The San Francisco Bay Guardian:
Paul Reidinger gets deja-vu on a visit to the new Bistro 9, which apparently looks and feels a lot like its neighbor Park Chow. He clears up the confusion, however, with a sharp Star-Trek reference and a convoluted sub-head. Nice. [A wealth of possible combinations and sophisticated treatments]
L.E. Leone still hasn’t gone back to eating at restaurants, but this column on bacon-fat applesauce is pretty funny. [Praise the lard]
And Amber Peckham did not live happily ever after lunch at Trattoria Pinocchio [A less-than-fairytale meal]
SF Weekly:
