Trevor Felch collected recipes, insights from local chefs for book.
In “City Eats: San Francisco,” Bay Area food writer Trevor Felch has collected recipes and insights from chefs throughout the city. The book includes a list of the best restaurants in the South Bay and the Peninsula; Felch has family in Los Gatos and so is particularly knowledgeable about the town’s dining scene. Bay Area food writers can’t realistically eat at every place in Silicon Valley or San Francisco, but they can recognize rising stars and established icons.
Felch has an excuse to visit the South Bay in that he has family there. His grandparents retired to Los Gatos, and his parents live in Los Altos Hills, where they have a vineyard planted to sauvignon blanc and syrah. Family outings in Los Gatos have taken them to the Lexington House, Oak & Rye and the Bywater. When his grandparents lived at The Terraces, his grandfather loved walking into town for a meal at Los Gatos Brewing Company, a place Felch still enjoys.
The book is a who’s who of San Francisco culinary history, with homage paid to Jeremiah Tower of Stars, Michael Mina, Chronicle columnist Herb Caen and Nancy Oakes of Boulevard. Reverently mentioned are Sam’s Grill, open since 1867, and Zuni Café, an icon since 1979. Felch also includes Original Joe’s recipe for their Louie dressing, which is spiced up with horseradish.
