We're excited to be going to the StarChefs Rising Stars Revue at the Westin St. Francis next Tuesday the 19th. The event showcases several chefs in San Francisco that it considers "rising stars". Having eaten the food of quite a few of these chefs, we'd have to say that the folks at StarChefs are onto something here. The chefs whose dishes we'll be tasting are:

Nate Appleman of A16
We haven't been here yet, but we've been wanting to for a while and we are going this Friday. UPDATE: We went to A16 Friday and it was awesome. We are so excited to eat his food again soon.

Jennifer Biesty of COCO500

Mourad Lahlou of Aziza
We haven't been here yet, either, but we have been meaning to get around to it and are pretty excited to try his food.

Jonah Oakden of The Blue Plate
Haven't been here and in fact, we haven't even heard of it so we can thank StarChefs for bringing this place to our attention.

James Syhabout of PlumpJack Cafe
We LOVE this place. Great food. Very innovative and delicious. We've had the sous-vide foie and are excited to eat it again. Click here for our reviews.

Seiji Wakabayashi of Bushi-Tei
We ate here a month or so ago during the film festival, as it's very close to the Kabuki. We felt it was good, but very expensive. The foie gras with pumpkin custard was delicious. Click here for our review.

Laurence Jossel of NOPA
We're eager to give NOPA another shot as the first time was a bit spotty. Although, they did win an honorable mention for our best soup of 2006 award. Click here for our review.

Peter Rudolph of Campton Place
Haven't been here for no good reason at all. So, we're excited to give it a shot.

Nicole Krasinski, the pastry chef of Rubicon
We went to Rubicon a few weeks ago for the first time and thought it was amazing. We didn't order a dessert, but the petit fours were pretty great. Click here for our review.

Belinda Leong, the pastry chef of Gary Danko
The desserts we had at Gary Danko go down in our personal history as the biggest portions ever. Click here for our review.

Thomas Rimple of The Westin St. Francis
We've eaten at Michael Mina in the Westin St. Francis, but not just the Westin St. Francis itself.

In any case, this event looks like it will be loads of fun--there are also wine pairings. If you are in SF next Tuesday, you might want to check it out.
