Inspiration for Executive Chefs
DINNER, STARRING VEGETABLES
Chefs Push Meat Out of the Spotlight, Moving
Vegetables to the Center of the Plate.

Chefs have called a role change, pushing veggies into the entrée spotlight, which has long been occupied by meat. As kitchens continue to place an emphasis on vegetables, meat is moving on from being the star of the show to playing the part of supporting actor.

CAFFEINE COUTURE
Can Artisan Coffee Get Any Haut-er?

CHEFS UNI-VERSAL OBSESSION WITH SEA URCHIN
Uni Makes Its Way into the Mainstream

STREET FOOD
From Grub to Gourmet
Street food such as Chinese Baos and Thai Satay are favorites of food lovers traveling abroad, but these foreign dishes have found a new home stateside, in kitchens across the West. Many chefs discover culinary inspiration from their international travels, and now these dishes sold from cart vendors across the world move their way into casual chic and fine-dining kitchens alike.

Falling into cooking was natural for chef and restaurateur Craig Stoll, whose discomfort with
authority and passion for food drove him into the kitchen. Believing no dish is sacred and constantly striving for culinary perfection have led Chef Stoll and his talented team to over 13 years of success with San Francisco’s beloved Delfina.
