Chef Mike Lanham of San Francisco's Anomaly

How does a restaurant become a great restaurant? At Anomaly, the modernist cuisine from owner-chef Mike Lanham and his team reflects a grit honed as much in Michelin-starred restaurant kitchens as at competitive bike races and wrestling matches. This dude is DETERMINED to make his small restaurant succeed. In our chat, Lanham talks about his path to restaurants, why he works out every day, how the pandemic helped launch Anomaly's success, and why an emoji egg – a dish that catapulted Lanham to the front page of San Francisco's food media – remains a sacred menu item.#sfrestaurants @anomaly_sf #funluxury @m_lanham #foodwriterhttps://christinamueller.com@eatdrinkthink
