Cheers to Tablehopper for tipping us off to the existence of a foodie film with a trailer that sucked us right in with its blend of combative tension, sheer novelty, and sociological curiosity. Ready, Set, Bag! -- a quest for the championship title at the National Grocer's Association's Best Bagger competition, screens Thursday, Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. at the Roxie Theater (3117 16th St. at Valencia). SFoodie will be there, searching for expert tips for when we have to bag our own at Rainbow.

Holy crap, it's chilly. If you're like us, you're hitting work dressed in total denial (t-shirt, with maybe a wadded-up sweater in your manbag). That means lunch has to serve as a major source of warmth -- like the chicken porridge with rau ram and crispy shallots at Out the Door Bush, 2232 Bush (at Fillmore), 923-9575. And since it's probably a good idea to up your Body Mass Index while you're at it, throw in a side of Japanese eggplant with roasted chiles and coconut milk.
