The Brownie: less clumpy equals more delicious
  • The Brownie: less clumpy equals more delicious
Richmond District hot spot Sushi Bistro (431 Balboa at Sixth Ave., 933-7100) recently relocated to a new space a few doors down from the original. Thankfully, the move didn't alter its extensive and creative menu. One of several rolls made with brown instead of white rice, the Bistro Brownie ($11.75) pairs stewed, sweet toro (tuna belly) with pumpkin tempura, topped with mango relish and a sauce that evenly balances sweet and spicy. Okay, so brown rice doesn't stick together as well as white. But it's a healthy, delicious alternative we wish more sushi makers would consider.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
