Chef Charles Phan's decision to reopen The Slanted Door at its original location in the Mission District marks a nostalgic return to roots, promising fresh opportunities for innovation in dining.
Phan stated, 'Going back to the old place I think would do more for Slanted Door than had we stayed in the Ferry Building.' He emphasizes how the smaller setting can fuel creativity, as the previous larger space was limiting.
The Slanted Door revolutionized Valencia Street with valet parking during its rise in the late 90s, transforming the once low-key area into a bustling food destination.
The restaurant gained notoriety after President Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton dined there, showcasing its significance in San Francisco's culinary scene and its growth in popularity over the years.
