What I found particularly interesting about the Stanford Court guest list was that the winemakers' wives were listed as Mrs. so and so without a first name. Seems like something you wouldn't have expected after the 60s
I wondered what women had to do in order to actually be named on the list instead of being "Mrs.". I was tickled to see Joy and Barry Sterling were there. They were true lovers of French food at its best and Joy and my French mother were close friends who bonded in the kitchen and over l'art de la table.
Zuni never disappoints. Best food and just a fun restaurant to go to. Amazing that Judy’s legacy lives on. Testament to one of the best restaurants in the world. Loved your picture of the fries. Yummm!❤️🙏
Zuni is on my list. I’m a native San Franciscan and have never tasted that chicken that I’ve been hearing about for so long! My mom’s best friend somehow got the recipe and made it every year for her Thanksgiving meal instead of turkey. Sorry I missed the chance to see you when you were in town. Thank you for sharing such interesting food history ephemera !
Square One, Bix, Little City, and the US Cafe were my favorites since I worked around the corner from them in the 80s. And also Fringale, south of Market. I still regret I never made it to Zuni!
OMG - I was at that event at the Four Season in 1985. To this day, it stands out as. one of the finest food and wine events I ever attended. The food/ the stations/the wine was so exceptional!!
Such a great food city. So many great places. Mr. Jiu's in Chinatown. Cotogna. Quince. Atelier Crenn. Benu. Rintaro. Swan's Oyster Bar. Hog Island. Boulette's Larder. Boulevard. State Bird Provisions... and those are just the first few that came into my head. I have only been there a few times in the past few years, so I'm hardly the person to ask.

It shocked me at the time - and it still does!
I'm shocked that neither Alice or Joseph Heitz of Martha's Vineyard fame aren't mentioned!
1975 was unforgettable. I can't taste it anymore, but I distinctly remember being astonished.

But did you notice that there is also a “Mrs. Sterling” on the list?
Noticed the same and agree!
And so many of those “Mrs” were amazing in their own right!

I was lucky enough to work around the corner from Zuni for two years. My welcome lunch and my goodbye lunch were both there, and so many in between!

Had dinner at Zuni just last night! Cesare salad, shoe string potatoes, and of course the chicken. Ended with an incredible flan Parisienne
Charles Shaw Gamay on the wine list! I forgot there was a Napa vineyard and winery before the Two Buck Chuck days.

SO true. I lived in SF for most of life, so I remember when Zuni opened. Even now living in Sonoma County, I never tire of Zuni. Never.
those chips 🍟😍
Zuni and chez Panisse .. top of my list for San Francisco visit in Oct. .. any other suggestions ?

That menu and guest list is spectacular.
