Birdsong

About

A San Francisco restaurant serving what it terms heritage cuisine under chef Christopher Bleidorn. The kitchen frames cooking as a means of transmitting values, wisdom and tradition, sourcing ingredients in as whole a form as available from producers attentive to the ecosystems they work within — largely seasonal produce, local vegetables and whole animals. The restaurant's stated position holds that knowledge of place and period shapes its methods, retaining older practice while permitting revision.
