This is graffiti from Sulzip Ann, a Korean restaurant in Korea town. It's another one of those teen hangout type of places and it has even more graffiti than Sarang Bang
Calling someone immaculate is high praise
cute picture from the sour bar opening at Panaea. These guys are the best

This is a fridge juxtaposition with a picture of Nate taken by Doug Biggert. I know it's not a surprise to anyone but Doug is a fabulous photographer. That's me as a teen punk on the right. Note the suit.
Revisited Pho King II for the first time in a while. They advertise their tendon as "soft tendon" and I really think it might be the best tendon in town (The SNR should give out that award for best of). Not to mention the off-the-menu cold tendon salad we had once (which they tried to claim was the cow dick salad I wanted until I busted them on it)
The lady remembered we like this raw beef salad. I know I'm gettin pretty gnarly here but recently I ran over a huge snake on the freeway (probably a rattler as I hear there is a bumper crop this year) and watching it writhe in pain in my rearview made me vow to be more conscious about the meat I eat. It made me really sad. I have gotten too used to ordering meat dishes when I could have vegetarian. So no more meat at lunch on weekdays at the very least. I only eat breakfast meat like once every two weeks, and I rarely cook meat. Too bad Red Rabbit took their veggie burger off the menu!
Beer gossip: the rumor is that a Bevmo might go in The Beat space. Which means the single bottle law will be a problem. I don't know how the ABC works, but if they get a single exemption I am going to be SUPER PISSED, considering on how many small business bottle shops we have missed out on on the grid. Davis Beer Shoppe guy considered opening here but was thwarted by that law.
Wait the Beat is closing?

It's supposedly just moving. But last time I was there they still didn't have a new spot.
ReplyDeleteAs the "singles" ordinance is written, there cannot be exemptions--except for the locations that were grandfathered in. This according to City Hall.

I wonder if BevMo could have the clout to lobby to change the ordinance.
ReplyDeleteWoah, running over snakes is gnarly. Was this near the causeway? Do we have rattlers is this area? For some reason I thought they were mostly in the foothills. I've never seen one, but saw plenty of garter snakes when I lived in the country. I almost stepped on a HUGE one that I swear was at least 10 feet long. Ick.
ReplyDeleteI encourage anyone really interested in the "singles" ordinance to reach out to Steve Hansen's chief of staff, Jameson. He's a beer enthusiast, home brewer, up to speed on a lot of this stuff. I have no quibbles with BevMo being the tipping point for the law changing; we'll see. I do think it is something that will happen in this four-year term.

We totally have rattlers in this area. OMF and I drove over one in Sutter Creek as it was striking our tire last year. It happened so fast we didn't even know what it was until it was over.
ReplyDeleteAbout 8 years ago my folks (aka Sue Moe and a shovel) killed one in their backyard at 27th and D which most likely scooted over from the river.
Finally, I've seen two dead ones on the levee trail at Sutter's Landing.
Going vegetarian after running over a damn rattlesnake?? I blame Cody!!
ReplyDeleteI plan to eat less meat, but more snake. That stupid tube of meat didn't stand a chance against my car!
ReplyDeleteTerrible T-shirt idea: "Eat More Snake".
ReplyDelete-biz
"snake rides: 10 cents"
ReplyDeleteterrible lyric idea: ride the snake to the ancient lake
ReplyDeleteterrible idea: the snake giving the scorpion a ride across the river. The scorpions just gonna sting you!
ReplyDelete"Tube of Meat" snake slang is gross and hilarious.
ReplyDeleteLiv - your folks are awesome!!
I think the single can law is a really good one I live at 16th and Gst dons bottle shop used to be able to sell single beers and when they did the bums would be there waiting for the store to open the bums after they got there beer would stumble over to my property drink it leave the trash there go to the bathroom the this would be dozens of them a day dons bottle shop had that privilege revoked and can no longer sell single beers and the next day no more bums trash human crap all that went away the next day they stopped selling single beers I will fight your effort to get rid of that law any way I can
ReplyDelete^^^this tube snake aint know no punctuation.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for those BUMS drinking $27 bottles of trippel on your lawn!!! You'll recognize them by their monocles and jodhpurs.

lol
ReplyDeleteit's time to bring 40s of camo back to the grid (not to mention that all you have to do is walk two blocks from u st. to get them)
ReplyDeleteYeah, 16th & G is really cleaned up now.
ReplyDeleteno one has been shot there so far this month!
ReplyDeletearen't 40s allowed under the no singles law? i would think that's a bigger problems than a single can of Bud.
ReplyDeleteactually, come to think of it they sell singles at Southside market for $.75 (or so I've heard... ahem) and I don't see a craze of drunks staggering around.
No 40's. Nothing single unless you're grandfathered in.
