city of chefs
Underscoring the diversity and
innovation of the community, the
husband-and-wife team of Sachin
Chopra and Shoshana Wolff has
transformed a 1906 Victorian house
into All Spice, a pioneering dining
destination that showcases evocative New American Cuisine. Chopra
stretches beyond his classical training
to create elegantly composed dishes
that subtly hint at Indian, Japanese,
Norwegian, Mediterranean, and other worldly influences, (consider the
cashew-coconut braised beef short
rib) resulting in a unique cuisine with
its own distinctive point of view.
And don’t worry—there are plenty
of ways to satisfy your sweet tooth.
For example, stop by Sibby’s Cupcakery to pick up custom cupcakes made
the old-fashioned way. All of their
creations are baked to order from
scratch using only the finest ingredients, including fresh eggs, sweet
cream butter from local dairy farms,
Scharffen Berger chocolate, and
Nielsen-Massey pure Madagascar
Bourbon vanilla.
What makes it even better is that
visitors to California are realizing
that in addition to its amazing cuisine,
San Mateo has a lot to offer—fabulous
weather (think sunny and mild most
of the time), the San Francisco Bay
to the east and the Pacific Ocean to
the west, historic neighborhoods, an
award-winning Central Park, and the
Hillsdale Shopping Center featuring
quality stores as Nordstrom’s, Macy’s
and H&M.
San Mateo invites you to experience the freshness and diversity of
its community. Just minutes from
the San Francisco International Airport, with three Caltrain stations and
easily accessible by three major freeways, San Mateo is the perfect place
to experience the best of California’s
creative side. -Nancy Griffin-Bonnaire
