The past 72 hours in gossip, innuendo, and cold hard facts about the
San Francisco restaurant scene.
Oho! Inside Scoop learns that LA's Umami Burger is moving into the Marina (3242 Scott, umamiburger.com). In buzz terms, this is equivalent to a hive of overexcited wasps. Check out the celebrity sightings in this Serious Eats post, for example.
Grub Street says that a little Excelsior diner-bar named Dr.'s has changed hands but not its name.
In "What ever happened to?" news, Grub Street New York tracks down former A16 chef and screw-you-S.F.-I'm-going-big-time proclaimer Nate Appleman, and learns he's now working for Chipotle. SFoodie would like to interrupt the schadenfreude fest to comment that we suspect Appleman has been painted with the Chang brush and is probably a nice guy with a talent for saying the wrong thing in front of media people. We wish him well. Now back to your snickering.
