Studio Gourmet is a San Francisco-based talk show and cooking demonstration rolled into one. Featuring some of the finest chefs in San Francisco, the evening is dedicated to a live cooking demonstration by the chef, followed by a personal 1:1 talk show where you get an insider’s view to the chef — complete with drinks and appetizers, followed by a tasting of the chef’s food.
When there’s talk about burgers, “Umami” is inevitably always mentioned as the top contender for the best burger. Their newest and only location in the Bay Area just opened last week — and I make my way there to review nearly the entire menu.

Once in awhile, a restaurant raises the bar for one specific cuisine type. For me, the one that sets the bar for excellent Chinese food is R&G Lounge in San Francisco.
