Some people get giddy around movie stars but I get all distracted when I see a famous chef wandering around his restaurant.  We had dinner with Yoon (in town for the weekend) at Incanto, which is where Chef Cosentino cooks.  He’s the dude who competed on Iron Chef and known for his ability to turn tuna hearts and calf kidneys into a 5-star dish.  Well, we weren’t very adventurous last night but the food was still very tasty.  Midway through the dinner I noticed the chef wandering around the dining room and hanging out at the bar and couldn’t help staring.

That same evening as I was waiting for my Muni train, I could have sworn that Jamie, of this season’s Top Chef NY, was standing right next to me waiting for her train too.  Just a few months ago I was having drinks at Orson and saw Chef Faulkner (another Iron Chef competitor) wandering around her restaurant. Living in SF is so much fun for a little foodie like me!
