They’re all about the seafood, and of course that’s wonderful, but you’d expect it to be. The vegetable dishes I had there were a big subset of the best veggie dishes I had last year! Radicchio XO is astonishing

What a wonderful and thoughtful provoking conversation to find in my notifications this morning. I’m grateful to you both!

1/ Did you know that Vannevar Bush (you know, the guy who helped enable everything from radar to the manhattan project, the NSF to memexes) wrote an autobiography? Turns out that yes he did, it's been out of print since the 70's, and it's *excellent* BOOK REPORT THREAD

Underrated: Californios (ok, I know it has **, but it’s hugely underhyped relative to its peers), La Ciccia, Besharam, the vegetable menu at Angler Overrated: all <= 1* New American that isn’t Nopa, Rich Table, Zuni, or The Progress? :/

I’d be very grateful for a high-area version! I want to follow every node. 🙇‍♂️

This is _amazing_. I can’t get over the fact that it vividly centers on RMO: in our little niche, he’d have been my vote for highest ratio of amazingness to public awareness (he doesn’t even use Twitter!)… and this just instantly plucked him out. Wow.

Fun to see you come up with some names for this cluster! You asked what a similar one in my graph was called, and I honestly didn't know how to answer!

I’d suggest buying a couple portable induction hobs. I cooked seriously with traditional electric hobs for years and never stopped hating it. :/

If the studio were attached to a kitchen, possibly almost all of them! 😬

Because home prices in SF are at a very convenient round number (~$1k/sqft), I’m struck often by observations like “ah, that free-standing whiteboard on wheels is occupying $20k of real estate”

Indeed—I’m pretty desperate for studio space. But an on-demand unobtrusive whiteboard in my living room would still greatly enhance many spontaneous conversations!

This aligns well with people’s existing drives to get larger and larger TVs. Nice!

I hear you, but paper doesn't generate the same change in consciousness. Something about expansiveness and standing and persistent peripheral vision.

Many of the interactions there made their way into "smartboards," particularly in K-12 edu! I've spoken with many teachers who've used smartboards; many view them as wasteful and useless, some view them as incrementally helpful. Hasn't been transformative, it seems.

Lovely, personal thread on making a book on zero-proof drinks from some of my culinary heroes. 's fascinating perspective as a chef: "Yeah, this is what we do all day...we try to combine flavors in interesting ways. [Non-alcohol cocktails] are the same, just with liquid."

Hm! Seems much too small? I find that even 6'x4' is very restrictive. Do you tile many of these?

Screen's too small, doesn't cause the same change in consciousness—at least for me! Possibly something about standing-vs-sitting too…
