"Korean corn dog shop Stix quietly opened in the Parkside last fall, but just started blowing up on social media in recent weeks, sending crowds to its tiny Taraval Street space. Its owners say it’s the only place in San Francisco to order up the treats in all their meaty, cheesy, crispy, crunchy, deep-fried glory, and a nasty incident with a racist troll this week has drawn even more supporters to its door. Stix owner Emily Hui and her fiancé met while working at a local Taiwanese restaurant. After a trip to Japan, the couple realized the popularity of Korean corn dogs, which are often featured in mukbang videos with outrageous cheese pulls. And while there are a couple of spots in San Jose that serve them, including Bazak Bazak and Myungrang, the trend hadn’t hit the seven by seven yet. 'We were wondering, what’s taking so long for someone to open it up in San Francisco?' says Hui. Finally, 'We were like, you know what, let’s just do it ourselves.' And Stix was born, quietly opening on Black Friday, 2019, in a former boba shop near 24th Avenue." - Becky Duffett
