Rethinking British Classics at Corenucopia by Clare Smyth

WesBurger fans, this one’s for you. There’s a bra WesBurger fans, this one’s for you.

There’s a brand new diner on Polk Street. Goldenette. With a menu by Wes of WesBurger fame. 

The fancy smash burger? Unreal. Crispy edges, melty cheese, and I will always say yes to an onion burger. Of course the tots were perfectly fried.

My friend said the spicy chicken sandwich was insanely tender. 

There’s a kids menu and whole breakfast menu with egg sandwiches and breakfast burritos. Even the salads sounded bomb. 

You need to add this to your list.

📍Goldenette, San Francisco

When your girl leaves San Francisco for food, you When your girl leaves San Francisco for food, you know it’s serious.

I went down to Menlo Park for a new restaurant and rare wine shop devoted to heritage chicken.

The team behind Somm Cellars in NYC partnered with multi-Michelin-starred chef Jared Wentworth to open Café Vivant.

First impression. Wall-to-wall stunning white oak wood and wine galore. Over 3000 bottles.

Favorite bites?
Caviar-topped heritage chicken nuggets that tasted like my favorite McDonald’s nuggets, but better.
Fried quail with duck fat cornbread.
And a juicy wagyu New York strip with yorkshire pudding.

We ended strong with sticky toffee pudding, with jasmine and black sesame ice cream. 

Was it worth leaving the city for? Yes. I honestly felt a little FOMO about not living in Menlo Park anymore.
