SF Bait

IS IT THE GATE or SF Bait, I dunno.

Anyway, let's go to the headlines, shall we.

PURPLE BURRITOS IN THE LOWER HAIGHT

Residents in the Lower Haight area have discovered a new joint that is serving purple burritos. It's become the rave. Neighbors swear by the gourmet foodie faire. "Marcia", a regular, admits that almost every Friday when walking her dog in GG Park, she stops by for lunch and orders 2 purple burritos--one for her and one for Skippie, her poodle pooch. "It's a lot of money (the burrito costs 15 bucks) but it's totallly radical and it tastes cool!" The burritos sell out every day and have become so popular and hip, regular ones with all the greatest cheese and rice/beans don't sell at all. And they're only 5 dollars. Like, just OMG!

NEW 'CRAZY' HOUSE EXCITES NATIVES at OCEAN BEACH

Neighbors and tourists alike are in total awe of a new, wacky house off Ocean Beach that has become the talk of the town. The house, which has only 900 square feet, resembles an old SF chef, Gufus DeLimabean, is currently vacant but developers who built it are hoping to attract a buyer who loves new challenges and appreciates SF's colorful history. The property doesn't have a garage or any running water yet is considered a good fixer-upper. The asking price is $2.5M dollars, a relative bargain.

MARINA POL, PROGRESSIVE VOICE, ADVOCATES MORE WOMEN ON SUPERVISOR BOARD--IS RUNNING.

Vekla Vudka, a Marina neighborhood activist and women's rights advocate, announced her candidacy for the SF Board of Supervisors. She told assembled press that in spite of SF's progressive alliance, the need for more women on the board is vital and "extremely necessary." Vudka, who is considered a strong candidate for a seat on the board, is also considering a run for DA should Chesa Boudin be recalled. "I don't have a law degree, " said Vudka, but I understand this city and people like me. They appreciate me."

IN SPITE OF DIRTY KITCHEN, DOWNTOWN GRUB PUB SOLD OUT UNTIL NOVEMBER

Mucky's Place, the French/Icelandic eatery near Oracle Park, continues to be the talk of SF's culinary club. In spite of less-than-clean looking interior, the cozy 12-seat people's pub is sold out of reservation until November. People have lined the little place and swear by its great burgers and tofu sushi. A three-course meal, including drinks is a hit for $295. A group of Financial district office techies, 12 in fact, left the place quite satisfied, "we are it! all shouted.

SOMA' (and Hunter Pence's) QUIRKY POOCH. HERE'S WHY

This lovable pooch makes walkers giggle every day. It's not just his gaze or the musical bark, he's just so, well, quirky! Almost everyone was startled to find out "Blutto" was a rescue dog owned by the ex-Giants' Hunter Pence who adopted him and takes with him when Pence scooters all over the town. The duo have surprised just about everyone in sight and not just those at Oracle Park.

Really?

  2. In Science News, Doctor Bunsen Watermelon, local scientist, reports the results of his three-year study into the suitability of the San Francisco Chronicle for puppy paper training. After a string of failures, Dr. Watermelon reports the Chronicle is unsuited to the job. "Real paper training requires a real newspaper," Watermelon reports, "and the Chronicle hasn't been a real paper for several decades, now."

  4. When SF Bait does a review of Gasia’s Honey Baked Ham in North Beach, then I’ll pay attention.

  5. I'm very intrigued by the purple burrito. Any idea what's in it? What makes it purple? Inquiring minds want to know!

    1. Just as red tortillas are colored with beet juice, some purple tortillas are made with the juice from purple carrots, others with purple corn. Just a gimmick. But $15 for a simple burrito?

  6. At one time S.F. used to be a mecca of artists and now innovators. Now it is a magnet for the self-absorbed and screwed up! Oh, by the way...There are only two genders.LOL!

    1. So there are only two genders? What do you call a person with both xx and xy chromosomes?

  7. Thanks, nothing like a dollop of junior high school-level humor to start a Tuesday. SFGate started out being the online version of the Comicle, but at some point the powers-that-be decided to create a separate, dedicated website (with paywall) that used the same branding and content as the printed newspaper, and that is "sfchronicle.com". (It appears they've since given up on the paywall idea.) Once that was up and running, Hearst had the problem of what to do with SFgate, and their answer was to turn it into a lifestyle site, full of clickbait and very light on actual news content. So while you're right that SFgate is very lame as a destination for actual news, you're also beating a dead horse, because the real (as real as it gets there) news, sports, opinion, etc. is on the "sfchronicle.com" site.

    1. You’re thinking of Marty Felchman, distant relative of Peter Felch and son Davis Felch at KCBS.

  12. San Francisco >> The City That USED to Know How. What a joke. sfchronicle.com is just as bad. All they are is a shrill for Covid-19 news and propaganda from drug promoters -- the more negative the better. And anything to do with food. Not even the New York Times or the other NYC rags -- Daily News and Post -- stuff fear down a reader's throat on a daily basis. They actually report on the news. Disgusting.

  14. I remember when SFBait actually published real news. Granted their coverage has always been shitty but they at least tried. But I agree with many of the comments on this post: SFBait has stopped trying and is perfectly content being a lousy third-tier clickbait rag. I stopped visiting their site a couple years ago once they jumped the shark and let their site go to shit.

  15. Purple Burritos... at $15.00 a pop. That is how STUPID people are these days. I hope that article was a joke. $15.00 fucking dollars for a pink burro.... I bet that food coloring is real healthy.
