Cenar en casaImage Credit: | https://guide.michelin.com/en/california/alameda/restaurant/spinning-bones On the quaint island of Alameda comes this causal concept from restaurateurs, Mike Yakura and Danny Sterling. The entrance is in keeping with its industrial interior design, complete with a counter and kitchen in full view, exposed ductwork, and an indigo-blue ceiling.Billing itself as a Californian rotisserie, the menu is also strewn with Hawaiian and Japanese accents—behold such unorthodox sides as a Napa slaw, with pickled red kraut, carrot, and creamy sesame dressing. Top-notch meats take center stage, with starters (corn fritters with strawberry jam, anyone?) to boot. Marinated in koji and fermented rice, these umami-packed cuts are then grilled to rosy perfection. Desserts, like butter mochi cake with whipped cream, boast a light-as-feather texture.
