Restaurant Review: Hakashi in Walnut Creek
Trust me. Famous last words, right? But it’s become a common refrain at upscale Japanese restaurants around the Bay Area, where omakase (derived from a phrase meaning “trust the chef”) tasting menus are all the rage. Rather than pick and choose favorite nigiri or rolls, intrepid diners place their palate in the hand of highly trained chefs who prepare multicourse meals consisting of various fish and other dishes—sort of the equivalent of a culinary trust fall. And an expensive one at that: It’s not unusual for full omakase menus to run upward of $200 per person.

2023 Wood Family Vineyards Chardonnay and Ahi Tuna
Rhonda Wood has been making award winning Chardonnay for at least 7 years in a row and before. I personally have enjoyed this wine extensively for the same amount of time. It has also won my Best Wines tasted over the years for the same amount of time. Over the last 7 years, as a testimony of her quality of Chardonnay, I have purchased 8-14 cases a year. What I also find interesting is that while a thread of flavors is evident year to year, the nuances of the wine do change with the “terroir” of the year.

Review: Roam Artisan Burgers in San Ramon
Roam Artisan Burgers is a burger joint located at City Center Bishop Ranch in San Ramon, California. But that moniker doesn’t quite do the place justice. Roam’s burgers are very tasty and high quality. They’re the kind of thing you might see served in a fancy San Francisco restaurant, but in a much more casual setting, and at a (slightly) lower price.
