DAYCATION CATION CA AT A TION

Land’s End By Janet Fazio

T

his month we got in the car and headed west—just about as far west as possible—to the northwestern corner of San Francisco, home of Land’s End. We started our adventure at the Land’s End Lookout, a visitor center with all sorts of information about the history of the area. The Sutro Historic District was developed by German-born inventor, entrepreneur and real estate developer, Adolph Sutro, who helped shape the landscape of late 19th century San Francisco. Just outside the visitor center is the Coastal Trail, an accessible paved path that showcases stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the edge of our continent. If you have guests in town or haven’t walked it yourself, put it on your list of places to go. If you head north on your walk, you can check out the memorial to the USS San Francisco, which is constructed from the bridge wings of the WWII cruiser. On your way back, pick up the path that leads to the ruins of the Sutro Baths. You’ll have to use your imagination to picture this massive facility that once accommodated 10,000 people. Built in a classic Greek style, the Baths featured seven swimming pools (six fresh water and one salt water) with slides, trapezes, springboards and a high dive. The Baths included a museum, a laundry that washed 20,000 swim suits and 40,000 towels daily, vending machines, a shooting gallery and more. Continue south on Point Lobos Avenue to the secret part of Ocean Beach which is hidden behind beautiful uninterrupted sand dunes between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard where you can enjoy a quiet walk along the beach. If you’ve worked up an appetite, head back to enjoy a meal at

the Bistro, the casual of the two restaurants at the Cliff House. The Bistro serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with seating available on a walk-in basis. EntrÊes range from $12 to $28. A historic landmark, the Camera Obscura is adjacent to the Cliff House. Built by Floyd Jennings in 1946, the Camera Obscura employs technology created by Leonardo da Vinci in the late 1500s. It produces 360 degree live images of the Seal Rock area using a series of mirrors and sunlight that reflect on a concave disk ($3 cash). Finally, if time permits, visit the windmills at the West end of Golden Gate Park. At 95 feet tall, Murphy Windmill was the worlds largest windmill when it was built in 1905. Things to know: Land’s End Lookout is located at 680 Point Lobos Avenue in San Francisco. It’s open daily from 9am to 5pm. Parking is available. To learn more about the colorful history of the Sutro Baths including a photographic tour, visit CliffHouseProject. com. Don’t forget to carry layers as it’s often foggy on the coast.

EVERYONE’S A CELEBRITY AT BRIDGES GES

By Janet Fazio

The James Beard Celebrity Chef Tour in Danville

F

oodies from around the Bay Area gathered at Bridges Restaurant in March when it joined the ranks of some of America’s finest establishments selected to host the James Beard Foundation’s Celebrity Chef Tour. Other stops on the 2014 tour include Balena in Chicago, Kapnos in Washington DC, Gloria Ferrer Winery in Sonoma and RN74 in Seattle, among others. Each tour stop brings together a group of highly rated chefs to create a multi-course dinner that the Foundation describes as “a work of artistry and craftsmanship.” Each course is paired with a premium wine or in some cases, beer. In keeping with the Beard House tradition, dinner guests have the opportunity to meet participating chefs. Guests at Bridges were treated to pairings

created by Ari Taymor (Alma, Los Angeles), David Varley (Mina Corporate Executive Chef), Sophie Uong (Pican, Oakland), Duskie Estes (Zazu Restaurant & Farm, Sebastopol) as well as Bridges’ own Kevin Gin and Rose Nape. The evening featured amazing culinary creations, but above all showcased the fine details that Bridges attends to so effortlessly, making the restaurant an obvious choice to include along the 2014 tour. From first to last impressions, the evening was flawless. The valet guys have to get an honorable mention for being welcoming and getting people out of their cars and into the restaurant quickly. The event started with an elegant reception p on the patio to warm guests up for the main m event. Chef Gin’s crispy rabbit spring rolls rol were just one of the highlights of the rec reception that included melon fizzes created by award-winning mixologist, Manny Hinojosa, who rocked it in the cocktail department all night long. Kevin Gin started off the dinner with wagyu sashimi with ankimo and Rose Nape put the finishing touch on the evening with her chocolate olive oil mousse cake. Chef Estes’s duck noodle soup and

Chef Varley’s prime rib eye were among my favorites. Bridges’ service was just as memorable as the food. Even on a busy night, the kitchen and wait staff isn’t pushed nearly as far as it was on this occasion, when 100 plus people were served each course at the same time. Glasses were filled, questions were answered and senior staff members came around frequently to visit with guests.

If great service is just as important to you as delicious, high quality food, make Bridges a destination. From happy hour on the patio to dinner in the restaurant, everyone has celebrity status when they dine at Bridges Restaurant and Bar in Danville.

Brunch [noun]. A meal that serves as both breakfast and lunch. Most often enjoyed on a leisurely weekend morning. By Janet Fazio & Brad Mena

CORNER’S TAVERN

BASIL LEAF CAFE

Go casual or dress it up for brunch at Corner’s Tavern, located at the south end of Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. Either way, you’ll love the open air feeling of the gastro pub that features a wall of roll up doors so even those seated inside can enjoy a picturesque day. I enjoyed a large Dungeness crab omelette filled with lots of sweet crab meat, bacon and sharp cheddar cheese. It was served with a side of spring greens and roasted potatoes. My friend raved about her shrimp and grits, prepared with sauteed kale and chimichurri sauce. At $4 a cup, we thought the coffee was a bit pricey, so we opted for $5 Bloody Marys instead. The brunch menu features many more savory than sweet options, including chilaquiles, short rib hash, and of course, their famous burger on a house-made bun. EntrÊes range from $11 to $15. Full bar. CornersTavern.com or 925.948.8711.

Weekend brunch al fresco on a sunny day is great. Throw in bottomless mimosas, and life gets even better. Downtown Danville’s Basil Leaf CafÊ recently expanded their popular Sunday Brunch to Saturdays as well. Served buffetstyle, choose from an array of fresh fruits, salads and Basil Leaf’s signature pastas, along with traditional brunch options like french toast, Belgian waffles with strawberries and cream, bacon, sausage and more. Enjoy the show as your omelette is made-to-order right before your eyes. A regular lunch menu is also available, in case buffets aren’t your thing. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday beginning at 10:30am. Adults $19.95, kids $9.95, includes bottomless coffee, orange juice and mimosas. TheBasilLeafCafe.com or 925.831.2828.

FARMHOUSE EATERY & BAR

DENICA’S REAL FOOD KITCHEN

At first glance, the decor seems a bit dark for a breakfast spot, but now that Pleasanton’s Farmhouse Eatery is also open for dinner, it makes sense. The breakfast menu features a good mix of sweet and savory options. I opted to build my own omelette with mushrooms, bacon and cheese. Their omelettes are huge and come with a heaping side of potatoes. The breakfast burrito is big enough for two (a friend and I both took home leftovers) and also comes with potatoes. Like the omelette, you can choose your filling. Go early to try their special mushroom polenta. It tends to sell out quickly. The French press coffee gets its own special mention as being outstanding. Various roasts are available. EntrÊes range from $9 to $12. Full Bar. 925.398.8665.

It’s no doubt that by now you’ve probably heard of Denica’s Real Food Kitchen, famous for their oversized cinnamon rolls. If you haven’t been, it’s worth a trip. And with locations in Livermore, Dublin and Walnut Creek, you don’t have to venture too far. The cornmeal pancakes have just the right amount of crispy crust. The nirvana crepes filled with strawberries and whipped cream are topped with boysenberry syrup and almonds. They could double as dessert. The burrito with scrambled eggs, potatoes, cheddar and ham was a bit boring, but the chorizo and scrambled eggs with potatoes, black beans and tortillas was a home run. Prices range from $6 to $13.
