This Top 100 S.F. pizzeria is now making slices with Asian American flavors
Top 100 restaurant Outta Sight opened its second location in Chinatown in January, and the stars of the show here are chunky, rectangular grandma slices loaded with Asian American-inspired toppings like butter chicken and Peking duck. It's the mapo slice ($8) that has my heart. A squiggle of tangy whipped tofu stands in for ricotta, cushioning dollops of chile crisp packed with Sichuan peppercorns.
Maggie McGarry's is the bar for Arsenal supporters, Black Magic Voodoo Lounge is where Saints fans congregate and the Morris is where you go if you're nuts for Chartreuse. Owner Paul Einbund displays his collection in his ' Chartreuse museum ' by the restaurant's entrance, which is famous for its brain freeze-inducing Chartreuse slushy. But if you want a cold treat, my recommendation is a scoop of Chartreuse ice cream ($5) for dessert. The richness of the dairy does wonderful things to the herbaceous liqueur, which I also love as a complement to chocolate. To that end, consider ordering the chocolate pudding ($12) as well and alternating bites.

Although technically outside my coverage area, I have to give a special shoutout to Fieldnotes Bakeshop in Mendocino County. You can find Alexandra Osmidoff's exemplary baked goods, including date caramel cinnamon rolls, pepita asiago scones ($5.50) and creamy artichoke heart turnovers ($6), at the Gualala farmers market on Saturdays. And if you have occasion to order a special event cake, as I did a couple of weeks ago, you can't do better than her black sesame chiffon with blood orange curd and cream cheese mousse.

Danielle Vasinova On Her Roots As a Cowgirl and the Yellowstone Universe
Wide-open plains, majestic stallions, weathered leather boots, and soft suede hats—these timeless symbols capture the essence of a cowgirl spirit. For acclaimed actress and fashion designer Danielle Vasinova, that spirit has always been a part of her. Born and raised in rural America, the Native American and Czech actress has been allured by the classic Western lifestyle since childhood. With recurring roles in Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe and a highly anticipated vintage Western Americana-inspired fashion line set for release later this year, it's easy to see that her upbringing still impacts her career today. 'Born This Way' Vasinova's father bought her her first pony when she was just three. Since then, her bond with the West and horses has developed into something that transcends a typical human-animal relationship. Vasinova is empathetically connected to these animals and views riding them not only as a privilege but also as an expression of her culture and an extension of herself. With her roles in multiple Taylor Sheridan shows, it's almost like her childhood experiences were setting her up for her current success. 'This was such a full circle moment for me,' Vasinova said. 'I've been a cowgirl since the day I was born; practically came out of the womb on a saddle. Now I'm back home in the Western world.' Vasinova's Role in The Yellowstone Universe Danielle Vasinova's prominence as a cowgirl has reached new heights in recent years. Previously, she appeared in Sheridan's 1923 as the fierce, independent Ata Waipa, adding complexity to the already riveting Yellowstone universe. She's also set to appear in Sheridan's new series The Madison as the Indigenous character Kestrel Harris, whose storyline is greatly anticipated. 'I got an audition for 1923, so I put that on tape, and then a week or two later, I got another audition for The Madison,' Vasinova said. 'I was like, 'Is this even possible?' Two roles, back to back in the Taylor Sheridan universe.' It was a dream come true. Although much is still unknown about Kestrel Harris's backstory in The Madison, set to premiere in late 2025 or early 2026, Vasinova assures viewers the character will capture their attention with a compelling storyline. 'To me, she [Harris] represents Mother Earth. There are a lot of different facets to her. She's grounded, caring, loving, wild, and free,' Vasinova said. 'A Modern-Day Superhero' As a present-day cowgirl, Danielle Vasinova believes that women are a force of nature: fierce, intelligent, decisive, and superheroes in their own right—and Vasinova always strives to bring that vision to the screen. 'Getting the opportunity to portray a superhero has always been one of my goals,' Vasinova has said. 'I come from a Comic-Con background, and those fans are the best, the absolute most die-hard loyal fans in the world!' If all her recent successes are a sign of things to come, that role might just be on the horizon. About Danielle Vasinova Daniel Vasinova is an Emmy Award-nominated actress known for her work in Taylor Sheridan's 1923, as well as several action-adventure films, TV series roles, and as Belle in Belle's War. She will star in the Yellowstone spinoff The Maidson, which is set to premiere later this year. She has been featured in several publications like Cowgirl Magazine, Town and Country Magazine, Variety, Life & Style Magazine, and more.

Fantasy football: Taylor Swift inspired team names for 2025
After a long offseason, football is back – fantasy football, that is. While teams battle through training camp and preseason action, we are left to fight battles on a different front. Those come in the form of fantasy drafts and, more importantly, choosing the right name for your squad this season. After all, you will have to look at it forever should your team be the last one standing. As Taylor Swift enters her third season as a big NFL fan, the demand for Swift-inspired names only continues to grow. For the Swifties just getting into the fantasy action – welcome aboard and don't let a fantasy championship only be reality in your wildest dreams. To let you focus on roster building, we'll ensure there's no blank space for your team name when entering draft night. Here are some fantasy football team names for 2025 that are inspired by the music superstar. Taylor Swift fantasy football team names for 2025 Short, sweet and to the point, but just different enough from the overused "Jordan Love Story" that's run its course. You can blend the Green Bay Packers quarterback's name with a bit of romance in what you hope will be a happy marriage between your team and the league's championship trophy at season's end. Finished last in your league last year and had to deal with a punishment that was either humiliating or borderline illegal? Shake it off! A lesser-known song in the Swift discography, this team name offers versatility to fit plenty of players while showcasing your Swiftie fandom. Ideally, this is what you'll want opponents saying every Sunday as the Falcons' receiver waltzes his way into the end zone. Tua Tagovailoa was made for this. Hopefully he'll stay healthy enough this season to keep this name relevant. Hey, punters are people too. Even defenses and kickers get in on the fun. Where's the love for the punters of the world? As we've established, punters are people too. However, until they enter the fantasy realm, it's hard to be excited when they appear on the field as your star player watches from the sideline. Why settle for naming your team after a player when you can just showcase your love of the game, or specifically, NFL RedZone? Sure, it's just the name of a song. However, it's the perfect fit for a team that continues to dominate the league each season and we can't let it slip by just because there isn't a pun. There's no way D'Andre Swift wasn't making this list. Sometimes you have to take the layups.
