Lazy Bear Unveils The Lazy Bear Den with New Wine and A La Carte Menus | Eater SF

"At the Mission’s two-Michelin-starred, famously ticketed Lazy Bear, I can now experience a new late-night option called the Lazy Bear Den, launching December 1 in the upstairs, midcentury cabin–inspired mezzanine. A key attraction is a massive new wine list presented in a red, cloth-bound, vintage-looking book: chef David Barzelay and beverage director Matthew Dulle spent two years building the restaurant’s cellar to more than 1,000 wines, including a mix of historic Californian bottles — more than 60 labels from Ridge Vineyards — and selections from lesser-known regions. While all guests can chat with a sommelier and marvel at the list, the Den makes the wines more accessible; starting at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday it will offer a new à la carte menu with in-theme snacks like bison jerk and trail mix and a section devoted to custom-made, table-side grills for diners to cook their own salmon skewers, s'mores, and other bites over live oak coals. Reservations should go live in mid-November." - Janelle Bitker
