Ripoffs

A visit to Rice Paper Scissors in Brisbane, Australia might make you think the SF-based pop-up had moved Down Under: banh mi, pho, and rice bowls are on the menu, and the signature little red stools are on the floor and in the logo. But this Rice Paper Scissors is a rip-off: "Don't know if we should be flattered or angry, but you know you've made it as an Asian restaurant when another one copies your concept," says co-founder Valerie Luu. Perhaps they can drown their sorrows with fellow ripoff victims Humphry Slocombe? [Mission Mission]
