New in Bay Ridge, David’s Brisket House. Second location for a once Jewish, now Muslim operation. Gets generally good reviews; I tried a brisket sandwich, found it pretty good, but not as flavorful or juicy as the genuine barbeque ones from that place in Connecticut.

Portlandia season 3 tonight 10 IFC
#1 Chez Panise (100% perfecto)
#2 Nopalito (new to me and stellar, from the Nopa people, will never not go if I am in SF, sensational)
#3 Slanted Door (better than last time)
Zuni very good as usual but will skip it next time, Moss Room was very worthy for a Museum lunch (Slanted Door is the consultant),
Camino in Oakland very good but tried very little of the menu, Terroir fun for wine as you know, Bettle Nut tasty Malay food works in a pinch...
saw this in SF, did not know of it before...
This retrospective offers a revelatory, in-depth encounter with the work of Jay DeFeo (1929-1989), one of the most important and innovative artists of her generation, but one who until now has not been given her due. A quintessential San Francisco artist who rose to national prominence, DeFeo was at the center of a vibrant community of Bay Area artists, poets, and musicians in the 1950s. Although she is best known for her massive, visionary masterpiece The Rose (1958-66), DeFeo created an astoundingly diverse range of works; her unconventional approach to materials and her intensive, physical process make her a unique figure in postwar American art. Presenting close to 130 works, including collages, drawings, paintings, photographs, small sculptures, and jewelry, this definitive exhibition traces DeFeo's distinctive vision across more than four decades of art making.
