TOP 50 RESTAURANTS 2005 - san francisco magazine
I"It's the quintessential wine country diner: a place where the wine flows, the
room hums with good cheer, and the irresistible food keeps everyone coming back for more."
san francisco magazine
"Best chef, sonoma county ... Best cutest darn thing... It’s not ... because her delicious dishes are sourced completely locally from within a half-hour radius. The fact of the matter is that Duskie Estes, co-chef and owner with husband, John Stewart, at both zazu restaurant + farm and healdsburg’s bovolo... Makes our mouths water with culinary creations that leave most diners awestruck. Much of that is due to zazu’s onsite farm, with veggies and greens, and the couple’s flock of chickens, which supply the eggs to make handmade pasta every morning, and their home-cured salumi... What Estes does with the ingredients ... matters the most. It’s the reason why she was featured on the Food Network in 2007 and why Emeril Lagasse calls her a friend."
