Bay Area pizza is definitely having a moment — and June’s Pizza is right at the center of it in West Oakland. A fine dining philosophy layered into an everyday favorite, pepperoni pizza, results into something very original. Every element is dialed in.

I appreciate owner Craig Murli taking the time to chat during a crazy busy early dinner rush. I scarfed down 3 pieces before I knew it!

Acclaimed chef, restaurateur, and founder Lisa Dahl’s story isn’t just about food — it’s about what happens after unimaginable loss, and how purpose can emerge from it. After her son Justin was murdered in San Francisco in the 1990s while helping someone in need, Lisa rebuilt her life in Sedona, AZ through cooking — and over the past 30 years, creating an acclaimed six-restaurant culinary group that now serves half-a-million guests each year.

In December 2025, she launched the Lisa Dahl Foundation (www.lisadahlfoundation.org) — a 501(c)(3) addressing severe food insecurity in Native American communities across Arizona — anchored by “Soup Hope,” a nutrient-dense, plant-based meal designed to deliver nearly a full day’s nutrition per serving.

Lisa navigates grief and has rebuilt her life with intention and shows how food can be a form of healing and connection. Her success has turned into service to have a lasting impact on all those she feeds. Spirituality, resilience, and purpose-driven leadership is at the heart of everything Lisa Dahl pursues.

Dinner at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Michelin Atelier Crenn with Dominique Crenn is more than an acclaimed tasting menu — it’s a reminder of what’s possible when heart, soul, and artistry lead at the highest levels of intention and creativity.

There’s a rare emotional depth to what Dominique has built. Every course feels poetic and deeply human — a crown jewel of fine dining on the world’s stage that transcends technique and becomes pure expression of beauty.

It was an honor to introduce two extraordinary women — Dominique Crenn and Donna Kato of Adonna Wines — both committed in their singular ways of inspiring joy, plate by plate and glass by glass.

Grateful for the moment, the conversation, and the shared pursuit of excellence. ✨
