7x7 asks the city's chefs for the recipes to their most loved cocktails, bar snacks, starters, mains, and desserts. If there's a dish you can't stop thinking about and want to make it at home, email schuyler@7x7.com. Your wish may end up on the blog, along with the actual recipe from the chef.
If you’ve yet to make it over the Golden Gate to sample some of Joanne Weir’s fresh Mex at Copita Tequileria y Comida, perhaps 80-plus degree days will push you over the bridge. The timing couldn’t be better with new hours—starting bright and early at 10 am on Sundays in honor of football season—and a bar menu featuring snacks and ceviche. Whet your appetite with two of the house cocktails.
