Caroline
Had a late lunch so wanted something light since was going to a steakhouse for dinner. The hotel I was in, the citizenM, didn’t have much food, but I did find this restaurant which was next to or part of the Aloft hotel. Menu looked lighter and healthier. I went for the Spicy Deviled Eggs

The St. Regis Bar
Was at RSA conference for the day. Was meeting up with Stephen who was hanging at the lounge area of the The St. Regis Bar so I came over to join him. I ended up ordering what he had ordered, a friend chicken sandwich. Couldn’t complain since I was starving and every place was a

GLK
New restaurant opened in a location in our neighborhood that’s seen turnover over the years. This is the first (i think) San Francisco location of Grand Lake Kitchen based out of Oakland. They had a soft opening last weekend and I was interested in giving it a try. I went on my run and was

Avenue Café
We were here in Las Vegas only 4 months ago. Back then, this was Netflix Bites which didn’t survive long (and is only notable because Ginny hated it so much and it was a terrible concept) since it’s already gone and re-replaced by Avenué Café. We had breakfast, our first meal here in Vegas. I

Cork & Pig Tavern

Selby’s
Vendor dinner in the private room upstairs. Glasses of Billecart-Salmon champagne to start. Hors d’oeuvres were quite good. The caviar on the blini featured caviar hybrid kaluga (my favorite) from Petrossian. Other hors d’oeuvres included one made with sunchoke, one with beef tartare and a gruyere puff with truffle (don’t recall where it was from).

Netflix Bites
We went for some late night bites. I remember seeing the signs about this opening when we were here in January. I was morbidly curious. This was directly adjacent to the slots where my parents like to play. The menu is themed around various Netflix shows. The puns/play on words for the menu items is

Coolinary and the Parched Pig
I wanted to spend a little more time with Trisha before she dropped me off at my hotel for my conference. I looked for some places for dinner on Eater and on the Michelin guide and we both thought Coolinary looked good. They didn’t have a reservation available indoors on Resy, so I called them

Townhouse
I scheduled a work dinner before our onsite meeting since we so rarely get together since we are all remote and all over the country. I picked Townhouse since I’ve been here a billion times and is one of the nicest places in Emeryville (as far as I know. I haven’t had to go into
