"I learned a longtime San Francisco classic is venturing out of the city for the first time in 85 years: Original Joe’s is opening a new Walnut Creek location, owners John and Elena Duggan confirmed to the San Francisco Chronicle. The buildout of the 9,000-square-foot space is expected to be extensive, and the Duggans say they expect to open in 2024, so it’ll be a while before the East Bay can order up a plate of Joe’s eggplant parmigiana." - Dianne de Guzman
