Chez Panisse an Alice Waters Restaurant Berkeley CA. Aug 19 2011
Reservations mandatory one month in advance for lunch or dinner.
The lower level dining room was not open yet so I was able to shoot a few pictures in the 30secs I was allowed. The decor is very craftsman style and typical of the time. What this restaurant lacks in overall decor it makes up for in the extraordinary cuisine. Consistently rated 5 Star.
This restaurant is without argument one of the finest in the entire US.
Frequented by hundreds of famous celebrities from around the world. Our
server mentioned Jane Fonda was in for lunch a week ago.

Stopped by 21 Acres Farm's new market in Woodinville last week. I've driven by it a few times so finally stopped by to see what they had to offer. I wasn't too impressed with the amount of stuff they had but they haven't been open for long and will probably grow as their customer base grows. In addition to produce they also had local raw honey, vinegar, fresh milk, flours/grains and more. I guess they did have a large variety of stuff but there is room in the space they are in for more.

After running around all morning doing errands, we decided to check out a new(ish) spot in North Providence called, The Locals for lunch.
This small, charming, cafe type place utilizes local farm fresh ingredients. When you walk in, you are greeted by a sign that says "Welcome to the slow food revolution". We weren't sure what that meant, but took a seat at one of the mismatched tables.
The menu as a whole looked pretty good. Lots of things that sounded really delicious. I narrowed my choice down to the "Sloppy Local". The menu listed it as a true knife and fork sandwich. Blackbird Farm beef cooked low and slow with onions, honey chipotle BBQ, and Narragansett Lager. Served with seasonal slaw. After I ordered, the server came back to tell me they were using pulled pork instead of the beef that day. Fine by me! I'm guessing this sort of thing happens a lot depending on what's available from the local farmers. Again, fine by me.
Here's the part where we realized what the "Welcome to the slow food revolution" sign meant. From what we could tell by the open kitchen atmosphere, everything was being cooked to order by one woman, the owner. This makes for a pretty lengthy wait time. We weren't in a rush so it was nice to be able to hang out, relax and talk -- but we could tell some of the other tables around us were a little annoyed by this.
While running food out to tables, the chef/owner would pass by us and let us know our food would be up soon. So even though things were a bit slow, we were kept updated.
When the food came out, everything was amazing. The sandwich, while not as sloppy as the menu made it out to be, had such great levels of flavor. There was a nice crunch from the slaw and everything played well together. It was savory while being a little sweet, a little spicy, a little buttery and a lot fresh.
I will definitely be back again.

At Beltrami cheese manufacturer in Cartoceto.
The family is proud that US TV cook Lidia Bastianich wrote in her book "Lidia cooks from the heart of Italy" about them. Here's the passage from the book:
"I first encountered Pecorino di Fossa when my friend Mario Piccozzi brought me to Gastronomia Beltrami to meet Vittorio Beltrami, the genius cheesemaker, madman, and philosopher. He looked like an Italian version of Einstein, his hair flying in the wind as he came out the door with open arms and grabbed Mario by the neck. He immediately ushered us in, pressed us to eat and drink something—the Italian welcome—and took us out to meet his animals and his wife, Elide, and daughters, Cristiana and Sara, who tend the rustic gastronomia. There, on an old, large wooden table, were the cheeses, as well as jams, mustards, and the Beltramis’ own wines, for visitors to taste and buy. I felt immediately welcomed by the whole family.
Then off we went to visit the animals. Vittorio petted them and called each one by name, and they seemed to respond. Indeed, it was a beautiful bond between a shepherd and his flock. On our way back, when he stopped in front of a slanted old wooden door, my nose caught wind of some cheese; he opened the door to reveal a narrow cave dug through the pumice, with descending steps.
As we went down into the cave, I noticed that on each side of the wall were shelves chiseled into the stone, and on them the forms of pecorino were set to age. As the humidity increased, so did the intensity of the mold flavor. Because Pecorino di Fossa is made from unpasteurized milk, all nutritive elements and flavors are kept intact, and the resulting cheese is soft and crumbly. It is prepared at the end of spring and beginning of summer, and then put in the wells to age from August to October, at which point it is cleaned and ready to be enjoyed. The Beltrami wells maintain a constant temperature between sixty-two and sixty-eight degrees, and the humidity reaches up to 100 percent. In these conditions, the bacteria and mold modify the cheese so much that in three months it matures into the characteristics of cheese typically aged for three years.
The story of the wells goes back to medieval times, when cheese was the most precious commodity. To save it and hide it from possible burglars, wells were dug out of soft rock like pumice, and the cheese was stored and kept safe. But little did the cheesemonger know at that time that he would get an extra bonus, a cheese that was deliciously aged, Pecorino di Fossa."

DRUGSTORE TURNED BISTRO
Opening day at Hillside Farmacy: Humming with activity, looking understatedly gorgeous
BY SHELLEY SEALE
03.05.12 | 03:30 pm
I am sitting in East Austin's newest eatery, Hillside Farmacy, hours after it officially opened on Monday. The interior meets expectations and is smartly done; it's reminiscent of the pharmacy it once was, but in a warm, friends-house sort of way. Nothing antiseptic about it at all. The place was already humming with activity when I walked through its doors, and I was quickly ushered to a small copper-topped bistro table from where I write this very moment.
Reviewing the menu, I was at once intrigued. The specialties of the house are artisanal cheese and charcuterie plates and a Raw Bar featuring fresh oysters and peel-and-eat shrimp. A number of small plates include marinated mushrooms, giganti beans, house gravlax and sausage-stuffed cured peppers.
A list of sandwiches bring some interesting combinations — corned pork belly with house slaw, a grassfed ribeye with mushroom shallot tapenade — and the one I ordered: Cook's Sandwich with sliced pate, bacon, mustard, pickles, arugula and goat cheese. I'm not normally a pate fan, but this just sounded too fascinating to pass up. And it is delicious, as well as beautifully presented with a swirl of olive oil and stalk of fennel.
Within 10 minutes of sitting here, several staff members stopped by to introduce themselves, welcome me and make sure I had everything I needed. Greg Mathews, co-owner along with his wife Jade, was one of them. He had an interesting story to tell about the pharmacy theme and decor.
It seems that while the Mathews and Executive Chef Sonya Coté (of East Side Showroom) were still searching for a place to open their artisanal eatery and specialty grocery store, Greg heard about some fixtures that were for sale in Elgin. He drove out, expecting to be ushered into a warehouse. Instead, the door to an old, closed pharmacy was opened — in which stood all the original display cases as they had been left when the pharmacy was boarded up years before.
"It was incredible," Greg says. "The cases were beautiful, and full of character." With the purchase made, he headed back to Austin to find Sonya standing in front of what used to be Gene's Po Boys on the east side.
The owner of the building was letting her in to look at the potential space, and introduced herself as Yvette Turner. Her father was Austin's first black pharmacist, and before it was Gene's the building was home to his pharmacy, Hillside Drugstore.
"I heard the word pharmacy, and chills went down my arms," Greg tells me. "I had just bought all these pharmacy cabinets. Turns out Yvette used to work the soda fountain here many years ago." The design and name concept of Hillside Farmacy was born.
Come on down and check it out. For myself, I can't wait to try their Fountain Sodas with house-made syrups. Unfortunately their syrups aren't ready yet, but my mouth is already salivating for the Lilly, made with lavender, berry and honey. I will definitely be a regular.
