That was when she alleges that Carta's chief revenue officer, Jeff Perry, walked by, slapped his hand on her leg, squeezed it, then kept walking.

The cakes are then judged by celebrity chef Paul Hollywood, as well as restaurateur, chef and writer Prue Leith; each week, a different baker is sent home.

Located in SF's Castro District, the GLBT Historical Society Museum is the first full-scale, stand-alone museum of its kind in the United States. The museum celebrates 100 years of the city's vast queer past through dynamic exhibitions and programming.

At Olhso Korean BBQ & Seafood, a fully robotic kitchen draws attention for both its food and its technology. One customer, San Francisco resident Miles Olson, said he was impressed by what he ordered. "Galbi, short rib, and it looks really delicious.
