This San Ramon Mall Might Be a New Destination for Indian Cuisine in the East Bay
An East Bay mall is about to be a hot spot for phenomenal, laid-back Indian food. The teams behind tremendously popular mini empire Curry Up Now and Michelin Guide-approved Tiya will open a new restaurant together at City Center Bishop Ranch. Khaki will debut for dinner on Thursday, July 31, at 6000 Bollinger Canyon Road in San Ramon, a former Curry Up Now location. This new restaurant will be much more upscale than the typical Indian burrito outlet, though, says Akash Kapoor, founder of Curry Up Now and co-owner at Khaki. Chefs and brothers Sujan and Pujan Sarkar — the former of whom took Chicago's Indienne to one-Michelin-star status — worked with Kapoor to get a comfort food menu with fine dining approaches ready, while Tiya's Eater Award-winning bartender Izler Thomas came in for drinks. Broadly, the menu and approach reflect all three's memories of eating and living in India. 'The menu isn't just food,' Kapoor says, 'it's a lived experience that I've been through and they've been through.' The Bishop Ranch restaurant — referred to as an Indian bar and canteen by the team — will cover all of the regions of India in various ways. As the country is enormous, that survey will take time, convenient as the restaurant's menu will rotate seasonally. A jackfruit cutlet on the debut menu is a play on the common Calcutta street food, Kapoor says, the home region to both Sujan and Pujan. A dry-aged beef dish nods to coastal Karnataka while a Champaran mutton, cooked in an Indian clay pot, showcases the Bihari region of Kapoor's childhood. Bengali fish paturi stars, too, a lighter affair steamed in banana leaf with heavy mustard flavors. Chaat and all kinds of street snacks will dot the scene, too. Across the board, the idea is to plant a big flag for Indian cuisine; the name is a reclamation of the term given to British colonists and their infamous footmen, but khaki itself — a derivative of the Urdu word for soil — is a color brought to the world from India. Neetu Laddha Neetu Laddha Therefore the menu and ambiance pay homage to the era in which India separated itself from colonial rule, the '60s and '70s. Bright, zany colors and tastes that took charge during that time are center stage. Drinks follow suit, showcased with pride at a 14-seater bar. There'll be a Negroni incorporating truffle and goat cheese, which arrives with a cracker, perhaps topping Thomas's Parmesan and sourdough-infused drink at Tiya. Bengal's panch phoron spice, made for pickling, will star in a grapefruit tequila cocktail, riffing on a paloma. Another drink relies on clarified vanilla ice cream, basil, yuzu, and elderflower. Thomas's brother, Roger Thomas, is joining the team here, while Kapoor pitched in thanks to his experience at Curry Up Now's Mortar & Pestle cocktail curation. Kapoor says this former Curry Up Now outpost did decent, but not the numbers he wanted to hit. COVID cratered Bishop Ranch, the workers in the area drying up. He and Sujan were already pals, and he broached the idea of collaborating in 2024. Indian design firm Curry Fwd, the same team behind Tiya's build out, handled the aesthetic which includes three different kinds of hand-drawn wallpapers. They hope the restaurant will be a familiar member of the community, not a place just for anniversaries. Kapoor says while he loves many of the upscale Indian restaurants in town, his favorite San Francisco restaurant is Ernest. He feels it is a restaurant well worth the price, pointing to the reliable $95 tasting menu; Besharam and Heena Patel's cooking shine as well-made and affordable, too. 'We are not in the education business. We're not trying to educate people on how to eat Indian food,' Kapoor says. 'But it's very important to look back and say, 'Okay, this is what we set out to do.' The food's not just for people who make $200,000. The food's got to be honest, man.' Khaki (6000 Bollinger Canyon Road) will open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and until 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday with lunch hours to follow.

Book alleges Gwyneth Paltrow's 'cult' of Goop hid 'difficult,' 'toxic' workplace
Gwyneth Paltrow may be running defense as a temporary spokesperson for Astronomer after its now-former CEO's Coldplay concert drama, but a new biography is more interested in how she runs her own empire. 'Gwyneth' by culture and fashion journalist Amy Odell maps Paltrow from Hollywood nepo baby to household name to controversial wellness figure. The biography is based on interviews with over 220 sources, but Paltrow declined to speak for it. 'Gwyneth' (out now from Simon & Schuster) spans the star's life and includes a behind-the-scenes look at her relationship to Brad Pitt, her marriage and 'conscious uncoupling' to Coldplay's Chris Martin and her journey to Oscar-winning fame. Perhaps the most fascinating peek behind the curtain, however, comes at her career transition to Goop guru. How Gwyneth Paltrow's out-of-touch lifestyle led to Goop If there is one central theme in this deep dive of all things Paltrow, it's the actress' unrelatability extends much farther back than her jade egg shenanigans. When promoting 'Emma' in 1997, Paltrow requested a private plane for herself and 10 friends, a penthouse suite at the Ritz where only her friends would be allowed and Mercedes vehicles to chauffeur her and her friends around, the book says. The plane ride alone cost Miramax $200,000 in today's dollars, Odell writes. And when she filmed 'Shallow Hal' alongside Jack Black, her team requested her lodgings be distant from the rest of the cast and crew. But what kickstarted Paltrow's slide into the luxury wellness sphere was her father's throat cancer. While Bruce Paltrow was in denial about his health, Odell writes, Gwyneth took charge of hers – 'I felt I could heal him by proxy,' Gwyneth wrote in The Guardian. It was around this time that she was promoting 'Shallow Hal' (a poorly aged comedy in and of itself) and began sharing often unfounded comments about her health, like that her liver 'wouldn't drop down' during yoga because of her diet, Odell writes. Around the mid-2000s, she became disillusioned with the film industry and asked her 'Spain… on the Road Again' producer Charlie Pinsky what her next move should be. Her ideas of food and home improvement projects seemed something like 'the next Martha Stewart' to Pinsky, but he insisted she focus on motherhood as her brand, Odell writes. She didn't take his advice. Branding expert Peter Arnell helped her come up with the name and fine-tune the vision for Goop. Biography alleges Goop as a 'sometimes-toxic environment' Behind the scenes of the clean marketing and health promises, employees Odell spoke with described Goop as 'one of the most difficult working environments they had ever encountered.' Odell says the employee said they 'never felt less well in my life than during my time there.' Paltrow had a 'capricious, indirect leadership style' that led to anger and resentment. Her close relationships with some employees 'blurred the lines between professional and personal,' Odell writes – she had her food editor double as a personal chef, making her lunch and even sometimes dinner for her and husband Brad Falchuk. Some employees described the office culture as "noxious and chaotic," Odell writes. She describes writers as overworked and underpaid, expected to be on call at all times, with some employees pulling over on the side of the road while driving to answer work messages. Paltrow offered employees a two-week 'Goopcation' but still expected employees to respond to her messages during that time. Gwyneth Paltrow ruffled feathers at Condé Nast over Goop fact-checking As Goop's influence ballooned, it treaded further and further into debunked wellness fads like vaginal steaming, bone broth diets and vaginal jade eggs (for which Goop was fined $145,000 in 2018 for unsubstantiated medical claims). Paltrow has seen herself as a crusader for little-known women's health topics, though medical experts abhor her 'vigilante health journalism,' Odell writes. According to Odell's reporting, "neither Gwyneth nor Goop's board nor its investors were concerned about these controversies." When Condé Nast and Anna Wintour tapped Goop for a magazine partnership in 2017, the deal fell apart after only two issues because Paltrow and Goop wouldn't comply with Condé Nast's fact-checking standards. There was also a power struggle over whether Paltrow or Wintour had true control over the magazine. Paltrow wanted complete control to promote Goop's merchandise in the magazine, but Condé Nast feared it would alienate advertisers or compromise integrity. Odell reports that Wintour and Paltrow's relationship was a 'lovefest in the early days,' with the media mogul calling Paltrow 'baby' in meetings. But Wintour wanted the stories to be rigorously fact-checked, and Odell writes that Paltrow dismissed any criticism as 'patriarchal,' saying that she was 'finally illuminating truths that other outlets would not' about women's health, even if they weren't backed by science. Experts Odell spoke with for 'Gwyneth' liken Goop to a cult because of the way its foundational wellness beliefs tie into consumers' identities. 'Proponents of wellness have positioned it as necessary opposition to Big Ag and Big Pharma, conveniently ignoring (what) they've created: Big Wellness,' Odell writes.
