A Sampling of Pasta and Pizza at Flour+Water

Lando — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 04:13:38 +0000

I’m a firm believer that everyone has a list of restaurants that they want to visit. Sure, The French Laundry and Le Bernardin, top mines, but there are plenty of recently opened local Bay Area spots like Benu, that I’ve been anxious to try. With so many restaurants in the Bay Area, there’s no question that my list of “want to go to” spots is constantly changing. Fortunately for Rose and I, an opportunity to put a check-mark by the name of a restaurant we’ve been wanting to dine at came when a couple of our foodie friends invited us to go to Flour+Water in San Francisco.

Flour+Water serves up Italian fare with a focus on a constantly changing menu that follows with what’s available in season. In house made pastas are made fresh daily and their wood-burning oven brings their Neapolitan style pizzas to life. While we were here, we all wanted to sample a little bit of everything. We opted to share everything and it was good to know that Flour+Water made eating family style easy.

Melon Salad with Taggiasca Olives, Fresh Goat Cheese, Pickled Red Onions & Chervil

Funghi Pizza – Roasted Chanterelle & Hen of the Woods Mushrooms, Taleggio, Rapini Leaves & Nepitella

Squid Ink Chitarra with Mussels & Clams, Baby Fennel & Calabrian Chilies

Nepitella Tagliatelle with Lobster Mushrooms & Wild Arugula

Porcini Dusted Halibut with Celery Root Purée, Cipollinis, Chanterelles & Baby Escarole

The dishes look simply prepared at Flour+Water, but don’t let that deceive you. Every dish brought out rich bold flavors, while using basic ingredients. From the burst of sweetness from the cubes watermelon to the finishing spicy taste of chili pepper from the squid ink pasta, each dishes’ components flowed well and altogether made for a wonderful meal.

With plenty of Italian restaurants in the city, Flour+Water has already became a standout. It has already gained the acclaim of becoming a 2010 James Beard Award Finalist for Best New Restaurant. Who knows… Flour+Water might just make it on your personal list of restaurants to try.

A Bite of SF Street Food Fest 2010

Lando — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:37:09 +0000

La Cocina’s Second Annual San Francisco Street Food Festival concluded yesterday bringing on food loving crowds from all over the Bay Area. I had the chance to attend again this year. Although during last year’s event I did experience a few setbacks – limited space for the crowds of event goers that arrived, long lines, and vendors running out of food – I still tried to make the most of it and overall had a good time. Despite what had happened last year, I thought that having an event like this would help spread the awareness of smaller food entrepreneurs. It was good for the city and for the community.

This year’s event aimed to avoid the problems of last year’s event by providing more food vendors and space to accommodate all of the crowds, while still remaining true to the same concept of bringing together street food vendors and restaurants to celebrate their passion for food. Just a quick stroll down Folsom Street, I could already tell that this time around, things would go much more smoothly. By having more vendors and space at the event did help spread out the crowds so that the lines for food wouldn’t be so long. Below are some of the sights of yesterday’s event and what I was able to sample:

Pork Sisig Tacos from Hapa SF

Melon, Duck Prosciutto, and Lardo Salad from Flour + Water

Pork Sausage with Butter Bean Salad from Flour + Water

Curtis Kimball of @cremebruleecart armed with his torch

Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée from @cremebruleecart
