Dear Mom Pickle Backs, Bacon Bacon @ Vinyl, and More

CAMEOS - Stuart Schiffman a.k.a. Broke-Ass Stuart is guest-bartending on Wednesday nights at Dear Mom now. He'll be serving $4 "pickle backs:" a shot of Dickle whiskey with a chaser of pickle juice from the Wise Sons. So gourmet. [EaterWire]

THE BRUNCH BUNCH - Foreign Cinema is the local rep on Travel + Leisure's new listicle of the best brunch places in America. It's so hard to whittle a city's brunch culture down to one spot, but they did an ok job. [T + L via Eater National]

CHEF SHUFFLES - Bluestem Brasserie's former executive chef Sean Canavan has popped up at Tender Greens' Walnut Creek location, where he'll now be heading up the kitchen. The house-made pâtés, terrines, salumi, pickles, sausages and cured meats he's so good at will be in the regular rotation there. [EaterWire]

ICE CREAM WIRE - Häagen-Dazs in the Westfield has some new flavors that haven't hit grocery aisles yet: Vanilla Bean Espresso Sundae, Spiced Caramel Biscuit Sundae, Salted Caramel Truffle Sundae, and Coconut Macaroon Sundae. Did you catch the pattern? [EaterWire]

FOOD TRUCKS - Bacon Bacon followers take note that the truck will be parked outside of Vinyl (359 Divisadero St.) from 6:30 p.m. onwards tonight and every Tuesday thereafter. Take a look at the pork-heavy menu here. [EaterWire]
