This Famed SF Oyster Bar Is in Hot Water for Displaying a Trump Hat | Eater SF

"An affordable-oysters restaurant and longtime tourist destination, and an Anthony Bourdain favorite for crab legs in Louie sauce, oysters, and draft beer, has recently drawn negative attention online after a local influencer shared a video allegedly showing a "blue hat adorned with stars, stripes, and the numbers 45 and 47" inside the restaurant. The numbers, according to the San Francisco Standard, are a common reference to Trump's two terms in office. Reddit users reposted the influencer’s screenshot, drawing some ire in the comments. This incident adds to the establishment's history of controversies, most notably a 2021 episode in which local designer Tin Dinh and his sister were reportedly called "dim sum" multiple times by a staffer; at the time owner Jimmy Sancimino told Eater the term referred to customers who order from multiple staff members." - Paolo Bicchieri
