RIP

Josh Epple, who co-owned Noe Valley's popular Drewes Bros. Meats with his brother Isaac, was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident on Saturday. A notice on the shop's website pays tribute to Epple: "A native San Franciscan, Josh had been a part of Drewes Meats since he was a teenager. He was an avid Forty-niner fan(atic) as well as a metal head who loved Nine Inch Nails and Megadeath...May he rest in peace." No word on a memorial service as of yet; for more on Epple's life and work, check out this Edible SF profile of him. [Chron]
