A few years ago, one random Saturday afternoon during a stroll through SOMA we walked past Alexander’s Steakhouse. A quick scan of the posted menu, loaded with various cuts of steak, was all I needed to add the place to the ever-growing restaurant list – all we needed was the excuse to go. Thank you, birthday.

Last night was cause for a celebration; a birthday for one, a new job for another, and a dear friend’s going away party. After lengthy deliberations on where to spend the evening, Cow Hollow’s newest Belgian brasserie, Belga, was the jury’s selection.

という訳で、今回は最近サンフランシスコのミッション地区に新しくできた「Aster (アスター)」をご紹介します。この場所は前まで「Beast and the Hare」という別のレストランがありましたが、最近このレストランになりました。しかも、このレストランはCoiレストランで有名なシェフDaniel Patterson のGroupの１つです。

After a medium term break of traveling to Japan twice and continually eating (just not writing about it), we are firing up the old word processor for round two. Our first meal back on the horse was at Aster, a new establishment filling in the former Beast and the Hare location. Aster is the work of Outerlands chef Brett Cooper and is a part of the Daniel Patterson Group (Coi); expectations have been set.

最近ミッション地区に出来た新しいレストラン「Lazy Bear」！！このレストランの面白い所は、まずウェブサイトから日時指定の食事チケットを買います。このプロセスを踏まないと当日入れないということですね。でも、とても人気のあるレストランなので、特に週末の場合は予約開始後すぐにチケットがなくなってしまうことが多いようです。また、コースも1種類（ベジタリアン用は別途リクエスト可の模様）しかなく、大きなテーブルに他の人と一緒に座り且つ、皆同時にお料理がサーブされる形式をとっています。そんな一見変わったレストラン体験記です。

It is seldom that a restaurant is as universally praised, so quickly after opening, as Lazy Bear is. Articles and blogs alike shower Lazy Bear with positive comments about the amazing and innovative dishes and an overall fantastic communal dining experience. Scoring a seat, especially on a weekend, can be a challenge – but having finally done so we were absolutely stoked to check out the most hyped up place in the city.

南米旅行で行った、ペルー、リマでのお気に入りのレストラン2件目は、「Astrid y Gaston」です。ここのレストランはCentral同様に南米の「Top50レストラン」に選ばられるほどの名店である且つ、シェフの「Gaston Acurio」はペルーではとても有名です。そして、ここのテイスティングコースの数はとにかく多いです。何と29品出てきます。1品1品アートのようで、レストランの入り口に入ってから帰るまでがまるで１つのストーリーの中にいる様な気分にさせてくれます。それでは、長ーいコースかつ、こちらも1品1品の説明が複雑なので、あまり説明出来ないのですが、目で楽しんで下さいー。

The Progress – quite possibly the most hyped 2014 restaurant opening in all of the Bay Area – is the second offering from the husband and wife team of Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski. Located next door to their critically acclaimed and impossible to get a reservation at State Bird Provisions, The Progress is sure to draw comparisons to its wildly successful neighbor. But is that comparison really fair?

On a rare occasion, a meal is so ridiculously extravagant that it is near impossible to reconcile the evening against any previous dining experience. The 29 course, 3+ hour long tasting menu Astrid y Gaston is one of those experiences. From the setting of the restaurant, through the presentation and flavors of each course, to the bound hardcover book presented at the end as a memento of the menu; Astrid y Gaston is truly a world-class restaurant that, at the #2 spot on the top 50 in Latin American might actually be underrated.
