  1. EJ Lagasse bringing the first two Michelin stars to the South. Bet the bros at Saint Germain are pissed. Thrilled for Sue Zemanick to get the other star. She ran Gautraeau’s for years and her spot in Mid-City, Zasu, flies way under the radar.
  2. Latest internal poll was like 80%. So middle class for Santa Clara County.
  3. How were the Rayas, Rousseau and Leflaive?
  4. If Bodega Chacra, then yes.
  5. 🤜🏻🤛🏼
  6. This is a good post, I don’t know why it’s getting shit on. Progressives have refused to acknowledge that tolerating public disorder in blue cities (1) has been fuel to the MAGA fire and (2) has become increasingly unpopular in blue cities themselves. Hence all this performative ICE brutality in the first place.
  7. Got a rez for the Kingsway when we head home for December, that family has been killing it.
  8. Yeah CB or Fat Harry’s would be your best bet with a big group.
  9. It’s an interesting development. Weiner has played the game, but Pelosi wants to anoint her daughter Christine. Weiner has no real statewide recognition but is immensely popular in the city as the foremost YIMBY legislator in the state and has built his own machine. And then there is Sukait Chakrabarti, who is a nobody but has tech wealth and was AoC’s CoS, funding his own campaign from the left (by San Francisco standards). I suspect Pelosi may be on the verge of retirement, but things could get spicy.
  10. Oh shit, my boy is done waiting around:
  11. It’s in the Marigny, not the Quarter, and I’ve always heard good things about things but I’d say it’s on the trendier side of hotels. Elysian Bar is cool. But yes if you are hanging uptown it’s a trek back at night.
  12. Helluva lot younger than Villaraigosa, and she is committed YIMBY + has institutional influence, whereas Porter is newfound in the former and lacking in the latter (which is why I think it’s fair to hold her accountable for being pretty insufferable). Anyways, I just find the sexism angle sort of weak in the context of a state in which women consistently hold the most prominent positions at federal, state and local levels.
  13. I just think this is overstated. As I posted earlier, this is California. Not only will we elect a Democrat, it could very well be a woman. Katie Porter is polling first now after the other two heavyweights - both women - dropped out. But she is by no means the heir apparent Dem nominee and I certainly feel no obligation to vote for her (though ironically she has been saying what I want to hear as a voter). But hey, I’m just the guy who wanted Toni Atkins (just withdrew because she can’t beat Porter).
  14. Threads like this sometimes confuse me, but then I remember what it was like to be a Texas Democrat:
  15. It’s California, there are eight Democrats in the field. It’s not like fucking Rick Caruso is going to swoop in and win the thing.* * Like, actual Democrats.
  16. Hey, player-hating is all Houston fans have right now!
  17. I disagree with the commentary. It is not, in fact, tough to watch Clayton Kershaw struggle like this.
  18. I feel like it is inevitable, but not particularly looking forward to her as governor.
  19. I love this particular shoulder season Tahoe, with no melting snow and no crowds, but getting into October you begin rolling the dice on weather (looks like snow is in the forecast next week). Just spent a week on the west side of the lake and can’t really report anything new, though if we are going back to 2019 some NOLA expats opened Toulouse in South Lake Tahoe during the pandemic and it’s a decent way to scratch both the Tahoe and New Orleans itches.
  20. Fuck everything.
  21. Have been to the Four Seasons for dinner quite a bit but have not yet stayed there as I have not breached the sanity/free child care balance with my in laws (but am close). Would appreciate reviews. I actually don’t know anyone who has stayed there.
