The James Beard awards (aka “the Oscars of the food world”) were good to San Francisco this year. Craig Stoll of Delfina was named the best chef in California and Hawaii and the owners of Tartine were named the best pastry chefs or bakers in America. Mmmmm … both so good and both of them are in the Mission. Imagine that.

FYI: if you have not been to Delfina’s pizzaria you have not fulfilled your mission here on earth.
