San Francisco restaurant notables were asked to sum up the year of 2009 in one word, in the spirit of the year’s end. They all came up with some pretty interesting responses. Here they are:
Sarah Sung, UrbanDaddy: “Mobility”
Thomas Keller, The French Laundry: “Challenging”
Brock Keeling, SFist: “Fetishistic”
Ryan Farr, 4505 Meats: “Out with the old, in with the new” (umm….not one word, but okay)
James Oseland, Saveur: “Eh.”
Anna Weinberg, South: “Recessed”
Rajat Parr, RN74: “Brilliant”
Jessica Battilana, 7×7: “Listless”
Joe Hargrave, Tacolicious: “Lingering”
Christopher Kostow, Meadowood: “Cautious”
Nish Nadaraja, Yelp: “Mobile”
Brett Emerson, Contigo: “Locavore.” (because the movement towards buying locally raised foods keeps on building momentum. and it seemed to reach its tipping point this year)
Jan Newberry, San Francisco Magazine: “Streetfoodbaconbutcher” (Sure.)
Bruce Hill, Picco/Bix: “Scary” (we agree)
Lissa Doumani, Terra/Ame: “Vertigo”
Lucchesi: “Sandwiched”
