Openings
Casual, quick Chinese eatery Dumplings & Buns has opened on the corner of California and Fillmore streets in San Francisco, specializing in dim sum including sweet and savory buns, dumplings and noodle dishes. Though aiming for rustic, authentic, comforting flavors, ingredients are consciously sourced and the eatery's design is all modern Californian. A gourmet grocery component features Asian condiments, sauces and specialty products such as locally crafted vegan kimchi. Look for daily tea specials from 3 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. Lunch & Dinner daily. Dumplings & Buns, 2411 California St., San Francisco, CA 94109, 415-292-6209.  |

Chef and Gayot's 2011 Best Restaurateur in the U.S. Michael Mina will reunite thirteen chefs from the course of his now-20-year career for a blow-out tribute dinner on October 9 that will also mark Mina's one-year return to the restaurant space---formerly Aqua, now Michael Mina---where his trajectory began in October 1991. Mina mentors, contemporaries and protégés such as George Morrone, Joseph Humphrey, Traci Des Jardins, Melissa Perello, Ron Siegel and others will pair up to create a six-course tasting menu for an assortment of VIP guests, including Gary Danko, Nancy Oakes and Roland Passot. Current chefs of Mina's other San Francisco properties Bourbon Steak and RN74 will prepare the canapés, and the fun will only build from there. Tickets are $500 per person, including wine pairings from Mina favorites such as Iron Horse, Au Bon Climat, Piedrasassi and others, as well as access to the after party. All proceeds will benefit Ronnie Lott's All Stars Helping Kids. Michael Mina, 252 California St., San Francisco, CA 94111, 415-397-9222.
