A few names for your upcoming project radar: first, a Kickstarter page reveals Evan and Sarah Rich’s Hayes Valley restaurant will be called ~RICH TABLE~.
Next, a Twitter tipster let me know William Werner’s upcoming pâtisserie will be called CRAFTSMAN AND WOLVES.
Ryan Scott’s upcoming project in West Portal will be called MARKET & RYE (instead of Please & Thank You), according to Eater. You can read more details about the project (which is opening next week) and peek at the menu in the post.
And my hands-down, can’t touch this, very favorite new name has to be the transformation of the Mission Hill Saloon by the Dear Mom, chaps into THE UNRESOLVED LOVE LIFE OF EVELYN LEE (thanks to Grub Street for the heads up on that one). One of the owners, Jay Beaman, explains the origin of the name in a post on Mission Mission (via Eater): “Evelyn Lee was the madam of a brothel on 3rd street (close to where the ballpark is now). She murdered her first two husbands, lost the third to consumption and the fourth ran off with a legless irish prostitute named Connie Mack. She died of a laudanum overdose in 1871 at the age of 42.” That is some history. As for the name, something had to take the coveted place of Mister Lew’s Win-Win Bar and Grand Sazerac Emporium.
