Kathleen Hill: Hungarian Dinner/Dancing, No Local Crab, Thanksgiving Dinners in Valley Restaurants

Sonoma’s Tokaj Sister Cities Committee is always thankful for the lives it has changed through its winery intern exchange program. This biennial dinner, featuring Hungarian dancing and performances, is not the stuffed Bell pepper that some elementary school cooks forced us to eat once a week, that I can still smell and taste to this day.

Texas-style BBQ, Indonesian soul: Fikscue is making it easier to get your fix

The brisket Fikscue serves in Alameda on Saturday starts cooking Friday morning — across the Bay in San Francisco. Around 6 a.m. the day before service, co-owner and pitmaster Fik Saleh starts the cook at Fikscue’s second location at Thrive City, outside Chase Center. It can run until 9 or 10 p.m. The finished briskets then spend the night resting hot in a warmer.

This California Italian Restaurant Makes Handmade Pasta Worth Planning An Entire Dinner Around

The walls here were hand-plastered in waves meant to look like pasta shapes or wedges of Parmigiano. Even the lamps above the tables were designed to mimic pizza dough. I like how this restaurant treats dough as more than dinner. The pasta is shaped by hand, and the menu changes daily.

11 California Bakeries Making Fresh Sourdough Bread For The Thanksgiving Table

One San Francisco bakery has been making sourdough since 1849. That means its bread was rising before California even became a state. I still can’t get over that. Sourdough is old-school baking at its best. It doesn’t use packaged yeast. Bakers rely on a living starter made of flour and water, and it gives the bread that famous tang.
