M.Y. China

As someone who lived in Los Angeles for five years, I’m no stranger to dining in a mall. My top sushi spot was in a mini-mall, ditto one of the cooler tiki bars I loved. But M.Y. CHINA is no hole in the wall—this spiffy spot on…

Izakaya Roku

There are now plenty of businesses in San Francisco that call themselves an izakaya—and here’s one of the latest to join the fray, IZAKAYA ROKU. It’s a relatively tiny joint on a stretch of Market between the Castro, the edge of the Mission, the Lower Haight, and…

The Corner Store

I’m happy to see some life back at the corner of Masonic and Geary. After years of speeding past Hukilau on my way home, THE CORNER STORE is giving me a reason to pull it on over. The neighborhood needed a place like this—the throngs of nearby USF…

Stag's Lunchette

A dear friend, who is also a cook, told me I needed to meet his friend Alexeis “Lexi” Filipello—he was right, we all spent a night talking sandwiches over drinks. It’s nice when you meet fellow sandwich obsessives, and it’s even better when they open their own…
