They’ll be a margarita-making class, a tequila tasting, five-course meal and, of course, a mariachi serenade.

New Ballpark Grub: Can You Say "Bacon-Wrapped"?

(blog)
We can only hope Tres Agaves' bacon-wrapped hot dog will look like this.

In the past few years I've heard of other ballparks in America serving "gourmet" fare—sushi in Seattle, Cuban sandwiches in Miami, fish tacos in San Diego. At AT&T Park the food has historically been pretty standard—hot dogs, garlic fries, beer. But starting on Monday, opening day, there's a new game in town. Tres Agaves has taken over the three concession stands formerly leased by Compadres, so eating at the game is about to get a lot better. What's in store?

With SF's restaurants being forced to up their prices, diners are being asked to put their money where their ideals are. In pursuit of the real bottom line, Quince chef Michael Tusk takes us on a journey from farmers market to final bill.

Driving across the Bay Bridge one bright Friday morning with Michael Tusk, chef-owner of Quince restaurant, I find myself looking at the dashboard of his beat-up car, ablaze with warning lights, and thinking how unfortunate it would be if we were to break down right here, right now. For one thing, it’s starting to rain.

It’s 10 o’clock—do you know where your favorite mixologist is right now?A bartender isn’t just a bartender anymore. Some actually prefer to be called “bar chefs” (which seems appropriate, considering the increasing mise en place of cocktail ingredients). And just as SF foodies follow their favorite toques, today “boozies” dutifully follow their preferred mixologists. But the chase is complicated. Some top bartenders hold down as many as three gigs.

Jalicscan-style dishes turn up the heat.Finally, the city’s Mexican restaurants are stepping it up a notch. First Impala, with its “Mexi-luxe” menu and sultry downstairs lounge, opened in May. Now Marina newcomer Mamacita is dishing out authentic tacos and enchiladas with house-made tortillas. Just a home run away from SBC Park, Tres Agaves unites Globe’s Joseph Manzare with tequila expert Julio Bermejo of Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant. Manzare is heating up SoMa with Jaliscan specialties, including birria (roasted goat in tomato-chile broth) and hearty huitlacoche-stuffed chiles rellenos (pictured here).

This cavernous former warehouse unites Globe’s Joseph Manzare with tequila expert Julio Bermejo of Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant for a winning combination of great food and great tequila. Giants fans from the ballpark across the street and downtowners ready for an after-work drink head for the bar.

Eats:What's on your menu.: <p>Specialties from Jalisco, the region in Mexico from which blue agave hails, are the focus of the menu. Entrées include birria (roasted goat in tomato-chile broth) and earthy huitlacoche-stuffed chiles rellenos. With plenty of tequilas to choose from, it’s all too easy to put out the flames with the house specialty, an unsalted margarita on the rocks.</p>
