EAT HERE: WILDER SF
Wednesday - Sunday
There is a new kid on the block on Fillmore and it's open for indoor and al fresco dining.
The menu is a bounty of California foodie goodness. The skillet section caught my eye and warmed the cockles of my heart. The Cajun Curry Tiger Shrimp hit the spot. The Spanish Chorizo mussels were banging with flavour, a kick of sweet & spice and crispy toast to mop up the yummy broth. Don't leave without ordering a killer cocktail. Take Mom for a Wilder Sunday brunch this weekend, you'll be glad you did.

PIN FOR A CAUSE: ARE YOU VAXXY?
San Francisco artist Jason Dilley has created a special pin inspired by the recent wave of vaccinations - the pin says "I am VAXXY" R U? Proceeds from the pin are going to help vaccinate people in foreign parts through the COVAX program of the United Nations. The pin would make for a great gift that Jason hopes people will purchase for first responders, doctors & nurses and people working the front lines. I am VAXXY and I am proud to say so.
