FOOD & WINE Ever wonder why you are always hungry during your Pilates session? It is because clients are forever talking about the newest restaurants! Thanks to the following four clients you will be chatting even more (but not with your mouths full please!) Lindsay Tusk is busy planning the design for the new Quince restaurant. She expects to open in the new location at 470 Pacific by the end of the year. Prepare yourself for elegance and an amazing dining experience! For those of you who are more casual, get excited about the cafe connected to the restaurant. Lindsay mentioned a string of descriptions which included lunch, brunch, pizza, open on weekends. Please note: your Pilates instructor might not have pull anymore to get you in at the last minute so book well in advance. Dade Thieriot, owner of Dee Vine Wines, is hosting a 2007 German Riesling tasting at his shop located at Pier 19 on the Embarcadero. 2007 was the longest growing season on record in Germany. There was plenty of photosynthesis for high sugar levels and cool weather for balancing acidity. Those with experience are comparing 2007 to 1971. In addition to the wines, a selection of artisanal cheese will be served. The tasting is informal, educational and most of all fun! The fee for the tasting is $25 ($20 if you bring your own glass). RSVP to otto@dvw.com or for more information about Dee Vine Wines go to www.dvw.com Saandra Nazzal of Burger Joint infamy, will infuse her energy and warm personality into their newest location in Burlingame located at 1401 Burlingame Avenue @ Primose. This location opens on the heels of another recently opened Burger Joint at 242 King Street in San Francisco. For those of you who are veggies, please note veggie burgers are cooked on a separate grill from the Neiman Ranch burgers. Not feeling like burgers? Try the french fries which are made from fresh cut potatoes and fried in peanut oil or a milkshake made with whole milk and Double Rainbow Ice Cream. Be sure you come to your workout after this meal. Traci Higgins, chef and owner of Dining In, expands her empire to include a new, healthy take out store called Lilah Belle's located at 3801 18th Street @Church. Experience fresh, seasonal and well-balanced meals seven days a week. The weekly selection will include hot entrees under 500 calories, fresh salads, sandwiches, vegetables a la carte and mouth watering desserts under 300 calories.
