Rocket Dog Rescue has these puppies and others up for adoption right now (as of 3:26pm) in front of Atlas.

Aww! Hurry over!

The kid’s name is Blue Ivy Carter. We were just gonna drink Chimay Blue (left) in her honor, but instead asked Dear Mom‘s Jay Beaman to invent something wholly new. Behold the Blue Ivy Carter (right). It contains gin, homemade blueberry liqueur (because blue), homemade iced tea (because Beyoncé is from Texas and they drink tea in texas), homemade simple syrup (because the whole family is a bunch of sweetie pies), and has a sugar rim (because HALO HALO HALO). It’s a shot btw. Order one tonight!

Oh and you can also order a Blue Ivy Carter and soda:

Local geriatric anthropologist David Enos just published some interesting new findings:

Older people are invested in the actual physical details of their change in a way that we are not. They like the bill to be exceptionally crisp if possible. No visible creases. Fresh from the US Mint, a bank vault, a villain’s loot. If it is crisp, their eyes light up and they admire its crispness. That bill is probably going into someone’s birthday card. They are also made anxious by any bill smaller than a five.

Read on.

Here’s what we’re looking at: corned beef, rye bread pudding, sauerkraut, Russian dressing. Dang.

It’s from Old World Food Truck, and they run a pop-up out of La Victoria Bakery every Wednesday, serving stuff like Jewish banh mi, mushroom stroganoff, pierogi and more.

Despite demolition/condo plans, the space formerly known as Spork (formerly known as KFC) has reopened temporarily as an “inexpensive fun experiment” involving rice.

Inside Scoop SF has, um, the scoop:

Spork partner Neil Jorgensen will reopen the restaurant space as a short-term concept named Rice Broker.

The crux of the menu will be rice bowls, and it will just be Jorgensen cooking with a few other staffers. He’s redone the interior and given it a new look, too.

Going forward the goal is to be open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday, at least to start. There will also be eight Asian beers available.

Eight Asian beers! Read on for the full menu and more details.

Looks like Cafe Gratitude may stick around despite the frivolous lawsuits by rabble-rousing employees who want to work a job without joining a cult. Eater SF reports.
