SF GIANTS: Opening Day
1:35pm first pitch
A big day for Giants fans and local businesses as Oracle Park welcomes back the faithful orange and black. A tasty day too for foodies with new Carnival-style food offerings at the ballpark; Mission-style bacon-wrapped hot dogs, a Frito pie, boozy slushies and a popcorn stand with choices from ghost pepper to grape! There will be no #28 Buster Posey behind the home plate but the 2021 NL West champs will be ready and amped to play ball and take on Miami Marlins. See you at the ballpark.

TV: Beat Bobby Flay
Rock star Chef Mathew Dolan of 25 Lusk in SF took on the big dog in Beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network this past week.

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, Chef Dolan is a fighter 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:
