Tucked into a corner of the second floor of the museum, it expands into three rooms, with open entry on either side, letting patrons choose which order they interpret Smith’s story. Family, friends and others walked among 28 of his works. The artist was the only one missing.

Diablo Dish: Exciting New East Bay Brunch Spots

Got Benedict? You Will Soon. The local dining scene is buzzing with exciting new brunch concepts launching across the East Bay. First up is Kat’s Kitchen, which replaced beloved Berkeley brunch destination Rick & Ann’s at the base of the Claremont Hotel and opened softly last week. The family-run eatery, led by Victor Maravilla, brought in chef Michael Fornasero, who has experience from revered Bay Area restaurants Foreign Cinema, A16, and The Boonville Hotel. At Kat’s, Fornasero has assembled a “thoughtful, farm-fresh menu” that reimagines neighborhood favorites while “challenging preconceived notions of what breakfast, brunch and lunch can be.” The breakfast menu includes avocado and trout toasts; a “Sweety” section with pancakes, Dutch baby, and classic and Mexican-spiced Belgian waffles; and savory selections ranging from a breakfast sando and Benedict to shakshuka and mole chilaquiles. Lunch offers starters including lentil soup and mussels, salads, and several sandwiches. Kats also makes its own baked goods and plans to start evening wine bar service.

Passing the knife at Oakland’s Delage: New chef, familiar spirit

Love it or hate it, when a chef decides to step away from their restaurant, change is inevitable. A new chef at the helm can mean a few things: a new menu, a new look, or maybe an entirely new restaurant in everything but the name. But for chef Kyle Itani, Delage’s next chapter is not about starting over, but about building on the restaurant’s Michelin-level omakase while adding a few touches of his own.

The best things Eater SF’s editor ate in October

October was filled with a not-quite-caprese salad, cold soba, and a new favorite sushi bite. It can be tough to decide where to dine out in a metropolitan area like the Bay that’s filled to the brim with excellent eats. Dining Reports are just one way to get the word out on the restaurants I’m eating at, but the Best Dishes column is where I break down the singular dishes that stood out, were maybe inadvertently left out of a report, or just haven’t (yet) found their way into coverage — until now. This month’s selections feature a not-caprese salad, cold soba, and a surprising sushi bite in Oakland.
