Good Good Culture Club (San Francisco)

Dionne's pick in the Mission District was full of flavor and color! The door and window frames are painted neon pink, tropical murals cover the walls, and plants hang above.The varied textures and spicy, sweet, and umami-heavy flavors in every dish—influenced by Laos, the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, and more. The pork belly steam bun pictured below was to die for.

The night started with an incredible flashback: drinks at Blondie's!! In the late 1990s, Gail and I were a fixture there, sipping those massive dirty martinis. So thrilling to see that it has withstood the test of time and transformation in the City. Other than a minor makeover (outdoor seating), it was the same old Blondies -- with massive martinis you can sip while looking out into the street.

Garcon: A French dining experience

Voila: Garcon was this months' pick. French food is always a lovely treat. This was a cool restaurant in the Mission District. I can't recall whose pick this was! Can't recall any exciting news either, because I've fallen WAY behind on posting!! Mal mal! (I think this was Dionne's pick)

La Urbana

La Urbana on Divisadero. Dionne's pick! This was a hip take on Mexian-ish food. "Modern Mexican Cuisine" they call it! I can't really remember how well we liked it since I got behind on my posts. I'm sure we had margaritas! This was the first R. Club after little Stella's birth. This gathering was a toast to her, and Julia and Steph's January birthdays! Here's little Stella! Jan. 26, 2014.

Nyum Bai - The Husbands Edition

For the first time in 15 years....the husbands finally got to join us for Restaurant Club!!! The 8 of us had dinner at Nyum Bai, Cambodian restaurant. And it was a cheat, since Julia and Jarrod had been there many, many times before. We sat outside in the patio and had such a great time. Maybe in another 15 years they can join us again :) Until next time, friends!
