The past 24 hours in gossip, innuendo, and cold hard facts about the
San Francisco restaurant scene.
Inside Scoop and
Eater SF both announced that
Zut! (1820 Fourth St., 510-644-0444, www.zutonfourth.com) opened yesterday in the old Eccolo space. The pitch: Pan-Mediterranean bistro. Make of that what you will.
Carolyn A. of Eater SF has a talk with Kai Schoenhals and Daniel Isberg about the impending launch of
Diamond Lil. The two owners drop some series nameage ― Charles Schwab, Thomas Keller ― and hint that they have two (two!) television deals in the works. If you want to check out the bustaurant, hit up the fall release party on Sept. 11 at
A Donkey and Goat Winery, the Berkeley natural winemakers.
Jay B. at Grub Street learns of a possible Vietnamese-Cajun restaurant set to open in the Inner Sunset:
Crawfish Station (1336 Ninth Ave.). The pitch: Here's some
background intel on this national trend.
The guys behind
Naked Lunch, the pop-up sandwich shop at Enrico's in North Beach, tell
Food GPS they're hoping to open up a late-night pintxos restaurant in SOMA. (Thanks to Eater SF for spotting.)
