I don’t think I like this: the space previously occupied by Papa Potrero’s Pizza on 24th and Potrero will soon be “Wok and Go”.
It’s not that I have a problem with Chinese food or puns. In fact, if I ever open a Vietnamese restaurant I plan on calling it “Phở- geddabout it!” or “Banh Mi? Banh YOU!” (Just to be clear, it will also have a mob theme. Servers will wear track suits and slicked-back hair.)
It’s just that most puns are based on an existing phrase or premise. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term “Walk and Go”. A simple Google search confirms this. May I suggest, “Go for a Wok”? “All Wok and No Play”? Can’t go “Wong” with those.
Woah. So that’s what it sounds like when an entire neighborhood groans simultaneously.

Years back a Southeast Asian woman was found in GG Park with a plastic bag containing about a half dozen or so skinned puppies (she also had squirrels, ducks, pigeons and $400 in cash on her from welfare checks).
Someone named a restaurant for them: Wok Your Dog.
clever… very clever
As long as gang bangers don’t kill each other in there, and as long as you don’t winsomely speak reverently about their pre-killing tagging as fine art, I’m down with it.
Hey, Vic, you got some extra capital for an Eastern Mediterranean venture i’ve been conceptualizing? We’re going to call it “FalWonderful”.
Go. Bears.

Anyone apparently unfamiliar with punctuation and/or capitalization is probably not in a position to be labeling anyone else as “ignorant.”
Posers always give themselves away. Anyhoo, the location was the scene of a gang shooting last year and afterward it closed, if I am not mistaken.
Wok like an egyptian

I wish this blog had a like button!
It does!
I think we all need to address the fact that the old Castro-adjacent Mecca space on Market has reopened as a restaurant called Pudong.
I propose “Wok & Run,” which could potentially have an extra special double meaning, depending on the establishment’s health ratings.
The Foo King was always a better pun.
