B is for Bocanova

Bocanova is at Jack London Square.  It's a pan-american restaurant with recipes from all the Americas using local ingredients.  Small plates are perfect for sharing.  It has a large dining room but
if the evening is warm, the terrace can't be beat.  If you go, definitely order the shishito peppers with Trapani sea salt.  Warning: they are addictive.

Linking to ABC Wednesday.

    hmmmm.....
    Yesterday, as «Louis» was heading to Cash & Carry (where he gets many of the supplies for his Espresso Van) on Oak Street near JLS, he was thinking he should soon make a detour to JLS and see what is new there. You've now given him more incentive to do so...
