Steaks are
prominent on
revamped menu
at Marché
Quietly
stylish
By Dale F. Bentson
H ago he revamped the menu of his Marché
oward Bulka finally gave in. Several weeks
restaurant in downtown Menlo Park.
Mr. Bulka had relied on a French-fashioned
menu with international twists, but most of his
patrons seemed to favor something more basic.
Finally, he said, “I realized about 70 percent of the
meals we are serving are steaks. So, I addressed it.”
The new menu consists of six principal offerings, of which half are steaks. Even so, Mr. Bulka
has infused the plates with Asian and South
American nuances. In addition, the restaurant
recently installed a $10,000 Montague broiler
to make the best
possible steaks. It’s
that kind of commitment to quality
that has been Mr.
Bulka’s gastronomic
signature for years.
Born in Chicago but reared in west Los Angeles,
Mr. Bulka came north to study creative writing
at San Francisco State. One day he decided to
become a chef instead, and that ignited a career
that took him from Europe to Asia.
He did a turn in Los Angeles, studied under Paul
Boucouse and the late chef Alain Chapel in France,
worked a wok line in Hong Kong, and did a stint as
executive chef at the Mandarin Hotel’s acclaimed
Silks in San Francisco. Mr. Bulka worked the next
decade as a restaurant consultant. The wanderlust
eventually subsided, and, in late 2001, he and business partner Lee Isgur opened Marché.
Designed by Terry Hunzinger of Seattle,
Marché is quietly elegant, contemporary and
understated. Muted yellows, earthy tans and
browns add to the sophisticated expression. Dark
wood plantation blinds shelter diners from Santa
Cruz Avenue. Three oversized lampshades cast a
warm glow to the interior.
There are both tables and padded booths as
well as a separate Chef’s Room that seats 10, and
a banquet room for larger parties. Both the Chef’s
Room and the booths allow glassed-off peeks
into the active kitchen. White linens, fresh roses
and candles complete the decor. It is a soothing,
nurturing space to dine.
Before the appetizers arrived, the chef sent an
amuse bouche of gruyere cheese-infused pastries
to whet our appetites. For starters, the house-cured
Arctic char ($14) was a tempting version of gravlax.
Gravlax is a Swedish invention of salmon cured
in sugar, salt and dill, thin sliced and served cold.
Marché presented it with a cornmeal blini, dill
creme fraiche, minced red onion and sieved egg.
I liked the green garlic soup ($11), its silky

Under the elegant lights of Marché restaurant,
John Sanders prepares for the dinner crowd.
MARCHÉ
continued from page 29
texture born of pureed white rice. It was topped
with house-made chorizo, crispy tortilla strips
and queso Cotija, a semi-hard cow’s cheese from
Mexico. My sole complaint was that the spoon
was too short for the bowl and kept sliding into
the soup. I had problems managing the utensils of
several dishes, which were too awkward for some
of the oddly shaped plates.
The Sweet Gem Louis Salad ($12) was satisfying.
Sweet Dungeness crab, chopped egg and golden
beets were dressed in a sublime Louis dressing.
The house-made dressing bore no relation whatsoever to the insipid fish house versions.
For main courses, the pan-roasted halibut ($28)
was delicious. Thick and fleshy, the fish was just
cooked through. Butterball potatoes, leeks and
cipollini onions accompanied. A delightful oyster
cream sauce of slow-cooked white wine, shallots
and pureed oysters topped the dish. Mr. Bulka
likens the sauce to a creamy leek fondue.
The chicken “al Mattone” ($25) is a Tuscan
method of cooking chicken under a brick. The
quartered, bone-in chicken was slow cooked without
losing juices. Marché served the chicken on rustic
bruschetta and complemented it with a red pepper
and leek relish of currants, pine nuts and sherry wine
vinegar with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon zest.
The Wagyu flat iron steak ($26) was melt-inyour-mouth tender. Wagyu is an American-styled
D R I N K
Kobe beef; the word “Wagyu” means “Japanese
cow.” In the U.S., Wagyu have been cross-bred
with Angus to increase their heartiness. The beef
is noted for its marbling, juiciness and tenderness.
Marché recommended the meat be served rare
but my companion wanted hers well done, which
did not compromise flavor or tenderness. The steak
was served with stir-fried matchstick vegetables.
The New York steak ($36) was equally delectable. Thick, marbled and tender, the steak was
grilled to my specifications. Chimichurri — a
thick Argentinean sauce of olive oil, herbs, parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, shallots and jalapeno
pepper — accompanied.
Side dishes are appealing and recommended,
as main dishes don’t come with a lot of frills. My
favorite was the trio of pureed vegetables: butternut squash, English pea and cauliflower with
curry oil. It was plenty for two.
The delta asparagus was fat and sweet, peeled
and boiled to order. The asparagus was flecked
with house-made bacon chunks and topped with
a quail egg. Also delicious was the bucket of pommes frites. All sides are $6.
Desserts ($10) did not disappoint. The buttermilk panna cotta on a pineapple banana
fritter was light and delicate. The rhubarb and
strawberry tart, crusted with walnut streusel and
topped with a soft white cheese and lemon chantilly sauce, was fine but undistinguished.
The burnt caramel chocolate pot de creme was
exceptional. The thick saucy chocolate custard
was topped with chocolate shavings and served
with several mouthwatering warm chocolate chip
cookies. After dessert, the waiter delivered a plate of
miniature brownies with a take-home bag to enjoy
on the way or with the next morning’s cafe au lait.
In addition to the regular menu, there is a chef’s
tasting menu, four-courses, with many options for
$65. When it’s paired with select wines, add $55.
Besides a full bar, Marché offers a stellar, albeit
pricey, wine list. Many of the greatest names in winedom are represented. Luscious white Burgundies
from Domaine Leflaive and an impressive collection
from Domaine de la Romanee-Conti along with
outstanding Bordeaux are offered. Excellent labels
from California and Oregon abound. Many wines are
available by the glass ($9-$17). Corkage fee is $25.
It is an expense-account wine list, but, if you
search, you’ll find something to fit your taste buds
and pocketbook. The professional wait-staff is
happy to assist.
Marché is stylish and pricey. Despite the recent
drift towards steaks, the side dishes and accompaniments are still infused with creativity from a
master chef. Marché is about the best place in town
for that special occasion or that occasional splurge
we need from time to time.

Woodside’s Little Store gets a new owner
A regular at the Little Store
in Woodside told the Almanac
she’s in gustatory heaven now
that Dominique Devillez, formerly of Le Pot au Feu in Menlo
Park, is the owner and operator
of the 100-year-old restaurant
on Woodside Road.
The Little Store is open for
lunch and dinner, Mr. Devillez
said, adding that he expects the
liquor license to arrive soon.
“Every day I check the mailbox,” he said.
Le Pot au Feu, a French bistro and local favorite for some
33 years, closed last year. Mr.
Devillez originally bought the
restaurant in the mid-1980s
and ran it for five years before
selling it to Norton and Lila
Pearl. When the Pearls retired in
2002, Mr. Devillez took over the
operation.
Former Little Store operators
Dick and Lynn Eastley, who ran
the Woodside eatery for almost
five years, closed it in January and
told the Almanac they are no longer associated with the business.
The Little Store is located at
3340 Woodside Road. Call 8518110 for restaurant hours.

We are currently recruiting MEN and WOMEN
who have one or more of the following:
Special to the Almanac
I
t’s not enough to know and
enjoy good wine; some individuals feel compelled to collect it.
It starts with a few bottles acquired
on a weekend in Napa and soon
expands to purchasing cases of
first-growth Bordeaux that require
30 or more years to mature.
If this sounds familiar, then
you may have a case of the
highly communicable disease:
AWCS (Acquired Wine Collecting Syndrome).
In the Bay Area, AWCS has
become endemic. K&L Wines
provides wine storage but is
completely full and cannot
accept new customers at its
Redwood City location.
The WineBank in Menlo Park
recently built a second story to
accommodate demand. “Everyone is upgrading to larger lockers. Customers want to store
more and more wine,” says Don
Fox, co-owner of the WineBank
in Menlo Park.
Home Depot, Costco, and
even Target sell wine mini-cellars for the AWCS-afflicted who
prefer to keep their collections
close to home but can’t afford
an underground cellar.
AWCS is highly contagious
and is transmitted via consumption of fine wine. Individuals are often infected at
a tasting of 1982 Bordeaux or
1990 red Burgundy. Once the
disorder becomes full blown,
the afflicted soon find themselves at monthly wine tastings
with other victims of AWCS.
Common symptoms
L Elevated LDL-Cholesterol (> 130 mg/dL)
L Elevated blood pressure (>120/80 mmHg)
L Some extra weight (roughly 15-100 lbs overweight)
And do not take any cholesterol, blood pressure, or diabetes medications
Not sure about your cholesterol level or blood pressure?
We will measure it for you!
These two separate 8-week studies will investigate
the potential health benefits of
dietary antioxidants and omega-3 fats
For more information or to fill out a brief eligibility survey on-line, visit our website,
www.nutrition.stanford.edu, or contact us at: 650-736-8577
You will receive free cholesterol and blood pressure screenings,
and free study results if you enroll
(No monetary compensation)
32 ■ The Almanac ■ June 6, 2007
You know you’ve been afflicted
when these symptoms appear:
■ Sudden urges to acquire
more and better wine.
■ Subscribing to the Wine
Advocate.
■ Enjoying acquisition more
than consumption.
■ Debating whether to store
wine at 56 or 57∞F.
■ Purchasing cases of 2003
vintage port that will never
mature in our lifetime.
■ Mortgaging a home to buy
the 2005 Bordeaux vintage.
■ Joining multiple winery
“member lists.”
■ Renting temperature-controlled wine storage lockers.
■ Boasting of owning 100
point wines.
Insatiable collecting
condition
The most common ailment
of the suffering individual is
the constant craving to acquire
more wine, resulting in permanent damage to the pocketbook.
WINE
PRESS
Mark Chamness
has been a winemaker for 11 years
and owns a vineyard
in the East Bay. He
lives in Menlo Park
with his family. You
can contact him at markchamness@
yahoo.com.
It’s easy to calculate the
maximum collection size that
any rational person should
keep. Most age-worthy wines
reach maturity within 20 years.
Typically, one bottle would be
pulled from the cellar every
week over a 20 year period and
new wines would be consumed
on the remaining days.
Such a scenario would require
a rotating collection of 1,040 bottles. Incredibly, some WineBank
customers store more than 12,000
bottles, not including 75,000
bottles kept at home. There is no
clearer symptom of AWCS.
Allure of wine
Individuals suffering from the
disorder are highly attracted to
wine bottles of all shapes and sizes.
It is currently unknown why the
afflicted are drawn to wine, as
opposed to rocks, coins or stamps.
“Wine is more popular in
California as a collecting target
because we make it here and
it is not made in many places
at the highest quality level.
Collectors here have access to
high-quality, extremely limited
wines (Screaming Eagle, Pride
Mountain, etc.) that collectors
elsewhere do not,” suggests J.P.
Miller of Portola Valley. “Thus,
they have a real inside edge on
the ultimate bragging rights.”
Mr. Fox hypothesizes a predisposition to AWCS. “I think
that the people who get into the
collecting aspect in a fanatic way
were probably collectors of other
things, possibly as kids.”
Search for a cure
There is no known cure for
AWCS, although some individuals appear to have natural
immunity. It has been observed
that progression of the disease
is often slowed during periods

Singapore chili

Comida Fresca! Salsa Caliente!
Mom is cooking at Menlo Park’s Shiok!
By Sheila Himmel
Special to the Almanac
R
osalind Tan has always run
the kitchen at Shiok!, the
popular Singaporean cafe
in downtown Menlo Park, but
now she runs the whole show. The
show goes on rather nicely.
For many customers, the public face of the
cafe was Tan’s
daughter, Maggie Lim, but as
of March, Lim
is taking a backstage role as business manager.
Shiok! (SHEE-uk, Singaporean
for “Yummy!) remains a welcoming, mid-priced respite featuring
the Malay, Indian and Chinese
dishes of tiny but influential Singapore. Our young waiter, who
turned out to be Tan’s nephew,
answered questions, made good
suggestions, and anticipated needs.
We brought in wine. He took it to
a cooler and came by at just the
right moment to ask if we wanted
it opened. The restaurant also has
a reasonable wine list of its own.
Lim grew up in Serangoon Gardens, an area of Singapore known
especially for its open-air markets
and food vendors. Tan cooked
large family dinners every Sunday,
often using the family chickens,
and developed her own style.
The flexible menu here includes
a lot of small plates that could
be assembled to make a full
meal. In Malaysian beef rendang
($7), chunks of braised beef have
crunchy spots on the outside and
no fat. They are stewed in aromatic
lemongrass and hot chili, tamed
by coconut milk. Chinese pepper
prawns ($8), stir-fried with chili
and dried shrimp, are so appealing
you will be sad to leave the shells.
On the takeout menu, the beef is
$10.75 and the prawns are $12.75
because the portions are bigger.
Sambal string beans ($8.75),
sauteed in chili and dried shrimp,
retain their crispness.
The most expensive dish is a
whole crab, sauteed in spicy-sweet
chili sauce or in dried shrimp and
cracked black
pepper. The
divine Singapore
chili crab, which
was $24 in 2000,
now is $26. You
can sop up the
sauce with a side
order of buttery sweet buns ($3),
or choose a less assertive rice. (Jasmine, brown and coconut rice are
on offer.)
At lunch, the menu features rice
and noodle plates for $6.95.
We were having a varied configuration of flavors in seafood, beef
and vegetable dishes, but we didn’t
want plain rice. The server wisely
suggested Nasi Goreng ($8.50), the
Malaysian-style fried rice. It has
calamari, prawns, peas, carrots,
egg, onion and a mild personality
that mixes well with others.
Each dish is labeled by its heritage. Many are vegetarian, or can
be made vegetarian.
The irresistible unleavened Indian bread roti ($4) is a starter that
can easily become an ender. Try
not to fill up on buttery griddled
bread, charred in spots, that you
tear apart. The only flaw is the thin
dipping sauce, which needed more
depth of flavor and some girth.
The only real loser was a new dish,
Chinese five-spice duck ($12.75).
The tasty braising sauce pepped up
slices of tofu but couldn’t rescue dry
pieces of duck breast.
Sea bass is perfectly steamed
in banana leaves ($17.75), in a
stunning broth with shiitake
mushrooms, ginger, tomato and
red pepper. But a little more fish
would be nice.
Desserts are cooling, summertime treats, as you would want in
a climate that has been likened to
“one giant sauna.” Champagneinfused lychee, Malaysian crepes
and fried banana each are $5.50.
Bite into a hot, crisp egg roll on
your way to steaming banana,
near pudding in consistency. Fried
banana comes with the tropical ice
cream of your choice.
Another good way to end the
meal is with sweet and pungent
ginger tea ($1.50). Everyone gets
gum, once completely banned in
Singapore because of the mess it
made on the streets. Now you
can chew medicinal gum, with a
prescription.

Private, public funds bolster a noteworthy enterprise
Menlo Parks schools’ music program grows by leaps and bounds
By Marjorie Mader
Almanac Staff Writer
M
enlo Park schools are alive with
the sounds of music from kindergarten through eighth grade,
thanks to a mix of public and private
funding that has allowed them to avoid
the deep cuts many Bay Area schools have
had to make in recent years.
The Menlo Park City School District’s
music program has grown steadily with
an infusion of funding from the 2000
parcel tax, Jeanie Ritchie grants to teachers, and the Menlo Park-Atherton Education Foundation.
Every child in the district’s four schools
— Laurel, Encinal, Oak Knoll and Hillview Middle — now has the opportunity
to sing in a group, learn an instrument,
play in a band or orchestra and perform
at concerts.
On Tuesday, June 12, the Hillview concert band travels to AT&T Park to play
the national anthem before the San Francisco Giants game. Hundreds of Menlo
Park students, parents and teachers will
be in the stands. This also is a fundraiser
for the Hillview music program. (For
tickets at $20 each, go to www.the-bandat-the-giants.com.)
“Community support of music and the
arts has enabled the district to expand
music in the elementary schools and
bring three music specialists aboard,”
says Richard Vaughan, “Mr. Music” at
Hillview. The district’s music program
has grown over 100 percent during the
past five years, he said, with the addition of music specialists Bee Tee, John
■ J E A N I E R I T C HIE GRANTS
This school year, 28 Jeanie Ritchie Grants
— awarded to spark creativity in the classroom — were given out to teachers in the
Menlo Park district. The 80 teachers who
were involved in carrying out the grant
programs were honored May 31 at the
annual “Pillars of the Community” event at
Holbrook-Palmer Park in Atherton. A complete list of the grants will be published in a
future edition of the Almanac.
Post news
and views on
Ashcroft and Mr. Vaughan joining Bob
Crabb.
Students in all elementary grades have
75 minutes of music each week. Music
specialists have introduced German
composer Carl Orff’s music education
program for children, which combines
movement, singing, playing percussive
instruments and improvisation.
Fourth- and fifth-graders can choose
band, orchestra or the choral music program that meets twice a week. Students
don’t need to have their own instruments. They may borrow an instrument
from the district’s “instrument bank” to
use as their own during the school year.
“There’s an interest in having a choral
music program at Hillview, but it’s a
matter of scheduling and space,” says Mr.
Vaughan.
The instrumental music program
broadens at Hillview Middle School to
include orchestra, band and jazz band.
This year, Mr. Vaughan started a new
“School Rock” program as an elective for
seventh- and eighth-graders.
“The students form rock ‘n’ roll bands,
write original compositions and perform
classic rock — Led Zeppelin, Green Day
and Red Hot Chili Peppers,” says Mr.
Vaughan. There’s also a fiddle club that
meets at noon. Forming a “garage band”
next year is being considered.
Mr. Vaughn has received a Jeanie Ritchie
Grant every year since he joined the district. These grants are unique, he says,
because they give opportunities to bring
artists, such as “Crosspulse,” the dynamic
Bay Area percussion group, to perform at
all the schools for all grade levels .
“Bridging the World with Rhythm,”
the title of this year’s Jeanie Ritchie
grant, took students on a “musical world
tour” as they participated in “Crosspulse” assemblies and then in smaller
workshops with the musicians and their
classroom teacher. They learned the African Cha Cha and the “hambone,” played
African drums, had fun, and gained an
understanding of how music from Africa
has influenced the Americas.
A year ago, another Ritchie grant
brought the Turtle Island String Quartet

Encinal principal
Stacy Marshall
resigns her post
■ Menlo Park district
begins search for
successor.

By Marjorie Mader
Almanac Staff Writer

ncinal Principal Stacy Marshall submitted her resignation May 24 after being on
pregnancy disability and childrearing leave since last October.
She cited her new role as the
mother of twins as the reason for
her decision to resign as principal
of the grade 3-5 school in Atherton, according to Ken Ranella,
superintendent of the Menlo
Park City School District.
Mr. Ranella said the district
will begin an “open recruitment
process” for the next Encinal
principal, similar to the process
used by the district historically
for principals and district-level
administrators. He expects the
search could be completed by
early July.
“We are certainly encouraging Maria Clemo, who has performed admirably as the interim
principal this year, beginning
midterm, to become a candidate
for the permanent position,”
Mr. Ranella said.
Ms. Clemo was vice principal
at the district’s Oak Knoll School
when she was tapped to fill the
interim principal position at
Encinal. She had taught previously at Encinal and had administrative responsibilities there.
“We are proud of her development from teacher to administrator in the district and recognize her as a capable educator
and administrator,” the superintendent said.
Ms. Marshall was acknowledged
by Mr. Ranella for two accomplishments. She led the staff in a
“remarkable improvement of students’ achievement” as evidenced
by the state test scores, and she
facilitated Encinal’s attaining the
California Distinguished Schools
Award last year.
While on leave, Ms. Marshall
wrote and submitted the necessary application for Encinal to
become a national Blue Ribbon
School, said the superintendent.
The results will be announced in
the fall.
The selection process for a
permanent principal will reflect
the specific needs of Encinal. The
school will expand substantially
during the next few years from 386
students in grades 3-5 this year to
a K-5 school with an enrollment of
nearly 700 students. Construction
will begin this summer to prepare

oyally situated behind a gated entry, this palatial residence conjures images of the fortified estates in the Olde English countryside that
served as self-contained retreats for the Elizabethan court. The picture-perfect brick Tudor mansion, with over 16,000 square feet, features
grand dimensions that are immediately evident in the two-story reception gallery and enormous formal living and dining rooms. Organized
around a central garden courtyard, the living areas include a tremendous family room with fireplace, a sun-drenched octagonal breakfast room, a
professionally equipped chef ’s kitchen, a home theatre, and a billiards room. 7 bedrooms and 8 full bathrooms are arranged over two levels and are
augmented by a two-story 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom staff or guest chalet complete with a
fireplace and full kitchen. Outside, the park-like level gardens blend tranquil groves of
trees with formal plantings and vast stretches of level lawn, all enclosed by high brick
walls and mature perimeter trees, and threaded with romantic strolling paths. Enhancing
the ambiance of a stately home, the property includes a pool pavilion, a detached 4-car
garage with a lower-level recreation room, a large, historic barn, and a tennis court.
