SF GIANTS: OPENING DAY
It’s a big day for Giants fans and local businesses as Oracle Park welcomes back the faithful orange and black. It’s a tasty day too for foodies with new carnival-style food offerings at the ballpark including Mission-style bacon-wrapped hot dogs, a Frito Pie, boozy slushies and a popcorn stand with choices from ghost pepper to grape! Yummy. There will be no Buster Posey behind home plate but the 2021 Western Division champs will be ready and amped to play ball and take on Miami Marlins. See you at the ballpark. 1:35pm first pitch.

TV: BEAT BOBBY FLAY
Rock star chef Mathew Dolan of 25 Lusk in San Francisco took on the big dog in Beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network this past week. To get to the final was something and the way Chef Dolan performed was nothing short of impressive. His lobster taco seemed to win the vote of the judges but then the moment of truth - our hometown Chef was defeated by Flay. However, Mathew was not really defeated, as he showed up like a champ at one of the biggest arenas in T.V. food competition. He triumphed just by making it through grueling auditions and a demanding shoot schedule. Chef Dolan is a fighter of the fighting Irish kind and at Thursday’s viewing party at Local Tap he won over many hearts. Team Dolan all the way. See the final moment with Chef Dolan V Bobby Flay here.
