The Bold Italic and Stag Dining Group put a high premium on aesthetics. We know if something looks good you’ll feel good about it, so everything we present together is as much of a feast for your eyes as it is on your tongue. For the next in our series of microhood dinners, we’re taking that artistic concept one step further and celebrating local design with two of the city’s biggest innovators in their fields. 

On Saturday, April 21, the Bold Italic and Stag Dining Group present the Microhood by Design Dinner in Hayes Valley. Our featured guests will be architect Douglas Burnham and interiors whiz Kelly Malone. Douglas is the founder and principal architect at the collaborative design firm envelope A+D, who helped create the Proxy project, which turned shipping containers into pop-ups in the Hayes Valley Green. Kelly is the brains behind Workshop and Indie Mart who reworked The Bold Italic’s headquarters into a two-story art gallery. Between conversations with these two and the designs they’ll have on display, we’ll have plenty to satisfy your eyes and ears. As for your palate, we’ll satisfy that with a cocktail reception with Cocktail Lab, wine pairings, and a five course meal: 

Spring Vegetable Salad goat cheese cremeux, rye crumb, sherry vinaigrette 

Green Gazpacho shellfish escabeche, herbs 

Miso Glazed Duck Breastcarrot, fava, black trumpet 

Roasted Duroc Pork Belly amaranth, asparagus, pickled rhubarb, candied jalapeno 

Yuzu Curd tarragon meringue, strawberry 

* Menu subject to change. 21+ over. No substitutions. 72 hour cancellation policy. Exact location will be announced the day of the dinner.
