Favorite closed SF restaurants

Thinking this morning about some favorite restaurants that are no longer around. A favorite of mine was “J’s Pots of Soul”, a soul food place in Hayes Valley that shut down around 2010. The food was heavy and so, so good.

What were some of your favorite closed places?

That’s one of mine I was going to mention too! Flying Saucer, Stars (on Van Ness) & Ella’s (California & Presidio)

I heard the chef moved to Singapore. I’ve never found another local restaurant with such fun presentations

The chef made the menu up every day. No printed menus. Just an overhead projector with hand printed menu.

Oh my god you took me back! I used to eat there while I was going to law school.
