Same owners as before! Tablehopper reports:

It’s funny how things work out sometimes. After making the hard decision to close The Roosevelt Tamale Parlor last December, owners Barry Moore and Aaron Presbrey thought they had a buyer lined up for the restaurant. Well, the deal fell through, and after trying and failing to find other buyers, they decided to reopen the restaurant and do the concept that resonated the most for them. Meet ~THE ROOSEVELT SIP N EAT~.

They reopened last week! Here’s the menu:

Dammmmmmmmn how good does that look??? Chef Deborah tells us about her special event tonight:

Nusantara is a contemporary Indonesian term for the Indonesian archipelago. Taken from an oath by Gajah Mada in 1336, Nusantara means “outer islands”. Based on the Majapahit concept of state includes; East Java, Madura, Bali, South Sumatra, Singapore, East Timor and Southern Thailand.

The food that I will represent speaks of those countries and how much we influence each other.

Dinner will be held at The Tradesman in the Mission district, a contemporary yet elegant space.

No more momentarily mistaking this place for a burger joint

FullSizeRender 12 copy 2

Remember, corner of 20th and York, across from Jay ‘n’ Bee, used to be a salon called L’Burget I think? With a big “L’Burget” on the sign? And so every time you’d go past it, even after the like 1000th time, you’d still momentarily think maybe it was a burger joint? Remember?

(Now the only danger with the new sign is you might momentarily think it’s Lil Tuffy’s house.)

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."

— My pal Valerie, writing about life in the Mission
