Best meals of 2008 – Manresa (Los Gatos, CA) | tasty bits
http://www.tasty-bits.com/index.php/2009/03/26/best-meals-of-2008-manresa-los-gatos-ca
Best meals of 2008 – Manresa (Los Gatos, CA). I’ve given up on the goofy parody of Iron Chef that appears today on the Food Network, but last week was an exception. David Kinch was battling Bobby Flay and I was a little more than interested in the outcome. Not that a win on Iron Chef means anything, but after visiting Manresa. And you have yourself an epic battle between good and evil. The lavender lemonade with a sprig of garden mint was one of the most simple and interesting first courses I have seen ...

The Missing Ingredient (Part 2) | tasty bits
http://www.tasty-bits.com/index.php/2011/03/22/the-missing-ingredient-part-2
The Missing Ingredient (Part 2). I ended my last post by asking. How is it possible that in a city distinguished by it’s rich multi-ethnic cooking traditions much more so than restaurants that push the boundaries of food, a crop of young chefs emerge out of nowhere and manage to ignite such excitement? Where do they get their inspiration, their drive, their training? Spot Prawns at Yam’tcha. Paris, via L’Astrance various kitchens in Hong Kong).

Lunch at Feast (Houston) | tasty bits

Lunch at Feast (Houston). Bone marrow, parsley salad. Suet crusted tongue and brain pie, bubble and squeak. It was a real pleasure to see James Silk back in Houston. Feast never stopped being Feast in his absence, but it’s a better place with Richard, Megan and James at the helm. From tastybitz’s posterous. Food in Houston sneaks into Feast for another taste.

Absolute Mission (SF) | tasty bits
http://www.tasty-bits.com/index.php/2011/09/11/absolute-mission-sf
I started with Tea Smoked Eel, constructed like b. From pulled hamhock, rice noodles, Chinese celery, cognac and soy. With slightly mushy texture the eel wasn’t handled as delicately as in your favorite sushi house, but it has a nice flavor. The tough hunks of raw Chinese celery ensure that the roll falls apart as soon as you take the first bite, but it doesn’t really matter. It tastes reasonably good either way. All in, not a bad night in the Mission district. Tenacity Supper Club (July 10th). Latest on...

2009 – a year in photos (July-December). 2011 is one hour away and everyone is finished with their illustrious 2010 retrospectives at this point. Me? I march to the beat of a different drummer. He’s the second part of my unfinished ‘2009 in photos’. Post (a promise is a promise). I found this scared crawdad on a floor of a grocery store in Houston, where more crawfish is consumed than in any city in US (according to Jim Gossen. My most recent meal at The Sportsman. Which became an instant Houston classic...

The Missing Ingredient (Part 1). I like reading end of the year recaps. Not the smarmy Michelin star measuring contests, but the ones that capture how diners feel about their city at at a point in time. These stories can be very telling and if you read the latest crop for 2010 you get a clear sense that the natives are getting restless. John Kessler took the unusual step of expressing his frustration. And in a lot of ways the restaurants and dining public in San Francisco responded. Bay Area is now ...
