1. A Creole and soul food pop-up that settled into Au Lounge in downtown Oakland, and honestly the room is better for it. Chef Smelly draws on his Creole roots to put out garlicky Dungeness crab, blackened shrimp, and fried chicken that'll have you loosening your belt before the platter hits the table. Come hungry, come with someone you're comfortable belching garlic in front of, and you'll be just fine.
