Palette: Where Culinary Creations Collide with Design and Art
By David Landis–
When it comes to the quality of food at San Francisco’s restaurants, we’re pretty much #1 in America (maybe the world). We claim such top-name chefs as Alice Waters, Dominique Crenn, Tyler Florence, Annie Somerville, Thomas Keller, and more. And our culinary stake in the ground here not to mention all the James Beard awards regularly rewards us with top honors.
But restaurant design? Not so much. Sure, we have the wow aquarium factor at Waterbar; the floating jellyfish chandeliers at the erstwhile Farallon; and (in the bar department), the wacky, tiki vision of Zombie Village.
