Oakland’s Tribune Tavern, which Chris Pastena (Chop Bar) and Temoor Noor (Grand Tavern) opened last spring in the storied Tribune Tower, has a brand new chef, imported all the way from, like, right around the corner. Tracey Belock, who most recently cheffed at Disco Volante, also did time in the city working as head baker and pasta maker at Quince, and sous chef at Farralon. Though she’s only been in the Trib Tav’s kitchen since November, Belock’s already peppering the upscale-pub-grub menu with her modern, seasonally-inspired interpretations of old standards.
Favorite food city?
Probably in Italy, in Alba, or Le Marche, that was where my husband and I spent a lot of time, we have some friends who we met along the way traveling that have a restaurant there that was so outrageous, unreal. What seemed like a gas station I would say had some of the best pasta I’ve ever had in my life. Definitely Le Marche!
