It's been a while, and it's going to be a little longer, so I think I should provide an update:

1. I have started a law firm along with a fellow food lover, Sheila Yazdi, to represent food-industry small businesses. We're calling it EatLawSF, which immediately communicates what it's about. www.eatlawsf.com. We started the firm because restaurants, carts, bars, and caterers generally don't have access to legal services since most attorneys bill at rates these businesses can't afford. Other industries use legal help throughout all stages of their life cycle but food businesses, for many reasons, never use lawyers until they're getting sued. By setting our rates at a level these businesses can easily afford, we allow them to get proper advice every step of the way, which will save them money in the long run.

   If you have a food/beverage-related business and think you could maybe use some help, even if it might have to be basically pro bono, please let me know. david AT eatlawsf DOT com.

2. Lazy Bear is not done--quite the contrary--but it has been on hiatus while I've focused on setting up EatLawSF. During this hiatus, I've continued doing some catering and private events. Very soon, however, dates for our next Lazy Bear dinners will be announced and reservations will open up. We expect these dates to sell out VERY quickly since it's been a while since our last events. Our public is clamoring for tasty morsels! To make sure you hear about it in time to get a reservation, make sure you get on our email list by emailing me at david AT lazybearsf DOT com.

3. We are looking into finding a more permanent, more legitimate space to hold Lazy Bear dinners. The plans are to have Lazy Bear dinners two nights per weekend, two weekends per month (e.g. Friday and Sunday of every other week). We have a space--and possible collaborators--in mind, but please let me know if you are aware of any other suitable spaces in SF with a reasonable kitchen, space to comfortably accommodate 16-20 people, a decent vibe, and availability at least one weekend per month.
