It’s 7:30 a.m., and we’re happily seeing the return of California-like temperatures. It’s 47° and headed to 61°. Details for the next 10 days are here.

This is no breaking news, we know, but Michael Bauer recently visited Flour + Water and called it one of two of the best Italian restaurants. “I loved everything on my recent visit, including the puffy, slightly chewy pizza ($13-$18) and the frequently changing pastas ($16-$17). Those might include a rosemary pappardelle with wood oven-braised veal, or squid ink spaghetti with clams, squid, watermelon radishes and chile oil.”

We know where food critics eat, but do you ever wonder where well-known chefs eat out when they’re not in their own kitchens? We do; that’s the reason behind our series Best Thing I Ever Ate in the Mission. In case you missed it, the latest video in the series follows Foreign Cinema’s Gayle Pirie. You may be surprised to find out her top choices.

In court news, the trial of Edwin Ramos, an alleged MS-13 gang member accused of killing a father and two of his sons in 2008, started Monday. And there have been more developments in the Mirkarimi affair: an ex-girlfriend is now accusing him of domestic violence.

Hélène Goupil is a former editor at Mission Local who now works independently as a videographer and editor. She's the co-author of "San Francisco: The Unknown City" (Arsenal Pulp Press).
