Eater SF: BREAKING First Word: PlumpJack Empire Taking Marin

BREAKING First Word: PlumpJack Empire Taking Marin
Friday, September 28, 2007

Welcome to First Word, your one-stop source for the lowdown on steamy community meetings, liquor licenses and the like. The word around here? It's the first, to be sure.

Already holding outposts in Tahoe and Napa, not to mention their quartet of San Fran restaurants, it was only a matter of time before Newsom and Co. set their sights on Marin County. From a very sharp tipster comes word that the PlumpJack Consortium has filed for a liquor license application in Mill Valley. It seems that 38 Miller Street will be home to a second branch of the Balboa Cafe, the empire's casual, saloon-like branch. The complete liquor license application form can be viewed here. Eater's Pre-Plywood team has already been dispatched to Balboa North.

Plumpjack Empire taking over? Worse things could happen, especially in regard to their wine shops.

Plumpjack is a very good product and trademark. Mill Valley could do much much worse with some unknown entity. As for empires... just a tad overstated don't ya think. McDonald's is an empire. Plumpjack is just a few guys and a few addresses. I'd venture into any one of them without hesitation. Congrats to Plumpjack. I hope all goes well at City Hall. Congrats to MV. Those nuts can now stay at home rather than cross a bridge for brunch.
