SOMA - Signore Luccesi hits us up today with encouraging words regarding ex-NYer Anthony Mangieri's forthcoming Una Pizza Napoletana. Sounds like the August opening just might happen. And for the record, here's what Mangieri thinks of our West Coast ways: "In New York there are lots of rules, but there's always a way to get around them. Here, not so much...The inspectors are nicer here, though." [ISSF, Chron]
TY-FLO WIRE - GrubStreet has news that Jason Rose, culinary director of the Tyler Florence Group, resigned last Friday. And it's not even six months since he took the position. Rose speaks of "interesting prospects" on the horizon. Hmmm. [Grub Street]
WINE COUNTRY - Bardesseno chef Sean O'Toole is doing a dinner next Thursday, built around wines from singer-songwriter Boz Scaggs' appropriately named Scaggs Vineyard on Mt. Veeder. The four-course dinner includes a reception with canapes for $135. Buy tickets by calling the restaurant. [EaterWire]
SOMA - This weekend, if you venture to one of the Chipotle locations, your kids will eat free if you purchase a burrito, salad, burrito bowl or order of tacos. Don't have kids? Sorry, we've got nothing for you. [EaterWire]
SAN JOSE - Founder and chef Chris Yeo reopened Straits on Santana Row last night to show off its completely redone interior, with a bar that's ten feet longer than the old one, larger lounge area, doubled in size dance floor and more. The dinner menu remains the same, although new brunch and cocktail menus will be coming soon. [EaterWire]
UNION SQUARE - Not to be confused with the Lamb Takedown happening in August, there are a bunch of "Lamb Jam" events happening all over the city, starting tomorrow at Williams Sonoma with a 2-hour lamb recipe demo by SPQR chef Matthew Accarrino. Frances' Melissa Perello is also getting involved and you can find more info here. Big hi-five for the lamb publicists. [EaterWire]
POP-UPS - Starting Tuesday, healthy Indian meals caterer Green Coriander will be serving a three-course fixed price lunch out of La Provence on 22nd and Guerrero. SFoodie has more info on the menu and pricing. [SFoodie]
