The Giants' strawberry-basil smoothie and salad bar at the new edible garden.
Outside of the usual "so-San Francisco" clichés like Karl the Fog coating 90 percent of the Golden Gate, tourists dangling from cable cars, and techies wearing hoodies to important business meetings, what's more San Francisco than fresh produce and our beloved Giants?
It was only a matter of time before the local, seasonal, organic movement intersected with the orange and black. After a
grand unveiling before July’s All Star break, the garden’s produce, two concession stands, and bar are serving eager visitors (with tickets) ready to lounge on patio chairs and sip Tablas Creek Rosé before and after first pitch.
The question is will the garden’s cuisine represent the team’s winning season start or not-so-great run since June? I ventured to AT&T Park to evaluate the vegetarian options at the garden’s Garden Table and Hearth Table. Let’s just say I got both a Giants win and a dining win.
