Now, don't get me wrong. I love Zuni. But, the dessert my friends were served a couple of weeks ago is pretty shocking. The dessert menu said a Blossom Bluff nectarine for $8. A plate came out, with exactly what they ordered - just a plain nectarine rolling around on the plate. Now, I love Zuni's ethos of simplicity in flavors and cooking, but I think this is taking it a little far!!! It seems like a joke but is not.

Getting in on the bashing action was David Chang, chef of NYC's Momofuku. During a discussion with Bourdain at the food fest, Chang shared his culinary conspiracy theory. "I will call bulls*** on San Francisco. There's only a handful of restaurants that are manipulating food ... f***ing every restaurant in San Francisco is serving figs on a plate with nothing on it." (OK, if anyone knows who's carrying said fig dish, please let us know. And, really, is fruit on a platter any worse than tartar in a spoon?) The fig remark apparently did not sit well with the Northern California chapter of the Asia Society. It canceled an SF event to promote Chang's new book. And the fig fallout did not sit well with Chang. "Why would people get upset? I'm not gonna retract what I said. I think everybody needs to chill out. People need to smoke more marijuana in San Francisco." Read the SF Weekly interview here. SF diners have not been spared, either. Nate Appleman, who left SF for NYC in July, told the... more... - Dh'ennis Dömingö from Bookmarklet

was all just a fad,” said Jeff Rudes, a founder of the hot-denim-label-du-jour J Brand Jeans and an astute observer of the suspiciously inflated prices of fashion’s most eternally reinvented staple. Like any commodity that becomes overpriced, there eventually comes a market correction. And denim’s day of reckoning was long overdue. “The floors at most of the major stores were so overassorted that they almost looked like Loehmann’s,” Mr. Rudes said. “They were just cramming jeans onto the racks. - Dh'ennis Dömingö from Bookmarklet

A coyote struck by a fast-moving car near the Nevada-Utah border apparently became trapped by the vehicle's grill and rode for several hours all the way west to the foothills east of Sacramento. This coyote apparently got hit by a Honda and trapped in the front of the car. The wily critter was trapped and taken to the Penn Valley-based Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release center, where it later managed to escape from a kennel. It hasn't been seen since, rehabilitation center volunteer Jan Crowell said Monday. - Dh'ennis Dömingö from Bookmarklet

For the fourth time, the French Laundry is the only three star restaurant in our midst. According to the famously anonymous web site, there have only been 71 restaurants worldwide in the history of the 110-year-old publication to have earned that distinction. This year there are four two-star restaurants returning from last year; the Bay Area lost two and there were no new additions in the 2010 guide. Off the list is Aqua, which is understandable given that chef Laurent Manrique left the job and the family that owns the place is feuding; the other is Michael Mina, demoted to one star. My last meal there was superb, but in the restaurant business you're only as good as your last meal. That means the remaining two stars are Coi, Cyrus in Healdsburg, Manresa Los Gatos and the Restaurant at Meadowood in St. Helena. The one-star category is the most interesting. Last year there were 25; this year there are 34, with two Napa Valley places dropped from the ranking: Bistro Jeanty, which isn't... more... - Dh'ennis Dömingö from Bookmarklet

Problem: Whitewashed high-waisted jeans aren’t just dorky—they also emphasize all the wrong parts of your body. - Dh'ennis Dömingö from Bookmarklet

Patzer takes the audience (and now you) from the beginning of Mint, and gives some incredibly useful device. He talks about the early days of Mint, where he lived on $30,000/yr and hired engineers at just a little more salary by offering them significant equity. He also says that, as a rule of thumb, every engineer in a pre-revenue startup adds $500,000 in valuation. Every business guy lowers the valuation by $250,000, he half jokingly quipped. In its earliest days, Mint was burning $150,000/year, he says, for 2 founders and 1 engineer/contractor. - Dh'ennis Dömingö from Bookmarklet

Such chip-based cards — commonly referred to as chip-and-PIN cards because users punch in a personal identification number instead of signing for the purchase — offer an extra layer of protection against the theft of cardholder data and counterfeiting, and they are designed to replace magnetic stripe technology and signature payments. - Dh'ennis Dömingö from Bookmarklet

But Shana Rampersad doesn't have to parse data to know that crossovers are becoming the vehicle of choice for families. She just looks around her suburban neighborhood. "Everyone's driving a crossover; you don't really see many minivans," she said. "They're not the cool car for moms to drive anymore."

Dear parents: If cool is what you're after, see about a pre-oil-shock full-size American station wagon. Bonus points for something European, esp French. Otherwise shut up and embrace the appliance-ness of modern rides. - Richard Chen

Games have long played a role in classrooms, but next month marks the launch of the first U.S. public school curriculum based entirely on game-inspired learning. Select sixth graders can look forward to playing video games such as "Little Big Planet" and "Civilization," as well as non-digital games ranging from role-playing scenarios to board games and card games. But this goes beyond guiding your virtual settlers in "Oregon Trail" during classroom free time. The Quest to Learn (Q2L) school, based in Manhattan, hopes its guided approach can help students take on the role of explorers, mathematicians, historians, writers and evolutionary biologists. "It is important to note that Quest is not a school where children spend their day playing commercial videogames," says the Q2L website. A look at the school's curriculum confirms a far more ambitious and hands-on approach to education -- after all, the school does abide by New York State education standards. The 20 to 25 students in each... more... - Dh'ennis Dömingö from Bookmarklet
