Gather... dare I say it, more enticing than Chez Panisse?


Compelling argument, no?  I guess I don't have hard data to back up my argument, but we walked around the Gourmet Ghetto with friends today and stopped to look at Chez Panisse's menu.  It was ridiculously expensive, especially compared to Gather, and while the food looked enticing, Gather had a similar locally-oriented, farm-to-table ambiance with a much more reasonable cost.  This pork belly sandwich with arugula was great, although I missed the normal accompaniment of cabbage (today it was replaced with onions and peppers).  The arugula side salad was perfect with the salty hearty sandwich, though.  So well composed.
