research

as crab landing is still in the construction phase, we start meeting all these vendors for tasting of their products from wines to liquor to produce.

we got to taste so many wines, i've definitely trained my palette even though there's still alot of work to be done. we did alot of research by going to alot of restaurants, checking out how they ran their operation, their menus, wine list, wells for the bars as well as checking out their decor to almost everything you could think of.

we got to check out Southern Wine & Spirits warehouse which was located in union city and they distribute to pretty much the whole bay area. one of the biggest wine & spirits vendors in the US.

hog island at the ferry building is one of my favorite places to go grab oysters. love their concept and how they push their oysters. wanted to do something similar to our oyster bar as well so i took the whole team there to check it out, even brought my contractor so he had an idea of how an oyster bar should look.
