Guess who’s coming to dinner — again
President Obama will be back in the neighborhood for dinner tonight, after stopping in Chinatown to pick up take-out dim sum for lunch. He’s supping and posing with a few deep-pocketed supporters paying $38,500 each at the contemporary Gold Coast home of Oracle heiress Nicola Miner and author Robert Mailer Anderson. Entertainment will be provided by the Rev. Al Green, with dinner prepared by Quince’s Michael Tusk. Here’s the menu:
Tortelloni filled with Barinaga Ranch baserri cheese and wild nettle
Poularde in diverse preparations: Roast breast filled with black salsify, savory cabbage; leg fricassee with chanterelle mushroom
Sweet dumpling squash puree and marble potato
Chocolate Cemeux
Straus Family Creamery milk jam and chocolate caramel dentelle
A public rally and fund-raiser follows at Masonic Auditorium on Nob Hill.

Wonderful piece. I remember when the jazz clubs on Fillmore stayed open past two — this brought it all back. Thank you for keeping the memory of the neighborhood alive.

We've lived on Pine near Steiner for thirty-one years and it still surprises us how much this paper notices. Please keep going.

A small correction — the mochi shop on Post opened in 1982, not 1985. My grandfather was there for the ribbon cutting. Love the coverage otherwise.
