A recent gastronomical happening in Vancouver has us feeling slightly envious (aren't we supposed to have the monopoly on culinary cool here in San Francisco?).
One of our favorite venues, general store/event space Le Marche St. George, staged a three-night pop-up restaurant with food by local chef Owen Lightly of catering company Butter on the Endive; each evening was named for a song (for example, Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl"), with a culinary theme to match.
