Never Forget Jesse Morris
Someone has taken to printing up stickers to commemorate Jesse Morris, the much beloved busker who was best known for his Johnny Cash covers. While this may seem like an odd way to pay tribute to someone’s memory, Morris spent his time on street corners and Bart stations. It’s fitting, then, that these stickers are…

Food trucks officially jump the shark
The Whole Foods food truck was embarrassing enough. But now that Burger King has entered the game, the game is officially over. The items sold by Burger King do not qualify as “food” by any normal standard, and their attempt to disguise this fact by placing them inside of an imitation food truck seems eerily…

Belgian eatery enforces rules with stiletto skullcrusher
They say “rules are made to be broken,” but the truth is that rules are made to be ignored. If you don’t believe that, then I have a pop quiz about the iTunes terms you agreed to last month. So when you have a rule that’s important, how do you get people to pay attention?…

How to wait for the 22 Fillmore
Is the wait for the 22 too long? “No shit,” you mutter under your breath, steam coming out your ears and veins popping out of your forehead. Fortunately, some smart local folks have apparently figured out a way to make the 22’s notoriously inconsistent schedule work in their favor: with sangria. Now on most Muni…

When artists cater
Text reads: CHEESE CUBESUnspecified number of cows (2011; casein)This dynamic piece helps us recontextualize the disparity between the troubling mouth/non-mouth dichotomy in an ersatz form readily apparent to the non-casual observer (not shown). Spotted at Obscura Day SF 2012.

People love us on Yelp
Don’t tell me I’m the only one who’s noticed the Yelp logo stuck to this painting at Little Star on Valencia. Is this a subtle hint that diners should rate Little Star on Yelp?
