I've never left a meal at Kronnerburger without feeling like I've gotten in touch with my primal side. Chris Kronner's food is heavy on meat; it's all about bones and marrow and juices; it's food you eat with your hands and gnaw off the bone. When he was at Bruno's in the Mission, he cooked rare, salty burgers that often came with the side of bone marrow. Since he left that and is working on finding his own space in Oakland, he's been focusing more on French bistro fare.
Hope you don't have out-of-town plans for the Fourth of July because you'll be missing out on an appearance by The Other Guys, a newish pop-up from alums of State Bird Provisions, Nopa, Bar Tartine, and more. The trio has done more structured, coursed dinners at a few spots around town, but this time they're at Dear Mom and focusing on bar food. Specifically chicken wings.
Coffee in a can -- sure. Wine in a can -- desperate times call for desperate measures. But the combination?
Friends Fun Wine has concocted two canned, coffee-flavored wines for you to enjoy this summer, because why not, we guess?
Both the Cabernet Coffee Espresso and Chardonnay Coffee Cappuccino contain 6 percent alcohol and are packaged in "slim cans." According to Thrillist, the cans will be sold for $1.99 in 15 states.
In a city of $12 sandwiches, I find myself excited about a lunch special. Manora's Thai has been on Folsom and 12th St. for twenty years. The Zagat and Michelin awards hanging on the wall fade out around 2010, so I went hoping there was still some magic that's kept people coming in. I'd bet it's the $8.95 lunch special.
