The Cook and Her Farmer

On the Grid : The Cook and Her Farmer

"This cafe, oyster and wine bar prides itself on “gathering around the table for honest foods”. So since we’re being honest, it’s freaking delicious. We highly recommend “Oakland’s own Po’ Boy”, if not for the name then definitely for the tangy spread, cornmeal fried oysters and unique garnishes (an olive, a dandelion and stack of pickles). The best part is that you may be served by the cook herself. Can’t get more homey than that." - Pitch Interactive

Best Things to Eat and Drink at Oakland Food Hall Swan’s Market | Eater SF

"Romney Steele and Steven Day combine organic seasonal produce from local farms with Southern flavors—fresh-shucked Tomales Bay oysters with briny mignonette shine on the menu (and get fried with cornmeal for a giant oyster po’boy topped with Memphis-style slaw), while the showstopper Big Sur Melt layers Fontal, Gruyère, and dry jack cheese studded with shrimp, where sweet shellfish balance the cheese’s gooey, salty richness." - Maria C.
