The story
Rich Table is a contemporary American restaurant at 199 Gough St. in San Francisco, listed as Michelin Recommended for 2026.
The kitchen serves Californian and contemporary American dishes at dinner, and some of them have made it into The Rich Table Cookbook. The book shares recipes and tips for cooking Rich Table-inspired meals at home, and it looks back at how the restaurant came to be. The wine list received a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2023.
One recipe from the book is a summer dessert of mixed melon with mint and cucumber sherbet. The sherbet combines cucumber juice with yogurt, and the melon is frozen and scraped into fluffy flakes. Black sesame seeds look like tiny watermelon seeds and add a little crunch. The advice is to start with ripe melon and season by taste.
