Habanero Sauces From El Yuca By Chef Mateo Granados

Give a man a habanero, and he's got spice enough for a meal. But let him plant a field of habaneros, and you've got hot sauce for a lifetime. Healdsburg chef Mateo Granados has turned his green thumb into a mini-industry, harvesting homegrown chile peppers for his new collection of El Yuca Mhabanero sauces. He had been doing it as a backyard operation and serving the fine, fiery condiments at his Sonoma farmers' market breakfasts, at his catered events, and at his Tendejón de la Calle pop-ups.

Dinner Bell Farm Chickens - San Francisco

By now you've likely seen the already classic Portlandia sketch that lampoons an earnest couple, hyper-focused on the life of the chicken they're considering having for dinner. But don't fret if the joke hits a little close to home; we all love a good origin story. Case in point: Dinner Bell Farm. Located on 30 acres in the foothills of the Sierras, Dinner Bell chickens have their run of the locale, ensuring ample exercise and an ever-changing diet of such flora as goldenrod, trefoil and clover. The heritage-breed birds are also allowed 13 weeks to roam, more than twice the lifespan of typical Cornish broilers.

Pickles & Unordinary Condiments | San Francisco

It's possible we're suffering from condimentia, a condition characterized by the hoarding of jams, spreads and other condiments. Canning has become the new entrepreneurial enterprise, but unfortunately not all the products are good.
