Check out that cute logo: the Assocation of Food Journalists just handed out its awards this past weekend, so we would like to congratulate all our San Francisco winners: Bonnie Wach, the excellent contributor of the San Francisco Weekly, which thus gets a step ahead in the hotly contested weekly of the week competition. Who ever said the Weekly food critics were underperforming? Awards also went to Julie Kaufmann, of the Merc, for best food section, and to the Chron’s Miriam Morgan, Linda Murphy, Carol Ness, Michael Bauer, Craig Lee for best food section, best photography, best feature writing, best news reporting, etc. The Chron sure racked them awards. Congratulations to all of them. more ›

Dan Leone leaves San Francisco and finds a nice taqueria in San Leandro suggested by a reader in San Diego, Los Pericos. For the record, Dan, Jamaica is named by Mexicans after the famous sorrel tea from, you guessed it, Jamaica. Paul Reidinger runs into Dennis Leary -- not the annoying stand-up comic, but the the former chef at Rubicon. He's now the main man at the Commodore Hotel's restaurant space, which he's taken to naming Canteen and specializing in breakfast and lunch. Watch the space for improved decor and an expanded dinner service, Paul says. more ›

The Weekly went entirely veggie. We think that shooting capitalist pig-dogs is probably better for civilization than not shooting animals, but whatever floats your boat. Meredith Brody opts for the temple of EssEff veggie gourmets, Greens, while Bonnie Wach visits the now review-saturated Urban Forage (SFist was there months ago). Jonathan Kauffman braves the East Bay stroller scene at Pizza Antica in Lafayette in order to stalk the elusive Brussels sprout salad of Gordon Drysdale. He'd also like to point out that you can help aspiring bakers achieve their dreams of a steady job by dropping by the Bread Project for delicious baked goods. more ›

We know he gets a bad rap, but we love Martin Yan. It's so easy! Look at this! The Chron pays for a meal to get the interview, and it doesn't bother us one bit. GraceAnn Walden totally bites Doyle, leading with troubles at Michael Mina. Been reading SFist lately, GraceAnn? Also, enough caucasians have discovered pho (pha? phur? phuh?) to warrant an introduction by the Chron. SFist has been curing hangovers and colds with pho since high school. more ›
