“I went to Seapot in Daly City for all-you-can-eat hot pot and KBBQ after work, and it was the perfect way to end a busy week! The conveyor-belt setup makes grabbing ingredients super easy, and the broths are surprisingly flavorful. I loved mixing sauces at the bar and trying different meats. Everything felt fresh and well prepared. It does get a little loud and crowded, but that kind of adds to the fun, inviting energy. It’s definitely a great spot for group dinners or for winding down after a long week of work and school.”

“Peter and Kelsey Devison’s motto — ‘Texture. Tension. Terroir.’ — shines in this world-class Sauvignon Blanc. Hailing from the Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley, it expresses minerality and citrus intensity layered with lushness. Though this is a serious Sauvignon Blanc that reminds me of classic French Sancerre, its whimsical label and succulent character make it seriously fun to sip.”

“If you love bowling, but don’t love the standard fare at bowling alleys, stop by Sushi House in Alameda after some solid strikes. The restaurant is unassuming, but has incredibly fresh options, and the sliced asparagus beef roll is a unique option.”

“The belly rancheros at this Castro spot made me want to travel back in time to party a little harder the night before, because that dish is pure brunch panacea. Tender kurobuta pork belly? Kimchi pico de gallo? Huevos rancheros? Heads up: You’re going to need to repeat anything you say to me during the first five minutes of this meal.”
