Eric Tanaka’s Dining Adventures: Sonoma and San Francisco
All Sonoma Meat Big Night with the Meat Buying Club at Bovolo/ Healdsburg:
This event at Bovolo restaurant, owned by Duskie Estes and John Stewart (both are Tom Douglas alumni), was a benefit to support local ranchers. Similar to the way CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) works, these ranchers provide meat for the community. You often see boxes of veggies, but we also need community boxes of meat to complete the cycle, so it was exciting to see this happening. Sopressata, rabbit terrines, and pickled grapes were just a few of the delicious starters for a four course dinner.
Cyrus Restaurant/ Healdsburg – Since this is truffle season, we ordered a terrific white truffle risotto at Healdsburg’s fancy new restaurant, Cyrus. So nice to have a fresh white truffle for a change as opposed truffle oil!
Range/ San Francisco – Fabulous cocktails at Range, in the Mission. I sipped a Morena made with sagatiba cachaça (Brazilian rum), allspice liqueur, apple, and lemon.
Nopa/ San Francisco – Great late night joint, Nopa is located north of the Panhandle. Similar energy to Palace- rustic food, wood fired oven. Great vegetable terrine. The place was packed at 12:30!
