sweet rolls and croissants, home-cured gravlax, homemade pork sausage, egg pie—are amazing, if Industry-infected. Kokomo, in the Farmer's Market, has good breakfasts too, largely New Orleans-style egg dishes, though I can...

Blue Bottle is with the AeroPress, much better IMHO than the single cup drip method they use at the Farmers Markets. Esp good with BB’s Central American / Chiapas coffees. BTW, I find the AeroPress doesn’t really make...

That’s one of my favorite places to stop for a treat after the central square farmer's market in season! Thanks for the reminder!

. in a lot of smaller independent restaurants, and especially in catering, physical labor is a part of the job, that’s why kitchen work is categorized as blue collar work. a lot of very successful exec chefs haul their own...

I was just thinking about this the other day when I went to the SF Ferry Terminal Farmer's Market uncharacteristically late. Vendors rarely sell everything. I know how exhausting it might be, but maybe every few months some of...

If you decide to try out Nu-Way, go to the one @ Central & Woodlawn on a Sunday. A local farmer brings in boxes of freshly picked tomatoes during the season that are wonderful. We got some there last week and I made a Caprese...

this wonderful dinner, I’m going to have to go back to farmers markets for a while and give up on the mom and pop places. It would be very hard to be objective. Next week: You won’t believe this one. Link: http

could really make you dissapointed if you were expecting one of the other. As far as other coffee, for Berkeley/Oakland, I’d say Blue Bottle at any of the Berkeley Farmer's markets, Barefoot Coffee at Cafe Meditereaneum on...

never have, otherwise I’d still be eating at Bizou (aka coco500) and shopping at Ferry Plaza. I’ve been doing forced chowhounding since I don’t know my way around. Anyway, I know after a while it is hard to...

have been a factor. However, as I said, the time I went was slow. This was a young guy, maybe a Cal Berkley student earning some holiday bucks. He didn’t look stressed out. A few years from now I see him running down people...

Pont Teaism with a mug of chai after the farmers market is a lovely way to pass part of a Sunday. Oh — I have noticed some service issues at the Penn Quarter one recently, just some inefficiency getting the stuff onto the...

They are there every Wednesday at the U.N. Plaza farmers market. 5 for $1.00 for the chicken, 50 cents for the duck, from the truck that sells live chickens.

! Hello to the universe of regional Chinese foods in the San Gabriel Valley! Hello to great dim sum! Hello to good tomatoes nine months of the year, to Santa Rosa plums, to tasty peaches. Hello to the Santa Monica farmers’...

watching and laughing at people on their cell phones trying to cut movie deals. Not too expensive, though of course you get what you pay for and the food isn’t that great. Farmer's Market on Fairfax & 3rd—one of my fav...

By the way, there’s a new restaurant coming to downtown Lawrence called the Terra Luna Cafe. It will be located over where the farmer's markets are held by the pedestrian walkway.
