It’s 7:37 a.m., a gloomy 58° and inching up to only 61°. Looks pretty thick out there. Details are here.

Buzzzzzz…. Once again, SF Gate reports, we have Her Majesty’s Secret Beekeeper in the ‘hood at 3520 20th Street, now run by Bryon Waibel “with fellow apiarist Priscilla Morris and now catering to the ever-growing ranks of hobbyist beekeepers in the Bay Area.”

There’s more on supplies and kits here.

Johnny O has been experimenting with his iPhone zoom lens at Burrito Justice. Scroll down to catch up on La Lengua’s bite of Precita.

Eater SF has a new series, Behind the Cookbook, with a look at “Mission Street Food” by Anthony Myint and Karen Leibowitz.

Here’s a snippet:

What makes for a credible recipe?
Following a recipe is easy. Choosing the right recipe is hard. Sometimes great chefs give advice that’s too complex or oversimplified. Conversely, anonymous home cooks put amazing recipes on the Internet, but there’s no way of knowing without taking the time to try them. We used the narrative to discuss our influences, inspirations, and mistakes, so that people can understand our thought processes and decide for themselves if the recipes are right for them. If you think all of our views about food and restaurants are nonsense, then in all likelihood you won’t find our recipes useful either.

The full interview is here.

Enjoy the week!

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
