Horror the Explorer I Saw You, Christopher Columbus. I saw you standing in City Hall as if you were the one to receive all the praise for the “Discovery of America.”

I saw you, Mr. Columbus. I saw you and your soldiers tear down our homes. Spread disease and everyone knows.

You and your fellow explorers claiming to find a land that's already owned.

I saw you when I walked into the office. I heard you trying to justify the invasion. Trying to say it was just disease that killed off a nation. I saw you, Miss Karen, talking your racial nonsense. As if it was your ancestors who paid the price.

HEN IT CAME to culinary school, First to Market executive chef Domingo Wolbert never got the memo.

Instead, the Santa Rosa native says, he absorbed as much as he could during time spent working at Whole Foods and practiced his cooking skills at home, making meals for his family.

In his early experience working at restaurants such as Zazu in Sebastopol, Wolbert says he was fortunate to have creative freedom, which inspired him to take a more adventurous approach to food. First to Market opened this year serving Wolbert’s take on American comfort food, with dishes that draw much inspiration from the American South. Wolbert says he is working to shift the menu toward inventive small plates that use the fresh ingredients of California.

METRO: HOW WOULD YOU BEST DESCRIBE YOUR MENU? Domingo Wolbert: The initial approach was to stay as traditional as possible to American food. And now we are basically doing less traditional American food and more of just Californian. I enjoy being really creative with my menu and we had things like a rolled rabbit—people really don’t see that on menus. With small plates it is nice because it makes the menu more accessible. We really try to encourage people to share and explore the menu because I think what we do is different than a lot of other places around here. I like to do adventurous food but I’ll keep a couple simple things on the side, so you don’t just have a menu of “crazy.”

WITH SINGLEBARREL CO-FOUNDER JOE GRADILLAS INVOLVED WITH FIRST TO MARKET, THE BAR IS STOCKED WITH AN ARSENAL OF SMALL-BATCH SPIRITS. HOW DO YOU PLAY THAT INTO THE MENU? DW: Yeah! Right now we have a whiskey smoked barbecue sauce that’s on our pulled pork sliders. I also do a bourbon demi-glace which is on the elk chop. We’re making an in-house vanilla extract with vodka. Normally it would be bourbon, but we’re taking a shot with the vodka. Everything that we can use, we’re just trying.

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE ONE ONE OF THE MANY NEW RESTAURANTS OPENING ACROSS DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE? DW: I had been saying to my staff, we’re just a block away from all these new places that had been popping up. And now it seems like it is making its way here to us. It’s always pretty cool to be a part of a new trend.

WHEN YOU’RE NOT IN THE KITCHEN WHERE ARE YOU ENJOYING YOUR DAYS OFF? DW: (laughs) Resting—but I’m always looking around for new stuff to get inspiration. I love going down Highway 1 to the coast. I recently found this place, Highway One Brewing, and the food, beer and atmosphere are just incredible. —Jeff Cianci FIRST TO MARKET 399 S. First St., San Jose. 408.600.2120 or firsttomarketsj.com

AVIDsTEA is pretty much the Ben & Jerry’s of tea. The company offers 150 blends for sale, many of them playfully named to reflect unconventional—and sometimes odd—ingredients. Their Read My Lips tea, for instance, includes red candy lips in its mix of black tea with chocolate, vanilla and mint.

The Canadian tea retailer, in business for a mere half-dozen years, has made some inroads in the U.S. recently. Its latest location, a shop in downtown Palo Alto, celebrates its grand opening on Aug. 30. The shop marks the occasion with free tea samples.

DAVIDsTEA rounds out the flavors in some blends with candy, dried fruit or other unusual add-ins, including caramel pieces, hot chilies, goji berries, pomegranate seeds and kombucha powder. The company does sell more traditional teas, including pu’erh, assam, darjeeling and Japanese sencha.

The store will sell loose-leaf tea by weight to brew at home, as well as hot and iced tea drinks.

DAVIDSTEA 318 University Ave., Palo Alto. Open Mon-Sat: 9:30am-9pm; Sun, 9:30am-7pm. 650.462.1450 or davidstea.com.

Brews in the Park

T

he warm season’s on the wane, but the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce has plans to sneak in one more outdoor party centered around cold beer on a hot (late) summer day—and some music in the park—before autumn creeps in. The inaugural Saratoga Blues & Brews Fest takes place Sep. 6, 3-7 p.m., at Wildwood Park, right down the hill from Saratoga Village.

Participating local craft breweries include Firestone Walker, Faultline Brewing Company, Santa Clara Brewing Company and Hermitage Brewing Company. In a nod to vino lovers, Cooper-Garrod Estate Winery and Guglielmo Winery will also be on hand to pour their vintages.

Handheld Catering offers dishes, available for purchase, that are well-suited to brews: barbecue, brats and some vegetarian options as well.

For dessert, the Kona Ice truck will serve shaved ice, with 25 percent of their proceeds benefiting the Audrie Pott Foundation.

And serving up the blues will be Shakedancer Blues Revue, a blues allstars ensemble featuring Aki Kumar, Little Jonny, Mark Hummel and Terry Hanck.

TICKETS are $30 and include one complimentary glass of beer or wine. Tickets available online or at the door. saratogachamber.org or 408-867-0753.

Sriracha Festival. He also helped book one of the stages.

Spicy Beats

SRIRACHA HOT SAUCE and electronic music don’t ostensibly have much in common. One comes in a plastic squeeze bottle and makes all kinds of foods spicy and delicious; the other comes in many different forms and makes people dance.

Even the guy who organized the Electronic Sriracha Festival, taking place this weekend in San Jose’s St. James Park, isn’t exactly sure why he paired the two.

“It’s one of those things that doesn’t make any sense,” says Ryan Sebastian, founder of the San Jose-based food-truck-event planning company, Moveable Feast, which is organizing the festival. In a way, though, it does make sense—“on so many levels.”

There are many parallels between the ascendence of Sriracha and EDM. Both products first established footholds overseas, enjoyed only a small niche audience in the U.S., and have exploded into the mainstream over the past five years or so.

Sriracha and EDM are pop culture sensations. So, it is perhaps little wonder that the response to the festival has been so overwhelming. Still Sebastian was caught off guard.

Electronic Sriracha Festival St. James Park, San Jose Aug 30, 12pm, $20 ESFestival.com

“We thought people would talk about it because it’s such a weird connection,” Sebastian says. He didn’t expect to see the story picked up by the likes of Fox News and the Huffington Post. Nor did he anticipate the backlash exhibited in a particularly snarky piece published on Vice’s website. But Sebastian isn’t concerned.

“If no one ever criticizes you for anything, you probably haven’t taken enough risks,” he says, adding that he isn’t just trying to capitalize on a trend. “People have been using Sriracha in San Jose for a long time.”

Sebastian will be giving away custom Electronic Sriracha Festival bottles— manufactured specifically for the event—to the first 7,500 people through the gate.

At the event, food trucks and vendors will be serving over 120 Sriracha-infused dishes, including cupcakes, ice cream, cotton candy and more.

There will be three stages—all focused on mellower electronic sounds, like deep house, and steering clear of the more aggressive sub-genres, like dubstep and trap.

“It’ll have more of a chilled-out, feel-good, happy, summertime vibe,” says local DJ John Beaver who is booking the festival’s Olmstead and Kennedy stages. Mathew Gonzales from Sonido Clash is booking the Hart stage.

Some highlights from Beaver’s stages include Sam F, a Bay Area producer that’s worked on a lot of recent Lonely Island tracks, Aaron Axelsen, program director for LIVE 105, and Beaver himself, who’s played Coachella.

Gonzales will have more offbeat electronic music, including groups like Los Disco Duro, who play electronic cumbia with live percussion and keys.— Aaron Carnes
