Yesterday saw this season’s Feast issue of the San Francisco Bay Guardian drop, and while it’s not exactly the Chronicle’s Top 100, it’s worth taking a look at.
Features included the requisite budget-friendly dining roundup, which includes an exceptionally helpful handful of places that will let you bring in your own wine for cheap or no corkage. Did you know Plumpjack never charges corkage? We did not.
A couple of roundups, like the “5 Great Sandwiches” or “12 Sweet Spots” lists might be useful to the uninitiated, but foodies probably won’t learn much. The “Spring Flings” dating roundup is ok, and makes a good brunch suggestion of The Butler & The Chef Bistro. We barely glanced at the Master Cleanse alternative column because, ew.
We really liked and will use the “Big Easy in the Bay” feature because we love drinking, and we don’t have the vacation time to visit New Orleans right now.
Finally, home cooks will totally love the “One chicken. Two people. Three gourmet meals.” feature. It’s a really neat take on budget dining, in which Alice Waters, Gary Danko, and Traci Des Jardines each offer suggestions on how to feed two people three meals from one chicken.
