The Fuzzy Chef & Friends

The Upper Haight, or "Haight-Ashbury" to you tourists, is the portion of Haight Street between Divisadero and Stanyan in San Francisco.  It lies West, uphill, and slightly upmarket, from the other half of Haight Street, which is known as the "Lower Haight".  It is also where I live, so I'm going to give you a rundown on where's good to eat here.  Aside from my apartment, of course!

For my first "politics" entry, I'm going to post a little about some current attempts at development in my backyard. It is about food, though, specifically groceries. If you're not from San Francisco, don't bother with the rest.

Y'see, there's this group of yuppies and professional property developers (i.e. slime) who have bought run-down property on the Haight on the cheap, and are attempting to make a killing in real estate by turing the Haight into the Marina. This'll mean, of course, raising rents, evicting people, inviting in national chain stores, and driving a lot of locally owned businesses under.
