Summer reading and food: Anyone read these two or suggestions?
My favorites are Heat by Bill Buford, The Apprentice by Jaques Pepin and My Life in France by Julia Child (and her nephew, as I recall). Right now I am reading Trail of Crumbs (someone above mentioned it)--the writing is good and the story interesting, but it's a little melancholy. More about the author's life (which is certainly interesting) than about food.

Nice thread! Mine is:

Ramblings on cooking, eating, restaurants, and books. And an occasional recipe.
Dinner Tonight: Red Wine Spaghetti with Broccoli
I've always thought of trying this too but, like you, wondered if it would be a waste of a bottle of wine. Now I'm more inspired to try it. Great photo.

California Eatin': Dutch Crunch in the Bay Area
Born and bred in the Bay Area, I know Dutch Crunch! Never eat it anymore but it's true, I ate a lot of dutch crunch sandwiches during the 80s and 90s. Love the Cheese House reference, have had many a massive sanwich from that place.

the best baking cookbook?!
I agree with Baking Illustrated--none of the recipes have ever failed me, and it has a great variety.
Where to eat in SF?
Also--for great pizza--Little Star on Divisadero or Valencia.
Where to eat in SF?
Caroline has the right ideas--I second La Taqueria, Tartine, Burma Superstar, Zuni and Hog Island. And I can tell you that Delfina, San Tung, the Front Porch, Salt House, Firefly, the Slow Club, Emmy's Spaghetti Shack, and Yank Sing should also be on your list of places to try. Have fun!

I love this...especially the end when the dog is wolfing down the sandwich.
Dinner Recommendations for San Francisco Trip
I love the Front Porch and Emmy's Spaghetti Shack--both located in the outer Mission. Emmy's is comfort food with a twist and a great atmosphere--tiny, with booths and sometimes a dj--and Front Porch is hipster southern--think fried chicken and crab and grits. Those are two of my regular spots.
For ethnic food, if you're ready to brave a crowd, Burma Superstar on Clement is great--get the tea leaf salad and supertsar noodles; San Tung on Irving is excellent for Chinese--get the shrimp and leek dumplings and dry-fried chicken. Little Star and Pauline's are both excellent choices for pizza.
Lunch eats in downtown San Francisco?
I agree with Yank Sing and Taylor's Refresher. Also, Cafe de la Presse in Union Square is great for food and ambiance; Mondo Cafe at Mission & 2nd has delicious paninis; and Specialty's has good sandwiches and cookies if you're grabbing something quick.

Look, all of us want more blog traffic, and there is no way we can read all of our collective blogs, but we should really make an effort to check out at least other 5 SE's blogs if we post our own in this thread --after all, not fair to 'shill' if you don't help others out!

So wonderful to have so many fellow writers! I actually have two blogs to share. One is my personal blog: www.thedilettantista.wordpress.com which covers, well, EVERYTHING, cooking, restaurants, movies, etc. I started it this summer when I was living in New York City for an internship, so it is especially heavy on NYC eating.
I am also a contributing writer to Carpe Durham, a food blog that focuses on eating in Durham, North Carolina. The blog was started a few years ago by Duke law students, and I am a newer writer. The blog is a great source if you live in the Triangle area!

While I'm at it, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you food bloggers. The time, effort, and enthusiasm you all put into your blogs delights, entertains, and educates the rest of us.
Thank you all!

California Eatin': Dutch Crunch in the Bay Area
Dutch Crunch is the best you can get when it comes to sandwiches. The best place to get a GREAT! sandwich is at Ike's Place on 16th off of Mission (Castro). The best sandwich I've ever had!
California Eatin': Dutch Crunch in the Bay Area
Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shops carry fresh baked dutch crunch bread. My favorite is the one on Watt and Whitney in Sacramento. They bake it fresh all day long, and it makes the absolute best tasting sandwich I've ever had.
Another excellent place to pick up some fresh dutch crunch is the Sanitary Bakery in South San Francisco -- they have been baking it for as long as I can remember!
Thanks for the info -- can't wait to try to bake my own!
California Eatin': Dutch Crunch in the Bay Area
I used to live in Bay Area and I loved these Dutch Crunch for my sandwiches. I moved to NY and almost forgot about this Dutch Crunch but thank you for reminding me for this wonderful bread. I don't think I have seen them here but I will look for it next time when I am at a bakery. I miss Bay Area!!!
