He was on a ladder when this happened and fell about 8 feet. He quickly regained consciousness and wanted to keep fighting the fire. His coworkers had to restrain him to get him proper medical attention. Way to bring it SFFD! You guys and gals are HEROS!

When you have to ask for nuoc mam and chili sauce, that’s a bad sign.

So so sorry about everyone who got burned out of their places, Lotus Garden folks included. And yeah, Blue Plate is pricey, but it’s awesome to walk past on a Friday or Saturday evening and see yuppies/Marina types waiting outside for their match.com dates, looking around nervously because they’re in the oh-so-scary “Mish.”

p.s. Dylan, I think your misspelling of Locavore as Locovore is brilliant and they should change their name. Great pun.

p.p.s. Fiid, I can’t believe you said “disco”! Not very Melee/Rally vocab – disco was mostly post-1975, yeah? ;~)

The people organizing the benefit at El Rio tonight for the victims of the fire are trying to figure out how to get in touch with your aunt because they’re hoping to help out.

Good luck!

But I still think $16 for meatloaf and $21 for fried chicken is fucking bullshit.

Our hearts go out to Kathy at Lotus Garden, hope you are able to come back soon, we love you, and your wonderful cuisine.
And best to the firefighter that was injured.
Peace ;D

The place got torn down pretty bad inside. It will be months before it reopens. Thanks for your thoughts and support!
