Jane the Bakery Goes to the Museum
The ground-floor restaurant at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is undergoing another reboot, but this time the incoming collaborator is a well-known brand in the San Francisco culinary universe. Jane the Bakery is set to take the place of SFMOMA's previous restaurant, Grace — and before it, Michelin-starred In Situ from chef Corey Lee — and will open as Jane on Third in August 2025, per an SFMOMA press release. Grace permanently closed as of Monday, June 30.
This is the seventh location of Jane the Bakery, and this latest will feature a mix of salads, rice bowls, panini, sandwiches, toasts, parfaits, and 'brunchfast.' That portmanteau of a last category features popular brunch and breakfast items, such as a breakfast burrito, French toast, and a sausage biscuit, per the latest menu details. There will also be a coffee program, with the usual suspects, such as espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes, with cold brew on tap. There will also be chai, matcha lattes, turmeric lattes, and a couple of smoothies to round out the drink offerings. Admission will not be required to purchase food or drinks, and there will be seating available both inside and outside the space.

Vandalism holds back bakery from reopening
Yvonne Hines is looking for some help to reopen her Bayview bakery, Yvonne's Southern Sweets, after being struck with some bad luck. First, a fire at a neighboring building forced the shop to close for repairs in January. Hines was looking to reopen, but was struck with another issue: the store's front window was shattered by vandals on June 6, Mission Local reports. Hines needs help from the community to install a new window and a roll-up gate for the bakery via GoFundMe.
Possible Safeway strike teed up for Saturday
Safeway employees may be striking this weekend if a deal isn't reached between the company and union leaders ahead of a Friday night deadline, KGO reports. The union is fighting for higher wages and better benefits for Safeway workers, and union representatives say employees could strike as soon as 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, July 26. UFCW Union Local 5 is one of three unions representing 25,000 workers, but it's not certain how many stores could be impacted by the strike. A union representative says it could impact Northern California stores, 'As far south as Bakersfield, up to the Oregon border, and everything in between.'

3 Amazing Off-The-Beaten Path Things To Do In Chicago
Chicago is full of fun things to do, see, and eat. getty If you're a seasoned and savvy traveler, and you've been to all of the major tourist spots in Chicago many times before—Navy Pier, 'The Bean', The Magnificent Mile—add something extraordinary and curious to your itinerary this time around. Chicago is full of excellent places to eat. getty Now operating out of bigger and better digs, Duck Sel, Michelin-starred chef Donald Young's brainchild, is back in business. Since the initial launch in 2021, this culinary juggernaut has evolved into an experience like no other—especially since it was named a semifinalist for a James Beard Best Chef: Great Lakes award. But, I can't tell you where. It's a secret. Seriously. Once you book your preferred time slot and date, you'll be notified that the address will be given just before your reservation. You'll be given a code and a secret password to enter and once inside you'll be taken on a wild and whimsical ride through 15 courses. Young will walk you through each plated dish, relaying stories from not only his childhood, but also, his classical French training in France and his avant-garde techniques he learned on his own. There will be surprises—you won't find spoilers here. This will be the dinner you tell all your friends about later. The Chicago Fire at a recent match at Soldier Field. Wendy Altschuler Soon, there will be a new massive privately-funded soccer-specific stadium for The Chicago Fire, built in the city's newest neighborhood: The 78. But, until that grand day comes, The Men in Red will play at Soldier Field for loyal fans at home matches. Whether you purchase a single-match ticket, or you're looking for something a bit more special with Premium Seating—Fieldside Seats and Lounges or Executive and Skyline Suites, you'll enjoy a thrilling time from the first whistle to the last. Where to stay: Located within walking distance, Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Chicago has everything you might need. For dining and drinks, pop in Arc Bar, Sixes and Eights, or Third Star, or grab snacks from Market. The fitness studio and swimming pool also make this hotel an excellent choice for families. Hyatt, the official sponsor of Chicago Fire FC, is the perfect choice. For Fitness Buffs Who Love Fresh Air The waterfront bike trail along the Lake Michigan shore, with the downtown skyline, is an incredible sight to see. getty Chicago has plenty to do in the summertime and it's no surprise that the outdoors are where locals and visitors like to hang out. The Windy City's 18-mile Lakefront Trail, operated by the Chicago Park District, is the ideal place to go for running, walking, biking, and indulging in the best of what this season has to offer. Stretching from Ardmore Avenue on the north side to 71st Street on the south side, this trail provides not only access to the lake, parks, and beaches, but also, an opportunity to get your work out in while exploring the city. And if you get hungry, there are plenty of places to stop and eat along the way. Pro tips: One of the city's best gems, the Lakefront Trail is a dream for cyclist. Whether you hop on the trail at Monroe Street, near Millennium Park and Buckingham Fountain; Museum Campus; or Montrose, you'll have a wonderful day riding along Lake Michigan. For supreme comfort while riding, choose cycling jerseys, bibs, and shorts from Mission Workshop—you'll love the soft feel, extra pockets, and protective chamois. Finally, if you plan on riding the whole trail—or further—you may want to invest in an on-bike storage system that can hold all of your supplies. The longer you can be outside, enjoying Chicago's paved waterfront trail, the better.

This Miami restaurant has a Michelin star and an award-winning chef. Now it's closing
Another Michelin-starred Miami restaurant is closing, this one from a celebrated James Beard Award-winning chef. Itamae Ao, the stunning 10-seat Peruvian-Japanese restaurant in Midtown from Chef Nando Chang, has announced that it's closing, with the final service Saturday, Aug. 2. The announcement comes a month after Maty's, the Peruvian restaurant operated by Chang's sister Valerie, also a James Beard Award winner, shut down. Itamae Ao's future was immediately uncertain: It's accessed through the adjoining Maty's space, and with Maty's closure, there was no way for customers to enter the smaller restaurant. Chang, who said he is looking for a new home for his award-winning concept, said he was grateful for 'the great run we've had in this special space.' 'Itamae AO has always been closely tied to Maty's — not just because my sister was its chef but because it literally serves as the entrance to our restaurant,' he said. 'When she stepped away, we knew it would soon be time for us to move on as well. Itamae AO isn't going away, and I'm excited to find our new home.' This summer, while he actively seeks a new space, Chang plans to take Itamae on the road with pop-ups in Milwaukee and New York City. The Changs entered the Miami restaurant industry with their father Fernando, operating the original Itamae counter at a Design District food hall. Later, they opened the restaurant as a standalone. Valerie Chang went on to open Maty's, earning the James Beard Award for Best Chef: South in 2024; her brother earned the same award in 2025, a two months after Itamae Ao earned a Michelin star. The guide praised Chang's skill with classic Peruvian-Japanese flavors. 'Searing levels of acidity and spice figure prominently on this bold tasting menu, often in the form of leche de tigre,' the guide says. 'From lobster bisque with sweet potato gnocchi to creamy rice with Hokkaido scallops and parmesan, the cooking possesses style and substance in spades.' At the Michelin ceremony in Orlando, Chang delivered an emotional speech, thanking his family and the city where he has found a home. 'I want to say I could not be prouder . . . to be a part of this beautiful country,' he said. 'Thank you, America, and thank you, Miami. ' He also thanked the James Beard Foundation for their commitment to diversity: 'All food is immigrant and immigrants make America great.'

Cole's French Dip to Remain Open Until Mid-September 2025
For anyone considering a final visit to Cole's French Dip before it closes forever, there's additional time. Owner Cedd Moses shared with Eater that the outpouring of support in the last month will enable the 117-year-old restaurant to remain open for another 45 days. Cole's originally announced that its final day of service would be August 3, 2025. Cole's final day is now in mid-September. People are longing to say goodbye to LA's oldest restaurant. Since the news was announced on July 7, steady lines have formed in front of Cole's hours before it opens. Many are eager to try a French dip from one of two restaurants claiming to have invented the dish (Chinatown's Philippe the Original also makes this assertion). Whatever side one lands on, the consensus is that Cole's is a Los Angeles cultural institution. A local advocacy group shares this belief and acted on behalf of Cole's to help extend its final closing date. That group includes the DTLA Residents Association, the Independent Hospitality Coalition, Historic Core BID, Central City Association, and the DTLA Alliance. A trompo-sized review for Taqueria Frontera The New York Times chief restaurant critic Tejal Rao gave glowing marks to Taqueria Frontera, Juan Carlos 'JC' Guerra's popular taqueria in Cypress Park. It's far more than just a restaurant review, with spots like Taqueria Frontera noting the impact of the Trump administration's immigration raids on Southern California. ICE's impact on Los Angeles restaurants The New Yorker's Hannah Goldfield took a close look at a crucial part of Los Angeles dining: family-operated restaurants and street carts, and how the targeted raids have prompted many vendors and patrons to stay home. A new beginning for Taco Maria's chef When chef Carlos Salgado closed Taco Maria in 2023, most wondered when and where his next Michelin-starred restaurant would reopen. It's happened, and 2,200 miles away from Southern California in Ephraim, Wisconsin. The Los Angeles Times reports that La Sirena debuted this month, 90 minutes away from Green Bay. Wildcrust's summer pizza lineup Wildcrust chef and owner Miles Okabayashi invited a handful of chefs to conceive pizzas in his kitchen over the next few months. The first is tonight with Firstborn chef Anthony Wang, where the two will develop a pie centered around the popular duck sausage from his Chinatown restaurant on Okabayashi's sourdough crust. They'll also make a Sichuan eggplant pizza with red Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, and stracciatella. The next dates are August 26 with Tsubaki chef de cuisine Klementine Song, and September 16 with Perilla chef Jihee Kim. They even bestowed it with a fun name, so book a table for So You Think You Can Toss via Resy. Firstborn chef Anthony Wang and Wildcrust chef Miles Okabayashi. Ron De Angelis
