The new website for our flagship station, 97.7 The River was where our Crustacean DJ saw that Sizzling Tandoor in downtown Santa Rosa had been voted the North Bay’s Best Indian Restaurant. The food and hospitality he experienced get 5 claws!
When you go to San Francisco, your Restaurant choices are many, and the convenience of one on Lombard Street right before the turn onto Doyle Drive is a good stop for North Bay residents when on a night out in The City. A bonus, is one with great, unusual food at reasonable prices and one that gives back to their community. Such is the case of the Nepalese cuisine.
Lobster asked listeners for suggestions of Restaurants to visit in Santa Rosa. An email from Paul Sullivan gave a strong recommendation to The Stout Brothers. Our intrepid Crustacean DJ visited after the Sunday Brunch one Sunday with Joey Davis and her friends. Joey’s Celtic roots were tickled by this Irish Pub and Restaurant. It was great. Thanks, Sully!
In San Francisco’s Lower Haight, there’s a popular Barbeque restaurant that serves several types of sauces at the table. It was also the perfect Restaurant to pair with the song “Memphis Soul Stew” by King Curtis backed by Booker T and the MGs. Lobster walks in off Haight Street and right up to the counter with his Flip Video camera.
We speak with Harold Rogers to find out why many people say his Restaurant in a little strip mall on Piner Road serves the best ribs in town. He and his wife Nancy opened the Red Rose Café after the bowling alley where they had a food concession closed down. Authentic Soul Food is what you’ll get from this down home spot serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We take the themes of Wine, Gourmet Food and Music deeper. For the first local Restaurant added to our growing selection of interviews, We chose The Vineyards Inn, located just west of BR Cohn, on Highway 12 in Kenwood. For 25 years, they have been serving great food, and striving to be a green and organic business, which has led to an award this year as The Greenest Restaurant in the Bay Area. Paul “The Lobster” Wells chats over dinner at their Patio room at the Restaurant / Bed and Breakfast with Steve (Chef Esteban) as the meal is brought to the table. If we had video, this could be a TV show! www.vineyardsinn.com
We take the themes of Wine, Gourmet Food and Music deeper. Second billed on our growing menu of a selection of interviews, The Fearless Critic, Author of The Wine Trials and recently creator of a faux restaurant in Milan, Italy that received a Wine Spectator Magazine Award of Excellence for its non-existent wine list of sub-par reserve appellations. www.thewinetrials.com
We take the themes of Wine, Gourmet Food and Music deeper on the website. To open up the menu of a selection of interviews, we start with one of the top restaurants in the world and its Director, Jean-Marie Ancher, of Taillevent Restaurant in Paris, France.
