WEEK IN REVIEWS - Patty Untz Untz filed her review of one-year-old Starbelly in the Castro on Friday. Although the restaurant has a similar menu style to its "sisters," Beretta and Delarosa, she divines: "...the real difference is that Starbelly’s chef, Adam Timney, cooks with quirky California eclecticism." [Examiner]

THE MISSION - Tomorrow La Cocina will be hosting a cooking class in which you can cook your way through a multi-course menu with influences from Indonesia, India, the Middle East, China and California. $65 includes instruction and "a mountain of Malaysian munchies," and you can still get tickets here.

LOWER POLK - Today Lady T-Hop brings the good word that Brenda's will be expanding into the gutted laundromat next door as part of a complete remodel. This spot has an omnipresent brunch line on the weekends, so this may just make its menu of biscuits, beignets and other NOLA-inspired items that much more accessible. [Tablehopper]
