The past 72 hours in gossip, innuendo, and cold hard facts about the San Francisco restaurant scene.
Dear diary: Grub Street asked our own Jonathan Kauffman to document a typical week's worth of food-critic consumption, and Kauffman obliged with a snapshot of five days in February. Dude, how are you not the spitting image of Augustus Gloop in vintage flannel and indigo-wash jeans?
Uptown, girl: Grub Street also notes the launch of Bar Dogwood at 1644 Telegraph (at 17th St.), in Oakland's Uptown neighborhood. The pitch: cocktails, cheese plates, meats cured in-house, a Monday industry night, and what Dogwood's Facebook page calls "really small small-plates."
Pigs working overtime: The Feast reports that America is poised to get stinky with truffles, after wholesale importer Sabatino North America launches a chain of bicoastal retail funghi shops. The first Sabatino & Co Roma is opening in Boston next week; San Francisco should have one of its own by the end of the year. The way we see it, you've got seven, maybe eight months to prepare.
