UPDATE: The last time we mentioned the Chili Peppers on this blog was 5 years ago and it was also a “Give It Away” reference!

I’m sure the last few times you took San Jose Avenue out into the southern part of the city (like to go to Fort Funston or the Daly City In-N-Out), you were puzzled by this huge new addition the view:

I walked up there and got a closer look:

This helpful sign explained everything:

Half Fernet, half Campari. All good.

Last night, about to fly home after a week in another city, I picked one of my Spotify playlists at random as I boarded the plane, and JUST as we finished taxiing and the engines revved, this song came on:

No more trekking up to Divis to get your fix! “WesBurger n’ More,” it’s officially gonna be called, is gonna be a permanent restaurant right here in the neighborhood. Inside Scoop has the inside scoop:

In 2013, the novice chef entered the San Francisco Burger Brawl, where he competed against local professional chefs and restaurants — and won.

Since then, he’s been holding weekly WesBurger pop-ups each Wednesday at Mojo Bicycle Café on Divasadero — starring his signature coarsely ground, all-brisket patties that are cooked in a cast iron skillet, which Rowe says makes for a light and tender patty that’s nicely charred on the outside and pink on the inside.

[...]

Now he’s making the leap from pop-up to brick-and-mortar operation with WesBurger n’ More, which will be housed in the former Palacio Latino space on Mission Street, located next door to another pop-up turned permanent: Mission Chinese Food.

Can’t wait! “Early 2016″ they’re saying. Read on for more WesBurger history and some talk about what’ll be on the menu.

(Thanks, Jess!)

Mainly I just wanted the word “Sidebern” to be here on this blog forevermore. Plus, Ralph Carney rules too. Here are all the details:

Here’s what he has to say about it:

the intersection of getting paid to do what you love for people who appreciate it is the pinnacle of purpose.  now to make a career out of it.
