Town Fare, La Traviata, Piglet & Co. | Check, Please! Bay Area

On a new Check, Please! Bay Area: Located inside the Oakland Museum of California, Town Fare by Michele McQueen specializes in creative takes on comforting soul food – think sweet potato waffles and low country shrimp and grits. Next up comes La Traviata in San Francisco’s Mission District, where Italian classics like prosciutto e melone and lasagna bolognese are served with a lively side of opera music. Lastly, San Francisco’s Piglet & Co. brings guests a non-traditional twist on sumptuous Taiwanese flavors, from mala BBQ pork ribs to honey walnut shrimp pork toast. Reporter Cecilia Phillips rounds out this week’s episode with a visit to the Redwood City Kiwanis Farmers Market, the oldest farmers market on the Peninsula.
