As a food writer, a restaurant critic, and a Icook (I often write recipes for this publication), I look at trends in several ways.

  • Zach Woods Buys French-Inspired Los Angeles
    LOCATION: Studio City, Los Angeles, Calif. PRICE: $1.7 million SIZE: 2,019 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.25 bathrooms Now that he’s free from both the unrelenting workplace abuse of Michael Scott and the scornful rejection of former flame Erin Hannon, actor Zach Woods (the ever-awkward Gabe on “The Office,” Jared Dunn on “Silicon Valley”) is hightailing it out of Scranton, Pennsylvania and settling in Los Angeles, where he’s licking his wounds at a walled and gated cottage in the leafy Studio City neighborhood. Built in 1946, renovated in the ’60s and 2017, and described in listing materials as “French provincial” in style, the 2,000-square-foot house offers three bedrooms and 2.25 full bathrooms (one full, one three-quarter bath, and one powder room) on a nearly 6,000-square-foot lot. Secluded behind a gate and a dense canopy of foliage, the single- story structure is invisible from the street. A locked gate leads up steps past a patio hewn from decomposed granite and a second patio, this one concrete and covered by a wooden lattice. Inside, the red-tile-roofed villa sports milky white walls, vaulted ceilings, and honey- hued hardwood floors, while the unexpectedly contemporary kitchen kicks things up a decorative notch with top-of- the-line stainless appliances, Italian kitchen cabinetry custom-built by Snaidero USA, and an island with breakfast bar that opens to the breakfast room and den, where there are French doors leading outside. While it’s not huge, the master bedroom is airy thanks to a set of French doors and vaulted ceiling.

    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO LONDON N. BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE JULY 22, 2019 PUNCH LINE SAN FRANCISCO Application No.: LBR-2018-19-058 Business Name: Punch Line San Francisco Business Address: 444 Battery Street District: District 3 Applicant: Live Nation Worldwide, Inc., Owner/Operator Nomination Date: May 16, 2019 Nominated By: Supervisor Aaron Peskin Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Punch Line San Francisco is the longest-running comedy club in the city, established in 1978. The Punch Line was originally founded by Jonathan and Anne Fox along with Jeffrey and Patricia Pollack. The Foxes are the founders of the San Francisco International Comedy Competition. The venue was sold to Bill Graham in 1980. Bill Graham was a German-American impresario and rock concert promoter who made famous The Fillmore and Winterland Arena and had a profound influence around the world. In 1997, SFX Entertainment purchased Bill Graham Presents, and then in 2000 Clear Channel Entertainment bought SFX. Clear Channel operated the venue until 2005 when it spun off into a new company name: Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. The venue has operated under the "Clubs & Theaters" division of Live Nation since then, called House of Blues Entertainment. The Punch Line quickly established itself as a premier comedy club for performers and audiences alike. The citywide comedy festival SF Sketchfest operates in partnership with the Punch Line for 3 weeks out of each year. The Punch Line’s weekly Sunday showcase is the longest-running comedy showcase in the entire city of San Francisco.

[Music fades out.] 00:00:13 Jesse Host I’m Jesse Thorn. It’s Bullseye. Thorn 00:00:15 Music Music “Huddle Formation” from the album Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team. A fast, upbeat, peppy song. Music plays as Jesse speaks, then fades out. 00:00:22 Jesse Host It’s a pretty simple premise, one that has served as the backbone for dozens of movies and TV shows. You get a spaceship. It leaves Earth. It gets lost. And then the people on board have to deal with the consequences. That’s basically the premise of Avenue 5, a new comedy on HBO. [Music ends with a chorus of cheers.] It’s a show set in a not-that-distant future. Space tourism is booming with cruises. And one of the cruise ships gets knocked off-course. A trip that was supposed to take eight weeks is now gonna take three years. Maybe longer. It’s also troubling that they can’t figure out exactly how long it’s gonna take, now. So, what makes Avenue 5 special, among all these lost-in-space shows? Well, it was created by Armando Iannucci, for one. Iannucci creates comedies about people in power and the broken systems over which they preside. In Veep, In the Loop, and The Thick of It, that meant image obsessed politicians and their handlers.
