Outside Lands' food lineup just got a luxe upgrade
For the first time, all Outside Lands attendees will have the opportunity to indulge in an expanded selection of caviar offerings during the San Francisco music festival. 'Caviar is having a major moment right now,' Tanya Kollar, food curator for Outside Lands, told the Chronicle. 'I want everyone to be able to experience and appreciate caviar, from longtime fans to newbies adding it on to their favorite festival food.' Last year marked the first time that the delicacy had been offered in a general admission section of the event. Prior to that, it had only been served in the Golden Gate Club, which costs more than $5,000 for three-day access. But for the 17th edition of the three-day outdoor concert in Golden Gate Park, set for Aug. 8-10, the Caviar Co. is making its Wine Lands debut. The women-owned brand, which has a store in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood and a restaurant in Tiburon, will serve hot dogs topped with Kaluga hybrid caviar and pickled shallots on pain au lait buns from Oakland bakery Firebrand. Outside Lands wine curator Peter Eastlake said he will create pairings for Caviar Co., featuring Roederer Estate Brut and Roederer Bon Vivant Brut Rosé, among others. Also in the general admission section, Mission District Lebanese fusion pop-up Ilna will sell a chips and caviar dish — featuring kishk labne, buttermilk bulgur and ikura — while world-renowned Japanese restaurant Nobu plans to offer a caviar enhancement option for its mixed sashimi chirashi bowls. Organizers declined to share prices for the food items. New to VIP festivalgoers are Parker House rolls with crème fraîche and caviar from Angler, the Michelin-starred seafood restaurant on Embarcadero and sister restaurant to two-Michelin-starred Saison in South Beach. Another new addition is the festival's first-ever coffee-pop up, Poorboy. The Outer Richmond coffee hot spot will offer treats such as brown sugar lattes and sourdough cinnamon rolls in the VIP section. Meanwhile, Golden Gate Club ticketholders will once again have access to caviar service provided by the Caviar Co., featuring white sturgeon and Kaluga hybrid caviar. Each variety sells for $100 and $130 per ounce, respectively, but will be included with club admission. The Tenderloin's popular Brenda's French Soul Food, as well as Peruvian-Eritrean eatery Michoz and Mexican restaurant Pedro's, both of which are based in the East Bay, are also on the food lineup.

Russian air defences down two more Ukrainian drones en route to Moscow, mayor says
MOSCOW, May 7 (Reuters) - Russian air defence forces downed two Ukrainian drones flying towards Moscow, the city's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said on Wednesday. Earlier on Wednesday the Telegram channel Shot, which has sources in Russia's law enforcement agencies, reported that one drone had been downed in the Moscow region, while several others had been destroyed over the neighbouring Kaluga region. Russia's aviation watchdog said that the Zhukovsky airport in the Moscow region outside the capital and the main airport in the city of Kaluga south of Moscow had been temporarily closed. The Russian capital is preparing to host more than 20 world leaders at a Red Square military parade on Friday to mark the victory of the Soviet Union and its allies over Nazi Germany. Some of the leaders, like China's Xi Jinping, flew into Russia on Wednesday.
