TRUCK DRAMA - Not only are Tyler Florence and SoMa's escargot-bearing food truck, Spencer on the Go, involved in The Food Network's new “The Great Food Truck Race,” but Nate Appleman is getting in on the action too! The only thing that could possibly make this jucier would be a Bao bun face-off, once and for all. [ISSF]
THE SUNSET - The Kauff has been sniffing around Saiwaii Ramen, a new Japanese noodle joint that will open some time soon on Irving at 23rd. And the people at Sawaii Sushi downtown want nothing to do with it. [SFoodie]
LOWER HAIGHT - You'll remember RNM's spooky shutter on-the-fly in June. Well now GrubStreet is passing on the rumor that chef Justine Miner is over it and may not re-open the restaurant. It sounds like she's looking for the right offer to turn the place over. [GrubStreet]
THE RICHMOND - This Wednesday, if you're not Bastille Daying, Bazaar Cafe is teaching the public how to make beer at home. Your teacher, Caleb Shaffer, has been doing this for 7 years, so he knows what he's talking about. [RichmondBlog]
