EXPANSIONWIRE — Outerlands (4001 Judah) is taking over the mediocre Chinese restaurant next door, which will nearly double their real estate in the Outer Sunset. Hopefully the expansion will soften the blow of long brunch lines and weekday wait lists. [ISSF]

FOOD TRUCKS — Working to broker peace between edible mobiles and the restaurants they park near, Supervisor Scott Wiener has brought up an intriguing new possibility. Under proposed new legislation, food trucks could find fertile new ground on the college campuses and hospitals of San Francisco. [SFoodie]

PLASTIC BAG WIRE — Mayor Ed Lee is in favor of a more expansive ban on plastic bags in San Francisco. Unsurprisingly, those most concerned about the idea seem to be shopkeepers in Chinatown who are fearful of pissing off tourists. [SFGate]

APPS — The new Know What app features several specialized guides for purchase from knowledgeable Bay Area food and drink savants such as Camper English (Alcademics), Carolyn Jung (FoodGal), and the Vegansaurus crew. It's downloadable via iTunes. [Alcademics]
