Introducing CheeseQuakes! and Cheesecake Shakes!

Posted on by Lalé

As the San Francisco Cheesecake Company grows and evolves, they have revived their original name ‘CheeseQuakes!’. Inspired by their ‘world famous cheesecakes’ (a quote they were happy to receive!) and the temblors the Bay Area is so noted for, it continues to be a name that makes people smile. Stop by and and try their various CheeseQuakes!

Their newest CheeseQuakes are their cheesecake Shakes. In time for the warm weather around the corner, these use the same ingredients (but no eggs), have rich, delicious flavors like their cheesecakes and you can drink them! Current flavors are Original, Chocolate Chip, Caffeccino, and Raspberry. Additional flavors will rotate in throughout the year.

MarketBar Welcomes Back Chef Rick Hackett

Posted on by Lalé
Rick Hackett was the opening chef at MarketBar. Here, he established the first restaurant in the Ferry Building Marketplace to offer farm-to-table cuisine based on the array of world-class provisions from the CUESA Saturday Farmers Market and the greater Bay Area food universe.
Now returning to MarketBar, Rick will continue their approach since they opened—making discerning sourcing decisions, concentrating on sustainable products, and seeking out the finest examples of the bounty.
From his earliest days at Chez Panisse in Berkeley and continuing throughout his career, Rick has had a love of seafood, and will offer here an ever-changing menu of local fish and shellfish, both raw and cooked, in addition to meats from outstanding local purveyors and vegetables and fruits sourced from the market.
We are all so happy to welcome him back.
