MOVIE: ROBIN WILLIAMS' WISH
"Robin's Wish"
It's a new doc about the last weeks of Robin Williams' life told through the lens of his widow, Susan Schneider. This personal look at the life of one of our most beloved actors and comedians answers many of the questions about his final days. It sheds new light on the illness he had been diagnosed with months before he passed. The heartache of losing the man who made the world laugh is still felt by so many - those who knew him personally and those like me who were and are simply fans. A must-see doc. Robin Williams - beloved and though gone, not forgotten. Now on video on demand.

EAT: TASTE OF JAPAN AT GOZU-CHAN
In one bite I was transported back to Japan, to flavour bomb city and the hits kept on coming! GOZU-CHAN is an al fresco dining experience (Tues - Sat) on Spear Street in San Francisco with social distance dining, blankets & heat lamps on hand to keep you warm. Much of the cuisine is masterfully prepped by Chef Marc Zimmerman on an outdoor charcoal grill feet away from diners. The food is outstanding, the preparation artful & menu thoughtful. I may have cried wagyu tears as every little wagyu bite was presented to me - yes the food is that good! The highballs are a must-have but my warm whiskey toddy stole the whiskey show. The GOZU team has also just launched a Bento box to go. Menu items include: Tomato salad, Tokyo Scallion, Karachi miso, Wagyu confit stuffed morel, Yuzu beurre blanc, caviar & that's just for starters. Then there are the sweet endings by way of cookies & chocolate tarts.
Treat yourself to dinner al fresco or to a Bento box to enjoy at home via Tock.
