- Yes, it was all about elevating this week. With Blue Bottle drips from Cento in our system, we shook our lingering hangover from Pride and turned our remaining brain cells to summer reading. Made us feel smarter, anyway.
- Contributor Tamara Palmer broke down the city's most beloved food mascots, past and present. Oh, Samurai Chef, how we love you.
- With salsa stains on her sweater, food critic Meredith Brody told us all about the new Thursday street-food market at Ferry Plaza.
- SFoodie's Mary Ladd schooled us on bagelheads. No, not the diehards who camp out at Katz's, jonesing for a schmear - these guys are way creepier than that.
- No, we haven't yet cycled through all the stages of grief over M.J.'s passing -- we're still on hunger. Thankfully, local eateries fed our need with special Jacko tributes. Tamara Palmer broke 'em down for us.
- And finally, just in time for Independence Day, Senior Herb Correspondent Steve Elliott shared his stash of party pot recipes. Go on, eat that second Fire Cracker -- it's a holiday. Kick back and enjoy the indoor fireworks. After all that learning you did on SFoodie this week, you've earned it!
