"Cafe Jacqueline, SF's quietly iconic, souffle-only restaurant, had closed after 46 years in business in North Beach. It was only a matter of time, and stalwart chef-owner Jacqueline Margulis, at age 89, certainly has earned a rest. The restaurant is up for sale, and we can only hope that some lover of perfect souffles might buy it and recreate something similar though it will surely never be the same. Margulis has offered to apprentice anyone who's interested."
"news has arrived about the renovation of Nob Hill's 100-year-old Huntington Hotel, which is expected to make it open around March in time for its 100th anniversary. And that reopening comes with the revival of its marvelously moody ground-floor restaurant and piano lounge Big 4, which is set to re-debut this spring with a makeover by designer Ken Fulk. SFGate has one rendering here, and we should have more details soon."
"We got some positive news about Union Square today, which is that Super Duper, the local burger chain, will be opening up a location in the kiosk space on the west side of Union Square Park, adjacent to Stockton Street. The space has been largely vacant for several years, but will come alive, with burgers and soft-serve, in Fall 2026. Just after the new year we learned that Kitchen Story was closing in the Castro, after serving its last brunches on January 4."
