My Quarantine with Trader Joe
There were fewer dining-out options than usual during my trip to San Francisco last week, causing me to stock up for quarantine with Trader Joe. Tried a number of new products with some hits and a few surprising disappointments. Let’s … Continue reading
My $46 takeout meal from Benu
As I planned a quick trip to San Francisco (with maximum safety precautions), I set my eye on the $46 takeout meal from Benu. People in San Francisco don’t mind paying for fine food, and in sit-down times Benu offers … Continue reading
Hot and Not at the 2020 Winter Fancy Food Show
We’re just back from the 2020 Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco, where the focus as you might expect was on “plant-based” everything. Impossible and Beyond weren’t there, but there were plenty of meat alternatives as well as products … Continue reading
Nibbling at the 2019 Winter Fancy Food Show

Jacqueline, the granddaughter-in-law of the originator of Rice-A-Roni, makes this rendition for family gatherings. She starts with rice and vermicelli, but I wanted to try it with the actual product. Serves 4. Ingredient: 1 package Rice-A-Roni, chicken flavor 1/4 c … Continue reading
My Royal Feast
On a recent visit to the Bay Area I enjoyed as good a meal of its type as I’m ever likely to experience. My Chowhound friend Melanie Wong has been tracking Chef Zhongyi Liu, a Beijing-trained chef who once represented … Continue reading
Food for Thought: Omnivore Books
I’ve pretty much stopped buying new cookbooks in physical form. They’re hard to schlep around, inconvenient to refer to while you’re cooking, and it’s a tragedy when you splash hot grease on your favorite photo. My growing Kindle library is … Continue reading
ISO Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat
I had disdain for Rice-A-Roni when I lived in San Francisco. How dare they put a cable car on their box and pound our ears with a jingle that called it “the San Francisco Treat”? I equated the packaged mix … Continue reading
