Scott’s Chowder House, Union Square San Francisco
As of late there have been events that have taken me into San Francisco. While I grew up there, there hadn’t been much appeal to returning until lately. After leaving a photography field trip, I decided that wandering to the Embarcadero and not getting food was a terrible idea.
So I meandered in and enjoyed a lunch special Manhattan chowder, Cole slaw, lobster roll, and kettle chips. It was surprisingly more filling than most of the lobster rolls and I was grateful for the return of actual seafood, after noticing that so many restaurants had been opting for imitation seafood products but not changing their pricing.
The chowder was definitely an “intimate” food item, so I took this one home to enjoy away from the public eye.

The Cut: I Think About Joe Pesci's Rap Career
That time Joe Pesci made a rap song “ Wise Guy” based on his persona from Martin Scorsese movies. Once I learned about it from my doom scrolling and insomnia hours, I needed more people to know about it.

My take which I posted on X (fka Twitter) “Andre 3000 is about to make a killing with the crop top, Palo Santo, sea moss, waist bead, nose ring yoga girls”.
Reply from OG Penn: “…and boys” to which I then replied: “You're right. I forgot to include our cowrie shell in the locks, ‘grand rising queen’ text to a group”.
It seems super specific but you know who those people are.
