This week's tablehopper: carbs and crab. (free)
"Many thanks to the Crenn team for such a playful celebration of high-low: mac and cheese with black truffles, cheffy hot dogs served in the kitchen, and a spin on Frito pie, but with salt and vinegar chips, egg yolk jam, smoked crème fraîche, and caviar. Pastry chef Juan Contreras set up a chocolate fountain in his pastry room in true Willy Wonka fashion, and chef Crenn was in truly exuberant form."
"Exuberance was also bubbling in our Bay Area culinary world when the semifinalists for the James Beard Foundation Awards were announced this week. There was a strong showing of Bay Area chefs and restaurants and bars (including Kim Alter of Nightbird, Kosuke Tada of Mijoté, Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski, Srijith Gopinathan and Ayesha Thapar, Foreign Cinema, The Happy Crane, Kevin Diedrich, The Valley Club, and many more), take a look ."
Atelier Crenn marked its 15th anniversary with playful high-low dishes such as mac and cheese with black truffles, cheffy hot dogs, and a Frito pie variant with salt-and-vinegar chips, egg yolk jam, smoked crème fraîche, and caviar. Pastry chef Juan Contreras installed a chocolate fountain and chef Crenn displayed exuberant energy. The Bay Area secured a strong showing among James Beard Foundation semifinalists, with final nominees announced March 31 and the ceremony set for June 15 in Chicago. FOG Design + Art Fair and ATRIUM at Minnesota Street Project coincide with SF Art Week, and Club Curiosity opens tonight.
