I just read Tender at the Bone and I love seeing the Con Queso Rice pop up again! I've just started Comfort Me with Apples. Thanks, Ruth, for your wonderful writing.
Bay Wolf's contributions to Bay Area dining cannot be understated. When Chez Panisse received all the headlines (deservedly), during that same time Bay Wolf maintained a similar standard of excellence while remaining warm and accessible. You go to Chez Panisse to impress others; you went to Bay Wolf to nourish yourself. I miss it.
I kind of love that you were eating at fine restaurants then living La Vie Bohème and eating vegetarian in a crowded house with roommates(?). Your review of Robert's was hilarious, and your editor was absolutely right - how many times can you write "The wine was marvelous, the food well-cooked, and the service was wonderful"? Especially if it's all true?
I arrived in the US in the early 80s from the UK (yes, the UK , where, culinarily speaking, it felt like the War was still on) I was very young, but already a foodie, and so disappointed with the quality of bread, dairy, and even vegetables in California. Home cooks' creativity helped. I couldn't afford the pioneering restaurants you wrote about, but I enjoyed reading about them. Getting good bread in LA (finally!) was the first sign of hope, although it took a long time for good butter to follow.😂
Printed the Con Queso Rice Recipe. I clearly remember and loved Bay Wolf. I also remember having a delicious Paella at your Berkeley house. I asked and you answered me that homemade broth was the key to a good paella.

How fun was that restaurant review? I am going to have to call New West and find out what happened to the author. That kid is going places.

Passed this one on to a Chez Panisse alum.

My favorite San Francisco restaurant was the Basque Hotel. One seating, family style.
Thank you. I will certainly order them. Marilyn from Maine
Great recipe. Satisfying and filling ingredients.
This is my first La Briffe, and I can see that I will love it!
