The Untermagnificent BARTs it over to Oakland and works her way through the menu at Daniel Patterson's Plum. She declares the four-month-old restaurant to be "the future of food" and offers some advice to optimize the experience: don't share ("You need sole access to pick up all the threads of flavor, texture and scent that make these dishes whole.") and ask for bread: "Acme served with delicious butter. You need it to complete the meal." Now the one liner to remember?: "Even though Plum’s food is highly conceptual, the cooking grabs you, sensually." [Examiner]
