Today, we're dropping a very fun package about all things House of Prime Rib in San Francisco. First up: Tables are harder than ever to book. So how do you get in? sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/…

How are San Francisco restaurants really doing? Here’s what sales revenue says By @calaesthetic and @emma_stiefel sfchronicle.com/food/restauran… via @sfchronicle

Yes… we are working with AI! It’s pretty fun: ask our bot where to eat in the Bay Area, and it’ll surface a recommendation via the ⁦@sfchronicle⁩ (human) food team sfchronicle.com/projects/where…

Temporary tattoo startup Ephemeral is closing its studios after customers complained of ink that lasted longer than expected. trib.al/wf8V1WY

Just a brief reminder that the @sfchronicle (aka me) wrote about Feinstein's daughter having power of attorney over her two weeks ago. "Katherine Feinstein — who has power of attorney in her mother’s legal matters..." sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

For the past 18 months, @GabrielleLurie and I have been working together on a deep dive into drug dealers in the Tenderloin, the epicenter of SF’s drug crisis. The investigation led us to a tiny, remote patch of central Honduras.

@jbienkahn Thank you I owe you like 8 hours or whatever

@calaesthetic A few suspects. Not enough evidence. Some deep thoughts on ‘what is memory’?

“The Coldest Case in Laramie” is very frustrating. Can’t believe 8 episodes led to that conclusion…

@SFBallFan @demianbulwa @jesslander @Esther_mobley Read on for plenty of Boonville Hotel shout-outs/quotes! Their hot sauce, made with these local peppers, is dynamite (so is everything they make) sfchronicle.com/food/wine/arti…

@demianbulwa @jesslander @Esther_mobley @calaesthetic Why no mention of the Boonville Hotel? We've been staying here for years. Accommodations are 5 star, as well as the amazing dinners they serve. And BTW, the breakfast that's included is NY favorite and includes house made yogurt, granola, scones and local apple juice.

Welcome to Anderson Valley: This undiscovered wine region is the affordable alternative to Napa Valley Incredible feature project by @jesslander @Esther_mobley @calaesthetic and many others sfchronicle.com/food/wine/arti…

@hotfoodporn @jesslander annnd here they are!! sfchronicle.com/food/wine/arti…

@calaesthetic @jesslander Super underrated, I’m not a fan of all their wines (thoroughly enjoyed the tasting though) but the folks at Navarro are some of the nicest, most hospital wine folks in industry. Many up there, they deserve the shine

Napa and Sonoma are too expensive -- so @jesslander conceived of this package of stories about an incredible antidote: Anderson Valley. sfchronicle.com/food/wine/arti…

@sf_mills Hi, Emily, I'm with the Chronicle, hoping to talk to shoppers who were stocking up yesterday/today — could you send me a DM or email? caleb.pershan@sfchronicle.com

People are taking this storm seriously if the line at Andronico’s is any indication.

CHRONICLE INVESTIGATION: Stanford partnered with a major Bay Area hospital to open a quality pediatric intensive care unit. But the deaths of 4 children at the hospital raise questions about whether it was able to provide top-notch care. trib.al/wpAvJ9t

Let the year-in-review stories commence! First, restaurant critic @hooleil reminisces about their favorite dishes of the year. trib.al/XNpeHeQ

"The intensity, it’s very, very authentic," said chef Crenn, who advised Ralph Fiennes on his role trib.al/fI08PhL

A “temporary”-tattoo startup in San Francisco tells its customers to “regret nothing.” Now some have regrets. (via @calaesthetic for @sfchronicle in News+) apple.news/AE-DuOWhFQkKZA…

Loved this (and was brought up on La Vache Qui Rit)
