushi spot is one of Silicon Valley’s true hidden gems. Offering creative takes on Japanese and Filipino favorites, fruit-forward cocktails, and a lively vibe, every meal is a true feast for the senses. Tucked away in southern San Jose’s Silver Creek area, it’s Trifecta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Bradley:\u003c/b> Trifecta is a Japanese sushi restaurant with Filipino influence starring me, my brother Ryan, and our mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Thank you guys.

Woman #2: Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Bradley:\u003c/b> When people think of sushi, they just think of raw fish, rolls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Ryan:\u003c/b> We like to try not to be too traditional and bend the rules a little bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Bradley:\u003c/b> We like to kind of spice it up and add toppings to our nigiris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> To the chefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Bradley:\u003c/b> We love to use, like, chicharrón and taro and use it as an added texture, depth, and crunch. But a lot of our sauces and flavors come from calamansi. So we do have our signature cold plates, like our yellowtail crudo, and bluefin tuna chili garlic — That’s probably our flagship dish. But a lot of Filipino dishes are hot. So, like, our short rib — a 72-hour braise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Ryan:\u003c/b> The vibe is bustling. It’s cracking, it’s popping. We want to make sure our guests are taken care of, but we try to have fun at the same time and enjoy the moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Bradley:\u003c/b> This is a dream come true. This is our hometown. So providing, you know, to our own community the food that we love doing, it just means a lot to us. Out of all the places in the world, they chose to be here with us. And that’s a special moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right, Joshua, talk to me about this place, because it’s an interesting blend, isn’t it, of flavors and cultures and cuisines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> It is. It’s these two Filipino brothers who have this traditional Japanese spot, but now they added a little bit of Filipino twist to it, so they get the best of both worlds now. If you’re going for the real exciting experience, you do omakase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Right. Chef choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> Yes. Or you can do à la carte on the menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I did start with a cocktail at first. It was an espresso sesame sake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Ah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> That was good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> So you get the hint of coffee, but you still have a nice sake, which brings this lightness to it. And then it has a sesame crisp on it, and it adds a nice little textural element.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right, so you’ve got a cocktail in your glass and what goes with it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> And then garlic edamame for me. If anyone’s been to Hawaii and has gotten any kind of garlic shrimp scampi, they have replicated that garlic sauce to a T. The edamame is just doused in it. And so you just can’t help but just take the entire bean and just get all the sauce and all the garlic. Maybe not great for the date after, but really good as you taste it through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right. And, Jamie, what about you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> We did the omakase. And so the first dish they brought out was oysters. And the first oyster was with a yuzu vinaigrette. And the second was with a wasabi vinaigrette. The wasabi was so nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Cheers!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Cheers!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Like, it didn’t burn your nose. It was just that right amount of spicy. And that yuzu was refreshing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> And then after that, it was the chawanmushi, which is a Japanese soufflé. And it was beautiful. It was silky and salty and sweet and with a Filipino twist, they put in longganisa. And so it had the crispy bits and it had a beautiful seared scallop on it, so you also had that buttery taste. Really delicious for the first two courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> First two courses. All right. We’ll get back to you with more. What about you now, Tony? How was your experience?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> It was great. The little tacos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> The hamachi tacos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> They were delicious. Something about it. I’ve never had that flavor before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Have you had those before?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I did. So the hamachi tacos are really nice ’cause it is. It’s a nice little starter, as well. It’s a wonton crisp taco. And then you’ll have a little bit of avocado within. It’s raw hamachi on top with some sauce and then a sliced jalapeño.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> But I never had the raw. The raw fish. And that got me going. And I was like, “wow, that was good.” That’s why the yellowtail came in effect. And my son brought me into that. With the jalapeño oil sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. So that’s what you had next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Ooh, yes.

So if you don’t want to go all the way raw, part of the omakase set was seared albacore tuna in a ponzu sauce. Light. Refreshing. With that, you know, hint of lime. And then after that, it was a nigiri plate. And so it was four pieces of nigiri and their in-house-made tamago with an egg omelet. But it was really good. And each piece has toppings. And it did really enhance the flavor of each piece of nigiri that we did get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. And you’re shaking your head, going…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> Oh, I mean, you have to get some sushi, for sure. So whether you’re doing sashimi or nigiri, you have to try it. And two of my other favorites — There’s a scallop carpaccio dish. And so they have scallops. That’s paired with some lychee fruit. And they have some citrus around the plate, too. It looks like a piece of art on the plate itself. And the scallops are so soft. It’s almost like you’re eating a cloud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> We had the tempura roll. You know, the tempura roll was meshed together with the unagi sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> Mm-hmm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> It was so good. So I’m a big fan of chicken. So when they said “fried chicken,” I said, “I got to have some of that.” And she brought it and it was so crispy and flavorful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I’ve had the karaage there before, too. Right? Japanese fried chicken. But I think I’m always there for the seafood first. But the chicken is a nice change of pace, too. Did any of you guys get the short rib?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> No, I didn’t get the short rib.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> Okay, the short rib, it’s a fun showstopper ’cause it gets plated almost like a tomahawk steak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Oh, nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> It’s super-thick. And then it’s all plated on top of a kare-kare sauce, which is a Filipino kind of peanut-based sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Mmm. So I got to go back for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And did you feel like you got a good deal? I mean, it can be expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> You know what? To me, the price doesn’t matter as long as you have fun. You know, that’s what matters — the experience. Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> And in terms of value, I mean, omakase can get ridiculously expensive. And so if you’re looking for a high-end omakase without the crazy, crazy prices, this is definitely a good way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. Excellent. If you would like to try Trifecta, it’s located on Silver Creek Valley Road in San Jose, and the average multi-course tab per person without drinks is around $70. Jamie is bringing us back to the Mediterranean, to a lively trattoria that’s captured her heart. From cloudlike pizzas, to savory supplì, every dish on the menu is rooted in Roman culinary tradition. Located in Walnut Creek, it’s Montesacro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Gianluca:\u003c/b> Montesacro, it’s one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Rome, outside of where I grew up, packed with life. I wanted to create an environment elegant, upscale, refined, very Italian. Hello.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Speaks Italian ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Conversing in Italian ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Our intention is to bring people together, share as much as possible as a family, as friends. How was everything today?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Really good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Gianluca:\u003c/b> Montesacro opened as the first pinsa place in the United States in 2015 in San Francisco. Pinsa is not pizza. It runs in the family of pizza, but it’s made from soy, rice, and wheat, which already makes it completely different than traditional pizza. It proofs for a minimum of 72 hours, and we stretch it à la minute over rice flour to give it a little extra crispiness after it’s cooked. It’s oval in shape. It’s not round or square. And that’s pinsa. Pinsa Romana. We have different appetizers, pastas — all homemade. Our cacio e pepe, I believe, is the closest to what I would expect to eat in Rome. The octopus appetizer is one of our highlights. It’s cooked to tender, simply dressed with the most amazing extra-virgin olive oil, and drizzled with some fresh oregano. With all due respect to Californian wines, which we absolutely love, we decided to feature only Italian wines made from indigenous grape varietals of Italy only. Salute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Salute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Speaks Italian ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Gianluca:\u003c/b> My biggest hope with people experiencing Montesacro, once they go back home, is to say, “You’ve got to try this because it’s not the ordinary Italian restaurant. It’s something unique,” because it’s what we’re trying to achieve more than anything else. Create an experience that is memorable, that is forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right, Jamie, talk about how you found this restaurant. I mean, there’s not a lot of Roman-inspired restaurants, and the food in Rome is the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Oh, totally the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Uh-huh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> We were actually on the hunt for gnocchi. We just looked up “gnocchi” on Yelp, and there it was — Montesacro. And it was in a red sauce, which is kind of rare for the Bay Area. And we’re like, “We have to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And what is it that you get besides the gnocchi?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> We start with the supplì al telefono, which are these beautiful golden balls. They’re fried. They call it supplì al telefono because in the middle, it’s stuffed with mozzarella cheese. And so when you pull it open, you get that nice string of cheese and it looks like a telephone wire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> And it’s so delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> To me, it’s like adult cheese sticks, you know? So you get the nice exterior, which has a nice crust to it, seasoned really well. And then, as you open it up, I mean, I judge the cheese sticks by the cheese pull. And so you can pull it and it does have that classic cheese pull and it was delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. How about you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Oh, boy, I went nuts there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Why does that not surprise me?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Yeah. I mean… Forget the salad. We go to the porchetta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Oh, that looks lovely. Woman #2: Oh, my goodness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Just savory. I love it. And they mixed it with the orange all day on that one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> The porchetta is really good. It was — I actually haven’t ordered it. The table next to us did, and I think they saw me eyeing their food and they said, “Do you want to try this?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> They did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> I swear they did. No, this place is so friendly ’cause you’re sitting so close to one another. So you can kind of tell, like, “Oh, I like what’s on your plate. Oh, I don’t like what’s on your plate.” I do actually get another pasta dish. I get the Amatriciana, which is a bucatini with a spicy marinara sauce and guanciale. I can eat pounds and pounds of guanciale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> I know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> It’s just a funkier pancetta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> You have that little more earthy flavor than…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> But it melts right in your mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> It does ’cause that fat cap is so big. Your mouth is coated in, like, fat, but it’s good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right. We are gonna talk about pinsas. So that’s really the heart of this place and what sets it apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> It is, yes. Different flour blend. So it’s almost lighter, chewier. And it gets really crisp. You get that nice char all around. We always, always get the [Haltingly] Tormarancia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Easy for you to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Yes. Sure. Yes. It’s basically a souped-up Margherita pizza, but with spicy soppressata.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Mm-hmm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> And it’s lovely with the sweet tomato sauce and the spicy, salty meat. It’s just the perfect combination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> We did the same one as you, but then we also established the baseline with the Margherita, ’cause I feel like you have to establish the baseline. But I agree — The dough was delicious and the Margherita itself, it definitely lands more on the heavier basil side. So if you love basil, then you’re really gonna enjoy this pinsa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay, what did you drink?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> I went to the martini. It was the spicy G&C martini. It was Calabrese oil with the olive in it. This was the spicy, and one of the best, martinis I’ve ever had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Oh, that’s awesome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> The best. And it was perfect with my pinsa. Perfect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> They do have a special cocktail, which is a pistachio espresso martini.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Wow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> And the presentation of this is so pretty. Almost, like, a quarter of the glass had crushed pistachios on the outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Did you get a spoon?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I mean, I did just bite it off afterwards ’cause it was a nice nutty treat to have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Yeah. Anybody have dessert?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> I got three of the desserts. And tiramisu — That’s the one I really love. When you bite into it, just don’t breathe in because you get the coffee. [ Breathes sharply] You get the coffee, and you start sneezing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Yeah, the coffee, the cocoa powder down your throat. Like a beignet almost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> That was like, “Oh, no.” But, you know. Then we had the chocolate torte.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Oh, man, look at that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Filled with fresh cream. I’m not a big chocolate guy, but that was pretty good. That was good. The last one was the pinsa filled with — They almost tried to copy a cannoli, but it missed the point to me because the tiramisu had me already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right, the tiramisu won. If you would like to try Montesacro, it’s located on Locust Street in Walnut Creek, and the average multi-course tab per person without drinks is around $45. And now reporter Cecilia Phillips has more Bay Area bites you’ve just got to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> We are so lucky to be able to come to Dandelion Chocolate today. And this place. I could smell it before we even walked in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Yeah. I ride my bike into work and I’ll be a block away. And even without seeing it, I can [Sniffs] I was like, “Ah, I’m getting close to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Both laugh ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Tell me more about Dandelion Chocolate and the special things that you all do here with single-origin chocolate. Just two ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> That’s right. Cocoa beans and organic cane sugar. And what we call cocoa beans are actually not beans. They’re seeds of a tropical fruit called cacao. And each pod contains about 50 unique fruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Mm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> So we source cocoa beans from about 20 or so unique locations around the world. And depending on the actual variety of fruit and where it grows and how it’s processed, there’s just endless possibilities. We roast the bean and we crack them, which creates little broken pieces we call nibs, and we grind those up and add sugar to that and grind the sugar in until that is fully refined, as well. We make chips and we make bars. And then we have a confectionery team that takes our chocolate and turns it into caramels and pralines and chocolate truffles. The fruit is fermented over a period of time. We do factory tours every day. We teach the basics of even tasting and how to appreciate the variations in different origins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Even someone like me can come in and learn, maybe, like, how to make a bonbon?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Absolutely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Yeah? All right, let’s do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Yeah, let’s do it. And you — Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, like that. Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> We’re all prepped up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Yeah. We’re making chocolate caramels today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Chocolate caramels. Nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> This is a Dandelion bonbon mold. And I already prepped it with tempered chocolate. It’s our Camino Verde, Ecuador origin. And I made the caramel filling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Here we go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Yeah. Get it right down inside there. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. Whoa! All right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Whoa!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Oh. What am I gonna do with the extra?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Ooh. [ Laughs ] Oh, hello.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Laughs ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Okay, so now the caramel has had some time to settle in, and it’s time to put chocolate on to cap it. Try not to put too much chocolate on. And bring it to the edge of the table. I’m gonna go… So the chocolate flows in and fills all the gaps. Boom. Right off the edge. So now they’re completely sealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> It’s gonna take about 5, 10 minutes for the chocolate to crystallize, to firm up. Here we go. So we’re just gonna flip it upside down onto the table. So like that. And we’ll reveal the… Ah! You didn’t even know this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> What did you do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> So I took what’s called a transfer sheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Transfer sheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Right. It’s got a cocoa butter pattern on there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> These are so pretty. Yay!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Yay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> All right. There’s a lot of caramel. Mmm. So good. I made bonbons. All right. I don’t think these two are gonna make the cut. So one for me, one for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> I want to thank my great guests on this week’s show — Jamie Grisar, who’s got of passion for pinsas at Montesacro in Walnut Creek; Tony Martinez, who craves the keftedes at Mykonos Meze House in Burlingame; and Joshua Baldovino, who savors the smoked hamachi at Trifecta in San Jose. Join us next time when three more guests will recommend their favorite spots, right here on “Check, Please! Bay Area.” I’m Leslie Sbrocco, and I’ll see you then. Cheers. And cheers to you all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Cheers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Thank you for being such great guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> We’re gonna pipe it in. We’re gonna fill the molds up to the tippy top. Boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Boom. Boom. Boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> And then we’re gonna turn it upside down. And we’re gonna “bam, bam, bam!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Whoa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Get the chocolate to come out so we can just leave a thin shell. Beautiful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Nice. Wow!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Ah, looks amazing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Yeah, it looks perfect.

Next, we head to San Jose’s \u003cstrong>Trifecta\u003c/strong>, an intimate, high-energy spot blending Japanese technique with Filipino influence, where dishes like smoked hamachi tacos, scallop carpaccio with lychee, chawanmushi with longanisa, and pristine nigiri sets showcase the chefs’ precision and playful creativity. Finally, we head to Walnut Creek’s \u003cstrong>Montesacro\u003c/strong>, where the Roman-inspired pinsa takes center stage in a warm, bustling space. Guests enjoy mouthwatering flatbreads topped with soppressata alongside bucatini amatriciana, supplì al telefono, and classic tiramisu.

If you’re in the Sonoma area, make sure to stop by the winery. Named for the cooling influence of the nearby San Pablo Bay and Pacific Ocean breezes, also called anabatic winds, the wines focus on elegance, complexity and vibrancy that comes from grapes allowed to ripen slowly on the vine. Careful crafting of those grapes into wine is Anaba’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A visit to the property evokes a casual vibe that marries a sense of fun and playfulness with seriously delicious wines. Founded by John Sweazey, a businessman turned vintner, the winery was a longtime dream of his from days traveling the wine world. He wanted to capture and share the sense of family and camaraderie that comes from a passion for the culture of wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u003cb>\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">Anaba 2024 “Turbine White” Blend\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cem>Sonoma Valley, California, $36\u003c/em>\u003cb>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>This Rhone-inspired white is a unique blend of grapes such as Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Viognier and Picpoul Blanc. A mouth-filling hit of citrus and melon notes led by aromas of honeysuckle, it’s an excellent alternative white to ring in any season of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u003cb>\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">Anaba 2022 Chardonnay, J McK Estate Vineyard\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cem>Carneros, California, $64\u003c/em>\u003cb>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>This estate-grown Chardonnay, named after John Sweazey’s two children, John Michael and McKenna, is lush and creamy but balanced by racy acidity that leaves you with a thirst for more.

I’m Leslie Sbrocco. Welcome to “Check, Please! Bay Area,” the show where Bay Area residents review and talk about their favorite restaurants. Now, we have three guests, and each one recommends one of their favorite spots. And the other two go check them out to see what they think. Joining me at the “Check, Please” table today are investor services representative Jamie Grisar, electrical lineman Tony Martinez, and marketing manager Joshua Baldovino. Welcome, everyone.

From tangy tzatziki, to grilled octopus, to warm flatbreads, the menu is a passport to the Aegean.

Meatballs — our favorite one. We are always cooking for lamb and meatballs at home. And I like always cooking barbecue. A live grill charbroil, I’m always using for mesquite. Our signature dish is Mykonos souvlaki. The souvlaki, we are using for prime tenderloin with the shallot onion together. The seasoning process is for two days to make them perfect. It’s gonna be melting in your mouth. Meze is the family-style sharing for the small appetizers, hot and cold. Our bar — We have many options. Specially, I like ouzo and tequila. But we have also wine and also other spirits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Together:\u003c/b> Opa!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Ustel:\u003c/b> What I’m always hearing from the people at the restaurant is, look for something living in there, something’s soul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Ohh!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Ustel:\u003c/b> It feels like home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Opa!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Yeah!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right, Tony.

My wife didn’t agree on this, but, you know, I got the Greek key on both sides, and I got the Parthenon, and I got Athena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So you are Greek through and through?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Yes. I’m infused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So what do you order when you walk in the door, you sit down, they say, “Hey, Tony, come. Here’s your table”?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> The spreads. I usually do the spreads with the pita bread and the tzatziki’s in there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> They have pretty good spreads in there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> It really opens up your palate because there are so many dips. And the bread is nice and warm and fluffy. Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> So I got the keftedes, which I think is a classic dish that you have to get any time you go get Greek. That’s your benchmark. Half beef, half lamb. The way that they cooked it, it had a nice little crisp and char on the outside just from the grill, but on the inside was delicious. How they seasoned it was great.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So is there one dish that you just absolutely love and you order every time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> The chicken. It is grilled to perfection. It’s thighs. They’re real thin. So he puts Greek oregano, lemon, salt, and he just grills it over — It’s like a Pourgouri. And then he puts a little bed of tzatziki on it. And then with the pita bread, it’s heaven to me because that’s what I love. I love that, but, you know, that’s one of my favorites that I go for all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. Did you have that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I did not have the grilled chicken, but I did have a tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I was debating between the rib eye or the tenderloin when I got there, and I said, “You know what? I actually never order tenderloin. Let me try it.” And so it was these two tenderloin kebabs, grilled again. It was also plated on top of these roasted vegetables, which were delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I never eat all the vegetables, but actually that was maybe almost as good as the meat itself, ’cause the meat itself was tender, charred perfectly on the outside, and then the sauce that was on the bottom, I just kept scooping it with either the meat or the vegetables over and over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So you got your veggies. I love it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And what about you, Jamie?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> So you mentioned the rib eye, and I did end up getting the rib eye. And it’s plated beautifully. It’s on a wood cutting board. And then they light it on fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Together:\u003c/b> Opa!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Opa! Opa!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> It’s ouzo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Ah. That’s why you light it on fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Got you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> I’m glad she got to experience that, because that’s the whole idea there. And the “opa,” because they…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> It’s “opa” and ouzo!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Yeah. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> And it was awesome. The steak was — I got it medium rare. And so it was cooked perfectly. It had a beautiful sear on the outside and it came with these potatoes. Honestly, the potatoes were the star of the show. Better than the rib eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Very good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Salted. Crispy. Pillowy, fluffy in the middle. Could not ask for better potatoes. Honestly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> They’re like steak fries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> They are. They’re thick. Oh, so good. We also got the lamb shank, so… And that was also extremely tender. That sauce — Oh, I could drink it. I could drink it. It was so good. I mean, I would just say it was like a Greek gravy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> The moussaka is very good. It’s eggplant with potatoes and the Béchamel sauce. And it’s piping hot. So you got to wait. You got to let it breathe a little bit. So that gives you a chance to drink a little more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> It gives you a chance to drink something. So what did you have to drink?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> I’ve always liked the spicy margarita, but then it’s the White Shadow they always brought me because I like piña coladas. But it’s just, the only difference is vodka instead of Bacardi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Instead of rum. Mm-hmm. Okay. Did you have anything to drink alongside?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> Yeah. So I did a Paper Plane. So it’s a bourbon-based cocktail with some Aperol, and it was surprisingly refreshing. Normally you think of a whiskey cocktail as kind of being heavy and not so as refreshing, but this was a little bit of citrus to it with the Aperol. And so it was perfect for a weekend afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Did anybody have dessert? Or in the many times you’ve gone, have you done dessert?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Many times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Profiteroles. Those are the best because they’re, like, puffy, you know, cream puffs with vanilla ice cream and just with a little chocolate drizzled on top of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> With the little one, did you get to share dessert?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> I did. We got baklava because it comes with ice cream. So good. Honey, pistachio. And the phyllo is actually pretty soft because it’s so soaked. Really good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Glasses clink ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> So there’s another thing about Mykonos that when it turns dark, Marco comes out, the lights dim down, and then he gets the light shows going, and then he has a smoker, too.

Joshua says his sleek little sushi spot is one of Silicon Valley’s true hidden gems. Offering creative takes on Japanese and Filipino favorites, fruit-forward cocktails, and a lively vibe, every meal is a true feast for the senses.

Woman #2: Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Bradley:\u003c/b> When people think of sushi, they just think of raw fish, rolls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Ryan:\u003c/b> We like to try not to be too traditional and bend the rules a little bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Bradley:\u003c/b> We like to kind of spice it up and add toppings to our nigiris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> To the chefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Bradley:\u003c/b> We love to use, like, chicharrón and taro and use it as an added texture, depth, and crunch. But a lot of our sauces and flavors come from calamansi. So we do have our signature cold plates, like our yellowtail crudo, and bluefin tuna chili garlic — That’s probably our flagship dish. But a lot of Filipino dishes are hot. So, like, our short rib — a 72-hour braise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Ryan:\u003c/b> The vibe is bustling. It’s cracking, it’s popping. We want to make sure our guests are taken care of, but we try to have fun at the same time and enjoy the moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Bradley:\u003c/b> This is a dream come true. This is our hometown. So providing, you know, to our own community the food that we love doing, it just means a lot to us. Out of all the places in the world, they chose to be here with us. And that’s a special moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right, Joshua, talk to me about this place, because it’s an interesting blend, isn’t it, of flavors and cultures and cuisines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> It is. It’s these two Filipino brothers who have this traditional Japanese spot, but now they added a little bit of Filipino twist to it, so they get the best of both worlds now. If you’re going for the real exciting experience, you do omakase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Right. Chef choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> Yes. Or you can do à la carte on the menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I did start with a cocktail at first. It was an espresso sesame sake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Ah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> That was good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> So you get the hint of coffee, but you still have a nice sake, which brings this lightness to it. And then it has a sesame crisp on it, and it adds a nice little textural element.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right, so you’ve got a cocktail in your glass and what goes with it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> And then garlic edamame for me. If anyone’s been to Hawaii and has gotten any kind of garlic shrimp scampi, they have replicated that garlic sauce to a T. The edamame is just doused in it. And so you just can’t help but just take the entire bean and just get all the sauce and all the garlic. Maybe not great for the date after, but really good as you taste it through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right. And, Jamie, what about you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> We did the omakase. And so the first dish they brought out was oysters. And the first oyster was with a yuzu vinaigrette. And the second was with a wasabi vinaigrette. The wasabi was so nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Cheers!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Cheers!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Like, it didn’t burn your nose. It was just that right amount of spicy. And that yuzu was refreshing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> And then after that, it was the chawanmushi, which is a Japanese soufflé. And it was beautiful. It was silky and salty and sweet and with a Filipino twist, they put in longganisa. And so it had the crispy bits and it had a beautiful seared scallop on it, so you also had that buttery taste. Really delicious for the first two courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> First two courses. All right. We’ll get back to you with more. What about you now, Tony? How was your experience?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> It was great. The little tacos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> The hamachi tacos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> They were delicious. Something about it. I’ve never had that flavor before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Have you had those before?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I did. So the hamachi tacos are really nice ’cause it is. It’s a nice little starter, as well. It’s a wonton crisp taco. And then you’ll have a little bit of avocado within. It’s raw hamachi on top with some sauce and then a sliced jalapeño.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> But I never had the raw. The raw fish. And that got me going. And I was like, “wow, that was good.” That’s why the yellowtail came in effect. And my son brought me into that. With the jalapeño oil sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. So that’s what you had next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Ooh, yes. Oh, that was delicious. It just melted in your mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">♪\u003c/span> Girl, can I talk to you? \u003cspan class=\"s1\">♪\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> And with Rex, the deejay, Rex, was there going. He was the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">He came to us and talked to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> You like party places. I can tell. He likes party spots. All right. And what else did you have?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Yeah. So if you don’t want to go all the way raw, part of the omakase set was seared albacore tuna in a ponzu sauce. Light. Refreshing. With that, you know, hint of lime. And then after that, it was a nigiri plate. And so it was four pieces of nigiri and their in-house-made tamago with an egg omelet. But it was really good. And each piece has toppings. And it did really enhance the flavor of each piece of nigiri that we did get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. And you’re shaking your head, going…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> Oh, I mean, you have to get some sushi, for sure. So whether you’re doing sashimi or nigiri, you have to try it. And two of my other favorites — There’s a scallop carpaccio dish. And so they have scallops. That’s paired with some lychee fruit. And they have some citrus around the plate, too. It looks like a piece of art on the plate itself. And the scallops are so soft. It’s almost like you’re eating a cloud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> We had the tempura roll. You know, the tempura roll was meshed together with the unagi sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> Mm-hmm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> It was so good. So I’m a big fan of chicken. So when they said “fried chicken,” I said, “I got to have some of that.” And she brought it and it was so crispy and flavorful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I’ve had the karaage there before, too. Right? Japanese fried chicken. But I think I’m always there for the seafood first. But the chicken is a nice change of pace, too. Did any of you guys get the short rib?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> No, I didn’t get the short rib.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> Okay, the short rib, it’s a fun showstopper ’cause it gets plated almost like a tomahawk steak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Oh, nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> It’s super-thick. And then it’s all plated on top of a kare-kare sauce, which is a Filipino kind of peanut-based sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Mmm. So I got to go back for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And did you feel like you got a good deal? I mean, it can be expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> You know what? To me, the price doesn’t matter as long as you have fun. You know, that’s what matters — the experience. Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> And in terms of value, I mean, omakase can get ridiculously expensive. And so if you’re looking for a high-end omakase without the crazy, crazy prices, this is definitely a good way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. Excellent. If you would like to try Trifecta, it’s located on Silver Creek Valley Road in San Jose, and the average multi-course tab per person without drinks is around $70. Jamie is bringing us back to the Mediterranean, to a lively trattoria that’s captured her heart. From cloudlike pizzas, to savory supplì, every dish on the menu is rooted in Roman culinary tradition. Located in Walnut Creek, it’s Montesacro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Gianluca:\u003c/b> Montesacro, it’s one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Rome, outside of where I grew up, packed with life. I wanted to create an environment elegant, upscale, refined, very Italian. Hello.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Speaks Italian ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Conversing in Italian ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Our intention is to bring people together, share as much as possible as a family, as friends. How was everything today?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Really good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Gianluca:\u003c/b> Montesacro opened as the first pinsa place in the United States in 2015 in San Francisco. Pinsa is not pizza. It runs in the family of pizza, but it’s made from soy, rice, and wheat, which already makes it completely different than traditional pizza. It proofs for a minimum of 72 hours, and we stretch it à la minute over rice flour to give it a little extra crispiness after it’s cooked. It’s oval in shape. It’s not round or square. And that’s pinsa. Pinsa Romana. We have different appetizers, pastas — all homemade. Our cacio e pepe, I believe, is the closest to what I would expect to eat in Rome. The octopus appetizer is one of our highlights. It’s cooked to tender, simply dressed with the most amazing extra-virgin olive oil, and drizzled with some fresh oregano. With all due respect to Californian wines, which we absolutely love, we decided to feature only Italian wines made from indigenous grape varietals of Italy only. Salute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Salute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Speaks Italian ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Gianluca:\u003c/b> My biggest hope with people experiencing Montesacro, once they go back home, is to say, “You’ve got to try this because it’s not the ordinary Italian restaurant. It’s something unique,” because it’s what we’re trying to achieve more than anything else. Create an experience that is memorable, that is forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right, Jamie, talk about how you found this restaurant. I mean, there’s not a lot of Roman-inspired restaurants, and the food in Rome is the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Oh, totally the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Uh-huh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> We were actually on the hunt for gnocchi. We just looked up “gnocchi” on Yelp, and there it was — Montesacro. And it was in a red sauce, which is kind of rare for the Bay Area. And we’re like, “We have to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And what is it that you get besides the gnocchi?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> We start with the supplì al telefono, which are these beautiful golden balls. They’re fried. They call it supplì al telefono because in the middle, it’s stuffed with mozzarella cheese. And so when you pull it open, you get that nice string of cheese and it looks like a telephone wire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> And it’s so delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> To me, it’s like adult cheese sticks, you know? So you get the nice exterior, which has a nice crust to it, seasoned really well. And then, as you open it up, I mean, I judge the cheese sticks by the cheese pull. And so you can pull it and it does have that classic cheese pull and it was delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. How about you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Oh, boy, I went nuts there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Why does that not surprise me?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Yeah. I mean… Forget the salad. We go to the porchetta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Oh, that looks lovely. Woman #2: Oh, my goodness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Just savory. I love it. And they mixed it with the orange all day on that one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> The porchetta is really good. It was — I actually haven’t ordered it. The table next to us did, and I think they saw me eyeing their food and they said, “Do you want to try this?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> They did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> I swear they did. No, this place is so friendly ’cause you’re sitting so close to one another. So you can kind of tell, like, “Oh, I like what’s on your plate. Oh, I don’t like what’s on your plate.” I do actually get another pasta dish. I get the Amatriciana, which is a bucatini with a spicy marinara sauce and guanciale. I can eat pounds and pounds of guanciale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> I know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> It’s just a funkier pancetta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> You have that little more earthy flavor than…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> But it melts right in your mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> It does ’cause that fat cap is so big. Your mouth is coated in, like, fat, but it’s good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right. We are gonna talk about pinsas. So that’s really the heart of this place and what sets it apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> It is, yes. Different flour blend. So it’s almost lighter, chewier. And it gets really crisp. You get that nice char all around. We always, always get the [Haltingly] Tormarancia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Easy for you to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Yes. Sure. Yes. It’s basically a souped-up Margherita pizza, but with spicy soppressata.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Mm-hmm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> And it’s lovely with the sweet tomato sauce and the spicy, salty meat. It’s just the perfect combination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> We did the same one as you, but then we also established the baseline with the Margherita, ’cause I feel like you have to establish the baseline. But I agree — The dough was delicious and the Margherita itself, it definitely lands more on the heavier basil side. So if you love basil, then you’re really gonna enjoy this pinsa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay, what did you drink?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> I went to the martini. It was the spicy G&C martini. It was Calabrese oil with the olive in it. This was the spicy, and one of the best, martinis I’ve ever had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Oh, that’s awesome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> The best. And it was perfect with my pinsa. Perfect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> They do have a special cocktail, which is a pistachio espresso martini.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Wow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> And the presentation of this is so pretty. Almost, like, a quarter of the glass had crushed pistachios on the outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Did you get a spoon?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Baldovino:\u003c/b> I mean, I did just bite it off afterwards ’cause it was a nice nutty treat to have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Yeah. Anybody have dessert?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> I got three of the desserts. And tiramisu — That’s the one I really love. When you bite into it, just don’t breathe in because you get the coffee. [ Breathes sharply] You get the coffee, and you start sneezing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Grisar:\u003c/b> Yeah, the coffee, the cocoa powder down your throat. Like a beignet almost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> That was like, “Oh, no.” But, you know. Then we had the chocolate torte.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Oh, man, look at that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Martinez:\u003c/b> Filled with fresh cream. I’m not a big chocolate guy, but that was pretty good. That was good. The last one was the pinsa filled with — They almost tried to copy a cannoli, but it missed the point to me because the tiramisu had me already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> All right, the tiramisu won.

And even without seeing it, I can [Sniffs] I was like, “Ah, I’m getting close to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Both laugh ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Tell me more about Dandelion Chocolate and the special things that you all do here with single-origin chocolate. Just two ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> That’s right. Cocoa beans and organic cane sugar. And what we call cocoa beans are actually not beans. They’re seeds of a tropical fruit called cacao. And each pod contains about 50 unique fruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Mm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> So we source cocoa beans from about 20 or so unique locations around the world. And depending on the actual variety of fruit and where it grows and how it’s processed, there’s just endless possibilities. We roast the bean and we crack them, which creates little broken pieces we call nibs, and we grind those up and add sugar to that and grind the sugar in until that is fully refined, as well. We make chips and we make bars. And then we have a confectionery team that takes our chocolate and turns it into caramels and pralines and chocolate truffles. The fruit is fermented over a period of time. We do factory tours every day. We teach the basics of even tasting and how to appreciate the variations in different origins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Even someone like me can come in and learn, maybe, like, how to make a bonbon?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Absolutely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Yeah? All right, let’s do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Yeah, let’s do it. And you — Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, like that. Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> We’re all prepped up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Yeah. We’re making chocolate caramels today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Chocolate caramels. Nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> This is a Dandelion bonbon mold. And I already prepped it with tempered chocolate. It’s our Camino Verde, Ecuador origin. And I made the caramel filling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Here we go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Yeah. Get it right down inside there. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. Whoa! All right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Whoa!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Oh. What am I gonna do with the extra?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">Ooh. [ Laughs ] Oh, hello.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">[ Laughs ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Okay, so now the caramel has had some time to settle in, and it’s time to put chocolate on to cap it. Try not to put too much chocolate on. And bring it to the edge of the table. I’m gonna go… So the chocolate flows in and fills all the gaps. Boom. Right off the edge. So now they’re completely sealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> It’s gonna take about 5, 10 minutes for the chocolate to crystallize, to firm up. Here we go. So we’re just gonna flip it upside down onto the table. So like that. And we’ll reveal the… Ah! You didn’t even know this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> What did you do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> So I took what’s called a transfer sheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Transfer sheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Right. It’s got a cocoa butter pattern on there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> These are so pretty. Yay!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Yay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> All right. There’s a lot of caramel. Mmm. So good. I made bonbons. All right. I don’t think these two are gonna make the cut. So one for me, one for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> I want to thank my great guests on this week’s show — Jamie Grisar, who’s got of passion for pinsas at Montesacro in Walnut Creek; Tony Martinez, who craves the keftedes at Mykonos Meze House in Burlingame; and Joshua Baldovino, who savors the smoked hamachi at Trifecta in San Jose. Join us next time when three more guests will recommend their favorite spots, right here on “Check, Please! Bay Area.” I’m Leslie Sbrocco, and I’ll see you then. Cheers.

We’re gonna fill the molds up to the tippy top. Boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Boom. Boom. Boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> And then we’re gonna turn it upside down. And we’re gonna “bam, bam, bam!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Whoa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cb>Durfee:\u003c/b> Get the chocolate to come out so we can just leave a thin shell.

These include famed places and styles from the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Rutherglen. A coastal area where mountain ranges lead to expansive plains dotted by lakes, creeks, and rivers, this cool-climate growing region produces wines known for their diversity, intensity, and elegance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://zilziewinesusa.com\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">\u003cb>2023 Zilzie Sauvignon Blanc\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cem>Victoria, Australia $19\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nFour generations of the Forbes family have lived with their agricultural roots firmly planted in Victoria. In the early 1980’s Ian and Ross Forbes planted vineyards, which redefined their family’s future as vintners. Their wines hit the mark with mouthwatering complexity. This crisp, zesty Sauvignon Blanc smacks of citrus with hints of herbal freshness. It’s a perfect pairing with spicy fare, grilled fish, and green or fruit salads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.fowleswines.com\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">2021 Fowles ‘Ladies who Shoot their Lunch’ Wild Ferment Chardonnay\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cem>Victoria, Australia $35\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nHaving fun with wine is a Fowles family trademark. Their ‘Ladies who Shoot their Lunch’ wines pay tribute to the family’s farming and hunting heritage. They are crafted with the goal of complementing the earthy, intense flavors of wild game. This full-bodied Chardonnay overflows with tropical stone fruit aromas of peach and mango tempered on the palate with a kick of minerality and a kiss of spicy oak. Fermented with wild yeast, which adds layers of flavor, this delicious Chardonnay is ideal to sip alone or with hearty fare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.fowleswines.com\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">2021 Fowles ‘Farm to Table’ Pinot Noir\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cem>Victoria, Australia $18\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>The Fowles are a family of sheep farmers and grape growers. Dating to the early 1830s, their homestead in Victoria gives a rare glimpse of Australia’s agricultural past. Located in the rugged Strathbogie Ranges, the wines hailing from this cool-climate region capture food-friendly vibrancy along with palate-pleasing ripeness. This strawberry-scented beauty is layered with spice and a hint of rose petal earthiness. Elegant and juicy, it not only pairs with pork (as the whimsical label indicates) but also with fatty fish dishes and grilled mushroom and red pepper kabobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">\u003ca style=\"color: #339966\" href=\"http://www.Chalmers.com.au\">2021 Chalmers Nero d’Avola\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cem>Heathcote, Victoria, Australia $29\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nNot only winemakers, the Chalmers family also sports titles of sustainable vineyard growers and grape vine nursery owners. They focus on crafting and growing Italian grape varieties out of passion and serendipity. Nero d’Avola normally hails from Sicily in Italy, but the Chalmers’ unique version captures the light and lovely side of the hearty red grape. Bright berry flavors combine with earthy aromas and a touch of floral notes in a racy red that can be chilled and enjoyed for warm weather sipping.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
