Completely impressed with the Mexican food at Yossie's Cantina in SoMa. This bar-with-a-restaurant-attached has an impressive menu, breakfast all day (!?), and the best chile colorado I've tasted in a long time. A hidden gem. Will return.

The writer of Robert Duvall's obituary died twelve years before Duvall's obituary was published. That fascinates me.
