During my recent trip home to visit my family in the San Francisco Bay Area my son and I made a visit to Tyler Florence's store in Mill Valley, California.
The town of Mill Valley is located a bit north of San Francisco.
September and October days in SF can be surprisingly beautiful, clear and warm. This day was no exception.
If you're coming to visit ~ try to be here in Autumn; the weather is generally more temperate than other months.
The store is reminiscent of the good old Williams-Sonoma of 30 years ago when Chuck Williams was piloting the helm. Tyler's store is warm, welcoming and well stocked with a wonderful selection of most any equipment you might need for cooking or entertaining, along with plenty of hand-selected antique and vintage items.
My clever son. :)
No Tyler sitings but we had a fine time shopping and visiting with the friendly staff.

MMMMmmmm! I shouldn't sink to this level but he looks good enough to eat !
ReplyDeleteI have become tired of many of the Food TV "stars". Many have succumbed to loving their celebrity status and have become egotists. NOT Tyler Florence...he cooks with enthusiasm and relish. He's energetic and fun ! He's one of the few I watch.
Oh thank you for sharing about your trip. It was a great day for you and your son all the way around! Very cute of the photo looking like he was holding the fork! Always a delight to visit you. Your photos are always so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHugs and glitter,
Patti
That looks like my favorite kind of store, run by my favorite kind of guy - a cute one who cooks.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea he had a store in the SF Area, I am going up to visit my daughter and m-n-law for Thanksgiving, and I think we will have to take a little visit to Mill Valley....Tyler is adorable. and your blog is great!
ReplyDeleteA Tyler Florence store!...and fairly close...well, a five hour drive! How fun to be able to walk through this shop. I am going to have to do this! Thank you!
