Chefstruck

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!

007 and Martinis

On Saturday night, we went out for our first movie in a theater since Superbad.  The Bangs got us tickets at Kabuki theatre, which serves booze in the balcony section – score!

There was a bar at the entrance and we were allowed to take our drinks into the theater with us.  The seats were extra comfy with consoles and cupholders between each of the seats.

So while the boys enjoyed their martinis, I had a tasty cosmo during my movie.  Overall, the movie was entertaining.  I like this new Bond.
