LB Steak Menlo Park

I was excited to get the call to shoot for LB Steak in Menlo Park. The restaurant is now going to create burgers from their top of the line steak for lunch. Chef Kelsey Casavan impressed me with her innovative burger combos. I confidently tasted the barely seared Australian Wagu pictured below. Incredible flavor!

 

  

Frances's Melissa Perello has exciting plans for this spring

Exciting news for Frances fans: the popular San Francisco restaurant's Melissa Perello is opening a new restaurant in Lower Pacific Heights, to be named Octavia. I had the pleasure of shooting the Frances crew when Octavia was just a glimmer in Melissa's eye. I was intrigued to learn that Frances's kitchen was almost entirely female, which is a rare occurrence. Her sous chef Michaela Rahorst is stepping up to the plate at Frances as plans for the sister restaurant become a reality.
