Swift on the heels of Michael Bauer’s three-star review in Sunday’s Chron, the Contra Costa TimesJackie Burrell writes an even more gushing rave about Daniel Patterson’s Plum, to the tune of four stars. “Color us dazzled,” she writes, “Little plates appear magically with tastes of this and that – and what seemed at the time like hyperbolic descriptions from our server turned out to be astonishingly literal.” She goes on to compare Bill Corbett’s desserts to “fairy tales,” and anyway, she loved everything, and she’ll never be the same again.
