Highly anticipated State Street Market, the massive new food hall in Los Altos, officially opens its doors today, September 7. It’s the first food hall of its scope and stature to land on the Peninsula, and — boasting a tech visionary, award-winning design firm, and all-star lineup of chefs — it promises to turn the tech-tony town into a dining destination fit for Silicon Valley.

Neuman, whose appointment was announced Monday by the arena, the Golden State Warriors and Bon Appétit Management Company, is heading up Chase Center’s food and beverage program, a job that includes overseeing menus, managing chefs and leading some 200 culinary staffers working in the arena’s 36 concession stands and premium dining spaces.

Bon Appétit’s new Culinary Director at Chase Center started from humble beginnings at kitchens in Puerto Rico and Malaysia.

The menu reflects “The New Woman Behind the Camera” exhibit and features female chefs including Nancy Silverton, Dominique Crenn, and Claudia Fleming.

Restaurant-heavy downtown Los Altos, already a draw for locals, is poised to become a Bay Area culinary mecca when this long-anticipated food hall — the Peninsula’s first — comes to fruition later this summer.
