You may be interested in reading my latest post for Bay Area Bites which is a review of the new book "The Slow Food Guide to San Francisco."
Here's an excerpt:
I found the content of the book and the restaurant reviews to mainly be engaging and fair. Many of the contributors are names that you may be familiar with: Meredith Brody, Bruce Cole, Kim Severson, and Jan Newberry are just a few of over 50 Bay Area writers who contributed to this book. Descriptions tend toward story-telling. For instance, I learned the history of Cowgirl Creamery, the number of jars of jam that June Taylor makes in a year -- all with her stovetop kettle (answer: 20,000), and how Zuni Cafe is like a long-term, monogamous relationship.
