excerpt:
For the opening menu, Gonzalez will have dishes such as ceviche de champiñónes made with trumpet mushrooms, a smoked salmon tostada, and two tacos, one made with a morita sofrito and the other made with charred yam. Gonzalez also highlighted the tabla de carne, a meat board of sorts that will feature a carne seca — a dried beef rubbed with citrus, chilis, and sea salt, and dehydrated in-house — along with a carnitas ríete, pickles, and corn tostadas. There will also be a cheese board, or tabla de Quesos Salazar, highlighting cheesemaker Queso Salazar. That board will feature a salsa macha-marinated queso fresco, quesillo, a Oaxacan-style cheese, along with others, including local honey, spiced almonds, and pickles. The menu will also offer three types of desserts, including two vegan offerings, like the Budín de Chocolate, a dark chocolate pudding spiced with cinnamon, cayenne, and chilis, which Gonzalez calls a “mole inspired pudding.”

Matt of Fisherman’s Life (1.1 million subscribers on YouTube) and friends catch halibut on the San Francisco Bay and take it to Aura Restaurant in the Dogpatch at 2368 3rd Street, San Francisco, to be prepared as ceviche, fish and chips, and Vietnamese Cha Ca with dill and turmeric. Outstanding.
The segment of the video that goes to Aura Restaurant starts at the 6:30 mark.

The new public market in Los Altos looks really interesting. I keep hoping Menlo Park along El Camino will/would do something like this.

That is an impressive piece of food history, tracing the origin of the American steak chain to the Mumbai restaurant where Indian sizzlers got their start and their subsequent evolution, apparently beloved in India now!

thanks for sharing this! Especially cool to see the halibut made into Chả cá Lã Vọng, which I remember fondly eating in Hanoi many years ago! (and yet another sizzling platter dish!)

Anyone try La Victoria taqueria or the orange sauce?
1 Like
Yes to both! We used to go there when we lived in San Jose. It’s a little spicy, but totally makes the tacos. They have an outpost in Hayward now, so we need to pay them a visit.

When I’m in Hayward, I’m going to have to remember La Victoria and get the sauce.

Guatemalan rice tamales resemble distant cousins of Chinese zongzi. (Luke Tsai)
excerpt:
The cart’s other most popular item is atol de elote, a hot corn beverage that Guatemalans like to drink when they’re eating tamales, Aguilar explains. But really, everything on the menu is exceptional—especially the eggy and wonderfully savory chiles relleños, and the tender chicken leg stewed in light, mole-like sauce.
Antojitos Guatemaltecos is open 3–10 pm every day except Tuesdays and Sundays. On Saturdays, they open early, at 10 or 11 am. The cart is located outside Panadería Guatemalteca at 653 23rd St. in Richmond. Cash only.

Guayanese pepperpot, made with beef oxtail and stew meat
Calypso Rose Kitchen
excerpt:
Diners can expect dishes like oxtail stew, based on the Guayanese pepperpot dish, which is traditionally served at Christmas and Easter. McGowan’s version is a mixture of beef, oxtail, and stew meat, cooked with cassareep, a spiced, molasses-like ingredient made from the cassava plant.
Calypso Rose Kitchen is scheduled to open in the Emeryville Public Market on June 30.
5959 Shellmound St,
Emeryville
excerpt:
…
Although the restaurant is hamstrung by staffing, many new dishes are in the works, such as grilled tofu skewers and salted Taiwanese pork belly, a bacon-esque creation. Tung, who runs the kitchen while Lin oversees the front of house, has been fermenting local produce, including mustard greens and radish leaves

Ajanta, CyBelle’s Front Room, Syma’s Mexican Grill & Persian Cuisine | Check, Please! Bay Area
Ajanta starts at the :55 mark, CyBelle’s vegan at 7:28, and Syma’s at 15:00.
from YouTube:
We start this week in Berkeley, where Ajanta focuses on harder-to-find Indian specialties with creative, modern flair, regularly changing up their menu to showcase unexpected, complex regional dishes. Next, we’re off to San Francisco’s Inner Sunset to dig into New York-style pizza at CyBelle’s Front Room. Boasting one of the Bay Area’s most extensive vegan menus, CyBelle’s focuses on decadent, carb-centric Italian and American cuisine, placing plant-based creations alongside its more familiar meat offerings. Finally, Syma’s Mexican Grill and Persian Cuisine pairs two unexpected culinary traditions, offering authentic Mexican cuisine alongside flavorful Persian fare. Syma’s isn’t a fusion restaurant; instead, it’s a celebration of two disparate palates, all served with gusto. Reporter Cecilia Phillips wraps up this week’s Check, Please! Bay Area with a visit to the Coastside Farmer’s Market in Half Moon Bay, home to beautiful, hyper-local produce, all harvested and produced by farms within a six-mile radius.
