Beard Awards

The James Beard food awards came out, and Tartine scored quite well: “Elisabeth Prueitt and Chad Robertson of Tartine in San Francisco for Outstanding Pastry Chef.” Chron has kind of Chron-istic focus on the awards in their write-up. I love Tartine, that is until I had an insanely rich ham and cheese croissant that was.. well, too rich (for me).
Other notes: super big fan of Albona lately, the Croatian (well currently, prior to borders moving it was Northern Italian/Istrian) the “Michelin Recommended” restaurant in Fisherman’s Wharf-North Beach area. Not that expensive, for the quality, and the place has this comfy, unpretentious yet intimate atmosphere.

Also, got a notice today in the real old-fashioned mail - you, too, can contribute to Zagat- zagat.com/survey.

It’s nice to see the Chronicle finally recognizing Chris Rock’s contribution to the local culinary scene.
Ah,thanks Mattymatt for the correction. Well, it was intentional, I was checking to see fi anyone even read this site. Also, was writing a haiku on my latest-seen:
I Think I Love My Wife
His voiceover tells
the jokes. The other woman,
Requires more motive
