Hands-on experience
at top restaurants
made all the
difference for local
chef John Shelsta
Q F O O D F E AT U R E
I
t all started with a grilled cheese sandwich: two slices of Wonderbread, Kraft cheese singles and some Mrs. Dash seasoning.
John Shelsta said he was a 24-year-old with no clear path,
beyond a plan to enlist in the U.S. Army if he couldn’t decide on a
career by age 25. But the friend who ate the grilled cheese sandwich
offered a revelation that would change his life: “Wow, you should
cook for a living.”
One week later, Shelsta was enrolled in culinary school.
Shelsta is now running the kitchen at Howie’s Artisan Pizza in
Redwood City with several years of cooking and baking experience
at top Peninsula and San Francisco spots under his belt. And Shelsta
is a self-made chef: Despite his initial enrollment in culinary school,
he soon dropped out, finding the experience of working in kitchens
much more impactful (and less expensive) than the classroom.

John Shelsta found his calling in the
kitchen. After years of learning on the job,
he’s now chef at the new Howie’s Artisan
Pizza in Redwood City.

Weekend
Continued from previous page
Chef John Shelsta says he hopes to open a top-notch pastry shop on the Peninsula one day.
Shelsta, who grew up in Menlo Park, remembers early exposure to cooking from scratch
at his private middle school,
Waldorf School of the Peninsula in Los Altos Hills, where
farming and gardening are
central to school curriculum.
Shelsta said his middle-school
classes would cook meals from
the school garden five days a
week. Shelsta went on to attend
Menlo-Atherton High School,
but graduated from Sequoia
High School.
Fast-forward to his first day
as a culinary student at the
Art Institute of California in
Sunnyvale, when Shelsta asked
a friend who used to work in
restaurants if he knew any
local places where he could
work for free. His friend set
him up at Marché, a nowshuttered fine-dining French
restaurant in downtown Menlo
Park. Marché, named one of
the top 25 restaurants in the
Bay Area by the Michelin
Guide, closed in 2011.
“My first day of culinary
school was my first day in a
restaurant and I instantly fell
in love,” Shelsta said.
He said he spent nearly all
waking hours of the next year
on cooking. He would get up
at 5 a.m. to get to culinary
school by 6 a.m., finish by 2
p.m., work at Marché until 10
or 11 p.m., go home and do
homework, and do it all over
again the next day. Sometimes he would go in early to
Marché to test out recipes he
had read about.
But school was taking a
financial toll, and Shelsta questioned whether finishing the
program was worth it.
“For me, I don’t feel like it’s
very practical or necessary for
the culinary field because with
or without a degree you always
start in the same place: $10 an
hour, peeling vegetables, cleaning lettuce,” Shelsta said. “I
even asked some of my teachers
at my school. I said, ‘You know,
if I had a year experience in a
kitchen or if I had just finished
culinary school, if there was
one of each of us, who would
you rather hire?’ Half the
teachers were like, ‘The person
with one year (of) experience
because they already know
what they’re doing.’”
Howie Bulka, then the owner
of Marché, became Shelsta’s
mentor and urged him to quit
school. Shelsta said he spent a
lot of time cold-calling restaurants, asking if they needed
any volunteer help so he could
gain experience.

Weekend
Shelsta remained close to
Bulka. He helped to open the
first Howie’s at Town & Country Village, went on a hiatus
to cook elsewhere, and then
returned as a sous chef for a
year and a half. He was starting
to get into baking, and Bulka
urged him to dedicate a year to
learning about pastry.
Shelsta spent what must have
been a glorious year working in pastry at various spots
throughout the Bay Area. First
up was a startup bakery in San
Francisco called Tell Tale Preserve Company. Don’t recognize the name? Founder William Werner’s next venture is
better known, the wildly popular Craftsman and Wolves.
Next, Shelsta spent about
a year working one-on-one
with San Francisco pastry darling Belinda Leong — before her
name would become synonymous with her masterful kouign
amanns, currently sold out of
her brick-and-mortar Pacific
Heights bakery, b. patisserie.
Leong, who started her career
at Gary Danko in San Francisco and left a post at Manresa in Los Gatos to pursue
her own dreams, was an “open
book with all of her knowledge,” Shelsta said. She encouraged his creative freedom and
growth, allowing him to come
in early or stay late to use her
equipment to experiment.
“I think with Belinda what I
really learned is not trying to
over-complicate things,” Shelsta said. “I think sometimes
people, especially now, try to
make things really fancy and
almost overdress things, when
at the end of the day, people
like the classics because they’re
tried and true and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
Just as Leong found the
space for b. patisserie, Shelsta’s
culinary school loans were
catching up with him and he
left for a higher-paying job. He
spent time as the pastry chef
at Michelin-starred Chez TJ in
Mountain View and the nowclosed Station 1 in Woodside
before returning to help Bulka
open Howie’s No. 2 in downtown Redwood City.
On Shelsta’s days off — or
when he should be sleeping —
you might find him slaving
over a sourdough bread recipe
or agonizing over how to make
the perfect lemon loaf. When
he first started making bread,
he said he went through close
to 500 pounds of f lour in six
or seven months. He would
work all night, drive home and
then bake until the wee hours
of the morning.
And Howie’s is bearing the
fruits of this labor. On weekends, Shelsta bakes several
special pastries that appear
sula, and he’s hard-pressed to
give you an answer. He does
mention Voyageur du Temps
in Los Altos, but otherwise,
he drives up to San Francisco
to places like b. patisserie or
Neighbor Bakehouse.
“It’s kind of unfortunate that
the Peninsula, it’s kind of lacking. There are some big gaps in
that field,” he said.
Perhaps Shelsta will be the
one to change that. He said
he plans to spend a few more
years at Howie’s before opening
his own restaurant with an inhouse bakery on the Peninsula.
“In a perfect world, I would
love to see that be my next
step — to open up something
around here, to service the community I grew up in,” he said.

on the brunch menu. It’s an
iteration of pop-up bake sales
Shelsta started doing several
years ago, first at the parking lot outside Station 1 in
Woodside, and later at Zola in
Palo Alto. Shelsta got to know
Zola chef-owner Guillaume
Bienaimé at Marché, and also
helped open the French restaurant last year.
On a recent weekend morning, the “breakfast bakeshop” at
Howie’s was serving up whole
wheat toast, buttermilk biscuits
(the recipe is provided on the
back of the brunch menus),
toasted English muffins, blueberry muffins, cinnamon streusel coffee cake and, of course,
kouign amann ($3.50 each).
Don’t miss the kouign amanns,
a flaky, buttery puff pastry-like
delicacy coated with caramelized sugar. Shelsta learned from
the greats, and it shows.
The muffin and coffee cake
were not too sweet, and walk
the fine line between density
and moistness.
Order the “two eggs as you
like them” brunch entree, and
you’ll get to choose one of the
baked goods as a side dish. I
highly recommend the whole
wheat toast and buttermilk
biscuits — perfect vehicles
for butter, jam and sopping
up the yolks from two perfectly poached eggs. The toast
particularly stood out with a
chewy, soft density reminiscent
of sourdough bread.
Other pastries that have made
an appearance on the weekend
brunch menu include chocolate
croissants, bacon and onion
brioche tarts, and fruit custard brioche tarts. Perhaps at
a future date diners will see
the perfect lemon pound cake
Shelsta has been tirelessly tinkering with in his spare time.
Everything at Howie’s is
made from scratch and built
upon the philosophy of “simple
things done impeccably well,”
Shelsta said.
Ask Shelsta where he goes for
a quality pastry on the Penin-

The bite in the Apple
‘STEVE JOBS’ DOCUMENTARY A HARSH APPRAISAL
00 1/2 (Aquarius)
Prolific documentarian Alex
Gibney has, in various films,
tackled WikiLeaks and Enron,
the Catholic Church and Lance
Armstrong, Scientology and
Sinatra. Now, his skeptical, withering gaze has landed on Steve
Jobs, Apple’s co-founder (and
erstwhile chairman and CEO),
resulting in the part-film essay,
part hatchet-job “Steve Jobs: The
Man in the Machine.”
Longtime Palo Alto resident
Jobs remains one of the most
famous American public figures
of our time, one of the main men
credited for shoring up modern
Silicon Valley and sustaining its
tech boom. Gibney sets out by
taking Jobs’ “genius” as a given,
only perfunctorily investigating
and defining it. The filmmaker
devotes most of his new film’s
running time to Jobs’ ruthlessness in his professional and personal lives, his demons and his
sins.
This is the man behind the
machines: a man who stole
credit and compensation not
owed to him, a man who initially
denied parentage of his daughter
and only reluctantly offered her
financial and emotional support, a man who outsourced
production and countenanced
endangerment of his employees
abroad, a slave-driver insensitive to employees and lovers,
and a Machiavellian capitalist
who violated ethics by hiding his
financial crimes and, in the end,
his terminal illness.
“Steve Jobs: The Man in the
Machine” has the slick production values we’ve come to expect
out of the Gibney pipeline, and
each dark episode in Jobs’ life
unfolds coherently in Gibney’s
own narration, expertly culled
vintage footage and incisive
COURTESY NORMAN SEEFF
Documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney sets his sights on Steve Jobs with
an incisive look at the Apple founder’s dark side. “Steve Jobs: The Man
in the Machine” draws upon interviews and archival footage for its
portrait of the Silicon Valley icon.
talking-head interviews with
various of Jobs’ intimates. It
may help to view “The Man in
the Machine” as a cinematic
essay, framed as it is by Gibney
wondering aloud why strangers so felt the 2011 loss of Jobs,
what his machines mean to us,
and how to reconcile the man’s
contradictions as a self-styled
spiritual creative who practiced
a rapacious selfishness with
money, power, prestige and
legacy.
These are good questions, but
Gibney’s film feels less than evenhanded in name-checking Jobs
as a “genius” without spending
any time meaningfully exploring Jobs’ personal contributions
to the products so many of us, in
Gibney’s word, “love.” As such,
no one will mistake the film as
definitive, except as a catalog
of Jobs’ worst behavior. Most
viewers will probably already
know most of the dirt Gibney
dredges back up here, whether
through recent years of journalism, Walter Isaacson’s bestselling
bio or the biopic starring Ashton
Kutcher (stay tuned for this fall’s
take on Jobs with Michael Fassbender starring).
In the film’s most striking
moment, former Apple engineer
Bob Belleville describes how,
for better and worse, he played
a key role in Apple history but
suffered mightily in his personal
life for the privilege. We can see
Belleville, in real time, balancing
his bitterness against his pride,
and then something remarkable
happens: He breaks down in
wistful tears in remembrance of
Jobs’ inspiring force of personality. And there we recognize
what’s missing from the rest of
Gibney’s two-hour-plus bummer. For those who don’t yet
know of Jobs’ dark side, Gibney’s
documentary will be a useful
eye-opener, but those looking to
understand what made Jobs great
in almost equal proportion to his
nastiness will remain in the dark.

QMOVIEREVIEWS
GRANDMA 000
Paul Weitz’s “Grandma” is a tailor-made
vehicle for Lily Tomlin, who plays a feminist poet and professor in Elle Reid, now
stewing in depression and anger. Haunted
by memories of a longtime companion,
Elle ruefully dumps her decades-younger
girlfriend and former student (Judy Greer)
at the film’s outset. When Elle’s granddaughter, Sage (Julia Garner), arrives to
beg a loan to pay for an abortion, the diehard feminist grandma quickly agrees to
help. Strapped financially herself, Elle has
to revisit her past to find the money. The
ensuing road trip lines up an impressive
series of guest stars, including a mystery
man (Sam Elliott) and Sage’s mother, Judy
(Marcia Gay Harden). The early scenes
work to establish Elle’s cranky bona fides,
but once she’s going toe-to-toe with Elliott
and the always-on-fire Harden, we get the
deeply felt, nuanced performances promised by the nascent Oscar buzz. Rated R
for language and some sexual references.

A WALK IN THE WOODS
00
In Ken Kwapis’ adaptation of the travel
book “A Walk in the Woods,” writer
Bill Bryson (Robert Redford) decides
to satisfy his latest wanderlust with a
five-month hike of the entire 2,118-mile
Appalachian Trail. His wife of 40 years,
Catherine (Emma Thompson), insists that
it’s not safe to go alone, so Bryson calls his
friends. To his chagrin, only a non-invitee
responds. The pseudonymous Stephen
Katz exhibits the ill health of a sedentary
alcoholic, conveyed effortlessly by a
grizzled Nick Nolte. These grumpy old men
are agreeable company, much as the film
is agreeably scenic, and there’s something
potentially fresh in the film’s “75 is the
new 55” attitude. But in addition to an
awkward climax of sudden seriousness,
the few funny bits and sharp lines only
amount to fool’s gold scattered around
a claim that never satisfactorily pays off.
Rated R for language and some sexual
DIARY OF A TEENAGE
GIRL000 1/2
September 11, 2001
Many Americans prefer to pretend adolescent female desire doesn’t exist. Respect,
then, to writer-director Marielle Heller for
her adaptation of the novel, “The Diary
of a Teenage Girl.” A smart, naive and
red-blooded 15-year-old, protagonist
Minnie Goetze finds herself doing an
end-run around her oblivious mother,
Charlotte (Kristen Wiig), in initiating an
affair with mom’s 35-year-old boyfriend,
Monroe (Alexander Skarsgård). In Heller’s
honest and nuanced presentation, Minnie doesn’t fall into the archetype of a
sick nymphet or victim, and Monroe isn’t
simply branded as a creep. While they’re
almost certainly making a mistake, it’s
the kind of mistake they’re likely to look
back on with a rueful appreciation of how
it shaped their characters. Rated R for
strong sexual content including dialogue,
graphic nudity, drug use, language and
drinking — all involving teens. One hour,
42 minutes. — P.C.
From Before the Sunrise

We Will Remember
…We Will Never Forget.
WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS 0
The Victims,
Their Families,
The First Responders.
In what feels a lot like “Entourage,
Jr.,” the electronic dance music-themed
drama “We Are Your Friends” centers on
23-year-old DJ Cole Carter (Zac Efron),
who dreams of making it big in Los
Angeles. He gets his chance when worldrenowned DJ James Reed (Wes Bentley)
deigns to take him under his wing. To
complicate things, Cole flirts with James’
girlfriend and personal assistant, Sophie
(Emily Ratajkowski), and the two end up
running around in a music-video-esque
montage that resolves in a hotel-suite
love scene. The passage displays the
film’s consistent tendency for visual cliches: Nearly every scene looks and feels
like an advertisement. “We Are Your
Friends” constitutes a naked attempt
to commodify youth culture via the big
screen. Rated R for language throughout, drug use, sexual content and some
nudity. One hour, 36 minutes. — P.C.
