Chez Maeju opens on Claremont Avenue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At Chez Maeju, Soojin Kim lacquers grilled mackerel in a thick gochujang glaze. Every pore of that oily white fish flesh absorbs the red chili paste that, when heated, takes on the qualities of a delightfully gooey caramel. The skin, and maybe a couple of tiny white bones, crackle in one’s mouth for a quick couple of seconds before the sweet and spicy flavors begin to meld together. A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, Kim notes on the restaurant’s website that maeju is “where Korean fermentation begin
Margaret Cho takes on Trump (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Jan. 20, 2026, the White House posted a press release with the dubious headline: “365 WINS IN 365 DAYS: President Trump’s Return Marks New Era of Success, Prosperity.” For some Americans, each one of those “wins” felt more like “Failure, Despair.” One way to cope with the daily news is to bury one’s head, ostrich-like, in extreme forms of escapism. Another approach is to mock Washington, D.C.’s, current administration—manned by meat puppets—with a pointed sense of humor. In Margaret Cho’s new
Divan delivers uneven Turkish cuisine (opens the original)

In the fast-food economy, falafel wraps are now as ubiquitous as cheeseburgers. That is to say their quality is wide-ranging. At $8 for pita bread or $13 for khobz hamam, one eats Shawarmaji’s on repeat because the chef adds a tahini salad made with diced tomatoes, cucumber and olive oil. Shawarmaji avoids the fatal misstep of most kitchens of serving overcooked falafel patties that eat dry as summer hay. Skimping on sauce, whether it’s yogurt, hummus or tahini, exacerbates the problem. Divan’s
Grand Opening Bakery draws dedicated weekend crowds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s not breaking news to acknowledge we live in a golden age of East Bay pop-ups. Pop-up bakeries in particular set up their temporary tables and stands almost every week, forming symbiotic mutually beneficial relationships with restaurants, cafes and specialty markets across the region. To bring in foot traffic, social media announcements include monthly schedules and photo previews of tempting menus. I’ve sampled baked goods from Oven Lovin’ at Bad Walter’s, Droo the Baker at Morningtide and
Maya Murchison-Turner reinvents Cal Burger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At Cal Burger & More, Maya “Yaya” Murchison-Turner smashes burgers in six different ways. The Classic melts American and jack cheese on top of seared beef. Onions, pickles, tomato, lettuce, mayo and a “Go Crazy” sauce complete the order. The craziness lands on more complicated smash burgers like the Mozza Ranch or the Smokehouse. But customers can still have it their way, too. Murchison-Turner describes herself as a “serial entrepreneur” with previous experience in PR and branding businesses. Ca
