We Ranked California’s Best Thai Restaurants And These 12 Are The Ones That Made The List

One spot on this list serves its spicy curries on disposable plates, and that’s part of the charm. Another built its whole reputation around roasted duck and jade noodles. Then there’s a vegetarian kitchen in a polished, modern room making crunchy sides meant to mimic duck skin. I have to give that one credit for pure creativity.

Rollicking Louisiana crawfish boils have landed in the East Bay. Here’s where to find one before the year ends

When Marin County native Aaron Salit first visited New Orleans 12 years ago, he was deep in the hustle and grind of the fine-dining restaurant world. As someone who has always enjoyed live music and food, the city’s crawfish boil culture instantly drew him in. Before he knew it, he was returning year after year to attend boils, eventually making crawfish boils a birthday tradition of his own, bringing friends and family together for the same communal experience he had come to love in Louisiana.

A Bay Area Cheesecake Sensation Finds a New Home — in Taipei

In the early days of the pandemic, circa 2020–2021, there might not have been any Bay Area food product as wildly popular as Basuku’s burnt-topped, oozingly creamy Basque cheesecakes. Founder Charles Chen started baking the cakes out of his Oakland apartment, inspired by a version he’d first tried in Japan. And for the next few years, it often felt like customers needed to sell off their first-born child if they wanted to get a hold of one. Instagram flash sales sold out within minutes. When Chen scheduled pop-ups at local restaurants, the lines would stretch, seemingly endlessly, all the way around the block.

Sergeant Ma Is the Fun Group Spot That China Basin Needs

In our Dining Reports, we share a firsthand perspective of a recent restaurant visit, covering everything from the vibe to must-get dishes. See more in the Eater app. Chef Jason Halverson and Hi Neighbor Hospitality Group of Trestle, Mama Oakland, the Vault, and more, have opened their latest restaurant, Sergeant Ma, with a big splash in the China Basin neighborhood. Named after Halverson’s mother — affectionately called both “sergeant” and “ma” — the restaurant is a reflection of his upbringing. His mother immigrated to the United States from Vietnam, and Halverson spent his childhood in Wichita, Kansas, eating his mother’s cooking, where “she interpreted recipes her own way,” as the restaurant shares. What that means at Sergeant Ma is a food menu that zigzags between cultural references, both Asian and Californian, with produce-driven dishes inspired by Halverson’s own history of cooking in (and owning) San Francisco restaurants.
