Ghetto Gourmet SF: Valentine's 2007


Josh Lanthier-Welch, our esteemed emcee, led the show while Chef Cynthia Washburn rocked it in the kitchen with her band of gourmettes (Stratus, Christina, Larissa, Carver, Jeni, Fred and Sarah). Again, a shout out to Jen Greene, who let us crash for a last hurrah before she and her housemates move out of this beautiful Victorian, and Leila, our beautiful belly-dancer!



Diners rated the dishes and here’s what topped the list: (1) lamb and prune kabobs (knocking the socks off even non-prune eaters) and (2) soft cheese on pistachio dust with lavender honey, nuts and apples. The chickpea parsnip stew rated a 4 (one even said “to die for”) but some agreed that the texture was a bit rough.

I’ve got a spa dinner featuring local beauty divas recently featured in DailyCandy.com on March 3 and an Iron Chef (a Ghetto Gourmet favorite) on March 11.

Pictures are up on Flickr and if you took some, please let me know how to link up with you on Flickr. http://flickr.com/photos/vdevera/sets/72157594537777505/

Ghetto Gourmet on Chicago Fox News

Renegade Restaurant

This reporter is such a cheeseball, but I appreciate his lightheartedness in showing the unfamiliar what goes on behind the scenes (grease fires and good times, oh my!) at Ghetto Gourmet.
