An IYKYK Duck-Centric Menu Just Launched at Mister Jiu's
Power diners in San Francisco know all about where to get their hands on crackly-skinned, Beijing-style roast duck, but one of the best-known spots is undoubtedly Mister Jiu's in San Francisco's Chinatown. It's a frequently referenced dish in chef Brandon Jew's repertoire, earning praise in the Michelin Guide, receiving its own ode in Eater SF, and even spawning a cheeky t-shirt declaring it the top roast duck in America.
Whether you believe that sentiment to be true or hyperbole, diners can find out for themselves as Mister Jiu's is finally unleashing its roast duck from the tasting menu and launched two new options for diners: a four-course, duck-centric, banquet-style menu and a limited availability (read: very limited) a la carte option at the bar. Mister Jiu's switched to a tasting menu format in 2023, and while it made the restaurant more sustainable and allowed the team to curate a dining experience for guests, it relegated the hit duck dish to an add-on component.
Now, diners can experience the Beijing duck in its umpteenth update and in all its glory — meaning, with pancakes, peanut butter hoisin, duck liver mousse, and cucumber — as part of a four-course dinner, at a much lower price of $125 per person. It's a small gift to diners and coincides with the news that the tasting menu is now expanding to eight courses for $175.
But if circumstances coincide with luck, as mine did last year, the secret is that the duck has been on and off the a la carte menu at the bar since the 2023 menu change. Dipping into the bar at Mister Jiu's after a San Francisco outing on the water, it felt like such a boon to order the duck at the bar with a friend, cocktails in hand, for a Michelin-starred experience a la minute (i.e. no reservations and no advance planning on my end). I haven't seen the duck on the a la carte menu since, but a rep for the restaurant confirmed that it can still be ordered at the bar, although it's subject to availability — namely, you're third in line behind the already-ordered ducks in the dining room. Still, if you're willing to roll the dice, this isn't a bad bet to place and perhaps your next Move this summer.
Mister Jiu's (28 Waverly Place) is open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Reservations are available via Tock .

Trump says his 'great relationship' with Elon Musk could be over
Trump says his 'great relationship' with Elon Musk could be over originally appeared on TheStreet. President Donald Trump said that his once 'great relationship' with Elon Musk could be ending as he defends his 'great big beautiful bill." "I don't know if we will anymore," he said when the press asked him about his relationship with Musk. At press time, the entire crypto market is painted red. Bitcoin is trading at $103,932.49, down by 1.25% over the last 24 hours, as per Kraken. Earlier this week, when Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong hinted that the 'big, beautiful bill' could inflate U.S. debt and make Bitcoin the reserve currency, Musk agreed and replied with a U.S. flag to his post. Musk has since then took to social media X to publicly criticize President Trump's spending bill describing it as a "Debt Slavery Bill' and noting it would add trillions to the national deficit. He also called for Americans to contact their representatives and posted a Kill Bill-style image blasting the bill. Seeing Musk's vocal support against the bill, the crypto community also responded by making a meme coin of the same name. However, Musk is not the only billionaire who has opposed this bill. Pro-crypto billionaire Tim Draper slammed the bill and proposed that Bitcoin could be the only hedge against the overspending the U.S. government is hooked to. Billionaire Ray Dalio also echoed a similar sentiment saying that the U.S. might be close to a debt crisis. He said, "this dynamic leads to a self-reinforcing debt, money-printing, and inflation spiral." At the time of writing, Tesla shares (TSLA) have also been impacted and is trading at $310.50, down by 6.59%.

Buyer With Ties to Chinese Communist Party Got V.I.P. Treatment at Trump Crypto Dinner
The Trump White House has repeatedly sounded an alarm about visitors with ties to China's Communist Party coming to the United States, arguing that they are a potential security threat. But the administration appears to have literally left the door open to a member of a Chinese government group when it went along with a plan to give the biggest purchasers of President Trump's digital currency access to the president and the White House. Mr. Trump launched a so-called memecoin, a type of cryptocurrency, just days before his inauguration. To bolster sales, the president's business partners created a contest in April, offering the coin's top buyers a tour of the White House and a private dinner with Mr. Trump at his Virginia golf club. One of those buyers was He Tianying, who is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, according to government documents in China examined by The New York Times. That government group, referred to as the C.P.P.C.C., is an advisory body that seeks to broaden the Communist Party's influence and solicit support from influential people in Chinese society. Mr. He, who was registered at the Trump event as a resident of Hong Kong, advises the Chinese government through his role as a delegate of the Fangshan C.P.P.C.C., a district of Beijing. He is listed as a member of the organization's science and technology committee. The Times could find no indication that Mr. He is a member of the Communist Party, and the government body he serves on is fairly low level. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
