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, 380 S. First St., San Jose, 95113, or via email.

Distracted I saw you on your bike, zooming down a sidewalk in downtown San Jose, as I pulled even with you in my car at a red light.

Your hands were not on the handlebars, but down your pants. You were just riding along, adjusting and readjusting your junk—and then readjusting some more.

Kind of impressed you can go that fast and ride in such an even, straight line when you might be a little, you know, distracted. But still, don’t you want to be a little more cautious? Since you’re not really steering and your focus is clearly elsewhere, what would happen to that oh-so-carefully repositioned package if you hit a bump or something and crashed?

GEETO OFFA FA AMY YCLO YC OUD Before this weekend’s J-Law privacy invasion, Silicon Valley’s collection of personal data took a back seat to outrage over the NSA’s mass surveillance

L

ast year, in response to revelations about NSA surveillance, some of Silicon Valley’s biggest names got together and formed an organization dedicated to promoting government surveillance reform.

Silicon Valley runs on for-profit surveillance, and that it dwarfs anything being run by the NSA.

BITES

CREAM OF THE CROP Oak & Rye gets the most out of late-summer heirloom tomatoes with a seasonal small plate that pairs them with creamy burrata and fried capers.

Pizza Party

O

AK & RYE sets itself apart as colorfully different. This relative newcomer to Los Gatos’ N. Santa Cruz Avenue serves a menu of wood-fired pizzas, tasty small plates and an inviting selection of cocktails, wine and draft beer.

On a weeknight visit, communal tables inside and on the patio were my only option for seating in the packed restaurant. Like their pizzas, the restaurant’s decor and vibe enjoy an off-center touch, like a pizza oven mosaicked with pennies, an awesome soundtrack of classic hip-hop or the trippy bathrooms with fluorescent painted walls and a compact television/ VCR unit constantly showing ’90s hits like Die Hard.

Whether you enjoy a cold beer or a nice glass of wine with your pizza, you’ll find a good selection of Italian wines as well as craft beer by draft or in bottle. The cocktail menu features deep-flavored concoctions such as the Italian Manhattan (known other places as a Negroni). In A Catcher In The Rye, made with rye, mint and Grand Marnier, the spiciness of rye and sweet tinge of orange liqueur played off one another nicely.

From the menu of small plates, a heirloom tomato salad with burrata, basil oil, balsamic and fried capers offered a taste of the last stretch of summer.

Not only was the dish plated beautifully but the salty, crunchy fried capers amplified the flavors of creamy burrata cheese and juicy tomato. Equally tasty were the lighter-than-air gnocchis with pork sausage and kale. The dish was incredibly rich and flavorful, so just a couple bites proved enough.

For the main attraction, Oak & Rye cooks wood-fired pizzas in a blistering-hot oven. Each pizza arrives sliced into sixths and is sharable between two or perfect for one, if you’re really hungry. Browse over the pizza names and you'll see Oak & Rye threw in a bit of the quirky there too with names such as TMNT (for those pizza-munching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and the vegetarian CeeLo Greens. The TMNT is an elevated version of the best pepperoni pizza you’ve ever had. A perfectly crisp, slightly charred crust is topped with tomato, mozzarella, oregano, chili flakes, caciocavallo (an Italian cow milk cheese, similar to a pungent mozzarella), parmigiano and salametto piccante which is most like a dry, slightly smoked Spanish chorizo. While the TMNT may be a good intro, the must-try pizza here is the Scotty 2 Hottie with tomato, basil, mozzarella, sopressata and with the incredible sweet and spicy combination of Tim’s honey and pepperoncini oil. —Jeff Cianci OAK & RYE 303 N.

ARVEST TIME is on the horizon and a new South County event celebrates this most bountiful time of year. The first Taste of Santa Clara Valley dinner, which takes place Sept. 14, features a menu sourced from local farmers—and it also helps small, local farms by raising money for Community Alliance with Family Farmers.

The nonprofit CAFF advocates for California family farms and sustainable growing practices.

Chef Nicolai Tuban of Bon Appetit Management Company will prepare a menu highlighting local veggies and meat. The Palo Alto-based Bon Appetit, though it now caters for cafes in 32 states, has plenty of experience cooking for the Silicon Valley palate, with clients who include Google, Oracle and eBay. This “farm-to-fork” meal, as organizers have dubbed it, offers dishes such as heirloom tomatoes three ways, roasted South Valley mushrooms with white beans, roasted chicken with sweet corn pudding and zinfandel-braised grass-fed beef from Morris Ranch.

The dinner will be accompanied by wine from Guglielmo Winery, which hosts the dinner, as well as beer from Gordon Biersch.

Organizers plan to make the dinner an annual event.

A TASTE OF SILICON VALLEY Sept. 14, 5-9pm. Guglielmo Winery, 1480 E. Main Ave., Morgan Hill. Tickets are $125. guglielmowinery.com.

In the Market

A

NEW MARKET opening in San Jose’s SoFA district takes inspiration from the San Pedro Square Market’s successful model of offering an array of eateries serving a diverse selection of cuisine. The SoFA market’s first tenant, Falafel Bar, opened late last month.

The focus of their straightforward menu is, obviously, falafel and here it’s served two ways: in a pita (like a sandwich and with a choice of white or wheat pita) or in a bowl (the gluten-free option). Diners can customize their pita or bowl with sides, sauces and pickles—everything from more traditional toppings like hummus, tabouleh or harissa to unusual choices like cilantro-jalapeño pesto, quinoa, spinach, cabbage or seasonal pickled vegetables. (Another unorthodox addition: ketchup.) The menu also includes a traditional Middle Eastern roasted eggplant dish playfully renamed Baba Good News.

The pita is priced at $6.50 and the bowl is priced by weight, at $8.75 per pound (and a smaller pita with two falafel balls is available for $4.). Falafel Bar also serves French fries and agave sodas. —Heather Zimmerman FALAFEL BAR 387 S. First St., San Jose. falafelbar.com.

ART

is hosting a group exhibition of works created by local artists using only pencil and paper.

Pencils Down IT HAS BECOME an annual tradition at The Arsenal, the San Jose art shop, studio and gallery space. Each year, a mixture of graffiti artists, tattoo artists, fine artists, illustrators and designers come together to showcase their work in a particular medium. This year the artists have been limited to pencil and paper for the “Graphite Show,” which opens this weekend.

“When certain parameters are set, you have to be more creative”, says Sean Boyles, co-owner of The Arsenal. The show will feature more than 20 different artists, including such notable San Jose artists as Mitzy Avila Ovalles and Joe To. Other artists include Mr. Wim, Brian Canio, and Nancy Ahn.

Graphite Show The Arsenal, San Jose Sep 6, Mon-Fri: 11am-8pm, Sat: 11am-6pm, Free thearsenalsj.com

In spite of its narrowly defined medium, the exhibition space seems to know no bounds. Boyles and fellow artist and co-owner Roan Victor have transformed the unassuming shop on The Alameda into a key player in the South Bay art scene. With a keen eye for art outside the mainstream and a passion for enlivening the local art scene, The Arsenal has become a place where artists can buy supplies and exhibit their work, as well as a space where they may hone their craft and teach aspiring artists in regular drawing and painting classes. The result is an environment that feels like a perpetual art opening.

“Since we carry all these materials, we have relationships with all types of artists”, Boyles says. In fact, Victor and Boyles, both working artists, are also featured in the upcoming show.

Victor's piece is an astoundingly detailed, a wild mishmash of flowers and faces. It is symbolic of the varied and eclectic talent in the Graphite Show.

Usually The Arsenal completely transforms its gallery space to meet the needs of a given artist. This time, however, they are keeping things simple—painting the gallery walls a stark white to give further contrast to the monochromatic drawings.

One of the artists featured in show, illustrator and concept artist Tony Nguyen, is a San Jose local and longtime friend of the owners. “I was failing in all my college classes and somebody suggested an art class, a life-drawing class," he recalls. "So I just went full force with that." He ended up with a degree in animation and illustration before plying his trade making concept art in the video game industry. Nguyen, whose work is inspired by “anything that has a lot of life and energy” has designed art for popular companies like Zynga, and now works for a game startup in Miami.

Whenever Nguyen returns home to San Jose, he finds himself hanging out at The Arsenal. “I miss the Bay Area”, Nguyen says, “Any time I come back, I come by [The Arsenal]. This is where the roots are at.”— Tad Malone
