Coming Soon: Hot Milk by Crystal Sykes

A fave of mine: the smoked Boulevardier at Sessions (Oakland)

Another newsletter? Yes. Another newsletter.

Hot Milk will be my little corner of Beyonce’s internet where I share thoughts, news—basically anything about food, drinks and the culture at large—that doesn’t make it into a piece of work. Consider it my very public personal diary with sprinkles of my inbox on top.

Hope to see you there.

Penrose Oakland with OpenTable by Crystal Sykes

Recently, I was invited to dinner as part OpenTable's #100opentables campaign. OpenTable just launched a rebrand with a focus on what's happening around the restaurant table and decided to celebrate by launching 100 dinners in 30 different cities on one night. A few of us food/lifestyle bloggers gathered at Oakland's Penrose and had a supreme experience. The place was beautiful, the food was incredible and the Burnt Sienna cocktail (above), with coffee and mezcal, was pretty super. A second visit already happened, FYI.
