I'd walk into the kitchen and see her grandma over the stove and a basket of warm tortillas on the table, along with leftover beans from last night's dinner. I shared this with Silvia McCollow, chef and co-owner of Nido, explaining that her food made me reminisce. "You're the third person that's said something like that to me this week. One woman broke into tears because her dinner reminded her of the meals she misses in Mexico City," she says. While my experience wasn't as dramatic, I did have considerable trouble putting down my fork.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
