Spotlighting less familiar cuisines
By Between Meals Jan 24, 2007
I love going to New York because it focuses my thoughts and helps me better understand some of the major trends in the food business. On many occasions, I meet colleagues from around the country and learn what trends are being nurtured in San Francisco (communal tables) and those that seem to have gone national, such as upscale Indian food.

Crema
By The Strong Buzz Apr 09, 2006
Crema is the newest incarnation of the narrow 17th Street space that has been Snack, an American small plates restaurant, and then Sandia, a Mexican spot with a juicy watermelon theme. One has to wonder about troubled locations like these—whether it is the space that is cursed, or rather, the concept, the chef, or the restaurateur in particular that inhabits that space that ushers in a premature death. Crema, however, feels like it has the legs to stick around for more than the typical yearlong lifespan. The place has a cheery, unassuming vibe, with walls washed in coral tones, a sweet little curtained lounge up front, and a lean bar topped with vases of Birds of Paradise and oversized oblong bowls-as-trophs of crunchy tortilla chips. What mostly adds to its viability though, is the chef and owner, the lovely Julieta Ballesteros, well known for her cooking at her popular cantina, Mexicana Mama. FULL REVIEW
