Kickstartin'

The latest chef attempting to raise money from the Kickstarter community is Trish Tracey, who's worked at MoMo's, Thirsty Bear, and Roti, among other spots. After moving home to care for her terminally ill mother, Tracey's back in the Bay Area and hoping to launch a gastropub, Myriad, in SOMA. She's aiming to raise $60K by Sunday, and is $10K away from hitting her goal. Throw her $35, and she'll give you some homemade pickles for your trouble. Oh, and if that's not enough to convince you, let Michael Ruhlman tell you why you should support her. [Kickstarter]
