And Namu is ostensibly a Korean joint for goodness’ sake! Anyway, seriously, this was the absolute highlight of a meal full of highlights. It was even better (though not as visually stunning) than the CREATURE FROM THE DEEP, but goes equally good with a glass or three of the house rice beer.

Seriously, this is THE BEST GNOCCHI.

Late last night, completely inexplicably, a reader identifying himself as Some Guy in North Dakota left a message on our Contact Us page.

I have been reading your website all evening. I didn’t know I could connect to websites on other friggin’ planets.

Being from North Dakota, all I can say is “Wow”. Maybe I should include “Whew!” WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE???

There are about as many people in this entire state as there are in SF. The few that dress/act/talk/think like you folk get put in our State Mental Hospital.

I am stunned. Amazed. (mostly stunned).

Is there something they put in the water there? What’s the deal?

I just do NOT get it. [link]

Me neither! But thanks for reading!

I don’t even know what a Hungarian pepper is, but it sounds cool, and this shade of orange looks reaaaally good. Apparently INNA jam subscribers are receiving a jar of this this month, but hopefully some leftovers will show up at Rainbow or somewhere.

Fashionist asked this guy Chris about his fashion inspirations:

I’m really interested right now in the Duke of Windsor, just because he was so rebellious even though he was confined to this conservative background. I like the black ivy league thing that was going on with Miles Davis in the late 50s, early 60s. Also the Rat Pack, and the movie Mean Streets by Martin Scorsese.

Read on for more pics and expert analysis.

At the Verdi Club no less, as part of some Litquake thing because she wrote a book or something.

Can’t say I plan to try either, but I’d definitely eschew the open-toed look — for vaaarious reasons.
