The past 24 hours in gossip, innuendo, and cold hard facts about the
San Francisco restaurant scene.
Grub Street's Jay B. plucks a piece of data out of one of the
Weekly's own
news stories, which mentioned that Eskender Aseged's permanent
Radio Afrika restaurant (4800 Third St.) should open "early next year." Go, Jay B.! Us, we stick to the horoscopes and the escort ads.*
The good
Paolo L. at Inside Scoop reports that the building that houses
Paragon has been sold to the San Francisco Police Officer's Association. (Wait, does that make it a snitch?) No changes are planned -- just don't get up to any funny business in the bathrooms.
Eater SF's Carolyn A. confirms rumors that the team behind Tipsy Pig and Mamacita is opening
a burger shop at 2198 Filbert. It has no name and no projected opening date yet.
Encountering covered-over windows and disconnected lines,
Eater SF makes the call:
Dragonfly (420 Judah) is down.
* Dear coworkers: jk, ha ha! We read just as many of your articles as you read of ours.
