It was Marin’s first and only ramen restaurant, and so great was the unmet demand that the small restaurant couldn’t keep enough noodles in stock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We started with a very simple menu. We wanted to make sure we got it right,\" said co-owner Benson (Ben) Yang. \"We just couldn't anticipate demand. It was a good problem to have, thankfully, we started running out of everything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Things have changed since then. Uchiwa now has four different kinds of ramen, plus vegetarian and vegan options, and two kids' bowls, a full menu of appetizers, and rotating specials. The bowls are rich and salty, in the Tokyo-style, said Yang. And they hardly ever run out--even with the crowds that fill the space during the winter. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one thing hasn’t changed: it’s still the only ramen shop in Marin County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owners Yang, 49, and Kevin Fong, 51, have long been foodie friends. For over 20 years, they worked together in the healthcare industry. When they started brainstorming ways to take their love of food out of their personal kitchens and to the public, they knew that they wanted to do something locally in Marin, where they both live, and they knew that a diversity of cuisines was lacking on this side of the Golden Gate Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's shocking that there isn't more authentic quality Asian food in Marin,\" said Yang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106001\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/01/noodle-cascade.jpg\" alt=\"You come to Uchiwa for the ramen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-106001\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/01/noodle-cascade.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/01/noodle-cascade-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/01/noodle-cascade-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/01/noodle-cascade-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/01/noodle-cascade-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/01/noodle-cascade-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/01/noodle-cascade-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">You come to Uchiwa for the ramen. \u003ccite>(Brian Fong)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s not that there’s no good food in Marin. There's even plenty of good Asian food.

But even as ramen has exploded in popularity, it hasn’t made its way as thoroughly to Marin.

There is also a miso broth, which is the base of the vegetarian bowl ($11.45) or a pork version ($12.45). We tried the shio vegan bowl ($12.45), which is a tad light on the flavoring without the pork broth to give it extra texture.

Cozy and intimate, this Noe Valley eatery is where to go when you want to up the romance ante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Focusing entirely on his native cuisine from Sardegna, chef Massimiliano Conti sticks to his roots with a rustic, seafood-focused menu and an impressive wine list that showcases the region’s interesting offerings like Cannonau and Vermentino. The octopus stew is a staple for many diners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://statebirdsf.com/\">2) State Bird Provisions\u003c/a>, San Francisco (Lower Fillmore)\u003cbr>\nIf your date is into the Bay Area food scene go to State Bird Provisions, one of the coolest new spots where you are likely to see San Francisco chefs dining. What started off as a way for chefs Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski, formerly of Rubicon, to deep-fry quail (California’s state bird) has developed into one of San Francisco’s most innovative menus. Some dishes are served Dim Sum style, others can be ordered, everything arrives at the whim of the kitchen, and it’s all delicious. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/\">3) The Ferry Building\u003c/a>, San Francisco (Embarcadero)\u003cbr>\nIt seems nearly impossible to have a boring date at a marketplace that offers so much. Try \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/hog_island_oyster_company.php\">Hog Island Oyster Company\u003c/a> for a super social happy hour Monday through Thursday, or meet up on a Saturday morning for celebrity-chef-spotting at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/farmers_market.php\">farmers’ market\u003c/a>.

Belly up to the bar for a classic gin martini from a charming curmudgeon of a bartender and enjoy it with a plate of oysters and a spot-on French onion gratinee soup. A petite filet, some shrimp scampi, and the flattering dim light of the tiny dining room add up to romance galore. The best part? They serve dinner until 1am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://barbocce.com/\">5) Bar Bocce\u003c/a>, Sausalito\u003cbr>\nThe newest addition to Sausalito’s tourist-friendly and locally-beloved food and wine scene is an idyllic spot for a first date. Watch the sun set over the harbor from any of the outdoor couches or tables surrounding the fire pit, or ignore the natural beauty in favor of athletics as you toss a bocce ball forward and a glass of wine back. Though the food is secondary to the setting and the innovative wine-cocktail list, Bar Bocce is absolutely worth a visit for a first date--even if it's just with a friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sorellacaffe.com/\">6) Sorella Caffe\u003c/a>, Fairfax\u003cbr>\nClassically Fairfaxian-casual, Sorella Caffe has a skilled, low-key staff and solid Italian food with flair.

Cozy and intimate, this Noe Valley eatery is where to go when you want to up the romance ante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Focusing entirely on his native cuisine from Sardegna, chef Massimiliano Conti sticks to his roots with a rustic, seafood-focused menu and an impressive wine list that showcases the region’s interesting offerings like Cannonau and Vermentino.

What started off as a way for chefs Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski, formerly of Rubicon, to deep-fry quail (California’s state bird) has developed into one of San Francisco’s most innovative menus. Some dishes are served Dim Sum style, others can be ordered, everything arrives at the whim of the kitchen, and it’s all delicious. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/\">3) The Ferry Building\u003c/a>, San Francisco (Embarcadero)\u003cbr>\nIt seems nearly impossible to have a boring date at a marketplace that offers so much.

Belly up to the bar for a classic gin martini from a charming curmudgeon of a bartender and enjoy it with a plate of oysters and a spot-on French onion gratinee soup. A petite filet, some shrimp scampi, and the flattering dim light of the tiny dining room add up to romance galore. The best part?

Its owner Marcia \u003ca href=\"http://barinagaranch.com/\">Barinaga\u003c/a>, a third-generation American Basque, bought it with her husband when she decided to “take a break” from her career as a science journalist and retire on the land they had grown to love since purchasing a shore house in Marshall in 1993. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/2ewes560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/2ewes560.jpg\" alt=\"Ewes on the ranch\" title=\"Ewes on the ranch\" width=\"560\" height=\"547\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40026\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Pregnant ewes resting at Barinaga Ranch. Photo: Liza Shaw\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Barinaga’s original intention was to retire, she is not a woman who sits still easily. The compact, well-spoken cheesemaker with a doctorate in molecular biology was not sure what she wanted to do with the land. But her Basque roots run deep and slowly the idea of making sheep’s milk cheese took hold of her. “When we bought the ranch I had never even touched a sheep and there were no buildings here,” she laughs. But Barinaga is a quick learner and within a few years she had traveled to Basque country to learn shepherding and cheesemaking from her distant relatives; built a milking parlor and a small creamery; and by 2008 began producing two types of distinctly Basque cheeses. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent tour of Barinaga Ranch and creamery, Marcia was asked by a visitor, \"What kind of cheese did they have in your father's Idaho sheep camp?\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She laughed and responded, \"Big blocks of orange American cheese. They never thought to make cheese with their sheep's milk!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barinaga’s grandparents arrived from \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markina-Xemein\">Markina\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.chinci.com/travel/pax/e/3130017/Angiozar/ES/Spain/0/\">Angoziar\u003c/a> in the Basque country to Mountain Home, Idaho in the early 1900s. Her father grew up on a ranch with 5,000 sheep where the main products were lamb and wool. At that time cheesemaking from a herd of ranch sheep was unheard of in Idaho though it was a common practice in the Basque country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barinaga’s father eventually left the ranch to become a mechanical engineer in upstate New York where Marcia was raised. “He was unique because he worked for General Electric and he spoke fluent Basque,” she explained. “My father traveled on business to Bilbao for his entire working life, and business trips to Europe in the 1960s lasted at least a month. He got to know all of his Basque family,” unlike his siblings that still worked on the Idaho ranch and were only able to travel to the Basque country once in their lifetime. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/sheep-collateral560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/sheep-collateral560.jpg\" alt=\"Baserri label\" title=\"Baserri label\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40028\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Barinaga shows the label for her Baserri cheese.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barinaga herself traveled to the Basque country for the first time at age 12, and has since returned five times. “My family there doesn’t speak English, and I don't speak Basque, so we communicate in Spanish--which they speak well, and I speak poorly,\" she says. \"There's a limit to the degree we know each other, but there's love and a great affection.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so it was these shepherding cousins that Barinaga turned to when she decided to try her hand at cheesemaking. Shepherding is synonymous with cheesemaking in the Basque country--it would be unheard of to have sheep there and not make cheese from their milk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she contacted a cousin to ask for advice on how to begin her new career path, Barinaga says, “He wrote me this email in Spanish, saying:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>‘I am so happy you have chosen the life of the baserri. It is not a wealthy life, but it is a rich life.’\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Baserri, in Basque, means both “farmhouse” and can refer to the 'farming life.' Barinaga named her first cheese, a pressed, raw-milk cheese “Baserri.” It’s made in the same manner that \u003ca href=\"http://www.artisanalcheese.com/cheeses/Idiazabal\">Idiazabal\u003c/a>, the traditional Basque cheese that has its own \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denominaci%C3%B3n_de_Origen\">DOC\u003c/a> (Denomination de Origen, like a wine appellation) is made on both sides of the Pyrenees. On the French side, it's called \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossau-Iraty\">Ossau-Iraty\u003c/a>. A newer addition to the Barinaga cheese lineup is the “Txiki,” (meaning “small”) a miniature version of the Baserri. Both cheeses have a pleasantly nutty taste, a firm texture, and lend themselves well to being eaten on their own in triangles with an accompaniment of figs or chutney, or to being melted into a decadent sandwich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/8baserri-txiki560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/8baserri-txiki560.jpg\" alt=\"Both Barinaga Cheeses\" title=\"Both Barinaga Cheeses\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40030\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Both of Barinaga's sheep's milk cheeses.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barinaga also learned aspects of cheesemaking on the French side of the Pyrenees from Luxi and Arno Oxandabarats who taught renowned Vermont cheesemakers Cindy and David Major the tricks to making their acclaimed \u003ca href=\"http://www.vermontshepherd.com/\">Vermont Shepherd Cheese\u003c/a>. Also in Vermont, Barinaga did an internship of sorts at \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatwellguide.org/listing/detail/25743\">Hope Farm Sheep Cheese\u003c/a>. “I went for a week to learn how to milk sheep,” she explains, “and I learned so much there. So many of my key ideas came from the wonderful generosity and creativity of Harvey and Barb Levin,” she attributes.

Locally made sausage is available for purchase when you tour Barinaga Ranch and you can expect to see Barinaga Ranch charceuterie on a few select San Francisco restaurant menus in the coming year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/9sausages560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/9sausages560.jpg\" alt=\"Fresh Sausage\" title=\"Fresh Sausage\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40036\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Freshly-made Barinaga Ranch sausage.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I’ll never send my ewes off to a slaughterhouse to be made into dog food,” she avers. “They have served me faithfully and they deserve better than that.”\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Barinaga Ranch cheeses are made from April through early October when the ewes are in their prime milking season, though Saturday tours of the ranch and the creamery are available year-round.

Its owner Marcia \u003ca href=\"http://barinagaranch.com/\">Barinaga\u003c/a>, a third-generation American Basque, bought it with her husband when she decided to “take a break” from her career as a science journalist and retire on the land they had grown to love since purchasing a shore house in Marshall in 1993. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/2ewes560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/2ewes560.jpg\" alt=\"Ewes on the ranch\" title=\"Ewes on the ranch\" width=\"560\" height=\"547\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40026\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Pregnant ewes resting at Barinaga Ranch. Photo: Liza Shaw\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Barinaga’s original intention was to retire, she is not a woman who sits still easily. The compact, well-spoken cheesemaker with a doctorate in molecular biology was not sure what she wanted to do with the land. But her Basque roots run deep and slowly the idea of making sheep’s milk cheese took hold of her. “When we bought the ranch I had never even touched a sheep and there were no buildings here,” she laughs. But Barinaga is a quick learner and within a few years she had traveled to Basque country to learn shepherding and cheesemaking from her distant relatives; built a milking parlor and a small creamery; and by 2008 began producing two types of distinctly Basque cheeses. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent tour of Barinaga Ranch and creamery, Marcia was asked by a visitor, \"What kind of cheese did they have in your father's Idaho sheep camp?\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She laughed and responded, \"Big blocks of orange American cheese. They never thought to make cheese with their sheep's milk!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barinaga’s grandparents arrived from \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markina-Xemein\">Markina\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.chinci.com/travel/pax/e/3130017/Angiozar/ES/Spain/0/\">Angoziar\u003c/a> in the Basque country to Mountain Home, Idaho in the early 1900s. Her father grew up on a ranch with 5,000 sheep where the main products were lamb and wool. At that time cheesemaking from a herd of ranch sheep was unheard of in Idaho though it was a common practice in the Basque country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barinaga’s father eventually left the ranch to become a mechanical engineer in upstate New York where Marcia was raised. “He was unique because he worked for General Electric and he spoke fluent Basque,” she explained. “My father traveled on business to Bilbao for his entire working life, and business trips to Europe in the 1960s lasted at least a month. He got to know all of his Basque family,” unlike his siblings that still worked on the Idaho ranch and were only able to travel to the Basque country once in their lifetime. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/sheep-collateral560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/sheep-collateral560.jpg\" alt=\"Baserri label\" title=\"Baserri label\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40028\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Barinaga shows the label for her Baserri cheese.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barinaga herself traveled to the Basque country for the first time at age 12, and has since returned five times. “My family there doesn’t speak English, and I don't speak Basque, so we communicate in Spanish--which they speak well, and I speak poorly,\" she says. \"There's a limit to the degree we know each other, but there's love and a great affection.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so it was these shepherding cousins that Barinaga turned to when she decided to try her hand at cheesemaking. Shepherding is synonymous with cheesemaking in the Basque country--it would be unheard of to have sheep there and not make cheese from their milk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she contacted a cousin to ask for advice on how to begin her new career path, Barinaga says, “He wrote me this email in Spanish, saying:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>‘I am so happy you have chosen the life of the baserri. It is not a wealthy life, but it is a rich life.’\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Baserri, in Basque, means both “farmhouse” and can refer to the 'farming life.' Barinaga named her first cheese, a pressed, raw-milk cheese “Baserri.” It’s made in the same manner that \u003ca href=\"http://www.artisanalcheese.com/cheeses/Idiazabal\">Idiazabal\u003c/a>, the traditional Basque cheese that has its own \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denominaci%C3%B3n_de_Origen\">DOC\u003c/a> (Denomination de Origen, like a wine appellation) is made on both sides of the Pyrenees. On the French side, it's called \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossau-Iraty\">Ossau-Iraty\u003c/a>. A newer addition to the Barinaga cheese lineup is the “Txiki,” (meaning “small”) a miniature version of the Baserri. Both cheeses have a pleasantly nutty taste, a firm texture, and lend themselves well to being eaten on their own in triangles with an accompaniment of figs or chutney, or to being melted into a decadent sandwich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/8baserri-txiki560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/8baserri-txiki560.jpg\" alt=\"Both Barinaga Cheeses\" title=\"Both Barinaga Cheeses\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40030\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Both of Barinaga's sheep's milk cheeses.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barinaga also learned aspects of cheesemaking on the French side of the Pyrenees from Luxi and Arno Oxandabarats who taught renowned Vermont cheesemakers Cindy and David Major the tricks to making their acclaimed \u003ca href=\"http://www.vermontshepherd.com/\">Vermont Shepherd Cheese\u003c/a>. Also in Vermont, Barinaga did an internship of sorts at \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatwellguide.org/listing/detail/25743\">Hope Farm Sheep Cheese\u003c/a>. “I went for a week to learn how to milk sheep,” she explains, “and I learned so much there. So many of my key ideas came from the wonderful generosity and creativity of Harvey and Barb Levin,” she attributes.

But what always lures me to the back roads is the sea-tinged scent of eucalyptus and coastal scrub, and the small farms, quirky towns, and rolling sheep-dotted hills of West Marin.

A promise of really excellent doughnuts and a superior cappuccino is usually enough to rouse even the most sluggish of un-morning people. A decade or so ago, I was working on a round-up of doughnut shops in the Bay Area for a local magazine. Not a single chocolate-glazed was worth getting up for until my friend Liz, born and bred in Marin, turned me on to her favorite high school hangout, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/donutalley\">Donut Alley\u003c/a> in Larkspur. (The exit was Paradise Drive, easy to remember, for what is paradise but a morning that starts with a perfect doughnut?) I went there and fell in love. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same guy had been running the place for years. They opened at 6:30am and closed when they ran out of doughnuts, usually before noon. There were no maple-bacon or vegan plum-cardamom doughnuts, just good old old-fashioned old fashioneds, your buttermilk bars and apple fritters and cute, tender, just-sweet-enough cake doughnuts, chocolate-iced, cinnamon-sugared, or pink-sprinkled. Parents came in with their kids for a bag to go; old guys sat around a few Formica tables scattered with copies of the Marin I-J and drank paper cups of coffee from the help-yourself Bun-o-matic machine. And while a recent visit revealed the place to be a little spiffed up (the coffee is organic now, the tables dark wood, and a new blueberry doughnut, made with dried berries, is selling fast), the spirit and doughnuts are exactly the same. Polite kids still point and ask, “Can my little brother have that chocolate one, please?” while their baby sisters squeal for sprinkles and chocolate milk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/08/emporio-rulli-larkspur560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/08/emporio-rulli-larkspur560.jpg\" alt=\"Emporio Rulli in Larkspur\" title=\"Emporio Rulli in Larkspur\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32303\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the drip coffee on offer is perfectly fine, you Sightglass-spoiled city folk probably need a more potent eye-opener.

It’s time to get onto the meandering Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. It winds, stop and start, through the posh Marin towns, San Anselmo, Greenbrae, Ross, and Fairfax. Soon, though, the countryside opens up and the road slides under towering redwood trees and bark-shredded eucalyptus, swinging past the forested campgrounds of Samuel P. Taylor State Park, through the one-block town of Olema, epicenter of the 1906 earthquake, and into the (by comparison) bustling little town of Point Reyes Station.

Foggy August is winding down, with sunnier September right around the corner, just in time for the kids to be back in school and the doldrums of summer’s cut-out-early-Fridays to slip away. So grab these last couple of weekends before Labor Day, sling your sandals and beach towels in the back of the car, and get out of the city in search of sunnier climes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Oakland or San Francisco, my vacation compass always points north. Yes, the delights of Pacifica, Pescadero, Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Luis Obispo on down to Los Angeles are many, and I’d happily return for a second slice of olallieberry pie at Duarte’s, or another view of the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s undulating kelp forest and huge, prehistoric-looking sunfish. But what always lures me to the back roads is the sea-tinged scent of eucalyptus and coastal scrub, and the small farms, quirky towns, and rolling sheep-dotted hills of West Marin. So, 101 North, what have you to offer for the casual daytripper?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/08/donut-alley.560jpg.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/08/donut-alley.560jpg.jpg\" alt=\"Donut Alley sign\" title=\"Donut Alley sign\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32302\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For starters, get out of town early, before the bridges and highway are clogged with the rest of the vacationing hordes. A promise of really excellent doughnuts and a superior cappuccino is usually enough to rouse even the most sluggish of un-morning people. A decade or so ago, I was working on a round-up of doughnut shops in the Bay Area for a local magazine. Not a single chocolate-glazed was worth getting up for until my friend Liz, born and bred in Marin, turned me on to her favorite high school hangout, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/donutalley\">Donut Alley\u003c/a> in Larkspur. (The exit was Paradise Drive, easy to remember, for what is paradise but a morning that starts with a perfect doughnut?) I went there and fell in love. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same guy had been running the place for years. They opened at 6:30am and closed when they ran out of doughnuts, usually before noon. There were no maple-bacon or vegan plum-cardamom doughnuts, just good old old-fashioned old fashioneds, your buttermilk bars and apple fritters and cute, tender, just-sweet-enough cake doughnuts, chocolate-iced, cinnamon-sugared, or pink-sprinkled. Parents came in with their kids for a bag to go; old guys sat around a few Formica tables scattered with copies of the Marin I-J and drank paper cups of coffee from the help-yourself Bun-o-matic machine. And while a recent visit revealed the place to be a little spiffed up (the coffee is organic now, the tables dark wood, and a new blueberry doughnut, made with dried berries, is selling fast), the spirit and doughnuts are exactly the same. Polite kids still point and ask, “Can my little brother have that chocolate one, please?” while their baby sisters squeal for sprinkles and chocolate milk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/08/emporio-rulli-larkspur560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/08/emporio-rulli-larkspur560.jpg\" alt=\"Emporio Rulli in Larkspur\" title=\"Emporio Rulli in Larkspur\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32303\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the drip coffee on offer is perfectly fine, you Sightglass-spoiled city folk probably need a more potent eye-opener.

Sip it at one of the sidewalk tables, or take it to go and stroll over to Dolliver Park, at the corner of Magnolia Ave and Madrone St. Sit under a redwood tree and breathe the green forest smells while you lick the sugar off your fingers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Double back to 101, but not for long. It’s time to get onto the meandering Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. It winds, stop and start, through the posh Marin towns, San Anselmo, Greenbrae, Ross, and Fairfax. Soon, though, the countryside opens up and the road slides under towering redwood trees and bark-shredded eucalyptus, swinging past the forested campgrounds of Samuel P. Taylor State Park, through the one-block town of Olema, epicenter of the 1906 earthquake, and into the (by comparison) bustling little town of Point Reyes Station.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: there's just not a whole lot to choose from when you're seeking really good quality food without twenty-seven small children running amuck in a spot that's actually open past 9 p.m. Because my folks live in Marin and I visit often, I'm always on the lookout for new restaurant openings and places to try, and ever since\u003ca href=\"http://barbocce.com/\"> Bar Bocce\u003c/a> opened a few months back, it's been at the top of my list. Wood-fired pizzas, beautiful patio right on the water, bocce ball courts, inexpensive/local wine list, kind of infamous brownie? This had to be mostly hype, right? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First thing's first: Bar Bocce has the menu and the kitchen staff under control. The menu is a simple, straight-forward and inspired mix of American and Mediterranean food and Robert Price (former\u003ca href=\"http://www.buckeyeroadhouse.com/\"> Buckeye Roadhouse\u003c/a> chef) is manning the kitchen. So far, life is good. The appetizers are all small plates--perfect for sharing--and we found the pizza to be an ideal size for two people as long as you're ordering a few other things for the table. So we did. I suggested the meatballs; my mom was dying to try the oven-roasted asparagus with pecorino. And the pizza? It was a unanimous choice with the Dungeness crab pizza with Meyer lemon and avocado creme fraiche. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After ordering, we had a chance to take in the scenery, the amazing view, and the crowd inside the restaurant. There's no way to quibble with the fact that the 22-person outdoor seating area is one of the more beautiful in the county. It sits right next to the Bay with a dramatic pergola and an inviting fire pit and bocce ball court. This is the new spot to gather for happy hour drinks and watch the sun drift off into another day. The best news? There weren't twenty-seven screaming toddlers. But after experiencing the dramatic outdoor space, there's something about coming inside that seems a bit anticlimactic. It's almost as if they literally ran out of money before they began developing and designing the interior space. It looks much more like an average pizza shop, complete with large televisions broadcasting live sports games. We could've lived without this. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when it all comes down to it, the food is what will bring people back. And Bar Bocce has the food down. Our meatballs--a blend of three different kinds of meat, bread crumbs, and a secret blend of spices-- were incredibly flavorful and left us actually wishing we'd ordered the meatball pizza. The asparagus was perfectly roasted, and the Crab pizza was \u003cem>almost\u003c/em> an order-again. The sourdough crust was perfectly chewy with a nice, slight char on the edges. Just the way it should be. But the crab itself was a little sparse and we thought the creme fraiche just came off as a little showy. A Dungeness crab pizza should stand on its own.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: there's just not a whole lot to choose from when you're seeking really good quality food without twenty-seven small children running amuck in a spot that's actually open past 9 p.m. Because my folks live in Marin and I visit often, I'm always on the lookout for new restaurant openings and places to try, and ever since\u003ca href=\"http://barbocce.com/\"> Bar Bocce\u003c/a> opened a few months back, it's been at the top of my list. Wood-fired pizzas, beautiful patio right on the water, bocce ball courts, inexpensive/local wine list, kind of infamous brownie? This had to be mostly hype, right? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First thing's first: Bar Bocce has the menu and the kitchen staff under control. The menu is a simple, straight-forward and inspired mix of American and Mediterranean food and Robert Price (former\u003ca href=\"http://www.buckeyeroadhouse.com/\"> Buckeye Roadhouse\u003c/a> chef) is manning the kitchen. So far, life is good. The appetizers are all small plates--perfect for sharing--and we found the pizza to be an ideal size for two people as long as you're ordering a few other things for the table. So we did. I suggested the meatballs; my mom was dying to try the oven-roasted asparagus with pecorino. And the pizza? It was a unanimous choice with the Dungeness crab pizza with Meyer lemon and avocado creme fraiche. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After ordering, we had a chance to take in the scenery, the amazing view, and the crowd inside the restaurant. There's no way to quibble with the fact that the 22-person outdoor seating area is one of the more beautiful in the county. It sits right next to the Bay with a dramatic pergola and an inviting fire pit and bocce ball court. This is the new spot to gather for happy hour drinks and watch the sun drift off into another day. The best news? There weren't twenty-seven screaming toddlers. But after experiencing the dramatic outdoor space, there's something about coming inside that seems a bit anticlimactic. It's almost as if they literally ran out of money before they began developing and designing the interior space. It looks much more like an average pizza shop, complete with large televisions broadcasting live sports games. We could've lived without this. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when it all comes down to it, the food is what will bring people back. And Bar Bocce has the food down. Our meatballs--a blend of three different kinds of meat, bread crumbs, and a secret blend of spices-- were incredibly flavorful and left us actually wishing we'd ordered the meatball pizza. The asparagus was perfectly roasted, and the Crab pizza was \u003cem>almost\u003c/em> an order-again. The sourdough crust was perfectly chewy with a nice, slight char on the edges. Just the way it should be. But the crab itself was a little sparse and we thought the creme fraiche just came off as a little showy. A Dungeness crab pizza should stand on its own. And this one could, absolutely, with just a few tweaks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/05/bar-bocce.jpg\" alt=\"bar bocce\" title=\"bar bocce\" width=\"500\" height=\"460\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27204\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Left: Roasted Asparagus and a Meatball; Right: Dungeness Crab Pizza\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to refreshingly good Marin food, I'd return for the atmosphere alone.

When you talk to people living in, say, Seattle they'll tell you that really good authentic Mexican is tough to come by. So when my sister and her boyfriend were visiting (from Seattle) last weekend and mentioned a hankering for some legitimate mole, I know we had to go to \u003ca href=\"http://www.lascameliasrestaurant.com/index.html\">Las Camelias\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las Camelias is the baby of chef and owner, Gabriel Fregoso who grew up in the very small town of Cuautla in western Jalisco. His mother and grandmother were big cooks, and in 1976 Gabriel came to Marin and started working at the Lark Creek Inn in Larkspur. He worked his way up to the position of cook, and a few years later opened Las Camelias using his mother and grandmother's recipes. In a county where restaurants open and shutter in the blink of an eye, thirty-two years in business is a pretty big deal. Gabriel's doing something right. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you walk in, the first thing you'll notice is the warm, rustic atmosphere with heavy wooden chairs and tables and thoughtfully chosen artwork. The servers will set you up with a \"margarita\" right away (they don't have a liquor license so they're really wine margaritas). But they still make their own in-house margarita mix and it veers far from the often overly-sweet store bought variety. Try one. Trust me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then you must try the guacamole. I'm a bit finicky about guacamole. But at Las Camelias, they do a really simple version that has grabbed my attention: tons of avocado, a little chopped tomato, onion, and the perfect amount of cilantro and lime juice. No distracting spices. Not too salty or creamy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/06/IMG_5024.jpg\" alt=\"guacamole\" title=\"guacamole\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14422\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now to get down to business, I'm actually a little embarrassed to admit what I love to order at Las Camelias. It's a salad, possibly the lamest thing to order at a Mexican restaurant known for their spicy moles, incredible tamales, and slow cooked enchiladas. But this salad is a combination of many of my favorite things in the world: They start with lettuce and shredded organic chicken and throw in shredded cabbage and carrots, rice, cheese, guacamole, tortilla chips, and finish it off with a subtle sweet and sour dressing. It's pure magic, really and it's so filling that I generally bring leftovers home for lunch the next day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/06/IMG_5032.jpg\" alt=\"Arroz Con Pollo Salad\" title=\"Arroz Con Pollo Salad\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Arroz Con Pollo Salad\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My second favorite thing to order at Las Camelias are the Enchiladas Diablo Con Pollo. One reason I love ordering them is because the waitstaff sizes you up when you declare you'd like them. They try and measure your spice tenacity and have, on a few occasions, tried to talk me out of them. \u003cem>Are you sure? Very spicy, ok?\u003c/em> And truthfully, they are certainly spicy but not unbearably so. There's a lot of layered flavors in the sauce and warm spices, but nothing that'll send you grabbing for your neighbors water glass. What I truly love about these enchiladas is how they're stuffed full of Rocky Junior chicken and spicy diablo sauce and little else. No big globs of cheese or unnecessary fillers. And Las Camelias serves most dishes with their famous white refried beans. I actually have friends that come here just for the beans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/06/IMG_50301.jpg\" alt=\"steak fajitas\" title=\"steak fajitas\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14425\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Spicy steak fajitas: notice those white beans!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I first started coming to Las Camelias I was a vegetarian and I was addicted to the Vegetarian Combination Platter. It comes with a huge poblano chile filled with caramelized onions and simmered in a light sour cream sauce with corn and zucchini. This is basically the perfect food on a foggy Bay Area evening. But wait. There's also the tamale with chayote and potatoes. And last, the crispy vegetarian burrito, all served with black beans and ancho chile sauce. It may be vegetarian, but it's very far from light--you get a little taste of many things they're known for and my meat-eating friends would always look on with envy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while Gabriel Fregoso is dealing with some tough competition across the street, I'm certain that Las Camelias is not going anywhere. The food is the real deal, the atmosphere is date-worthy while still maintaining a laid-back and comfortable vibe, and the waitstaff is gracious and attentive.
