	November 22	Lunch	Ecco SF	John Tariot	footage.net	CEO	Ecco is a Digerati Diner on South Park, a place to see the front liners in the digital revolution. The food is good but relies too much on salt for flavor.	"With your help, our site will be the premiere place for on-line digital video clips."

The food and service are excellent.	"Trying to get companies like Microsoft and Netscape to agree on anything is definitely a challenge. Knowing millions of dollars are at stake freaks me out a little, but it keeps things from getting bogged down in pure academics."
	December 6	Lunch	Valentine's SF	Tim Morgan	Digital Dreams	President	This enchanting, intimate vegetarian on Church street has heavenly everything, and a killer Sunday brunch.	"With Surftalk, you just tell your computer where you want to go. Just say 'Go highfive' and you're there. No hands required!"

	December 13	Dinner	Ti-Couz SF	Shuji Utsumi	Sega America	Vice President, Product Development	This country French creperie has almost nothing for pure vegetarians, but the atmosphere is great, and the flaming Grand-Marnier crepes are probably delicious.	"My office is filled every day with groups of engineers who say they can create the next game platform architecture."
	December 16	Lunch	A cute sandwich shop in SOMA SF	Kirsten Linley and Justin Cady		web site designers	It's great, but I forget where it is, sorry.	"We've found that the small jobs are the most difficult, and the bigger clients just want their site done right."

"Thanks to Gino, Sparky, Hussein, Todd, Brian, Nancy, Christina, Purvi, Mary, Kolin, and Jennifer for making Verso's first year a huge success.
