Field Trip: Food, Wine, and Music at San Francisco’s Outside Lands

by jbfauthor on August 31, 2009

fatted calf The weather defied everyone’s expectations—80-degree days are a real rarity in San Francisco. Perhaps that’s what had everyone in such high spirits at Outside Lands. Of course, it could also have been the amazing music, great food, and stellar wines.

Tam, Hog Island oysters barbecued or on the half shell, and Fatted Calf sausage sandwiches). The dish that had ev

In Memoriam: Sheila Lukins

by jbfauthor on August 31, 2009

We are deeply saddened by the death of JBF Award–winning cookbook author Sheila Lukins, who inspired generations of home cooks with her simple, modern, and sophisticated style of cooking. In 1986 Lukins, along with co-author Julee Rosso, won her first Beard award, for The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook, and in 1992, The Silver Palate Cookbook (one of the 10 bestselling cookbooks of all time) was inducted into the Cookbook Hall of Fame. That same year, Lukins was inducted into the JBF Whos Who of Food & Beverage in America. [NYT]

"My mom used to send me to school with tuna fish sandwiches on Sunbeam white bread. The tuna fish salad was made with pickle juice. I would stick the lunch bag next to the radiator so the sandwich would get nice and warm. I loved those warm tuna sandwiches!" –JBF Award Winner Barbara Lynch, No. 9 Park, Boston

There aren’t many wineries in California that focus on Spanish varietals. For Louisa Lindquist California’s Mediterranean climate and the distinct grapes of Spain seemed like a perfect match. Her longtime love of Albariño and Tempranillo and the perfect setting of California’s Central Valley has produced Verdad, the winery she runs with her husband, Bob Lindquist (who we profiled earlier this week). Louisa's wines express the true flavors of these old world varietals and the unique California terroir in which they're grown. We asked her what type of music she’d pair with her wines and what she'd eat for her last meal on earth.
