This Famed SF Oyster Bar Is in Hot Water for Displaying a Trump Hat
is the associate editor for the Northern California and Pacific Northwest region writing about restaurant and bar trends, coffee and cafes, and pop-ups. Swan Oyster Depot is no stranger to controversy. Now, the business stirred things up with a hat allegedly supporting President Donald Trump. Daniel Krieger/Eater SF A restaurant known for affordable oysters and stirring controversy alike has received a flurry of negative attention online once again. A local influencer shared a video allegedly showing a blue hat adorned with stars, stripes, and the numbers 45 and 47 inside Swan Oyster Depot — a tourist destination and Anthony Bourdain favorite for crab legs in Louie sauce, oysters, and draft beer. The numbers, according to the San Francisco Standard, are a common reference to Trump's two terms in office. Reddit users reposted the influencer's screenshot, drawing some ire in the comments about the business. While businesses displaying images of the owners' political and personal affiliations is not uncommon, this is just the latest in the restaurant's history of stirring diners' rage. Swan Oyster Depot's most infamous incident might be its 2021 treatment of local designer Tin Dinh. Eater SF previously reported that Dinh and his sister were called 'dim sum' multiple times by a staffer. At the time, owner Jimmy Sancimino told Eater the term referred to customers who order from multiple staff members.

Ohio attorney general approves Summa Health sale to General Catalyst
This story was originally published on Healthcare Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Healthcare Dive newsletter. Ohio's attorney general has conditionally approved venture capital firm General Catalyst's acquisition of Summa Health, according to a press release Wednesday. General Catalyst's Health Assurance Transformation subsidiary, or HATCo, and the Akron, Ohio-based health system must meet 10 conditions to allow the deal to move forward, including increasing the purchase price by $15 million in cash and an additional $15 million in equity to the surviving nonprofit foundation, according to a letter sent by Attorney General Dave Yost's office. The equity interest can't be sold for three years. HATCo will also have to file a yearly report with the attorney general to show it's complying with post-closing obligations, as well as provide notice of new deals that could trigger antitrust concerns. General Catalyst, a large venture capital firm that's invested in a number of healthcare companies, said it wanted to buy a health system in 2023 to serve as a testing ground for technology that could improve hospital operations or patient care. Early last year, the firm named Summa, one of the largest integrated systems in Ohio with more than 870 inpatient beds and thousands of employees, as its acquisition target. Months later, HATCo announced it had signed a definitive agreement to buy the health system for $485 million, and pledged to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in Summa in the years following the deal's close. The purchase would transition Summa to a for-profit operation, and the funds used to purchase the health system would go toward paying off its debt. Remaining funds would be controlled by a charitable foundation that would work independently from the for-profit operation, according to the letter sent by the Ohio attorney general's office Wednesday. Additionally, HATCo agreed that three members of the new, for-profit system board will be local community members, and one member would sit on the HATCo parent board. It also said it would maintain Summa's charity care policies, essential services like behavioral health and obstetrics, and its medical education and clinical research programs. Those policies couldn't be changed without a supermajority approval of the board, according to the letter. The Ohio attorney general also set new conditions for the deal. For example, HATCo must agree that the attorney general has jurisdiction to oversee that the firm completes its obligations set out in the purchase agreement, as well as to cooperate with any future investigations. Additionally, most board members of the charitable foundation must have no affiliation with Summa, and they have to complete the attorney general's charitable university training. 'We're confident that the agreement includes enforceable commitments that will secure Summa's nonprofit mission, protect patient care, and ensure continued investment in the greater Akron community,' Yost said in a statement. 'With proper safeguards in place, this has the potential to strengthen health care in northeastern Ohio for years to come.' The conditional approval from the attorney general is a 'significant milestone,' Michael Bernstein, system director for corporate communications at Summa said in a statement. The deal was also greenlit by the Ohio Department of Insurance on June 2, a Summa spokesperson told Healthcare Dive. The acquisition has faced some pushback from a coalition of community groups called Summa Is Not for Sale, who argue private ownership could worsen care and increase costs. However, coalition member Jeff Barge said in a statement to Healthcare Dive the conditions set by the Ohio attorney general made 'a number of innovative changes' to the purchase. Still, the group thinks Summa is being sold for about half its market value.

Kemps partners with Midwest food banks, donates nearly 800,000 milk cartons including 30,000 in Wisconsin
APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV) – Dairy brand Kemps is donating nearly 800,000 cartons of milk in 2025 to food banks across the Midwest, and on Wednesday, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin received over 30,000. The 'Giving Cow' chocolate milk cartons were donated to the Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin center in Appleton. Green Bay Area Public School District begins Summer Meals Program, providing free food to students The idea for the massive donation came from the recent rise in food costs, and in eastern Wisconsin alone, about 459,000 people are experiencing food insecurity, according to Feeding America. In Wisconsin as a whole, that number is over 617,000, with about a third of them being children. The reason for the milk donation is that it's one of the most requested and least donated items at food pantries, as many lack proper refrigeration. Mayor Eric Genrich fires back at Detroit after Green Bay NFL Draft sees nearly 31% increase in unique visitors According to the release, 'Giving Cow' milk is specifically designed in a carton made for food banks and backpack programs.
