D's Nutz vs. the Real Cronut; Meadowood's Latest Honor

PACIFIC HEIGHTS—Tamara Palmer of Zagat ate Dominique Ansel's original cronut a mere two weeks ago, so she's got a high bar for Fillmore Bakeshop's recently renamed D's Nutz. Her conclusion: "Ultimately, this is not the same beast as a cronut, but it's still worth eating." [Zagat]

ST. HELENA—Also worth eating: The Restaurant at Meadowood. They've just been named a five-star restaurant by the Forbes Travel Guide, putting them in an elite company of only six California restaurants. (The others are The French Laundry, Manresa, L.A.'s Melisse, San Diego's Addison, and Orange County's Studio.) [EaterWire]

UNION SQUARE—Tablehopper is gearing up for another food-centric singles mixer, and this time, it's an all-ages get-together for gay men at MKT Restaurant in the Four Seasons. The $95 admission includes several courses of food with paired wines and Charbay cocktails, and plenty of mingling. It goes down this Thursday. [EaterWire]

NAPA—Want a taste of the wine country harvest that's going down as we speak? Kutch Wines is running a live cam of their grape picking, sorting, foot stomping, and more. [EaterWire]
