SFist Culinary Digest

Congratulations to our Westside Organics contest winner Niall K., who managed to score himself three deliveries of fresh produce by getting back to us within, oh, thirty minutes or so of the post going up. We should have made the questions harder! Live and learn. Thanks to everyone who entered -- we're sure you'll get some free stuff from us eventually.

In the Guardian, Dan Leone thanks everyone for their support through his recent troubles before drowning his misery in hot-and-sour soup at Taiwan Restaurant. Paul Reidinger reviews the new brasserie La Suite, and we feel does a better job of it than a certain columnist for the weekly (and does not manage to drop "Close enough for jazz" on us like a hot, smelly brick).

Speaking of certain columnists, we have a feeling that Meredith Brody got Lime right -- i.e. it blows -- and even manages to snark a bit on the "chocolate fountain" meme at the local restaurant trade show. Still, she's no Jonathan Kauffman, who worries about the plans for the new Harvest Hall at Jack London Square when not enjoying the choripapas at Cafe Valparaiso.

Karola Saekel at the Chron spends all sorts of time figuring out how to make Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches more expensive and complicated than necessary. Georgeanne Brennan, on the other hand, does a nice job of explaining what to do with quinces you've snatched from your neighbor's yard. Marlena Spieler is home for the holidays, and we feel for a fellow Yank having to throw Thanksgivings in England -- there is, after all, a reason the pilgrims left.
