Roasts and Robots: How Automation Might Change the Way We Eat
Joshua Chan
May 21, 2019
On Market Street in San Francisco near the Montgomery BART station, there’s a tiny, sleek storefront with a black sign reading “CAFE X.” It blends in with pretty much every other piece of brutalist, almost oppressively gray concrete architecture around it.

Disclaimer: I am not a nutritionist, just a student sharing what I found on the SF State campus. You’ve heard it before: “Pack your food, it’s healthier. You’ll save time and money.” But sometimes, it’s not that simple, and packing your food doesn’t automatically mean it’s health...

With a dry and sweltering atmosphere, only two words can describe this Bay Area moment - disgustingly hot. Out comes the cargo shorts, bro tanks, and flower crowns. No, we’re not at Coachella. We’re in San Francisco, and it just hit 72 degrees. The sun’s blazing rays make me feel grimy and parch...

Throngs of people flocked to Haight Street on Sunday for the 1st Annual Haight Street Music and Merchants Festival. For the adults, there were drink specials at the many bars along Haight Street, an impromptu car show, and three musical stages featuring local artists and DJs. Bigger names like T...

Written and illustrated by Nicole Dobarro With a teasing view of the Golden Gate Bridge peaking out above the fog, my eyes were peeled across acres of foliage while my mind shuffled through the pages of text and photos I read on edible plants. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I separat...

By Nicole Dobarro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGDl--J-f-k It’s 3 a.m. and it’s been a long night of inhaling cheap whiskey, tolerating the hoots, hollers, and enduring the judgement of walking barefoot in the Mission because those heels just aren’t worth it. It’s time to go home. But ...

Words and photos by Tony Santos Braving the open sea, wrangling wild animals from the depths of the ocean, and taking the kill home to feast upon the meat. Ok, it’s no Deadliest Catch, but Daniel Hoffman is regularly enjoying fresh Dungeness crab, caught from the comfort of his kayak. E...
Get Your Greens

It’s an expensive lunch in San Francisco. There’s that seven dollar sandwich, that six dollar salad- convenient but hardly satisfying. Fast food has taken away our desire to cook. Many blame it on high produce prices- or simply not having time to shop. With the new trend of "going local" when it...
