ISawYou@metronews.com Send us your anonymous rants and raves about your co-workers or any badly behaving citizen—or about citizens you admire. I SAW YOU, Metro, 550 S. First St., San Jose, 95113, or via email.

I saw you—or maybe “I heard you” is more like it—at a spa in Palo Alto, loudly checking in for your appointment as “Steve Wozniak.” Yeah, right. You looked nothing at all like the man who co-founded Apple Inc. but everyone in the waiting area got to hear several times just who was checking in at the front desk. Wozniak is not exactly Smith when it comes to last names, so is it just a huge coincidence that you have that same exact name? It could’ve seemed like one— or perhaps there was the tiniest chance someone could’ve mistaken you for the real deal—if only you had kept your voice down and didn’t keep repeating your “name.”

WHAT WAS THE which he experienced during his travels throughout Europe’s premier PROGRESSION OF YOUR CAREER? Ellis: We had a beach house in New Jersey and we’d beer cities. Designed by architect Marc Dimalanta, Steins features a 300go live there for the summer. There was this restaurant around the corner from seat, 8,000-square-foot domed interior room and a 4,000-square-foot our house...and when I was about 12, they sent me to work there. By the time I outdoor patio. was 16, I was working the busiest station in the restaurant. I ended up going to Ted, with his contagious positive energy, says that he can’t wait Washington, D.C. [and] was a chef de cuisine at 23 but I felt like I needed to work for folks to check out the “in-your-face, custom-made walk-in cooler” under one of these superstars to get to the level I wanted to be at.

Guests can gaze at the unique direct-draw draft was opening a steakhouse in D.C., I applied as a line cook and left a chef de cuisine system—the tap handles are connected to the kegs, eliminating draft position for a line cook.

Having 30 draft beers is a manageable number for staff, Ted says: became a sous chef for Michael Voltaggio, who won Top Chef. He moved on and I “I want them to know exactly what we’re serving. I want to be able to became chef. First year that I was the chef there, we got a Michelin star, Ivy Award give genuine beer recommendations, so ongoing beer education will be from Restaurant Institutions and we were in the top 100 Bay Area in the Chronicle. important.”

SOMEThe VIEW FARM-TO-TABLE AS A BUZZWORD—WHY IS FARM-TO-TABLE food will have a local, farm-to-table emphasis according toIMPORTANT chef I was at Dry Creek Kitchen I had a network of farmers TOReade, YOU? When and everything will be made in-house, including breads andwhere everything came from a local farmer.kitchen … Theyspace, essentially mybe menu; pretzels. Because of the generous there wrote will also inwhat theycharcuterie, had is whatbutchery I served and quality of the ingredients just house andthe pickling programs.

I’m thatis,”level yet.who I have some relationships building food as fresh asnot the at beer sayshere Reade, embraces beer’s versatility in and...I want to get as much as I can from local farms.

Supporting those tiny, food pairing. fragile businesses is important me.

Some examples from the to tidy menu of 25 items include pork belly TELL US MORE ABOUT “HULT’S EXPERIENCE.” It’s a three-course prix fixe menu; you pick a theme, land, water, air or earth. These change on a daily basis. Sometimes when you get a tasting menu, the flavors are on two different ends of spectrum from first course to last course and it doesn’t all sit well. We’re really trying to focus on that, from the start of the meal to the finish. And it’s not a tiny taste where you’re going to walk out the door and still feel hungry.

THE RESTAURANT IS YOUNG AND YOU DID BIG THINGS AT DRY CREEK WITHIN YOUR FIRST YEAR. WHAT SORT OF FUTURE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE FOR HULT’S? Would we like to get a Michelin star here? Maybe someday. I just want to have fun.

I want to be in a restaurant that’s full every day, you know. A Michelin star doesn’t mean anything if your restaurant is going to close in a year. I just want to continue to expand on the farm-to-table and getting more local farms involved.

Ever since Google got the ball rolling in the early 2000s as the first tech campus to have an executive chef (Charlie Ayers, who has gone on to open Calafia Café and Market in Palo Alto), the tech and food industries have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship. Jung cites several other crossover examples, such as former Google marketing exec Lisa Rhorer, who left the company to become a sommelier and now operates Los Gatos restaurants Cin-Cin and Centonove, or the fruitful business partnership between chef Bradley Ogden and Facebook’s Chris Kelly.

“Whether it’s out in the open or not, there is a lot of money either from people who used to work in tech now going on to open their own food businesses or people still working in tech who invest in food companies and restaurants behind the scenes.”

MR. HARADA AND I HAVE been exploring watering holes in the South Bay and beyond for a long while now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been just over a decade since our ďŹ rst merry toast, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been going strong ever since. As the years pass, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become wiser, plumper and our tastes have developed. Certain prohibitionists, pragmatists and/or doctors would argue that we search for more complex ďŹ&#x201A;avor proďŹ les because years of drinking alcohol have stripped our sensitive taste buds down into taste-stumps, but those people are wrong. You see, the barďŹ&#x201A;yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey is very much like that of a philosopher, and our taste buds have developed like the minds of Plato, Machiavelli and Tupac.

Keeping in line with our reďŹ ned tastes, we recently visited a drinking establishment beďŹ tting our elevated standing. The Hedley Club at the Hotel De Anza is as cultured as it gets, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not just talking about San Jose; The Hedley is a world-class joint. The De Anza opened its doors at the height of the Great Depression, in 1931. It was built by Carl Swenson, and rebuilt by his son Barry nearly 60 years later. The hotel opened during Prohibition, so it probably didn't include The Hedley Club from the start, but I have a feeling the place was nonetheless as wet as a catďŹ sh during the rainy season.

Today, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dimly lit oasis at the end of a luxurious hotel lobby. It has a Masonic spirit. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place that the Scottish Rite members would ďŹ nd familiar. The bar is tucked against the port-side wall, and it features a selection of ďŹ ne booze. Across the room is a stage, which usually features live jazz, which never gets any â&#x20AC;&#x153;boos.â&#x20AC;?

On the night that Mr. Harada and I visited, we started with Templeton Rye. It seems that this particular whiskey is poised to take over the market. Even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around since Al Capone made a name for himself, Templeton Rye is recently on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind and in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gullet. I'm not sure if the stuff made it out this far West during the dry years, but I'm glad it's being shipped today.

From there we did the responsible thing and sampled a variety of the Boulevard Smokestack Series beers. You know the old saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;beer after liquor will make you stronger and quicker.â&#x20AC;? Well, if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard that one before, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably because I just made it up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the truth, though, or at least it seems like it. The Smokestack Series features very bold brews. We enjoyed The Sixth Glass, a Belgian strong dark ale, and settled comfortably into the glow slowly pouring from the bar in a room otherwise locked into dusk.

The room began to ďŹ ll with hotel guests and locals ready for a comfortable night out. In no time we had an accomplice who pulled up a seat and engaged us in jovial conversation about music and guitars (two of my favorite topics). A jazz band started up and when we turned around to watch, nearly every seat in the room was occupied by guests that looked like they knew their way around Monte Carlo and Hong Kong.

The Hedley is a place where you want to wear a suit and tie, even if you came in wearing jeans. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very California type of place. It makes no apologies for its reďŹ ned atmosphere, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care to judge, as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to have a good time. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;The BarďŹ&#x201A;y
