In the tiny town of Troy, Idaho, Barb and Doug Garrott have spent the past three years perfecting a machine that could change the morning routines of coffee drinkers all over the country: a $175 hand-cranked coffee grinder.
It's called the Lido 2, the first run of 500 has already sold out on preorder, and coffee aficionados are asking for more.
Before you spit that cup of coffee all over your screen, consider this: Single cups of pour-over coffee, brewed with nothing but hot water and a paper filter, are replacing shots of espresso as the gold standard of the gourmet coffee world.
People in pursuit of the perfect cup of Joe no longer need to spend thousands of dollars on an espresso machine to brew like a pro. That shift has given rise to a new wave of high-end home coffee lovers (and a wave of articles on the seemingly simple art of making a cup of regular coffee).

But even if good coffee is more accessible than ever, it's not quite as easy as getting good beans, a $10 drip cone and practicing your hot water pour. Without a good grinder to chop those single-origin beans into a consistent size, you might as well be brewing with your grandma's percolator.
Ask anyone in the coffee industry, and they'll tell you: The grinder is the unsung hero of the coffee process. Benjamin Brewer, Blue Bottle Coffee's director of quality control, says the switch from a "crummy" grinder to a more competent machine "totally makes a difference. It's like, oh, we can actually taste the coffee now!"
Making coffee is all about dissolving some of the roasted beans' flavor compounds — including the slightly bitter tang of caffeine — into hot water. Every brewing method is designed to pull out just the right amount. For espresso, that extraction happens when hot water passes through tightly packed, superfine grounds for just a few moments; for French press, when water steeps in coarse-ground beans for a few minutes.
But all of that depends on the coffee grounds being as close to uniform in size as possible. Once you introduce too many big chunks (known as "boulders" in grinder parlance) or tiny microparticles (dubbed "fines"), the extraction gets all out of whack.
The fines give up their flavor too fast, making for a bitter brew, and the boulders hardly give up anything at all, leaving your cup thin and sour. It's the same problem that occurs whenever you cook widely varying chunks of anything all together — potatoes in a pot of boiling water, for instance. The result will come out either cooked to oblivion or underdone.
The whirling blade grinder that most people have at home just doesn't cut it. The blade smashes coffee to smithereens, making boulders and fines all over the place. Instead, the coffee pros use burr grinders, which chew the beans up to a precise, consistent size by funneling them through a set of steel or ceramic teeth.
In other words, a good grinder can make all the difference between a cup of sludge and a rich, aromatic morning mug of Joe.
Which is exactly why the Garrotts set out to make an ideal hand grinder three years ago. "It started out as a winter project to stave off the boredom," Barb says.
She and Doug had been running a business called Orphan Espresso, selling repair parts for vintage espresso machines and old-timey wood-box coffee grinders. They'd found themselves disappointed with most of the hand grinders on the market, vintage and new. So, they figured, they might as well make one themselves.
Since their first machine debuted in 2011, they've sold over 1,500 grinders, mostly to the self-selecting coffee obsessives on forums like Home Barista and CoffeeGeek. Each one was painstakingly put together by hand in the workshop next to their house. Now, with the Lido 2, they've gone through the hoops to mass manufacture their parts in Taiwan, but are still assembling their first run of 500 at home.
The $175 price tag comes from using professional-grade parts, cast metal construction and lots of attention to detail. They also added adjustment mechanisms to stop the teeth from wobbling while crushing up beans. That means the grind is more regular, and more consistent, than many of the hand grinders on the market.
But why make, or buy, a hand grinder at all?
Simply put, they deliver the same quality as motorized machines at a fraction of the cost. There are other hand grinders that are even cheaper than the Lido 2, such as the Hario Slim ($50) and Porlex Mini ($7). But die-hard coffee lovers contend that with sub-$100 models, you'll have problems with inconsistent grinds.
Joshua Viau, a regular Home Barista contributor, says the appeal of the Lido 2 and other serious hand grinders goes beyond mechanics.
"You taste differences in the cup, but it's more than that. These feel like tools, like something that lasts." Grinding every morning, he says, "you form a bond with it."

Burgers take no more than a few seconds on each side.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/SqU0rTRVotw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/SqU0rTRVotw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\"You can't regulate the heat,\" Holzer says. \"It's either 'hot as a tealight' or no heat at all.\" Luckily, the crew is quick with their tiny spatulas and ladles — utensils that are often not much bigger than a fingernail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But size discrepancies are unavoidable when dealing with real food. That quail egg, for example, is the same size as the mixing bowl. An early episode, in which\u003cem> Tiny Kitchen\u003c/em> made bananas Foster, starts by showing a tiny knife chopping into an entire banana. Were this kitchen scaled back to full size, that banana would be at least as tall as a basketball player. To cut out doughnut holes, \u003cem>Tiny Kitchen\u003c/em> had to use part of a soda straw — but that still towered over the individual doughnuts.

Once the reader has mastered the basic sourdough loaf, Baker uses similar techniques and ratios to teach flavored breads, pizzas, and whole-grain, rye, kamut, and spelt loaves. He also shares the recipes for his popular fiber-crammed and gluten-free \"Adventure Loaf\" (recipe below), cornbread, chocolate-chip cookies, fruit crumble, and a roommate's long-soaked \"overnight oats\" porridge. Time (lots of it) and soaking (for seeds, nuts, dried fruits and grains) are the backbones of Baker's baking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much like the sourdough starter he espouses, a little of Baker's dude-ish enthusiasm can go a long way, depending on your age, attitude and how much time you're spending getting ready for Burning Man this summer. Spend a few minutes scrolling though Baker's blog, though, and it's clear that the voice and tone of the book is sincerely his. Baker is a surfin', bakin', lovin' dude through and through, down to the naked jumping-in-a-river back view that he's proudly posted on his blog's home page. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes it's funny.\"Who doesn't like cinnamon raisin toast?\" he writes in the headnote for Cinnamon Raisin Bread. \"Jerks, that's who.\" Sometimes it's just a little much, as when he coos, half-ironically, \"But I really love me a hearth loaf. (That just sounds so sexy, doesn't it? Say it out loud: \u003cem>hearth loaf\u003c/em>. So liberated, so rustic, so pure).\" And repeating the same Food Network-style catchphrases in every recipe--\"Let the magic happen\" for rising, \"That's a very good question!\" underlined in red for every trouble-shooting query--gets old fast. There's also some needless padding, like a layout that starts every recipe with \"Gather your foodstuffs and tools,\" and the long, unmeasured list of required \"foodstuffs\" that's listed up front and adds an extra page to every recipe. (The ingredients, in their precise measurements, are repeated in easy-to-read tables within the recipes themselves.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how are the breads? Anyone with a bag of flour and a packet of yeast can turn out a comforting, toastable loaf of sandwich bread. (Enter the bread machine.) But making really good bread takes both technique and time. Turning out bread with both a crunchy, crackly crust and a moist, air-hole-riddled interior--the sort of bread we're lucky enough to take for granted here in the Bay Area, home of so many fabulous artisan bakeries--takes a lot more attention and a more refined skill set. There's no getting around those facts, no matter how much Baker insists that his bread recipes are easily adjustable. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each stage takes only a very small amount of hands-on time, it's true, but you do have to have the leisure, luxury, or flexibility to be around for these multiple stages, even if you're only spending a few minutes each time. Let's break it down: First there's the sourdough making, a 2-week building process. Then the pre-ferment (12 hours), the mixing and dough hydration (1 hour), the kneading and resting (4 times, spread out over 2 hours in 30-min intervals), the 2 or 3 hour bulk rise (2 to 3 hours), the pre-shape and resting (15 minutes), the final shaping and rising (3 to 4 hours), the baking (45 minutes) and the cooling (2 to 3 hours). This is bread baking for those with 24 hours to dedicate to making bread. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By no means is this a criticism of Baker's technique; dough is a living thing and making bread requires natural chemical processes that don't benefit from being rushed. Bread risen fast can taste harshly of the commercial yeast it's made from, while slow-risen, naturally leavened breads share the mellow flavor of their grains. But it can take some close reading to realize just how slow a process making these breads can be. Baker, in his enthusiasm, doesn't really lay out the timing beforehand, although he does scale each recipe's ingredients for 1, 2 and 4 loaves in a handy chart. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who think of Baker as simply the \"hipster toast guy,\" this book should be a cautionary tale for anyone hoping to start a small perishable food business, especially those used to the regular comfort of tech-sized paychecks. At least in writing, Baker takes a wide-eyed, aw-shucks attitude towards his current success, acting stunned each time his loaves find a new level of popularity, from neighbors offering to pay for the \"free bread\" he'd been passing around, to strangers signing up for his \"Community Supported Bread\" program after Daily Candy wrote a story about it, to the local businesses, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.missionpie.com\">Mission Pie\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.pizzaiolooakland.com/\">Pizzaiolo\u003c/a>, who helped him grow his itinerant bakery by providing commercial baking space. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also took building a helping-hands community of friends and colleagues willing to share their time, space, expertise, and, in the case of Pizzaiolo owner Charlie Hallowell, even a couch, where Baker would crash during the wee hours while his dough rose in the restaurant nearby. Baker never complains--in fact, he's thrilled that doing what he loves has actually become a business--but he also doesn't play down the immense amounts of sheer physical work it took for him as a one-man operation to learn and make quality bread for sale, day in and day out, including huge amounts of driving, hauling, and up-and-down-the-stairs moving of bag after bag of flours, seeds, starters, equipment and more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In describing how he came up with the small single-size loaves he calls \"pocketbreads\" (not pitas, but small, round sourdough loaves baked in muffin pans), he explains how he was losing sales to people who \"weren't looking for the commitment of an entire loaf.\" At that point, baking in a spare corner of the kitchen at Mission Pie, the bread was so labor-intensive that he needed to sell every bit he made. As he writes, \"So I started taking 10 or 15 pounds of my bread dough, tossing stuff in, shaping it into tiny loaves, and seeing how people liked them. Pocketbreads were a big deal for my budding bread business. Some days I sold 75 of those little suckers, at $2 a pop. That was big for me at the time, scraping by as I was. It meant another couple hundred bucks a week, and it meant I could keep diving deeper into bread.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erin Kunkel's photographs are beautifully appetite-whetting, and work hard to make bread sexy (mmmm, drip that honey...). Gorgeous as they are, though, they often leave holes when it comes to illustrating the recipes step by step. Certain key steps, like the stretch-and-fold techniques used for kneading and shaping, are described but not photographed, which could be a drawback for those who haven't seen these less familiar techniques demonstrated in person. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Baker's chattiness and his need to anxiously reassure his readers that, really, anybody can do this and bread-baking isn't as hard as you think can get in the way of necessary detail. The Sesame Bread recipe starts with a whole-wheat pre-ferment of whole wheat flour, water, and a small amount of yeast. This rough, batter-like dough rises for 12 hours, and then the reader is instructed to simply mix in the next ingredients--bread flour, sesame seeds, water, salt. But what I got was a white dough ribboned like marble cake with brown whole-wheat pre-ferment, a unhomogenized mixture that needs serious beating to blend. Based on experience with other bread books, I realized it would have made much more sense to break the pre-ferment down in water like a batter, then expand it bit by bit with white flour to make a smooth dough. The explanations for stretching and turning the dough--a gentler version of kneading that works better for the slack, slow-risen doughs used here--could also use more clarification. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Baker does his best to get novice bakers excited about the prospect of turning out serious bread. There are useful tips, like the need for pre-soaking seeds before adding (otherwise, they'll suck up excess moisture in the dough, resulting in a dry loaf), and the ways that rye, spelt and kamut flours act differently from wheat. (I also plan to adopt his DIY baker's blade--a sharpened popsicle stick slid through the holes of a double-edged razor blade--as soon as possible, since a regular knife blade invariably sticks and tears with every attempt to slash through the top of a jiggly risen pillow of dough.) If you can handle the tone, Baker offers a lot of useful information here, without getting either as precise or technical as Robertson. While Robertson seems dubious that anyone but a fellow obsessive can master his meticulous and beautiful breads, Baker can't wait to share the joy he finds in all things bread-related. He's convinced that anyone--that means you, baker!--can make a sexy loaf, given a handful of techniques and a bread-dedicated 24 hours or so. Go ye forth, dude, and bake. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.penroseoakland.com/\">Penrose Restaurant\u003c/a> will be featuring a special menu and booksigning for Josey Baker Bread on June 6, 5:30-10:30pm.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82824\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 700px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Josey-Baker-Bread_Adventure-Bread700.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Josey-Baker-Bread_Adventure-Bread700.jpg\" alt=\"Josey Baker Adventure Bread.

That’s what this bread is for. But that’s not all it is for . . . it’s also gluten-free! That will either entice you or turn you off, but either way I really hope that you give it a shot because it is incredible, and it is suuuper healthy. It’s unlike any other bread in this book, in that there isn’t even any flour in it, and it isn’t fermented—it’s basically just a bunch of seeds held together with a little bit of psyllium seed husk and chia seeds. I started making it in the bakery because we kept having folks come in and ask us for gluten-free bread, and I got tired of saying no. Up until we made this bread, I had mostly been turned off by gluten-free breads, because it seemed like they were all just trying to imitate wheat breads, and failing miserably. But this bread stands on its own—it is gluten-free and proud of it. Special thanks goes out to Sarah Britton, blogger at My New Roots; her recipe inspired this bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>2 1/4 cups (235 gms) rolled oats\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup (160 gms) sunflower seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup pumpkin seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup flax seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup (25 gm) psyllium seed husk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 tbsp chia seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp (12 gm) finely ground sea salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp maple syrup\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup olive oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 1/2 (600 gm) cups water\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Toast the seeds. Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C. Spread the sunflower and pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet and toast until they start to brown, about 15 minutes, stirring halfway between baking.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Measure ingredients. Dump dry stuff into a big bowl. Then pour in all the wet stuff.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mix it all up, scoop into pan. Oil a loaf pan (about 8\" x 4\", or 20cm x 10cm), and then mush up your “dough” real good with your strong hands or a big spoon. Take pride in your mush-job, this is all of the handling you’re going to do with this “dough.” Once it’s mixed real good, scoop it into your oiled pan and smooth out the top so it looks nice. Then stick that guy in the fridge and leave it alone for at least a few hours, up to a whole day.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bake it. Put a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400°F/200°C. Bake for about an hour or so, then take it out and gently remove the loaf from the pan. Let it cool on a cooling rack for at least 2 hours (YES, two whole hours). Don’t rush it here folks, this bread is D*E*N*S*E, and if you don’t wait for it to cool, it really won’t be as yummy.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Toast and eat. This bread is definitely best sliced nice and thin (around 1/2 inch/12 mm) and then toasted up and spread with whatever your heart desires. And don’t worry, if you’re adventuring somewhere without toaster access (like a gorgeous river in the middle of nowhere), it will still be scrumptious, I promise.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Love The Mill's fabulous toast?

While Robertson seems dubious that anyone but a fellow obsessive can master his meticulous and beautiful breads, Baker can't wait to share the joy he finds in all things bread-related. He's convinced that anyone--that means you, baker!--can make a sexy loaf, given a handful of techniques and a bread-dedicated 24 hours or so. Go ye forth, dude, and bake. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.penroseoakland.com/\">Penrose Restaurant\u003c/a> will be featuring a special menu and booksigning for Josey Baker Bread on June 6, 5:30-10:30pm.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82824\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 700px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Josey-Baker-Bread_Adventure-Bread700.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Josey-Baker-Bread_Adventure-Bread700.jpg\" alt=\"Josey Baker Adventure Bread.

That’s what this bread is for. But that’s not all it is for . . . it’s also gluten-free! That will either entice you or turn you off, but either way I really hope that you give it a shot because it is incredible, and it is suuuper healthy. It’s unlike any other bread in this book, in that there isn’t even any flour in it, and it isn’t fermented—it’s basically just a bunch of seeds held together with a little bit of psyllium seed husk and chia seeds. I started making it in the bakery because we kept having folks come in and ask us for gluten-free bread, and I got tired of saying no. Up until we made this bread, I had mostly been turned off by gluten-free breads, because it seemed like they were all just trying to imitate wheat breads, and failing miserably. But this bread stands on its own—it is gluten-free and proud of it. Special thanks goes out to Sarah Britton, blogger at My New Roots; her recipe inspired this bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>2 1/4 cups (235 gms) rolled oats\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup (160 gms) sunflower seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup pumpkin seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup flax seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup (25 gm) psyllium seed husk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 tbsp chia seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp (12 gm) finely ground sea salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp maple syrup\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup olive oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 1/2 (600 gm) cups water\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Toast the seeds. Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C. Spread the sunflower and pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet and toast until they start to brown, about 15 minutes, stirring halfway between baking.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Measure ingredients. Dump dry stuff into a big bowl. Then pour in all the wet stuff.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mix it all up, scoop into pan. Oil a loaf pan (about 8\" x 4\", or 20cm x 10cm), and then mush up your “dough” real good with your strong hands or a big spoon. Take pride in your mush-job, this is all of the handling you’re going to do with this “dough.” Once it’s mixed real good, scoop it into your oiled pan and smooth out the top so it looks nice. Then stick that guy in the fridge and leave it alone for at least a few hours, up to a whole day.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bake it. Put a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400°F/200°C. Bake for about an hour or so, then take it out and gently remove the loaf from the pan. Let it cool on a cooling rack for at least 2 hours (YES, two whole hours). Don’t rush it here folks, this bread is D*E*N*S*E, and if you don’t wait for it to cool, it really won’t be as yummy.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Toast and eat. This bread is definitely best sliced nice and thin (around 1/2 inch/12 mm) and then toasted up and spread with whatever your heart desires. And don’t worry, if you’re adventuring somewhere without toaster access (like a gorgeous river in the middle of nowhere), it will still be scrumptious, I promise.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/82723/josey-baker-bread-baking-for-bros-with-gluten-free-adventure-bread-recipe","authors":["5038"],"categories":["bayareabites_1516","bayareabites_109","bayareabites_752","bayareabites_2254","bayareabites_588","bayareabites_2695","bayareabites_1875","bayareabites_12"],"tags":["bayareabites_59","bayareabites_13430","bayareabites_138","bayareabites_13421","bayareabites_13422","bayareabites_9782"],"featImg":"bayareabites_82828","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_57632":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_57632","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"57632","found":true},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"san-francisco-wholesale-produce-market","title":"A Tour through the San Francisco Wholesale Produce Market","publishDate":1362511038,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>Mexican asparagus, young coconuts from Thailand, stiffly frilled kale and fuschia-stemmed chard grown in Winters or Watsonville, edible purple pansies babied in a backyard in Oakland: Do you ever think about how they get to the shelves of Mollie Stone’s, onto your $11 salad in the Marina, or your $18 pizza in the Mission? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer is down on this chilly, pre-dawn corner of Jerrold Avenue, where the moon, fat and round as a pomelo, is sinking behind the hodgepodge cluster of warehouses, coolers, and trucking bays that make up the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfproduce.org\">\u003cstrong>San Francisco Wholesale Produce Market\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>, stretched over old streetcar tracks, crisscrossing worn brick-lined streets in one of the city’s last rumbling, remaining districts of light industry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57783\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/CooksCo1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/CooksCo1000.jpg\" alt=\"Cook's Company\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57783\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cook's Company\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While you were sleeping or dancing, drinking or downloading, buyers from \u003ca href=\"http://www.biritemarket.com/\">Bi-Rite\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.canyonmarket.com/\">Canyon Market\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/good-life-grocery-san-francisco\">Good Life\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleybowl.com/\">Berkeley Bowl\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rainbow.coop/\">Rainbow Grocery\u003c/a> and hundreds of corner groceries and fresh produce stores all around the city spent the night's darkest hours in close communion with the food you’ll be eating today, judging and bargaining to get the best stuff at the cheapest price. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57784\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Grass1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Grass1000.jpg\" alt=\"Asparagus from Mexico\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57784\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asparagus from Mexico\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s a working market that’s been part of the city’s fabric since the early 1960s, when the old downtown produce market was razed to make room for what’s now the Embarcadero complex.

In its full swing at 2 or 3 in the morning, busy as a trading floor, the market exists to move product, this colorful money stacked up in the shape of snow peas and eggplants, radishes and apples. The daunting maze of trucks and loading bays is no place for sleepy civilians: Stand still for a moment, anywhere, and you’re bound to be in several someones’ way as they barrel past you, pushing a hand cart or maneuvering a forklift stacked high with boxes, filled with oversized red peppers from Mexico, big and shiny as shoes, or bristling bunches of parsley, dozens to a case. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57786\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Peppers1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Peppers1000.jpg\" alt=\"Oversized red peppers from Mexico\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57786\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oversized red peppers from Mexico\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If you have to be there, stay close to the sides of general manager Michael Janis and his colleague, business development representative Eddie Kapper.

At Cook’s Company and \u003ca href=\"http://www.greenleafsf.com/\">Greenleaf\u003c/a>, the boxes are smaller, the products—edible flowers, exotic mushrooms—daintier.

In a thick blue sweatshirt, hands sheathed in heavy rubber gloves, a worker scoops crushed ice like snow over waxy boxes lettered in red Chinese characters. Broccoli likes it cold. Too warm and the stems flop into rubber, once-tight blue-green florets yawning open into sunny yellow flowers no one will buy. Brassicas like these--Brussels sprouts, collards, kale, kohlrabi, broccoli--are the greens of winter. Cabbage will grow through snow. A good frost sweetens the kale crop, nature producing its own antifreeze in the leaves. Aphids, who love to huddle in these vegetables' nooks and crannies, can't survive the cold. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57781\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Broccoli1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Broccoli1000.jpg\" alt=\"Produce worker with boxes of broccoli\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57781\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Produce worker with boxes of broccoli\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Selling wholesale like this isn't for every farmer. Earl's owner Earl Herrick, just back from visiting an avocado and citrus grower in the Pauma Valley, lays out what a distributor needs: quality, consistency, and reliable supply. He liked the man's fruit, he says, but his avocados were too small, his grapefruits not heavy enough. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxes are packed and labeled by size, every piece inside graded to meet a certain standard. A 20-count peach is one size, a 16-count another. Don't try to mix them in the same box. Anything too small or too light risks getting the whole box \"kicked,\" or sent back on the truck to the farmer. There's also a matter of shelf life. Selling wholesale means the product has to last at least a week off the farm--a day or two for packing and shipping, another day or two on site at the warehouse, a day or two in the market, then however long the customer waits to use it once she gets it home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57782\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/CitrusSeason1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/CitrusSeason1000.jpg\" alt=\"Winter Produce at Earl's - Citrus Season\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57782\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Winter Produce at Earl's - Citrus Season\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Once, the market had bars, a hofbrau, a handful of restaurants. They’re gone now, swallowed up by the need for more space for vendors. Only the J&V remains, opening at one a.m., closing up by 10 a.m. Started by a couple of former produce workers, it's two businesses now, a café for market workers by night, a catering kitchen by day. By daybreak, even as the café empties out, the big back kitchen is in full swing busy prepping meals for businesses downtown. Order sheets for banks, tech firms and brokerages are taped to the wall. A man fills bowls with identical cubes of melon in tri-colored rows. A row of women stand making dozens of sandwiches, lining them up on plastic trays. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The market’s moving with the times. It’s just signed a new 60-year lease with the city. There are long-term, multi-million-dollar reinvestment and capital improvement plans in development, focusing on a complete overhaul and rebuilding of the vendor spaces, with a lot more room and more up-to-date, energy-efficient cooling facilities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the new \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-01-02/californias-newest-business-craze-homemade-food\">cottage food law\u003c/a> comes into effect, Kapper tells us how he hopes more small food businesses will see the market as a resource. Every day, says Eddie, he gets calls from people wanting to start up some kind of new business—niche caterers, jam or salsa makers, someone with a great idea for an herb salt or a juice-cleanse biz. He’ll talk to any potential new clients, walk them through, introduce them to the right vendors, try to get them what they need from the market. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's part of a vision of community revitalization for Earl Shaddix, too. A longtime member of the San Francisco professional food community as a chef and trainer for All-Clad Metalcrafters, Shaddix recently bought a house in Bayview, and wants to show residents of the community how they can take advantage of the market's offerings to start their own small food businesses. He hopes to start a series of free food-business classes for people in the surrounding neighborhoods. He'd also like to encourage food makers around the city to start renting their kitchen space in the southeastern end of the city, where commercial rents are still reasonable. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pushing brooms, men at the end of their shifts sweep wilted lettuce into green bins. (The market has one of the city’s highest levels of waste-diversion compliance, with a composting program for green waste and a recycling program for nearly everything else it uses, from cardboard and shrink wrap down to the tough plastic straps used to bundle stacks of boxes together.) At Whole Foods, at Safeway, the day’s produce is being arranged in green stacks, red pyramids, orange piles. The misting jets come on, hissing gently. On Jerrold Avenue, it’s quiet, until the sun goes down and the trucks arrive again, disgorging what will feed the city. \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Got food?

Stretched over 20 acres, it provides over 650 jobs, fills more than 300,000 square feet of warehouse space and moves millions of dollars of food from growers to distributors to buyers annually. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57788\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/VegDisplay1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/VegDisplay1000.jpg\" alt=\"Vegetable Display\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57788\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegetable Display\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And yet, few San Franciscans know of it. In its full swing at 2 or 3 in the morning, busy as a trading floor, the market exists to move product, this colorful money stacked up in the shape of snow peas and eggplants, radishes and apples. The daunting maze of trucks and loading bays is no place for sleepy civilians: Stand still for a moment, anywhere, and you’re bound to be in several someones’ way as they barrel past you, pushing a hand cart or maneuvering a forklift stacked high with boxes, filled with oversized red peppers from Mexico, big and shiny as shoes, or bristling bunches of parsley, dozens to a case. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57786\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Peppers1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Peppers1000.jpg\" alt=\"Oversized red peppers from Mexico\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57786\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oversized red peppers from Mexico\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If you have to be there, stay close to the sides of general manager Michael Janis and his colleague, business development representative Eddie Kapper. Genial, dedicated, fast-moving men, they slide through the market as if strolling through their offices, greeting workers by name, shaking hands with buyers. The market is made up of more than two dozen independent businesses, each with its own specialty, many still family run. There’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonvegetable.com/\">Washington Vegetable\u003c/a>, carrying a full line of vegetables but specializing in greens. \u003ca href=\"http://www.earlsorganic.com\">Earl’s Organic Produce\u003c/a>, in business since the 1970s, sells only organic produce from its spacious new warehouse, where the coolers are adjusted to the optimal needs of the produce: one cold and moist, another cold and dry. (Bananas long for one climate, Meyer lemons another.) \u003ca href=\"http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/\">Whole Foods\u003c/a> has its own huge warehouse here, which it has since outgrown; it’s moving to a new, dedicated distribution facility in Richmond soon.

At Cook’s Company and \u003ca href=\"http://www.greenleafsf.com/\">Greenleaf\u003c/a>, the boxes are smaller, the products—edible flowers, exotic mushrooms—daintier.

A trio of young men—caterers from the East Bay--are packing a black Mini Cooper with pillowcase-sized bags of greens until every inch is stuffed, a clown car of mizuna and tatsoi.

In a thick blue sweatshirt, hands sheathed in heavy rubber gloves, a worker scoops crushed ice like snow over waxy boxes lettered in red Chinese characters. Broccoli likes it cold. Too warm and the stems flop into rubber, once-tight blue-green florets yawning open into sunny yellow flowers no one will buy. Brassicas like these--Brussels sprouts, collards, kale, kohlrabi, broccoli--are the greens of winter. Cabbage will grow through snow. A good frost sweetens the kale crop, nature producing its own antifreeze in the leaves. Aphids, who love to huddle in these vegetables' nooks and crannies, can't survive the cold. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57781\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Broccoli1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Broccoli1000.jpg\" alt=\"Produce worker with boxes of broccoli\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57781\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Produce worker with boxes of broccoli\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Selling wholesale like this isn't for every farmer. Earl's owner Earl Herrick, just back from visiting an avocado and citrus grower in the Pauma Valley, lays out what a distributor needs: quality, consistency, and reliable supply. He liked the man's fruit, he says, but his avocados were too small, his grapefruits not heavy enough. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxes are packed and labeled by size, every piece inside graded to meet a certain standard. A 20-count peach is one size, a 16-count another. Don't try to mix them in the same box. Anything too small or too light risks getting the whole box \"kicked,\" or sent back on the truck to the farmer. There's also a matter of shelf life. Selling wholesale means the product has to last at least a week off the farm--a day or two for packing and shipping, another day or two on site at the warehouse, a day or two in the market, then however long the customer waits to use it once she gets it home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57782\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/CitrusSeason1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/CitrusSeason1000.jpg\" alt=\"Winter Produce at Earl's - Citrus Season\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57782\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Winter Produce at Earl's - Citrus Season\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Once, the market had bars, a hofbrau, a handful of restaurants. They’re gone now, swallowed up by the need for more space for vendors. Only the J&V remains, opening at one a.m., closing up by 10 a.m. Started by a couple of former produce workers, it's two businesses now, a café for market workers by night, a catering kitchen by day. By daybreak, even as the café empties out, the big back kitchen is in full swing busy prepping meals for businesses downtown. Order sheets for banks, tech firms and brokerages are taped to the wall. A man fills bowls with identical cubes of melon in tri-colored rows. A row of women stand making dozens of sandwiches, lining them up on plastic trays. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The market’s moving with the times. It’s just signed a new 60-year lease with the city. There are long-term, multi-million-dollar reinvestment and capital improvement plans in development, focusing on a complete overhaul and rebuilding of the vendor spaces, with a lot more room and more up-to-date, energy-efficient cooling facilities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the new \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-01-02/californias-newest-business-craze-homemade-food\">cottage food law\u003c/a> comes into effect, Kapper tells us how he hopes more small food businesses will see the market as a resource. Every day, says Eddie, he gets calls from people wanting to start up some kind of new business—niche caterers, jam or salsa makers, someone with a great idea for an herb salt or a juice-cleanse biz. He’ll talk to any potential new clients, walk them through, introduce them to the right vendors, try to get them what they need from the market. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's part of a vision of community revitalization for Earl Shaddix, too. A longtime member of the San Francisco professional food community as a chef and trainer for All-Clad Metalcrafters, Shaddix recently bought a house in Bayview, and wants to show residents of the community how they can take advantage of the market's offerings to start their own small food businesses. He hopes to start a series of free food-business classes for people in the surrounding neighborhoods. He'd also like to encourage food makers around the city to start renting their kitchen space in the southeastern end of the city, where commercial rents are still reasonable. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pushing brooms, men at the end of their shifts sweep wilted lettuce into green bins. (The market has one of the city’s highest levels of waste-diversion compliance, with a composting program for green waste and a recycling program for nearly everything else it uses, from cardboard and shrink wrap down to the tough plastic straps used to bundle stacks of boxes together.) At Whole Foods, at Safeway, the day’s produce is being arranged in green stacks, red pyramids, orange piles. The misting jets come on, hissing gently. On Jerrold Avenue, it’s quiet, until the sun goes down and the trucks arrive again, disgorging what will feed the city. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/57632/san-francisco-wholesale-produce-market","authors":["5038"],"categories":["bayareabites_109","bayareabites_752","bayareabites_2638","bayareabites_1874","bayareabites_1875","bayareabites_90","bayareabites_60"],"tags":["bayareabites_14453","bayareabites_16264","bayareabites_668","bayareabites_16250"],"featImg":"bayareabites_57791","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_3920":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_3920","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"3920","found":true},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"check-please-how-to-pay-without-looking-like-a-fool-or-making-everyone-uncomfortable","title":"Check, Please: How to Pay without looking like a fool or making everyone uncomfortable.","publishDate":1243008279,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>For most diners, paying one's bill at the finish of a restaurant meal is a simple, uncomplicated process, a no-brainer.

In a fine dining environment, when a server delivers the bill to a table, he or she will either place it nearest the host or hand it directly to him/her if the host reaches out for it, or place the bill in the center of the table if the host is not clearly certain (for example, if more than one person orders wine or food for the table as a whole). Typically, we assume that the person paying is the one who asks for the check. If that happens to be you, please proceed to step 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. When you are ready to make payment, place your credit card, cash, cowrie shells, or whatever method of payment is accepted inside the bill folder with just enough spilling out to indicate that you are ready to make payment. This is important. It is most likely (and hoped for) that your server will not be staring at you as you rifle through your wallet. When you have accomplished this feat, place the bill folder at the edge of the table next to you or, if you are seated in a booth, the end of the table nearest the server's approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I find it surprising how many people do not understand this small-but-important ritual. The folder could be stuffed with cash, but if it looks as though it has been both untouched and unmoved, it's not going anywhere. Servers are often expected to read the minds of guests, but I think they deserve a little help on this one. Please, make it obvious that you are ready to give payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. When the server hands you back your bill, sign it at your leisure, but when you are finished, please place it back on the edge of the table. Your server may then take it away. He (in most cases) is not taking it away out of greed, but rather to take care of the paperwork, especially if you have paid by credit card. Your bill must be closed with the proper paperwork. \u003cstrong>Read: the restaurant's copy of the credit card receipt.\u003c/strong> If, in your wine-soaked joy of the evening, you have accidentally pocketed the receipt (and we've all done it at least once, waiters included), the server might gently ask you for it as you leave. You might expect your server to guess what sort of wine you might like with your pork, but do you really expect him or her to guess the amount of gratuity you've left? I didn't think so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isn't that easy? Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now for a couple of other hints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've been Declined\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your credit card is declined, it is not necessarily your fault (credit card companies sometimes put a hold on cards on which an unusual amount of spending has occurred at any given time, etc.), but it definitely is not your server's. As a waiter, this can be remarkably painful. I worry that I am embarrassing one of my guests-- especially one of my guests who happens to be leaving me a tip. Any server worth his salt will just treat it (outwardly) that it's no big deal and, rather than say, \"I'm sorry, your card's been declined,\" will say something to the effect of, \"Excuse me, do you have another card? This one doesn't seem to be working.\" Unless I'm handed one of those black titanium American Express cards. Then I always give a little frown and tell them it's declined. The response is invariably one of, \"Uh huh. Sure it is.\" And then I go away and giggle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essentially, if you are planning on taking people out to dinner, have a back up payment method. If you see no reason your card should be declined, your server will be happy to make a call for you and look into it. Remain calm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fighting Over the Check\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most irritating things about waiting tables is guests fighting over the check. Suddenly, the food-and-alcohol-induced peace and harmony at the table is shattered by diners grabbing the checks and credit cards out of each others' hands in a seriously misguided effort to pay for the meal and be \"hospitable.\" Or they're just trying to play Alpha Dog. There is a certain ritual to this that must be followed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of your dining parters grabs the check and insists on paying. You then say, \"Oh, no, I just \u003cem>couldn't\u003c/em> let you do that.\" Then they counter with something like, \"But I'd really like to treat you to dinner tonight. Really, it would make me \u003cem>very\u003c/em> happy to do it!\" You are then supposed to respond with something to the effect of, \"Well... alright, if it will make you happy, but\u003cem> I'm\u003c/em> taking \u003cem>you\u003c/em> out next time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then you're done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do not, I repeat, \u003cstrong>do not\u003c/strong> drag the server into this. At my tables, I have in most cases been spending the previous two hours making sure that everyone in my charge is as comfortable and happy as possible. I am not there to referee. Taking sides is not in my economic interest. If I am approached privately by a member of a dining party who hands me his or her card and insists on paying, I will: a) run the credit card and hand back at the end of the meal, run and ready so that he or she is one step ahead of arguments, or b) if the card-giver is not the clear-cut host, I will hand the card back uncharged. To the host.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In extreme cases, when different people start shoving cards or check presenters in my face (it happens) saying everything but \"Pick me! Pick me!\" I am polite, but firm. And mildly, chidingly sarcastic. I tell the contenders something akin to, \"Oh, you're all just so \u003cem>wonderful\u003c/em> to want to pay for dinner, I wish I could pick \u003cem>all\u003c/em> of you!\" I then take a step back from the table, saying, \"I can't \u003cem>wait\u003c/em> to see who wins!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then I walk away.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":" For most diners, paying one's bill at the finish of a restaurant meal is a simple, uncomplicated process, a no-brainer.

Hopefully. Sadly, it isn't to everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here are a few handy tips on how to pay a restaurant bill with grace:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. In a fine dining environment, when a server delivers the bill to a table, he or she will either place it nearest the host or hand it directly to him/her if the host reaches out for it, or place the bill in the center of the table if the host is not clearly certain (for example, if more than one person orders wine or food for the table as a whole). Typically, we assume that the person paying is the one who asks for the check. If that happens to be you, please proceed to step 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. When you are ready to make payment, place your credit card, cash, cowrie shells, or whatever method of payment is accepted inside the bill folder with just enough spilling out to indicate that you are ready to make payment. This is important. It is most likely (and hoped for) that your server will not be staring at you as you rifle through your wallet. When you have accomplished this feat, place the bill folder at the edge of the table next to you or, if you are seated in a booth, the end of the table nearest the server's approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I find it surprising how many people do not understand this small-but-important ritual. The folder could be stuffed with cash, but if it looks as though it has been both untouched and unmoved, it's not going anywhere. Servers are often expected to read the minds of guests, but I think they deserve a little help on this one. Please, make it obvious that you are ready to give payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. When the server hands you back your bill, sign it at your leisure, but when you are finished, please place it back on the edge of the table. Your server may then take it away. He (in most cases) is not taking it away out of greed, but rather to take care of the paperwork, especially if you have paid by credit card. Your bill must be closed with the proper paperwork. \u003cstrong>Read: the restaurant's copy of the credit card receipt.\u003c/strong> If, in your wine-soaked joy of the evening, you have accidentally pocketed the receipt (and we've all done it at least once, waiters included), the server might gently ask you for it as you leave. You might expect your server to guess what sort of wine you might like with your pork, but do you really expect him or her to guess the amount of gratuity you've left? I didn't think so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isn't that easy? Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now for a couple of other hints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've been Declined\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your credit card is declined, it is not necessarily your fault (credit card companies sometimes put a hold on cards on which an unusual amount of spending has occurred at any given time, etc.), but it definitely is not your server's. As a waiter, this can be remarkably painful. I worry that I am embarrassing one of my guests-- especially one of my guests who happens to be leaving me a tip. Any server worth his salt will just treat it (outwardly) that it's no big deal and, rather than say, \"I'm sorry, your card's been declined,\" will say something to the effect of, \"Excuse me, do you have another card? This one doesn't seem to be working.\" Unless I'm handed one of those black titanium American Express cards. Then I always give a little frown and tell them it's declined. The response is invariably one of, \"Uh huh. Sure it is.\" And then I go away and giggle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essentially, if you are planning on taking people out to dinner, have a back up payment method. If you see no reason your card should be declined, your server will be happy to make a call for you and look into it. Remain calm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fighting Over the Check\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most irritating things about waiting tables is guests fighting over the check. Suddenly, the food-and-alcohol-induced peace and harmony at the table is shattered by diners grabbing the checks and credit cards out of each others' hands in a seriously misguided effort to pay for the meal and be \"hospitable.\" Or they're just trying to play Alpha Dog. There is a certain ritual to this that must be followed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of your dining parters grabs the check and insists on paying. You then say, \"Oh, no, I just \u003cem>couldn't\u003c/em> let you do that.\" Then they counter with something like, \"But I'd really like to treat you to dinner tonight. Really, it would make me \u003cem>very\u003c/em> happy to do it!\" You are then supposed to respond with something to the effect of, \"Well... alright, if it will make you happy, but\u003cem> I'm\u003c/em> taking \u003cem>you\u003c/em> out next time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then you're done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do not, I repeat, \u003cstrong>do not\u003c/strong> drag the server into this. At my tables, I have in most cases been spending the previous two hours making sure that everyone in my charge is as comfortable and happy as possible. I am not there to referee. Taking sides is not in my economic interest. If I am approached privately by a member of a dining party who hands me his or her card and insists on paying, I will: a) run the credit card and hand back at the end of the meal, run and ready so that he or she is one step ahead of arguments, or b) if the card-giver is not the clear-cut host, I will hand the card back uncharged. To the host.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In extreme cases, when different people start shoving cards or check presenters in my face (it happens) saying everything but \"Pick me! Pick me!\" I am polite, but firm. And mildly, chidingly sarcastic. I tell the contenders something akin to, \"Oh, you're all just so \u003cem>wonderful\u003c/em> to want to pay for dinner, I wish I could pick \u003cem>all\u003c/em> of you!\" I then take a step back from the table, saying, \"I can't \u003cem>wait\u003c/em> to see who wins!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then I walk away.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/3920/check-please-how-to-pay-without-looking-like-a-fool-or-making-everyone-uncomfortable","authors":["5017"],"categories":["bayareabites_752","bayareabites_1146"],"tags":["bayareabites_666","bayareabites_2193","bayareabites_92"],"featImg":"bayareabites_3921","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_79621":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_79621","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"79621","found":true},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"the-search-for-the-perfect-cup-of-coffee-can-be-such-a-grinder","title":"The Search For The Perfect Cup Of Coffee Can Be Such A Grind(er)","publishDate":1395958677,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_79622\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1674px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/orphespress-npr8-copy_wide-19ff3940f8c9e62fc49c1852cb8447f324a34273.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/orphespress-npr8-copy_wide-19ff3940f8c9e62fc49c1852cb8447f324a34273.jpg\" alt=\"Doug and Barb Garrott assemble a Lido 2 grinder at their home in Troy, Idaho.

It's like, oh, we can actually taste the coffee now!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making coffee is all about dissolving some of the roasted beans' flavor compounds — including the slightly bitter tang of caffeine — into hot water.

They also added adjustment mechanisms to stop the teeth from wobbling while crushing up beans.

Now, with the Lido 2, they've gone through the hoops to mass manufacture their parts in Taiwan, but are still assembling their first run of 500 at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $175 price tag comes from using professional-grade parts, cast metal construction and lots of attention to detail. They also added adjustment mechanisms to stop the teeth from wobbling while crushing up beans. That means the grind is more regular, and more consistent, than many of the hand grinders on the market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But why make, or buy, a hand grinder at all?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simply put, they deliver the same quality as motorized machines at a fraction of the cost. There are other hand grinders that are even cheaper than the Lido 2, such as the Hario Slim ($50) and Porlex Mini ($7). But die-hard coffee lovers contend that with sub-$100 models, you'll have problems with inconsistent grinds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jbviau\">Joshua Viau\u003c/a>, a regular Home Barista contributor, says the appeal of the Lido 2 and other serious hand grinders goes beyond mechanics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You taste differences in the cup, but it's more than that.
