CLOSED Masala Jack’s

When someone says cheap and Indian food in the same breath, it's usually a recipe for indigestion, if not worse. You just don't want to play roulette with bargain-basement goat meat and lamb slathered with curry sauce. Hence my slight trepidation when BiteClubbers turned me onto Masala Jack's which recently opened in Cotati, featuring a menu full of curries under $7--many under $5

Check out my riff on Hank’s Creekside). All […]

Juanita, Juanita

Slow Food Nation

Raise your forked-filled fist in the air and wave it around like you actually care. The Slow Food Nation converges on San Francisco August 29 through Sept. 1, 2008 for an inaugural gathering at the altars of Pollan, Petrini and Waters — a sort of latter day organic movement headed up by this farm-to-table triumvirate.

Farmhouse Inn

Farmhouse Inn: Intimate almost to a fault, the restaurant is cozy and homey, with snappy service and a Michelin-rated Cal-French menu that plays to the flavors of many regional wines on their extraordinary list.
