2012 ZAP ZinFest
On an unusually sunny, beautiful 28th of January here in San Francisco; we joined the masses and flocked (walked) to the 21st annual Zinfandel Advocate & Producers ZinFest at the Concourse on Brannan in SOMA. In past years, ZinFest has been held at Fort Mason and this new venue was a pleasant surprise. It seemed much larger and gave room for breathing, drinking and enjoyment of good wine. With glass and baguette in hand, we tasted roughly 30 different wines from various producers, …

Cleanse your way into a happy, healthy 2012!
Are you trying to start 2012 off with a more healthy lifestyle? Many of us aim for more gym-time, eating healthier and weight-loss goals. I will be the first to admit that I loathe the idea of exercise and I love to eat great food. I confess that sometimes, I'm eating out at restaurants with such rich food, so frequently that my body will scream at me-- asking for a break. In the past year I have discovered a local, healthy-body secret: Can Can Cleanse! This is the easiest, yummiest way to …

Domenica Restaurant – NOLA
This past October, the weekend of Halloween, I had the pleasure of accompanying a great friend to New Orleans, LA on one of her work trips.

There are so many great restaurants, cafes, bars and tourist shops in the French Quarter-- making it very difficult to decide just what to tackle. Luckily, I'm an Eater(SF) reader and I frequently check-in with some of their other …

Umami Burger
Umami Burger moves in on Union in SF! We love us a good burger, here at BayZest, so when we heard that San Francisco was getting a great Los Angeles-based burger sensation we knew checking out their new digs had to happen. So what is Umami and what does it mean? You can go there website and click the “Huh?” tab and get a long in-depth definition but we just took our waiters word for it (he said the best translation is “savory” and every item on their menu is just that). This growing …

Hawk’s Tavern – Mill Valley
Hawk's Tavern is a welcomed addition to Mill Valley, in our book. There has been a need for more casual fare than what's offered up at Bungalow 44, Buckeye Roadhouse and the newish (awesome!) El Paseo. It seems like Hawk's Tavern has really hit the nail on the head. With the advice and guidance of the Tavern-Master himself, Tyler Florence, Chef Michael Thiemann has taken the menu TF created and serves it up in a great way. On New Years Eve day, while en-route to San Francisco from the North …

Alternative to High-Cost Hired Drivers
Have you ever found yourself thinking you'd love to spend a day wine tasting in Napa or Sonoma and then instantly push the thought aside once the cost of a limo or town car comes into play? Most car services not only have a minimum amount of hours you must hire them for, but they generally charge much, much more than the cost of the wine tasting and lunch you're set-out to enjoy. I know this has personally happen to me, more than once, and here's a solution I think we'll all be grateful …
