SAN FRANCISCO— Will the Quickly-Ed Jew mess ever go away? The answer, it would appear, is a simple "no": "...the restaurant chain at the center of the matter -- Quickly -- is still hovering in purgatory. You recall that one of the charges against Ed was that he tried to extort $80,000 from Quickly to help the chain's stores get permits required of franchise operations in the City. To this day, Quickly still doesn't have the permits." Oh, that crazy Ed Jew. [Bronstein at Large]
THE MISSION—A tipster sends along the news that some fresh blood has arrived at the shuttered 1500 South Van Ness space: "Word is that a new chinese restaurant is about to open up in the old Ebb Tide space at 26th and South Van Ness Ave." [EaterWire]
