The French Connection

Sandra Bourgeon makes every dining experience at Chez Papa feel a little more authentic—after all, she was born in Paris.

Sandra Bourgeon makes every dining experience at Chez Papa (1401 18th St., 415-824-8210) feel a little more authentic—after all, she was born in Paris. When she’s not waiting tables at the tiny bistro, she works as a DJ, spinning at places like Pink (2925 16th St., 415-431-8889). Or, you may find her enjoying cassoulet at her other favorite restaurant, Le Petit Robert (2300 Polk St., 415-922-8100), or just generally making her life in SF a little more French.
