[...] I’m so glad you asked. Tu David Phu wanted to take a break from working the stoves in Bay Area fine dining establishments — his resume includes stints at The Peasant and the Pear in Danville and Pasta Moon in Half Moon Bay.

Hi Jules, Nice to see you here. Your family was adorable — all three boys very interested in either cooking or eating food — or both!

I think that young one of yours is destined to a culinary career, don’t you think?

Curious, Kerry, since you’re not local, where/how you heard about Lisa’s tours? I have a good friend in Singapore who is pretty sure they crossed paths on a food trip when she was in San Francisco on a corporate trip. Small world department.

Sarah, As one of the lucky people on the same tour with you it was really fun to re-live the experience through your eyes. And your eyes are pretty sharp! As you know, I was accompanied by four men…my husband and sons ages 15 to 21. Lisa had plenty of variety to keep the whole group entertained. Cafe Gratitude was a particular touchstone…when we went out for something totally ordinary the next day (burgers maybe) one joked “What?… nothing raw or green?”

I returned to buy a dozen cupcakes at Love at First Bite, for a dinner party that night. They were a huge crowd-pleaser. Especially the Red Velvet. My youngest is hankering to make his own version now. He apparently has forgotten the Red Velvet cakes I have made over the years….
