Bicoastal mega-chef Sachin Chopra (who racked up time at Sakoon, Mantra, Amber India, Daniel and others) steps out on his own at All Spice, a vibrantly decorated converted Victorian in San Mateo where Chopra fuses contemporary mainstream fine dining with Indian flavors and techniques; as the name suggests, spices abound, gracing everything from various room names to the moderately priced dinner entrees to the quirky, rotating slate of housemade ice creams (think basil yuzu or lemon thyme with roasted garlic).

Four Loko may have been responsible for shuttering Eddie Huang’s Xiao Ye, but that hasn’t stopped the black-market sale of the now illegal malt-beverage. And who would want to sell the stuff for a markup of about $8 a can? The usual purveyors of black-market goods – people on Craigslist and NYU students. We found a few ads on the online classifieds that listed the cans as “collectibles.” Um, we didn’t realize people like to collect hangovers. Also, a source at NYU reports that a number of students purchased the …

Sorry, but I have a banana guard and it’s great. I run to work so everything gets shoved into my backpack. I endure a lot of jokes in the changeroom at the gym, and even my husband thought it was crazy…but he tried it and now we have two in our gadget drawer at home.

After the glow of holiday gift-giving wears off, and you’re left staring in disbelief at your depleted bank account, any kind of discount is sure to ease the pain, no? So the timing of the 10th annual Dine Around Town, offering savings on dining from January 15–31, couldn’t be better. More than 100 restaurants will be running special two-course prix fixe lunches ($17.95) and three-course dinners ($34.95) along with their regular menus.
The list of participants is pretty broad, including power spots Luce, Spruce, Townhall and Waterbar; see-and-be-seen …

Finding a holiday gift can be difficult, especially for your picky foodie friends. And it doesn’t help that for every quality knife set, there’s a Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill. We decided to round up some of the food-related gifts you might want to think twice about before buying:
Banana Case: The only reason anyone has ever carried one of these around is because he or she didn’t want to offend the present-giver. Or to hide drugs ($9.25).

We’re all used to top 10 lists at this time of year, so how about a look back at the best Twitter chatter? Metromix rounds up the best tweets sent by chefs in 2010. What do we learn from all of this? Chefs love to make psychotic threats online just like everyone else. Also – food personalities like to over-share (c.f. @GaelGreene’s comment on necking with her husband). Plus, @nateappleman really, really doesn’t like pretentious restaurants. Check out the full list here.
