The latest culture as recommended by our staff

It’s a beautiful way

Thursday, 24th May 2007

I have just returned from San Francisco. I loved everything about it. I loved Castro, the men in leather vests and sex shops called everything from Does Your Father Know to Rock Hard. I loved Haight-Ashbury, with its Furry-Freak vibe and smell of pot. I loved the magnificent new De Young museum, with its cracked pavement leading from the road to the main entrance, to symbolise the area’s tectonic topography. I loved the red Golden Gate Bridge swooping across the water, with the lighthouse on Alcatraz a blinking eye in the bay. I loved driving north into the hills of Marin County with the windows down and smelling the eucalyptus.

But most of all, I loved the food. In San Francisco, they don’t just cook — they kook. So hi there, I’m Rachel. I am your server today. Come with me on my crazy Californian culinary journey and, like, enjoy?
