Summer in 42 plates ☀️ The team behind San Franci Summer in 42 plates ☀️

The team behind San Francisco’s most creative tasting menus just launched its most ambitious yet. It’s a playful, nostalgic journey through summer.

Dinner starts outdoors, so bring a jacket because… SF. The first half is a Southern barbecue, reimagined through dozens of tiny plates. 

Think avocado corndogs, sweet tea sorbet, chicken fried green tomato, short rib chili, and smoky BBQ ribs.

Then you head inside for a summer drive-in movie. Some “desserts” look sweet but turn out to be savory, including my favorite bite of the night: a tuna sandwich macaron.

Is this a purse? Nope, it’s a dried watermelon, a playful riff on Japanese hoshigaki.

The tableside sweet corn ice cream with poundcake and chili lime was the perfect ending.

The 42 Plates experience runs through the first week of October. Catch it before SF summer ends.

Goodbye dining table, hello cuddle puddle. Might be my favorite version of my 525 sq ft studio yet 🥹

The floor mattress is from @zonlihome and I bought it myself, but they were kind enough to give me a code after seeing the setup.

To long summer days, Pride, pretending to watch the World Cup, reunions, new friends, bittersweet goodbyes, and great food. 🫶🏼
