Senior editor Schuyler Bailey, who mows her way around town for the sake of the Eat + Drink section, is hungry. Here's what she's hankering for this month.
1. Rip van Wafel's Caramel-Filled Cookie
My morning coffee is made better with a Rip van Wafels topper: a caramel-filled cookie that gets warm and oozy as your cup cools. Available at Bi-Rite Market.

3. Duck Pâté and Mousse at Stones Throw
The duck pâté and mousse, topped with cornichon ribbons and served with a warm Firebrand pretzel at Stones Throw, is irresistible.
4. The Roger Rabbit at Alta CA
