Healdsburg’s Michelin-Starred Troubadour Featured in Apple TV’s “Knife Edge”

Healdsburg’s Troubadour Bread & Bistro is getting some serious screen time in an Apple TV documentary series executive produced by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. That may be surprising for a neighborhood sandwich shop. But Troubadour has a second identity: At night, it transforms into an intimate fine-dining restaurant. And that’s only part of the story.

Super Duper Burgers Opens In Union Square Plaza Kiosk

You can now get a burger — or a chicken sandwich — from well-loved local chain Super Duper in Union Square Plaza. Super Duper opened its 22nd location on Tuesday in SF's Union Square, in the kiosk on the Stockton Street (east) side of Union Square Plaza. The opening brings life back to this kiosk, which in recent years had housed a sort of nondescript cafe, and which had been slated to be an outpost of Tyler Florence's Miller & Lux Provisions, until that plan fell through last year.

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.

Given its convenience, variety and efficiency, Town & Country Village is a popular place for many students to get food at lunch and in between classes. To find the most optimal lunch spot for Palo Alto High students, I evaluated the preferences of my peers across grade levels.

It’s inedible and highly elusive — and San Francisco bartenders can’t get enough

For a few short weeks every spring, San Francisco chefs and bartenders race to get their hands on ume, a tart Japanese plum with skin the color of a tennis ball. It’s not because they’re good to eat; in fact, they’re inedible raw. But once the golf-ball-size fruits have been coated in sugar and steeped in spirits for at least half a year, the infusion becomes one of the most sought-after cocktail ingredients of the moment: umeshu.
