Best Burger ReduxSo, in the advice of a BiteClubber, I headed north to Windsor last night to check out KC’s Downtown Grill for a burger. Here’s my takeaway: – Best burger in town? Sorry.

Now heading the two kitchens is Executive Chef Kimball Jones, a former sous-chef at SR’s Campton Place with […]

Thanksgiving hangover? Yeah, me too. But here are some tasty morsels I’ve been saving up. 2 CrowsMichele Jordan and I stumbled on 2 Crows (9890 Bodega Highway, Sebastopol), the re-opened roadhouse between Sebastopol and Bodega Bay just about the same time–as it was opening.
