This week, I’ve gone into my girl Vanessa’s fridge, who lives in San Francisco at the moment. She has moved since these pictures were taken, so you will be looking at what was eventually all thrown out. Sad! But I think that as a generation of transients and constant apartment movers, we all have this […]

Spent a day in San Francisco with my girl Vanessa- we walked around Hayes Valley, and stepped into this charming little candy shop, Miette. It’s a colorful fantasyland for anyone with a serious sweet tooth- you’re transported to a candy shop from the 1950s, with a huge selection of candies and chocolates, plus beautiful, organic […]

Just got through a heated chat session with my friend from LA about the new ordinances against taco trucks that will be going into effect tonight at midnight. Taco trucks will be fined $1000 or up to 6 months jailtime if they are parked in one spot for longer than an hour. WTF?!?!?! To prepare […]

Just got in really late last night from a weekend in Cali. Surprised my mama for mom’s day! I scored big points with that one- I expect that to override anything that would be considered bad daughter behavior for the next few years. I’m really exhausted and I’ve got a busy day ahead of me, […]

This is ridiculously overdue, being the last post in my California Soul series which began two months ago (!). Putting together this video has been haunting me, and I finally buckled down and worked on it for your viewing pleasure. It took me all Sunday to make it, so you better friggin love it! I […]

I recently shot with Alex Espiritu, the very talented pastry chef at The Dining Room, at the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco. Here are some of his amazing (and delicious!) creations.

Orson, Pastry Chef Elizabeth Falkner’s new restaurant in San Francisco is not to be missed. The restaurant is enormous with both upstairs and downstairs dining, and her desserts exude the same sultry sexy confidence that she does. Industrial concrete, dark table cloths and chocolate colored chairs make you feel just as sleek as your surroundings. […]

My buddy Ray recently had his birthday gathering at Tomales Bay Oyster Company. It was genius. We headed north from SF over the Golden Gate and about another hour and a half on highway 1 winding through Stenson Beach to Tomales Bay. The place is simple. They sell super fresh oysters from a stand and […]

I was recently in the SF Bay Area and was very excited about a trip to The Melting Pot in Larkspur with my cousin Shannon. As fondue fanatics, we were fiercely let down. We went at 6:30 on a Wednesday with 4 people. We were told they were fully booked and they said we’d have […]

This post is dedicated to Hua and Wangster. Whenever I go home, I gotta get my dim sum fill. My mom thinks this is so bizarre, cause she knows I always go to dim sum in NY. But it’s just different in the Bay somehow- dare I say better? I don’t know what it is- […]
