This week I’m catching up with the owner-chef duo behind one of the Mission’s most vibrant spots—@shuggies.world 🍕 What began as a bright-yellow, upcycled pizza joint is now a climate-positive dinner club ✨ where whole-animal cooking, live music & nostalgic American flavors come together in a way that’s celebratory—not preachy 🎉 💚 They’re turning invasive species & overlooked offcuts into craveable dishes, proving sustainability should feel like a party! Also in this issue 👇🏽 • A Valentine’s Day “Book This” section 💕 • Where to find the best Dungeness crab dishes in the Bay 🦀 & more 🥂 Don’t miss NEXT WEEK’s post! I’m chatting Christopher Bean, Executive Chef at @ritzcarltonlaketahoe on launching two distinct concepts under one roof—the very new Mexican cantina Montesa & signature restaurant Manzanita. 👀 Give it a read & subscribe at the link in bio! 📍San Francisco 📸 @eringgg #sfblogger #substackwriter #missiondistrictsf #sfrestaurants #cheycheyfromthebay
