San Francisco has permanently closed the Great Highway to car traffic, prompting a focus on urban life that continues to thrive through local activities and experiences. Amidst changes, SFGATE introduces 'Fogcutter', a column spotlighting unique events and cultural narratives in the Bay Area. This week features a new Walnut Creek restaurant, Sweet Maple, which has redefined brunch with its creative Asian-inspired menu and excellent service, igniting excitement about dining out in a city where small yet profound moments often go unnoticed.
It took the team behind Hoyul Steven Choi's SF-born chain years to make their East Bay debut, and man, it was worth the wait. The Asian-inspired dishes are so thoughtfully crafted - so next-level - and the service so joyful that I can't wait to return.
Scenes like these make the Bay Area breathe with life - things that are too small for the news but too big to ignore. To chronicle them, we started Fogcutter.
