Wise Sons pop into Ferry Building farmers’ market
Last year, Evan Bloom and Leo Beckerman saw opportunity in the lack of stellar Jewish cuisine in San Francisco, so they started the search for a restaurant space to house their Jewish deli concept, appropriately named Wise Sons.
a foodie news roundup for you!
Starting with our friends at Mission Mission, news of a new restaurant coming to the MUS•e•YUM backyard, on 24th Street! We already had Rosamunde for top quality sausages, Mission Pie for the ultimate dessert pie and Humphry Slocombe’s for the ice cream. . . this restaurant puts all three foods into one space! One stop shopping we say…
Homemade sausages and homemade pies coming to former Discolandia space « Mission Mission.
We miss Capri in the Castro. It was a great pocket restaurant for a family style dinner that didn’t break the bank. One could always count on the surly waiter for a funny if not scandalous quip… has he asked everyone to take their shirts off at one point or another? Since the demise of Capri we’ve wondered what would take her place. Tablehopper has the scoop. Spanish! The name, Canela. We love the concept, especially the idea that they’ll have space for casual dropping in to take an espresso… very european indeed!
Details on Canela, Opening Soon in the Castro
More of our favorite things, Chocolate, wine, cheese and charcuterie and in one very cool up and coming neighborhood, the Dogpatch. Very close to our favorite ice cream spot, Mr and Mrs Miscellaneous:

The latest in Burger News:
We like Super Duper a lot. It’s definitely grown up since it opened a year ago in the Castro. While at first it seemed like a very good (and more expensive) version of an In and Out Burger (thin patties and thin-cut fries, made with very fresh, high-quality ingredients) they ‘ve added some interesting, larger burgers to the menu as well as some great ice cream desserts made with Strauss organics. Success has lead to expansion, not only to Market Street but now, the Marina:

and before the much anticipated Umami Burger opens in Cow Hollow, plans are already underway for an Umami location in the Mission, our backyard here at MUS•e•YUM.
best concert at an ice cream shop, 2010: Jane Wiedlin plays Humphry Slocombe with special guest, Big Gay Ice Cream Truck
Humphry Slocombe‘s played host to a birthday party- slash- ice-cream-mashup this summer, 22 August, and the result of this hot-mess conflagration-of-coolness turned out to be one of the most memorable parties of the year. The birthday boy was Doug Quint of the infamous Big Gay Ice Cream Truck. Haven’t heard of it yet? It’s a roving ice cream truck out of New York, and it has a cult following there. The man himself chose Humphry Slocombe’s as the site of his party, and dished up a special flavor on-the-spot, Tranny Smackdown:
(“tranny padding” (shortbread baked by Humphry’s Jake Godby), Slocombe strawberry ice cream and marshmallow fluff, smeared “mascara” (dark chocolate sauce), and smeared “lipstick” (Amarena cherry sauce), all topped with Trix cereal.)
Add to the mix Quint’s long-time friend, rocker and former Go-Go Jane Wiedlin, who lives in the Mission(!!) and who, in the column of coolest. birthday. present. ever. debuted her new song Big Gay Ice Cream Truck, a gift for Quint (which you can download on iTunes here)
Rounding out the glamouratti: Yay! Sprinkles and Beach Blanket Babylon were on hand to provide the requisite chic flair, together with lots (and lots) of rainbow balloons…

share: more news from sfeater re:Hayes Valley Proxy Plan
According to SF Eater reporting, we’ll start to see the first vendors rolling out their businesses @ the Hayes Valley Proxy Project by the end of this month. Looking forward to seeing just how this innovative space will evolve! With vendors like Smitten Ice Cream, Suppenkuche, 4505 Meats and Pizzeria Delfina, the project planners hold the bar high. This is going to be destination dining folks; don’t miss this one. Together with Hayes Valley Farm, Ecstasy, and See Saw, there’s a lot going on in this dynamic neighborhood!
Sounds as if Hayes Valley’s game-changing Proxy Project, which we last heard was rolling out in December with some 4505 Meats action, is now maybe hopefully going to start rolling out this month. SFoodie has the latest on its planned pop-up installment, wherein a series of guest chefs and possibly La Cocina businesses would pop-up in one of the architectural pods created by modified shipping containers. As far as the length of each chef stint goes: “It could be for a week, a month, or even just a night or two.” As of today the roll-out schedule for the other Proxy businesses is as follows: Smitten Ice Cream and Ritual Coffee in January, Suppenküche’s Biergarten in March, then 4505 Meats, the pop-up gigs and finally Pizzeria Delfina.
the best chocolate chip cookie in San Francisco is at Goody Goodie!
Can there be any doubt why SFWeekly chose Goody Goodie Cream & Sugar as the best Chocolate Chip cookie? Check out this photo:

salsa trio
I am very excited to report that one of my photos has made it onto one of my favorite websites/columns, Tablehopper, the go-to source for information about what’s going on in the San Francisco food scene. Thanks Marcia!
This week, Tablehopper started a new feature, “Déjà Vu: Have We Not Met Before?”. Photos of two similar dishes are shown and the reader is invited to guess the restaurant of origin for each, and which came first. In this inaugural column, the face-off is between two salsa trios. I know the provenance of one of them, of course. I have no idea about the other. Do you have a guess. . . ?
