The Financial District certainly isn't lacking for midday lunch options, but there's been a recent spate of openings that focus on what NoCal does best: local, seasonal, sustainable cuisine. First was Shorty Goldstein's, a deli with everything made in-house that's won some early raves. There's also Heyday, a healthy lunch spot from Chez Panisse alums that's also serving takeaway roasted Mary's chicken for dinner. The third is Foundation Cafe, a bright, subway-tiled spot on Kearny between Bush and Pine, serving up a short menu of salads and sandwiches, based on, you guessed it, local and sustainable ingredients.

Calling all college students: Have you ever thought it would be fun to be a food writer or restaurant critic? It is! And SF Weekly will help you get your foot in the door and clips under your belt with a summer internship.
As an intern, you'll get to know the S.F. food scene through collecting info, interviewing chefs and food producers, and attending events. You'll also learn how to develop and pitch stories, work under tight deadlines, edit photos, and advance your writing skills -- all items written will be subject to feedback, editing, and rewrites.
Reservations are now available for three dates at the much-lauded Liholiho Yacht Club, the loosely Hawaiian food-themed pop-up thrown by chef Ravi Kapur at State Bird Provisions. I went a few months back and am still thinking about the five spice-braised pork belly and the deep-fried quail with honey sauce served as mains, though each of the 13 dishes in the three-course, family-style meal was delicious. Make your reservation on Urbanspoon for April 21 or May 5 (it looks like the 28th is already booked).
