Jeremy Fox in Oakland!
I am no Coi fan, but this news about the new chef at Daniel Patterson's soon to be new place in Oakland, Plum, made me very happy . I am SO looking forward to a visit to my home town to check it out this summer:

I only hope he has full creative control. It will be interesting to see what he does there.

Any new gossip? A friend was raving about the Plum as-it-turns-out-not-really-a-preview meal he cooked at Il Cane Rosso.

Another one in the saddened group. Wondering what is up with Fox that he isn't getting his own place; lack of investors? different direction in his life? unsure what the future holds?

I read a few blogged reviews but I'm hard-pressed to remember the names of those blogs now...
Sorry. What I do remember is that (not surprisingly) the vegetable dishes were more well-received than the protein ones, but these were coming from bloggers who (like me) were enraptured with what he was creating at Ubuntu. It was also hard to rate too much because said bloggers were having to judge a mere four courses against the multitudes of courses they were used to experiencing at Ubuntu.

Since Fox is out, I've started a new thread for reports on the preview dinners.

A semi-foodie friend asked me who Jeremy Fox was, and I said "Ubuntu!" She then asked what Ubuntu was, and I went to Google to show her images returned with Jeremy Fox as the search term. What then happened was extremely embarrassing!!

Vince - you do realize that Google search uses algorithms that make everyone's search different, depending on other searches they have conducted on their computer, don't you?
Two people with different interests searching the exact same topic are not necessarily going to receive the exact same results.
Because my computer is used almost entirely for food, wine, and restaurant related topics, when I search for "Jeremy Fox" all I see are images of that chef and little else for almost 8 pages. I would hazard an educated guess that you use your computer to search "other items" which are skewing your results.

Well that explains why. I wasn't using my computer. I did some research, and found out that it was pretty recent that Google started personalizing searches this way for users that are not signed in, using info from cookies stored on the computer.
By the way, does anyone know why Jeremy Fox left the Plum project so abruptly?

It has been reported that he has a book deal and speculation is that he has found a place on his own.

Whoopie! I'm excited, too, about the concept, with "progressive" food but more casual. Go Oaktown!
